Hearing Professor Graplan's mention of mermaids, many students became excited.

Whether it's a wizard or a wizard from a Muggle family, you've heard stories about mermaids when you're a child.

In their minds, mermaid is a word that is synonymous with beautiful paintings.

But as Professor Grapeland whistled and three merfolk surfaced, the young wizards were dumbfounded.

The mermaid they imagined, blonde and blue-eyed, handsome, with a naked upper body and a slender and graceful tail.

But the mermaids in front of them had iron-gray skin, long, unkempt dark green hair, yellow mutilated teeth, and a greasy white tail, like a dead man's face.

Not to mention beauty, they are not related to ordinary, they are clearly a group of ugly monsters.

No...... This is certainly not a mermaid, but a deformed monster who drank Muggle nuclear wastewater!

Rove muttered secretly that "The Little Mermaid" starring Halle Bailey decades later still seems to be a realistic movie.

After everyone was silent for a long time, Justin raised his hand and said, "Professor Graplan, we want to see a real mermaid, not this kind of ugly bastard." ”

"They're real mermaids, and they're not ugly." Grapeland corrected:

"I specifically sought out Merkus, the merfolk leader of the Black Lake, and asked her to provide me with a few people to teach me.

These merfolk are truly stunning in their group and are very popular with male mermaids. ”

“……”

Everyone was speechless, they never dreamed that the word "stunning" would one day be used like this.

"But Professor, I've heard my grandmother tell me the story of the witch Mirabella Plunkit." Susan questioned:

"If all the merfolk look like this, how could she elope with the merfolk?"

Mirabella Plunkett was a nineteenth-century witch who fell in love with a mermaid who lived on Loch Lomond.

After her family rejected the marriage, she turned herself into a haddock and eloped with the mermaid.

The story is almost a household name among wizarding families, which is why they believe that merfolk are handsome or beautiful.

"Great question, does anyone know why?" Grapeland asked.

She looked around, and when she saw that no one had raised her hand, she called out "Rove...... Scamander? ”

"Different subspecies of mermaids have very different appearances." Rove explains:

"Mirabella Plunkit is obsessed with the sirens of the mermaid, which is handsome.

And the mermaids in the Black Lake are of the Serkia species, and from the aesthetic point of view of humans, they are generally ugly in appearance. ”

"That's right, Hufflepuff plus five points." Professor Grapeland said with satisfaction.

"So, is the siren the most beautiful mermaid, Professor?" Michael Corner of Ravenclaw asked.

"It's not." Professor Grapeland shook his head.

"The golden two-tailed mermaid living in the Aegean Sea is the most beautiful mermaid, even comparable to Meiwa."

Hearing the word golden twin-tailed mermaid, Rove narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered Messira, and he didn't know how she was now, whether she had found Avalon.

McMillan couldn't wait to say, "Then why don't we raise some golden twin-tailed mermaids in the Black Lake?" ”

This proposal was approved by the majority of students.

The Delacour sisters in Beauxbatons are half-breed babies, and they all know how beautiful they are.

And since the golden two-tailed mermaid is comparable to Meiwa, it's a pity not to keep it in the Black Lake!

"First of all, different subspecies of mermaids have different living environments." Professor Grapeland patiently explains:

"The suitable living environment for the golden two-tailed mermaid is the Mediterranean climate, and if you live in the black lake for a long time, it is easy to get vertical scale disease."

"Secondly, the merfolk are highly intelligent species, and they have the qualifications to become humans, but they voluntarily reject this classification.

But that doesn't mean that merfolk are wizards' servants or pets, let alone kept them, and they're just as separate races as us, centaurs, giants, and goblins. ”

Professor Grapeland looked at the young wizards' immature faces and said with a serious expression:

"Kids, this is the first thing I'm going to teach you, and the most important lesson in protecting magical beasts - respect for other species!"

"Ignorance and ignorance are not the greatest obstacles to survival, arrogance is...... You must keep this in mind, or one day you will pay a terrible price for it. ”

Professor Grapeland was not tall or serious, but he had a terrifying aura.

The students fell silent and began to take notes.

"We have to respect the merfolk race, but when we have a conflict with them, we also need to know how to deal with them, and that's what I'm going to teach you in this lesson."

Professor Grapeland swept his eyes over Rove and Shirley with a meaningful gaze.

The two of them looked at each other, and both immediately understood the hint in Graplan's words.

This was apparently Dumbledore's order to have Grapeland give the Hogwarts Warriors a small stove, after all, their second project was to face the merfolk.

"So can anyone tell me what special abilities mermaids have...... Miss Swinton? ”

"The merfolk's singing voice has the power to confuse the wizard's mind." Shirley replied.

"That's right, Ravenclaw plus two points." Professor Grapeland said.

"The first element of fighting merfolk is to use magic to isolate sounds, but just like that, it's not enough to defeat them, you also need to find the merfolk's weaknesses."

"Merfolk don't have legs and move through the water by waging their tails, and their tails are their weak point." Graplan said slowly:

"The Leg Lock Charm doesn't work against them, but the Soft Leg Charm works."

"On top of that, merfolk also domesticate things like Grindy Low as pets."

Hannah raised her hand and said, "Professor Black has already taught us how to deal with Grindy Low in last year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class. ”

"Good." Grapeland nodded with satisfaction: "In addition to Grindellow, there is another thing you should pay attention to, and that is the Loba worm. ”

"It's a very powerful aquatic creature, about ten inches long, consisting of a bouncy nozzle and a venom sac.

When threatened, it shrinks the sac and spews venom to drive away the attacker. ”

"The merfolk will use the Loba worm as a water gun, and can spray far in the water, even if they can't hit the target, they can pollute a body of water, thus poisoning the enemy."

Graplan reminded: "When facing merfolk, you must take the antidote of Loba. ”

Rove found that he had indeed ignored the problem, and he hastened to write it down in his notebook, preparing to go back and make the antidote.

Graplan waved his hand and said, "Okay, now you're going to have a hands-on session with these merfolks." ”

After Grapeland finished speaking, the three ugly female merfolk jumped onto the shore together and rushed towards Rove.

After observing in the water for a long time, they had already fallen in love with the handsome Rove, and they couldn't wait to have mermaid practice with him.
