Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 926 Green Lody's Counterattack

   "Is this really all right?"

  The weeping Myrtle happily "swimmed" beside Albert. It would have been better if they hadn't been driven out of the village by the mermaid just now.

   "Thanks to Myrtle this time, I don't have to worry about getting lost in the second project."

  Albert is in a good mood, but his body is a bit cold, and the effect of the heat preservation spell is not very good. Logically speaking, if the lake freezes in winter, the temperature at the bottom of the lake should be around 4 degrees, which is not really high.

"You are welcome."

  Crying Myrtle giggled, and seemed to enjoy being thanked, especially if it was her type.

   Just as the three of them and one ghost were about to return to the lake, Albert felt something. Looking at the slightly warm detection bracelet on his left wrist, it seemed that some dark creature was approaching them?

  Grindylow?

  Albert squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at the dark and hazy lake below, and the jungle made of black and green water plants below gave him a feeling of depression.

   "What's wrong?"

   Myrtle noticed Albert's movement of turning his head, followed his gaze, and asked in confusion.

   Albert took out his wand and waved it lightly. A ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand and suddenly bloomed under the bottom of the lake, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

  After seeing Albert's actions, Fred and George also realized that something was wrong, and pulled out their wands to be vigilant. They soon knew the reason.

   "What the hell!"

   "Damn it, did this stab Grindylow's nest?"

The two cursed in a low voice. Below them, a large number of Grindyllos surged out from the lush aquatic jungle below, chasing them madly. Fred and George, who were originally behind, were quickly caught by this The group of Grindylows got entangled.

   Those guys were not weak, grabbing their legs and pulling the Weasley twins down.

The two had to hold the underwater booster with one hand, and wave the wand with the other to try to drive away Grindylo, and even kicked and kicked, trying to get rid of the surrounding Grindylow, but the effect was not very good. There were too many of them, and when one was repelled, a large group rushed towards them, and the Weasley brothers, who had no experience in underwater combat, were in a hurry.

Looking at the Weasley twins in a hurry, Albert was a little depressed, because he found that the amulet made of the guardian tree had no effect on the group of Grindylows at all, otherwise Fred and George who carried the amulet would not have been affected by Grindylow at all. Dillo's attack.

   But yes, if the amulet is really useful, it would have already become a panel skill.

  The group of Grindylows would naturally not let Albert go just like this, but most of the firepower was attracted by Fred and George, and the number of Grindylows who rushed towards Albert was relatively small.

  Grindyllos are not dangerous. They are even classified as harmless by the Ministry of Magic. As long as they are dealt with calmly and properly, they will not cause any trouble to wizards.

  Albert swung his wand and tried to use the stun spell to knock down Grindylow, but he soon found that what he launched was a galloping water column. After the water column concentrated on Grindylo, he quickly stunned him.

Undoubtedly, the stun spell is not suitable for underwater combat, at least not suitable for dealing with large groups of Grindylos, but the situation is urgent, and Albert has no time to think about which spell is more suitable for dealing with Grindylows. Chanting various spells, knocked down all the Grindylos around him.

  Most spells have the same effect underwater, a bit like a bullet, which will form a water column after use, and the underwater power will be weaker, but the obstacle spell gave Albert an unexpected surprise.

  When this spell is used underwater, it will set off a small wave of water shock, which is not powerful, but it can repel the enemy.

After confirming the effect of the Obstacle Curse, Albert immediately used it on Fred and George who were surrounded by Grindylow. While the water wave rushed them away for a certain distance, it also rushed Grindylow around them. Basu.

   Myrtle, who saw Albert fighting against a group of green-skinned water monsters, looked very excited, and actually cheered them on.

   Albert didn't dare to be distracted, and waved his wand again, conjured up ropes to bind Fred and George, and pulled back the twin brothers who had been affected by the Obstructing Curse.

The defeated Grindylow quickly gathered again and rushed towards the three of them, but Albert didn't give them a chance. He waved his wand lightly, disturbing the lake water to create a swirl, which would rush towards them. The Grindylo group that came was all involved, and I don't know where they rushed the group of guys.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, lest those nasty Grindylows come after us again!" Albert pulled them to the lake with a rope, otherwise after losing the underwater booster, Fred and George would think It was not easy to get out of the water as soon as possible. The speed of swimming alone was not enough, so he had to pull the two of them together so that the three of them could leave the Black Lake faster.

   "What happened just now, why did the group of green-skinned water monsters suddenly attack us." Myrtle couldn't help asking, patting her chest.

   "I don't know, let's go up and talk about it first."

  Albert suspected that this matter had something to do with the mermaid.

   Of course, he has no evidence.

   No, there is now.

   Albert glanced at the new task on the task panel:

  Grindylow's counterattack.

Mercus, the leader of the mermaids, agreed to Dumbledore's request to make Grindylow as much trouble as possible for the warriors trying to pass through the water plants. They will become one of the biggest obstacles for the warriors to save the hostages. No matter how many dills there are, they are just a group of miscellaneous fish.

  Reward: 1000 experience, acquired skill: water monster retreat spell.

   Did I step on the pit in advance?

  The corner of Albert's mouth twitched, but the Water Monster Scattering Curse came in a timely manner, but he didn't know if it would work.

   At this moment, a large black shadow suddenly appeared below, startling the three of them and the ghost. They could all feel that something was approaching quickly.

  The big squid living in the black lake is looking curiously at the three of Albert and the ghost with their big eyes.

Although they all know that the big squid in the Black Lake of Hogwarts is docile, and there are even rumors that some students went swimming in the lake accompanied by the big squid, but it is quite scary to meet the big squid underwater. It's really a different feeling to be escorted out of the lake by the big guys.

   After leaving the water, Fred couldn't help muttering: "This is definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life."

   "I feel like I can brag about this for years." George noticed that Lee Jordan was waving at them, and said again: "I dare say Lee Jordan must regret that he missed such an opportunity."

   "I'm leaving first, remember to visit me in the girls' bathroom on the second floor when you have time." Miss Phantom ran to Albert's side and left contentedly.

   "It seems that she really likes you." Fred and George reminded with a smile, "You have to be careful, maybe she will run to make trouble when you get married."

   "Shut up, or I won't invite you when I get married."

   "Wow, when are you getting married?"

   "Did you dive into the bottom of the lake just now?"

  Krum's voice sounded not far away, he seemed to be swimming in winter.

   "Yes, there is a mermaid village under the water, but outsiders are not very welcome." Albert did not hide it, "Maybe you can try it, the scenery there is good."

   "I've been in the water before, and there are many Grindylows at the bottom of the lake." Krum raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the two helpers beside Albert. "Especially in those water grasses, you will often encounter Grindylow, which is very troublesome. Moreover, I haven't found the mermaid village you mentioned."

  Krum’s tone sounded a bit gritted. Although he didn’t say what happened after he met Grindylow, it obviously wouldn’t be a good thing.

   "The small mermaid village is hidden in the aquatic jungle, and you can only distinguish it when you get close." Albert said with a smile, "You have to be patient and look in the aquatic jungle."

   "The Bubble Curse won't last that long, and Grindylow is a problem." Krum was curious about how Albert found the mermaid village the first time he went down to the lake.

   "Let's go ashore first, I'm actually quite afraid of the cold?" Albert swam towards the shore of the lake.

When Lee Jordan saw a few people coming ashore, he immediately pulled out his wand and greeted them. He helped them dispel the water and chill from their bodies. He also noticed the wounds on Fred and George, frowned and asked, "You are under attack." gone."

"When we were leaving, a large group of Grindylows attacked us crazily." Fred put on a thick cloak, took the potion handed over by Lee Jordan and poured it into his mouth. The potion tasted terrible. It was hot to drink, and a lot of heat came out of his ears, like a boiling kettle.

Krum looked at the busy four people, and suddenly understood why Albert was able to find the mermaid village all at once. The other party was prepared from the beginning, looking for the location of the village purposefully, instead of trying to touch it like him. luck.

   "Krum, do you want it?" Albert handed the last glass to Krum who came ashore later, and introduced, "It can avoid catching a cold after staying in the water for too long."

   "Oh, thank you, I don't need it." Krum shook his head and refused. He was using his wand to remove the water stains on his body, and looked curiously at the suit on the three of them, which was obviously specially made.

   "Have you found the mermaid's village?"

   "We found it, but their village is hidden in the aquatic jungle. I suspect that the group of Grindyloos who attacked us last was related to mermaids."

"how do you know?"

   "Those mermaids will domesticate Grindylow."

  George took off his clothes, began to clean the wound with medicine, and dripped white fresh essence by the way, and the wound soon showed signs of healing.

   "Can this guy prepare a little more?"

  Krum watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and couldn't help complaining.

"Grindylow should be the obstacle that the school prepares for the warriors. Although Grindylow is not a dangerous dark creature, if it is deep in the bottom of the lake." Albert took the steaming teacup and said calmly, "It could turn over if you're not careful, especially if you're unsuspecting and being hit by a lot of Grindylow."

   "I'm going to change it. The Bubble Curse won't last an hour."

  Krum hesitated for a moment, but still took the fragrant milk tea from Albert, took a sip and continued, "Besides, the swimming speed is too slow, and our physical fitness can't last then."

   "You went into the water without any preparation?"

  Albert suddenly understood why Krum didn't find the mermaid village. He felt that he never went deep into the bottom of the lake, or he didn't dare to take that risk.

   Krum was a little depressed, but he still nodded noncommittally.

   "You are amazing." Albert said with emotion.

   "Is the mermaid village deep at the bottom of the lake?" Krum asked, although it sounded redundant, it was undoubtedly the result.

   It is actually very difficult to go deep into the bottom of the lake if only relying on the Bubble Curse. Krum also thought of other ways, but he didn't put them into action.

   Well, Krum is actually trying to practice Transfiguration, even though he's not really that good at Transfiguration.

  After separating from Krum, several of them returned to the castle together.

   On the way, Fred and George have been telling Lee Jordan about their great adventure in the Black Lake, and they also talked about the thrilling scene of their final battle against a large group of Grindylows.

"Ahem, although Grindylow's aggressiveness is very strong, its lethality is not strong, otherwise it would not be classified as:." Albert couldn't listen anymore, and explained with a light cough, " They usually drag the victim into the water, causing them to panic and drown in the water, and it is not difficult to deal with them..."

   "No, I think those Grindylows are difficult to deal with, at least in the water."

  If it wasn't for being attacked in the water, Fred and George wouldn't be in such a mess.

   "If you can deal with it calmly, there will definitely be no problem."

   "I don't think anyone can calm down in that situation. Those guys' mouths still hurt to bite people." Fred muttered.

   "Do you want to check with Madam Pomfrey again?" Albert asked. Although the wound has been carefully treated, they are not professionals after all.

   Without waiting for the Weasley brothers to object, Albert took them to the school hospital and asked Madam Pomfrey to examine them both.

   "They are fine, you should check it too!" Madam Pomfrey said,

   "I'll let it go, and I'm not hurt." Albert declined.

"No, no, you are a warrior, how can you not pay attention to your health, and you will participate in the second event after a while." Special refused.

  Finally, Albert was forced to undergo an examination, and only after making sure he was in good health did he leave the school hospital.

   When the four walked out of the school hospital together, they almost bumped into Hermione in the corridor outside.

   "What are you?" Albert looked at Hermione suspiciously.

   "Winky seems to be sick, I'll ask Madam Pomfrey if she can treat it." Hermione hurried into the school hospital.

   Grindylow.

   The title cannot be changed. The last two chapters have been changed.
