Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard

Fred thought for a moment and said,

"It's really possible."

While several people were talking, the mermaid in the water was angered by the fireworks and began to surface and move towards the four people.

"Okay, let's talk about anything later. Let's deal with these brutal guys first."

Li Qiaodan said, and at the same time he sent out several crushing spells.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

Feeney also cast spells on the mermaids rushing towards him, constantly harvesting lives.

George, Fred, and Lee Jordan were obviously fighting for the first time, but their movements were agile and they didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Of course, this may also be because they usually help kill some poultry at home. At the same time, they do not regard the mermaids who attack them and others as humanoid creatures, but as some kind of mermaids. Fantastic Beasts.

This time, the number of mermaids was much smaller than the ones they encountered in the Black Lake, so naturally they wouldn't be in the same situation that they were exhausted from dealing with before.

However, completely dealing with these mermaids still made them quite tired.

"Okay, let's take a rest. The only thing left in the water is the big octopus that seems to be Gryffindor. If it is really Gryffindor, we will not be in danger,"

Fred asked doubtfully,

"In this case, isn't the treasure right in front of us? Why don't we get the treasure first and rest?"

Feeney shook his head and said,

"You know, half of those who travel a hundred miles are ninety-nine. The closer you are to success, the more careful you must be to prevent accidents."

Since Feeney said so, the four of them simply cleaned up the corpses around them and sat on the ground.

Li Qiaodan also opened his backpack and took out the food inside, and the four of them shared it and ate it.

Eating inside a corpse was not only the first time for Feeney, but also the first experience for George and Fred.

However, because we were all tired, we didn't feel any nausea at all. Maybe I was too tired to care about feeling sick.

After having their fill of wine and food, the four of them stood up from the ground and prepared to cross the lake and reach the island in the center.

When they came to the water's edge, the octopus' legs in the water stretched out and kept swaying on the water, which looked very scary.

As the octopus legs continued to swing, the huge octopus head also stretched out from the water. Two protruding blue eyes stared at the four people. Eight octopuses retreated around the huge head and kept waving. He was standing there, as if he was about to attack several people at any time.

However, in fact, the octopus had no intention of attacking Finny and the others. It just stopped them every time they tried to cross the water.

After Fred was sure that the octopus would not attack them, he plunged into the water and tried to swim to the other side.

As a result, he was directly rolled up by an octopus leg, and then was sent back to the shore while everyone was panicking.

"Look, this guy doesn't want us to pass."

Feeney said with emotion,

George said with some disappointment,

"We're all here, but it turns out we can't get through this last step. What a pity."

Fred nodded,

"Yes, but this experience was good. It was a great adventure."

Feeney shook his head and said,

"It's just not in my character to give up like that."

He frowned and looked at the octopus that occupied most of the water, thinking about possible solutions.

After a moment, he waved the wand in his hand, and several stone pillars protruded from the ground near the water, wrapping around the octopus like ropes.

The octopus naturally refused to be controlled like this and got entangled with those stone pillars.

"It's now."

Feeney gave a low drink and ran towards the water.

Although George, Fred and Li Jordan didn't quite understand what Feeney meant, they still ran after him.

I saw Feeney's wand dancing, and a stone bridge slowly emerged on the water. The four of them stepped onto the stone bridge and arrived at the central island on the other side of the water.

The big octopus was still entangled with those stone pillars at this time, and there was no way to distract Feini and the others.

Li Jordan punched Feeney excitedly and said,

"It's really yours, I can think of all these."

Feeney shrugged and said,

"As we have deduced, this big octopus is probably Gryffindor, so his purpose here is easy to guess,"

Fred asked,

"What purpose?"

Finny explained with a smile.

"Either to test whether we are qualified to inherit his inheritance and treasures, or to protect us. There may be other existences in the water that can threaten our lives, so he won't let us near the water. , let alone let us go into the water.”

George looked at Feeney doubtfully, and then at the big octopus who was still entangled with the stone pillar. He suddenly thought of some possibilities and asked uncertainly,

"Finney, you mean, it was actually a test just now?"

Feeney nodded and said,

"It's very possible, but it can't be ruled out that it's protecting us, so I chose to come here this way."

As he spoke, he pointed to the stone bridge behind him.

"This way we won't be close to the water. Even if there is danger in the water, it won't have any impact on us. As for the octopus, it was attracted by the stone pillars I used to transform. Naturally, there is no way to stop us."

George and Fred nodded, understanding what Finny meant, but Lee Jordan was still a little confused and asked,

"But Finny, you should know a lot of spells that can control octopuses, why did you choose Transfiguration?"

Finny smiled and looked at Lee Jordan and said,

"Lee, do you remember the contents of Gryffindor's notes? He cast a spell on himself to keep himself in the form of Animagus permanently. Not to mention how difficult this spell is, there are very few wizards who can complete the Animagus spell, so Gryffindor is very The big one might be a master of Transfiguration,"

Lee Jordan immediately understood what Finny meant,

"You mean, the inheritance left by Gryffindor is probably about Transfiguration, so his test should also be about Transfiguration."

Finny nodded, pointed in the direction of the big octopus and said,

"I guess I guessed right, look there."

George and the other two looked over and found that the stone pillars had disappeared at this time, and the big octopus had no intention of sending them to the other side. Instead, it looked at Finny with a very uncoordinated satisfaction in its eyes.

If it was a human or a humanoid creature, George and the others would not feel uncomfortable with this look, but when a particularly large octopus looks at you with very human emotional eyes, you can really feel a chill and inexplicable weirdness.
