Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 303 The Second Trial: Transform into a Giant Dragon!
After Furong, came Ginny.

Ginny was much more reserved than Fleur. During the dance, she simply stared at Harry with a flushed face, not blinking an eye.

After the dance ended, the girl almost fainted.

Before we knew it, the ball was over.

Besides Hermione, Ginny, and Fleur, other witches invited Harry to dance.

Harry refused most of them, but he didn't refuse some of those he was on good terms with, such as Angelina, a member of the Quidditch team.

After the ball ended, Hermione pulled Harry outside, and the two eventually came to a secluded patch of grass.

The two lay down in the grass, at which point Hermione, her face flushed, complained:

"Hibiscus and Ginny are such a nuisance, but we managed to shake them off."

Harry smiled but did not answer.

As night deepened, countless stars shone in the sky, and moonlight fell like a silver veil, making the grass, which was filled with magical light, appear even more ethereal.

Suddenly, Hermione stopped her incessant complaining, and Harry noticed that she was staring intently at him, her eyes filled with flirtatious glances.

Hermione's breath brushed against Harry's bangs, ruffled by the night wind, and her trembling fingertips traced the curve of his jaw.

Finally, the little witch mustered her courage and slowly leaned closer until she felt Harry's hot breath.

The moment their noses touched, the willow tree in the distance shook off the snow covering its body, startling a flock of sleeping owls.

Her lips lightly touched the corner of his slightly parted mouth, tasting the lingering flavor of the mint.

Without hesitation, Harry took the initiative, grabbing the back of her neck and pulling her closer.

Moonlight streamed over their intertwined shadows, the grass rustled softly, and a magical dandelion suddenly bloomed, its seeds, enveloped in starlight, drifting between their mingled breaths.

Hermione's fingers dug into Harry's dark hair, feeling his rapid heartbeat transmitted through her chest, gradually merging with her own pulse.

The lights of the distant castle became blurry spots of light at this moment, but the temperature of their contact was hotter than any magical flame.

………………

For the next period of time, nothing was different from usual.

However, one thing is worth noting: Harry originally did not intend to unravel the secret of the golden egg.

But due to an accident, he successfully solved the secret of the golden egg.

That day, while he was taking a bath at the bathhouse, he suddenly realized that the voice of the golden egg was somewhat similar to that of the mermaids in the multiverse. So he put the golden egg into the water and, sure enough, got the correct answer.

He placed the golden egg under the foamy surface of the water and opened it... This time, it didn't scream.

A gurgling song emanated from the golden egg, the song coming from beneath the water:

Look for us, where our voices can be heard.

We cannot sing on the ground.

When you search, please think carefully:

We stole your most beloved treasure.

You only have one hour.

To find and reclaim the items we took,
After an hour, all hope was lost.
It has vanished completely and will never reappear.

Based on the lyrics, Harry deduced that the second challenge was for them to dive into the Black Lake to find the mermaids.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Harry has recently been studying Transfiguration. Ordinary Transfiguration cannot transform him into magical creatures; at most, he can transform into ordinary animals such as sharks, cats, and dogs.

Harry's research into shapeshifting is somewhat similar to that of druids in certain universes of the multiverse, allowing them to transform into magical creatures.

However, unlike druids who can transform into a fixed number of magical animals, the Transfiguration spell can transform into a variety of magical animals, as long as you are very familiar with the magical animal you are about to transform into.

Because of its powerful effects, this magic is extremely complex and difficult to learn.

Harry has been researching this for months, and only recently has he finally made a breakthrough. He expects to be able to complete it within a few days.

Once it's done, Harry can transform into some kind of magical creature and dive into the Black Lake to find mermaids.

………………

When Harry told Hermione that he had unlocked the secret of the golden egg, Miss Otter was very surprised.

After all, she knew that Harry had been busy researching a new kind of magic lately, staying in the library and not studying the golden egg.

Even so, Harry still managed to unlock the secret of the golden egg.

Hermione asked curiously, "How did you unlock the secret of the golden egg? And what is the secret of the golden egg?"

Harry turned to a new page and explained:
"Simply place the golden egg in the water, and the piercing noise will turn into the mermaid's beautiful song."

Judging from the lyrics, the second task requires us to dive into the Black Lake to find the mermaid.

Suddenly, a melodious and charming voice rang out from the side:
"So that's how it is. I was still struggling to unlock the secret of the golden egg."

"As expected of you, Harry, you're amazing!"

This wasn't Hermione's voice, which both of them recognized; it was Fleur, who had somehow appeared beside them.

Hermione was a little angry, pouting her cheeks and scolding in a sweet voice:

"You are so rude to eavesdrop on our conversation."

Harry solved the secret of the golden egg; you can't rely on such underhanded methods to obtain information.

You must make it up to Harry!

Despite being scolded by Hermione in a sweet voice, Fleur wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled charmingly:
"Of course, I will definitely thank Harry properly."

At first glance, this statement seems harmless, but when combined with the ambiguous smile on Furong's face, it easily leads to speculation.

Hermione became even angrier. "You're such a bad woman!"

"Thank you~~~"

………………

Soon, it was time for the second test to begin.

Around noon, everyone arrived at the Black Lake.

Hogwarts winters are cold; a thin layer of frost covers the castle, and icicles hang low from the curtains, as if they might fall at any moment.

Normally, the lake should be frozen over in such cold weather, but for today's test, a large number of wizards from the Ministry of Magic cast spells on the Black Lake the day before, causing the hard ice to melt.

Even so, the Black Lake was still frigid, and the four warriors, wearing only thin clothing, still had to wade into the water. Even knowing the test's content and preparing beforehand, it was still a difficult challenge. By the time Harry, Hermione, and Ron arrived at the arena for the second test, most of the wizards had already arrived.

As Harry ran down the lawn, he saw that the seats that had surrounded the Dragon's Penitentiary last November were now arranged in tiers on the opposite bank of the lake, completely full, and reflected in the lake below.

After Harry took his place, Fleur arrived as the last one.

The Veela was wearing a thin swimsuit, revealing large expanses of fair skin, making her look exceptionally dazzling.

Fleur winked at Harry and whispered, "Do you like my outfit today?"

Miss Veela was too enthusiastic, but it had no effect on Harry. He remained calm, glanced at her, and did not reply.

However, Harry thought to himself, "How did this little witch develop? Her figure is better than most succubi. Could it be that Veela also has some succubus blood?"

Once all four warriors have arrived, the match will begin shortly.

Bagman, still the referee, stood on the highest platform, raising his voice with a loudspeaker spell, and proclaimed:

"Welcome to the second event. Last night, four warriors had something stolen from them—their treasure."

Each of these four treasures has one for each warrior, and they are currently lying at the bottom of Black Lake. To win, each warrior only needs to find the treasure and return to the surface.

However, remember that the competition has a time limit; they only have one hour to bring the baby to the surface to win and score points!

As Bagman's voice faded, the four warriors simultaneously jumped into the Black Lake.

As soon as they entered the lake, Harry discreetly observed the other three warriors.

It was obvious that they were all chilled by the water of the Black Lake. The two wizards were a little better; they only shivered slightly before recovering.

But the only witch, Fleur, was in much worse condition. She was shivering from the cold, and Harry was worried that she would lose all mobility in the water and be forced to withdraw from the competition.

However, Harry had no intention of helping Fleur, since it would be unfair to the other two champions, and besides, Fleur was a strong-willed witch who wouldn't allow him to do so.

However, Harry focused some of his attention on Fleur, so he could quickly rescue her if she were in danger.

Harry observed that all three of them had mastered the method of breathing underwater.

Both Cedric and Fleur used the standard Bubble Charm to breathe underwater.

This method is the easiest, but it tests the skill of the spell. If the bubble breaks in the water, it will be eliminated immediately.

Krum's method surprised Harry; he transformed his upper body into a shark, granting him the ability to breathe underwater for extended periods.

Several methods are similar to the one Harry chose, but their intensity is vastly different.

Krum only transformed into an ordinary shark; it wasn't a complete transformation.

Harry, on the other hand, transformed into a magical dragon that was a hundred meters long!
The underwater world of Black Lake is quite different from that of ordinary lakes. Perhaps due to magic, the underwater world of Black Lake is not completely dark, and some magical aquatic plants emit light.

As we gradually ventured deeper into West Lake, the surrounding environment underwent dramatic changes within a hundred meters.

The previously sparse aquatic plants suddenly became dense, and a large amount of giant kelp grew in front of them.

The dark green giant kelp, like long hair under an expansion spell, stretched and coiled in the water. Glowing silver shrimp and crabs clung to its leaves, leaving phosphorescent trails as they crawled, resembling a moving star map.

We crossed a precipice and followed the school of fish deeper into the water.

The faint sound of mermaids singing could be heard all around, and suddenly Harry sensed a large number of creatures approaching him.

It was a water monster with horns on its head, emerging from the water plants. Its long, sharp nails were incredibly sharp, and its mouth revealed sharp teeth.

This is Grindylow, an aquatic monster classified as "XXXXX". It usually inhabits freshwater areas such as lakes and rivers. Of course, there are some in the Black Lake, but there shouldn't be so many. It seems that this is the work of the Ministry of Magic, which has increased the difficulty of the second test.

To deal with Grindylows normally, you only need to use the Flame Burning Curse, as they are afraid of fire.

However, it is obviously impossible to cast the Flame Burning Charm in water; it needs to be combined with a Waterproof Charm, or a Repel Charm, which has little effect.

Harry certainly has a way to deal with them, namely the recently developed Alien Shapeshifting Technique.

However, just as he was about to cast the spell, he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from not far away.

It was Furong; she had indeed encountered danger!

Harry shook his head, somewhat helplessly, and immediately began casting a spell.

As the green light burst from the tip of the wand, his bones rapidly reassembled.

The swimsuit fabric ripped open with a "rip," transforming into countless black butterflies fluttering in the air, while his back arched with jagged bony protrusions, and scales grew layer upon layer like cooled lava.

The dark green dragon scales gleamed with a metallic sheen, each one shimmering with runes, and emanating a scarlet glow in the water.

His neck stretched wildly, and the hot air surging in his throat twisted the surrounding water into a whirlpool.

As their front paws broke through the ground, several Greendylos were easily torn to shreds.

After the transformation was complete, Harry had become a hundred-meter-long magical dragon.

At that moment, he felt his limbs and bones brimming with power, a power even stronger than when he released the enhancement runes derived from the Hulk. This power originated from the physique of a dragon, a function of a terrifying monster that could reach the level of a Celestial through physical prowess.

Because Harry had inscribed water elemental runes on the dragon's scales while in the water, his speed in the water was not affected at all.

Harry spun around and instantly darted hundreds of meters away, immediately spotting Fleur being entangled by a large group of Grindylows.

However, although Harry's goal was to save Fleur, Fleur, unaware of the truth, clearly disliked Harry's arrival.

When she saw a colossal creature a hundred meters long coming to attack her, it has to be said that even though Fleur was quite mature, the little witch was still terrified and even burst into tears.

I'm doomed, I'm definitely going to die!

What kind of monster is this? Even Dumbledore couldn't save himself!

Hibiscus was plunged into despair. But suddenly she realized that the giant dragon in front of her did not attack her, but carefully held her in its palm.

To her even greater surprise, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in her mind:

"Fleur, don't be afraid, it's me, Harry. I'm here to save you, but it looks like your grades are going to be ruined."

Fleur, overjoyed at her miraculous escape, cried tears of happiness and hugged Harry's finger tightly, saying:
"Never mind, Harry, hurry up and save me. Wait, don't forget my sister, she's still in the Black Lake."

Harry nodded and slowly made his way to the deepest part of the Black Lake.

It needs to control its speed, after all, it is still holding the hibiscus in its hand.

If the acceleration is too fast, then the hibiscus will turn into a puddle of minced meat due to the terrifying acceleration and the enormous pressure of the water flow.

Harry didn't want the Triwizard Tournament, which was supposed to be a contest of courage and wisdom, to suddenly turn into a murder scene.

After the two reached the deepest part, they discovered a small village of mermaids.

In the very center of the village stands a rough statue, a large mermaid carved from stone.

Two people were firmly bound to it, one of whom was Hermione, and the other was a little girl.
