Could Hufflepuffs Have? The North Sea Kraken!
At this moment.
In the sky.
Tonks was utterly frantic.
She had been tied up by a House-elf for quite a while.
Even if Char could hide, he was probably about to be caught by Porgie Chalman.
She couldn't delay any longer; she had to get rid of the entanglement quickly!
But looking at the House-elf, who was determined to keep her occupied, Tonks felt quite helpless.
House-elves could cast spells without a wand or incantation, and even use short-distance Apparition multiple times.
This was truly too unfair in battle.
Moreover, they would unconditionally obey their master's commands.
Even if clearly abused, even if almost exhausted, they still had to carry out Porgie Chalman's orders to stop her.
How could she get rid of its entanglement?
Then.
Tonks suddenly had an idea.
Wait.
House-elves would unconditionally obey their master's commands.
What if she became its master?
This would be very difficult for others.
They would have to brew Polyjuice Potion in advance.
However, Tonks was the only Metamorphmagus Animagus in the Magical World.
This was an extremely special talent.
Ordinary Animagi transform into a specific animal.
But Tonks's Metamorphmagus Animagus allowed her to change her appearance at will.
Transforming into Porgie Chalman's likeness.
This was incredibly simple for her.
So, the next moment.
Tonks's appearance immediately changed.
In the blink of an eye, she looked almost identical to Porgie Chalman.
The House-elf opposite saw this scene.
It was utterly stunned.
The magic it was about to cast also paused at this moment.
"Ma-master?"
"Another master?!"
At this time.
Tonks saw that this method was effective.
Joy erupted in her eyes.
She said in a rough voice,
"Do you want to harm your master?!"
"Stop it now!"
On one side was Porgie Chalman's command.
On the other side was the command from Tonks, who looked identical to Porgie Chalman.
The completely opposite commands plunged the House-elf into a contradiction, not knowing what to do.
Tonks took advantage of this opportunity.
She quickly stabilized her broomstick.
Then swiftly left the House-elf behind.
She frantically chased in the direction where Char and Porgie Chalman had disappeared earlier.
Soon.
Tonks saw the crack.
It was also at this moment that she saw the fleshy vines spreading out from the mouth of the crack.
The moment she saw this thing.
Tonks's pupils instantly contracted.
As an Auror in training at the Ministry of Magic.
She had, of course, received detailed training on how to counter the three Unforgivable Curses.
The one responsible for the training was Mad-Eye Moody.
And Moody, in addition to that, had also mentioned an extremely evil Dark Arts.
In some sense, it could even rival certain Unforgivable Curses.
That was Black Magic Transformation.
"This is an evil magic that alters flesh and desecrates life."
"Any act of using Black Magic Transformation on others is comparable to using an Unforgivable Curse."
"Once discovered, immediately escort them to Azkaban."
Tonks never expected.
To actually see such evil Dark Arts here.
Her heart instantly sank.
Black Magic Transformation had been used.
It seemed Porgie Chalman had likely succeeded.
She had to be faster.
Then.
Tonks quickly aimed her wand at the fleshy vines blocking the crack in front of her.
"Incendio!"
"Incendio!"
The next moment.
A thick flame spewed out from the tip of her wand, sweeping forward like a flamethrower.
The fleshy vines reluctantly cleared a path in the face of the scorching flames.
Tonks took a deep breath.
Her face full of vigilance, she strode inside.
However, even though she was prepared.
When she entered through the passage and saw the cave completely occupied by fleshy vines.
Tonks couldn't help but be horrified.
What evil magic!
Then she looked at Porgie Chalman, who was wrapped in fleshy vines in the center of the cave, and angrily shouted,
"Porgie Chalman, you are absolutely insane."
"To use such evil Dark Arts for revenge."
"If you dare to resist any further, you'll be rotting in Azkaban until you die; Dementors will surely love your evil soul!"
But Porgie Chalman was stunned.
The moment Char unleashed Black Magic Transformation.
He had no ability to resist at all, enveloped by the spreading crimson vines, trapped within the 'prison' they formed.
Even his wand was broken on the spot.
But he thought that when Tonks, the Auror in training, arrived and saw Char's evil Dark Arts, she would surely side with justice.
But now, how did this become his doing?
No?
Why should it be!
Porgie Chalman shouted hoarsely,
"Bullshit!"
"I didn't do it."
"All of this was done by that Hufflepuff. Go quickly and call Dumbledore."
"This Hufflepuff has the potential to become a Dark Lord. You must not let him go; you have to arrest him and throw him into Azkaban!"
But regarding Porgie Chalman's roar.
Tonks's face was full of disdain.
"You think I'll believe that?"
"Char, though a bit strange, is a Hufflepuff."
"A Hufflepuff using Black Magic Transformation? I think the Dark Arts have backfired on your brain, and you've gone mad."
"What bad intentions could a Hufflepuff have!"
"Next time you try to argue, could you please use your brain?"
Porgie Chalman stood stunned within the cage.
His face was filled with despair.
This world was truly messed up.
He was telling the truth, so why did no one believe him?
And at this moment.
Tonks came to Char's side.
Looking at Char's calm expression, Tonks felt a surge of lingering fear and shame.
If she had arrived any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
So Tonks put Umbridge's death out of her mind.
She comforted him softly,
"It's okay, Char."
"With me here, you are safe."
"This bad person will soon be sent to Azkaban."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore."
Hearing Tonks's comfort.
Char barely suppressed the excited emotions in his heart.
He forced a smile.
"Yes, yes."
"I was simply too scared."
So scared he was almost laughing out loud.
This time.
Not only did he obtain cinderbloom fern spores.
He also had the potential to obtain a Platinum Grade plant.
Furthermore, he had achieved a promotion in Black Magic Transformation.
The Bronze Level Black Magic Transformation was indeed powerful.
Although it couldn't see the light of day.
It was enough to become one of Char's trump cards.
Not to mention the potential value of this Transfiguration in plant cultivation.
Through the study of this Charms cast on Porgie Chalman.
Char was confident in attempting to use Black Magic Transformation for permanent modification of plants.
Perhaps it could give rise to new variants.
In this way.
Even some relatively common magical herbs.
Could potentially bring Char good rewards.
The gains this time were simply a huge profit!
And just as Char was in a good mood.
Porgie Chalman watched Tonks comfort Char.
His eyes were almost spitting fire.
This world was simply too unfair.
Clearly, Char was the one with a deeper mastery of Black Magic Transformation.
Yet the Auror in training turned a blind eye to him?
Unfair, unfair!
Porgie Chalman gritted his teeth, pulled a piccolo from his embrace, and blew it forcefully.
"You scoundrels."
"You all must die!"
As Porgie Chalman played.
The piercing flute sound immediately penetrated the rock layers and soil.
The special magic contained within it also began to spread wildly through the seawater.
In a sea area not far from here.
Everywhere was silent and still.
Whether it was fish or birds, they seemed to no longer appear in this sea area.
This seemed to be a sea area of only death.
And at this moment.
When the flute sounded, and the special magic contained within it also swept past.
Deep beneath the sea, in the dark trench.
Countless eyes opened.
A colossal black shadow, like a mountain, swayed.
Stirring up violent currents at the bottom of the sea.
And all of this was caused by a monster.
It was the legendary North Sea Kraken, capable of easily destroying ships.
The North Sea Kraken, awakened from its slumber, let out a low roar as if it had heard a summons.
Then it headed straight for the island from which the flute sound emanated.
At this moment.
Porgie Chalman, who had played the piccolo.
Let out a burst of wild laughter.
"You're all dead, you're all dead!"
"You'll all be buried at sea!"
Tonks's face was full of speechlessness.
She felt as if Porgie Chalman had used too much Dark Arts and his brain had gone bad.
He was already a prisoner, and even his wand had been broken.
Yet he still had the nerve to play the flute.
And even laugh, saying that she and Char were both dead?
He was truly sick!
But Char's expression suddenly became somewhat solemn and serious.
He had initially thought Porgie Chalman had gone mad and was just blowing aimlessly.
But in his Platinum Grade Night Vision.
He could see that when Porgie Chalman blew the flute just now.
Particles of magic, each with a very peculiar nature, spread out with the sound of the flute.
That kind of magic was by no means ordinary.
And Porgie Chalman then said with a sinister laugh,
"You have no idea what you're about to face."
"Prepare to face the most terrifying creature in the North Sea."
Char's heart suddenly stirred.
Tonks's expression also changed slightly.
She felt that Porgie Chalman didn't seem to be exaggerating.
What was the most terrifying creature in the North Sea?
The same name appeared in both of their minds.
Could it be the North Sea Kraken!?
Just at this moment.
A rumbling tremor came from the seabed.
Accompanied by the roar of waves, like bursts of thunder.
Something colossal was approaching the island from the seabed!
Char's expression was solemn at this moment.
He quickened his pace, walking out of the crack.
Tonks also quickly conjured a rope, tied Porgie Chalman, and followed Char's footsteps out.
Once on the island.
The strange sight on the distant sea immediately came into view.
A towering wave, like a city wall, continuously pushed towards the island.
Judging by the splashing water churning around.
There was indeed something beneath the surface.
Char, with his Platinum Grade Night Vision, saw it even more clearly.
The magic particles alone, emanating from the sea surface, were an astronomical number.
And these magic particles outlined a Giant silhouette in Char's eyes.
Over a hundred meters in size, with countless tentacles.
Upon seeing this silhouette.
Char was completely certain.
The flute Porgie Chalman played could actually summon the North Sea Kraken?!
And in just a short time.
That towering wave, seemingly slow, was actually astonishingly fast, already approaching the island.
Char could even see.
Within the waves, huge, dark, slimy tentacles were faintly visible.
He also gained a new understanding of the North Sea Kraken's power.
As expected of a magical creature of the ocean, it's truly formidable.
This strength, I'm afraid, would make other 5X-level magical creatures feel inferior.
Dragons, when they come, are just food!
He felt a bit fortunate in his heart.
Fortunately, he had made ample preparations this time and brought the [Giant Killer].
Otherwise, dealing with this kind of monster would truly be impossible.
At this moment.
The wave violently crashed against the island.
Thunderous sounds echoed incessantly.
Immediately.
Tentacles, extending from the sea and over a hundred meters long, finally appeared before Char and Tonks.
They seemed to want to sweep away all living creatures on the island!
Tonks saw this scene.
Her face was utterly pale.
Even as an Auror in training, she couldn't possibly deal with such a monster.
She might not even be able to pierce the North Sea Kraken's hide!
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw Char beside her.
Tonks gritted her teeth.
She drew her wand, climbed onto her broomstick, and said to Char,
"I'll go deal with that thing."
"You have a Nimbus 2000 broom, you fly fast."
"Now, don't worry about anything else, just run!"
Char looked at Tonks in surprise.
The North Sea Kraken before them was clearly not something an ordinary Wizard could contend with.
And she still wanted to go?
Seeing Char's gaze, Tonks forced a brave smile.
"Don't look at me like that."
"I'm not a Gryffindor; I'm not that brave."
"Look, my legs are trembling right now."
Char looked down.
It was indeed true.
Tonks continued,
"But you said before that I've only been graduated for such a short time, and I've already forgotten the Hufflepuff qualities."
"But I haven't."
Tonks took a deep breath, clutching her wand tightly.
She raised her hand and cast a Charms.
"Stupefy."
Char fell to the ground.
Tonks immediately tied him to the Nimbus 2000 broom.
Then she waved her wand.
The broom took off by itself.
Tonks whispered,
"Nimbus 2000, this Hufflepuff is in your care."
"Go, hurry."
"Junior."
"Take this life from your senior and live."
The Nimbus 2000 wobbled.
It really flew up, soaring into the distance.
But the North Sea Kraken clearly didn't want anything to leave its hunting range.
Once it surfaced, it would devour everything in the nearby sea!
A tentacle began to move, seemingly intending to snatch the Nimbus 2000 broom from the sky and drag it into the sea.
But the next second.
An Exploding Charm whistled out.
It exploded on this tentacle.
Tonks rose against the wind.
"An Auror from the Ministry of Magic, a senior from Hufflepuff, is here."
"I will not allow you to harm any Little Wizards in front of me."
"Let alone, that's my junior from Hufflepuff."
"If you want to chase Char, you'll have to get past me!"
The fire of the Exploding Charm burst on the North Sea Kraken's tentacle.
It was completely unharmed.
It didn't even leave a single scratch.
This thick-skinned monster was clearly not something Tonks could contend with.
But the North Sea Kraken was enraged by this "provocation."
When had the overlord of the North Sea ever been provoked like this?
Then.
The tentacle changed direction.
It violently slapped towards Tonks.
Tonks had intended to rely on her broomstick to dodge, to buy a little more time.
But what came towards her was a power that could be described as overwhelming.
And a whistling blast of air.
Her broomstick was like a small boat tossed in a raging sea.
Tottering!
Let alone dodging.
In Tonks's eyes, she could only see that tentacle getting closer and closer to her.
"I probably won't even feel the pain."
"I'll be crushed instantly, won't I?"
"Damn it, should I get a cooler hairstyle, and the color should be brighter."
"That way, when the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts come to search for me, they can at least find my hair and give me a cenotaph."
Just as Tonks was about to close her eyes and wait for death.
A shadow, swift as lightning, suddenly darted out.
Char, who had clearly been stunned earlier, actually rode the Nimbus 2000 back.
He pulled Tonks onto the Nimbus 2000 in one swift motion.
In the nick of time.
The Nimbus 2000 cut through the air current, whistling away.
Dodging the North Sea Kraken's tentacle strike.
Tonks stared blankly at Char.
She couldn't help but curse angrily,
"Idiot!"
"I bought you time to escape, why did you come back?!"
"If anything happens to you, what will Professor Sprout do?!"
Char, however, said softly,
"You following me for so many days initially annoyed me, and I didn't want to bother with you."
"But today, I owe you one."
"Tonks, senior from Hufflepuff—"
His gaze turned to the tentacles extending from within the waves.
"Hide behind me."
"North Sea Kraken."
"Let me deal with it."
