HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 166: Information about the Golden Egg

As time passed, people in the academy invited dance partners one after another. From the former pure-blood group, Zabini invited Pansy, and Daphne took the initiative to invite Theodore, who did not refuse.

As for Crabbe and Goyle, surprisingly, Crabbe danced with Millicent Bulstrode.

Ever since she was beaten up in second grade, Millicent had completely left the group.

It was later revealed that after the events of the second year Duel Club, Gloria gave the two of them the wand that Millicent had left behind, Goyle was obsessed with dessert, and Crabbe gave the wand back to Millicent, and the two of them developed a deeper friendship from then on.

Among the four warriors, only Gloria is not single, and the other three warriors have received many invitations.

Especially Fleur and Krum from other schools. Girls are bolder than boys. Many girls follow Krum, but for Hermione, he often goes to the library.

The girls didn't talk often, but they would often stare at Krum and laugh.

After lunch on weekends, many people stay in the auditorium to study. It is warm here and people can talk freely.

Gloria didn't have many books left. When she turned to the next page, she saw a line of useful information: Mermaids living in the ocean are beautiful, and their beautiful singing voices can be heard far away whether underwater or on the ground; on the contrary, mermaids living in fresh water are ugly, and can sing underwater but not on the ground...

She immediately began to wonder, if the ground couldn't sing, what kind of sound would it make if it did?

Underwater, on the ground...

Gloria put away all the books and hurried to the lounge.

Since there is only one person in this single dormitory and she is one of the school directors, it can be partially renovated, so there is a large bathtub in the bathroom.

Three snakes came out of the school robes, and Golinia said, "What's wrong?"

"I roughly know how to detect the information in the golden egg, but I need to try it underwater." Gloria threw away the small bag and went to the bathroom to take off her clothes.

Jörmungandr and Apophis stayed outside obediently, and only Golinia was allowed to go in.

"Tell us if you know." Jörmungandr reminded, "We can work together to figure out how to pass this level."

"understood."

Gloria dipped into the warm water and slid under the water holding the golden egg. This time, when she opened the golden egg, there was no longer a piercing scream, but a melodious song:

"Find us, where our song is heard

We can't sing on the ground

As you search, consider:

We took away your most cherished treasure

You only need an hour

To find and take back the things we took

After an hour, all hope is gone

It is gone, never to be seen again.”

There weren't many words to the song, but Gloria memorized them quickly. She emerged from the water, closed the golden egg and placed it next to the bathtub.

"It is indeed a mermaid. The second task is underwater. I have to stay there for an hour to find the treasure that I am most reluctant to part with."

"The one we are most reluctant to part with." Golinia flicked her snake tail happily. "That must be us."

"It's hard to say." Gloria didn't think the referee would take her snake away. Dumbledore would not take the initiative to expose the three snakes. "I think it's the important people around him."

If it was someone important, Draco would be first.

"Leave the boy underwater for an hour," Apophis said. "Gloria will be distressed."

It's so cold this season.

"Since it's a reformed competition, the participants' safety must be higher than that of the Warriors, and they won't get frostbite." Gloria thought for a moment, "My baby is Draco, Harry is Ron, Krum will probably choose Hermione, and Fleur... should be a classmate with whom I have a good relationship."

The second project is underwater, and there is only the Black Lake near Hogwarts.

Golinia said, "Now that you know the content of the competition, you have plenty of time to prepare. Remember, you seem to have learned the spell for breathing underwater."

Gloria nodded. "I have learned it, but I have never actually used it."

She spent most of her time in the castle and never went down to the lake.

"I'll go tell Draco." She got up from the bathtub and dressed. "He's been quite irritable lately because of the information about the golden egg."

Jörmungandr was unhappy, "We are not your most cherished ones."

Apophis replied, "That's right!"

"Five magic gems for each snake." Gloria gave the 'consolation' straightforwardly.

The Christmas dance is just a few days away, and most of the students who stay on campus have chosen their dance partners. The girls often gather together to excitedly talk about clothes and hairstyles.

Today, there was a Potions class. When Gloria walked in, she saw many Gryffindor students sitting down. What surprised her was that Seamus and Neville, who had a good relationship with Harry and his friends, were sitting together.

"We'll sit on the side near the door today." She pulled Draco to choose the seat farthest from Seamus and Neville.

The boy didn't think much about it and asked the bodyguard to put their schoolbags on the table. He has been in a much better mood recently, after knowing the secret of the golden egg.

The heated discussion about the dance in the classroom disappeared instantly when Professor Snape walked in.

The professor walked to the podium and glanced at everyone, "I suggest you focus on the antidote formula."

This sentence made the Gryffindor students silent, and the leisurely Slytherin students crossed their arms and watched them laugh.

"Today's content is still to prepare the antidote." Snape said, his eyes swept over Neville, "For the sake of your lives, please put more thought into it."

The professor would ask them to prepare the antidote every few classes, and those who had already successfully prepared one could improve or change the recipe.

Gloria and Draco have successfully brewed the antidote, this time using a new formula.

About twenty minutes later, a violent hissing sound was heard from the rear, and a large amount of white smoke came out of Seamus and Neville's cauldrons. Professor Snape's face turned completely black.

The flame under the crucible danced actively, Neville was so scared that his face turned pale, all the students around him avoided it, the liquid in the crucible bubbled and exploded, Seamus threw some ingredients into the pot in a hurry.

"Don't move--!" Professor Snape shouted in a deep voice, but it was too late.

The crucible was inexplicably burned through. The liquid in the pot was already reacting violently, and when it was poured on the fire it exploded with a hiss, shattering the crucible along with it.

All the students squatted under the tables early to hide. Draco held Gloria's head and crawled under the table. The exploded potion and crucible fragments splashed everywhere, and some potion even splashed to the place where they were just now.

After the explosion, Draco came out from under the table with a pale face, "Are you going to kill us?"

Seamus and Neville were lucky enough that Professor Snape had cast a protective spell on them, otherwise they would have gone to the hospital wing.

Gloria stood up. The Potions classroom was a mess. Not only were the tables and chairs dirty, but some of the bottles around were broken, and the potion ingredients inside were scattered all over the floor. The books that the students had placed on the tables were not spared either.

It could be cleaned up with a spell, but Professor Snape was definitely not in the mood to watch these two brew potions.

"Amazing talent." Snape's eyes looked as if he wanted to drown the two of them in the potion. "Alright, you can't be grouped together in the future. I'm assigning homework now. Go to the Great Hall to do it."

He was afraid that if he looked at the mess in the classroom for one more second, he would be so angry that he would die.

The professor assigned all the homework in one go and required it to be completed before the end of get out of class.
