Hogwarts becomes host

256. Let’s swing the oars



"Why can you see it?" Sirius was very embarrassed. As an adult wizard, he didn't notice it at all. "I can't feel anything"

"Because we are professors." Dumbledore said briskly, "Magic will always leave traces, and powerful wizards have obvious personal styles. Horace and I taught Lord Voldemort for seven years and were very impressed by him. ──It’s time to go, don’t you mind getting your clothes wet?”

"I mind, I mind very much." Elaine replied instantly, curling her lips, "We can't take a boat or ride a broom over."

"Where did the ship come from?" Harry asked with a puzzled expression. "Even if you use the transfiguration spell, you still need the raw materials."

Harry was speechless as he looked at the five or six thick pieces of wood that Elaine took out from the wristband.

"I don't recommend doing this. There are many reefs under the sea, and you will capsize." Dumbledore looked around and said, "And there is magic interference around. If you use a broomstick to get in, you may lose power halfway through. Well, It doesn’t matter if you really want to try it, it doesn’t matter if you fall into the water and swim in.”

""

"Think it over and it's time to leave. Follow me."

The old headmaster turned his neck, put the wand in his mouth, and slid from the pebbles into the sea. They watched Dumbledore swimming toward the red light with a skilled and perfect breaststroke posture. Sirius, Ron, and Harry They quickly followed into the water, leaving Hermione, Elaine, Daphne and Slughorn staring at each other on the rocks.

"If you have to swim there, why do you ask us if we don't mind getting our clothes wet?" Elaine pressed her head and complained, "Damn it, is there any other way?"

"You can't swim?" Hermione asked curiously.

"How could you not just want to get your clothes wet?" Elaine defended angrily. "It's wet and sticky on my body. It's cold and uncomfortable. Anyway, I won't go into the water."

Well, Elaine is confident that her doggy style is probably as good as Dumbledore's breaststroke.

It’s just that the doggy style is too strenuous and wet clothes are really uncomfortable, so I can’t do it.

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Slughorn scratched his scalp with little hair in distress. "The magic interference around him is too serious. The broomstick will malfunction, and the ship transformed by the transformation spell will probably return to its original state."

"Can defensive spells resist magic interference?" Daphne asked.

"If there are really as many Inferi inside as Elaine said, it's best not to waste magic power on such a trivial matter." Slughorn warned them. "But it's too difficult for an old man to swim such a distance. I'll cut these wood into planks. It should be easier to swim across them."

"I don't need it." Hermione shook her head and pointed to a small dot on the sea. That was Sirius who was greeting them in the water. "Hurry up and follow everyone. I'll go there first, so hurry up."

Soon, Hermione went into the sea and swam away with a normal freestyle.

"Okay." Seeing Hermione like this, Daphne sighed resignedly, "Please help me get a board. I rarely swim."

"No need, no planks are needed." Elaine said with a stern face, "I will directly make a boat by exchanging the virtual and the real."

"Swap between virtual and real is not possible." Slughorn was stunned and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Didn't you listen to what Dumbledore said? There are reefs nearby, and there is also magic interference - your magic will be ineffective, and the virtual and real swap requires magic. The power is too─”

"I just have to force my way through, and compete with demonic power. No one in this world can win me."

In the gap deep in the cliff, there is a dark and narrow passage, which is very humid inside.

The water level dropped when they swam here, so Harry and the others simply got up and walked instead.

At present, the water has only reached half of their belly, but looking at the water marks on the rock walls on both sides, 80% of them will be filled with sea water when the tide rises.

The heavy wet clothes and the silent and cold air hindered their progress. Several children were shivering from the cold. Ron shook his hands and tried to call out the flames to keep warm, but the spell failed. There was strong magic interference in the secret passage.

However, Dumbledore seemed unaffected. He led the way calmly as usual, and finally they stepped onto the steps and entered a gloomy and oppressive cave.

"There is no doubt that this is the place." Dumbledore said briefly. "The walls have been enchanted and are the traces left by the Dark Lord."

He stood in the center of the cave, held his wand high, and slowly wandered in circles in the cave, carefully examining the rock walls and cave ceiling. Sirius and Hermione tried to make everyone warmer, but it was no use. The magical interference here was very powerful. They could only make some small sparks or one or two warm breezes.

"Where's Elaine?" Harry's teeth kept chattering and he asked, "She, they are so, so slow."

"No, I don't know." Hermione frowned and said worriedly, "It should be later."

Her voice became lower and lower, because soft singing came from the secret passage.

Let's paddle together

The boat pushes the waves

The sea reflects the beautiful white tower

Surrounded by green trees and red walls

""

They watched in silence as a small boat slowly approached.

Elaine was sitting leisurely on the bedside singing, while Daphne in the middle was listening quietly.

Behind him, Slughorn was sweating profusely while paddling.

The boat floats gently in the water,

A cool wind blows

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Harry and Ron sneezed violently.

If sight could kill, Elaine would be dead.

Emoticon package hahahahaha, every time I sing the line about wind, the wind will rise, it makes me laugh to death.

If they could understand the lyrics, they would probably want to dismember the host hhhh

Tsk tsk, Hermione has grown a lot. You can’t tell it when she wears robes, but now

Actually, I like the Pirates of the Caribbean song better, but it’s a pity that the Black Pearl is too big to get in.

You can also go to the Lake of the Inferi below in this way, right?

Even though the water level was very low, the boat still rushed right up the steps.

This kind of ship, which is completely constructed by magic power, is more similar to a hovercraft than an ordinary displacement ship. It can move freely by consuming magic power.

The reason for paddling is purely due to the lyrics of this song.

The three people got off the boat one after another, but Elaine still resisted everyone's attention and slowly finished singing before letting the boat disappear.

This is a kind of respect, respect for the music and the music itself.

"Didn't you say there was magic interference?" Sirius asked with a strange look on his face.

"Yes." Elaine shrugged and explained, "So I put a defensive spell on the outside just like I protect the electrical appliances at home - as long as I keep replenishing the defensive spell before the interference invades the hull, the ship will not It will disappear, very simple.”

"It's not that simple," Slughorn said, dumbfounded. "It's an endless interference in all aspects. The level set by the Dark Lord only consumes your magic power."

"There is such a good method, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Ron complained faintly. "It's all intentional"

"You don't want to be bothered by me." Elaine replied confidently, "The exchange of falsehood and reality also takes time. Before I had time to say it, you walked away and blamed me."

"but"

Harry wanted to say something else, but Hermione rushed forward first, held Elaine's shoulders, forced her to face him, and asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, Harry and the others did get into the water very quickly. But as for me, I waited for you on the rock for a while."

"I didn't think about it until you jumped."

"I do not believe"

"Uh." Elaine scratched her chin and said, "Then I want to give you a chance to practice swimming."

"clear water like a spring"
