Chapter 216 The Veterinarian is Online
After class, Rove walked along the corridor towards the Black Lake.
Shirley seemed a little worried, and followed.
Walking on the road, the young man said in a young voice: "It's okay, it's definitely not a prank, Professor Snape won't lie to me to go to the Black Lake in his spare time, this kind of trick is too low-level."
"It's not a prank that is more worrying!" Shirley wrinkled her nose and said, "Professor Lockhart is married to a mermaid, why should you be the best man?"
"You believe that too?" Rove said with a dumbfounded smile, "Shirley, Professor Snape is full of lies, just listen to half of what he says at most, don't believe him.
Dumbledore should be waiting for me at the Black Lake, but there is no such thing as a best man at all. "
"Is that so?" Shirley glanced at Rove in surprise, she frowned and said, "How can Professor Snape talk nonsense like that?"
Rove raised his legs and stepped over the steps, stretched out his hand to block the glare of the sun, and said with a soft smile, "You are so stupid, you will be deceived sooner or later."
The girl with ponytail pursed her lips, then suddenly smiled, she stretched out her fist and shook slightly: "Isn't there still you?"
The two walked across the lawn towards the Black Lake. On the way, they met Hagrid. He was mowing the grass, but he had a sad face and no smile on his face.
"Hey, Hagrid." Rove greeted and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No, little problem, Rove." Hagrid picked up the pile of grass that he trimmed, suddenly remembered something, stared at the two and said:
"Why are you two going? It's too dangerous recently, so don't run around at will."
"No, it was Professor Snape who asked us to go to Professor Dumbledore." Rove explained, "Have you seen him?"
"Oh, Dumbledore." Hagrid thought for a while and said, "I just saw him walking by the Black Lake by himself."
"Okay, thank you." After confirming that it was not a prank, Rove asked softly, "Hagrid, what's the matter with you, you look sullen."
Hagrid hesitated. He glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "I tell you two, don't tell anyone."
Both Rove and Shirley nodded.
"A long time ago, in the Forbidden Forest, I raised a very small, very cute spider, and named it Aragog."
Rove raised his eyebrows. Why is Hagrid's description so far from the acromantula? Are they small and cute?
Oh cute hammer!
"But just before Christmas, Aragog was captured by a wizard." Hagrid said in frustration, "Now his whereabouts are unknown."
Of course Aragog was captured by Rove, but it was hard to tell, so he had to cautiously say: "Do you know who captured it?"
"I don't know, but the children of Aragog told me that it was a young wizard and a centaur." Hagrid sighed:
"That young wizard also claims to be my friend."
"Since it is said to be your friend, it may be sent back soon." Rove comforted.
"But I'm worried it's poachers." Hagrid said worriedly:
"Aragok is very old, and he has problems with his eyes. I'm really worried about his safety."
"Then you asked about the centaur tribe?" Rove asked again: "Aren't there still centaurs?"
"Hey, the centaur tribe is under martial law recently, don't you know?" Hagrid said with a serious face:
"At Christmas, it is said that a car drove through the Forbidden Forest and hit Bane, breaking several ribs.
The centaurs are very hostile to wizards now, you'd better not go to the Forbidden Forest anytime soon. "
"..."
"I see, thank you for reminding me." Rove nodded.
After saying goodbye to Hagrid, they continued to walk towards the Black Lake, Shirley whispered, "What about the acromantula in the box?"
"After the treatment is complete, I will put it back in the Forbidden Forest." Rove thought for a while and said:
"Only Aragog can restrain the giant arachnid group, but it won't live for a few years. We must find an acromander spider that can control the group in advance."
Soon they came to the edge of the Black Lake, and in the distance they saw a big squid lying in the warm shallow water basking in the sun.
Professor Dumbledore stood aside, gently fiddled with its tentacles, and the squid seemed to feel a little bit refreshed by it.
After hearing footsteps, the old man turned around and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, it seems that Professor Snape conveyed my words... I was just wondering if he would pretend to forget."
"Professor Snape has not forgotten, but he still made some changes to your words." Rove quickly complained while Snape was away:
"He said that Lockhart is going to marry the mermaid and needs me to be the best man."
Dumbledore laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "Nothing, but I really need you to take a trip to the Murloc tribe with me."
"What are you going to do?" Rove asked curiously.
"A mermaid in the mermaid tribe was sick, and their healer was helpless, and wanted to ask me for help." Dumbledore said softly:
"I thought of you, Rove."
"Professor Lockhart fell into the Black Lake and was caught by the mermaid. If he can be cured with help, the leader of the mermaid is willing to release Professor Lockhart." The old man explained slowly.
"No problem, but whether it can be cured or not can only be known after seeing the patient."
As a professional veterinarian, Rove certainly would not refuse a mermaid patient, he hesitated, "How do we get to the bottom of the lake?"
"Take this big guy." Dumbledore pointed to the big squid lying in the shallow water basking in the sun, his beard trembling slightly: "It will take us to the bottom of the lake."
Rove and Shirley both looked at the squid, which sprayed a large cloud of ink into the air like fireworks.
"If there's no problem, let's go now." Dumbledore jumped onto the squid in one step, followed by Rove and Shirley.
Under Dumbledore's command, the giant squid swam towards the center of the lake, and then sank slowly.
The principal waved his wand again, and the three of them were wrapped in a large cloud of air bubbles, and they dived underwater like this.
The giant squid dived deeper and deeper, swimming towards the center of the lake, the light gradually dimmed, and the surrounding lake looked dark and hazy.
There are many fish in the water, swimming from not far away, Rove and Shirley sat on the back of the squid, looking at the lake water, as if they were in an aquarium.
Soon, a large group of mermaids appeared. They were chasing the squid, but none of the mermaids dared to approach them, but followed them from a distance.
After a long time, the squid finally came to the bottom of the lake that was deep enough.
There stood a small mermaid village of rough stone dwellings speckled with algae.
The mermaid leader Mercus stood on the square, waiting for the three of them to arrive. When she saw the big squid, she waved her hand and said:
"play music!"
