After class, Luofu walked along the corridor towards the Black Lake.
Shirley seemed a little worried and followed her.
Walking on the road, the young man said softly: "It's okay, it's definitely not a prank. Professor Snape won't trick me into going to the Black Lake with nothing to do. This kind of trick is too low-level."
"It's more worrying if it's not a prank!" Shirley wrinkled her nose and said, "Professor Lockhart is marrying a mermaid, why do you need to be the best man?"
"Do you believe this?" Rolf laughed dumbly and said: "Shirley, Professor Snape lies a lot. You can only listen to half of what he says. Don't believe him.
Dumbledore should be waiting for me at the Black Lake, but there is no best man matter at all."
"Is that so?" Shirley glanced at Rove in surprise. She frowned and said, "How could Professor Snape talk nonsense like that?"
Luo Fei raised his legs and crossed the steps, stretched out his hands to block the dazzling sunlight, and laughed softly: "You are so stupid, sooner or later you will be deceived."
The girl with the ponytail pursed her lips, then suddenly smiled. She stretched out her fist and shook it gently: "Isn't there still you?"
The two of them walked across the lawn towards the Black Lake, and met Hagrid on the way. He was mowing the grass, but he had a frown on his face, without any smile on his face.
"Hey, Hagrid." Rolf greeted and asked, "Need any help?"
"No, it's a small problem, Rolf." Hagrid picked up the pile of grass that he had trimmed. He suddenly remembered something and glared at the two of them:
"Why are you two going? It's too dangerous recently, so you're not allowed to run around at will."
"No, Professor Snape asked us to find Professor Dumbledore." Rove explained: "Did you see him?"
"Oh, Dumbledore." Hagrid thought for a moment and said, "I just saw him walking alone by the Black Lake."
"Okay, thank you." After making sure it was not a prank, Rolf asked softly: "Hagrid, what's wrong with you? You look gloomy."
Hagrid hesitated. He glanced around and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you two, you must not tell anyone else."
Both Rove and Shirley nodded.
"I raised a very small and cute spider in the Forbidden Forest a long time ago and named it Aragog."
Rolf raised his eyebrows. How come Hagrid's description is so different from the Acromantula? Are they very small and cute?
What a cute hammer!
"But just before Christmas, Aragog was captured by the wizard." Hagrid said in a depressed mood: "Now his whereabouts are unknown."
Of course Aragog was captured by Rolf, but it was hard to tell him, so he had to be careful and said: "Do you know who captured him?"
"I don't know, but Aragog's children told me that he was a young wizard and a centaur." Hagrid sighed and said:
"That young wizard still claims to be my friend."
"Since I said he is your friend, I will probably send him back soon." Luofu comforted him.
"But I'm worried about poachers." Hagrid said worriedly:
"Aragog is very old and has eye problems. I am really worried about his safety."
"Then are you asking about the centaurs tribe?" Luofu asked again: "Aren't there still centaurs?"
"Hey, the centaurs tribe is under martial law recently, didn't you know?" Hagrid said with a serious face:
"At Christmas, it is said that a car passed through the Forbidden Forest and hit Bain, breaking several of his ribs.
The centaurs are very hostile to wizards now, so you'd better not go to the Forbidden Forest recently."
"..."
"I understand, thank you for the reminder." Luofu nodded.
After saying goodbye to Hagrid, they continued walking towards the Black Lake. Shirley whispered: "What should we do with the Acromantula in the box?"
"After treatment, we will release him into the Forbidden Forest." Luofu thought for a while and said:
"Only Aragog can control the Acromantula group, but it won't live for a few more years. We must find an Acromantula in advance who can control the Acromantula group."
They soon arrived at the Black Lake and saw a giant squid lying in the warm shallow water basking in the sun from a distance.
Professor Dumbledore stood aside and gently played with its tentacles. The squid seemed to feel a little comfortable being touched.
After hearing the footsteps, the old man turned around and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, it seems that Professor Snape conveyed my words... I was just wondering if he would pretend to forget."
"Although Professor Snape has not forgotten it, he still made some changes to your words." Rolf took advantage of Snape's absence and quickly complained:
"He said that Lockhart is getting married to a mermaid and needs me to be the best man."
Dumbledore laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "Nothing, but I do need you to go to the Murloc Tribe with me."
"What are you going to do?" Luofu asked curiously.
"A mermaid in the mermaid tribe is sick, and their therapist is helpless and wants to ask me for help." Dumbledore said softly:
"I just thought of you, Rolf."
"Professor Lockhart fell into the Black Lake and was caught by a mermaid. If he can be cured with help, the mermaid leader is willing to let Professor Lockhart go," the old man explained slowly.
"No problem, but whether it can be cured or not will only be known after seeing the patient."
As a professional veterinarian, of course Luofu would not refuse a mermaid patient. He hesitated and asked: "How do we get to the bottom of the lake?"
"Take this big guy." Dumbledore pointed to the giant squid lying in the shallow water basking in the sun. His beard trembled slightly and said, "It will take us to the bottom of the lake."
Both Ralph and Shirley looked at the squid, which sprayed a large ball of ink into the air, like a firework.
"If there's no problem, let's set off now." Dumbledore jumped onto the squid in one step, followed closely by Rolf and Shirley.
Under Dumbledore's order, the giant squid swam towards the center of the lake, and then slowly sank.
The principal waved his magic wand again, and the three of them were wrapped in a large ball of bubbles and dived underwater.
The giant squid dives deeper and deeper, swimming toward the center of the lake. The light gradually dims, and the surrounding lake water looks dark and hazy.
There were many fish in the water, swimming from a short distance away. Rolf and Shirley sat on the backs of the squids, looking at the lake water as if they were in an aquarium.
Soon, a large group of mermaids appeared, but none of the mermaids dared to approach the squid they were chasing. They just followed them from a distance.
After a long time, the squid finally reached the bottom of the lake deep enough.
There is a small mermaid village, full of rough stone dwellings speckled with algae.
Merkus, the mermaid leader, was standing in the square, waiting for the three of them to arrive. After she saw the big squid, she quickly waved:
"play music!"
