"So what if he can understand the mermaid language? No one knows mermaids better than Percy," George said. "He can even sing mermaid songs …"
Percy covered George's mouth and said, "Fred, stop talking!"
"Especially when he's taking a bath, Percy can only show his true singing ability when he's in the water," Fred added. "By the way, I'm Fred."
Penelope was amused. She stared at Percy's red face and said, "That's amazing, Percy. You've never said that before."
Percy nodded, embarrassed. "Uh … it's not worth mentioning …" He did not know when he could sing mermaid songs. This was obviously another prank by the twins.
Penelope shook her head disapprovingly. "How can it be 'not worth mentioning'? It's a great skill. The mermaid language is particularly difficult to learn. Their language is not the words we usually use, but a combination of sharp sounds of different lengths and tones."
"Using the mermaid language on the shore is like screaming, but in the water, the sound will have a magical change. It sounds very beautiful. Some mermaid songs have the power to heal people's hearts …"
"So you can sing mermaid songs is really amazing!" She patted Percy on the shoulder with a 'you're good' look on her face.
Percy silently covered his face. Did Penelope really think that he would scream when taking a bath?
"But only wizards with a particularly good voice have the opportunity to use the mermaid language." Penelope thought of something and suddenly felt a little disappointed. "I don't have this opportunity. I can't raise my pitch. When I practice, I always pronounce 'friendly friend' as' dry salted fish '—"
She paused for a moment and said, "That's the biggest provocation to mermaids."
"I heard that there are mermaids in Lake Pyrolyte …" Belinda remembered Hagrid's introduction when school started.
"I've heard that too." Penelope nodded. "I've tried to sneak to the lake at night, eat gill sac grass and bury my head in the water, trying to meet one or two mermaids and listen to them sing."
It was not safe. Belinda did not agree with this behavior. "Our dormitory is at the bottom of the lake, but I have never seen mermaids, let alone heard mermaids sing …"
"Sometimes, we can even see the tentacles of the giant octopus, but no Slytherin has ever seen a mermaid." Belinda shrugged. "Maybe the mermaids were washed away when the water rose..."
"Ah …" Penello was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up. "I believe I'll always be able to hear mermaids sing in the future."
"Percy will want to sing it to you," the twins said together, and Percy put his hands over their mouths.
"Let's eat the sweet duck." Anna could not help but help Percy end the awkward topic.
With the help of Penello's Expansion Spell 'Grow Quickly', Sweet Duck became as big as a wooden table, and everyone had a pleasant weekend dinner.
"You want to know why Charlie doesn't have a girlfriend?
Quack, quack. "Percy ate the duck wing and made a duck sound. He looked at Anna in confusion." That's a strange question … Well, it's not too strange … But … "
He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his mouth. Anna spoke first. "I'm not interested in Charlie. I'm just curious because he should be very popular, right?"
"Do you know something?" Anna took the opportunity to look at Percy's socks, but unfortunately, they were blocked by his robe.
Percy breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt that he should not be so relieved. He suddenly felt that maybe he should be more concerned about Charlie.
Charlie's sexual orientation was the most mysterious among the brothers. No one knew whether he liked male or female dragons … No, male or female …
"Phew … As for Charlie … I'm not sure …" Percy scratched his head. "He has never revealed these things. He gave all his passion to the dragons … quack, quack." There was another funny duck sound.
"Is that Gryffindor's ball seeker?"
Penelope provided a useful piece of information. "I often see him walking with two Hufflepuff girls … quack!"
This surprised everyone. "Do you know those two girls?" Anna keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Penelope covered her mouth and cast a spell on herself. Soon, there was no more duck sound coming out of her mouth. She recalled for a moment. "There's a girl whose hair changes color. I think she's called Nymphadora Tonks?"
Anna was a little disappointed, but it was a good idea to ask Nymphadora.
Anna looked at Percy's feet again, wondering how to get the topic of socks out of him. She could not help but complain in her heart. Why collect lucky socks?
Isn't that embarrassing?
Percy tore off a piece of sweet duck and found Anna staring at his feet. He looked down at his shoes. They were normal black leather shoes. There was nothing wrong with them. "Anna?
What are you looking at?
Is there something on my shoes? "
Fred and George pushed their way over, as if they were afraid of missing something on Percy's shoes. "Is it Moon Fool's feces?
Quack! "George yelled.
"Dung egg!" Fred yelled. "It must be dung egg!
Quack! "
They probably wanted to see these strange things on Percy's shoes.
Percy rolled his eyes at them. "I think your head is full of these things!
Quack! "
"Nothing!"
Anna shook her head. She planned to ask Percy about the socks later. "I just think your shoes are very clean …"
Happy times were always short-lived. Since the twins had not finished their homework, they had to go to the library to study quickly, which led to the early end of the weekend party.
The two of them came to the entrance of the auditorium. They looked at the crowd playing crazily and then looked at Professor Mcgonagall, who had returned to her original position with a 'if you go, I'll deduct your marks' expression.
Sighing, Fred and George went up the stairs. They met Lee Jordan on the second floor and received a fresh piece of bad news.
"What?
Peeves took our sacks and threw dung eggs everywhere?! "The two of them exclaimed.
"Yes!
I couldn't find you anywhere!
I was so worried! "Lee Jordan wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Wait!
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Are you sure that sack belongs to us? "
"That's definitely your sack!"
Lee Jordan was very sure. "You can't find another ugly green sack in Hogwarts. It even has the logo 'Brazilian Magic Coffee' on it!"
Lee Jordan was still scared. "I almost got dung egg on my face just to see that stupid sack!
Even the fat madam fell for it!
She screamed and ran somewhere. Now she can't even get into the lounge — "
"The Felcs are going crazy. How did your sack of dung eggs end up in Peeves' hands?" Lee Jordan's expression was exaggerated. "Is this a new prank?"
George and Fred looked at each other and said, "That's impossible!
Our sack of dung eggs was confiscated by Professor Snape last week! "
"Because George tried to throw the dung eggs into the crucible and was discovered by Professor Snape!" Fred explained.
"That's obviously your plan!"
George retorted. "Maybe Peeves stole it from Professor Snape. He's really brave …"
"Maybe." Who could steal from the terrifying Professor Snape?
Lee Jordan was more inclined to believe that the twins gave the sack to Peeves.
As for 'Professor Snape gave the dung eggs to Peeves'?
Lee Jordan was amused by his own idea. How could Snape do such a thing?
It was even more ridiculous than someone liking to eat horned slugs.
