[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Chapter 35 Black Lake and Black Ship

The huge black boat is docked by the Black Lake, because it is the same color as the lake water, it is not very conspicuous.

"Of course the Black Lake must be equipped with a black boat!" This is the request of Jarvis, the president of the Explorers' Club.

Alice suspected that he just worshiped pirates. If it wasn't really inappropriate, Jarvis would have wished to hang the skull flag directly.But the current flag was voted by everyone, so he has no complaints.

Snakes spitting letters, eagles soaring, lions roaring, and badgers digging soil fill up the small banner.

"Looking at it this way, it's still Gryffindor's most majestic." Carrie complained, "It's all on one flag, and the lion really takes advantage."

when!when!when!

"It's eight o'clock, it's eight o'clock, hurry up and get on the boat!" Several Gryffindors got the big church bell from somewhere, and they rang together.

The gangway was temporarily extended with wooden boards. Although the appearance was a bit crude, Professor Flitwick made a move to ensure its quality.Even if all the teachers and students of Hogwarts stood up together, it would be intact.

This huge ship can be described as the brainchild of all the students. Who would not want to board the ship that they participated in and have an exciting adventure?

Unfortunately, places are limited.After all, Alice and the others really can't make a guide ship like a school that can safely carry all Hogwarts students.

"The decision will be based on the size of the contribution first, and the rest will be drawn." Alice made a final decision. In this case, drawing lots is the simplest and fairest way.She was lucky that there were two days in the weekend, and there was an adventure trip tomorrow, otherwise those unlucky students might tear down the auditorium.

The result of the lottery is in line with the principle of probability, and the final candidates have almost the same proportion as the four colleges.Hufflepuff has the most, followed by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, and Slytherin is the least.

However, although Slytherin has few people, it is still unwilling to lag behind and has become a landscape of its own.

Just like the boy in front of Alice, the neat green school uniform can see the gold chain of the pocket watch and the thimble inlaid with sapphires. It is not like going on an adventure, but like a vacation.

Furthermore, he carried two suitcases alone, making people wonder: Isn't it just a day on the boat?The ship doesn't even sail out of Hogwarts, so what?

"It's poverty that limits our imagination." Carrie said enviously. "It is said that he brought two sets of clothes and a dress. I don't know the other box. The black box with the levitation spell contained a whole set." tea set."

I'm sorry classmate, Alice can already imagine his expression after boarding the ship.After all, there is neither a hall where you can dance nor a dressing room where you can change clothes.There are two tables in the whole ship, which are shared by all, and should not fit his entire tea set.

But maybe this can't stop people at all, wizards still have transformation spells, don't they?

"Speaking of which, how do you know what's in the box?"

"Don't underestimate my information channels." Carrie raised her head proudly, "Didn't it be because of Pei... for some information a while ago? I also met some Slytherin friends."

Alice didn't continue this topic. Seeing that the people in front of her were almost gone, she hurried up to the gangway, and glanced at the ink-like lake water under her feet: "This lake water is really scary when you look closely."

"Of course, there are giant squid, Grindylow and mermaid colonies living in it." She didn't know much about serious knowledge, but Carrie was familiar with these rumors.

"I wonder if there is anything special about the giant squid besides its huge size, and whether there is a connection between size and lifespan for the giant squid." Alice thought of the information she had consulted before, and the giant squid was already black. The most common and common existence in Huzhong, no one has any innovative thinking on it.

Grindylow's introduction is particularly detailed, with horns, pale green body, green teeth and slender fingers. Although these fingers are quite powerful when grasping things, they are easy to break.

"The trick to getting rid of Grindylows is to make them unable to hold on to themselves." Alice repeated the contents of the book.

"Bah, bah, don't say bad words." Carrie hurriedly covered Alice's mouth, "Where's the mermaid? What do you think a mermaid is like?

"Actually, I didn't believe in mermaids until I knew about the existence of wizards." It can only be said that Alice was really a good boy who believed in science before, and those scientific papers were indeed very convincing.

In the Muggle world, there are two scientific theories about mermaids.

For one, the mermaid is actually a dugong.

The tail shape of a dugong is similar to that of a dolphin.It has a large head with the largest head-to-body ratio of any marine animal.

During the breastfeeding period, dugongs will swim in the shallow sea with their babies.The adult dugong is swollen, plump, and raised high. When it nurses its young, it will use its two fat pectoral fins to lift the young to the surface of the sea, because the young need to breathe when feeding.

The ancient sailors sailed on the sea for a long time, and they couldn't see the woman. When they saw it in dim light, they mistakenly thought it was a woman.So under the exaggeration of the legend, the dugong has the title of "mermaid".

Two, the mermaid is actually a white whale.

The abdomen of the belugas has well-developed muscle groups, and when it controls the abdominal muscles, it will show a structure similar to that of a human mermaid.These muscles will push the fat out of the beluga's belly, just like wrapping a human leg in a fish's tail.

With its human-like appearance and the beautiful voice of cetaceans, ancient sailors would naturally think of mermaids.

"Although there are indeed mermaids in the wizarding world, I think the Muggle's guess is reasonable." Alice patiently explained, "After all, only the wizarding world has mermaids."

"Long hair like seaweed, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood, she will sing to charm sailors at midnight, drag them into the water and eat them." Carrie directly ignored Alice's science, "This is The way a mermaid should be."

"There's nothing wrong with the second half. But isn't 'skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood' a description of Snow White?"

"Princesses are similar in fairy tales." Carrie has heard stories like this since she was a child. The princess is kind and beautiful, and the prince is equally handsome. After suffering, the prince and princess live happily together.

"I thought Peggy was the kind of person who grew up listening to fairy tales." Alice took the initiative to mention Peggy under Carrie's surprised eyes.Originally, when the matter was over, she didn't care about it, but people around her were careful not to mention it, which was really awkward.

"What do you mean? I once dreamed of a pink princess, but later I realized that being cute is not my style."

Draping the sheets on her body to fantasize about being a princess dress, stealing her mother's makeup, and being sad that she didn't have blond hair and blue eyes, Carrie's childhood life was so simple and unpretentious.

Alice also recalled the time when her grandmother was still alive: "I was different. I put the sheets on my body and fantasized about being a fairy godmother."

What's so good about being a princess, when 12:[-] midnight arrives, everything will return to its original state, even escaping is so hasty.But the fairy godmother is different, she can conjure skirts and crystal slippers by herself at any time.

"I actually think what you said makes sense, which is too strange!"

"It's really strange, so can the princess and fairy godmother in front please hurry up?"

Both Alice and Carrie froze at the familiar voice.Why did Professor Snape walk silently?Does he use "silent and silent" on the soles of his feet every day?

Alice was the quickest to react. She pulled Carrie, who was side by side, to her front with lightning speed: "Sorry, professor, we'll get out of the way."

Professor Snape stared at Alice for a while, then boarded the deck in silence.The two of Alice did not dare to make a sound, controlled the distance, and followed closely behind.

"I was scared to death." Carrie patted her chest when she saw Snape walking away, "My mind just went blank and I didn't dare to move."

"It's been four years, why are you still so afraid of Professor Snape?" Alice couldn't understand. Although Carrie's potion grades were not good, it was far from enough for Professor Snape to focus on, let alone He was punished by his superiors, but he was afraid of the professor for four years.

"Can't you feel it?" Carrie searched and scratched her stomach trying to describe, "It's that kind of aura, which makes people afraid and dare not approach. And you just acted uncharacteristically, not much better than me."

"Because I know that Professor Snape must be in a bad mood right now, and see me very upset." Alice replied calmly, "This is a rational and logical analysis, and has nothing to do with aura."

Remember what Headmaster Dumbledore said?There are professors to protect safety throughout the process.This candidate is Professor Snape.

Alice was very surprised by this, after all, she had guessed that it was Dean Flitwick.In fact the Dean had privately revealed his interest to Alice.

"It's a pity that I have a new research recently." Dean Flitwick shook his head regretfully, "Albus told me, after all, you are exploring, and sending a young professor will not spoil your interest."

This is the high probability of disappointing, because Professor Snape is absolutely not interested.Alice could guess that Professor Snape would definitely blame her for this matter, who told her to be the main producer.

"It's so pitiful." Carrie comforted her without sincerity, and stood away, "You'd better keep a little distance from me these few days, especially when Snape is around."

"Keep your distance?" Jarvis popped out of nowhere, "Our community members should be close and help each other."

Jarvis was wearing a pirate hat, and his right eye was a blindfold with the same skull pattern, which was matched with the original wizard robe. The visual impact was so great that Alice even forgot to refute that she was not a member of the club.

"Let's not talk politely." Jarvis approached Alice and the two, "It's rare to go on an expedition to the Black Lake. Are you satisfied with sightseeing on the deck?"
