After the Ball, there were many more couples in Hogwarts.

Harry had a great time with Ginny that night, and for the first time he realized that she was not only Ron's sister, but also a pretty girl.

Although the atmosphere was good, Ron's icy gaze finally brought him to his senses.

But maybe it was Harry's delusion, and Ron and Hermione had an awkward argument that night, looking at each other with that look.

"If you want to come with me next time you have a ball, invite me before anyone else!"

Hermione's words put an end to the argument, and the two of them didn't say anything about it the next day, and Harry saw Kano smiling subtly in the corner.

Before the Christmas holidays ended, the study of golden eggs finally progressed, and Hermione found a record of them in a book about alchemy.

"It is an alchemist's figurative description of the process of seeking truth, that is, 'break the hard shell, and the truth is in it.'" Hermione pointed to a line of inconspicuous small letters.

"But we've turned it on, and we just don't understand what it's saying." Harry said, patting the golden egg.

"Could it be that the way it was opened was wrong?" Hermione continued to speculate, "You've been breaking it along the gap, is there a way to make it open on its own?" ”

Harry scratched his head, "Do I need to hold and hatch it like a real egg?" ”

Ron immediately remembered Harry hanging the golden egg on his chest twenty-four hours a day, and hurriedly shook his head.

"No, that's too much trouble. Why don't we boil the golden eggs in water? ”

"When Hagrid hatches Noble, put the eggs in the fire and roast them, or else we'll try it too?" Harry also remembered the real dragon eggs he had seen in his first grade.

Hermione picked up the book: "I suggest soaking it in mercury, after all, alchemy is all about making gold from mercury and lead, and there may be a reward." ”

After the three of them shifted from studying the sound to studying the golden egg itself, their thoughts suddenly opened, and they also thought of a lot of bad ideas.

Anyway, Harry has four golden eggs, and there are more opportunities for trial and error.

Still, they decided to start with the easiest way possible. Under the watchful eyes of the three of them, the golden egg was thrown into a crucible filled with water and sank to the bottom of the pot.

The shell of the golden egg blooms underwater like petals, revealing the shiny structure inside, and a melodious song comes from underwater.

"It's... It's done? Harry was a little dazed.

"Put your head in the pot and listen carefully." Ron couldn't wait.

When Neville returned to the common room, he saw a group of people taking turns putting their heads in the pot, with Seamus adding water to the pot and a fire under the pot.

"Come on, Neville!" Fred greeted him warmly.

Neville flinched back in horror, feeling that no one in this room was normal today.

"The secret of the golden egg has been solved!" George explained with a smile, "Come and see. ”

Neville then came to his senses and buried his head under the water, hearing a beautiful singing.

"Look for us, where our voice sounds,

We can't sing on the ground.

As you search, think carefully:

We snatched your most beloved baby.

You only have an hour to spare,

to find and recover what we have taken,

After an hour there was no hope,

It will disappear completely, never to appear. ”

The students over there were still immersed in the joy of the successful decryption, but the three Harry were distressed.

The singing voices in the four golden eggs are the same, and the meaning of the lyrics is not difficult to guess. The next level is to find something in the Black Lake, and according to the song, it is speculated that the blocker should be a mermaid, and the time is only one hour.

However, after placing each of the four golden eggs in the water, each of them will project an underwater map with a red bright spot on it.

"Maybe those highlights are items that can be collected, and when you get them, you can get extra points." Ron speculated with interest, "If you can get all four items, you'll be able to throw the other warriors farther." ”

Hermione shook her head solemnly, "The organizers won't do this. If it were that simple, wouldn't Harry's advantage be unshakable? ”

"Don't forget, Harry only has an hour. If it takes too long to get four items, or if you don't find the most important 'treasure' in the end, your score will be pitiful. ”

Harry reluctantly raised his hands, "You're all right, but the problem now is that I can't swim at all." ”

Hermione covered her mouth, "Krum told me that he was a strong swimmer. ”

Ron's face was delicate, and he stood up directly: "I'll go to the library to check the spell that can make people move underwater." ”

"I'll go too." Hermione followed.

Harry looked out his window at the frozen Black Lagoon and remembered that Kano would swim in the Black Lagoon in the winter when he was in his first year, and when he returned, he would ask him for advice.

At this time, Kano was actually soaking in the Black Lake, and Fleur on the shore was wearing a one-piece swimsuit and was wrapping her cloak and pouring a bottle of potions.

After drinking the potion, Fleur's originally frozen pale face turned rosy, and a cloud of steam emanated from her body.

"It's really cold, I'm usually a good swimmer!" Fleur muttered dissatisfiedly, "I had cramps just after I got into the water today." ”

Kano kept circling in the water in his swim trunks, and Fleur said as he nodded.

"Who told you not to use thermal insulation magic today?" Kano laughed.

"It's not that you haven't done anything with me swimming these days, I thought the water was really not that cold." Fleur said helplessly, "Your physical fitness is ridiculously good." ”

Kano could only smile, not only was he physically strong now, but even his ability to tolerate abnormal environments began to increase strangely.

Now that he is soaking in the icy water, he feels like he is taking a bath, and he may fall asleep comfortably at any moment.

The last time he tried to put his hand into the fireplace without magical protection, he didn't even feel the slightest burning sensation, let alone injury.

I don't know what happened to the other druids, but Kano himself didn't think these changes were normal.

In the distance, a figure in a blood-red robe walked by, and the two stopped talking and laughing, and looked at the uninvited guest together.

Victor. Krum was clearly not here for the winter swimmer, he was dressed very formally, and walked straight to the lake, looking at Kano soaking in the water.

"Mr. Black, I think it's time to finish our agreement today."

"Well, I can do it any time." Kano surged up from the lake with a force under his feet, and the water on his body was evaporated by the magic power.

Fleur heard Kano talk about the duel and stood aside wrapped in her cloak.

She looked at Kano worriedly, and Kano gave her a reassuring look.

Kano put on his robe and pulled out his wand. The two stood opposite each other.

"It's up to Miss Delacour to announce it." Krum said.

Fleur nodded: "Friendly match, no pursuit." ”

"The duel begins!"
