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 saw and heard, it was indeed quite insightful.
He slid down the back of the giant squid and looked toward the center of the square. He saw a large group of mermaids singing songs with girl-like voices. The voices were ethereal and graceful, and the water flowed rustlingly, as if they were singing along with them...
If you ignore the ugly appearance of those mermaids, this is indeed a beautiful picture.
The three people walked towards the center of the square. Dumbledore, who was walking at 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 opening dinner, but unfortunately..."
Shirley walked side by side with Rolf. She looked up at the principal and asked doubtfully: "They don't want to go to Hogwarts?"
"That's not true, but once out of the water, the mermaid's singing turns into noise." Dumbledore said regretfully.
Seeing that the girl was still a little confused, Luo Fu patiently explained:
"The mermaid's song is beautiful in the water, but when it reaches the shore, it will be gritty and harsh, even if it is recorded."
The voice of the mermaid is related to the communication medium. It sounds completely different when transmitted in different media.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is entirely related to the media.
Like Luo Fu and others, they are now in the magic air bubble...the sounds in their ears are still very beautiful.
In other words, the first medium for the mermaid's song to spread must be water. After it is spread like this, even if the wizard stands on the shore, what he hears is still the song;
If a mermaid stands on the shore and sings, the wizard will still hear noise even if he stays underwater.
Ask...that's magic!
"Albus, my old friend."
The mermaid female leader swam over. Her eyes were yellow, she wore a string of huge shells around her neck, and she was also wearing clothes made of water plants.
She has a slender cyan tail, scales gleaming with cold light, the skin of her upper body is iron-grey, and her dark green hair is long and unkempt...even more messy than Hermione's.
If it weren't for the swollen chest, Luo Fe really wouldn't be able to tell that she was a female mermaid.
Ugly, really ugly... It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful voice came from the mouths of these mermaids, which really ruined the beautiful singing voices.
But not all mermaids are ugly, their appearance is related to the temperature in which they grow.
Temperature is a very special force that can affect the gender of some animals, such as crocodiles and turtles. Higher ambient temperatures will cause eggs to develop into females, while lower temperatures will cause eggs to develop into males.
The temperature also determines the appearance of different subspecies of mermaids.
The mermaids living in cold waters are ugly and monster-like in appearance; as the temperature of the water increases, the mermaids will become very beautiful, especially the mermaids living in the tropics, all of them are standard beauties... Mermaids are generally described as them
.
Unfortunately, the mermaids in Black Lake are cold water fish.
After the mermaid leader greeted Dumbledore, she asked: "How is it? Do you like my new song?"
"It's very beautiful music, Mercus." Dumbledore said with emotion: "I can't help but want to live here for a long time."
The two of them spoke the language of mermaids, which neither Luo Fu nor Shirley could understand.
Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of the 20th century, not only because he defeated Grindelwald, but also because of his numerous magical achievements.
He is also a master of the language of magical creatures, and together with Newt, he has sorted out many languages and texts that are on the verge of being lost.
Merkus, the female mermaid leader, glanced at the two little wizards behind him, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Albus, don't tell me, this is the therapist you brought? Have they graduated from Hogwarts?"
"Not yet." Dumbledore said happily: "But Madam Pomfrey is only good at treating wizards and has no experience with mermaids. Rolf is different.
Let me introduce to you...Rolf!"
The last thing Dumbledore said was English. Rolf quickly took a step forward, nodded and said:
"Hello, ma'am, my name is Rolf Scamander, and this is my assistant, Shirley Swinton."
"Scamander?" Merkus's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "What is your relationship with Newt Scamander?"
"Madam, that's my grandfather, do you know him?" Luofu asked cautiously.
"More than just knowing each other, he and I were best friends when we were studying at Hogwarts. I was only a teenager at that time and in my prime."
Merkus's eyes were full of regret and nostalgia, and he sighed:
"Newt is a very interesting boy, gentle yet a little serious. He fell into the lake and almost drowned. I even saved him, and he even slept with me..."
Merkus paused and continued: "Slept in my bed."
Luo Fu took a breath, can we finish the sentence without gasping for breath? It's too scary.
But he still looked weird.
What.
When Newt was in school, didn't he have an affair with Merkus, the female mermaid leader?
That's a really interesting story, and at least Tina will probably be very interested in it.
"Later your grandfather was fired. I wanted him to stay in Black Lake, but he refused." Merkus became angrier as he spoke:
"He went to the United States again and was seduced by an ugly woman named Tina Goldstein. Damn it, am I not beautiful?"
"..."
Rolf thought to himself that as long as he was not blind, he could determine who was more beautiful, Tina or Mercus.
"Let's go see the patient first." Dumbledore interrupted: "By the way, I also want to see Professor Lockhart."
"No problem." Merkus immediately became talkative.
Rolf also suddenly understood. No wonder Dumbledore asked him to see a doctor. It turned out that he wanted to play... the Newt card.
Several people walked forward and looked around. There were more and more stone dwellings. Mermaids poured out of the houses, looking at them curiously, then pointing, covering their mouths with their hands and whispering.
Grindylow was tied to the door of many stone dwellings. When he saw Rolf and the others, he hissed.
Grindylow is a green water monster with horns, but mermaids have tamed them, similar to Muggle pet dogs.
Merkus and Rove chatted enthusiastically. Rove was not a child either. He dealt with things flawlessly and spoke politely, but he did not give off the feeling of alienation or indifference.
Dumbledore looked at the ancient murals on the rocks with interest, which showed many two-tailed mermaids holding spears in their hands and guarding an island.
While passing by a small stone house, a figure came to the window and shouted:
"Professor Dumbledore, are you here to save me? Please help me, oooo~ I'm going to die!"
Lockhart seemed to have taken some medicinal herbs and was able to move underwater for a long time. After more than a month of absence, he had lost a lot of weight.
But he looked more like he was squeezed, and there were thick dark circles on his face.
A female fish floated in the yard. Seeing Lockhart like this, she hurried into the house again.
Luofu glanced at the mermaid, which seemed to be the one they had knocked unconscious on Christmas Day before last year, but it had been so long that the impression was a bit blurry.
What surprised Luo Fu was... her belly was slightly bulging, and she seemed to be pregnant.
No way, Professor Lockhart is so efficient?
