Little Shanna's Great Adventure in the Black Lake

"But how are we supposed to see where we're going?"

Visibility is already poor underwater, and now that it's nighttime, it's practically pitch black.

"Sigh~!"

Shanna sighed helplessly again.

"Both of you stay put and don't move."

As she spoke, Shanna used her Wand to tap each of their temples.

If there were a mirror in front of them at that moment, they would see that their eyes quickly turned orange-yellow, and their pupils slit up, becoming black lines.

"Wow! That's amazing! Shanna, what did you do?"

Looking at the colorful underwater world before her, Phyllis would have thought it was daytime if she hadn't been completely blind just moments before.

No, that's not right! Even during the day, the underwater view shouldn't be this clear!

"I have Human Transformation your eyes."

Shanna said casually.

Incidentally, the Transfiguration template was inspired by Fina, who was idly munching on grass on the shore.

After resolving the visibility issue, the three quickly descended.

"Look! That fish is so beautiful!"

"Look! That fish is so ugly!"

"Look! That fish... that doesn't look like a fish, it's Grindylow! What do we do, Shanna! The Grindylow is attacking us!"

The vibrant underwater world quickly eased Phyllis and Lena's tension. They curiously observed this unfamiliar yet beautiful world before them.

Phyllis, in particular, is an excited little girl who exclaims at everything she sees and shares it with her two best friends. This is driving Shanna to her utter annoyance!

"Phyllis, be quiet!"

Shanna said somewhat unhappily.

Phyllis's boisterous antics made it seem like they were on a picnic, completely ruining the serious atmosphere.

We cannot relax until the very last moment before the plan is completed!

My Gege said it!

I think my Gege must have mentioned this before, right?

Shanna was a little unsure.

"But, Grindylow..."

Phyllis stared in horror at her feet. She realized that Grindylow wasn't the only one she had seen; there was a whole group following behind!

Glancing impatiently at the group of annoying fellows trying to cause her trouble, Shanna stirred the water with her Wand.

A vortex rapidly formed around the Grindylow closest to the three people and rushed towards the Grindylow group in the distance.

The Grindylow, caught in the current, had no way to escape. They howled as they were swept into the whirlpool, disoriented and disoriented, not knowing where they were thrown to.

In fact, these Grindylow should feel fortunate. If they weren't so stupid and lacked clear thinking, Shanna might have killed them to silence them.

"Alright, that's it for Grindylow. We need to pick up the pace and try to avoid the Magical Animals in the water."

Any movement in water will inevitably cause ripples. Many aquatic Magical Animals can sense these ripples, so the Disillusionment Charm has almost no effect in water.

Otherwise, Shanna would have already activated her Disillusionment Charm, sneaked right up to the Giant Squid, and subdued it.

"Oh no! Hide!"

Suddenly, Shanna grabbed Phyllis and Lena's arms, used her Transfiguration to control the water around her, and quickly hid behind a rock.

"W-What's wrong?"

Lena asked nervously in a low voice.

"It's a fish-man!"

Shanna leaned close to their ears and whispered something.

"The water currents from when we dealt with Grindylow probably attracted the attention of the nearby merfolk. Don't worry, they won't find us."

As she spoke, Shanna cast Disillusionment Charm on herself and the other two.

When moving, the Disillusionment Charm cannot conceal the ripples of the water. However, when stationary, it still has some effect.

"Waaaaah~!"

One of the fishmen, who seemed to be the leader, gave an order to the other fishmen, and they then dispersed to search the area.

At first, Shanna patiently hid. But after a while, the little girl became impatient.

How long are these wretched, ugly creatures going to take to find her? Don't they know she's pressed for time?

After her eyes darted around for a while, Shanna came up with an idea.

She gestured for Phyllis and Lena to stay put and not move, and then, under their worried gazes, she slowly moved along the lakebed toward the location of the leader.

With the help of various debris at the bottom of the lake, and without any accidents, Shanna quickly arrived below the fish-man leader.

She observed patiently for a while, and seized the opportunity when none of the other fishmen were looking in her direction, quickly rising to the surface and coming behind the fishman leader.

"This Confundus Charm!"

Before the merman leader could turn around to check the commotion behind him, Shanna's Curses had already struck it first.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaah!"

At the summons of the merman leader, all the mermen gathered. They followed behind their leader and quickly left the area.

"Alright, let's go."

Having removed the Disillusionment Charm from her body, Shanna waved in the direction of her friends.

The journey went smoothly for the rest of the time. After all, this was Hogwarts territory, and there weren't many dangerous Magical Animals in the Black Lake.

Following the magical mark previously placed on the Giant Squid, Shanna and her two companions found the Giant Squid's location directly.

Just as the three of them spotted the Giant Squid from afar, the Giant Squid also noticed the three little creatures.

Although it didn't know why the Hogwarts students would appear at the bottom of the Black Lake at night, the Giant Squid still kindly extended its tentacles and gently nudged the three little girls.

It knew that the students at Hogwarts enjoyed playing with it like this. And it enjoyed it too.

"Oh dear! Don't be so friendly. How can I eat you if you act like this?"

Although she said that, you could tell from Shanna's determined eyes that the little girl had no intention of giving up on the plan.

"Eh!? Eh er?"

The Giant Squid's tentacles froze instantly, and it let out an anxious cry towards Shanna.

"No, you heard me right, I want to eat you!"

Shanna stared intently at the Giant Squid, indicating that its hearing was fine.

"Eek!? Eek, eek!"

The Giant Squid angrily waved its tentacles, stirring up the surrounding waters into chaos.

However, its tentacles carefully avoided the location of Shanna and the other two.

Even at this moment, it still did not want to harm the Little Wizard, but only intended to scare the three away.

"Hey! I didn't say I wanted to kill you. I just want a few of your tentacles. My Gege said it's called sustainable development!"

Just kidding, she wouldn't kill indiscriminately. You know, her kindness is universally acknowledged throughout Hogwarts; you can ask her Gege if you don't believe me.

"Hee hee hee! Hee, hee!"

"Oh dear! Don't be so stingy! My Gege told me that when humans bleed occasionally, it can promote the body's blood-making function and is good for the body."

So, occasionally losing a couple of tentacles will definitely boost your regeneration system. Who knows, in the future, you might even be able to achieve immortality through this.

So, we get to enjoy delicious Teppanyaki Squid, and you get to train your regenerative abilities—it's a win-win situation, why would you refuse?

Shanna always does things with reason and evidence, and she convinces people with logic!
