Chapter 219: Interesting Facts about the Black Lake
Together with Professor McGonagall, Lupin returns to Hogwarts, where lunch time has passed, and it's time for lunch break.
Although there is a long free time at noon, it is not mandatory for students to take a nap at Hogwarts, so there are many energetic young wizards playing outside.
In the summer, their favorite place to go is the Black Lake, and if it was last semester, they might have to add a forbidden forest development zone, but unfortunately this semester has not been opened.
After saying goodbye to the Professor, Lupin walked in the direction of the Black Lagoon, where he and Jaime agreed to go to the Black Lagoon to tease the horse-shaped monster that only knew how to eat.
After being trained by Hagrid and Professor Celterburn, the horse-shaped monster has recognized its place and has made a bad career in the Black Lake.
There are two major forces in the Black Lake that he can't provoke, one is the mermaid tribe, and the other is the giant octopus that has lived for thousands of years.
Except for these two, the other creatures in the Black Lake tossed with him.
But there was not a single creature on land that he could afford to provoke.
The smaller the humans, the more careful they have to be, and once they accidentally injure these wizard cubs, it's not as simple as scraping the slime on their bodies.
And it will provoke the great wizards who are behind the wizard cubs, and those wizards can make him uncomfortable for a long time with the movement of their fingers, which is more terrible than Hagrid's fists.
Walking along the edge of the Black Lagoon, Lupin soon spotted the Jaime Three.
Sirius also saw him from afar, smiled brightly, and beckoned to him.
"Hey! Rems, are you alright?"
The four of them were together again, Sirius asked.
"It's good, it's just two more teachers."
Lupin said with a smile.
"Teacher? Fantastic Beasts?"
Puzzled, Jaime asked, "Are there any wizards in the Forbidden Forest besides Fantastic Beasts?"
"No, it's a wizard."
Lupin shook his head and said.
"Are they just like you?"
Pettigrew looked around like a mouse and whispered. Sirius and Jaime both gathered around, looking at Lupin curiously, and blocking the other young wizards from causing some unnecessary trouble.
"Yes."
Lupin paused, nodded, and said.
"Where are you going every month after that?" Or the Forbidden Forest?"
Sirius asked.
Last semester, they managed to learn the Animagus. This is thanks to the thunderstorm of the King of the Forbidden Forest, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to wait for a thunderstorm in England.
"I don't know, it's probably the Forbidden Forest."
Lupin was a little embarrassed to say that after all, it was for him that everyone had learned this magic.
"Okay."
Sirius was clearly a little lost.
"Do you think I can learn from Animagus?"
Noticing that everyone's interest was not high, Lupin changed the subject.
"You?"
All three looked at him in shock.
"You know, clothes are going to be expendable to me. And my teachers can't solve this problem. Professor McGonagall is asking me to consider the Animagus."
Lupin explained.
"I don't think you can get past it in the first step."
Jaime remembered the painful month or so he had spent and said without thinking.
Thinking of that time, they had to be careful when they ate and talked, and scolded people for not being able to scold people, and they were often so angry that Slytherin's face turned red, and Lupin couldn't help but smile happily on his face.
For the unwary, active, impatient wizards, the first step of Animagus is enough to deter them.
First, the Animagus learner needs to hold a mandrake leaf in their mouth for a full month, from one full moon to another.
During this time, you must not swallow the leaves or take out your mouth, otherwise you will have to start the whole process again
Cheng, and the leaves are also invalid.
The four of them walked along the Black Lake, chatting as they walked.
In terms of knowledge, Sirius couldn't talk at all, and he was a little bored and had to kick the pebbles by the lake to have fun.
When he saw the slightly raised sand dunes, he would also kick them with great interest, look at the sand sprinkled into the air, and smile like a fool.
Pettigrew followed Jaime and Lupin, listening to their conversation, but not interjecting, which made him a little unobtrusive.
"Indeed. Looks like I'm going to learn the magic of my teachers first, and I'm learning Animagus."
Lupin thought for a moment and said.
The Animagus was very timing, and the mere requirement of a full moon shattered the desire of all werewolf wizards for this magic.
Is it possible for a werewolf to have a werewolf wizard hold a mandrake leaf during his transformation and keep it intact until the end of the next full moon?
"Pettigrew, why do you always look around?"
Sirius asked, looking back.
"I feel like their conversation is too dangerous, and there are people around them."
Pettigrew said helplessly.
"Huh? It seems like so."
Jaime and Lupin are also aware of their problems, although they both consciously avoid the word werewolf.
"Then let's go back to the dormitory."
Jaime suggested.
Lupin and Pettigrew nodded approvingly, while Sirius looked casual.
Immediately, the four of them stopped talking about this, and walked along the beach towards the castle.
"Jaime, you got a scholarship this semester, did your mom and dad write to you?"
Sirius asked suddenly.
"No, they already knew. A few days before the start of school, I received a letter from the school. The family celebrated, and I stole them while they were drunk."
Jaime said he smiled heartily at his glorious deeds.
"Really?"
Sirius looked at Lupin.
Lupin nodded, he also received the letter.
When his father saw the letter, he was still in tears, proud of his child, but also deeply guilty about him.
Jaime and Lupin were the only two in their dorm room to receive scholarships. His own results are not good, and he can still rely on the help of Lupin and Jaime.
Unlike Pettigrew, he also has a self-motivated mind and will take the initiative to review on his own, without requiring James and Lupin to spend too much effort, although his grades are not as good as the first two, but he is also in the middle and upper reaches of the grade.
The group walked onto the gently sloping lawn, and Sirius stretched and spun around.
"Merlin! Not! Look."
Sirius suddenly screamed loudly, and before he could point to the lake, he grabbed his waist and twisted it.
"You can also go boating in the Black Lake!"
The other wizards on the side were distracted by Sirius's yelling and looked at the lake.
Two familiar little wooden boats rowed on the Black Lake, and the people on them were both known to Jaime.
"Humph! Let's go."
Seeing two familiar figures, Jaime said unhappily.
The other three, not knowing what to say, shrugged their shoulders, and Pettigrew and Lupin took Sirius by their arms and walked towards the castle.
It was none other than the Ralph Eight who were rowing in the lake.
According to the habit of starting school, they are also four people in a wooden boat. Barty Jr. and Claude, William, and Daniel; Ralph and Snape, Lily, and Pandora are in one place.
Jaime's eyes were good, and he immediately found Snape and Lily in the crowd, and he was immediately jealous.
However, Lupin, Pettigrew, and Sirius felt that Jaime was really dedicated, and when he was in school, he looked at it on the train and liked it until now, and there was no one else.
"Go there
Running away?"
Lily asked anxiously.
"Over there."
Ralph pointed in the right direction, and Lily quickly reversed course.
"Quick, quick, I'm going to get on it today."
Lily urged.
Pandora reluctantly chanted, waved her wand, and in a whisk of blow, it blew on the barrier of magic that Snape maintained, propelling the boat forward.
The four of them chased after each other with desperate expressions, and even though they tried to feed, they could only watch as the distance between themselves and Ralph gradually widened.
"It's over."
Looking at the gradually widening distance, William's eyes shrank, and he closed his eyes with a boring sound.
The rest of the people did the same, closing their eyes and clung to the edge of the boat.
"Cool!"
"Merlin!"
The little wizard who was watching them on the shore grew his mouth in shock and stared blankly at the scene.
William's wooden boat suddenly accelerated, and then leaped into the air, rapidly approaching Ralph's wooden boat.
"Peng!"
The little wizards seemed to hear the voice.
William and the others slammed into the water, splashing and causing ripples.
Before William could slow down for a moment, the wooden boat accelerated again, flew up and fell.
The people who saw the shore were stunned.
"That's cool!"
As he twisted to his waist, Sirius still couldn't help but be curious, and turned his head to look behind him from time to time, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but say it yearningly.
With the blessing of the little wizards and Sirius, Jaime couldn't help but take a look.
"It's too dangerous."
When Pettigrew saw this, his face turned a little whiter.
"What are you afraid of, we'll be with you. It's going to be exciting, you trust me. Ouch!"
Sirius put his arm around Pettigrew's shoulders and said with great interest, dancing and touching his waist again.
"It's funny, but I'd rather replace Snape."
Jaime said.
Lupin shrugged, after all these years, his heart had already been exercised, and there was nothing to fear him.
Back to Ralph's side.
Originally, they had accompanied Lily and Pandora to the wooden boat on the docks to study the school.
They also want to make one, and it's the kind of portable one that can be scaled up and down at will.
Ralph and they have nothing to do, and as for the homework, it is done on the same day, except for the astronomy class homework in the evening that may need to be carried over to the next day.
On the weekends, they don't have much place to go, and although the school is big, it gets a lot smaller when they get acquainted with it.
Last time, the professor had told them how to use the wooden boats, so he followed Lily and the others to play around.
Initially, they summoned seven wooden boats, one for Lily and Pandora, for research. The others had one each, playing on the lake.
Just as Lily was working on her studies, she noticed something underwater looking at her, and when she saw it, she made eye contact with the horse-shaped water monster.
The horse-shaped monster was also unlucky, he deliberately stayed away from the area frequented by the little wizards, away from the area where Hagrid would pass, and came to this small dock that no one cared about, and had a good time, and met Ralph and them.
Then, he and Lily had a little story that led to the current scene.
And Daniel their wooden boat, Ralph was afraid that they would not be able to keep up, so they cast a magic.
Similar to a leash, when the distance between the two ships expands to a certain extent, Daniel's wooden boat will be pulled down by magic on Ralph's side.
"Forget it, Lily, I feel like Claude and the others can't take it anymore."
Looking at Lily with an indignant face, Pandora persuaded and looked back a few times with some concern.
"I won't be able to stand it,
How exciting this is! I'll try it next time."
Lily said nonchalantly.
"I don't want to experience it."
Pandora threw a [drying spell] behind her and said helplessly.
The horse-shaped monster swam rapidly underwater, and he just wanted to get rid of these bad wizards as quickly as possible, while at the same time constantly complaining about Hagrid's incompetence in his heart.
As a new member of the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts, it is necessary for him to master a new skill, which is to rescue the little wizard who has fallen into the water, and his teacher is Hagrid.
At first, Hagrid was afraid that he would not be able to learn well, so he deliberately used his pet teeth as a drowning object for the horse-shaped monster to learn.
With a flick of the tail, he threw the tooth of the "overboard" from the black lake onto the boat.
Although Yaya yelled at him frantically, Hagrid's praise and "kind" slap let him know that he was out of school.
Therefore, at the beginning of the school year, he followed under these wooden boats, waiting for the little wizard to fall overboard and practice his skills.
It's a pity that not a single wizard fell overboard. However, many first-year freshmen were frightened by him, and they stood tightly together, standing in the center of the wooden boat, more stable.
Just as Lily and the horse-shaped water monster looked at each other, she was frightened, screamed, and fell towards the black lake.
Seeing someone fall into the lake, the excitement of the horse-shaped water monster can be imagined.
He was quick to get Lily back on the ship with a flick of his tail, and according to Hagrid's teachings, he also deliberately attached magic to his tail so as not to stain the little wizard's clothes, but for some reason, it attracted Lily's fierce pursuit.
He was innocent, and he could only wonder if Hagrid had left a hand in teaching him. But what he didn't know was that since Hogwarts was in operation, almost no young wizards have ever fallen into the lake while crossing the lake.
Hagrid's teachings were only to plant in the horse-shaped monster's mind the idea of rescuing the young wizard.
The tragic Lily had the same experience as Toothtooth, only once, and Toothtooth many times.
But the difference is that Lily fell harder and her ass hurt more.
The horse-shaped monster, eager to express herself, did not control her strength, and Lily even flipped in the air before landing on the boat.
Moreover, Lily also thanked the Hogwarts wooden ship as one, and there were no extra bars in it, otherwise it would not have been painful.
Hogwarts is bustling with activity on weekends, and the Forbidden Forest is no exception.
The statues of each ethnic group were visited on the gentle slope and received the baptism of the sun.
The fantastic beasts watched curiously, some of the smaller ones, searching for the one of their own race among the many statues.
