Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 544: Helena Ravenclaw

Chapter 544 Helena Ravenclaw

 Amid the cheers of everyone, Kyle dove directly into the lake with the Bubble Curse on his head.

Although the Head Bubble Curse allowed him to move freely underwater, it did not provide a speed advantage, so Kyle immediately took out his wand and used the transformation spell to transform himself into a pair of flippers.

 Swimming will be much faster this way.

The black lake was very large and bottomless. The further downstream Kyle went, the darker the light became. After identifying his direction through the stands on the water, he swam towards the middle of the lake.

Through the bubbles in front of me, the dark and hazy lake water seems to have an eerie color.

 The little fish swam gently and passed by Kyle, like sharp silver arrows.

But this is not an aesthetic picture, because in addition to small fish, there are many Grindylows in the lake.

 They hide in the dark places at the bottom of the lake, trying to attack every passing creature.

Kyle met two of them. Fortunately, he found them in time and stunned them with a magic spell before Grindylow's claws reached out.

 To deal with this kind of dark creature, a simple extraction spell can solve it, which can be said to be very easy... Of course, the premise is that there are only one or two, if it is a group, it is still a little troublesome.

Kyle speeded up and continued swimming forward.

 With only half an hour left, he had to find the right place as quickly as possible.

  Along the way, Grindylows kept jumping out of darkness or water plants, causing a lot of trouble for Kyle.

There was another one that tried to catch the bubble on Kyle's head. It also met the worst fate. It was knocked out of the water by the repel spell and landed somewhere unknown.

But just when Kyle shot away the Grindylow, a voice suddenly came from the quiet black lake.

 “You seem to be in some trouble…”

Kyle turned his head suddenly, only to see a vague, pearl-white figure floating next to him.

"You are...Ms. Gray from Ravenclaw?" Kyle said, his voice seemed a little dull after the bubble spell.

He never expected to see a ghost here, and it was the ghost of Ravenclaw.

Ms. Gray's ghost still looked melancholy. She circled around Kyle and then pointed.

 “You can go over there.”

 However, Kyle did not move, but continued to look at her doubtfully.

Seriously, if it were another ghost, whether it was the fat monk from Hufflepuff, Nearly Headless Nick, Myrtle, or Peeves, Kyle would have swam over there immediately without saying a word.

Because Kyle has dealt with them and is familiar with each other, it can be explained that those ghosts came to do a favor or something.

 But Ms. Gray...Kyle didn't remember any interaction with her, and he didn't even say a word to her.

And even the Ravenclaw students were like this. She just wandered around the castle aimlessly every day, paying no attention to anyone.

Kyle really couldn't figure out why she suddenly came out to help him... It couldn't be for the honor of Hogwarts. I'm afraid even Peeves wouldn't believe it.

"I overheard your conversation a few days ago...you and an invisible wizard."

Seemingly guessing Kyle's doubts, Ms. Gray immediately said: "I also heard you talking about my mother's crown...I want to know if that is true."

 “Your mother…”

"Rowena Ravenclaw," said Lady Grey. "I am her daughter. While I was still alive, my name was Helena Ravenclaw."

Hearing what she said, Kyle also remembered it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Ah, yes." He said quickly: "I found Ms. Ravenclaw's diadem."    "Can you tell me?" Ms. Grey, or Helena said softly: "I heard you mention To “fix it”… is the crown broken?”

“Sorry, I can’t explain this matter in one or two sentences, and...” Kyle pointed in the direction of the water, “I may not have extra time now.”

"Then wait until this competition is over." Helena said, "I'll wait for you in the castle."

Kyle nodded, and then swam in the direction of her finger.

 Because there was another delay, Kyle had to speed up again...

About ten minutes later, he heard intermittent shouting and a painful scream.

The lake water in front suddenly became turbid. Passing through a patch of water plants, Kyle saw a clearing with about a dozen mermaids on it. They were chasing a strange creature with spears and ropes in their hands.

 Its upper body is that of a horse, and its lower body is more like a fish. It is covered with broad-leaf cattail grass, which looks like a mane.

Horse-shaped water monster!

Is there still such a creature in the Black Lake of Hogwarts?

Kyle was slightly surprised, but he quickly came to his senses. After all, no one knew how big the Black Lake was and where it connected to the deepest part. It was normal for a horse-shaped water monster to appear.

The horse-shaped water monster in front of me probably came here accidentally and strayed into the territory of the mermaid, and is being hunted.

 A mermaid may not be an opponent of a kelpie, but facing a well-equipped and well-trained mermaid team, it would be difficult for the kelpie to gain any advantage.

It had several spears stuck in its body, and its front hooves and tail were tightly tied with ropes. Large swaths of blood gushed out from the wounds and scattered in the lake.

 In addition, there are many motionless mermaids around. Obviously, the mermaids also suffered heavy losses in trying to catch it.

Just as Kyle was thinking about it, the mermaids also noticed him, and several spears were instantly aimed at this place.

 “Who’s there…” The leading mermaid made a sharp sound.

He looks nothing like the mermaid in the castle portrait. He has yellow eyes, missing teeth, an iron-gray skin, messy hair, like a bunch of tangled water plants, and a thick rope tied around his neck. cobblestone.

"I am a student at Hogwarts, one of the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament." Kyle quickly explained: "I need to conduct a second project underwater. Professor Dumbledore should have told you."

The mermaid leader lowered his guard slightly and continued to turn his attention on the horse-shaped water monster.

"Wizard, this is not the place where they are trapped. You have to keep going. Come on, it's very dangerous here."

"I think I can help you." Kyle didn't leave, but swam a little further.

"The horse-shaped water monster is going crazy. If it continues like this, even if you can kill it, you will lose at least more than half of your men."

 “This is our responsibility, it’s none of your business.”

"I can help you." Kyle said again: "I have seen how Newt Scamander dealt with the horse-shaped water monster. You should know him."

According to his experience, mentioning Newt's name in front of intelligent magical animals generally works well, especially near Hogwarts.

as expected…

 “Scamander?”

Hearing this name, the mermaid leader turned his head again and looked at Kyle up and down.

“He helped us find this habitat and is an eternal friend of our tribe... Do you really know him?”

 “Of course.” Kyle said quickly. "I go to his house every holiday."

 He swam a little further, and this time, the mermaids finally stopped driving him away.
