"That's impossible, Ron! First of all, it's impossible for you to learn how to operate the scuba in an hour. It's quite complicated, and you need professional training before you can use it! " Hermione said, flatly rejecting the suggestion. "Secondly, you'll be disqualified from the competition because you've violated the 'International Code of Magic Confidentiality'. Think about it, a scuba suit whizzing through the countryside towards the Hogwarts without being seen by the Muggle. "
"Then what should I do?" Ron asked, annoyed.
"Of course, the ideal way would be to transform yourself into a submarine or something." Hermione said, "I've seen Elwyn dive into the water, and I've read about it in books. It'd be great if we've already practiced human transformation, but we don't cover it until the sixth grade, and if you don't completely master it, the consequences will be disastrous. "
"Yeah, I don't want to walk around with a diving telescope propped up on my head."
"The Bobbing Spell is also a good choice, but it's also a sixth grade course. Let's look around, maybe there's another way. If it doesn't work, we can wait for Elwyn to come back, and then we can ask him. "Hermione said.
To be honest, she also wanted to find a way to venture underwater with Elwyn, instead of guarding the shore.
This made Hermione feel useless, and she could only hide behind Elwyn and worry. She didn't like this feeling.
So, the three of them went to the library, and once again immersed themselves in the dusty tomes, looking for a spell that could allow people to survive without oxygen. The result was obviously unsuccessful.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione spent the whole day in the library, but still found nothing.
They even asked the librarian, Mrs. Pins, for help, but they didn't get any valuable answers.
"I don't think this will work!" Ron's voice came from the other end of the table. "I've already flipped through fifty books, and I can't find anything. Nothing. Perhaps the Draining Spell is closer to draining the water in ponds and puddles, but I don't have enough magic power to drain the entire lake. "
Harry was also sighing. There were several stacks of books in front of him, so he couldn't see Ron and Hermione.
Like Ron, he flipped through the book quickly and skimmed through the contents.
Every time Harry saw the word "water" in a book, his heart would beat wildly.
But on closer inspection, it was often marked with two pints of dehydrated, half a pound of chopped mandrake, and a newt.
With a snap, he closed the book in his hand, "Tricks to Deal with Pranks".
"I think you should learn to be an Animagus, like Elwyn and Sirius," said Harry.
He thought of Elwyn's research notes on Animagus transformation that were in his bag. Perhaps it would help Ron.
"Yes, I can turn myself into a goldfish at will!" said Ron excitedly.
"Or a frog!" Harry yawned.
"Stop dreaming. Becoming an Animagus requires years of continuous learning." Hermione said in a serious tone, "Even if we help Ron master the necessary knowledge to transform, there's still the problem of magic power that we can't solve. Besides, no one can guarantee that he will turn into a frog or a goldfish. The transformation process is random, and Elwyn turned into a black cat. "
"Hermione, we're just joking!" Harry said weakly.
"If you have the time, you should read a few more books."
"I think we should give up!" Harry said, leaning on the table, "Wait for Elwyn to come back and ask him directly. Isn't he already able to breathe underwater?"
"His method might not be suitable for Ron. I asked Elwyn before, and we don't have the ability to use the spells he mentioned. We don't have enough magic power," Hermione muttered in a low voice as she carefully read the "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells" in her hand.
The details on the book were so dense that she had to move her nose only an inch away from the page.
"Magic power again?!" Ron repeated with a weird expression, as if he was deep in thought.
"Magic power is the foundation of all magic, so it's naturally very important. Unfortunately, other than natural growth, it's very difficult to improve. "Hermione said," Don't be discouraged, Ron! But I think there must be a way. They can't design a project that can't be completed. "
Just like that, another two hours passed.
The number of magic books piled up around the three of them continued to increase, and now even Hermione was getting a little impatient.
She seemed to take the lack of useful materials in the library as an insult to herself. Previously, she could always find the answers in books.
"It's impossible!" Ron said in despair, putting down the thick magic book in his hand. "I'm so sick of this place. I don't want to come back for the rest of my life. Where did Elwyn go? Why hasn't he come back yet? "
"He has something to say to Professor Moody," Hermione said, closing the magic book in her hand.
"But when we had lunch and dinner, we didn't see them in Professor Moody's office. Not a single person was there," Harry said. "That's strange. Where could they have gone?"
At that moment, Keresis had already left the Hogwarts.
When he returned, it was already Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be Moody.
As for Elwyn, he was reading a magic book that he had found by chance in the House of Granted Wishes.
To be more precise, it was a forbidden book.
The book was probably a manuscript written more than six centuries ago. There were many interesting concepts in it.
The entire book was about a powerful black magic called "Cataclysm". Elwyn had never seen this spell before.
This magic was somewhat like an upgraded version of the Corruption Curse. A large pool of poisonous black water would appear under the enemy's feet.
The whole process of casting the spell was silent. By the time the person caught in it noticed, it was already too late. Not only was the black water highly toxic, it would slow down the speed of the person caught in it. It would also explode and burn under the control of the spellcaster, creating a huge impact.
Although the last few pages of the book had been torn out, the magical knowledge recorded at the beginning still fascinated Elwyn.
Seven hours ago, Elwyn walked out of Professor Moody's office.
Then, he went to Dumbledore's office to have a friendly chat with the principal.
