HP Dark Lord save the world

Chapter 162 The Mermaid and the Song

"!"

what is this!
Itana suddenly opened her eyes wide, and pulled out the wand from under the pillow with her backhand and pinched it in her hand. The familiar texture of black walnut in the palm of her hand gave her a sense of security. After a brief shock, Itana's brain began to function.

These things just stand there and don't move.If they were already floating there before Emma found out, at least it meant that they would not attack for a short time.

"When did you wake up?" Itana quickly asked in a low voice, wanting to make sure that these things really won't attack in a short time.

"Just now, I wanted to go to the bathroom, and then I saw them." Emma's body was close to Itana, and half of her body had already lay on Itana's thin quilt.

"It's all your fault, tell them some scary stories in the middle of the night, and attract them!"

Emma tremblingly accused her, and Itana squinted at her, "What are you afraid of? Isn't it still through the glass?"

"Then what if they break the glass and come in!" Although Emma was still terrified, Itana's calm appearance gave her a little courage, "Let's get out quickly! Go and call the professors for help."

"Hey, you really are, if you don't sleep, you won't let others sleep, right? Where do you want me to find someone in the middle of the night?" Itana was dealing with Emma, ​​her pupils dilated, and she tried to use that A little light source out of nowhere discerns what is outside the window.

Those features that seem to be human at first glance, an almost oval head, something like hair floating in the water, the upper limbs are longer, but the lower limbs are not two separate legs but a long thing, it looks Looks like... a fishtail?
"Mermaid." Itana whispered the word.

When Emma asked her what she was looking at before, her answer was not nonsense. During the time she stared out of the window, she was really trying to see if she could see the mermaid here.

She also knew about the fact that there were mermaids in the Black Lake when she was reading the original book.

Just when she was thinking about why this group of mermaids from the Black Lake gathered here, a melodious singing came from outside the glass.

Those mermaids are singing.

The melody of this song was very familiar, it was the song she had heard once before, and she sang it just now to lull Emma to sleep.

After singing, those mermaids were swimming slowly outside the window, as if they were waiting for something.

That song came from the song that Itana and Danlin had heard in the forest inhabited by those four-eyed people when they traveled for the first time in the summer vacation. She couldn’t understand the lyrics, but she remembered the melody and Pronunciation of lyrics.

The mermaids didn't seem to wait for the desired response and left.

Only then did Emma relax, "My God, what the hell are those?" she asked.

"Obviously, it's a mermaid." Itana answered absent-mindedly, pulling the quilt that was pressed by her.

"There are still mermaids in the Black Lake." It was really the first time Emma heard about it.

"I told you a long time ago, it's just that you don't believe it. Well, now there is nothing watching you outside, go to sleep."

Itana violently pulled out the quilt that was pressed by her, covered her body, turned her back to Emma and lay down, as if preparing to sleep.

"Hey! This is a mermaid, why are you so cold? That's a mermaid!" Emma's fear faded away, and excitement took over the high ground of reason.

"Go to bed, I have class tomorrow, I don't have time to mess with you." Itana was unmoved.

Emma went back to bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, her mind was full of fantasies about mermaids.

After two or three minutes, Emma suddenly said:

"What do you think they look like? Is there a male among the mermaids?"

Itana ignored her.

"Will they turn into bubbles when they die?"

Itana pulled the quilt over her ears.

"Do you think they can wear clothes?"

Itana opened her eyes.

"Did you know? There is a shadow that picks people who are not asleep at night..." Itana said quietly.

Emma froze, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, stop talking, go to sleep."

……

"Mermaid?" Tom tilted his head in doubt.

During the class break, Itana and Tom briefly talked about what happened to them last night, and Tom was amazed.

"Didn't we just go to that ruin during our summer vacation? You met a mermaid now, maybe it's fate." Tom made a joke, and then said seriously: "Do you have any clues?"

"I'm going to ask Professor Dumbledore." Itana said frankly.

When it comes to understanding mermaids, there should be no one in Hogwarts better than him, he can speak mermaid language.

"Are you sure?" Tom raised his eyebrows in a playful tone.

Dumbledore has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and it is not certain whether he is willing to speak out. In Tom's view, looking for Dumbledore can only provide information to others, but he will not get any benefits back.

"You can also write a letter to Danlin. He knows something about the fish god, so he may know something about the mermaid. Here, my letter has been written, please give it to Goya for me."

"Then are you going to go?" Tom asked with a smile as he took the letter from Itana.

"Professor Dumbledore's office, since you know it, why are you asking?" Itana pushed down her monocle, "The professor is back, let's go to class."

After class, Itana went straight to the floor where Dumbledore's office was located.

They didn't have Transfiguration class today, and the most direct way to see Dumbledore seemed to be to go to the office and wait for him.

"He should have no class at this time..." Itana thought, and then knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

A low and peaceful voice sounded in the room, and Itana pushed the door open and entered.

At the age of 58, his hair had already started to turn gray. Itana opened the door and saw him standing at the window looking out. The breeze outside the window was blowing his beard.

"Good morning, sir, what are you looking at?" Itana greeted her as usual, her attitude was as friendly as ever, as if the fact that she was almost tricked into facing the Mirror of Erised had never happened before.

"It's you, good morning, Itana, I don't seem to have your class today, what do you want me to do?"

Dumbledore was also kind and kind, looking at this junior with kind and interesting eyes.

"Sir, can you tell me about the mermaid?" Itana approached the office and closed the door smoothly.

"Oh? Mermaid, why do you want to know this all of a sudden?" Dumbledore blinked and looked at her amusedly.

"Most of the records about mermaids in the library are ambiguous. They simply classify them as magical creatures without any explanation. You seem to be more knowledgeable than those books."
