days at Hogwarts

Chapter 73 The first day of the Air Force, non-combat crimes
The black lake is frozen hard, like a mirror.

It is said that there is a friendly giant squid living below, and when the little wizard falls into the water, he will use his long tentacles to lift him ashore.

There is also a whole tribe of mermaids in the Black Lake. Mermaids, as intelligent humanoid magical creatures with a long tradition, lead the aquatic animals under the lake.

Loren stepped across the snow-covered lawn to the edge of the black lake, looking at the lake with joy.

I threw my feet away from the snow on the lake and kicked my feet hard, but there was no movement at all.

That's right, the ice is 1 meter thick, and it's still covered with snow, so it's sure to be able to catch fish.

The ice layer is thick and the ice is still covered with snow, so the fish below may lack oxygen. At this time, when the ice is opened, the fish will gather towards this side, and there must be a mouth.

Loren felt that he should go a little further in, as it was not easy to open ice eyes on the shore.

Using transfiguration to rub some anti-slip teeth on the soles, Loren walked in with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The thickness of the ice layer is absolutely strong, so you don’t have to worry about cracking the ice surface and falling down to make a nest by yourself.

Loren began to choose suitable fishing spots on the ice. He had a plan in mind. He usually chose sunny places on the north bank, and inferred the underwater situation from the color of the ice layer. There are generally more fish in this kind of place.

After searching for half an hour, I finally chose a place.

"【Thunderbolt Hole Piercing】"

I don't know why, when casting a spell on the lake, Loren always has an urge to try.

boom!
A disk-sized hole exploded on the surface of the lake, and the lake water gushed out from below, washing away the black near the hole.

He looked at the hole and nodded in satisfaction. After making an ice hole, the oxygen will melt underwater, and the fish will gather here when they notice it. He must have gained a lot today.

Take out some carrots, bread, and chicken thighs from the food box, tear them into pieces, knead them, and sprinkle them into the ice hole.

Oxygen is attracted, food is nested, and meat and vegetables are both pronged. Loren can't imagine how amazing the fish catch will be today.

Use the Flying Charm to summon the stones by the lake, conjure up a deck chair, windshield, fishing rod, fish barrel...with complete equipment, put the chicken leg meat on the fishhook, and start the first shot easily.

Loren sighed, "Transfiguration is really a blessing for anglers."

Lying on the deck chair, covered with a warm fur blanket, Loren stared at the float on the ice cave, waiting for today's good start.

Near noon, the sun shines through the clouds and shines on people's skin, giving off a slight warmth, which is very comfortable.

Loren squinted his eyes and felt it carefully. It was warm and windless, and the weather was good for fishing.

The warm light shone on Loren's body, and Loren became sluggish unconsciously. It's not bad to sleep in this weather, and the floating in Loren's eyes gradually blurred.

"Loren! Loren!"

Ron's voice came from behind.

Loren woke up suddenly, ignored Ron behind him, and hurriedly picked up his fishing rod to check the situation. The bait on the hook had disappeared.

Heartache, in short, very heartache, accidentally fell asleep and missed the first shot.

Behind, Ron led a Hufflepuff boy and staggered across the ice to Loren's side.

"Loren, what are you doing here?" Ron stared curiously at the fishing rod in front of Loren's seat.

"fishing."

Loren rehooked the fish hook while talking, this time it will definitely work, "What do you want from me?"

"Fishing?" The Hufflepuff boy next to him looked at the fishing rod curiously, and quickly understood the working principle of the rod, and asked, "Why don't you use a pulling spell?"

The pulling spell can emit a stretchable magical light rope at the tip of the spell, pulling distant objects to the location specified by the caster.

"You guys are still young, so you don't understand that everything depends on magic." Loren said in a leisurely tone, it's a good thing to have fish to eat, and he won't be able to fly the air force today.

"What's the matter with me?"

Ron took up the conversation, "This is Rolf Scamander of Hufflepuff. He asked you about frozen pears."

This is normal, and several Hufflepuffs have asked how to do it these days.

Loren looked at the dark blonde boy with natural curly hair beside him, "Rolf, nice to meet you."

Several people quickly chatted. Rolf and Ron were also interested in fishing, and Loren conjured up two deck chairs to entertain them.

In this way, the three of them lay on the ice and talked while waiting for Loren's fish to take the bait.

Rolf Scamander knew some magical animals very well, and talked about the dark magic creatures like Grindylow besides ordinary fish in the Black Lake.

Having said this, Rolf suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and looked at Loren with a strange expression, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it.

"I want to ask how long have you been fishing here?" Rolf asked tentatively.

"It's all morning. I just fell asleep. I didn't catch the fish when I took the bait. It's okay. There will be fish in a while." Loren is very confident. In such an environment and such equipment, it is impossible for the air force.

"Your bait may have been eaten by Grindylow." Rolf finally told Loren the sad news.

Grindylows are mindless, murderous creatures of dark magic tamed by murlocs as pets.This creature has a green body, green teeth, horns on its head, and most importantly, Grindylow has very long fingers.

The bait may have been taken off by Grindylow's hand and eaten, and Loren would never catch a fish.

"No way." Loren turned pale when he heard that, and quickly pulled up the hook to check, but the bait on the hook was gone.

Loren closed his eyes in despair, unable to bear to look again.

I didn't expect that the right time, place and people were all in my hands. As a result, the fish in the Black Lake were reckless, and they used their hands to get the bait. How can I catch it.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!"

Ron wanted to hold back at first, but the more he held back, the more he wanted to laugh, and he laughed wantonly at the back, "You might as well play chess with me in the castle."

"What do you know, it's the fish's problem, not mine."

"The local fish are too unruly. I bait the nest and they take the bait. Isn't that justified?"

"Fishing is a kind of leisure, and it doesn't matter whether you get something or not."

Loren's eyes were confused, and his mouth was talking nonsense.

What follows next is "The Air Force is impossible for the Air Force, come and come..."

Loren's eyes began to circle around the black lake, and he must take something with him.

"I can help you adjust the fish food, the fish food that Grindylow hates but ordinary fish will eat."

Rolf's words stabilized Loren's heart.

Loren stared at Rolf, even under the sun, he could still see the little curls on Hufflepuff's head glowing.

The atmosphere became harmonious again, and Loren stopped fishing, and planned to put away the blanket and dinner plate and go home.

Put the stones here to make a mark, get a good fishing position, and wait for the fish food to be adjusted tomorrow before going to battle.

On the way back to the castle, they learned that Rolf was the grandson of Newt Scamander, and Newt was the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in the first grade book list.

The Scamander family has a family history, and Rolf is very interested in this aspect, so he understands the characteristics of Grindylow and can help Loren prepare fish food.

[ps: Rolf Scamander was born in 1980, he is the same level as Harry, this is not my second creation.It may be because Rowling wrote the story of Fantastic Beasts later, and this person was not mentioned in the original Harry Potter.

In addition, the pulling curse sounds fake, but it is not my second creation, it is the magic spell that really exists in the official materials.

Finally, why didn't this passage be included in the writer's talk, because I want a little word count hehehe. 】
