HP Dark Lord save the world

Chapter 171
The fact that there were mermaids living in the black lake surrounding Hogwarts spread throughout the school in less than half an hour. Many people relished what they saw, attracting those students who for various reasons did not have time to see that scene to gather around and talk.

Although everyone has heard of mermaids, and they are different from ordinary people, they really know their existence, but they are creatures in the water after all, and there is not much overlap with them walking on land.

Over the years, coupled with the exaggeration of various wizarding literary works, the mermaid also has a very high degree of topic discussion.

This mysterious creature is not something that can be seen casually, second only to dragons and phoenixes.

Hogwarts Great Hall, dinner time.

"It's quite a mess." Itana listened to the endless narration of the students around her, calmly took a sip of grape juice, and cut the steak on the plate with a knife and fork.

"Someone saw Dumbledore organizing these mermaids. They seem to be doing something, why don't you go and see?" Tom was sitting next to Itana, opposite Emma, ​​Abraxas and others, and at the moment he was using A voice that was only audible to the two of them was whispering.

"I've seen mermaids, much closer than them." Emma and a boy in Tom's dormitory said, with the corners of his mouth upturned and his head lifted slightly.

She had indeed been in close contact with a mermaid outside the bedroom window. She hadn't publicized it because of fear, but now seeing that Tom and the others seemed quite curious about it, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Yeah, you were so scared that you didn't dare to close your eyes afterwards." Itana looked at her with a smile, remembering how the girl trembled to the point where her voice changed, which was in stark contrast to now.

The demolished Emma's cheeks bulged, and she just wanted to argue a few words, but bumped into Itana's smiling dark blue eyes, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"So, when did you both meet the mermaid?" Abraxas became curious.

Itana smiled and said nothing, leaving the opportunity to express herself to Emma.

Abraxas didn't know why he was inexplicably frightened by Itana's expression, so he smiled sarcastically, and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Emma: "Would you like to tell us about it? What exactly is a mermaid like?"

Emma subconsciously glanced at Itana, seeing that she neither agreed nor disagreed with the steak, she sorted out her language and began to talk about the night she found the mermaid.

After all, she experienced it personally, and the details were different from those who started to talk about it after a glance from a distance. The extremely true description quickly attracted other people on the long Slytherin table.

More and more people gathered here. Some people thought that there were so many people gathered here, and they came here. Before they knew it, Emma was surrounded by a group of people from different grades.

"No, the mermaid I saw didn't look like this. You didn't make it up to attract people's attention, did you?"

Some people saw that Emma was stealing the limelight at this moment when she was young, and they were quite unconvinced and questioned her aloud, with an aggressive attitude.

Emma is not the kind of person who can be bullied. When she sees someone questioning herself, and questioning the authenticity of what she sees for no reason, her temper immediately rises.

"What did you see? After glancing at it from a distance of several hundred meters, you feel that you have seen everything? Then you tell me what the mermaid looks like?" She mocked, squinting at the other party, disdainful looked back.

Emma's parents are self-made Muggle-born wizards. Since she was a child, she has been a star in the wizarding world and the Muggle world. When facing people, she naturally doesn't know how to write counseling at all.

As a first-year freshman who just entered school, she literally wrote the word arrogant on her forehead.

"Then how do you prove that what you said is right? Anyway, when I saw the mermaid, there were a lot of people beside me. They can all testify for me. What about you?" The boy who seemed to be in the fourth grade looked around. , Several people immediately responded to his words.

"Yeah, we all saw it together at the time, isn't it more believable than yours?" Even though I feel that what Emma said is very true, of course I chose to help my friend at this time.

Emma immediately turned her head to look at Itana, and saw that she was sitting there peacefully, the grape juice in her hand had been replaced with orange juice, and she was looking at the glass in her hand with a leisurely expression, as if a big drama was going on in it. Don't care about the dispute here.

She wanted to look at Tom, Abraxas and the others who had been familiar with her for a while, but was stopped by the fifth grade student who made trouble:

"What are you looking around for? Do you want someone to help you compose words?" The man became proud: "Nowadays, children really use everything to become famous..."

He concluded the coffin, and then pretended to be someone who had been here before, and educated him: "What you have to do now is to study with peace of mind and don't be distracted by these chores. I understand your thoughts very well. After all Who didn't come here in the first place."

Emma's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, "What I said is the truth!"

"But who can prove it for you?" The man opened his eyes wide, looking confused.

Tom pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Itana, and lowered his eyes.

Other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

"Ah? Fake..."

"What you say is the same as the truth. This is also a skill."

"I think he did it on purpose..."

"So what, let's see how this freshman plans to solve it."

All kinds of words came to her ears, and Emma clenched her fists. This feeling like an animal being surrounded by people made her quite uncomfortable. She felt that she was separated from the same kind by these people, isolated and helpless, It is in stark contrast to the previous ten years of life.

For some reason, a wave of anger welled up in her heart.

"I swear by my surname that what I say is the truth, you are the tell-tale clown!" Emma took out her wand, wishing to hang this person who made trouble for her for no reason and embarrass herself for three days and three days. night until he kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Hmph." The boy looked at Emma with contempt in his eyes, "Do you want to have a duel with me, little girl?"

Emma knew that she couldn't compare with the senior students, and reason made her give up, but the anger in her heart was like a burning fire that could never be extinguished.

How can there be such a person who turns right and wrong, how can there be such a person who can't distinguish between black and white, Emma's reason is out of touch:
"Okay, then—"

Her words could not be uttered, because a cup full of orange juice was handed to her eyes, interrupting Emma's thinking and subsequent words.

"Will you drink juice? You won't be thirsty after chatting for a long time." A familiar soft laughter sounded beside her, and Itana had already pushed aside the crowd and walked to Emma's side when their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

The senior students saw that someone was trying to smooth things over, and the effect they wanted had been achieved, the corner of their lips twitched, and they said generously: "Forget it, that's all for now, you should think about it for yourself."

Emma clenched her fist tightly, and Itana's hand had already lightly touched her fist, opened her fingers and stuffed the cup into it, and said casually: "You waste so much time with irrelevant people, okay , isn’t it just a mermaid, believe it or not, anyway, the truth is there, you don’t care about them..."

The fifth grade student who had already turned around stamped his feet.
