Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 303 Let’s go and take a bath in the prefect’s bathroom.

Although she hadn't had time to study the specific meaning of these songs, Fleur had already turned pale.

No matter what the specific content of the competition is, the mermaid singing has now appeared in the prompt.

This shows that at least an important part of the game is related to mermaids.

Although the mermaid can surface, most of the time it stays at the bottom of the Black Lake.

Therefore, the warriors must at least undergo some kind of test at the lake, or even dive directly into the water.

In this cold weather, even just being splashed by the cold lake water is enough to bear.

And if you want to get down...Furong really feels that the organizer is planning a murder that does not require responsibility.

Looking at the large book spread out on the table, and then at the two golden eggs next to it, Furong swallowed involuntarily:

"Now let's go to the bathroom to get a basin of water and listen to the specific content of the song in the golden egg?"

"We don't have to worry," Harley shook her head, "I happened to think of a good place."

"I originally got the password and specific location of the girls' prefect bathroom from Angelina and the others, but I haven't used it yet."

"Speaking of which, I've never been to the prefect's bathroom. It's said to be extremely luxurious. There's even a bathing pool that's like a hot spring."

"We can go there and hear the meaning of the mermaid's song in the golden egg. It will definitely be good."

"And last time you invited me to Beauxbatons for a hot spring bath, I didn't express my gratitude."

Listening to Harry's words, Fleur couldn't help but recall her last experience at Beauxbatons, and her face instantly turned red.

Hermione glanced at the two of them slightly suspiciously, but didn't see anything wrong.

So she focused her attention back on the golden egg in her arms:

"Then go to the prefect's bathroom tonight. You two can figure out the competition items early so that you can prepare in advance."

"It's okay for me. I'll set off at 9:30 in the evening. Maybe I can go back to sleep before 1 o'clock."

Harley made the final decision,

"If it's too late, I can accompany Fleur to the Room of Requirement. My quilt can be extended by magic to cover two people."

…………

At nine-thirty in the evening, Harry and Hermione appeared on the sixth floor on time.

The fourth door to the right of the stupid egg glass silk statue on this floor is the washroom for all female prefects of Hogwarts, which is exactly opposite the fourth door to the left of the washroom for the male prefects.

The passwords of the two are also very interesting. The password for the boys' prefect's bathroom is always fresh pineapple, while the password for the girls' prefect's bathroom is always green pear.

According to some anecdotes of unknown origin, these two fruits have always been Hufflepuff's favorite fruits.

The painting at the entrance to the Hogwarts kitchen is the most obvious evidence. After all these years, the green pear on that painting is still the doorknob!

So when she built the bathroom, she specifically chose these two fruits as passwords for entering.

But Furong arrived a little late, and she also carried a small oil bottle behind her——

For some reason, Gabrielle also came with Fleur.

"Sorry," Fleur immediately explained embarrassedly after lifting the phantom spell on her body.

"I originally thought Gabri was asleep, but I didn't expect that she wasn't sleeping at all and she followed her quietly."

"I only found her after I came in through the door you left, so I had to allow her to follow."

"Sister, who asked you to take a bath without me?" Gabrielle pouted at the side.

"You ask me to follow Ms. Maxim every day, but you are always clinging to Sister Hallie."

"Sister, you have changed! You don't take me to anything fun anymore!"

"It's okay. Gabrielle can follow if she wants."

The two half-breed Veela sisters seemed to be about to start a sermon here, and Harley quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Hurry in and quickly solve the problem about the golden egg."

…………

The prefects' bathroom at Hogwarts is indeed luxurious, even a bit luxurious.

The bathroom for ordinary students is just like the bathroom for Muggles. There is a bathroom inside and a sink for washing outside.

The bathrooms in the dormitories of each college have opened up separate larger spaces and installed showers for students to take a bath.

Other than that, there was nothing in the bathroom.

But the prefect's bathroom is different.

Under the ceiling, a luxurious candle-lit chandelier casts a warm glow into the room.

The floors and walls are made of snow-white marble, including the circular bathtub sunk into the ground in the center of the bathroom, which is also made of flawless marble.

This bathhouse looks very much like a swimming pool, especially since there is a diving board on the side, which makes people very suspicious of its function.

There is a window not far from the bath, but the glass of the window is enchanted, so you can enjoy the view of the Forbidden Forest from the inside.

If someone was riding a broomstick and wanted to look in from the outside, he would see Ms. Hufflepuff holding her wand and staring at him menacingly.

And if that person refuses to repent and wants to quietly open the window, then he will be doused with a large bucket of vinegar, and the vinegar smell all over his body will be fixed by magic. Unless he masters the cracking magic, the vinegar smell will not disappear within three days. disappear.

The windows were closed at this time, and the linen curtains, which were as white as the walls, were also drawn.

A pile of fluffy white towels were neatly stacked in a basket next to the window, and an empty basket next to it held used dirty towels.

There are about 100 gold and silver faucets beside the bathtub.

The handles of these faucets are also inlaid with gems of different colors and engraved with animals symbolizing the four colleges, which fully reflects the opulence of Hogwarts.

The only thing that makes people curious is that I don't know why there are so many faucets here.

Even if the twelve female prefects and the female student council presidents do not overlap, and the captains of the Quidditch teams of the four houses at the same time all happen to be female, there are only seventeen people in total.

Harry seriously doubted that even if these people came to this bathroom at the same time, could they use so many faucets at the same time?

After thinking about it, Harry seriously suspected that when the prefects' bathroom was built, the wizard who presided over the construction received a kickback.

Wait, the person responsible for building this place is Hufflepuff, and Hufflepuff also provided the money.

That's okay, I can only say that Hufflepuff is really great, and she must have wanted to use this as a public bathroom for everyone, but some future generations mistakenly distorted her meaning!

But soon, Harley will understand the wonders of these faucets.

After locking the door and putting all their clothes in the basket on the shelf at the entrance, the four of them, all wearing only bathrobes on the outside and swimsuits on the inside, sat down by the bathtub.

Harry was originally reluctant to wear a bathing suit, but Fleur insisted that it would be better to wear it, and Hermione rarely agreed with her opinion, so Harry could only agree.

Following Angelina's instructions, Harley patted a brick next to the bath.

Suddenly, a burst of magical light flashed.

The originally empty bathhouse instantly sprayed out with water, and within five minutes, most of the bathhouse was filled.

Gabrielle jumped into the water excitedly, and regardless of Fleur's stop, curiously opened a few faucets on the nearest wall.

What quickly spurted out of the first faucet were pink bubbles as big as footballs, flying in the air;

The other faucet sprayed out crystal clear foam exuding the scent of jasmine. The foam was so buoyant that Gabrielle could even float after lying on it;

Some faucets even spurt out milk that smells like honey and lilies. I don’t know who is so genius and thought of preparing milk baths for girls.

Looking at the luxurious facilities, Harry thought that he should take a bath every day, and take Hermione and Fleur with him.

After all, taking a milk bath with lots of bubbles is very good for the body.

Harley sat by the pool, gently playing with the water with her white feet.

Her body suddenly swayed slightly and she slid into the water deftly, leaving only the golden egg and wand beside the pool, and a complete bathrobe that had been taken off at some point.

Fleur also dived into the water gently like a mermaid like she did in Beauxbatons.

The long silver hair spread out on the water, reflecting the candlelight, making it look silvery.

Hermione also wanted to imitate her two friends and enter the water like this, but unfortunately she just put her calves into the pool when she suddenly felt someone holding her feet.

Under the water, someone suddenly exerted force and pulled Hermione directly into the water.

This startled Hermione, and she didn't even have time to think before she wanted to struggle.

However, Harry emerged from the water and lifted a somewhat panicked Hermione out of the water.

"Hehe, last time at Beauxbatons, Fleur attacked me like this."

"It's a pity that your reaction is not as quick as mine, classmate He Min!"

Harry smiled mischievously, and at the same time put Lian on Hermione's... and used both hands dishonestly to use a low-level version of the stunt he had practiced among the noble ladies of Backlund.

(I think you all understand the comparison between Lieutenant General Disease and a certain Sequence Nine hunter lady, so I won’t go into details here.)

If it weren't for Fleur here, especially the nine-year-old Gabrielle, some of her actions were really inappropriate, and Harry would have been able to show off a wave of high-level strategies on the spot.

As for why Harley dared to be so bold... It can only be said that after more than three years of getting along, an old sea king like Harley still knows it well.

Hermione fought hard and finally broke free from Harry's dishonest clutches.

She glared at Harry angrily, but in the hazy environment filled with water mist, this glance was not lethal. Instead, it could be called the "gangster's excited look."

All four of them had already entered the water and had most of their bodies submerged in the water.

Except for Gabrielle who kept fiddling with the faucets, Harry, Hermione and Fleur were all leaning comfortably on the edge of the pool, enjoying the slightly warm water temperature.

Suddenly, two bubbles were pushed to Fleur's face and exploded.

Gabrielle giggled and made a face at her sister:

"It's such a fun place, but my sister doesn't want to bring me here. She wants to come secretly by herself! My sister is so mean!"

Furong couldn't stand this anger, and immediately swam over, wanting to educate her sister.

But Gabrielle opened more taps and kept blocking Fleur's progress with bubbles.

Suddenly, the entire bathhouse was filled with bubbles and echoed with laughter like silver bells.

After being attacked in the face by several bubbles one after another, Fleur seemed to be really angry.

She took a deep breath and dived straight in.

Before Gabriel could react, she was lifted directly out of the water and suspended in mid-air.

She still wanted to struggle, but she couldn't resist at all.

Fleur stared at Gabrielle in her arms, her voice slightly sullen:

"Gabriel! You started to be naughty after I didn't teach you for a while, didn't you? You want to be spanked again, don't you?"

Although Gabrielle managed her expression very well and turned pitiful in an instant, the expression on Fleur's face remained serious.

After all, Fleur has the best say in what Gabrielle's character is.

Finally, after being punished a little, Gabrielle was reluctantly forgiven by Fleur.

With Hermione's reminder, the three of them finally got down to business.

Harley's golden egg was carried into the water.

After taking a sharp breath, Harry, Hermione and Fleur dived down.

The golden egg was opened in the water, and what came out was no longer a sharp and harsh sound, but a sweet singing voice:

"Look for us, in our most iconic place."

"The earth, the forest, and the lake have conspired to steal your most precious treasure, and you need to get it back."

“The stargazers keep watch, the saints hold the keys, and the singers hold the map.”

"As you search, think carefully about the direction you are heading."

“The stargazer’s star will not guide you, the saint’s light will not shine on you, only the singer’s song will be your first guidepost.”

"You have twenty-four hours to find and take back your most precious treasure..."

After listening to the song, the four of them quickly emerged. Gabri watched her sisters all inhale and dive, so she followed the same example and got into the water.

"What does this mean?" Furong asked eagerly as soon as she came out of the water.

"I'm more concerned. Does this mean we don't have to go into the water?"

"After all, the land, forests and lakes, it sounds like the lakeside doesn't take up that much, does it?"

"Maybe we just need to get...certain items at the lake?"

"Of course... no." Harley ruthlessly destroyed Fleur's fantasy,

"What are you thinking about? In fact, this puzzle is very simple..."

Before Harry could continue speaking, Fleur gave her a hard hit with the ball in swimming pool volleyball:

"Don't say it! Let me think for myself!"

Hermione on the side took a step slower, but also stared at Harry angrily.

When her eyes moved slightly to the object on the side of Harry's face, her eyes suddenly became wider and her anger became even greater.

No comparison, no harm! Damn it!
