It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 317
Harry's mind was in a mess.

Although he knew very well that he couldn't act rashly now, he couldn't help but think about those messy things.

It was very dark around him, he could hardly see anything, but the mermaid who was holding him seemed to be very familiar with the dark underwater environment, he didn't run around like a headless fly, but was looking for it very purposefully. wearing something.

The uncomfortable feeling of breathing through his gills, as well as the lingering pain in the back of his neck, made Harry wake up quickly.

Now he doesn't have time to guess who is attacking him. Even if he guesses it, he will be a fool at most, and it will have no meaning to the ending.

He must find a way to get out of trouble and return to the surface from the bottom of the lake.

Harry didn't know why the mermaid didn't kill him directly while he was unconscious, but took him underwater all the time, but he knew clearly that the time for the gills was coming!

It is uncomfortable to breathe with two gills now, but if the gills grass fails, then he will drown directly in the water without other people's hands.

As for whether to compete or not, he certainly has no mood to think about it so much.

Harry tried his best to calm his mind and not let himself be too nervous, and then slowly retracted the other arm that was still movable into his sleeve.

I don't know if the mermaid was too big-hearted, thinking that Harry would never wake up halfway, or if he forgot to collect the wand. As long as there is a wand in hand, Harry has no chance of fighting back.

He quietly clenched the wand hidden in his cuff, and then he did not act rashly, but waited silently.

The mermaid dragged his arm and kept moving forward against the underground mud. Harry was behind him. At the same time, because he was looking for something, he didn't pay attention to Harry behind him.

This creates the perfect sneak attack environment for Harry.

About 30 seconds later, the mermaid named Leach seemed to have found his target. His figure paused slightly in the water, and then began to swim forward at an accelerated speed.

And Harry was waiting for this moment!
He suddenly stretched out the hand that had been secretly clenching the wand, aimed at the mermaid in front of him, and chanted a spell while waving the wand!

"Passed out!"

Harry opened his mouth, but only a few blisters came out of his mouth. Even if he could use his gills to breathe underwater, he couldn't speak normally.

But even if no sound came out, the Stunning Spell still worked.

A red light flickered on the tip of his wand, but as soon as the spell shot out from the tip of his wand, Leach let go of the hand that was holding Harry's arm extremely quickly, and the half-fish half-human body twisted If he didn't move, he accelerated forward, dodging the stun spell.

The water flow driven by waving the wand in the water made Leach, who had been living underwater, aware of the abnormality in advance. With such a prediction, he was able to successfully escape the stun spell at such a short distance.

After all, Harry was still young, and after the blow failed, he acted a little flustered, subconsciously swaying his body and wanting to float to the surface in order to seek help from the professor.

But Leach obviously won't let him like this.

After successfully dodging Harry's first spell, he immediately used his flexibility in the water, which was far superior to Harry's, to get close to Harry's body again, trying to reach out and snatch the wand in his hand.

Although mermaids are magical creatures, their strangeness is only reflected in the fact that they can live in water and have some magical power in their songs. Others are no different from normal humans, and they cannot learn orthodox magic. Worse than house-elves and goblins.

But in water, their natural advantages are unmatched by other races.

Harry also discovered his mistake at this time. It is undoubtedly the worst choice to escape directly under the water in front of a mermaid. Now that Leach is close to him, Harry even lost the chance to cast a spell.

The two fought over the wand in Harry's hand.

Not only was Harry in the water at a disadvantage, he was only 15 years old and still growing, and he didn't compete with an adult fish like Leach in terms of strength at all.

The entanglement between the two lasted less than 2 minutes, and Harry's wand was successfully taken away by Leach, and his whole body was regained control.

Harry, who was in a desperate situation, was almost desperate.

During the whole process, Leach looked at him blankly, as if he was looking at a dead body.

The mermaid raised the fork in his hand again, trying to knock Harry unconscious again.

He didn't seem to intend to kill Harry, otherwise Harry would have had several more holes in his body during the fight just now.

And at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly covered the few rays of sunlight that could penetrate the dark lake surface.

Leach and Harry looked up subconsciously.

At the same time, they saw countless thick tentacles full of suckers hanging down!

The giant squid that had been living in the black lake stretched out its tentacles, wrapped them around the two of them at an extremely fast speed, then forcibly separated them, and swam directly to the surface of the water.

After seeing this squid, Harry's heart was completely relieved.

Every Hogwarts student knows that the giant squid living under the water is a gentle and friendly creature. One of the things that George and Fred like to do most is to come to the Black Lake This squid is fed bread.

If a new student falls into the water while crossing the lake, it will enthusiastically use its tentacles to straighten the boat, and then rescue the new student back to the boat.

This terrifying-looking creature gave Harry a great sense of security at this moment.

On him, the gills grass also gradually lost its effect. Judging from the current time, if the other three players went well in the competition, they should have rescued the hostages.

Now Harry can only secretly hope in his heart that Fleur or Cedric can show kindness and rescue Ron by the way. As for the competition results, he has no time to think about it.

Just when the gills on both sides of his face disappeared completely, and his nose regained the ability to breathe, the squid brought him and the mermaid Leach to the surface of the water, allowing Harry to breathe the fresh air on land!

From a distance in the lake, he could see that the shore was crowded with people, and the scene looked very chaotic. But as the squids kept approaching the lake shore, Harry shouted and waved his hands, and finally someone found it he.
