Magic Journey from Hogwarts

"I don't know what it means." A gleam of anger flashed in Aaron's eyes, "The god has no shadow."

After the words fell, the mermaid leader let out a miserable howl. His arm was covered with bruises as if cut by countless sharp knives, and his blood melted into the lake uncontrollably.

"How dare you? A Hogwarts student..."

"Strictly speaking, I am a student of Hogwarts Slytherin College." Aaron said solemnly, "Students of the Snake House are shrewd and powerful, wise to protect themselves, but they can use unscrupulous means when necessary.

Maintaining the Water Avoidance Curse consumes a lot of mana, but I have enough power left to fight you all. Do you want to try it? "

"You can only take one, keep her, and we will return her to you after the second project is over." The mermaid leader said forcefully, "This is an agreement between us and Dumbledore. "

"It has nothing to do with me, it's an agreement between you and him." Aaron said lightly, "Frankly speaking, I don't trust you, I just warned you, don't think that I dare not kill you.

So... get out of the way. "

A mermaid was about to stab him with a spear, but before he could make a move, the mermaid leader hurriedly held him down.

"You can leave." The mermaid leader said helplessly, and all the mermaids and Grindylow surrounding them dispersed, "It's obviously just a competition event, there is no need to make such a tense situation."

"Thank you." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, "The wound on your body can only be healed with a counter-curse. You can go to Professor Dumbledore, and he may help you."

After finishing speaking, he took Hermione to swim towards the lake at high speed.

A few minutes later, a transparent barrier emerged from the black lake, and the last light curtain above it also disappeared.

There was a lot of people in the stands, many people cheered and applauded, and the referees also smiled at Aaron.

Just after leaving the water, Hermione opened her eyes in a daze. She looked at the spherical barrier that cut off the lake water, and little stars appeared in her eyes, "It's amazing, is this the magic that allows you to breathe underwater?"

Aaron nodded and led her to the shore.

Several warriors, including the hostages they rescued, are all here. They are all wrapped in thick blankets, and they look at Aaron with different eyes, but they all have a hint of shock.

After they came up, they also saw Aaron's performance through the light curtain, and they had to admit that this 15-year-old wizard was indeed amazing.

Luna handed a blanket to Hermione, "Wipe it! The senior didn't touch a drop of lake water the whole time, but we soaked in the lake for a long time."

"And this." Luna took out a bottle of red potion, "The potion given by Madam Pomfrey can warm you up in a short time."

"Thank you." Hermione opened the bottle with some embarrassment and drank the potion. The hot feeling spread all over her body, and a lot of heat came out of her body, and she immediately felt much refreshed.

"That... I think I should apologize to you.

If I could show up in time for the Yule Ball, you wouldn't be so embarrassed. "

"It's all over." Aaron staggered and sat on the ground, "Adrian told me that Luna is also mentally prepared."

"Are you okay!" Hermione frowned when she saw his pale face.

"The magic power is consumed too much, just rest for a while."

"Is that the spell?"

"The Water Avoidance Curse is not the Water Bubble Curse. Every second of maintaining this magic consumes mana." Aaron explained with a bitter smile, "Although the consumption will gradually decrease as the strength improves, it is still the same for me now. No small burden.

After all, I stayed underwater for more than an hour and had contact with Grindylow several times.

To be honest, if those mermaids really bite me, it may not be so easy for us to come up. "

"I should thank you in person." Furong pulled her sister over and said, "I didn't want to help you when I was at the bottom of the lake, but..."

"I don't need to explain, I understand." Aaron waved his hand, "To be honest, I'm already very relieved that you didn't stay, because at that time I really didn't have the extra strength to save you again."

The corner of Furong's mouth twitched slightly, is she being underestimated?

After all, she was a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, and she could be considered a genius among her peers, but she really didn't know how to refute it in comparison.

"That... I'm taking the liberty to ask, I heard they said that you found me with a precious compass?"

"That's a magic prop passed down from our family." Aaron waved his hand indifferently, "You don't have to worry about it, that old antique has fulfilled its mission."

Furong's expression was complicated. She didn't know the big lie that Aaron told the audience, and she just felt that she owed a big favor this time.

Chapter 387 Scoring, Mark of Death Eaters

Dumbledore squatted by the lake, apologetically treating the injury on the arm of the mermaid leader, and then returned to the referee's seat to discuss scoring matters with several other referees.

A few minutes later, Bagman's voice sounded. He held his wand against his neck and amplified his voice with an amplifying spell to ensure that everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce the points each warrior earned in the second category.

Ms. Delacour showed an excellent use of the bubble head spell, and successfully rescued the hostages in the last minute of the time limit. We give her 1 points. "

"It's a bit high for me." Fleur shook her head mockingly, "If it wasn't for someone's help, I wouldn't even be able to pass Grindylow's level."

"Uh..." Aaron rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Didn't I remind you that there are dangerous creatures in the Black Lake, don't you know that Grindylow usually likes to hide in aquatic plants?"

"Unlucky." Fu Rong said gloomily, "I encountered a giant squid on the way down, and accidentally broke into that patch of aquatic plants while evading."

"Tsk! It's sad enough."

"Viktor Krum used Transfiguration, although it was not complete, but he also returned with the hostages within the stipulated time.

He came out third and we decided to give him 45 points. "

"Harry Potter took gillweed with amazing results.

He was the first to complete the task within the specified time, rescued the hostages, and after the referee's discussion... 47 points. "

Hermione and Ron were so excited that they laughed happily.

But Harry lowered his head with guilt, he knew how he got his score, the origin of gill grass is somewhat disgraceful, especially Snape's cold gaze in the audience made him feel like a light on his back .

"Cedric Diggory, he also used the Bubble Curse and completed the task within the stipulated time limit. We also gave him 47 points."

The Hufflepuffs cheered loudly and everyone clapped their hands excitedly.

In their opinion, Cedric should be No.1. Harry Potter just ate a precious herb, and he didn't show his abilities at all.

"The last is Aaron Gaius." Bagman's voice was a little higher, "We all saw his performance. He used a kind of high-level magic, and he did not touch a drop of water in the cold black lake. He wanted to save two hostages, and made a wise choice. In the end, he chose to help the fourth warrior and rescued her from the siege of Grindylow.

Although the allotted one-hour time limit was exceeded, the performance was impeccable and the referees decided to award him 49 points. "

The Slytherin students shouted excitedly, Fleur and Hermione clapped vigorously, and Luna also cheered for him.

"Finally, the third event of the Triwizard Tournament will take place in the evening of June 24.

The Warriors will know the content of the game one month in advance, thank you for your support. "

Bagman's voice stopped here, and the audience left their seats one after another. Cedric, Fleur and Krum also decided to go back and have a good rest.

Aaron took Abe back from Adrian, and then looked at her with resentment, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Very satisfied." Adrian clapped his hands, "You made a choice, but the way you chose made me unexpected."

"You are really my sister." Aaron said with a wry smile.

"cousin."

"Okay! Cousin, how do you plan to torment me in your next project?"

"You will know when the time comes, but the last level is more exciting than the first two items combined, if it really doesn't work, the agreement between us will be void.

But you'd better be prepared, because that means Kelia will be visiting your house after your holiday. "

Aaron:  …

This is so unexpected.

"What I dislike the most as a person is quitting halfway."

"Wait and see, behave well." Adrian patted him on the shoulder, turned and left with a smile.

Aaron gritted his teeth and took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to curse.

"That..." Harry called cautiously behind him, with a death-defying expression on his face, "let's go and see Professor Snape."

"Huh?" Aaron looked surprised, "I have to admit, you have a little more backbone than I thought, and I thought you would drag it on forever!"

Harry smiled awkwardly, he did have this idea at first.

Aaron doesn't like trouble, as long as it can be delayed for ten days and a half months, he will gradually forget about it.

But not now, Professor Snape's face was terribly dark just now, he must know that his gill grass was stolen.

He took the initiative to admit his mistake, and with Aaron's help, he would not be punished too badly.

Otherwise, when Snape came to the door, he would have a good fruit to eat. After all, Potions class was a hurdle they couldn't escape. It would not be too easy for Snape to punish him.

The two entered Hogwarts Castle, turned dozens of times in the long corridor, and stopped in front of Professor Snape's private storage room.

Just as Aaron was about to knock on the door, Karkaroff's voice came from inside.

The principal of Durmstrang was extremely anxious, and besides anxiety, there was endless fear in his tone.

"It's a sign, Severus, and both you and I know what it means.

You must have noticed, it's never been so obvious since..."

"Hide quickly." Snape said viciously, "If you don't want to face it, you can try to escape, and I will try my best to help you.

I'm not in a good mood today, let's talk about it later, Karkaroff. "

The door opened suddenly, and Aaron kept knocking on the door. Harry stood stiffly behind him, sweating nervously.

Seeing someone outside, Karkaroff hurriedly pulled down his sleeves, but Aaron clearly caught the pattern on his left arm, and he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly in his heart.

The Dark Mark, the mark of the Death Eaters.

The Dark Lord has disappeared for more than ten years, but you still keep this mark to this day. This loyalty really stands the test of time!

"Aaron, what... do you want me to do?"

"It's a little bit, but it seems that we came at the wrong time."

The corner of Karkaroff's mouth twitched, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and quickly left Snape's private storage room.

"Now we can talk." Aaron shrugged and let Harry Potter behind him out, "He's looking for something for you, Professor."

"Potter." Snape gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "Congratulations, you performed outstandingly in Black Lake.

Gill grass, is it? "

"Yes, sir."

Snape nodded, "It's a genius idea, just a little bolder."

He turned and walked into the storage room, and climbed up a ladder, "That's a rare herb, gill sac grass, you can't find it in ordinary gardens, and you can't find this either."

Snape came down from the ladder with a small crystal bottle in his hand.

"Know this?"

Harry shook his head, "It's not pumpkin juice anyway."

"It's Veritaserum, and it only takes three drops to make you reveal your innermost secrets."

"Professor," Aaron interjected, "the Ministry of Magic won't let this thing be used on students."

"Don't I know?" Snape said angrily, "I just wanted to tell Mr. Potter not to steal from my private pantry in the future, or I might accidentally drip it on someone's pumpkin juice in."

"Sorry, sir." Harry said very humblely, "I stole the gill grass, and I apologize to you."

"Hmph! It's quite frank, but the frankness is a bit incomplete."

Harry's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Snape had discovered that Dobby had stolen the gill grass. Just as he was feeling uneasy, Snape's next words reached his ears.

"The gill grass is harmless, but the woodsnakeskin and lacewings are gone too.

Are you and your friends making Polyjuice Potion? "

"I don't know what you're talking about." Harry frowned, and he admitted it, but Polyjuice Potion really had nothing to do with him.

"Wait! I'll find out why."

Harry used to feel that he was in the wrong, and always felt guilty when facing Snape.

But hearing this at the moment, he only felt a deep anger in his heart, feeling that Snape just wanted to take the blame on him, and those materials might have been properly placed on the counter, and they hadn't been stolen at all.

Harry gave Snape a cold look, turned and left without saying a word.

"He's quite tempered." Snape said disdainfully. "It seems that the successful passing of the two events of the Triwizard Tournament made our savior inflated."

"Uh...Professor Snape, is there a possibility that he just stole the gill grass?"

"Who else but him? Gill grass, tree snake skin, and lacewings were stolen on the same day."
