Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 304: After all, it was Gabrielle who took all the responsibility

"Let me think about it... first of all, the singer should refer to the mermaid, referring to the mermaids living in the cold freshwater waters of the Black Lake."

Fleur was the first to make a judgment, "What about the Holy One and the Stargazer?"

"Stargazers... are probably centaurs?" Hermione frowned.

"There is an entire tribe of centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest. The centaurs like to observe the constellations so much, and this coincides with the forest in the second sentence."

"The mermaid corresponds to the lake, so the earth should correspond to the unknown saint..."

Fleur thought carefully while unconsciously curling her long silver hair that fell to her ears with her fingers.

"Are there any other races in the Forbidden Forest? Is it a race of magical animals or humanoids that are at least somewhat intelligent?"

"Let me think about it...the Thestrals, Hippogriffs, Acromantulas, and the migrated Fire Crabs and Manticores..."

"No, fire crabs have no IQ, they need to be eliminated..."

The more Hermione thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Fleur also opened her mouth slightly:

"Is the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts so outrageous? Are there no normal, less dangerous creatures?"

"You can't blame me." Hermione didn't know whether it was because she soaked in the water for too long or for some other reason, but there was a blush on her cheeks.

"Hagrid never brings normal magical animals to class, so I can only think of these most dangerous ones for the first time!"

"Wait... I seem to remember that there are some extremely friendly animals in the Forbidden Forest... holy... unicorns!"

Hermione slammed the water's surface, causing water to splash everywhere.

Gabrielle, who was listening eagerly to the chat between the three of them, was caught off guard and was splashed in the face.

Hermione apologized quickly and took a towel from the sink to help the little girl dry the water on her face.

At the same time, she did not forget to summarize:

"Unicorns are sacred and pure. They are even so pure that they only like the purest girls. (Nonsense, is this pure? Isn't this LSP?)"

"The unicorn possesses extremely powerful magical power and is at the top level among all magical animals. It can be called the darling of the earth and nature."

"Then the conclusion is very clear." Harley finally spoke,

"You've all finished speculating, let me sum it up."

"The second project is probably that the organizers will take away our precious treasures and carefully hide them as a sign of the completion of the second project."

"The stargazer who symbolizes the Forbidden Forest is the centaur who is responsible for preserving our treasures."

"And the holy unicorn, which symbolizes the earth, holds the key, which exactly corresponds to the lyrics." Fleur said affirmatively,

"Our treasure may be locked somewhere, and only a key can open the lock."

"As for the singer who symbolizes the lake, the mermaid, he probably holds the map of the Forbidden Forest." Hermione recalled the first sentence of the lyrics,

"And the so-called 'our most iconic place' in the first sentence should refer to the gathering place of these three ethnic groups."

"This is also where a map is needed. Although the gathering places of these three groups are not secret, few wizards deliberately understand these locations."

"In other words, our complete route is probably to dive into the black lake and find the map," Harley said softly,

"Then go ashore, first find the key to the unicorn gathering place in the Forbidden Forest, and finally go to the centaurs gathering place to snatch your treasure."

"As for the competition time, it is about twenty-four hours, and the final result is definitely that the faster the speed, the higher the score."

The three of them took Furong's golden egg and listened to it again.

The lyrics in Two Golden Eggs are exactly the same and no further discussion is needed.

After solving the puzzle, Fleur wanted to celebrate at first, but then she realized something and suddenly turned pale.

Although the fire dragon is also very dangerous, Fleur thinks she can come up with a solution even without the help of others.

After all, his hypnotic magic is a talent, very stable and credible.

But such a twenty-four-hour competition that requires passing through various environments is a bit difficult for Furong.

After all, her physical strength is really not enough, which is one of the weakest injuries.

When she first participated in the Magic School Potions Championship, Fleur also memorized the map in advance and chose the shortest route.

Moreover, the Magic Garden is a treasured land carefully managed by the Extraordinary Apothecary Association. There are not many dangers in it. At most, magical plants such as poisonous tentacles or exploding figs may cause harm to wizards.

Even then, she was exhausted in the end, not to mention the more difficult schedule and harsh environment now——

The water temperature of the Black Lake in this kind of weather is extremely low, which can quickly deprive those who enter the water of physical strength and warmth;

There are many kinds of magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, and they are far more dangerous than the Magic Garden.

"Don't worry, there is still a long time to prepare. I have already planned several feasible methods."

Harry comforted Fleur,

"Let us enjoy the warm water now and we will discuss other issues tomorrow."

"Sister Harley, have you finished discussing the business?" Gabrielle, who had been waiting for a long time, asked pitifully with a sad face.

"I've been playing with bubbles here for almost half an hour. Sisters, can you play with me?"

"Of course, sister has already finished her business."

Harry put the two golden eggs back on the shore, then stretched out, stretching his curves to his heart's content in Hermione's eyes that were mixed with envy and jealousy.

We are all at Hogwarts, we all eat the same food, and we are always inseparable. I am older than you, so why are you so talented! hateful!

"Let's soak it for another 20 minutes. Wizards' bodies are better than those of Muggles, but you can't soak them for too long."

Seeing that Fleur was still nervous, Harry couldn't help but laugh strangely, and suddenly pushed a few bubbles that flew to her side into Fleur's face.

Fleur came back to her senses, her face showed embarrassment, and she also fought back.

The tense atmosphere before disappeared, and the entire bathroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.

…………

Although both Hermione and Fleur wanted to shower as quickly as possible and go back to bed and get up early to go to the library tomorrow morning.

And since it was already so late, the witches didn't need to put on makeup for a long time after taking a bath, so they should be very quick.

But after all, there are two people who are holding back in this bathroom, causing trouble from time to time.

So I took this bath until 12:40 in the morning.

After taking a thorough shower, Gabrielle put aside the fact that everyone else was blushing, and their hands holding a towel to dry their sweat looked a little weak.

When black flames rose in Harry's hands, he kept stroking the long hair of others, and thoughtfully helped the other three witches dry their hair.

Half of this empty bathroom was occupied by all kinds of colorful bubbles exuding strange fragrances.

And it was so late that Beauxbatons' carriage would definitely not be able to return, so Fleur and Gabrielle had no choice but to stay at the Room of Requirement.

And Harley definitely couldn't let the guests live there by themselves, so naturally they needed to stay and accompany them.

Hermione didn't want to disturb the fat lady who was already asleep. After taking a bath, her whole body was soft and she didn't want to move at all. She had already tried her best to get back to the eighth floor.

So Harry simply made the Room of Requirement look like the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, with four people per bed, perfect.

Of course, the bed can be moved, easily with the wave of a magic wand.

And everyone is a witch, so they don’t have to pay much attention to it.

When the bed is very small, it makes sense to push the beds together to increase the available space.

The next morning, despite sleeping very late yesterday, Gabrielle climbed out of bed early in the morning.

However, the little girl's tutor was very good. Although she was still a little confused and didn't wake up completely, she still kept quiet.

She looked around and found that the surrounding layout was not familiar to her at all. She remembered that she was not spending the night in Beauxbatons' carriage and recalled what happened last night.

Gabrielle suddenly became interested, and tiptoed over her sister who was sleeping on the outermost side, and stepped on the floor with her bare feet.

She looked here and there, studying everything in the room, but soon lost interest.

After all, this is just a temporary dormitory, without much decoration.

Finally Gabrielle chose to go back to bed.

She quietly climbed over her sleeping sister and lay next to Harley.

With a serious expression on her face, she counted Harley's eyelashes seriously.

But soon, the little girl discovered that her eyelashes were not easy to count.

So she changed her goal and counted the times that Harry's chest rose and fell as she breathed.

Harley had already spotted the little girl when she approached him.

But Harley didn't stop him and chose to pretend to sleep.

When Gabrielle was concentrating all her attention, she inadvertently looked up, and met Harley's suddenly opened eyes.

Gabrielle was startled and sat back, almost falling off the bed.

Fortunately, Harley's long hair spread instantly and forcefully caught Gabrielle and lifted her up from the ground.

The movement also woke up Fleur and Hermione.

After understanding what happened, it goes without saying that Gabrielle was taken care of by Fleur again.

The four of them had breakfast soon, and Harry wanted to send the Delacour sisters back to the carriage.

Ms. Maxim seemed to have gotten up early in the morning and stood in front of the car window staring out the window.

Apparently, she had discovered that a certain pair of half-Veela sisters had sneaked out last night and stayed away all night.

When she saw that it was Harry who had sent Fleur and Gabrielle back, Ms. Maxim was visibly relieved.

Fortunately, it wasn't some little brat who attracted her favorite student to stay up all night, but it was all sisters. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain it to the Delacours.

…………

After being interrogated by Ms. Maxim, Fleur barely escaped.

After all, it was to crack the secret of the golden egg and for the honor of Beauxbatons. Ms. Maxim said she could understand.

But Gabrielle who sneaked out suffered a disaster. After all, she was responsible for everything.

Having just been interrogated, Fleur returned to Hogwarts.

Although Harry could provide a very useful method, Fleur still wanted to do some planning on her own first.

After all, it is rare to participate in such a grand six-wizard competition, so you have to learn something from it, right?

So Fleur continued to hang out in the library, and at the same time she didn't forget to drag in the warm-hearted Hermione.

Time passed by unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, there was only one week left before the Christmas holiday.

In the last Thursday's Transfiguration class of the semester, Professor McGonagall ended the most difficult course of the entire semester - Biological Transfiguration.

After putting all the guinea fowls turned into cages, Professor McGonagall did not directly announce the end of get out of class.

She looked at the students in the entire classroom calmly and cleared her throat:

"As you all know, after classes end this week, it's Christmas break."

"The original Triwizard Tournament had a traditional project, which was to hold a Yule Ball on the night of Christmas, from eight o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock in the evening."

"This is also a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. You can invite them to dance together."

"Of course, the Six Wizard Tournament also inherits the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, and there won't be many changes."

“So the prom will be held as normal and, as is customary, will only be open to students in fourth grade and above.”

"Of course, if you are willing, you can also invite lower-grade students, although I personally don't want you to invite little wizards who are too young."

Having said this, Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone in the class with a serious look, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Don't be so nervous, it's a happy day, isn't it?" Professor McGonagall suddenly laughed,

"You can wear your most beautiful ceremonial robe. Of course, other styles of gowns are also acceptable."

"Invite the people you want to invite the most, and on that night - well - relax yourself and relieve the fatigue caused by studying."

Listening to Professor McGonagall's words, the students couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lavender and several other girls covered their mouths with their hands to prevent the sound from coming out.

Not sure if he thought of something good, Lavender turned and muttered to Parvati.

Professor McGonagall glared at the two of them, but for the first time did not stop this obvious violation of classroom discipline.

Amidst the murmurs, someone raised his hand: "Professor McGonagall, are there any restrictions on the number of dance partners we can invite?"

"No," Professor McGonagall shook her head.

"As I said before, you can even invite lower-grade wizards."

(Thanks to the boss of "Yingkong￥Tears" for the tip!)

(ps. There was a little problem with the time, because the specific time of the original work was a bit confusing. As a result, the author confused the real calendar and the correspondence between the date and week of the original work. In addition, there were some gaps and the calculation was not done well, so I finished writing. Only later did I realize that an extra week or two had been added out of thin air. Damn it.)

(Please forgive this little mistake, woo woo woo.)
