Magical Studies at Hogwarts.

Chapter 166 Preliminary Display of Ancient Magic Learning Results

On February 23rd, Ike was rarely with Hermione.Not because of anything else, but Harry hadn't thought of a practical way to get through the second project until now, and Hermione and Ron were trying to figure it out for him.

However, before they could find a clue, Hermione and Ron were called away by George, and Professor McGonagall told them that they must go.

Harry, who continued to search alone, had no clue until Mrs. Pince kicked him out of the library.

With a thick stack of books in his arms, Harry searched the common room all night, but to no avail.Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, went back to the dormitory, put on the invisibility cloak, and quietly returned to the library.

This time, his target was the Restricted Area.

In the early hours of the morning, Harry, who was still searching, couldn't bear it any longer, and fell asleep directly.

When he woke up, there were only 10 minutes left before the start of the second project.

"I'm not going, I'm giving up." Facing Dobby who woke him up, Harry chose to act badly.

"Mr. Harry Potter must go, he wants to get his Wheezers back from the merman!"

"Whisper? What's that?"

"Your Wicky, sir! The Wicky who gave Dobby his sweater!"

"You mean... Ron?"

"Yes, that's Mr. Harry Potter's favorite!" Dobby pulled Harry up with effort, and stuffed a gray-green thing that looked like a mouse's tail.

"Gill grass, Mr. Harry Potter needs this, it can make you breathe underwater!"

After getting repeated assurances from Dobby, and knowing that Dobby got this method while eavesdropping on the chatting of the professors, Harry no longer had any worries, stuffed the invisibility cloak into his backpack, and strode towards the Black Lake .

Fortunately, he wasn't late; unfortunately, he didn't have time to catch his breath.

"Is it all right, Harry?" Ludo asked in a low voice, holding his wand.

"It's...not bad." Harry was panting, but only slightly relieved.

Ludo said nothing more, patted Harry on the shoulder, and walked to the referee table.Wand against throat, like at the Quidditch World Cup.

"Sounds loud!"

"Gentlemen and ladies, our warriors are ready. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second race begins!"

"They have a full hour to get back what was taken from them!"

"Let's start counting down!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As soon as the whistle sounded, deafening cheers erupted from the temporary stands beside the Black Lake.Without the slightest hesitation, Krum and Fleur jumped directly into the cold lake.Harry didn't hesitate, he stuffed the large glob of cheek grass directly into his mouth, and then jumped in.

Only Ike was still standing on the shore.

"Get in the water, Ike!"

"what are you doing!"

Ike heard the shouts of Stuart and others from the auditorium, and turned his head and smiled at them.

Immediately, he drew out his wand and threw it directly into the air.After spinning the wand twice, it pointed straight into the depths of the Black Lake.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he took a step forward. Amid the exclamation of the audience, Ike just stepped on the lake like a flat ground, and walked slowly towards the black lake step by step in the direction pointed by the magic wand.

"Amazing spellcasting ability!" Ms. Maxim said softly on the referee's seat.It seemed to be talking to himself, but others didn't seem to hear it, but Dumbledore slapped his hands, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which formed a strong contrast with Karkaroff, who was next to him with a cold face.

After just over ten minutes, Ike finally stopped.At this time, he was already far away from the shore, and the people in the stands were blurred into a mass, and even the stands were only left with a silhouette.

He stretched out his hand to hold the wand whose tip was pointing straight down, and with a light wave, the lake water under his feet naturally parted, and his body sank slowly.

Like a bubble, Ike was covered in it.Don't be in a hurry, let the bubbles sink slowly, and even enjoy the scenery in the black lake leisurely.

Gradually, the surroundings became darker and darker, and after a while, it inexplicably became much brighter again.Looking down at the feet, there is a huge mermaid statue, and four people are firmly tied to it by the tail.

The melodious and beautiful singing sounded, it was the mermaids guiding the warriors.They surrounded the statue, all looking up at the slowly falling bubbles.

He waved his hand as a greeting to these ugly mermaids, and then the bubbles slowly floated towards the tail of the statue.There, Hermione seemed to be asleep, with her head drooping weakly, and a series of small and thin air bubbles kept coming out of her mouth.

"Sleeping Curse? And... the Bubble Curse that changed some places?"

With just one glance, Ike saw through the magic that was working on Hermione, which couldn't help him at all.

With a wave of his left hand, the straw rope tied to Hermione's feet broke in two; with another stroke, the rope on her feet also broke, and she sank to the bottom of the lake.

Slowly, the bubble moved closer to Hermione, wrapping her inside.Holding Hermione with her left hand, the wand of her right tapped lightly on her head.

"Hermione, wake up, it's time to get up..."

Ike spoke softly, Hermione's eyelids moved slowly, and her eyes slowly opened.

"Are you the first, Ike?"

"Of course, it will take a long time for them to find this place." Ike said with a smile, and naturally held Hermione's hand.

Hermione looked curiously at the air bubble covering the two of them, poked it with the other hand, and easily passed through, surrounded by the cold lake water, but inside the air bubble, it was still dry, a drop of water nothing.

"This is……"

"A little trick, you can find it in those books."

Hermione lowered her head slightly, and looked at Ike suddenly, with inexplicable emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Ike, can you let me see how far you can go now?"

As if he understood Hermione's eyes, Ike nodded slightly, and pressed down the wand in his hand, and the bubbles sank again until the two of them stepped firmly on the bottom of the lake.

Gently discarding the wand, he looked at the direction the wand tip was pointing before holding it again.

"Hermione, do you still remember Exodus?" Ike smiled brightly, "Of course, there is also its shadow in the legend of Merlin."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his feet out of the air bubbles, and the lake water naturally parted. Although it was tightly attached to Ike, it did not land on it.

Holding the wand in his right hand and holding it up in front of his chest, Ike lowered his head and slowly stretched his left hand forward.

A burst of sounds that seemed to come from ancient times sounded, distant and long.There seemed to be a wind blowing at the bottom of the lake, and the surrounding aquatic plants slowly bent down in the same direction, and the hem of Ike's robe fluttered with them.

Suddenly, Ike waved his hand suddenly, raised his wand upwards, and pushed his left hand forward at the same time.

"boom!"

"Crash!"

Looking at the lake in front of him, which seemed to be split in half by a sharp sword, and the wall of water pouring down, the bubbles that had been wrapping Hermione disappeared at some point.

With her feet on solid ground, Hermione felt that everything was not so real.

At this moment, Ike turned his head, stretched out his hand to hold Hermione, with a bright smile on his face.

"This is the magic that only two people mastered in the legend - sea control."

"Of course, I prefer to call it..."

"Moses divided the sea..."
