Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 929: Above the water
"Why did Albert come back so soon!"
"Where's Lee Jordan?"
"Never mind that guy, come and help get the big guy out."
Albert's return caught the Weasley twins by surprise, who were planning to surprise him. The two packed up their things and hurried to the outside of the audience venue. They laboriously took out a cannon-shaped fireworks from the suitcase and aimed them at the sky——
"One, two, three."
Fred counted three times inwardly, picked up his wand and lit the fireworks, then covered his ears with his hands.
—Bang!
Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the air, turning into a lion-body griffon with outstretched wings. The giant beast raised a roar, spread its wings and hovered in the sky, and finally turned into a gorgeous firework.
It would be prettier if it were at night.
The two who just landed heard a "bang" from the auditorium. They looked up at the fireworks above their heads, and the girl asked curiously, "What are you preparing?"
"Certainly not, otherwise it should have bloomed just now." Albert looked in the direction of the stands and said with a smile, "However, I can probably guess who prepared the surprise for me."
Below the Hogwarts must win bar, Lee Jordan is organizing the crowd to cheer for Albert, and the chaotic cheers and cheers gradually merge into one voice: Albert must win, Hogwarts must win win!
Albert smiled and waved his arms to supporters in the audience.
Isobel put her arms around Albert's arm and smiled, "You're so welcome."
"It's not good to be too popular. Let's go, take a break, have a hot drink, you need to take care of it now, lest you accidentally catch a cold and get sick." Albert led Isobel to meet Pang who hurried over Mrs Frey. The latter didn't know what he was muttering in his mouth. It was impossible to say that he wrapped Albert tightly with a blanket, and was about to force a cup of potion into his mouth, but this action was rejected by Albert. stopped.
"The effect of the water breathing agent has not completely disappeared. I won't feel cold now, and my clothes have a heat preservation spell and a water and fire invincibility spell." Albert removed the blanket over Isobel's body.
"Breathing agent, do you mean Gillwort?"
Mrs. Pomfrey saw at a glance that Albert was taking gills.
"Yes, the underwater breathing agent is a potion extracted from the galanthus plant, which was presented at the International Alchemy Congress last year." Albert passed the potion in Madam Pomfrey's hand. To Isobel: "You drink it first, and I'll drink it when the effect of the gillgrass wears off."
The two followed Madam Pomfrey to the medical tent for care.
As for the other warriors, 80% of them have to wait a long time to complete the task.
"Oh my god, it's unbelievable, I'm very curious how Mr. Anderson did it." Amelia Burns glanced at the hourglass timer on the bench, from the start of the game to the end of the game. It only took a quarter of an hour (fifteen minutes) for Bert to save the hostages and return.
In fact, not only her, Madame Maxime, but the entire audience wanted to know how on earth Albert did this, was he cheating?
"I think I probably know how Mr. Anderson did it." Dumbledore raised his wand and summoned the underwater booster that Albert had thrown on the shore.
"A very clever transformation spell, and a basic movement spell, the magical result of the combination of the two." Dumbledore raised his wand and tapped on the underwater booster, the propeller that had stopped running. Rotate again.
"That's why he can swim so fast?"
"Yes."
Dumbledore motioned to the group to look at the thing and explained what it was for: "It gives you a steady and fast thrust in the water, moves easily underwater, and doesn't require swimming at all. ."
"As for the location of the mermaid village, I think Mr. Anderson is probably the only warrior who found the mermaid village in advance." Dumbledore's tone was calm, he already knew the reason why Albert was able to complete the task so quickly. "You should know that as long as you can find the mermaid village, there are too many ways to quickly find the second time."
"Is that not cheating?" Scrimgeour asked, frowning. "It's not fair to the other champions!"
"In fact, you should note that the warriors get a golden egg after the first project, as long as the warriors unlock the secret of the golden egg, they can learn the content of the second project and do it in advance Get ready, this is actually part of the second project." Dumbledore said lightly, "There is no doubt that Mr. Anderson was so prepared that he completed the task so easily that everyone thought the first The second project is easy."
Dumbledore waved his wand, turning the underwater booster back into a stone.
"Is the second project difficult?" Fudge asked suspiciously, feeling that the second project should not be difficult!
"I think the existence of the golden egg has greatly reduced the difficulty of the game, and the warriors should be allowed to face the unknown project content so as to test their abilities."
Mrs. Maxime frowned at Fudge, feeling that this guy was completely standing and talking without back pain.
If Fudge can do it herself, she has nothing to say, but it is more likely that she was sprayed into a roasted pig by a fire dragon as soon as she entered the game. If you go to the lake, 80% will drown at the bottom of the lake, and you don't even have the courage to go down the lake.
"I don't know how this guy became Minister of Magic?"
"The golden egg really exists to reduce the difficulty of the game." Dumbledore directly admitted this, and calmly explained to several temporary referees, "If there is no golden egg, the difficulty of the project will become Very high, maybe no one can even pass the level in the end. Of course, Mr. Anderson may be able to do it, but it must be done with a lot of effort. Believe me, most warriors can't do it when they are unprepared. Going down to the lake to save people is more likely to fail or drown in the icy lake, which is as difficult as subduing a fire dragon.”
The three were surprised to hear Dumbledore say that.
"In your opinion, I dare say that even a well-trained Auror may not be able to do it." Scrimgeour frowned. He didn't think the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were capable of subduing a dragon alone. Perhaps They have a way to drive away the fire dragon alone, but it is very difficult to subdue a dragon, otherwise there will be no need for so many dragon trainers.
At this moment, Albert's evaluation in the heart of the Auror Office Director has greatly improved.
"Aurors can't do it?" Fudge couldn't help frowning, clearly displeased to hear such remarks.
The elite of the Ministry of Magic is not as good as a student who hasn't graduated yet, and I'm afraid it will be a joke if you say it, you must know that every Auror is the best among wizards.
"Few people can subdue a fire dragon alone," Scrimgeour said quietly. "Even a group of dragon trainers who are familiar with those beasts. Of course, Dumbledore should be able to do it easily."
Scrimgeour ignored Fudge, looked at Dumbledore, and asked, "What are Mr. Anderson's employment preferences, and have you considered becoming an Auror?"
No way, the current Auror office has not recruited qualified new personnel for three years, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
"As far as I know, Mr. Anderson is currently writing a book," Dumbledore said with a smile. "I also received his new book, A Guide to Ancient Runes, for Christmas. A wonderful book. book, which Professor Bathsheda Babrin is considering as a replacement for A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes."
"He published a book?"
All three were surprised.
A book written by a student who hasn't left school yet?
What level is this?
"In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that Mr. Anderson has been involved in the compilation of "Basic Rune Complete" a long time ago." Dumbledore said with a smile, "He seems to be writing now. A book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, maybe this year we'll see."
"What an amazing person." Amelia Burns sighed, "I've heard rumors about him before, it seems that the rumors are not exaggerated at all, maybe he will soon be able to work in Wesson. Got a seat at the Gamore Conference."
"There are no vacancies at Wizengamot yet," Fudge reminded, clearing his throat.
"Someone will make way for him." Amelia Burns gave Fudge a sideways glance.
Especially the last time Wizengamot held an emergency meeting for Albert, which ended up giving the title "Wizengamoor UK Youth Representative" through the meeting, although that title ended up being stuck in the process, Couldn't award it to Albert, but she knew that Albert was bound to be a part of Wizengamot.
At least two-thirds would agree.
Probably only Dumbledore has such influence in the whole of the UK, but that matter obviously has nothing to do with Dumbledore, the old man would not do that kind of thing.
"Talk about the second project." Scrimgeour digressed, actually agreeing with what Amelia Burns said, although he was more inclined towards pure-blood wizards.
"Is the previous Triwizard Tournament really that difficult?"
"It's really hard, that's why accidents often happen, and sometimes it's really hard to save people." Dumbledore seamlessly continued, "Later, the Ministry of Magic decided to restart the Triwizard Tournament after ~IndoMTL. com~ Barty and Ludo came to discuss with me, we decided to lower the difficulty slightly to ensure the safety of the warriors."
"Of course, I think the changes can better highlight the level of the warriors in all aspects." Dumbledore introduced to the three, "First of all, the warriors need to overcome the difficulty of breathing underwater, although the bubble head spell can solve this problem. , but the bubble head mantra doesn't last very long, and one hour is basically the limit."
"In addition, the weather is very cold now, and it is easy to freeze when entering the water. Swimming in such an environment is not an easy task, not to mention that the light under the water is very dark, which is a test of the warriors' endurance and mental quality. Warriors who are not strong enough will face severe challenges." Dumbledore continued, "Also, it is not easy to find a mermaid village hidden in the water and grass. Although the mermaids will sing to attract warriors, I think other warriors still There is a high chance of getting lost and being attacked by Grindylo in the meantime. Although Grindylo is not a dangerous dark creature, they can cause enough trouble for warriors under water."
The problems Dumbledore said are now being played out under the Black Lake.
In fact, except for Albert, several other warriors are in trouble. Remember the website address, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" in Baidu, you can enter this site
