A Hogwarts dissertation guide

They reached the eighth floor of the main tower. Once there, Hermione turned left and hurriedly walked in the direction of a tapestry.It was the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas the fool. Harry had passed by it several times, but he had never noticed anything unusual here.

Hermione was seen holding Harry's arm, and after walking through the wall for the third time, a very smooth door appeared.

"What is this place?" Harry asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, Hermione..."

"What's wrong?" Hermione turned to look at him, "You'll know when you come in."

"I think I know what's going on."

"No, you don't," Hermione said firmly as she dragged Harry into the Room of Requirement, which was now completely transformed into a large bathroom.

Of course, this is a very luxurious bathroom. A luxurious chandelier with candles casts a warm and soft light into the room. Everything is made of snow-white marble, including the bathtub sunk into the ground in the middle. It's like a rectangular swimming pool.There were about a handful of golden faucets beside the bath, and the handle of each faucet was inlaid with a gem of a different color.There is also a diving board.

Snow-white linen bed curtains were hung on the windows, and a pile of fluffy white towels were placed in the corner. There was only one painting hanging on the wall, set in a gilded picture frame. The painting showed a blond mermaid sleeping on a rock. De Zhengxiang, her long hair brushing her face, trembling slightly with every breath she took.

"Hermione...what do you want to do?" Harry stammered. Of course he wouldn't think that Hermione invited him to take a bath with him, but why did they come to the bathroom?

"Of course I want to show you this." Hermione said, sitting on the edge of the bathroom, reaching into the water, and fished out a golden egg from the foam floating on it.

"This is the first golden egg obtained from the project!" Harry said in surprise, "Why is it here?"

"I've been in the library, you know - it's not important. What's important is that I think this must be some kind of prophecy, and it's about the second project." Hermione said firmly, and the golden egg was melted. In the water, it didn't make the same painful scream as before. Instead, a whimpering song sounded, but Harry couldn't hear it clearly.

"I have unlocked the secret of the second project, Harry." Hermione said, looking into Harry's eyes. "You know what that means, right?"

"Of course," Harry swallowed, "I just didn't expect you to untie it so quickly."

"We must be prepared. The competition will definitely become more and more difficult." Hermione shook her head and said, "Although I have unlocked the secret of the golden egg, I haven't thought of the specific content of the second project yet."

"What is this?" Harry said, pointing to the golden egg soaked in the water. "I mean - why is it soaked in the water?"

"Do you know how many books I searched in the library to crack the secret of the golden egg, and finally found the relevant content." Hermione said quickly, "First of all, I think that scream It must be a language, and I'm glad I'm on the right track. I compared the languages ​​Dumbledore knew with the books in the library, and I could quickly come to a conclusion."

"So what kind of animal language is this?" Harry asked with a strange expression. "Who would use screams as a language? Do they endure pain all the time?"

"I'll have to explain this to you slowly. I found this in the library." Hermione sank the golden egg into the water, which forced Harry to rush over to catch it. "Mermaid: Language and A Comprehensive Guide to Customs, by Dylan Marwood. I'm so glad I found the right answer after only flipping through about 8 books."

"But why did you start with a language that Dumbledore mastered?" Harry asked doubtfully.

Hermione placed the book on the edge of the bath, "Because of the content of the competition, it is necessary to ensure that the warriors can get enough information to be fully prepared."

"So, you think wizards must have mastered that language?"

"Yes, and it just so happens that Dumbledore is the wizard who knows the most languages." Hermione's eyes flashed brightly, "There is no doubt that I have found a loophole in the game. We only need to learn from Dumbledore." It is enough to attack someone, the school and the Ministry of Magic must ensure that everything is under their control."

Harry nodded, "So, the scream of the golden egg is actually the sound of the mermaid?" He hurriedly glanced at the cover of the book in Hermione's hand.

"Yes, I suggest you read this paragraph." Hermione opened the book in her hand and used the bookmark to quickly turn to the page she wanted Harry to see. "Mermaids are an intelligent species. They have the qualifications to become humans, but they actively reject this classification. The extent of their intelligence is unknown, but what is certain is that their intelligence is higher than that of most animals. Mermaids have their own The mermaid language can even create music, which is also the most common hobby of mermaids.

There is evidence that merfolk had a thriving culture, as they lived in highly organized communities, some using elaborate stone dwellings.In addition, they will also tame creatures such as Grindylow, horse-headed fish-tailed sea monsters, loba bugs, etc., and even use loba bugs as weapons.Mermaids also make jewelry and weapons, create sculptures and other artworks, and use gestures to complete basic communication..."

"Can you directly show me the most direct content? Or directly tell me what I should do?" Harry said impatiently, "Or let me sink my head in the water?"

"It's coming soon." Hermione said hurriedly, "Look here: Mermaid language is a language used by mermaids, suitable for use underwater. This language is very strange. If it is on land, this language will sound different. It’s sharp and harsh, but it’s no longer harsh underwater.”

"I see, I should sink my head into the water, since it can only be heard underwater." Harry summed it up directly and said.

"Well...that's right." Hermione nodded wordlessly.

"Okay." Harry put his head directly into the water, and at the same time, a strange chorus of voices sang in unison: "Look for us, where our voices sound,

We cannot sing on the ground,

As you search, think carefully about:

We stole your most beloved baby.

You only have an hour,

To find and recapture what we took,

After an hour here, all hope is gone,

It is completely gone, never to appear. "

Harry raised his head and emerged from the bubble-filled water.He shook his head, shaking his hair out of his eyes.

"Did you hear?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded, "We have to fight the mermaid and take away our treasure."
