Chapter 217 Newt's childhood sweetheart
Horses are good at divination, and mermaids are good at singing and dancing.
Newt once described these two species in this way, and judging from what Rove has seen and heard, it is indeed quite brilliant.
He slid down from the back of the big squid and looked towards the center of the square. He saw a large group of mermaids singing songs with girlish voices.
If you ignore the ugly appearance of those mermaids, this is indeed a beautiful picture.
The three walked towards the center of the square, and Dumbledore, who was walking in the front, sighed:
"It is the custom of mermaids to welcome guests with singing. I have always wanted to invite them to help sing the Hogwarts school song at the school opening dinner, but unfortunately..."
Shirley walked side by side with Rove. She looked up at the headmaster and asked doubtfully, "They don't want to go to Hogwarts?"
"That's not true, but out of the water, the singing of the mermaid becomes noise." Dumbledore regretted.
Seeing that the girl was still a little puzzled, Rove patiently explained:
"The mermaid's singing sounds good in the water, but it's harsh and harsh on the shore, even if it's the recorded voice."
The mermaid's voice is related to the media, and it sounds completely different in different media.
Of course, it's not accurate to say that it's all about the medium.
Like Rove and the others, they are now in the magic air bubble... the voice in their ears is still wonderful.
In other words, the first medium through which the mermaid's singing is transmitted must be water, and after such transmission, even if the wizard stands on the shore, what he hears is still the singing;
If the mermaid sings while standing on the shore, even if the wizard stays underwater, what he hears is still noise.
Asking...is magic!
"Albus, my old friend."
The female mermaid leader swam over. She had yellow eyes, a string of huge shells around her neck, and clothes made of aquatic plants.
She has a slender cyan tail, the scales are shining coldly, the skin on the upper body is iron gray, and the dark green hair is long and unkempt... more messy than Hermione.
If it weren't for the bulging chest, Rove really couldn't tell that she was a female mermaid.
Ugly is really ugly... It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful voice came from the mouths of this group of mermaids, it really blinded the graceful singing voice.
But not all mermaids are ugly, their appearance is related to the temperature of growth.
Temperature is a very special force that can affect the sex of some animals, such as crocodiles and turtles. Higher ambient temperatures will cause eggs to develop into females, and lower temperatures will cause eggs to develop into males.
The temperature also determines the appearance of different subspecies of mermaid.
Mermaids living in cold waters are ugly, like monsters; as the temperature of the waters rises, mermaids will become very beautiful, especially mermaids living in tropical areas, all of them are standard stunners... Mermaids are generally described as them .
Unfortunately, the mermaids in Black Lake belong to cold water fish.
After the female mermaid leader greeted Dumbledore, she asked, "How is it? Do you like my new song?"
"It's beautiful music, Mercus." Dumbledore said with emotion, "I can't help but want to live here for a long time."
The two used the language of the mermaid, which neither Rove nor Shirley could understand.
As the greatest wizard of the twentieth century, Dumbledore is not only because of defeating Grindelwald, but also because of countless magical achievements.
He is also a master of the language of magical creatures, and together with Newt, he has sorted out many languages and characters that are on the verge of extinction.
The mermaid leader Mercus glanced at the two little wizards behind him, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Albus, don't tell me, this is the healer you brought? Did they graduate from Hogwarts?"
"Not yet." Dumbledore said happily: "But Madam Pomfrey is only good at healing wizards, and has no experience with mermaids, Rove is different.
I introduce you to... Rove! "
Dumbledore spoke English at the end, and Rove hurriedly took a step forward, nodded and said:
"Hi, ma'am, my name is Rolf Scamander, and this is my assistant, Shirley Swinton."
"Scamander?" Mercus' eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's your relationship with Newt Scamander?"
"Ma'am, that's my grandfather, do you know him?" Rove asked cautiously.
"It's more than just acquaintance. When he was studying at Hogwarts, he and I were best friends. I was only a teenager at that time, and I was in my youth."
Mercus's eyes were both regretful and nostalgic, and he sighed:
"Newt is a very interesting boy, gentle and serious. He fell into the lake and almost drowned. I saved him, and he slept with me..."
Mercus paused, then continued: "Slept in my bed."
Rove breathed a sigh of relief, can we finish a sentence without panting? It's scary.
But he still looked weird.
What the hell.
When Newt was in school, he had an affair with the mermaid leader Mercus, right?
That would be a very interesting story, at least Tina would be very interested.
"Later your grandfather was fired. I thought he would stay in Black Lake, but he refused." The more Mercus said, the more angry he said:
"He went to the United States again and was seduced by an ugly monster named Tina Goldstein. Damn it, am I not beautiful!"
"..."
Rove thought to himself, as long as he is not blind, he can determine who is better-looking, Tina or Mercus.
"Let's go see the patient first." Dumbledore interrupted, "By the way, I still want to see Professor Lockhart."
"No problem." Mercus immediately became talkative.
Rove also suddenly understood, no wonder Dumbledore asked him to see a doctor because he wanted to play...Newt card.
Several people walked forward and looked around. There were more and more stone dwellings. Mermaids poured out of the houses, looked at them curiously, then pointed, and covered their mouths with their hands and whispered.
Grindylow was still tied to the doorway of many stone dwellings, and when they saw Rove and the others, they hissed.
Grindylow is a green water monster with horns, but the merfolk have tamed them, similar to Muggle pet dogs.
Mercus and Rove chatted enthusiastically, and Rove was not a child, so he dealt with it seamlessly, and his words were polite, but he didn't give people the feeling of alienation and indifference.
Dumbledore looked at the ancient murals on the rock with great interest, which showed many two-tailed mermaids, holding spears in their hands, guarding a small island.
When passing by a stone dwelling, a figure approached the window, and he shouted:
"Professor Dumbledore, are you here to save me? Hurry up and save me, woo I'm going to die!"
Lockhart seems to have taken herbs, which allowed him to stay underwater for a long time. He has lost weight for more than a month.
But it looks more like being squeezed, and there are thick dark circles on the face.
A mermaid floating in the yard, seeing Lockhart like this, rushed into the house again.
Rove glanced at the mermaid, which seemed to be the one they had knocked out on Christmas the year before last, but it had been too long, and the impression was a bit blurred.
What surprised Rove was...she seemed to be pregnant with a slightly distended belly.
No way, Professor Lockhart is so efficient?
