time at hogwarts

265.Water demon



Facts have proved that Magos has thought too much. Maybe this idea is feasible, but at the level he has just learned, it may be completely fanciful to achieve that.

As this class ended, all the wizards barely mastered this spell and could temporarily ignore the strong wind in the classroom.Flitwick asked them to go back and practice more, and told them that the wind in the next Charms class would be more than just that.As he finished speaking, the strong wind in the classroom quickly weakened until it disappeared.

"Compared to the body-protecting whirlwind, I want to learn this magic spell that can summon strong winds." Flitwick looked envious as Dean left.

"You can ask him for advice. The professors at Hogwarts are very easy to talk to." McGoss replied casually.

Unexpectedly, Dean looked frustrated after hearing this.

"I tried it, but the professors will check how well I study in class, and they think I should focus on that and then think about other things."

Beside him, Seamus nodded sympathetically.

Magos didn't expect that there was such a prerequisite for asking for extracurricular knowledge. Thinking about it carefully, the person he asked for the most advice was Snape. If he failed to master the knowledge learned in class, it seemed that he would not assign other tasks to him. .

The next day, Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class came again. His teaching methods can be said to be quite controversial. Thanks to the Hippogriff, some students thought they could safely see some of the more dangerous magical creatures. Biology is still very interesting, but the other part thinks that it is too dangerous for him to do this, and that he should do it step by step and that is what a teacher should really do.

On the way here, Magos was worried that Hagrid would really lead them to see the magic scale insect in this lesson.Because Hagrid placed the location of this lesson beside the big lake outside Hogwarts.

"What kind of dangerous magical creature will it be this time?" A Ravenclaw witch stood in the back row worriedly.

"Just hope it doesn't look like a Hippogriff."

"Don't you think this is the only way to be interesting?" A student standing in front of them said with a smile.

“It’s safe and you can see magical creatures that you wouldn’t normally see.”

Hagrid stood by the lake and looked at the noisy wizards and coughed hard.

"Originally I prepared an interesting magical creature for you for this lesson, but for some reasons I had to change it." As he spoke, he glanced at Magos, who was standing in the middle.

"In this class, I will take you to learn about a very dangerous magical creature, the water demon."

Hagrid's words made the wizards around him tremble with fear. Regardless of whether they knew about the water demon or heard about it, they all knew that it was very dangerous. Unexpectedly, they were about to face the second lesson on Care of Magical Creatures. to this creature.

"Page No. 14 of Monsters explains this creature in detail. You can learn about it from the top first, and then we will look at its true appearance."

Magos took out the tightly tied monster, touched its spine for a while, waited until it stopped struggling, then took off the straps, and then turned it to page No. 14.

The first thing that arrives is a horse-like creature running across the page, then it suddenly turns into a scantily clad mermaid, and then it turns into a handsome man in tatters.

Water monsters are magical creatures that can change their shape at will in the water. They usually change into the shape of horses in the shallows to lure unwary travelers and children to ride on them, and then drag them into the depths of the river. It drowns and feeds on its corpse.In the deep sea, they often transform into human beings to trick passing sailors into the water when a storm approaches, and then kill them to obtain food.The Muggle legend of the deep sea naga was created based on them.Be careful, they are extremely dangerous

After roughly completing the description of the water monster, Magos had to admit that this was indeed a very dangerous creature and very cunning.

Seeing the wizards slowly put them down, Hagrid smiled and said with their frightened expressions,

"Don't be afraid of them. They are actually easy to deal with. The spells you have learned now can already fight them. The petrification spell and the fire spell are their nemesis."

As he said this, he asked everyone to put them down and led them to the lake. There was a tight rope on the lake's edge.

"Happily, I caught a water monster in a well in Hogsmeade. At that time, it wanted to turn into a fish and deceive me."

"Now I want to ask a student to come over and pull this rope. I think you can all guess what is on the other end of it."

The wizards all took a few steps back while holding on to the tight rope. They didn't want to be the first.

"Okay, here I need to call the roll." Hagrid was quite disappointed that the students had no initiative at all. He thought that at least Hermione would raise her hand. He was looking forward to Hermione for a while, until her face was filled with tears. I was so scared.

"Harry." Hagrid originally wanted to call Magos, but thinking that Magos was the first to try riding a Hippogriff last time, he felt that he should give Harry the chance this time.

In the sympathetic eyes of the surrounding wizards.Harry stepped up to the ropes.

"Just pull it up like this?"

"For safety's sake, use a protective spell first. It's quite powerful, so be careful not to be dragged into the water by him."

Harry obediently used an armor to protect his body, and then slowly pulled the tight rope upwards.

The wizards behind held their breath and nervously looked at the lake where the rope was.

Hermione squeezed Magos's wrist so tightly that it hurt so much that he wanted to cast a protective charm on himself.

"Is Harry in danger?" Hermione asked nervously.

Magos looked at Hagrid not far away and the masonry at his feet, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be fine, otherwise Hagrid wouldn't let Harry pass."

However, after thinking about it, he still held the wand tightly so that he could be rescued in time if something unexpected happened.

The ripples on the water began to expand, and everyone knew that the water monster was about to be pulled out of the lake. They opened their eyes wide and prepared to see what the water monster looked like in reality.

What caught their eyes was the face of a frightened girl. Harry was stunned when he saw this scene and stopped pulling the rope instantly.Prepare to ask Hagrid later.

"Heart." Hagrid's loud voice startled Harry, and he immediately threw himself to the ground. The water monster with the girl's face had turned into an ape-like creature and pounced towards him from the water. If If he hadn't thrown himself down, he would have been caught by the water demon.

The wizards behind them screamed in horror.

"Quiet." Hagrid yelled.

"Harry, use magic." He said, lifting the masonry at his feet to prevent accidents.
