HP's Foreign Land

Chapter 382 Gifts

It was getting brighter, and the students yawned and left the room one after another. When they saw Heimdall sitting on the sofa in the common room pouring tea into his stomach, they couldn't help being stunned, and then laughed and ran over or touched his They patted him on the head or patted him on the shoulder, and a few of them abruptly resisted Master Krum's killing method with eyes, and took the opportunity to pinch his face, pull the back of his hand, and touch his arm in a seemingly wretched manner.

It seems that everyone likes him more now. Heimdall is very relieved and excited. This is the profound revolutionary friendship.

In the end, they told him without thinking, "Because the faces look familiar."

Heimdall almost choked the tea into his intake pipe.

"Didn't you drink enough yesterday?" Everyone was happy to see that Heimdall was about to pour water into the cup again, how did he become like a buffalo.

"It's different." Heimdall was not annoyed, and shook his head seriously, "This is tea, that is a lake, this is hot water, and that is cold water."

After chatting and joking with their classmates for a while, Ryan and Carlo walked into the common room, and they were overjoyed to see Heimdall in human form again, especially Carlo, whose eyes were red again.

Heimdall felt that the air in England made the little fat man sentimental, his nerves became thinner, and he dropped golden beans at every turn.

"I'm really fine." Heimdall said to Carlo with certainty.

Carlo rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I just didn't sleep well."

Heimdall smiled and changed the subject, "Where is Leon?"

Lian shrugged, "Didn't you give him a mermaid ball yesterday, eight or nine times out of ten he didn't sleep all night."

Leon is Heimdall's roommate at school, and he knows something about his perseverance. He didn't expect him to be so diligent and diligent after leaving school. Lost to Leon.

Rian rolled his eyes, this is not the point, okay, he clearly put the emphasis on "I didn't sleep all night".

"I'll go and see him." Heimdall couldn't wait to know if Leon had come up with any tricks, and then looked at Victor, who smiled at him: "I'll go to Hogg later Watts Castle, bring back the golden egg."

Because of the incident where the golden egg was sent back by the mermaid leader, the organizers and participants of the Triwizard Tournament had a better understanding of the safety of the golden egg. Instead of sending the egg back, Victor, one of the warriors, picked it up by himself. This shows that the British Ministry of Magic has worked hard and racked its brains on the return of the Triwizard Tournament after many years.

This matter was not spread due to the low-key handling of the consensus in all aspects. Originally, the British Ministry of Magic wanted to come on board to help find someone, but Karkaroff refused. Helping find someone should be, but Hogg The lake in Watts is so big, why do we have to get on our boat?

The British Ministry of Magic has hit a snag, and they are not ashamed to say this again. As for whether they will carry out a comprehensive tracing plan as they promised, it is unknown.

After Heimdall came back, Karkaroff did not report the news to the British Ministry of Magic at the first time, in order to toss them again—provided that they were indeed cooperating in finding someone, Mr. Principal was just trying to use the problem to vent his anger. Personal anger, Professor Katenen has always maintained a personal style of pretending to be deaf and dumb in this matter.

The young officials of the British Ministry of Magic called him "foolish" behind his back. Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, how can the current Felix Katenen still have the heroic demeanor of being all-powerful and responding to everyone?It's just an old man in decline.

Katenen's identity has always been sensitive. Although it has been artificially bleached, the Ministry of Magic of various countries is still on the verge of canceling his record as a first-class dark wizard, and they are still wary of him.

When the Durmstrang team entered the British territory, the British Auror Command received an order to stand by. If Dumbledore was not determined to let the Aurors who received the order enter Hogwarts, Katenen would He will live a life like a guinea pig under the surveillance of the British Aurors. Katenen, who has been in the wind and rain for decades, will not miss this, so Felix Katenen is happy to continue to be "confused" and has been Since then, he has been very low-key, not only for himself, but also for the reputation of the German school, and to thank Dumbledore for being willing to believe in him, resisting all opinions, and selling him this favor.

***

Heimdall knocked on the door, but couldn't hear the slightest movement from inside the house, so he tried to turn the doorknob, the door opened, and Heimdall poked his head in, "Leon?"

After a while, Leon's voice came from the room with insufficient light, "Come in."

After Heimdall entered, he closed the door with his backhand, squinted his eyes and glanced around, and saw Leon lying lazily on the sofa chair in a dark corner, with his face turned to the other side, Heimdall couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Didn't sleep all night?" Heimdall picked up a wooden chair at the foot of the bed, put it next to the sofa chair, and sat down next to Leon.

Leon turned his face to Heimdall, the two dark circles under his eyes were extremely obvious, he returned the mermaid balls to Heimdall, and answered irrelevantly, "I'm sorry, I still ate some."

Heimdall was not surprised, how could he know the properties of the medicine without taking it?Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs in order to save lives and heal the wounded, but unfortunately died of food poisoning accidentally in the end.Heimdall was also very dedicated. After all, he was the head of the laboratory, and testing medicines was also a traditional fee item. Within the scope of business with the potion laboratory, what the head of the laboratory had to do was to eat The new potion can analyze the formula and raw materials in the first time, and can give the best improvement plan. If it is poison, other medicines that can neutralize the toxicity can be researched as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Heimdall tried no more than three times and had to Give up, because he is the worst-studied head of the experimental laboratory in the field of potions. The potions laboratory thinks he is unreliable, and he himself is afraid that pretending to be ignorant will lose the seniors. Shennong has poisoned himself to death. As far as his level is concerned, he is not worthy to lift Shennong's shoes. No matter what, the potion is really precious, and the price of face is higher. If it is a small fate, both are fine That's why he hasn't had any major business dealings with the Potion Research Office so far, and the two research offices do not interfere with each other, and they get along harmoniously.

Most importantly, Leon Blueleg, the chief general and future director of the Potions Research Office, is Heimdall's best friend. With this relationship in it, the subsequent directors naturally dare not say anything. ——Although Leon is only in the fourth grade, he is already a senior figure in the potion laboratory. In addition, Heimdall has never used his status to point fingers at other laboratories. If he encounters a problem, he will humbly ask for advice , which greatly satisfied the surging vanity of all the pharmacists. Naturally, hello, me, and everyone will come and go.

Heimdall touched the white sailboat that had obviously been cut off a small piece, took out the small waterproof bag in the pocket of his robe, and carefully put it away, "Have you got a name for yourself?"

"I don't know anything else, there is no doubt about the extension of the breath holding time. I just took that small piece, and I obviously feel that the breath holding time is longer than before."

Leon was very interested in the mermaid balls, because the white sailboat has gone beyond the wizards' inherent concept of potion science. This is a brand new, unprecedented field of potion. Leon was so excited that he was like a chicken It was like blood, so I didn't close my eyes all night, not because I didn't want to sleep, but because I really couldn't sleep.

"Did the mermaid mention what this ball was made of?"

Heimdall shook his head, "I'm not interested in discussing potions with the mermaid."

Leon immediately put on a look of hating iron but not steel, what a good opportunity he wasted.

Heimdall said helplessly, "I didn't have time to study this at that time. At first I thought about how to deal with the water monster, but then I was busy making friends with the mermaid." Heimdall didn't hide it from him.

Leon felt a little embarrassed at once, normally he wouldn't be so uneasy, but when it comes to potions, especially potions that he has never seen before, Leon's heart is like a pot of boiling water, he can't wait Gududu was steaming outside.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps stopped suddenly outside Leon's room. Heimdall and Leon looked at each other in confusion. After three symbolic knocks on the door, the person outside He opened it without asking, and squeezed a head through the crack of the door.

It's Carlo.

The little fat man's eyes sparkled, and he looked extremely excited, shouting at the two people in the room, "Quick! Go to the deck!"

"What's wrong?" Heimdall asked.

"You'll find out when you get there!" Carlo was obviously the one keeping the secret, but he was more anxious to reveal the answer than the two of them. He ran into the room and dragged the two of them up one by one, pushing them out of the door. "hurry up!"

Heimdall and Leon looked at each other helplessly, followed Carlo out of the cabin and boarded the deck.

The two of them were stunned as soon as they got on the deck, it was so big, so wet, so rough...

Water was everywhere on the deck, and a gray-black tentacles as thick as a tree stump lay quietly on the deck. To be precise, it was entangled in a fishing net. Professor Katenen had already untied the fishing net with magic. Two students worked together to lift the fishing net and throw it back into the lake. The net sank as soon as it entered the lake.

Everyone expressed their opinions around the wrist with excitement. A few students touched the tactile sensation with their hands out of curiosity. Many students nearby were splashed and glared at them one after another. This phenomenon conveyed a message to the people on land that this tentacle was absolutely fresh, and it might have just been separated.

Seeing the stunned Heimdall, Katenen smiled and crossed the tentacle wrist, handing a wet letter in front of him, then pouted at the tentacle wrist, "It seems that these mermaids have gained a lot today, Giant squids are an excellent meal for them, and they actually gave you a whole tentacle arm, you did well with them."

Heimdall took over the extremely dilapidated and shabby letter, and opened it very carefully. The already tattered paper was even more fragile after being soaked in water. When I opened it, I squinted my eyes involuntarily, the ink was blurred into a ball on the paper, and I couldn't see what was originally written.

Katenen glanced at the letter paper calmly, and sighed, "It's not easy for them to write you this letter in the way of human beings." The implication is not to feel offended, and not to use human standards to measure the mermaid.

"I understand, I'm actually quite moved." Heimdall didn't have any negative emotions in his heart, and the smile on his face came from the heart.

***

Heimdall generously invited everyone to taste it together, but no one responded except Carlo, and the students were all disgusted by the slime. In addition, the appearance of the giant squid's tentacles was really bad, and it couldn't whet people's appetite. Rejecting Heimdall's kindness on the grounds that "the mermaid is giving you a gift", Heimdall said he was very hurt.

In fact, Carlo was quite hesitant. Seeing that everyone was not eating, he started to retreat. Heimdall grabbed his neck and said, "If you are a brother, don't be polite to me."

Blocked all of Carlo's words in his throat, Carlo was so depressed.

There is a kitchen on the three-masted ship. Of course, this kitchen cannot be compared with Durmstrang’s kitchen. The German school team brought two house elves to the UK this time. They cannot enter Hogwarts without Dumbledore’s permission. Fort, the two house elves usually stay on the boat, responsible for cleaning and providing food when needed. In most cases, everyone will go to the Great Hall of the castle to eat. Karkaroff means that they can go to Hogwarts to eat Why drink so much and spend your own money.

The idea of ​​the headmaster coincides with Heimdall's. Taking this point of view as a separate analysis, Heimdall seems to have introduced the headmaster as a confidant.

Since December, the weather has been getting colder every day. After the initial excitement passed, everyone didn't want to blow the cold wind anymore, and filed into the cabin. Heimdall saw Leon leaning on the bulwark staring at the water in a daze, so he walked over and said : "What are you looking at?"

"I'm thinking that the raw materials for making those mermaid balls are probably produced in this lake..."

"Have you tried to parse the white sailboat?"

"did not succeed."

"Shall I help you ask?"

After hearing this, Leon quickly asked, "Can this work?"

"Why not." In fact, Heimdall hadn't given up on his original idea. He really wanted to get close to the mermaid. Today's giant squid's arm touch made Heimdall very excited. He thought it was worth getting close to the mermaid, at least the mermaid didn't Human badness, they will not be ungrateful.

After all, Heimdall is a person who has experienced two lives. Unlike the wizards born and bred in this world, he has no contempt for magical animals, only fear. In this respect, his thinking is closer to Muggles. He is afraid because he does not understand them, but once he understands these animals He felt that it was a good choice to have a relationship with them. Heimdall never dared to underestimate the power of magical animals, such as centaurs. They possess extraordinary intelligence that is no less than that of humans. In the era when wars were raging and the people were struggling to live, wizards always left a strong and colorful stroke of magical animals on the magnificent historical scroll.

Maybe one day he will need the help of the mermaid... Besides, even if his life is over, there will be nothing wrong with the mermaid, just the food that the mermaid will give him is enough for him to smile.

Just as Heimdall became more and more excited and eager to try, the pod cat jumped out from nowhere and jumped onto his shoulder.

[no!no!no! ! ! ]

This series of roars almost knocked Heimdall unconscious.

【what's wrong with you? ] Heimdall shouted in his heart.

[Do you want to go into the water again? ] Pods hop feet.

【...Just thinking about it. 】

[I can't even think about it! ]

Heimdall sighed in his heart, 【What's going on? 】

[Did you think you really became Lusalka?It's just a simple drug trigger. Even if you go into the water now, you will still drown. Moreover, returning to the ancestors does not make you an ancestor, but possesses one or several qualities of the ancestors. In the final analysis, you are still a human being. ]

【I understand. 】Heimdall originally wanted to add, I still have fish balls, if I can’t, I will swallow the balls and see how it works, but the cat is so anxious, Heimdall swallowed the words.

[Why did you suddenly take care of this matter? ] Heimdall couldn't help being a little curious.

[You think I want to control, the muscular man asked me to watch you, he is afraid that you will be impulsive again. ] Pod looks eager to get rid of something.

Turned to Victor so soon?Heimdall was depressed for a while.

But he still has a certain understanding of this cat, 【Are those foods delicious? 】[It's delicious, especially Honeydukes' new product chocolate...] The pod cat suddenly stopped talking.

Did you guess right? !

[You foodie!One thing betrayed me, the master! 】

[You usually don’t buy it for me, you are stingy and stingy. ] Pod seems wronged.

[You still have reason! ] Heimdall narrowed his eyes.

The pod cat ran away with a meow, anyway, it was convinced that its stingy master would not be impulsive.

Heimdall was dumbfounded on the deck, but he turned his head and thought that he was a little aggressive. If he went into the water without any preparations, the result would be unpredictable. Magical animals regard their own territory as life and dignity. On the basis of non-aggression between land and lake water, it is hard to say after entering the water. Even if he is really half aquarium, there is still a big difference between Lusalka and mermaid in essence.

Maybe Sambu really regards himself as a benefactor, whether other mermaids will sell this face, whether they welcome him as well, or two things - as mentioned before, Heimdall, as a human, does not understand the consensus of the aquariums to cherish each other , even if he rashly enters the water, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack the mermaid or commit crimes on the mermaid's territory, the mermaid who doesn't welcome him will just turn a blind eye to him and won't fight directly.

"Think long-term." Heimdall murmured.

Leon nodded, "I'm going to stay until next year anyway, I have plenty of time."

Leon saw that Heimdall's eyes were dull and silent, thinking that he was thinking about it, so he fell into his own thoughts. Later, when he heard Heimdall's words, he thought he was speaking to himself, and immediately answered.

Heimdall knew that he had misunderstood, but he did not clarify. He smiled, and the two entered the cabin one after the other.

As soon as they entered the common room, Li An hurriedly waved to them, and all the students looked beaming.

"What are you talking about?" Heimdall couldn't help laughing, infected by their good mood.

"Professor Katenen said that he has already negotiated with Professor Dumbledore. After lunch, Hogwarts will send us a few carriages to take us to Hogsmeade Village." The students told him and Lai hold head high.

"Why do you suddenly think of going to Hogsmeade?" Leon asked puzzled.

Everyone was happy, "Leon doesn't remember either."

"Don't remember anything?" Leon was even more confused by their fun.

"It's almost Christmas, don't you want to do some shopping?" Rian called.

Carlo followed up with a rough howl, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Blueleg!"
