The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts - Chapter 168

c168 Afterwards

In the dark midnight, the moon was covered by thick clouds, and the sky was constantly drizzling.

Hogwarts, in the middle of the Black Lake.

Most of the giant squid’s head floated on the water, and several tentacles kept waving in the air, ready to go.

If there was enough light, you could see a figure squatting on the giant squid’s head.

He looked like a fishman, with webbed hands and feet, fins on his ears and joints, and slender pupils like cat’s eyes. His whole body was covered with fine scales, and if it was exposed to sunlight, you could see the blue and red gradient on the scales and fins.

At the same time, there was a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead!

This person was Harry Potter.

At this time, Harry looked nervous, holding his wand tightly, and staring at the top of him.

In between, at a 45-degree angle above him, about 100 meters away, a ball of blue mist was quietly floating in the sky.

The blue mist did not spread out, but gathered there in a stable manner. No matter how much rain fell, it did not disperse. Just one look at it, people can’t help but think of ghosts, monsters and the like.

Harry also saw blue-purple square pupils above the mist.

After the mist stayed for about one or two seconds, it flew straight into the castle. Its speed was very fast, not much slower than Harry’s Nimbus 2000.

“Stop!” Harry shouted, but because of the rain, his voice could not be heard at all.

In another blink of an eye, the mist turned into a window on the fifth floor of the castle and rushed in, disappearing from Harry’s sight.

“Damn, what the hell is this!” Harry growled, and then the giant squid under his feet seemed to feel the needs of its master and swam towards the shore at a rapid speed.

However, when it approached the shore, the squid began to move inconveniently. Harry whispered, “Go back by yourself!” Then he dived into the water and began to swim towards the shore like a torpedo.

Before leaving, Harry called back, “I’ll come and play with you later, thank you.” Then, he jumped out of the water, landed steadily on the grass, picked up his shoes, and ran towards the castle.

“What on earth is that?!” Harry was worried and suddenly became very interested in it.

However, what he didn’t know was that not long after the blue fog rushed into the window on the fifth floor, a head popped out of the window, looking at him running barefoot in the grass with a half-smile on his face.

Lind smiled, retracted his gaze, and then began to walk up. He never thought that tonight, the first night he practiced the fog spell, he would meet Harry.

It was already the end of May, and more than two months had passed since Lockhart’s trial.

There were not many comments about Dumbledore in the newspapers.

The British magic news industry basically only has paper media.

And the paper media is divided into three major sections.

The official Daily Prophet;

Rita Skeeter’s self-media, such as her future masterpiece “The Life and Lies of Dumbledore”;

The third party is a niche magazine like “The Quibbler”.

Rita Skeeter has a great influence on the first two sections. Lind forced her to ban reports about Dumbledore, so even if 80% of the reports were stopped.

The remaining niche reports could not arouse public opinion at all, but they would be washed away by the torrent of time in an instant, and it would be difficult to leave a mark in people’s hearts.

During this period, Lind had no complicated things to do, so he could finally focus on his study plan. In addition, there were many reports about him in the newspapers, which made him voluntarily and forced to start a secluded life.

And today was the first time he successfully cast the Mist Spell. Just when he wanted to fly out of the castle to test it, he met Harry.

Harry was actually mixed with the giant squid in the Black Lake.

Moreover, Lind did not find them at the first time. At that time, Harry and the giant squid were playing under the Black Lake, while Lind was testing the changes of releasing spells after turning into mist in the air.

At that time, he was torn into pieces and hit the water surface.

At that time, Harry and the others seemed to be just about to surface.

Then the two of them were embarrassed. After carefully observing Harry’s changes, he flew back to the castle.

Putting these aside, Lind thought about the release of spells after the previous test of the mist spell.

After turning the body into a ball of mist, perhaps because of the loss of the concept of “body”, the flow of magic power will become extremely obscure, and he can’t even release some spells at all, and even if he releases them, the power will be very small.

And this kind of mist is not like the devil fruit elementalization as Lind thought.

After turning into mist, the edge of his body can indeed be like complete mist, showing a gradual dissipation state, but the body itself has not changed at all.

And in the center of his body, that is, the torso and head. They are just a state similar to fog, or they are extremely dense and non-dispersible fog.

And this extremely dense fog is essentially still his body and head, and he cannot dodge attacks like the elemental transformation in “One Piece”.

On the contrary, the consequences of injuries to these parts after the fog transformation will be worse than in his physical state.

In essence, it is a spell used to move.

The speed is very satisfactory, just like what is described in the movie, not inferior to common magical transportation tools such as flying brooms. If he flies at full speed, he can probably reach 100 kilometers per hour, but considering that it consumes too much energy for a second-grade kid, he can only last for more than ten minutes.

As for magic power, this has become a very serious problem for him at this stage.

He has basically mastered all the basic spells. When learning advanced spells, he can often only practice three or four times before he is exhausted.

This also makes his theoretical knowledge higher than his actual ability.

In other words, he has high expectations but low skills.

It is good to have high expectations, but it is very troublesome to have low skills. Continuously squeezing magic power until it is exhausted and then waiting for it to recover is indeed helpful for the growth of magic power, but it is not very helpful.

Most wizards’ magic power is basically innate. The main period of magic power surge is during adolescence, which is basically concentrated during this period of time in school.

This restricts his current development.

Another point is that he still doesn’t know what level he can reach when he fully explodes.

The full explosion here refers to the situation when he uses the old form.

He himself doesn’t know how strong he is in that situation. He doesn’t want to use that kind of power, including in the battle with Quirrell, he has never transformed into the old form to fight.

The old form, in terms of physical strength and some water element spells, has indeed increased his strength incomparably.

If others knew his thoughts, they would probably say, “Do you learn magic just to fight and fight?”

“Yes!”

This is Lind’s answer.

I can not fight, but I can’t not fight.

Thinking of this, Lind quickly came to the Room of Requirement and began to prepare for the review. In the original book, the final exam was forced to be cancelled because of the secret room incident caused by the notebook.

But now it is different, the final exam still has to be taken.
