023 After the Christmas Ball

It was Christmas Eve - Lawrence replied, he met Dunbulido's glittering blue eyes, unexpectedly, he saw a look of satisfaction on Dunbulido's face, Professor?

Ah, Dunbulido smiled and said, I think Professor Kakarov would definitely want to hear this news. His complaints made our judges' ears almost-

Hum──? The crazy-eyed man Moody roared in his usual tone. His magic eyes saw through the back of his head and were staring at Phoenix Fox's every move. I think you didn't let Rovande come to let him hear Kakarov's rumor, Albus.

Oh, okay, please sit, Lawrence Dunbulido pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said,

Snape stood straight at the desk without moving. The crazy-eyed man Moody took a few steps back and stood tilted against the bookshelf. Lawrence thought he might think that this would allow him to completely monitor the situation of the entire principal's office without having to go through the back of his head. Dumbledore sat back in his seat. He thought for a while before speaking.

We have learned about the performance of each warrior in the lake through the Mermaid, Dumbledore said, but we hope to get clearer information from you.

The performance in the lake? Lawrence frowned. He didn't know what Dumbledore wanted to know.

To be precise, Dumbredo clearly stated that if you can, it is best to start after the first mission, and I am curious why you didn't use gill cyst.

After the first mission? Well──Okay, I thought, I knew the secret of the Golden Egg on the day of the first mission. Lawrence said that the sound of the mermaid was not difficult to recognize on the shore. At midnight that day, I went to the senior bathroom and listened to the entire prompt-

You hear this, Professor, Snape narrowed his eyes and stared at Lawrence, midnight?

After knowing that he was about to enter the Black Lake, Lawrence was too lazy to pay attention to Snape's interruption. At first I didn't care too much until-

Until your wand is closed to its strength? Dumblido asked softly,

Yes, Lawrence briefly said, I started to try to cast spells without using a magic wand. It was okay at first, but once the spell was cast for a long time, or a spell that required concentration-

In addition to being tired, he also had headaches, right? Dunbulido smiled, as if he had listened to the ghost symphony all night at the ghost's death party.

Although I have never heard of the ghost symphony, it sounds horrible. Lawrence replied, I originally wanted to use the gill sac, but it caused some interference to me in casting spells. I think there would be no problem if there was a wand, but-

How did you get your gill sac? Snape is not polite to interrupt again, he asked in Lawrence's eyes,

What does it have to do with you? Lawrence stared back, and the two looked at each other for a while, until Dunbutel began to pretend to cough and Snape looked away, Lawrence continued, "Frey and George, we often order special materials. Gillworm grass is not a controlled item of the Ministry of Magic. Although it is a bit rare, it is not difficult to obtain if there is a pipe.

Hum--Snape snorted, agreeing with Lawrence's statement.

Well, I practiced a lot in the lake, and I know that in the lake, I quickly feel tired in order to breathe and keep warm, and I need to minimize the time in the lake as much as possible, so I used a simple trick to get to the center of the lake before entering the lake. Lawrence said,

The mermaid said, you almost confirmed the direction as soon as you entered the lake, and perfectly avoided the annoying little demons in the lake? Dunbulido asked,

I swim to places with many mermaids, and I can feel that they are there. I spent a long time in Black Lake for more than a month. Lawrence said, I can probably tell which mermaids and which are Grindellos by feeling. I also rely on this - feeling to avoid those Grindellos.

No one can do this by feeling, Rovande, the crazy-eyed man Moody roared, this is not an exact statement.

Feeling-Dunbulito repeated the word slowly, and nodded, Alasto, I think he has said it accurately enough, Lawrence, please continue.

Then I was attacked by the giant squid, Lawrence said that despite the spell assistance, I was not fast enough in the water, and I was forced to hide in the water grass, but it still chased me. Finally, I lured it to get close to the water grass before tied it up.

Let's make sure of one thing first, Dunbulido said, "You have never encountered them when you were practicing in the Black Lake before?"

Yes, Lawrence replied that they hardly appear in winter, and I thought they wouldn't be a level.

Level? Dunbulido showed a strange smile, but shook his head and signaled Lawrence to continue speaking.

After I got the giant squid, I quickly arrived at the mermaid settlement and found Luna until I sent her to the lake. I was dragged into the lake by the giant squid again. Lawrence said, I had no good idea this time, I cut off it and tied my tentacles, and then it ran away. Finally, I returned to the shore with Luna.

Is there anything different? Dunbulido thought for a while and asked, what was his slender fingers posing in the air, in your - well, feeling?

It is not like being blocked in the water, and it feels very unclear. Lawrence tried his best to explain. I thought--Ah, when attacking me, the eyes of the giant squid turned blue. When he escaped, his eyes turned back to a black and white look.

Lawrence finished speaking, the principal's office fell into silence. Dumbledore knocked on the table. Moody, a crazy-eyed man, coughed, then took out his bottle and took a sip.

I think things are obvious-Dublido said with a slightly serious expression,

Severus, I think you can prepare a recipe for your unique potion for headache treatment for Lawrence Dunbulido. Snape nodded, turned away with a cold face,

Alasto, please help me inform Ludo and Batty - or his assistant - Percy Weasley, and tell them the results of our investigation, where Mrs. Maxim and Professor Kakarov, I will inform them in person. After Dumblido said that, Moody left with a crazy eye, until the shiny oak door was closed again, Dumblido continued to speak,

OK, now we can have a good talk. In fact, the giant squid is not the level we arranged. Dunbulido said, looking at Lawrence's somewhat surprised expression, Dunbulido continued,

After you successfully completed the mission, we learned from the mermaid that your mission had passed. We were surprised that there was a giant squid in the mission. At first, we thought it was just an accident, but the news from the mermaids later made us realize that it was wrong. It was not until Harry and Miss Dragul came back that we fully realized that the four warriors were all harassed and even attacked to a certain extent - even attacked.

Judging from your experience with Miss Delakule, this is a rather dangerous and even possible fatal attack. Dunbulito's expression was very serious, and although there was no definite evidence that the giant squid was bewitched to attack the warriors, I personally think it was a planned attack.

Harry was forced to participate in the Triumph Championship, Lawrence inferred, maybe?

I can't be sure, in fact, Harry used the gill sac and successfully avoided the attack, Dumbledore said, and I think the person who bewitched the giant squid could not command the giant squid to accurately attack a target in the Black Lake. If this is an attack against Harry, it would be too rough.

Who do you think it is? Lawrence asked, is it the same person who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire?

I don't know, Lawrence, Dumbullydo said quietly, and some clues told me that Voldemort had left the Black Forest of Albania and I thought he was planning something.

Do you think he is planning to resurrection? Lawrence asked, Peter Pediru?

It’s not that Lawrence and Dunbulido looked at Lawrence, we were all sure he would come back, but I would try my best to make the later he would come back, the better.

OK, Lawrence, I noticed one thing-Dublido suddenly said in a brisk tone, your wand is before Christmas-

Well, Professor, Lawrence blinked and asked, why did Snape ask me how I got the gill cyst?

Hum? Dunbulido looked at Lawrence for a while, but did not continue to speak, but answered Lawrence's question. Snape told me that his private storage room in his office was stolen, and this time he stole the gill sac.

This time, Lawrence noticed the word,

Yes, it had been stolen before this - like the snake shed of an African tree snake. Dumblido said,

This semester, Lawrence thought that when he was in the fourth grade, Hermione, who was only in the second grade, successfully prepared a compound decoction.

Yes, this semester. Dunbulido said that he smiled, obviously thinking about the same thing as Lawrence,

They have no reason to prepare a compound decoction again, right? Lawrence said unsurely,

I'm not so sure, Harry used the Gills in the second mission, and Snape was sure that the Gills in the day of the mission, because he had just finished counting the materials in the morning, and Dunbulido looked a little tired. A few hours later, because of my request, he went back to the office to get the medicine for your headaches - that was made by me after the test wand was over, and he discovered that the office had been thieves.

Perhaps Harry's gill cysts were obtained from other places? Lawrence guessed,

Only Harry himself knew this. Dunbulido said this. At this moment, the midnight bell rang. Dunbulido smiled bitterly, Oh, my god, it's so late, let's get this today, Lawrence, remember to go to Professor Snape to get the recipe for the potion.

Lawrence just knocked on the door of Snape's office, and the door opened automatically, but he did not see Snape. There were several cabinets in the dark room, with glass bottles placed after glass, and liquids of various colors. Some of the organs of some animals emitted a slight fluorescent light.

On the desk was a glass bottle containing transparent liquid. Lawrence picked up the glass bottle. Then he felt someone approaching. Lawrence turned around and Snape walked out of the corner silently. Obviously there was another room in the office.

Put down that thing, that's not for you. Snape said coldly,

What is this? Lawrence asked,

Tell Porter that if someone enters my office and steals things, I will add a few drops to his breakfast. Snape terrorized,

You can try it, I promise Ritaskit will like this news very much, Lawrence's cold response, breakfast with added spitting agent can increase the flavor, how many people do you think will believe this kind of nonsense?

Hum--Snape snorted lightly, handed Lawrence a piece of folded parchment paper, and handled his own potion.

Lawrence spread the parchment paper, which detailed the quantity of each material, the processing method and the preparation steps of the potion. Lawrence had never seen this potion recipe. This should be the potion developed by Snape himself.

OK, thank you. Lawrence waved the parchment, so

Midnight has passed. Are you waiting for me to deduct you a few points if you don't go back? Snape pointed to the office door coldly and drove Lawrence out directly.

Won--Lawrence originally thought Snape could communicate a little, but now he felt that this guy was still annoying. Lawrence folded the parchment again, stuffed it back into his pocket, and walked towards the Gryffindor Tower.
