next chapter

"What do I have to do to become a Disguise Magus?" Hermione asked, interested in this spell.

"Transfiguration Mags are very rare. They are all born, not acquired. Most wizards need to use magic wands or potions to change their appearance!" Tonks said, "But it can be done by studying hard."

While Hermione and Tonks continued talking, Ivan and Lupine were also talking.

"Ewen, don't worry about Tonks, she is one of my own, we met a long time ago, she has always been like this!" Lupine said with a wry smile, helplessly watching Tonks changing hair color on the other side of the room, "You may not know that her mother, Andromeda, is the cousin of Sirius, who was also expelled from the Black family"

"Sirius told me that Andromeda was his favorite cousin. Because she married a Muggle-born wizard, she was removed from the family tree of the Black family!" Aiwen said, "I believe Tonks, Is there anything else, I'll go back without it!"

He was going to leave, he didn't want to disturb Lupine and Tonks being alone and cultivating their relationship by staying here.

Besides, Sirius and Harry were waiting for him and Hermione at the Shrieking Shack.

"It's really not suitable for you two to stay here for too long. It will be troublesome if someone finds out!" Lupine nodded and said, taking out a cloth bag and handing it to Ai Wen, "This is the gift you asked me to buy for you some time ago. They are all items made by the best craftsmen, they are very exquisite, I personally selected them, those mermaids should be satisfied."

"I hope!" Ivan took the things over and sighed.

It is really difficult to deal with mermaids. He has worked so hard to communicate several times before and after, so that those mermaids don't turn around and run away after seeing him, but that's all. To further deepen the relationship and trust, you need to Keep giving gifts.

Fortunately, through this period of contact, Aiwen discovered that besides music, mermaids also like various items made by humans.

Such as furniture, mirrors, various accessories, etc. These things are very popular among the Hogwarts mermaid clan.

They are willing to take out some herbs and magic materials that grow deep in the bottom of the lake in exchange for these items.

Among them, Aiwen selected all the precious and rare magic materials to make potions and alchemy.

The rest of the normal stuff was handed over to Fred and George, who both used it to produce prank props.

The materials that the mermaid took out far exceeded the original value of the items exchanged with Aiwen, and the profit of the transaction was very high.

Even if there is no clue of the key to Ravenclaw's secret treasure, he is willing to continue this transaction.

More than ten minutes later, Alvin and Hermione Apparated back to the Shrieking Shack.

Sirius announced that Ivan could use Apparition alone, and gave him a copy of "Common Apparation Mistakes and How to Avoid It". Solution

Because he was not sure how long it would take to communicate and trade with the mermaid, Aiwen decided to act after dinner.

He said hello to Hermione and asked her to cover him.

From the perspective of others, the two of them, like other couples, went on a date in a hidden place in the castle after dinner.

But in fact, Aiwen sneaked into the lake outside by himself.

Because of worry, Hermione originally wanted to go with Aiwen, but was persuaded by Aiwen!

It wasn't so peaceful under the lake, it was more convenient for him to move around alone, and he didn't have to be distracted to take care of Hermione.

He and Hermione slipped out of the castle amidst the dinner crowd, before it had completely darkened outside.

Many Durmstrang students were leaning on the side of the ship and chatting, and there was laughter and noise.

With the huge shadow of the castle and the statues on the lawn, they bypassed Durmstrang's big boat, and Ivan walked into the lake from the other end.

The water in the lake was very cold, and his two quickly numb feet slipped constantly on the sand and smooth, sticky stones.

The bitter cold wind blew by, he shivered, took out his wand, and cast two spells on himself as fast as possible.

A bubble appeared above Aiwen's head, this is the bubble head curse!

Under the effect of the warming spell, the lake water is no longer icy cold, but a little cool.

But considering the surrounding temperature, soaking in it is still not comfortable.

This is one of the reasons why Aiwen didn't let Hermione come over. On the coldest night in January, diving into the dark and cold lake, and coming into contact with ugly and even scary mermaids was not a pleasant experience. .

Given a choice, he'd rather curl up on a sofa next to the cozy fire in the common room, reading a book quietly.

Ivan shook his head, took a last look at Hermione standing on the shore, turned over, and plunged into the depths of the lake.

There was silence in his ears, and he swam around in a dark and hazy strange scenery with ease, avoiding the places where giant squid often haunted and the large aquatic plants that lurk the water monster Grindylo, and swam to the mermaid village at the bottom of the lake go.

The mermaid tribe is very lively tonight, it seems that some sacrificial activities are being held, and the mermaids all come out of the rough stone dwelling.

When Aiwen approached, he saw more than two hundred mermaids all gathered on the circular square in the middle of the village.

Dressed in rare regalia, they all held long furs, and their iron-grey skins were painted in strange patterns with dye.

As in the impression, the murlocs slapped the lake water with their thick and powerful silver tails from time to time.

The dark green hair is long and disheveled, but there are decorations made of shells, coral and pearls in the hair, pebbles strung with thick ropes around the neck, and the same is true on the body, covered with various decorations Taste.

They were talking about something, bubbling non-stop, as if waiting for something.

Aiwen landed on the edge of the circular square, took out the various items that Lupine gave him from the cloth bag, and placed them at the bottom of the lake.

While eavesdropping on the merfolk's conversation, he wondered what they were doing.

Noticing Aiwen's appearance, many mermaids showed a hint of joy on their faces.

It didn't take long for mermaids to start trading with him.

They selected the items they liked from the things Ivan brought over, and then returned to their home and moved out piles of materials for exchange.

The whole exchange process was quick and easy beyond imagination.

The mermaids didn't bargain at all, and the materials they gave Aiwen were of high value and in large quantities, far exceeding the actual value of the items he brought. Browse and read the address:
