Chapter 165: Deep dive

The next day, at 7:30 in the morning on February 24, Jon Hart opened his eyes.
Getting up from the bed, he checked the wand again and put a waterproof wand cover on the wand.
At the same time he found the few things he needed to carry with him.
After confirming that they were correct, he put them into the most private pocket and walked out of the Hufflepuff common room.
Hufflepuff’s "cheerleaders" are all waiting for him here. After the baptism of the first project, they are now considered well-trained.
"Come on, Jon!"
"Trust you, you will win!"
"Long live Hufflepuff!"
Surrounded by Hufflepuff’s cheerleaders, Jon first came to the restaurant to eat something. After filling his stomach, he passed through two oak doors and was going to the site of the second project, Hogsmeade Lake. side.
But someone stopped him.
Daphne Greengrass was crazy, she didn't even notice that she smashed Zacharys Smith and Heloise Midgen.
She ran directly to Jon.
"You must save her!" Daphne's trembling voice was a little bit crying, and she grabbed Jon's arm firmly.
"What's the matter?" Zacharias said with some dissatisfaction when he was knocked away.
"They took Astoria away!" Daphne cried and said, "She was locked at the bottom of the lake with protection magic for only one hour... You need to save her... If you can't save her, she will die ..."
There was a chattering sound from all around.
Astoria became part of the second project, and Jon was not surprised. But he was also certain that Dumbledore would protect those who were not rescued unscathed.
Daphne, who was just shocked by the news, would not realize it for a while.
"I will." Jon nodded.
"You must save her..." Daphne looked at Jon earnestly, without the arrogance she once was.
"Definitely!" Jon said calmly.
Daphne just let go of his hand.
...
The seats that surrounded the Fire Dragon Field in November last year are now lined up on the other side of the lake. They are already full of seats and are reflected in the lake below.
Five referees waited for them by the lake, of which Batty Crouch became Percy Weasley.
"It looks like the warriors are all here?" Ludo Bagman said kindly.
Victor Krum and Harry Potter have arrived at the referee's table, a table covered with a golden yellow tablecloth, Fleur Delacour and Jon almost arrived here with their feet back and forth.
"Then you can start." Dumbledore said with a smile: "You all know the rules of the game?"
The four people nodded in unison.
"Your most important people were taken away by the mermaids and locked up next to their villages... You must overcome obstacles, defeat enemies in the water, and rescue them... Only one hour!"
Dumbledore had already repeated the rules, his tone was rather serious.
"That's good!" Ludo Bagman quickly clapped his hands: "Get ready, start now!"
The four warriors all came to the lake.
Jon took off his robe, revealing his swimming trunks, and then wiped his body with the lake.
Very icy lake...It is very uncomfortable to rub on the body.
Fleur Delacour cast a seemingly complicated spell on herself, and then a big bubble wrapped her around and sent her to the water.
Krum used a transfiguration technique on himself, and his head immediately turned into a hideous-looking shark head; but his spell seemed to be only half successful, and the other half of his body was still human.
Jon took out a handful of gills and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste of Saccharomyces chinensis is quite bad, like chewing raw spider legs, dry.
For an instant, something seemed to be pressing his mouth and nose; and the lungs were empty, and there was a sharp pain on both sides of his neck
Fortunately, this is not the first time that Jon has taken the gill saccharum. He was mentally prepared and didn't make much fuss.
Almost at the same time, the fingers and toes began to join together, forming a soft web-like structure. His feet looked like duck webs.
"Start!" As Ludo Bagman shouted, Jon jumped into the water.
And Harry Potter on one side only started to take the gills.
...
Jon took a sip of the lake water, and then felt the water flow smoothly through his gills, transporting oxygen into his brain.
Everything is going well... The resistance in the water seems to be reduced a lot, and when I swim, my body has become a lot lighter.
Then Jon took out a small ball that was enclosed in ice, and pointed his wand at it.
There was a crack in the thick ice on the surface of the ball...the heat radiated from it.
The eggs of the fire gray snake itself are an excellent heat source, which can emit terrifying heat... and if the ice is well sealed, the heat they emit can be controlled.
Jon felt that the temperature of the water around him had become a bit higher, and he was much more comfortable.
Now, everything is ready, just find the village of the mermaid.
The hint in the golden egg can be very clear: "Look for us, where our voice sounds!"
So just find the singing of the mermaid to find them.
However, it is difficult to hear the singing of a mermaid with the receiving frequency of the human ear; Jon raised his wand and whispered:
"ExpectoPatronum!"
He just spit out a string of blisters, but the spell was still released.
As the silver light flashed, Jon's iron-eater patron saint appeared in front of him, looking at the strange scene around him with some surprise.
A blister curse quickly enveloped the iron-eater ~EbookFREE.me~ so that he did not have to struggle in the water.
"Can you hear it?" Jon asked softly, "The singing of a mermaid?"
"Oh!" The patron saint let out a cheerful cry, and nodded at the same time.
"Well, you lead the way!" As he said, Jon conjured a line so that the egg of the fire gray snake could follow the blisters of the iron-eater.
The patron saint in the blisters opened the way ahead.
Then there is the egg of the fire gray snake, emitting a little bit of heat, and at the same time expelling the magical animals in the surrounding water.
Finally, Jon followed them and paddled forward.
His eyes can be opened wide without the need for swimming glasses; the warm water flows by him, as if he were in a hot spring on vacation.
This strange team swam toward the bottom of the lake.
