Chapter 386 The Disappearing Compass, Mission Accomplished

Aaron thought of Fleur Delacour, and the compass needle turned quickly, pointing to a precise direction.

"This time we really have to race against time." Aaron shook his head bitterly, added a water-repelling spell to the tail of the mermaid sculpture to separate the lake water, and then added an armor spell to Hermione and Gabrielle.

After adding two layers of insurance, he accelerated to move in the direction pointed by the pointer.

In less than half a minute, Aaron came to a large area of ​​dense water plants.

A light red light kept flashing in the emerald water plants, and strange and sharp cries sounded from all directions, and he felt bad instantly.

Damn it, you can even run into the nest of the Grindylo monster, this luck is a bit too good.

Aaron cursed in his heart, but the movements of his hands were not vague at all.

With a wave of the wand, the water plants split into two, revealing Fleur who was fighting hard inside.

She was surrounded by dense Grindylows. Every time she waved her wand, more than a dozen water monsters would be frozen in place, but another wave would rush over the next moment, making her miserable.

Logically speaking, it was not impossible for a warrior of the Triwizard Tournament to deal with these Grindylows, but her sister, whom she cared about most, was now in danger of death, and the one-hour time was getting shorter and shorter, which made her anxious and she could not even use 80% of her strength.

Underwater was the home of Grindylows. The Bubble Spell could only allow her to breathe freely, and could not make her completely unaffected by the lake water like the Water Repellent Spell.

Her Veela bloodline could not support her fighting underwater. Over time, her limbs would become heavier and heavier until she could not even wave her wand.

Aaron pointed his wand straight ahead, took a deep breath and said, "Quickly imprison!"

A rope shot out from the tip of the wand, extending dozens of meters long, and wrapped around Fleur's waist several times.

Fleur, who was fighting with Grindylow, felt something on her waist and thought it was the water monsters that were entangled with her. When she was about to cast a spell, her body moved uncontrollably to one side at a high speed.

She heard a buzzing sound in her ears, but the tinnitus did not last long and disappeared.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already left the water grass group and saw who had saved her.

However, she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the transparent barrier around Aaron that isolated all the lake water.

This magic was much more advanced than her bubble spell. There was basically no difference between being in the water and on the ground, and it was even more convenient.

Fleur was about to express her gratitude when Aaron dragged her into the range of the water repellent spell and then quickly moved towards the mermaid's residence.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. We don't have time now."

Hearing this, Fleur also reacted and her face changed drastically, "Gabrielle..."

"She's fine for now." Aaron interrupted her hurriedly, "I cast a water repellent spell and an armor spell on her, so even if the mermaid wants to attack them, it won't be that easy.

As long as you can get back within two minutes, you can take her away."

"Huh!" Fleur breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good.

Wait, them? Who else?"

"My dance partner."

"Which dance partner?"

"Hermione. Granger. Aaron said with a gloomy face, "I asked Krum to help bring Luna Lovegood up."

"Oh!" Fleur seemed to have figured out something, "Thank you."

"Haha!

If you want to thank me, prepare a fruit basket for Adrian when you go back!

If she wasn't one of the judges and had set a difficult requirement for me, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to save you. "

At the last minute, Fleur untied the rope on Gabrielle, and Aaron immediately untied the rope on Hermione and pulled her tight under the water repellent spell.

"This is the second one." The mermaid said dissatisfiedly, and they all picked up their spears and pointed them at Aaron.

Some mermaids also blocked Aaron's way with a group of tamed Grindylows, saying fiercely: "Put her down, you can leave."

Fleur was a little at a loss when she saw this scene.

"You..."

"Hurry up and don't look back.

Don't forget, your sister is still here?"

Fleur struggled violently in her heart, then nodded to Aaron and took Gabrielle to swim up.

"Okay, now I'm the only one left.

The first project is like this, and the second project is still like this." Aaron sighed and pretended to look at the compass. The black compass petrified at a very fast speed, and then turned into gravel and sank to the bottom of the lake forever.

This is just a simple illusion. Under normal circumstances, it will definitely not fool a great wizard like Dumbledore, but now Dumbledore can only observe the game through the light curtain, and it is absolutely impossible to see through his illusion.

This is indeed the case. The thought body clearly captured the regret and pity in Dumbledore's eyes, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Let her go." The mermaid continued to warn.

"I'm sorry, if I can't bring her back intact, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well.

So, can you guys get out of the way? "Aaron said as he pulled out his wand, "This is for your own good. If you choose to stop me, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."

"Go." The mermaid leader roared angrily, and a large group of Grindylows roared and rushed towards Aaron.

"Petrified."

Aaron waved his wand, and the bright red light covered a large area of ​​water, and the charging Grindylows fell into a state of stillness.

"Petrification spell." The mermaid leader's voice was hoarse, "This spell won't last long. He must have consumed a lot of magic power to isolate the lake water, and he won't last long.

Keep going, and get the person back for me."

"I don't know what it means." Aaron's eyes flashed with anger, "God's sword has no shadow."

As soon as the voice fell, the mermaid leader let out a miserable howl, his arms were covered with bruises as if they were cut by countless sharp blades, and blood was uncontrollably dissolved into the lake water.

"How dare you? Hogwarts students..."

"Strictly speaking, I am a student of Hogwarts Slytherin College." Aaron said seriously, "The students of the Snake College are smart and powerful, and they know how to protect themselves, but they can do whatever it takes when necessary.

Maintaining the water repellent spell does consume a lot of magic power, but the remaining power I have is enough to fight you to the death. Do you want to try?"

"You can only take one away, leave her behind, and we will return her to you after the second project is over." The mermaid leader argued, "This is an agreement between us and Dumbledore."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's an agreement between you and him." Aaron said lightly, "To be honest, I don't trust you. I was just warning you just now. Don't think I dare not kill you.

So... get out of the way."

A mermaid was about to stab with a spear, but before he could make any move, the mermaid leader hurriedly held him down.

"You can leave. "The mermaid leader said helplessly, and the mermaids and grindylows surrounding them all dispersed, "It's just a competition, there's no need to make it so tense."

"Thank you." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, "The injuries on your body can only be removed by a counter-curse. You can go to Professor Dumbledore, he may help you."

After that, he took Hermione and swam quickly to the lake surface.

A few minutes later, a transparent barrier emerged from the black lake, and the last light curtain above also disappeared.

The stands were full of noise, many people cheered and applauded, and the referees also smiled at Aaron.

Hermione opened her eyes dazedly as soon as she left the water. She looked at the spherical barrier that isolated the lake water, and her eyes were full of stars, "It's amazing, is this the magic that allows you to breathe underwater? "

Aaron nodded, and then took her to the shore.

Several warriors, including the hostages they rescued, were here. They were all wrapped in thick blankets. They looked at Aaron with different eyes, but all with a hint of shock.

After they came up, they also saw Aaron's performance through the light screen. They had to admit that this fifteen-year-old wizard was indeed amazing.

Luna handed a blanket to Hermione, "Wipe it off! Senior didn't touch a drop of lake water the whole time, but we soaked in the lake for a long time."

"And this." Luna took out a bottle of red potion, "The potion given by Madam Pomfrey can warm you up in a short time."

"Thank you." Hermione opened the bottle a little embarrassedly and drank the potion. The burning feeling spread all over her body. A lot of heat came out of her body, and she felt refreshed immediately.

"That... I think I should apologize to you.

If I could show up in time at the Christmas ball, you wouldn't be so embarrassed. "

"It's all over. "Aaron staggered and sat on the ground, "Adrian told me that Luna was also mentally prepared."

"Are you okay?" Hermione frowned when she saw his pale face.

"Excessive consumption of magic power, just rest for a while."

"Is it that spell?"

"The water repellent spell is not a bubble spell. Every second of maintaining this magic consumes magic power." Aaron explained with a wry smile, "Although the consumption will gradually decrease as the strength increases, it is still a big burden for me now.

After all, I stayed underwater for more than an hour and had contact with Grindylow several times.

To be honest, if those mermaids really bite me, it might not be so easy for us to come up."

"I should thank you in person." Fleur pulled her sister over and said, "When I was at the bottom of the lake, I, it's not that I didn't want to help you, but..."

"No need to explain, I understand. "Aaron waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I am already very relieved that you didn't stay, because at that time I really didn't have the extra strength to save you again."

Furong's mouth twitched slightly. Was she underestimated?

She was a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament after all, and could be considered a genius among her peers, but compared to others, she really didn't know how to refute.

"Um... Excuse me, I heard them say that you used a precious compass to find me?"

"That's a magic prop passed down from our family." Aaron waved his hand indifferently, "You don't have to worry about it. That antique has completed its mission."

Furong's expression was complicated. She didn't know that Aaron had lied to the whole audience. She just felt that she owed him a big favor this time.
