Vol 2 Chapter 618: Cedric's little secret and the mermaid

In fact, the urging of Sirius and Hagrid put great pressure on Harry, and he had to put this matter on the agenda and accept all forms of help.
He can't let these two men down, and the day of the game is approaching.
Harry didn't know how long it would take to take a bath to figure out the secret of the egg, so he decided to wash it at night.
He decided to think slowly in Shilinfei's bathing room, because very few people could come in, so he wouldn't be afraid of being disturbed.
Despite his reluctance, he put aside his airs and considered Cedric's advice.
The last time he got up in the middle of the night and walked over the wall to walk out of school, he happened to be caught by the administrator Filch. He didn't want this kind of thing to happen again.
So this time, he was very well prepared. It would be useful to bring a cloak, and then bring the live spot map with the school layout, and there are many paths, secret exits, and more importantly, in the corridors. People walking in will show it with small dots at any time, so that if someone approaches the bath room, he will know immediately.
He discussed with Fanlin. In fact, Harry also invited Fanlin to the bathhouse, but Fanlin didn't seem to have this intention.
According to Fanlin's idea, Harry can find the answer himself. This is not his game, and there is no reason to reveal too much.
Moreover, it takes a long time for Fanlin to merge with Alchemy to change his body to adapt to the Apparition, and he must practice more.
He hasn't been to the Black Lake. A large part of the reason why he learns the language of mermaid is for this. He can't rely on that memory action 100%.
Naturally, on Thursday night, Harry slipped out of bed alone, put on his invisibility cloak, and slid down the stairs, just as Hagrid took them to watch a dragon that night.
This time Harry asked Ron to wait outside and gave him a signal.
"Fried Banana Pie!"
"Hope good luck." Ron murmured, crawling into the big room when Harry just crawled out and passed him.
Harry had the egg in his hand, the map in front of his nose, and walked in the invisibility cloak. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the hallway was flooded with moonlight, and with the help of a map, Harry was sure he would not run into anyone he didn't want to see.
When he reached the statue of Polis, he stopped, put his body on the right door, and said softly "the novel pine tree". Cedric told him this code.
The door creaked open, and Harry slipped in, took off his cloak, and looked around. He suddenly felt that if he could have such a bathroom, it would be good to be a prefect.
The room was full of chandeliers with candles. Everything is made of marble, even the bathtub in the middle of the house. There are a hundred golden faucets around the pool, and each faucet is inlaid with gems of different colors. There is also a diving board above the pool. The long white curtains hung down gracefully, and a gold framed oil painting hung on the wall with a picture of a blonde beauty sleeping on a stone.
He put down the golden egg, map and invisibility cloak, and walked to the bath. There was a sound of footsteps echoing in the house. He was now a little suspicious that Cedric was lying to him. Why did he call him to take a bath? What does this have to do with golden eggs?
However, he was put on a towel, knelt under the faucet, opened them and rushed.
Harry quickly discovered that the foam from each tap was different, and he had never seen such a magical foam. The bubbles from one tap are blue or pink, as big as a football; the bubbles from the other tap are like snowballs; the third tap is water with purple smoke.
When the bath was almost full, Harry turned off all the taps, took off his pajamas and slippers, and slid over.
The bath was so deep that he could barely reach the bottom of his feet, and Harry swam around happily.
When he returned to the side, he stared at the egg, but he still had no idea. Harry reached for the egg and opened it, and the melodious voice immediately filled the room.
But this time the voice didn't seem to be as suppressed as before, but it was still ugly, and Harry suspected that it was just an illusion of himself.
He closed the egg again, fearing that the noise would wake Flk.
"If I were you, I would put the egg in the water." Harry choked with fright.
The crying Myrtle—a gloomy female ghost who often cries in the toilet—is sitting on one of the taps with her legs crossed.
"Myrtle," Harry cried angrily, "I didn't wear anything."
Although there were a lot of bubbles in the pool, he still felt that he had been peeked as soon as he entered.
"My eyes were closed when you came in." Myrtle said with a nervous smile, "It's just that you haven't seen me."
"Okay, then." Harry bent his legs slightly, only showing his head on the water to prevent Myrtle from seeing anything.
"I shouldn't have come to this bathhouse, am I? This is for girls?"
"You have always been like this, and you never cared." Myrtle said sarcastically.
"Someone called me here. But I won't come here again." Harry said with cold sweat.
There is a wrong bath, which is really bad enough. But... the password Cedric knew was to open the door of the prefect’s bathroom...
This is something worth thinking about.
If Cedric had a cloak of invisibility, or... Harry suddenly remembered the spell that Fanlin had used, the phantom spell...
This is much more convenient than cloaks of invisibility, as long as the caster's mood does not fluctuate sharply...
It seems that Cedric has some ulterior secrets. in case……
Harry was thinking about those female prefects at Hogwarts...
"I see." Myrtle didn't seem to see what Harry was in a daze, she said quickly, "But I would rather put the egg in the water and try it, like Cedric did."
"You peeped at him too? What's wrong with you? Do you hide here every day to watch the prefect take a bath?" Harry said angrily.
(Well, Cedric always uses the female prefect’s bathroom to take a shower, which is big news!)
"Occasionally, but I have never spoken to anyone." Myrtle said innocently. "What do you think a ghost has in mind?"
Uh... Harry is a bit speechless, Myrtle is also female, and, this is a female bathroom, so to speak... But when Harry stood up, he still told Myrtle to turn around and use the towel Wrap yourself tightly, and then take the egg.
"Open the egg and put it in the water." Myrtle said. Harry did. Then, he heard the sound of the egg. The sound was completely different this time, Mi Mi, Mi Mi, with some lyrics, but Harry couldn't hear it clearly.
"You have to dive into the water too." Myrtle said.
Harry took a deep breath and submerged his head in the water.
This time, he finally heard what it sang: "Come to us along the sound. We can't sing on the shore. We will steal the things you miss most. You will find out in an hour, and then you will exchange with us. . After an hour, everything disappears. If it’s too late, everything will cease to exist."
Harry came to the surface after listening and pulled the hair away from his eyes.
"You heard what it said?" Myrtle asked.
"Yes, but I have to listen again." With that, Harry dived into the water again. He listened to it a few more times, but he didn't emerge immediately, but thought hard for a while under the water.
"I'm looking for someone who can't speak on the shore. Who is this person?"
"You are too slow, too." Myrtle surfaced. Harry surfaced and saw Myrtle look happy. He shifted his eyes away and continued to think about who it would be.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the mermaid on the wall.
"Right. It's a mermaid. Myrtle, isn't there no mermaid in the world?"
"When you were in the Muggle world, didn't you have a unicorn?" Myrtle asked back.
Harry thought he was a little stupid. He had seen Fanlin, the textual research of those mermaids, and heard that from the Slytherin lounge, he could see the mermaids in the Black Lake.
Well, the mermaid in the Black Lake!
"It's great, Diggory thought for a long time before coming up."
"It must be it. The second task is to find the mermaid in the Black Lake." Harry was extremely happy.
However, when he thought that he was not a good swimmer, Harry felt as if he had been punched in the stomach.
He has hardly practiced swimming.
When they were young, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon didn't let him go to school because they were afraid he would drown.
You can barely be in this bath, but the lake is big and deep. And the mermaid lives under the lake...
"Myrtle, teach me how to breathe in the water." Harry said.
"You would really offend people, and you told me to breathe." Myrtle started to cry as she said.
"Sorry, I forgot you were..." Harry felt a little troublesome. The scariest thing about Myrtle was crying, but he just...
"Of course, I can easily be forgotten, and no one would think of me when I was alive. It took a long time for them to find my body after drowning. I was sitting here waiting for them—"
Harry didn't have the heart to listen to ~EbookFREE.me~ The basilisk has been resolved. According to the truth, the myrtle was avenged by him and Fanlin.
He continued thinking about the following lyrics, what does the phrase "what you lost is with us" mean? Presumably, will they come to steal things? What does it want to steal? "
"Then...so I had to live in the toilet—" Myrtle chattered.
It seemed that Myrtle didn't hear it at all.
"Yes," said Harry, "I know now..., hey, turn around, okay, I'm coming up."
"Will you come to see me in the future?" Myrtle asked reluctantly.
"I will try my best." Harry said embarrassedly, putting on his invisibility cloak.
"Thank you for your help, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
