Chapter 304 After All, Gabriel Took All the Responsibility
"I think... First of all, the singer should refer to the mermaid, the mermaid who lives in the cold fresh water of the Black Lake."
Fu Rong was the first to make a judgment, "What about the Holy One and the Star Gazer?"
"The stargazer...is probably a centaur?" Hermione frowned,
"There is a whole tribe of centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest. The centaurs like to observe the constellations so much, and this coincides with the forest in the second sentence."
"The mermaid corresponds to the lake, so the earth should correspond to the unknown holy person..."
Furong thought carefully, while unconsciously curling the long silver hair that floated to her ears with her fingers,
"Is there any race in the Forbidden Forest? And a race of magical animals or humanoids with at least some intelligence?"
"Let me think about it...thestrals, hippogriffs, giant arachnids, and migrated fire crabs and manticores..."
"No, the fire crab has no IQ, and needs to be ruled out..."
The more Hermione calculated, the more she felt outrageous, Fu Rong also opened her mouth slightly:
"Is the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts so outrageous? Are there no normal, less dangerous creatures?"
"It can't be my fault." Hermione didn't know whether it was because of soaking for too long, or for some other reason, a blush appeared on her cheeks,
"Hagrid never brought normal magical animals to class, so I can only think of the most dangerous ones at the first time!"
"Wait... I seem to remember that there are some extremely friendly animals in the Forbidden Forest... holy... unicorns!"
Hermione slammed the water hard, and the water splashed in all directions.
Gabriel, who was listening eagerly to the chat of the three, was caught off guard and was splashed all over the face.
Hermione apologized quickly, and took a towel from the sink to help the little girl dry her face.
At the same time, she still did not forget to summarize:
"Unicorns are sacred and pure. They are so pure that they only like the purest girls. (Nonsense, is this pure? Isn't this LSP?)"
"And unicorns have extremely powerful magical powers, and they belong to the top level among all magical animals. They can be called the darlings of the earth and nature."
"Then the conclusion is clear." Harry finally spoke,
"You have all speculated, so let me sum it up."
"The second project is probably that the organizer will take away our precious treasure and hide it carefully as a sign of the completion of the second project."
"The stargazers who symbolize the Forbidden Forest are the centaurs, who are responsible for keeping our treasures."
"And the holy unicorn, which symbolizes the earth, holds the key, which happens to correspond to the lyrics." Fu Rong said affirmatively,
"Our treasure may be locked somewhere, and the lock can only be opened with a key."
"As for the singer who symbolizes the lake, the mermaid, he probably holds the map of the Forbidden Forest." Hermione recalled the first sentence of the lyrics,
"And the so-called 'our most iconic place' in the first sentence should refer to the gathering place of these three ethnic groups."
"This is also where a map is needed. Although the gathering places of these three ethnic groups are not secrets, few wizards deliberately learn about these locations."
"In other words, our complete route is probably to sneak into the Black Lake and find the map," Harry said softly.
"Then go ashore, first find the key at the unicorn gathering place in the Forbidden Forest, and finally go to the centaur gathering place to snatch your own treasure."
"As for the competition time, it is about twenty-four hours, and the final result is definitely that the faster the speed, the higher the score."
The three of them took Furong's golden egg again and listened to it again.
The lyrics in the two golden eggs are exactly the same, so there is no need for further discussion.
After solving the puzzle, Fu Rong first wanted to celebrate, but then she realized something, and suddenly her face turned pale.
Although the fire dragon is also very dangerous, even without the help of others, Fu Rong thinks she can come up with a solution.
After all, his hypnotic magic is a talent, very stable and reliable.
But such a 24-hour competition that needs to go through various environments is a bit difficult for Fu Rong.
After all, her physical strength is really not enough, which belongs to the flawed flaw.
When participating in the Magic School Potion Championship, Fu Rong also memorized the map in advance and chose the shortest route.
Moreover, the magic garden is a treasure land carefully managed by the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association. There is not much danger in it. At most, only magical plants such as poisonous tentacles or exploding figs may cause harm to wizards.
Even so, she was exhausted in the end, not to mention the more difficult schedule and harsh environment now——
In this kind of weather, the water temperature of the Black Lake is extremely low, which can quickly deprive those who enter the water of their physical strength and temperature;
And there are many kinds of magical animals in the forbidden forest, and they are far more dangerous than the magic garden.
"Don't worry, there is still a long time to prepare. I have already planned several feasible methods."
Harley's comforting Fleur,
"Let's enjoy the warm water for now, and discuss other issues tomorrow."
"Sister Harley, have you finished discussing the business?" Gabriel, who had been waiting for a long time, asked pitifully, with a bitter face.
"I've been playing bubbles here for almost half an hour, can my sisters play with me?"
"Of course, my sister has already finished her business."
Harry put the two golden eggs back on the shore, then stretched himself, stretching his curves to his heart's content under Hermione's envious and jealous eyes.
Everyone is at Hogwarts, they eat the same food, and they are always inseparable. I am older than you, so why are you so talented! hateful!
"Let's soak it for another 20 minutes. The physique of wizards is better than that of Muggles, but it can't be soaked for too long."
Seeing that Fu Rong was still nervous, Ha Li couldn't help laughing strangely, and suddenly pushed a few bubbles that flew towards her to Fu Rong's face.
Furong came back to her senses, with embarrassment on her face, she also fought back.
The previous tense atmosphere disappeared, and the whole bathroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.
…………
Although both Hermione and Fleur wanted to get out of the shower and go to bed as soon as possible, and get up early to go to the library tomorrow morning.
And it was so late that the witches didn't need to put on makeup for a long time after taking a bath, so it was supposed to be very fast.
But after all, there are still two laggards in this bathroom, making trouble from time to time.
So I took this bath until 12:40 in the morning.
After taking a thorough shower, Gabriel didn't mention it for the time being, everyone else was blushing, and the hands holding the towel to dry the sweat seemed a little weak.
When Harry raised black flames in his hands, he kept stroking the long hair of other people, and intimately helped the other three witches dry their hair.
This empty bathroom has already been half occupied by all kinds of strangely scented and colorful bubbles.
And it was so late, Beauxbaton's carriage would definitely not be able to go back, and Fleur and Gabriel could only choose to stay in the Room of Requirement.
And Harry definitely can't let the guest live there by himself, so naturally he needs to stay with him.
Hermione didn't want to disturb the fat lady who was already asleep, and after taking a bath, her whole body was so soft that she didn't want to move at all. It was already a matter of doing her best to get back to the eighth floor.
So Harry simply turned the Room of Requirement into the shape of a Gryffindor girl's dormitory, with four people sharing a bed, perfect.
Of course, the bed can be moved, and it can be easily done by waving a magic wand.
And everyone is a witch, so it doesn't matter that much.
In the case of a small bed, it makes sense to push the beds together to increase the usable space.
The next morning, it was obvious that she slept late yesterday, but Gabriel got out of bed early in the morning.
However, the little girl's tutor was very good. Although she was still a little confused and didn't fully wake up, she still kept quiet.
She looked around and found that the surrounding layout was not familiar to her at all. She remembered that she did not spend the night in Beauxbaton's carriage, and recalled what happened last night.
Gabriel suddenly became interested, and tiptoed over to her sister who was sleeping on the outermost side, and stepped on the floor with her bare feet.
She looked here and there, carefully studying everything in the house, but soon lost interest.
After all, this is just a temporary dormitory without much decoration.
In the end Gabriel chose to go back to bed.
She quietly climbed over her sleeping sister and lay beside Harry.
With a serious expression on her face, she carefully counted Harry's eyelashes.
But soon, the little girl found that her eyelashes were not easy to count.
So she switched targets and counted the number of times Harry's chest rose and fell as he breathed.
Harry had already spotted the little girl when she approached him.
But Harry didn't stop him, but chose to pretend to be asleep.
When Gabriel was concentrating, she inadvertently looked up and met Harry's eyes that suddenly opened.
Gabriel was startled, and sat back, nearly falling off the bed.
Fortunately, Harley's long hair spread out in an instant, forcibly catching Gabriel and lifting her from the ground.
And this movement also woke up both Fleur and Hermione.
After understanding what happened, it goes without saying that Gabriel was given another good meal by Fleur.
The four of them had breakfast soon, and Harry was going to take the Delacour sisters back to the carriage.
And Ms. Maxim seemed to get up early in the morning, and stood in front of the car window staring out of the window.
Apparently, she had discovered that a certain pair of mixed-race Veela sisters sneaked out last night and did not return all night.
When she saw that it was Harry who brought Fleur and Gabriel back, Ms. Maxim was visibly relieved.
Fortunately, it wasn't some little bastard who attracted her favorite student to stay out at night, but the sisters were together, otherwise she didn't know how to explain to the Delacours.
…………
After being interrogated by Ms. Maxim, Fleur barely escaped unharmed.
After all, it was to crack the secret of the golden egg and for Beauxbaton's honor. Ms. Maxim said she could understand.
But Gabriel, who sneaked out, suffered. After all, she bears everything.
And just after being interrogated on the front foot, Fleur returned to Hogwarts on the back foot.
Although Halle can provide a set of very useful methods, Fleur still wants to do some planning by herself first.
After all, it is rare to participate in such a grand six-power competition, so you have to learn something from it, don't you?
So Fleur continued to soak in the library again, and at the same time, she didn't forget to bring in the warm-hearted Hermione.
Time passed unconsciously like this, and in a blink of an eye, there was only one week until the Christmas holiday.
On the last Thursday of the semester, in the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall ended the most difficult class of the semester-creature transfiguration.
After putting all the guinea fowls transformed from guinea pigs into cages, Professor McGonagall did not directly announce the dismissal of get out of class.
She looked at the students in the classroom calmly, cleared her throat:
"As you all know, after this week of classes, it's the Christmas holidays."
"The original Triwizard Tournament had a tradition of holding a Yule Ball on Christmas Eve, from eight o'clock in the evening until midnight."
"This is also a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests, and you can invite them to dance together."
"Of course, the Big Six Tournament also inherits the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, and there won't be too many changes."
"So the prom will be held as usual and, as per usual, only open to students in fourth grade and above."
"Of course, if you want, you can also invite students from lower grades, although I personally don't want you to invite too young little wizards."
Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone in the class with a serious face, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Don't be so nervous, this is a happy day, isn't it?" Professor McGonagall suddenly laughed,
"You can make your own most beautiful gowns, of course, other styles of gowns are also fine."
"Invite the person you want to invite the most, and at that night—well—relax yourself and relieve the fatigue caused by studying."
Listening to Professor McGonagall's words, the students couldn't help laughing.
Lavender and several girls covered their mouths with their hands to prevent their voices from coming out.
Not knowing what good things came to mind, Lavender turned his head and muttered to Parvati.
Professor McGonagall glared at the two of them, but for the first time did not stop this behavior that clearly violated classroom discipline.
Amidst the whispers, someone raised his hand: "Professor McGonagall, is there any limit to who we can invite as a dance partner?"
"No," Professor McGonagall shook his head,
"As I said before, even if you want to invite little wizards from lower grades, you can."

(Thank you "Sakura Kong￥Tear Rain" for your reward!)
(ps. There is a small problem with the time, because the specific time of the original work is a bit confusing, and the author confuses the correspondence between the actual calendar and the original date and the week, plus some texts, I didn’t calculate it well, so I finished writing It was later discovered that there was an extra week or two out of thin air. Damn.)
(Please be sure to forgive this small mistake, woo woo woo.)
