Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 242: Respective preparations

"Today's homework is no less than two pieces of parchment about the application boundary of Transfiguration, handed in on Friday, OK, get out of class is over." With a stern and patient reminder. After assigning today's homework, Professor McGonagall announced the end of today's transformation course.

Harry, Ron and Hermione then took this opportunity to rush out of the classroom.

They are about to rush to the room where Sirius often stays, because Sirius sent them a message before, saying that their custom-made scuba in the Muggle shop is now in place.

"Oh, Harry, slow down, don't worry." When the three of them trot all the way to the path not far from the cabin, they saw Sirius standing on the threshold and facing them. Beckoned and shouted.

Now they slowed down a little bit and walked over slowly.

"Don't worry, it won't go missing." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Huh, huh." The three of them followed Sirius into the room with some breathlessness, and they found chairs and sat down respectively.

"The process was generally smooth. I am fairly familiar with Muggles. During the days I fled, I did not deal with them less. Sometimes there are kind Muggles who think I am a stray dog ​​and give me some food. "Sirius smiled, then holding the teapot, pouring each of them a cup of steaming tea.

"I even cut the price with them for a while. At the exchange rate with the Muggle society, I still spent a few gold gallons less." Sirius said triumphantly, and his relaxed smile even made There are many wrinkles on his face.

"Here, look." He pointed to the big bed behind him where Hagrid was sleeping.

At this time, the three of Harry noticed that the big colorful quilt on the bed, which was woven from various fabrics, was lifted and put aside, with a big cardboard box on the bed.

"I'll open it for you." Sirius walked over, and lightly scratched the seal of the carton with his wand. The carton seemed to have been scratched by a sharp blade, and bounced away from the middle with a stabbing sound.

It is said to buy scuba, but it is impossible to have only one set of equipment. A complete set of professional diving equipment is equipped with many components, such as breathing apparatus, diving goggles, diving shoes, and fins. Kind of stuff.

Ron looked at the dazzling array of pieces of equipment, and couldn't help reaching out his hand curiously to touch it.

"Stop! Ron" Hermione scolded Ron's behavior immediately, then approached the pile of items, rummaged in it, and picked up two pamphlets from it.

"We must read the instructions first," Hermione stared at Ron solemnly.

Ron turned his head away unconvinced, he seemed very upset with Hermione’s behavior

"Yes, when I bought this item, the Muggle shopkeeper repeatedly suggested to me and asked me if I need someone to guide the use of this item." Sirius praised Hermione and said, "If you are not skilled According to the guidance of the people, some accidents are likely to happen." Sirius nodded and continued.

""Scuba Beginner's Guide"?" Hermione looked at the cover of the booklet in her hand and read softly, "Then ""The First Aid Guide for Drowning Persons"?" Hermione looked at the second booklet at this time.

"Oh, the owner of the book insisted on including it. He felt that if I went my own way, I might be in danger in the water." Sirius nodded, then said to Harry, "You want to use it." I don’t have any opinion on scuba, this is a good way, but we can’t put eggs in one basket."

Sirius paused.

"I thought of a spell. If I have enough time, maybe I can teach you later." Sirius snapped his fingers, showing a slightly smug look.

"But now, you can put your mind on this thing. To be honest, I am actually very curious about Muggle things. They are not magical at all, but we can only do it with magic. Isn’t this amazing?" He cast his gaze on the pile of scuba components.

Then the four began a study on scuba.

"Um... these things can be put aside for now." Hermione looked at the instructions, then reached out and put aside a CD that was stuck in the instructions. "Hogwarts can't use a computer." She shook her. Shook his head.

"We should let Harry learn to wear this outfit now," she said.

Afterwards, diving suits, fins...pieces of equipment were put on Harry's body with the help of Harry's own attempts and the help of the others.

Soon, Harry was wrapped up in this equipment, and he appeared to be ready. This fully armed appearance made it possible for him to get into the water right now and swim in the water.

"I think it's extremely difficult for me to walk now." Harry said urnly through the mask. He now felt that he was so tightly pressed down and down that he was about to be unable to move.

The weight of the equipment itself is not a small amount, and he has a gas cylinder responsible for providing oxygen on his shoulder, which is even heavier.

In order to cope with the deep water pressure, the whole set of equipment is made of better quality materials, so the weight will increase with the tide.

Harry tentatively walked a few steps in the cabin, making a "stomping" sound, which seemed extremely difficult.

At this time, the noon bell rang.

"I think we have to go." Hermione held her forehead helplessly, looking at Harry who was at a loss now, and said: "We still have Snape's class in the afternoon. If we don't go to dinner now, it will probably be too late. You may be late for lunch break."

"I dare not sleep in the old bat class!" Ron exclaimed.

So several people hurriedly began to help Harry disassemble his equipment, and finally put these things back into the carton again.

"Let’s go, it’s too early, next time I will teach you a spell, maybe it’s better than it." Sirius felt that this time he didn’t seem to be very optimistic, so he comforted him and sent the three to the cabin. Doorway.

"Goodbye, Sirius! Thank you." Harry said gratefully.

"Wait!"

Just when the three of them were about to carry the cardboard box and hurried back to Gryffindor’s lounge, Sirius stopped them. He ran all the way from the door to the big bed, reached out and fumbled, and then again I rushed back quickly.

"You dropped something." He stepped across the threshold, stroked his hard stubble with one hand, and then passed the "First Aid Guide for Drowning Personnel" that was forgotten by Hermione. The nearest Ron.

"Thank you." Ron said, and inserted the book into the box.

Along the path, the three of them carried the big cardboard box and rushed to the lounge of their college. Before eating, they had to put the device in place. They couldn’t take this box with them. Shall we eat in the auditorium?

That's too eye-catching.

"Hermione, you can go to dinner first. Ron and I will do." They said they were three people, but they were only carrying the box. As a girl, Hermione was decisive when she wanted to help. Harry refused. They said that the four-corner box might be more inconvenient to carry with three people, and it is not convenient to balance.

"Yes, Harry and me will do." Ron took the conversation. After a few days of cooperation, the relationship between him and Hermione seemed to have eased, as long as the two of them selectively forgot about The unpleasant experience of the dancing partner before the party can live together in peace.

At this time Ron still wanted to promote his gentlemanly demeanor and prove that he was not much worse than that Krum.

Hermione tilted her head and looked at the two who were panting. Then she exhaled and said, "Well, you guys hurry up too."

"Yugadim Leviosa!" Hermione then stretched out her wand and said to the box, Harry and Ron realized that the pressure on his hands was much reduced.

"Floating Charm! Why didn't you use it sooner?" Ron said to a sudden realization.

"I just thought of it." Hermione yawned with her hand over her mouth, showing a sleepy look, and then said ": When I was walking on the road just now, I was still thinking about how to solve the heavy scuba problem. , I haven’t found you so hard for the time being."

"Okay, I'll go now. Come on." Hermione waved at them, changed into a running posture, and hurried along the path to the auditorium.

"Come on, buddy." Ron comforted Harry, and after a short pause, the two of them started on the road again.

Just walking like this, when passing by the green field beside the Quidditch stadium, an accident happened suddenly.

Harry only felt that the weight of his hands on his back suddenly increased a lot. Without paying attention, the whole carton shook and almost lost its balance and slipped from his hands. Fortunately, he grabbed the body of the box in time. Fell to the ground.

"Ron?" He immediately realized that Ron behind him might be in an accident, and turned his head slightly, asking suspiciously.

"Come on, Harry." Ron said hurriedly, as if he saw something terrifying.

Hearing Ron's panic, Harry didn't have the time to entangle what Ron saw, so he obeyed his words and speeded up his pace.

Ron returned to normal after a brief disturbance, and the rhythm of the two began to gradually unify.

"Fake the real!"

With a password, the fat lady in the portrait gave way to her body, and finally the two returned safely to the Gryffindor lounge.

"Huh, huh." Ron was sitting and panting heavily at this time. His face was extremely pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. Obviously, under the effect of Hermione's Levitation Charm, this box's Weight won’t make him so tired, his abnormality must have other reasons,

Harry checked the box placed in the corner again, and after making sure that everything was OK, he came to Ron and asked, "Who did you see just now? Did Snape?"

"Yes! That's him! That old bat stood on the grass and looked at us unkindly." Ron's pale face flushed red and said excitedly.

"That's why I was taken aback at that time. I urged you to leave quickly, otherwise I would be stopped. We will have to find other excuses to get out, and maybe we have to deduct points." Ron continued to explain .

"So that's it." Harry nodded suddenly, "Then it looks like we were lucky and we weren't caught by him."

"Of course!" Ron said immediately, seeming to be hiding something, wanting to end the topic soon.

He lied. Snape didn't have time to target them at the time. He was eating his lunch silently in a corner of the auditorium.

"Harry?" A somewhat honest voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling the two of them.

"Neville, are you going to scare us to death?" Ron said angrily.

It turned out that Neville didn't know when he stood behind them.

The originally chubby face seems to have lost a lot of weight now, and occasionally the dull eyes become piercing.

"I have something to tell you in private." Neville said seriously to Harry.

Ron was also relieved at this moment.

The real reason he didn't dare to admit was this--

"It's really interesting." Fleur Delacour briskly walked to the place where Harry and Ron had just passed by, bent down and picked up a booklet from the ground, while still murmured in his mouth.

After eating lunch, she decided to stroll around Hogwarts, and by coincidence ran into the two people who were separated from Hermione and were carrying the scuba.

As she was about to approach, she found that the boy who had been rejected by her in front was madly running.

"Am I a monster or a fire dragon?" Furong frowned slightly. Fortunately, she felt that she was a bit too much of what she said to Ron before, and wanted to apologize to him for the refusal of the poisonous tongue~IndoMTL .com~ She was in a state of emotional out of control at the time, and it happened that Ron happened to hit the muzzle, so she would have such an overwhelming reaction.

Otherwise, even if he refuses, he will not expose his scars and trample on his self-esteem.

"I want to set a good example for Gabriel." Furong thought, she didn't want to look like a small belly in the eyes of her sister.

Of course, all these chances of redemption were ruined by Ron himself. Perhaps the shock was too great. When he saw Fleur now, he felt that this girl would taunt him viciously again.

This is the root reason he urged Harry in a panic just now.

""Guide to First Aid for Drowning Personnel"?" Furong patted the cover of the booklet covered with dust, and then said the title on it gently in a warm and pleasant voice.

In the afternoon the day before the start of the second project.

In the Slytherin's lounge, the fire in the marble fireplace was burning vigorously, and the whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere, which contrasted strongly with the cold outside.

Malfoy is talking to Pansy, Pansy's face is extremely relaxed, while the former is serious and worried.

"Miss Parkinson, Professor Snape invites you to the office"

Malfoy immediately got up from his seat in a panic.

Then was held by Pansy's hand.

"Professor Snape called me. Just stay here and prepare for tomorrow's game." Pansy said comfortingly, then stood up and limped along with the boy.

It's worth mentioning that the robe on her body seems to be a little unfit, loose, and looks muddy when she walks.
