1. The new residents of the Black Lake

In 1900, a new resident came to the Black Lake, which has been peaceful for thousands of years.

The cause of the matter is this.

All kinds of magical creatures living in the Black Lake are powerful and long-lived species. They are trapped in the Black Lake by magic contracts, and cannot leave until the end of their lives.

One day, the Black Lake Mermaid, who had been eating and drinking enough, planned to walk around to see if he could find a place to bask in the sun.

After wandering in the black lake for a while, the mermaid suddenly discovered that the lake water in a certain area was not as dark as other areas, but shone with white fluorescence, which was extremely beautiful.You know, because of the exuberant magic plants in the Black Lake, there is no sunshine under the water all year round, so the mermaid has never encountered such a situation.

So, out of curiosity, the mermaid swam over and found a beautiful mermaid.

Beautiful... the word has never had anything to do with the creatures of the Black Lake.

But obviously, the mermaid lying not far from the mermaid is extremely beautiful.

With a beautiful face and long black hair like silk grass, wrapped on the white skin, the strong color contrast is very dazzling.The fish tail below the belly is pure silvery white, and it sways gently from time to time with the fluctuation of the water flow, and the light in the water changes for a while.

The spot of light seen by the mermaid in the Black Lake is the reflection of the mermaid's tail in the water.

Merlin!This must be a powerful and beautiful deep-sea mermaid!

The Black Lake mermaid screamed, and quickly swam back to the mermaid tribe, chatting with its clansmen for a while, and then all the mermaids in the tribe mobilized to watch what they had heard about them since they were born. Relatives - beautiful and powerful deep-sea merfolk.

The priests in the tribe also rushed over with the support of the tribe. As a mermaid family with a strong sense of hierarchy, the deep-sea mermaid is equivalent to the king of all other mermaids. Even the cubs of the deep-sea mermaid must be treated with care.

It was only after the priest respectfully asked for instructions for a long time that the sleeping mermaid did not wake up. At this time, the priest knew that the mermaid in front of him fell into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.

As for when it will wake up, no one knows.

Since then, the Black Lake has returned to tranquility, but the magical creatures are very interested in this new neighbor, and they will take a look after a while.It's just that they dare not approach, let alone touch, because of the breath of the superior on the sleeping mermaid.

Time flies, 70 years have passed in a hurry.

More than 1000 years ago, a magic school was established by the Black Lake. It is the only magic school in the UK, and it is also the largest and oldest magic school in Europe.

On September [-]st of this year, Hogwarts opened again.

Since the morning, the house elves in the castle have been busy, cleaning and cooking with excitement.The ghosts began to discuss how to scare the new students this year, and the portraits took care of the costumes in the paintings, although these costumes would always automatically change back to their original positions.

On the rails extending from Hogwarts, the Hogwarts Express train is running fast, turning over mountains and lakes from time to time, looking like a winding snake from a distance.

There are obviously two situations on the train: the front of the train is a special box for nobles, and the little nobles in it often sit on gorgeous chairs drinking black tea and reading books; Talking and joking, it's so lively.

The most conspicuous among them is a boy with messy hair and wearing old-fashioned round-frame glasses, but he is undeniably handsome. Said: "Sirius, my God, man, you can't believe it, I saw a goddess!"

"Goddess? Dear friend, don't you forget that there are only witches here, not goddesses?"

The boy named Sirius dressed very aristocratically, and at a young age he could tell how popular he would be with girls in the future, but his unruly eyes didn't look like aristocrats, but more like a rebellious child.

The previous boy, James Potter, rolled his eyes helplessly, and said: "You always have so many fallacies! Come down quickly, I will take you to see her, she is simply the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! Remus, Peter, you come too! I solemnly tell you, I want to pursue her!"

"The girl James likes is really curious." Remus looked very gentle, completely different from the other three, but there was no discord, as if they were born to be friends.

"It must be beautiful..." Peter also said timidly, with curiosity in his eyes.

The four of them passed through half the train, and finally stood at the door of one of the boxes. James couldn't wait to open the door, but he couldn't control his strength for a while, and the box door made a loud noise.

"Oh no!" Sirius moaned softly, covered his face and didn't dare to look at James' expression, he thought, it must be very smelly...

"Has your brain been stuffed with achnatherum? Has no one ever told you to knock on the door before disturbing others? Or is your brain really just for looking at, and it doesn't have any function at all?"

Before James could embarrass himself with his faux pas, countless cold venoms rushed towards him. James, who had been a treasure in his family since he was a child, suddenly exploded and looked at the boy who spoke.

It was a very thin boy, who looked even thinner than Peter. The coat was obviously grown-up, and it was loosely wrapped around him, making him look even thinner.The shirt inside, or not to call it clothes at all, looked like a tablecloth had been sewn on two sides to cover him, and the short ripped jeans just covered the middle of the calf.

The boy's appearance was very ordinary, with a particularly big nose, but because of his gloomy expression, his grade was instantly dropped to the lowest level.The hair is also greasy, I don't know how long it hasn't been washed.

In short, if Lily sitting opposite him is a beautiful little princess, this boy is definitely a dwarf used to contrast the princess.

James was already very dissatisfied with the boy's words, plus the fact that the other party could sit in the same box as the goddess in his heart, James was overwhelmed with jealousy, remembering what he heard when the box opened just now, James left Curling his lips, he said in a very strange way: "Snotty? Who would name it?"

"Don't talk about Severus like that! Who are you? What are you doing in our box?" Lily has always regarded herself as Severus' female knight since she met Severus, and saw someone bullying Severus Si, jumped out quickly.

"My name is James Potter, you can call me James." Seeing the goddess talking to himself, James was instantly appeased, "May I know your name?"

"Lily Evans."

"Lily, can I call you that?" After getting a nod from Lily, James hurriedly pulled his friends in, sat next to Lily, and started to strike up a conversation, "Lily, which college are you planning to enter? I'm sure It's for Gryffindor, the best house in Hogwarts, you know? That's where the great white wizard Dumbledore graduated!"

"Really? I don't have any wizards in my family, so I don't know, but Gryffindor is really as good as you said, and I want to enter that college too."

"Great! We can have classes together in the future!" James was so happy that he was about to pass out, and his goddess looked even more beautiful up close.

"Severus, will you be in the same house as me?" Lily asked, looking at Severus expectantly.

Severus didn't speak, and Lily was quickly shifted by James, not caring whether he answered or not.Only he himself knew that he belonged to the Prince family and was destined to belong to Slytherin.

Lily chatted happily with her new friend, and Severus lowered his head to read the book, but he didn't even turn a page of the book in his hand until the train arrived at Hogwarts.

At this time, in the black lake, the mermaid who had been sleeping for 71 years opened her eyes.

The gears of fate began to turn.

2. There are fish Xiaoran

Xiao Ran opened his eyes, what greeted his eyes was not the blue and clear sea water, but the deep green bottom. The sunlight refracted through the water surface and sprinkled mottled marks on his body, which made him feel very unreal.

——Is this the place after death?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, mermaids, even mermaids of mixed blood, still have to return to the water.

"Your Highness! You are awake!!!"

The sudden scream awakened Xiao Ran from his trance. It was ugly, hoarse, and difficult, and it was clearly the unique language of the mermaid clan.Although he didn't know why the incomparably beautiful language was so ugly to him, but the language imprinted in his soul would never be misheard.

So, what is this shriveled strange fellow in front of you?

The gray-green skin is dry and wrapped around the body, the eyes are as big as copper bells, and the fins grow backwards from the ears. The dark gray color is very ugly, making its face look a bit fierce.There is still a layer of transparent glue between the arms and the waist, and the lower body is a fishtail that is not gorgeous at all...

Fish tail? ... The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched, don't tell him this is also a mermaid!Don't tell him they are a race! !

"Your Highness! What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Or are you hungry and want to eat? Just tell me, Ruierwei will bring it to you immediately! There are delicious zebrafish, softtail fish, Silk algae...if you don't like it..." A certain eye suspected to be a mermaid radiated astonishing heat, hitting Xiao Ran dizzy with a lot of things he had never heard of.

And not far from the two fish, there is an extremely huge squid. When a certain one said a name, it stretched out an arm and handed it to Xiao Ran. After he shook his head, he retracted it in disappointment, and then continued to hand it. out next.

Seeing that a certain one still had a tendency to continue, Xiao Ran rubbed his sore brows, and stopped its promotion: "Are you a mermaid?"

"Oh, of course, my lord!" A certain one raised its head proudly, "We are shallow-water mermaids, a subordinate race of deep-sea mermaids. We usually live in rivers, lakes or near seas. Muggles usually call us sirens!"

"Muggle?" Xiao Ran muttered, this word is really strangely familiar, it seems to be a set of children's literature he read when he was living on land last year, magical creatures - especially wizards - are called ordinary people .

"Muggles are ordinary people without special abilities, Your Highness. I heard this name from the school by the lake. We used to call them aliens. Their upper body is the same as ours, but their lower body has two legs. Deformity..." The shallow water mermaid said angrily, but there was no disgust in her expression.

"What's the name of the school?"

"Hogwarts. A school dedicated to training young wizards."

it is as expected!Xiao Ran sighed, from the moment he saw the shallow water mermaid, he knew that he was no longer in that familiar world.

As a mixed mermaid, he is not qualified to take refuge in the land of mermaids, so how could he escape the doomsday?A monster as powerful as a deep-sea blood whale that has survived since ancient times has died in the shattering of space. How could he, a mermaid who is not yet an adult, survive?

That is to say, he, Xiao Ran, was very lucky to be blessed by the three officials at the moment before the world was shattered - crossed over!And even more fortunately, the world he traveled through is the three-dimensional world he is familiar with. According to the subordination theory of primary and secondary spaces, his strength will be greatly improved, and he will not be suppressed by the secondary space. I believe that as long as he does not slice his head and run to challenge Merlin , Personal safety is absolutely guaranteed!

very good!At least he doesn't want to die yet!

And this world interested him very much. The wizards in the main space were cleaned up by the Holy See as early as the Middle Ages. He was born in the early [-]th century and had never seen a wizard.Now in the book "Harry Potter", he can observe and observe the wizard well, and watch the live version of the movie by the way.

Xiao Ran quickly accepted the fact that he traveled through time, and was going to take a stroll around to see where he would live in the near future—if his memory had no problem, this lake was called Black Lake.

"I think I will live here in the near future, will I disturb you?" Xiao Ran smiled and said to the shallow water mermaid.

"No! It's great that Your Highness is willing to live here!" The shallow water mermaid's fins kept flapping, "I'm going to inform the clansmen to build a house for His Highness, and let Ruierwei accompany you to go shopping around. !Today is the start of Hogwarts, and the first-year little wizards will pass by the lake by boat..."

"Ruierwei?" Xiao Ran pointed to the squid, "Is it it?"

"Your Highness, Ruierwei is honored to serve you!" Squid said excitedly, shaking its arms and legs. Although it was not of the mermaid family, the energy contained in Xiao Ran's blood was still willing to convince him.

Xiao Ran nodded, and wanted to get up, but there was a sharp pain when his tail rubbed against the bottom of the lake. Xiao Ran looked at it, and there was a hand-long wound behind his fish tail, which was still tender and white after all these years.Because the wound was under the pressure before, no one noticed it. As soon as the shallow water mermaid saw Xiao Ran's wound, she immediately screamed: "His Highness is actually injured! Oh! Let Libo go get His Highness the medicine!"

"No need," Xiao Ran checked carefully, and stopped, "This wound has to wait for it to heal naturally, you go and do your work, I'll go to the lake to have a look."

The healing ability of mermaids is very strong, and the ability to not heal for decades can only show that the wound is extraordinary.Xiao Ran remembered the last glimpse in the main space, the space crack that swept towards him, and he could clearly feel a huge energy in the wound preventing it from healing, presumably this is the energy of the space.

This is not only harmless to him now, but very beneficial.

——Space energy is a great supplement for any creature, if he can absorb this energy, his strength can be improved by at least one layer!As a price, he only needs to stay in the lake until the wound heals!This is normal for mermaids, because they have been in the water all their lives. Even though he inherited his father's ability to split his legs and walk on land freely as a mixed blood, in this very safe world, he still I am willing to stay in the Black Lake, and see if I can watch the development of the plot live by the way...

Xiao Ran persuaded Libo, the shallow water mermaid, to swim to the surface with Ruierwei.

It is getting late now, and the setting sun only leaves a red mark in the distant sky, which forms a huge contrast with the dark blue sky. The thousand-year-old castle of Hogwarts is brightly lit, and the false shadow reflected in the lake water and the real body by the lake They complement each other beautifully.

When Rui Erwei and Xiao Ran surfaced, a gradually approaching light could already be seen in the woods on the shore.

"That's the gatekeeper of Hogwarts - Rubeus Hagrid, who has been leading the new students in recent years," Rielway said affectionately, "Hogwarts was originally a very good school, But after the new principal took office, it became a mess, and even the magical creatures in our black lake couldn't stand it."

Now that Hagrid has become a caretaker, it means that this is during Dumbledore's reign.Although he didn't know whether it was the pro-era or the child-era, Xiao Ran was already very satisfied.

For Dumbledore, I believe that everyone who has read "Harry Potter" has extremely complicated emotions for this old man.Dumbledore is a knowledgeable and powerful old man. The scene where he fights Voldemort is very exciting. Everyone will worship the strong, let alone the wizarding world where strength is paramount.Dumbledore is a person who gave up everything for righteousness, even if this righteousness is just his self-righteous opinion, even if he ignores the wishes of all the people under his calculations, but it is undeniable that Dumbledore's calculations played an important role in the final victory. play a role that cannot be ignored.

But for this final victory, Dumbledore implicated too many people, such as the extremely innocent Harry Potter. Who can say that he will become pampered after he really lives like a little prince?But for this one-in-a-million possibility, Dumbledore sent the baby Harry who was still in his infancy to suffer. How innocent is little Harry?

There is also Severus Snape, a man who has lived a miserable life. In order to let him protect little Harry, Dumbledore sprinkled salt on his wounds time and time again, and even in the end, in order to let Snape into the food Dead Apostle inside, and let him kill himself.As Snape said, "What about his soul?" How innocent was Snape?He was only loyal to the person he should be loyal to, and not only gave his youth, but even his whole life for his mistakes!But in the end, who knows his greatness except little Harry?

To Dumbledore, Xiao Ran was complicated, but to Snape, his senses were simple.

Although Snape's greasy and gloomy appearance did not conform to his aesthetics, his true feelings were enough to move Xiao Ran.There are many true feelings in the world, but there are very few unforgettable ones. Sometimes Xiao Ran wonders, if his father could be like Snape, would his life be different?Will he grow up happily like other young fish under the care of his parents?

Unfortunately, all this is just a dream!

His father was unfeeling and unloving, and his mother was romantic and irresponsible, so he could only grow up alone...

It is precisely because of this that he has a good impression of Snape. Xiao Ran looked at the approaching boat and smiled slightly - if conditions permit, he is willing to help Snape to get or get rid of it. true love!

3. The welcome ceremony of Ruierwei

Rierwei exposed his head on the water, and Xiao Ran sat on it, ready to watch the ceremony of crossing the lake up close.

According to Rielway, the entire Hogwarts and the defensive barriers in the surrounding area are powered by the magical power inadvertently emitted by the little wizards in Hogwarts.In other words, the more little wizards there are, the stronger the defensive barrier of Hogwarts will be, so the creatures in the Black Lake welcome every batch of little wizards very much, and they will hold a welcome ceremony for the little wizards when they enter school. ceremony.

The welcome ceremony of each race is different, and the mermaids present their most beautiful songs.

It's just that the singing of the mermaid in the Black Lake can only be heard in the water, so the little wizard will not know that they have been blessed by the mermaid when they entered school.

"There are fewer and fewer little wizards now, similar to the chaotic period a thousand years ago. There are not too few little wizards from the Muggle world, but the number of descendants of the wizarding world is still getting smaller and smaller. They are all from Dumbledore. The smelly old man encourages war, so that a group of young wizards don't get married and only think about fighting, don't they know that there is a saying in the East, which is called 'It is not filial to have no descendants'?"

Rui Erwei waved his arms and legs angrily, causing waves of waves, Xiao Ran pursed his lips and smiled, but did not correct him "there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest", but quietly watched the boat that was getting closer and closer.

The one sitting in the first boat holding a lamp was naturally the half-giant Hagrid, and his size should not be underestimated even if he was sitting. At least the Yao Ming he saw in his previous life was just a floating cloud.Followed by more than a dozen small boats, all young wizards wearing wizard robes looking around, the four people on one of the boats are particularly eye-catching.

As for the reason, just look at the quiet little wizards on the other boats, and look at the two of them who are obviously unwilling to stay for a moment.

"Oh! This is where we're going to live for seven years! Sirius, you're going to Gryffindor with me, aren't you?"

"Of course, my brother!"

"But," a very short little wizard sitting on the side said weakly, "Sirius, aren't you from the Black family? If you enter Gryffindor, what will happen to your family?"

"Who cares about them?!" Sirius waved his fist in anger, and said, "I don't want to be like them, kneeling in front of that man and kissing the corner of his robe! You don't know, they are all crazy..."

"You don't need that kind of family, buddy!" James patted Sirius on the shoulder, telling him not to get too excited, "When we arrive in Gryffindor, we have the greatest wizard Dumbledore as our headmaster, that evil man Or the Black family dare not do anything to you."

"That's true, but what if the goddess in your heart can't go to Gryffindor?"

"How is it possible? Gryffindor is the best academy! And my Lily is warm, cheerful, generous and smart, Gryffindor is the best place for her, isn't it?!"

James quickly retorted, but couldn't help turning his head to look at another small boat not far from them, angrily seeing the goddess in his mind smiling and talking to that greasy, dirty snot-nosed man, and even more so. What made him angry was that the snot-nosed man still ignored him, it was so hateful!

"That damned snot! How could Lily treat him so well? No, I want Lily to see the evil nature of that snot!" James twisted his face with jealousy, and regardless of Hagrid's reminder before, he put his hand in Heihuli poked vigorously, as if he was poking the guy who was in the blessing and didn't know the blessing.

Lily and Severus heard the movement here and looked over, but they received James looking at them viciously. Lily stared back angrily, her face puffed up like a pink bun, while Severus just After glancing at him coldly, he ignored him and continued to turn his head to look at Lily.

While the two of them were staring at each other, Xiao Ran who was not far away smiled playfully and murmured: "It's really a fate, I just happened to meet... Ruierwei, let that little girl who disturbs the peace of the Black Lake at will be so happy." Guys know the rules."

Xiao Ran doesn't like James very much. When a person is 11 years old, he can be so arrogant and mischievous, because he is a child and deserves to be forgiven, but at the age of 15, he can still humiliate people in public. It is not a question of whether he can be forgiven. up.

A 15-year-old is no longer a child. There is no excuse for innocence. When you peel it off, it is full of the ugly nature of the human heart. Only Dumbledore will believe that James Potter is an innocent child, and his humiliation is just a child. Playing around.

Dumbledore's eccentricity is normal, because he is also a person, wouldn't even Professor McGonagall, who is known for his fairness, be eccentric?It's just that, because of Dumbledore's eccentricity, the robbery group of four became even more insane, from the domineering in the first grade, to the almost killing of Severus under the wolf's kiss in the fourth grade, to the insult in the fifth grade...

If Dumbledore can control a little, then maybe they won't go further and further down the road of lawlessness, after all, they are just children now.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Xiao Ran is also very jealous of James, because his innocence and unscrupulousness all prove his happiness.Only a spoiled child can do this, and he, a half-breed mermaid who has struggled to survive in the open sea since he was a child, has never experienced the feeling of being pampered.

Xiao Ran was thinking about his own affairs in a daze, and Rielway was also excitedly executing his instructions. When James stretched his hand into the lake again to splash water on Sirius to play around, Rielway also secretly stretched out his arms to the boat Down, all of a sudden overturned the boat.

The little wizards exclaimed, but the boat couldn't stop due to magic, and could only watch the four of them fall into the water.Hearing the abnormal voice, Hagrid turned his head and looked, his beetle-like eyes widened and he shouted, "Oh! Merlin...you go ahead to the castle, and if you see the professors, tell them to come over quickly, you understand?"

After instructing the little wizards, Hagrid commanded the boat to row to the side of the four little wizards, and told them to get on the boat quickly: "Come on, grab my hand, poor children, it's still so cold in the lake for so long!" After a long time, I will send you to the infirmary when we arrive at the castle."

The four of them were shivering from the cold. Seeing the savior coming, they immediately wanted to climb up. Hagrid took out a pink umbrella from his coat and cast a floating spell on the boat to prevent it from being crushed by the heavy weight. .

Because James was playing in the water beside the boat at that time, he was the one who was thrown the farthest. The other three had already climbed into the boat. Just as he was about to get up, his feet were caught by something, and before he had time to react Before being dragged into the icy lake again...

"Merlin! What's going on?" Hagrid covered his mouth and shouted, and then wanted to jump into the lake to save James.

The next second, a huge arm stretched out from the lake, and threw something into the sky, only to hear a scream of "ah--", a humanoid object was thrown into the sky, fell down and was caught Catch it with your arms and legs, and then throw it into the sky.

"It's James! What should I do?" Sirius fired a few spells such as "All petrified, fast imprisoned" at the wrists and feet on the boat, but it didn't have any effect on the wrists and feet, so he could only scratch his head and don't know what to do.

"It's Rielway! Rielway, put James down, you'll scare him!" Hagrid yelled for a while, Rielway still didn't respond, so he could only ask Sirius, "Did you stretch out your hands just now?" Into the lake? Rierwei is a very cute child, and he would never take the initiative to attack a little wizard."

"We were just playing with the water! We didn't do anything to that damned big squid!" Sirius argued, "Put James down, you ugly squid! Otherwise, when Headmaster Dumbledore comes, he won't be spared." Pass yours!"

"Mr. Black, I think we're going to be kinder to magical creatures, aren't we?"

A colorful figure appeared out of thin air beside the boat, with a robe covered with stars of various colors, a snow-white beard tied loosely in the middle with a bow with bells, and a hat like a nightcap on his head, Behind the half-moon glasses are a pair of beautiful blue eyes, making him look gentle and loving.

"Principal Dumbledore!" Hagrid and the three young wizards shouted in unison. As the most famous white wizard of the contemporary era, Dumbledore's image has long been attached to the chocolate frog's card, so even those who have not yet entered the school The little wizard in the house also recognizes this respected old man.

"Hi, gentlemen," Dumbledore said, winking at them, "Leave the rest to me, Hagrid, take the gentlemen into Hogwarts first."

"But, principal, my friend is in danger, I can't leave him behind!" Sirius jumped out quickly.

"Amazing friendship, Mr. Black, (Sirius excitedly asked Dumbledore to call him Sirius) Well, Sirius, nothing will happen to your friend, listen..."

Several people looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, and listened carefully, only to hear that the guy who was thrown up and down in mid-air not only did not scream in fright, but kept cheering: "Oh~~It's so refreshing! ! Throw it higher!"

"This..." Several people suddenly felt like a dark cloud was overwhelming. When they were worried about James' safety, that guy actually enjoyed his "extreme sports" in mid-air?

"It seems that Rielway is only welcoming you in its unique way. You must know that every entrance ceremony is the happiest time for the magical creatures in the Black Lake."

"But it capsized our boat!"

"But James had a good time, didn't he?" Dumbledore continued to blink, making him look like an old urchin. "Besides, a bottle of potion can solve all problems, and you won't catch a cold."

Sirius still wanted to say something, but he flinched when he heard the potion. It seems that the deterrent effect of the potion is much greater than that of the giant squid.Only Remus smiled gently: "Yes, then please trouble Principal Dumbledore. I don't think James would want to miss the sorting ceremony."

"Yes yes, of course, it was the most important moment of my life."

Dumbledore was also deeply aware of it, and asked Hagrid to send the three young wizards into the castle. After carefully observing the surroundings, he finally saw a silver-white light in a place where the castle's light could not reach.

4. Entrance Ceremony

Of course Dumbledore was looking for where Rielway's head was. The size of the giant squid is so huge that sometimes it would lie on its arms and legs by the lake to bask in the sun, while its body would sleep in the cave in the center of the Black Lake. However, every year this Sometimes, Ruierwei will float on the water.

Seeing the silver-white flash, Dumbledore floated over there, and Rielway found it, along with a mermaid that he had never seen before.

"Mr. Mermaid, Ye An, sorry to disturb you."

Dumbledore has stayed in Hogwarts Castle for more than 100 years, his home is here, he loves every land of Hogwarts, the magical creatures of the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake for the sake of the Hogwarts contract Almost all of them know each other, and even those who don't know have heard of it, but they have never heard of a mermaid from the deep sea realm.

"Principal Dumbledore, I've heard about the name for a long time, I don't know how I can help you?" Xiao Ran came back to his senses because of Dumbledore's approach, and looked at this person who was said to be the oldest person except the four founders since the school was founded. An excellent principal—although the level of appreciation is a bit weird, he is unexpectedly suitable for him. Like the legendary Santa Claus, he is kind and amiable. No wonder he is liked by so many people.

Rielway snorted coldly.

"Of course, thank you. Can you ask Rielway to put James down, although I'm glad Rielway likes James and James looks happy, but the entrance ceremony is about to start, I think, missing the sorting ceremony is He didn't want it."

"I don't like that brat!!" Rui Erwei shouted, waving his wrists and feet.

The giant squid itself has no language, but Ruierwei has always been friends with mermaids, so they always use the mermaid language, and Dumbledore happens to know the language of the mermaids, so he nodded lovingly and said: "Okay, Ruierwei I don't like James, so can I take him into the castle?" The last sentence was asked by Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran nodded with a smile, and Rielway threw James into Dumbledore's arms, muttering all the time: "Wizards are the most annoying, a kid over 100 years old, actually put Rielway on me. Treat it like a child... I hate it, I hate it..."

Patting Rielway with his tail to comfort the big man, Xiao Ran said to Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, I'm afraid I have to live in the Black Lake for a while, you don't mind?"

"Of course! Of course! You must know that the deep-sea mermaid is a legendary creature to us. If you let the little wizard in the castle know you, you will be very happy." Dumbledore nodded happily. Anyway, once the magical creature enters Hoag Within Watts' enchantment, it will be affected by the contract and cannot harm any little wizard.

Until Dumbledore spoke, James, who was still in agitation in his arms, finally woke up. Seeing himself being hugged by Dumbledore in a princess hug, he couldn't help flushing with shame, and said: "Principal Dumbledore , sorry, but can you let me go?"

"I don't think so, James," Dumbledore winked at him, "we're on the Black Lake now, if you
