A Harry Potter Quest: He who was not

Reader mode
[X] I should build something! – Alchemy may be able to solve all problems. If stepping on air is possible, breathing under water should not be out of reach. It will take you longer than with any other solution … but the solution will be here to stay. (High DC on preparation time, low DC on time spent under water.)

Another thing about this option is that it could be a future business opportunity in the Triwizard Tournament.

Never use spells when you can use an item!
 
[X] I might need something to drink. – Any effect a plant can do, a potion can do better. That is something that you know for sure. It will take you a while to gather the ingredients and brew the potion, and you first need to spend some time looking for one at all; but it should be possible. (Medium DC on preparation time, medium DC on time spent under water.)

Just so we have some company for the short time underwater.

[X] I'm a wizard. I need a spell. – A charm or a transfiguration? You are not too sure as to how to solve this effectively, but it should be about the same as using a spell … right? (Medium DC on preparation time, medium DC on time spent under water.)

The sooner the Patronus is done, the better. There are other spells and potions that need to be studied as well, after all. It can be shown to Lupin to obtain the trait, and afterwards, Lupin can promptly be placed in the category of out of sight, out of mind. He is of no further use beyond that point and is going to be dismissed by the end of term, in any case.

[X] There must be something I can eat … – Honestly, your third-year curriculum doesn't give you too much to work with here. But it should be possible to find a plant that can allow you to spend some time under-water. (Low DC on preparation time, high DC on time spent under water.)

I'm gonna go with this, mainly because I think it could allow us to be more versatile underwater and the option pretty much says it allows better exploration with more time able to be spent underwater. That said, I'm open to learning the spell too, either are decent options.

I'm honestly a bit torn about this.

The Alchemy option might be better, but I prefer having the option of still being able to save ourselves from drowning, even if we dont have our creation with us.

If we end up learning the Bubble-Head charm, we could also use it to protect ourselves from poisonous gas or fumes.

Alternatively we might end up with some kind of partial human-transfiguration, like the one used by Viktor Krum for the second task.
 
I don't really think human transfiguration is taught practically before or during the OWLS exam because that needs more supervision and doing that while amazing might get us detention for an entire year thanks to our careless actions against our own person. A Charm is better than human transfiguration at this point of time since Jacob is not even a 5th year for goodness sakes.
