Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 135
After a short period of dizziness, Harry found that he had been submerged into the bottom of the lake by the vortex summoned by Professor Peddie. Looking around, the other three warriors were no longer around. People spread out.

He swung his limbs and swam underwater, the golden key fastened to his wrist, and the four grooves on it gave him hints...

The silver keys of other warriors have five grooves. Bagman also said that gold keys are more effective than silver keys. It can be seen that Harry needs to find four pieces in the lake that can match the grooves, and then the key will be given to him. guidance.

After confirming this idea, Harry began to observe the lake carefully, trying to find some small objects artificially added to the site, but he didn't find anything conspicuous except for the white sand at the bottom of the lake.

He swam forward for a while, and there was a large piece of aquatic plants with teeth and claws in front of him. He was about to turn around, but suddenly, a shiny thing attracted his attention. It nimbly got into the aquatic plants and disappeared.

Harry struggled inwardly, released the Iron Armor Charm all over himself, gritted his teeth and swam in, the water plants tried to crush the Iron Armor Curse, entangled Harry, Harry could barely hold on, and swam very slowly.

After trudging for three minutes, he finally found the bright spot, a small device resembling a Snitch with a keyhole clearly visible.

Harry thought of the mermaid song: "A key unlocks a lock." Presumably this was the so-called "lock", and he excitedly used the Flying Charm, which flew into Harry's hand, but Harry got carried away for a moment , the Iron Armor Curse was broken by water plants, and Harry's hands and feet were entangled tightly, unable to break free.

The waterweed slowly dragged him into the bottom of the water, and it became tighter and tighter. Harry could only bite the key with his teeth and aim it at the keyhole he was holding in his hand. With a click, the lock was unlocked, and a round object fell out in the water. The flowers exploded, and the aquatic plants immediately let go of Harry and shrank back.

Harry hurriedly wandered away from the aquatic grass area, annoyed that he had wasted so much time in vain, and then he remembered another line of lyrics: "Desire is your shackle." It seems that we must proceed cautiously underwater.

He swam aimlessly for a while, except for the lake water, there was nothing unusual, only some colored ball fishes were swimming fast. He observed carefully and found that there seemed to be something hanging on the hind legs of these colored ball fishes.

Thanks to the training in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he accurately knocked out one of the ball fishes, and untied a small treasure chest from its leg. He opened the treasure chest with a key, and a golden gemstone floated out of it .

He caught it with the dexterity of a Seeker, and slipped it into the groove of the key. The red light from the key handle became a little stronger. Ordered another three slices.

When the four gemstones were assembled, the key began to heat up and vibrate, and the red light emitted from the center of the key handle pointed in one direction.

Harry swam vigorously in this direction, trying to spend less time on the road, and finally he found a small shed at the bottom of the water. This place can only be seen when people are very close, and cannot be seen from a distance.

Harry walked into the shed, and there was a counter inside, and countless bright spots floated slowly and quickly behind the counter.

Just when Harry was wondering what this thing was for, a man wearing a mask with a curly beard and a dress robe appeared leisurely. He was wearing a gorgeous robe with a round collar, and the hem of the robe drifted as if he had no legs.

Looking at this strange man, Harry instinctively felt a little horrified, and raised his wand to defend himself, but the other party raised a hand, signaling Harry to come to the counter, and inside the counter, he saw a line of glowing words emerge: " Disarm spell."

Harry suddenly realized that this level was a spell test question, and the strange man in the mask was actually the examiner. Harry shot down a bright spot with a precise disarming spell, and the masked man nodded approvingly.

Next came a dozen or so spelling questions. Harry had already learned well, and he was tutoring at Professor Peddie's club. It would be no difficulty for him to get rid of these bright spots.

Seeing that Harry had mastered it well, the masked man stopped the test. He swam to Harry and hung a small blue and white stone statue with Harry's key. Harry took a closer look and found that the statue depicted a horse. The mermaid, it turns out that this is the proof of the so-called "power of command".

The masked man patted Harry on the shoulder and pushed him out of the level. The shed was invisible behind him. He glanced at the key. The gem on it had disappeared, but a red light was shooting out from the center of the groove of the gem.

Harry was overjoyed. He didn't expect the second project to be so easy. He already had the certificate to command the horse-headed mermaid. He just needed to follow the key and find a horse-headed mermaid.

He was in the water for 10 minutes when he happened to catch a glimpse of a shark swimming across the bottom, which he knew was Victor Krum because no real shark wears swimming trunks.

From the looks of it, Krum didn't find all five fragments. Watching him open his shark's mouth and dash left and right at the school of colorful fish, Harry couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

Finally, Harry found some rough stone volutes at the bottom of the lake, covered with algae, and a group of ugly mermaids with spears in their hands, guarding four carriages in a circle.

Harry swam up to them and held up figurines to them, a mermaid beckoned to his companions, a horse-headed mermaid was harnessed to a gold and red carriage.

Harry excitedly climbed into the carriage, but the leading mermaid shook his head meaningfully, the horsehead mermaid stroked the water, and the carriage remained motionless.

"Could it be that more horsehead mermaids are needed?" Harry asked gesticulating, but the mermaids just smiled and shook their heads, and no one answered him. The man swam out and looked at him like a gorilla in a zoo.

Harry had no choice but to wander away from this place and continue to collect gem fragments. Behind him, the mermaids laughed and talked about something.

He swam to an area full of Grindylos, and the extraction spell he practiced last month came in handy. The scorching spell made the Grindylos retreat, and after about 10 minutes, he recollected four gems Fragments, guided by the key, found the second level.

There is a turntable in front of the second level. Half of the turntable says "magic creature" and half says "prophecy".

Harry turned the turntable nervously, clasped his hands together, prayed frantically with his eyes closed, and muttered: "Don't divination...don't divination...don't divination..." However, the pointer wobbled and finally stopped at "prophecy". technique".

"No!" Harry opened his mouth wide, and a big bubble came out of his mouth. Out of nowhere, an old woman with a hood, a robe and a cloak, and a raven stick in her hand floated to him with a huff. Beside him, his face covered with a scarf was almost pressed against Harry's.

Harry slid back a few times in a hurry, turned over in the water, and accidentally drank a few mouthfuls of clean and hygienic Black Lake water.

The old woman bent her body, tapped the water with the raven crutch, and a crystal ball emerged, and the scarlet handwriting composed of magic appeared in the water:
"What did you see, my boy?"
