HP sea mermaid

Chapter 55: Tail at the end of term

There are only champions in the Triwizard Tournament.

Durmstrang lined up with the Beauxbatons as they watched in silence as the four Hogwarts warriors lifted their trophy together on the podium, before seventh year student Cedric Diggory Representative speaks.

Triton, who was standing in the back row, was involuntarily deserting, because the idiot Harry ignored them standing on the podium, and reporters from several newspapers under the stage were taking pictures of them, and kept hitting him regardless of the occasion. Moving his feet, he silently rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'm really not hurt!"

Harry obviously showed doubts, but he was afraid that Triton would get angry, so he could only stop and hold his hand tightly in his palm, "Please tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Fortunately, the movements were concealed. Triton glanced around and saw that no one noticed their small movements and followed him.However, when he saw Ludo Bagman with a decadent expression on one side, he was still a little puzzled: "What's wrong with Director Bagman? He was fine before the game?"

"Oh, him." Harry glanced at him disinterestedly, but mainly focused on Triton, "Maybe he lost the bet."

"What? Lost the bet?" Triton suddenly turned his head and glared at Harry, "I remembered, he called you alone several times before, what did he say to you?"

Harry scratched his head, a little guilty: "It's nothing..."

"Harry."

Harry cast an anti-tapping spell before stammering and telling the truth: "That's...he said that there was an underground black market, betting on which warrior could win the Triwizard Cup, and then he bet on me and said he would help I cheated, as long as I accept the help and give me the bonus... You have to believe me, I rejected him several times!"

Triton snorted and reluctantly accepted the explanation.

Harry smiled flatteringly, and stuffed the little mermaid's hands, which had become icy in summer, into his pockets.

After the excited warrior representative Cedric finished his somewhat incoherent speech, Ludo Bagman hurriedly continued with a few sentences, then handed the microphone over to the host principal, Dumbledore, to deliver a speech. He looked around for a while and saw no one Paying attention to his actions, he lowered his head and hurried away along the maze.

"The Triwizard Tournament lasted for the entire school year," Dumbledore glanced at Bagman's leaving figure out of the corner of his eye, but his face remained calm. There are a lot of gains. Although you just sat in your seat and watched the whole game, but it is dangerous, I believe you also feel as if you are there. Although the game is over, the friendship between our three magic schools in Europe is to renew the old friendship. beginning."

The white wizard moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just announced that he would go to the auditorium to attend the celebration banquet.

Triton's eyes were on Dumbledore and Bagman, who was only a back in the distance, and he lowered his head and followed Harry's footsteps.

Although they only had dinner not long ago, this did not prevent the students from coming out to taste the delicious and sumptuous dinner.Fortunately, alcoholic beverages have not been served in the kitchen, otherwise the excited students in the auditorium would definitely be in a mess.Although there is no alcohol, students from different colleges have been raising goblets to salute the warriors, and what's more, they will run to the warrior with the cups to clink glasses with him.

Harry didn't even take a few mouthfuls before he was half-forced to drink several large cups of pumpkin juice. After thanking the enthusiastic Gryffindors around him, he swayed to the bathroom on the first floor , ready to solve their physical problems.

"Harry?"

Triton opened the door and called in. He saw Harry leaving the auditorium as if he was in a very uncomfortable condition, so he couldn't help following him worriedly.

The bathroom was very quiet, as if no one had come in just now.Triton tilted his head and listened, only to find that there was not even a sound of breathing.Did I read it wrong?No, the iconic messy hair and familiar figure are indeed Harry—but, what about people?

After blinking a few times, Triton took a step back and wanted to leave the bathroom, but hesitantly withdrew his feet.What if, what if... Harry was here?

"Harry?" Triton pushed open the doors of each compartment and took a look, only to find that the compartments were empty without a single figure. "Where are people?"

Could it be that he was wrong?The little sea mermaid didn't leave, but instead frowned and thought, looking up at the bathroom from time to time, feeling suspicious: It's okay for others to get it wrong, but it's Harry who came in, how could he admit his mistake?Also, there was indeed a lingering familiar smell in the bathroom.

The young man frowned, his eyes fell on the wall of the innermost compartment, where Harry's breath remained the most.Triton scanned left and right, and found that there was nothing suitable for testing around. Presumably, there would be nothing harmful to students in Hogwarts Castle, so he reached for the wall without hesitation.

This touch was empty, and Triton's eyes suddenly darkened, and he found that he seemed to have entered a secret room, even with his eyesight, he would not be able to see through the surrounding scene half a meter away.But here, Harry's breath was very strong, Triton couldn't see it in front of his eyes, and it was inconvenient for him to shout out if the situation was unknown, so he could only find Harry's location with his ears.

someone?The little sea mermaid paused, and his wrist was suddenly grasped by warm hands, but when was this person here?He didn't hear any movement——

"Triton/Harry?"

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then they lit up their wands to check their surroundings.

"Why is there a secret room behind the bathroom? Has no one discovered it before?" Triton turned his wand to illuminate the stone wall with fluorescent lights, trying to find the exit.

"I've never heard of a chamber of secrets here, and it's not shown on the Marauder's Map." Harry held Triton's right hand tightly with one hand. At first, he found that his heart was beating abnormally in an unfamiliar environment and gradually calmed down. "How could you come here?"

"I think you seem to be unwell, so I followed you because I was worried that something might happen to you." Triton led Harry towards the corner, where there was a strange pattern, "What do you think this is?"

Harry squinted at the dark line that would be ignored if he didn't pay attention, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, "I see, I just finished going to the toilet, and when I came out, I accidentally bumped into the door frame, and I let out a painful cry. Pour it into the wall, and ended up in this dark place! Did I just accidentally speak the snake language?"

The pattern is exactly a snake with scales clearly spitting out letters.

Triton was dubious, "Then how did I get in? I can't speak Parseltongue."

Harry was thinking hard about how to speak snake language to the stone snake, and he couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, "Could it be because I'm thinking about you?"

Triton didn't think so.His eyes fell on the place where Harry's small portrait was left under Harry's sleeve, and he was about to leave. Probably, because of the contract, the secret room might treat the two of them as one person.

[Open. ] Harry finally pronounced the correct Parseltongue. Seeing that the stone snake on the ground had moved, Harry quickly pulled Triton to his side.

Although the secret room is a completely enclosed dark environment, but because they used the fluorescent spell, their eyes did not feel uncomfortable when they first saw the light coming in from the outside, and they quickly walked out of the dark secret room.

"Could it be that the room just now was just a cover-up? Even if someone enters the room by mistake, it won't reveal any secrets. Maybe we can be teleported out after a while." Triton walked behind Harry through the long and thin road. There are dimly lit candles on both sides of the corridor, "Only those who can speak the snake language can reach the inner secret room."

"Very likely." Harry carefully pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and there was another room, but the decoration style was very familiar.

"Slytherin?" Triton's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen a signature on a note-shaped book on the desk. "Could this be Slytherin's secret room?"

The room is decorated in silver and green, and the furniture is also elegant and elegant. On the two wooden shelves against the wall are potion bottles besides books.Triton only looked at the label on the bottle under the shelf, and didn't reach out to touch it rashly.

Harry didn't have so many scruples. He flipped through these precious books and notes, his eyes filled with determination.

The green-eyed boy picked two magic notebooks suitable for his study at this stage and put them in his arms, and turned to greet Triton: "These books are of great benefit to us, do you want to bring anything?"

After lingering on "The History of Ancient Potions" and "The Encyclopedia of Potions in the Middle Ages" for a long time, Triton hesitated to take down the first one, thanked the bookshelf in a low voice before returning to Harry's side.

When they walked out of the study, apart from a huge stone room with no door next to it, there were two forked roads not far away, one wide and the other narrow.

Because they were not in a hurry to leave, the two chose the wide tunnel at will and walked for a while, and found the end after a while.In light of his previous experience in the dark room, Harry spoke a phrase of Parseltongue half-bakedly, and the wall turned open.

"This..." There was no way ahead, Triton leaned on the stone wall and looked out, and was stunned. It turned out that the passage outside turned out to be the secret room that was broken into in the second grade, and they were standing at the time when the basilisk came out of the wall. in the mouth of the Slytherin statue!

Although it has been a long time, the scene of the fight is still vivid in my memory. The two looked at the stone room outside the cave, and couldn't help but think of themselves who were weak and helpless when they faced the Horcrux Riddle and the controlled basilisk.

"Let's go." Harry took the lead to withdraw his eyes and said in a deep voice, he hugged Triton by his side, "We will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future!"

Triton smiled and nodded.In fact, in that battle, he gained something far more important than victory.

A week later.

The summer vacation is about to begin, no matter how the final exams are, every student who boards the Hogwarts Express has a cheerful smile on his face, except of course the graduates who are about to leave the school forever.

"Okay, don't be sad. We have an old saying, 'There is always a feast that ends forever', which means that there are always many unavoidable things in life. If you can't change it, you can only cherish the present." Triton patted Cedric shoulder, "Say goodbye to her well."

This "she" is definitely not a Chinese girl. In fact, Cedric, who has reddish eye circles, is just reluctant to live in Hogwarts for seven years.

Cedric didn't stay with them long, he wiped his eyes, got up and went to his friend's compartment.

There were only Triton and Harry in the car, Shani and Georig went elsewhere, Draco stayed with Pansy, Hermione was with Victor, and as for Ron... heck, probably with them. behind it.

"I will see my uncle and aunt later, you just need to say hello, and for me, they have seen you too—" Harry just thought about the usual behavior of the Dursleys, and he was worried. He will be wronged later, but he didn't show it on his face, he just hugged Xiao Hairensha tightly and kissed him on the forehead, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's the matter, why are you being so polite to me? Which one of us is with the other?" Triton didn't take Harry's worries to heart. Of course, he didn't know that in the next two weeks, he would fight for him. He regretted his carelessness at this time.
