Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 303 Let’s go and take a bath in the prefect’s bathroom.

Although I haven't had time to study the meaning of the specific content of these singing voices, Fu Rong's face has turned pale.

No matter what the specific content of the competition is, the mermaid's singing has already appeared in the reminder.

This shows that at least a very important part of the game is related to the mermaid.

Although the mermaid can surface, most of the time they stay at the bottom of the Black Lake.

Therefore, the warriors must at least accept some kind of test by the lake, and may even dive directly into the water.

In this cold weather, even being splashed by the icy lake water is enough.

And if you want to get down...Furong really feels that the organizer is planning a murder that does not require responsibility.

Looking at the tome spread out on the table, and then at the two golden eggs next to her, Furong swallowed involuntarily:

"Let's go to the bathroom to get a basin of water now, and listen to the specific content of the song in the golden egg?"

"We don't have to worry," Harley shook her head, "I happened to think of a good place."

"I got the password and specific location of the female prefect's bathroom from Angelina and the others, but I haven't used it yet."

"Speaking of which, I have never been to the prefect's bathroom. It is said that it is extremely luxurious, and there is even a bathing pool that looks like a hot spring."

"We can go there and hear the meaning of the mermaid's song in the golden egg. It will definitely be good."

"And the last time you invited me to the Beauxbaton hot springs, I haven't thanked you yet."

Listening to Harry's words, Fleur couldn't help but recall the experience she had at Beauxbatons last time, her face flushed instantly.

Hermione glanced at the two suspiciously, but didn't see anything wrong.

So she turned her attention back to the golden egg she held in her arms:
"Then let's go to the prefect's bathroom tonight. You two should figure out the competition items early so that you can prepare in advance."

"I'm fine, I'm leaving at 09:30 in the evening, so maybe I can go back to sleep before one o'clock."

Harry made the final decision,
"If it's really too late, I can also accompany Furong to live in the Room of Requirement. My quilt can be extended by magic to cover two people."

…………

At 09:30 in the evening, Harry and Hermione showed up on the sixth floor on time.

The fourth door on the right of the muddy egg glass silk statue on this floor is the bathroom of the female prefects of all Hogwarts, which is exactly opposite to the bathroom of the male prefects on the fourth door on the left.

The passwords of the two are also very interesting. The password for the male prefect's bathroom is always fresh pineapple, while the password for the female prefect's bathroom is always green duck pear.

According to some anecdote of unknown origin, these two fruits have always been Hufflepuff's favorite fruits.

And the painting at the entrance to the Hogwarts kitchen is the most obvious evidence. After so many years, the green pear on that painting is still the doorknob!

So when she built the bathroom, she specifically chose these two fruits as passwords for entering.

But Fu Rong came a little later, and she was carrying a small oil bottle behind her——

For some reason, Gabriel also came with Fleur.

"Sorry," Furong explained embarrassingly after she lifted the illusion spell on her body.
"I thought Gabriel was asleep at first, but I didn't expect that she was not asleep at all, and she quietly followed."

"I only found her after I came in through the door you left, so I had to allow her to follow."

"Who told my sister to take a bath without me." Gabriel pouted at the side,

"You let me follow Ms. Maxim every day, but you always cling to sister Halle."

"Sister, you have changed! You don't take me for fun anymore!"

"It's okay, Gabriel can follow if she wants to."

Seeing that the mixed-race Veela sisters seemed to be about to start a lecture here, Harley quickly smoothed things over,

"Hurry up and go in, you guys hurry up and solve the problem about the golden egg."

…………

The prefects' bathroom at Hogwarts is indeed luxurious, even a bit luxurious.

The bathroom of ordinary students is the same as that of Muggles, with a toilet inside and a sink for washing outside.

The washrooms in the dormitory areas of each college have also opened up a larger space separately, and installed showers for students to take a bath.

Other than that, there was nothing in the bathroom.

But the prefect's bathroom was different.

Below the ceiling, a luxurious candle-lit chandelier casts a warm glow into the room.

The floor and walls are made of snow-white marble, including the circular bath in the center of the washroom, which is sunk into the ground, is also made of flawless marble.

This bath looks very much like a swimming pool, especially with a diving board on the side, which makes people very suspicious of its function.

There is a window not far from the bath, but the glass of the window is enchanted, and you can enjoy the view of the Forbidden Forest from the inside to the outside.

If someone was riding a broomstick and wanted to look in from the outside, he would see Ms. Hufflepuff holding her wand and staring at him menacingly.

And if that person does not repent and wants to open the window quietly, then he will be doused with a large bucket of vinegar, and the vinegar smell all over his body will be stabilized by magic. Unless he masters the cracking magic, the vinegar smell will disappear within three days. disappear.

The windows were closed at this moment, and the linen curtains, as white as the walls, were drawn.

A large stack of fluffy white towels is neatly stacked in a basket by the window, with an empty basket next to it holding used dirty towels.

On the edge of the bath, there are more than 100 gold and silver faucets.

The handles of these faucets are also inlaid with gemstones of different colors and carved with animals that symbolize the four colleges, fully reflecting the affluence of Hogwarts.

The only thing that makes people curious is that I don't know why there are so many faucets here.

Even if the twelve female prefects and female student council chairmen do not overlap, and the Quidditch team captains of the four colleges at the same time all happen to be female, there are only seventeen in total.

Harry seriously doubted, even if these people came to this bathroom at the same time, could they use so many faucets at the same time?
After thinking about it, Harry seriously suspected that when the prefect's bathroom was built, the wizard who presided over the construction got kickbacks.

Wait, the person responsible for the construction here is Hufflepuff, and the money is also paid by Hufflepuff.

That's okay, I can only say that Hufflepuff is really great, and he must want to use this place as a public washroom for everyone, but some later generations wrongly distorted her meaning!
But soon, Harley will understand the wonders of these faucets.

After locking the door and putting their clothes in a basket on a rack at the entrance, the four of them, all in bathing suits and bathrobes, sat down by the pool.

Harry was not very happy to wear a swimsuit at first, but Fleur insisted that it would be better to wear it, and it was rare for Hermione to agree with her, so Harry could only agree.

According to Senior Sister Angelina's instructions, Harry patted a brick next to the bathtub.

Suddenly, a burst of magical luster flashed.

Splashes of water spewed out of the originally empty bathing pool in an instant, filling most of the bathing pool in less than 5 minutes.

Gabriel jumped into the water excitedly, and curiously turned on several faucets on the nearest wall regardless of Furong's stop.

What quickly spurted out of the first faucet were pink bubbles as big as footballs, flying in the air;
The other faucet sprayed crystal-clear bubbles that smelled like jasmine flowers. The bubbles were so buoyant that Gabriel could even float after lying on them;
Some faucets can even spray milk with the fragrance of honey and lilies. I don’t know who is such a genius who thought of preparing milk baths for girls.

Looking at the luxurious facilities, Harley should come to take a bath every day, and pull Hermione and Fleur along the way.

After all, taking a milk bath with lots of bubbles is very good for the body.

Harry sat by the pool, flicking the water with his little white feet.

Her body suddenly swayed slightly, and she slid into the water deftly, leaving only the golden egg and magic wand by the pool, and a complete bathrobe that she didn't know when she took off.

Fleur also dived into the water gently like a mermaid like she did in Beauxbatons.

The long silver hair spread out on the water, reflecting the candlelight, making it look silvery.

Hermione also wanted to follow the example of her two friends into the water, but it was a pity that she had just put her calf into the pool when she suddenly felt someone holding her feet.

Under the water, someone suddenly exerted force and directly pulled Hermione into the water.

This startled Hermione, and before she even had time to think, she wanted to struggle.

But Harry got out of the water and lifted the flustered Hermione out of the water.

"Hey, that's how Fleur attacked me last time in Beauxbatons."

"It's a pity that your reaction is not as quick as mine, He~mi~student~!"

Harry smiled mischievously, and at the same time pasted Lian on Hermione's..., and dishonestly used the low-level version of the stunt that was practiced by the noble lady in Backlund.

(Take a look at Vice Admiral Disease and a certain Miss Hunter of Sequence Nine. I think you all understand, so I won’t go into details here.)
If it weren't for the presence of Furong here, especially the nine-year-old Gabriel, certain actions were really inappropriate, and Harley would be able to show a wave of advanced strategies on the spot.

As for why Harley dared to be so bold... It can only be said that after more than three years of getting along, an old sea king like Harley still knows it well.

Hermione fought hard, and finally broke free from Harry's dishonest clutches.

She glared at Harry angrily, but in the hazy environment filled with water mist, this glance was not lethal. Instead, it could be called the "gangster's excited look."

The four of them had all entered the water and soaked most of their bodies in the water.

Except for Gabrielle who kept fiddling with the faucets, Harry, Hermione and Fleur were all leaning comfortably on the edge of the pool, enjoying the slightly warm water temperature.

Suddenly, two bubbles were pushed to Furong's face, and burst directly.

Gabriel giggled and made a face at her sister:
"It's such a fun place, but my sister doesn't want to bring me here. She wants to come secretly by herself! My sister is so mean!"

How could Furong bear this anger, and immediately swam over, wanting to educate her sister well.

But Gabriel opened more faucets, and kept blocking Fleur's progress with bubbles.

All of a sudden, the whole bath was full of bubbles and echoed with laughter like silver bells.

After being attacked by several bubbles in succession, Fu Rong seemed to be really angry.

She took a deep breath and plunged straight down.

Before Gabriel could react, she was lifted directly out of the water and suspended in mid-air.

She still wanted to struggle, but she couldn't resist at all.

Fleur stared at Gabriel in her arms, her voice slightly sullen:
"Gabriel! I didn't teach you for a while, and you started to be naughty, didn't you? You want to be spanked again, don't you?"

Although Gabriel's expression management was very good, and she became pitiful in an instant, but the expression on Furong's face was still serious.

After all, what kind of character Gabriel is, Fleur has the most say about it.

Finally, after being punished a little, Gabriel barely got Fleur's forgiveness.

With Hermione's reminder, the three of them finally got down to business.

Harry's golden egg was carried into the water.

After taking a deep breath, Harry, Hermione and Fleur dived down one after another.

The golden egg was opened in the water, and what came out of it was no longer a sharp and piercing sound, but a melodious singing:

"Look for us, in our most iconic place."

"Land, forest, and lake have conspired to take what you hold dearest, and you need to take it back."

"The watcher holds the watch, the saint holds the key, and the singer holds the map."

"When you search, please think carefully about the direction you are going."

"The stargazer's star will not guide you, the holy man's light will not shine on you, only the singer's song is your first guidepost."

"You have 24 hours to find and recover your most cherished treasure..."

After listening to the singing, the four of them quickly showed their heads—Gabriel watched her sisters all inhale and dive, so they followed suit and got into the bottom of the water.

"What does this mean?" Fu Rong asked impatiently as soon as she came out of the water.

"I'm more concerned. Does this mean we don't need to go into the water?"

"After all, the land, the forest and the lake, it sounds like the proportion of the lake is not that big, is it?"

"Maybe we just need to get...some items at the lake?"

"Of course...not." Harley ruthlessly destroyed Fleur's fantasy,

"What are you thinking? In fact, this puzzle is very simple..."

Before Harry could continue speaking, Fleur gave her a hard hit with the ball in swimming pool volleyball:
"Don't say it! Let me think for myself!"

Hermione on the side took a step slower, but also stared at Harry angrily.

When her gaze slightly shifted to the object beside Harry's face, her eyes suddenly widened and her anger grew.

No comparison, no harm!Damn it!
