Chapter 380: The Shenming Temple Was Almost Exposed, How to Breathe Underwater

Aaron invited his second partner to the dance floor and swayed wildly to the beat of the music.

Hermione's dancing skills were much better than Luna's, and she could dance very well without his special guidance.

The men and women on the dance floor danced more and more happily to the rhythm of the music, and few people noticed that Aaron had changed his partner, or they noticed but didn't care.

After more than two hours, the music gradually subsided, and they left the dance floor.

Compared with Aaron's calm and relaxed demeanor, Hermione's pretty face was slightly red, and she kept fanning herself with her hands.

"Aren't you hot?"

"Not bad."

"I almost forgot that you are someone who can fight a dragon with your physical fitness.

How did you train?"

"I can't tell you that." Aaron shrugged, "Want something to drink?"

"Butterbeer, please!"

Aaron subconsciously wanted to take Abe's pocket, but soon remembered that his pet, wallet and warehouse had been rented out by the vice-principal for a day, so he could only take two bottles from the drink cabinet by the wall.

"Thank you!" Hermione took a big sip after taking it, and she felt much more comfortable. "Have you solved the clue in the golden egg?"

"I have solved it. I know more than anyone else, but you don't want to know.

When you go back, tell Harry that the second project cannot be passed with a broom, and he'd better prepare early, otherwise..."

"What else?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I almost forgot, this competition does not allow for abstention." Aaron chuckled and said, "I can only say that the later it is delayed, the harder it will be to pass the second project."

Hermione couldn't help but frown slightly. After passing the first project, Harry's golden egg had been gathering dust in the dormitory, and he had not tried to crack the clues to the golden egg until now.

"By the way, everyone else has solved the clues to the golden egg and has started preparing."

"What about you? How well are you prepared?"

"Definitely more than others." Aaron said, but secretly added in his heart: But I don't know after today.

"Harry..."

"Go ask Cedric!" Aaron said bluntly, "Harry told Diggory the clues of the first project, and he should give him a chance to return the favor."

"I'm afraid not." Hermione looked embarrassed, turned her head and glanced at Cedric and Qiu Zhang who were dancing, and lowered her voice and said, "I think the person Harry least wants to see now is Diggory."

"You're dying to save face and suffering in life." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Continue: There will be an unusually harsh sound after the golden egg is opened. It is a special kind of singing that can only be heard clearly when placed in water.

That's all I can say. As for the rest of the riddles, he has to guess them himself."

"It's probably not just him." Hermione said meaningfully, at least she and Ron will definitely help Harry.

"Then I can't control it."

......

Back in the common room, Aaron transmitted tonight's memories to the thought body in the dormitory.

"What do you want me to do?" The thought body said helplessly, "Big sister's move is not just a shady one, it's a naked conspiracy!"

"Alas! Captain Jack's compass must be taken out, that's the best way to break the deadlock."

"I don't deny that with the help of that compass you can indeed find two people in the shortest time.

But then, if this magic prop is exposed..."

"Let's take it one step at a time!" Aaron said thoughtfully, "The good news is that only we know the true function of the compass, maybe we can work on this point.

A magic prop that can point to what people think in their hearts has a huge appeal to everyone, but if this magic prop has some limitations, that's another matter."

"I understand." The thought body clapped his hands, "I'll write the story, you'll act, and I'll make sure it's smooth without any flaws."

......

The Christmas ball allowed all the teachers and students in the school and even the guests from other magic schools to vent their excess energy. After that, Hogwarts Castle became quiet and the students began to work hard on their homework.

After Harry knew how to crack the clues to the golden egg, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

In order to keep it secret, he asked the prefect for the password to the prefect's bathroom the next day, and walked in carefully holding the golden egg.

Turn on all the taps and fill the bathtub with hot water.

Harry took a deep breath, squatted in the water and opened the golden egg.

Sure enough, there was no sharp and piercing sound, but a short ballad instead...

"Did you hear it?"

Puff!

Harry was startled and stood up from the water in a hurry, choking for a while.

"Myrtle? Why are you here?"

"I came through the pipe." Myrtle said resentfully, "You haven't come to see me for a long time, especially after Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was blocked."

"That's the girls' bathroom, we shouldn't have gone in.

Wait, you said Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was blocked?"

"Yes! It has been blocked for a long time, maybe last year or the year before." Myrtle said nonchalantly, "Once I was floating down the pipe and found that I was blocked by a thick wall as soon as I entered."

"Maybe it was Dumbledore who did it!" Harry pondered, "He is the headmaster, isn't it natural for him to seal Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"I always feel that this is a bit sudden." Myrtle said unhappily, "The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in my bathroom, but I didn't notice it at all."

"There's nothing strange about this. "Harry smiled indifferently, "The White Lord's magic power is not ordinary strong. Maybe when you were just hanging out outside, he waved his wand and sealed the secret room. "

"But he didn't discuss it with me."

"He is the principal. Your bathroom, including the secret room, is the property of Hogwarts. There is no need to discuss it with you!"

"Maybe!"

Aaron didn't know that his Shenming Temple was almost exposed in the conversation between the two. Fortunately, Harry's brain-filling ability was sufficient to successfully eliminate the last flaw.

"Can you figure out the clues in this egg?"

"You can't make a sound on the ground, so it's underwater." Harry said slowly, "But what is underwater? Giant squid?"

"There are many kinds?" Myrtle said, "For example, all kinds of...fish, they don't talk well."

"Fish?" Harry gradually moved his eyes to the wall, where there was a picture of a mermaid sleeping soundly.

"Is it a mermaid?"

"You took much less time than Cedric." Myrtle praised, "The mermaid was still awake at that time, constantly showing off her fins, but he didn't notice it."

Harry immediately became excited, "So the second project is to find mermaids in the lake?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the excitement on his face disappeared.

The clue was found, but the problem was that he couldn't swim!

The Black Lake is not ordinary deep, and mermaids will never live in shallow waters, which means he has to dive into deep waters, or even the bottom of the lake.

The ballad said that there is an hour to find the beloved thing taken away by the mermaid, which means that you have to stay underwater for at least an hour, which is simply impossible for him.

Harry left the prefect's bathroom in a panic. Let alone what the beloved thing that was taken away was, just breathing underwater was enough to give him a headache for a long time.

After returning to the common room, he shared the clues he got with Ron and Hermione.

"No wonder Aaron said he had to crack the clues as soon as possible. If I knew it too late, I would be finished." Harry said with a frown, "Do you have any way to let me breathe underwater for an hour?"

"Uh... There is no such spell in the books I have read so far." Hermione said, "It is obvious that this spell can only be mastered by seniors, or there are not many people in seniors who can master it."

"Beautiful, it hit my self-confidence hard."

"Why don't you try scuba diving!" Ron suggested, "That's the underwater breathing device for Muggles.

Don't you know the summoning spell? Buy a set in advance and put it outside the stadium."

"Uh. ..Isn't this idea a bit..."

"Too unreliable." Hermione said speechlessly, "Scuba gear can't be used after purchase, it requires special training, and Harry doesn't have that much time to learn.

And operating that device is not easier than magic, it's impossible to find something at the bottom of the lake within an hour.

The most important thing is that you have a set of Muggle tools in the wizard's Triwizard Tournament, and the audience can drown Harry with spit."

Harry shuddered suddenly, "Change another method! This trick is too risky."

"At least it can save your life." Ron said reluctantly.

"That's not necessarily true." Hermione retorted, "There are many different creatures in the Black Lake, many of which are aggressive. It's not convenient to use a wand when wearing that set of equipment."

"What about Transfiguration?" Harry said in a deep voice, "Turn me into a fish or a frog like Little Star, so that I can dive underwater."

"Impossible, it takes several years to learn Animagus!

And you have to register with the Office of the Prohibition of the Improper Use of Magic, you don't have that much time."

"Then what do you say?" Ron said listlessly, "You can't shout on the lake and let the mermaid take the mermaid away "Hermione was silent for a moment and said, "Look in the library! There must be a way for him to breathe underwater." "Why the library again? I think it's better to buy a pair of scuba gear! Hermione, maybe there are other shortcuts, as long as you go..." "Absolutely not." Hermione glared at Ron fiercely, "This is the Triwizard Tournament, not a game. He has done his best to tell me how to unlock the golden egg. If there is more, you can just let him help Harry find something." "I just said it casually, there is no need to react so strongly." Ron said embarrassedly.

"Let's go to the library!" Harry sighed. "We still have at least a month to go. It won't be too late to ask him for help when we are really at our wits' end."
