The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts

Linde huddled himself in his robes and walked quietly behind Jane.

Whenever Jane stood a little closer to him, she could hear Linde's thumping heartbeat.

"Jane!"

Hermione's voice suddenly came from behind them. Then Linde heard hurried footsteps from behind.

He turned his head and saw Hermione jogging over, which frightened him so much that he quickly dodged to the side.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you." Hermione didn't expect Linde to take the initiative to let her go. According to this person's temper, isn't it always others who let him go?

She turned her head and glanced at Linde in confusion. Then she ran straight to Jane.

"Where have you been?" Hermione took Jane's hand freely. "I've been looking for you for a long time. Madam Pince persuaded me to come out of the library a few minutes after you left."

"As soon as I came out, you disappeared. I thought you went back to the lounge directly, but I didn't see you in the lounge." Hermione said naggingly.

"I..." Jane was about to reply, but Linde also spoke up.

"Jane! I suddenly remembered that I have something to do." Linde's voice was very heavy, as if he was enduring some pain.

"You go back first, oh, by the way, give me the book..." Linde was about to stretch out his hand in his pocket, and suddenly thought of something, and gestured with his fingers in his pocket.

Sure enough, the paw pad also came out.

"Give it to it!" Linde gestured to Andersen. Andersen rolled his purple eyes on the side.

Although it didn't know what happened, it was what its boss said.

It flapped its wings and flew in front of Jane, motioning Jane to give it the book. Linde looked at Andersen and suddenly thought of the sky bird in the story.

To be honest, the plot of this story is really not good, but every time Linde thought of it, he would have an unexplained palpitation and fear.

Jane looked at Linde in confusion, making sure he was not joking.

"I really have something to do." Linde looked at her puzzled expression and could only emphasize it again.

"Curfew is coming soon, what else can you do!" Hermione looked at Linde.

Lind looked at Hermione, thinking: What does this have to do with you? Are you going to say "You will lose points for Gryffindor if you do this?"

Okay! He admitted that this was what Hermione would say in the first grade. After all, Harry and Ron's several night outings after getting the invisible cloak were strongly opposed by Hermione.

But what does this have to do with me? I'm very annoyed now. Lind felt the sweater rubbing against his gills, and he couldn't just show it off.

But he was not the kind of person who would lose his temper at others.

"I just have some..." Lind was interrupted by Hermione before he finished speaking.

"If you have anything, we can help." Hermione looked at him seriously.

Lind was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hermione to say such a thing.

His words were also blocked at the corner of his mouth. Hermione's words made him lose his temper. He could only shake his head and refuse her. Then he looked at the book in Jane's chest.

Jane handed the book over, and Andersen's claws grabbed the spine of the book and flew back to Linde.

He pulled his hand out and hid the book back in his sleeves.

"I'm leaving first!" After saying that, he hurried to the other side.

He wore a hood and hid himself in the darkness along the way.

"He's so weird! What did you do before?" Seeing Linde walking away, Hermione asked curiously.

"I don't know why he is like this. We just... just read the same book together." Jane recalled what happened just now. She remembered that Linde was a little weird since she closed the book.

"Read a book together? The one just now? How can you read such a small book together? Read it face to face?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and her tone became teasing. She deliberately tilted her eyes and looked at Jane.

"What? No." Jane blushed, but when she thought about the fact that there seemed to be only a wand between the two of them just now, it was Linde who released the fluorescent spell.

My face seemed to be leaning against his hand all the time, and it seemed that I almost put my head on it later.

Thinking of this, she suddenly blushed.

But I can't blame her. That novel is full of typos, scars and large-scale corrections. It's tiring to read it.

She couldn't understand how Lind could read it with relish.

—————————

As soon as he turned the corner, Lind hurriedly found an empty classroom and walked in, then leaned against the door to hold it.

Only then could he feel a little relaxed. Before, he only felt that people passing by looked at him strangely outside.

Lind took off his hood, threw the book on the table casually, and pulled down the collar of his sweater to feel a little more comfortable.

"Fortunately, I have a lot of long hair." He murmured in a low voice, touching his ears with his right hand.

His ears were completely different from normal ones. There were sharp bone spurs growing on the outer ear helix, and a thin membrane was connected in the middle of the bone spurs.

Lind locked the classroom door and searched on the podium.

Luckily, he found a mirror.

"Fluorescent flash!"

The tip of the stick lit up white light, and he picked up the mirror with his other hand to look at his ears.

He saw that his ears were no longer human ears, but had turned into fish fins.

"Alas! Fortunately, it's long hair, otherwise Jane would have noticed it just now." When he found his gills coming out, he felt something strange in his ears, which was why he put on the hood.

Linde sighed helplessly, then put the mirror down and looked at the book he had just thrown on the table.

"Is it just reading a story and then uncontrollably 'transformed'! Or is there another reason?" Linde wondered why the book had such an effect on him.

"Stop the spell!" Linde waved his wand at the book to release the spell, but nothing strange appeared.

"Is there no magic attached to it or is it because my spell is not powerful enough." Linde looked solemnly at the little blue book lying quietly on the table.

"And why is it that only I have this unconscious change, but Jane doesn't?" The reason why he took the book from Jane was that he was afraid that the book would be borrowed and some tragedies that no one wanted to see would happen.

"Is it targeting any 'non-human'? Or maybe it's just targeting 'fishmen'.

On the other hand, I just grew gills and other things uncontrollably, which is not a bad thing.

Or is it because it is only useful for 'fishmen'?" Lind was thinking about various possibilities in his mind. Finally, as he focused his attention in his mind, his gills, webbed feet, and fin ears gradually returned to the form of a normal person.

During the period when his body was gradually recovering, he thought of many blind spots.

Maybe his changes have nothing to do with this book. It may be a manifestation of 'adolescence of hybrid fishmen', just like he grew ear fins again this time.

Or maybe his 'transformation' is related to emotions. He was shocked after reading that article, so he unconsciously became a half-fishman.

Or maybe he became more sensitive, which may be related to the humidity of the air.

He sorted out all the possibilities of his transformation into a half-merman.

Seeing that he returned to his normal human state, he carefully picked up the book again and pushed open the door of the classroom.

I have to go to the Room of Requirement tonight to test my body.

Along the way, he always felt that there was something he hadn't noticed, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.

"I guess I'm just overthinking it." Lind could only comfort himself in the end.

"After all, as a half-fishman, it's normal for me to have many strange things on my body."

He was inexplicably certain that he was a mixed-blood orphan of human and fishman.
