Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

"Today's homework is no less than two pieces of parchment about the boundaries of Transfiguration. It will be handed in on Friday. Okay, get out of class is over." With a stern but patient reminder. After assigning today's homework, Professor McGonagall announced the end of today's Transfiguration class.

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

They were now rushing to the room where Sirius used to stay, because Sirius had sent them a message earlier that their custom-made scuba in the Muggle store was now in place.

"Oh, Harry, slow down, don't worry." When the three of them trotted all the way to the path not far from the hut, they saw Sirius standing on the threshold and waving to them and shouting .

This time, they slowed down a little bit and walked over slowly.

"Don't worry, it won't disappear." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and smiled.

"Hu, hu." The three then followed Sirius into the room with some panting, and found chairs and sat down respectively.

"The process is generally smooth. I'm still familiar with Muggles now, and I dealt with them a lot during the fleeing days. Occasionally, there are well-meaning Muggles who think I'm a stray dog ​​and give me some food." Sirius smiled, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of steaming tea for each of the three of them.

"I even cut the price with them for a while. According to the exchange rate with the Muggle society, it cost a few Galleons less." Sirius said proudly and happily, his relaxed smile even made his face It looks a lot more wrinkled.

"Here, you see." He now pointed to the big bed behind him where Hagrid had slept.

Only at this time did the three of Harry notice that the large quilt on the bed, which was originally woven with various fabrics, was lifted at this time and put aside, and there was a large cardboard box on the bed.

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

It is said to buy scuba, but there is not only one set of equipment, a complete set of professional diving equipment has many components, such as breathing apparatus, diving goggles, diving shoes, fins and so on. .

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

"Stop! Ron" Hermione immediately reprimanded Ron's behavior, then approached the pile of items, picked them up, and picked up two booklets from it.

"We have to read the manual first," Hermione said solemnly, staring at Ron.

Ron turned his head away in dissatisfaction, and seemed to be very unhappy with Hermione's behavior.

"Yes, when I bought this item, the Muggle shopkeeper repeatedly gave me advice and asked me if I needed a special person to guide me on how to use this item." Sirius glanced at Hermione with appreciation, "If there is no skilled person to guide me. , it is very likely that some accidents will happen." Sirius nodded and continued.

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

"Oh, that book was added by the shopkeeper. He thinks that if I go my own way, I might be in danger in the water." Sirius nodded, then said to Harry, "You want to use scuba for me. It's a good idea to have no opinion, but we can't put our eggs in one basket."

Sirius paused.

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

"But now, you can focus on this thing,

To be honest, I'm actually very curious about Muggle things. They don't have magic at all, but they also do what we can only do with magic, isn't it amazing? "He set his sights on the pile of scuba components.

Then the four started research on scuba together.

"Well... these things can be put aside for now." Hermione looked at the manual, then reached out and set aside a CD-ROM stuck in the manual. "Hogwarts can't use the computer." She shook her head.

"We should now teach Harry how to wear this outfit," she said.

After that, the diving suit, the fins... a piece of equipment was put on Harry's body with the help of Harry himself and the help of the others.

Soon, Harry was wrapped in this equipment all over, and he seemed to be prepared. This fully armed appearance made him able to immediately go into the water and swim in the water.

"I think it's extremely difficult for me to walk now." Through the mask, Harry said in a loud voice, he now felt that his whole body was tightly pressed, and he was about to be unable to move.

The weight of the equipment itself is not a small amount, and there is a gas cylinder responsible for supplying oxygen on his shoulders, which is even heavier.

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

Harry tentatively walked a few steps in the hut and made a "tap" sound, which seemed extremely difficult.

At this time, the noon bell rang.

"I think we have to go." Hermione helped her forehead helplessly, looking at Harry, who was at a loss now, and said, "We have Snape's class in the afternoon. Might be late."

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

So several people hurriedly started to help Harry disassemble his equipment, and finally put these things back into the cardboard box.

"Let's go, it's still early, I'll teach you a spell next time, maybe it's better than it." Sirius felt that this time he didn't seem very optimistic, so he comforted and sent the three to the door of the hut.

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

"and many more!"

Just when the three of them were about to rush back to Gryffindor's lounge with the cardboard box, Sirius stopped them, he trotted all the way from the door to the big bed, reached out and groped for a while, and then quickly again. rushed back.

"You dropped something." He stepped over the threshold, felt his hard stubble with one hand, and handed the "First Aid Guide for Drowning Persons" that Hermione had forgotten to the nearest Roger. kindness.

"Thanks," said Ron, and slipped the book into the box.

Along the path, the three of them carried the large cardboard box and started rushing to the lounge of their own academy. Before eating, they had to put the device in place. They couldn't take this box to the auditorium to eat, right? ?

That was so striking.

"Hermione, you go to dinner first, Ron and I will do." It was said that there were three people, but in fact, only two people were carrying the box. When Hermione, a girl, wanted to help, Harry was decisively beaten by Harry. Refused, they said that the four corners of the box may be more inconvenient for three people to move, and it is inconvenient to balance.

"Yes, it's fine with me and Harry." Ron took over the conversation. After these few days of cooperation, the relationship between him and Hermione seemed to have eased, as long as the two chose to forget about their pre-prom partners at the same time. unpleasant experiences, can coexist peacefully.

At this time, Ron also wanted to carry forward his gentleman's demeanor and prove that he was not much worse than that Krum.

Hermione tilted her head and looked at the two people who were panting. She exhaled and said, "Okay, hurry up, too."

"Wingadim Leviosa!" Hermione then stretched out her wand and read to the box, Harry and Ron were startled to feel that the pressure on their hands had eased a lot.

"Floating Charm! Why didn't you use it earlier?" Ron said suddenly.

"I just thought of it too." Hermione yawned with her hand covering her mouth, showing a distressed look, and then said, "I was still thinking about how to solve the cumbersome scuba problem when I was walking on the road just now. I didn't realize you worked so hard."

"Okay, I'll go first, come on." Hermione waved to them, then changed into a running posture, and rushed towards the auditorium along the path.

"Come on, man." Ron comforted Harry, and after a brief pause, the two started on their way again.

Just walking like this, when passing the greenery next to the Quidditch pitch, an accident happened suddenly.

Harry only felt that the weight on his hands had suddenly increased a lot. Suddenly, the whole cardboard box swayed, almost lost its balance and slipped from his hands. Fortunately, he grabbed the body of the box in time and didn't fall to the ground. .

"Ron?" He immediately realized that Ron behind him might have had an accident, turned his head slightly, and asked suspiciously.

"Come on, Harry." Ron urged in a panic, as if he had seen something very terrifying.

Hearing Ron's panicked tone, Harry didn't have time to worry about what Ron saw, so he had to obey him and quicken his pace.

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

"Fake the real!"

With a password, the fat lady in the portrait moved away, and finally the two returned to Gryffindor's lounge safely all the way.

"Huh, huh." Ron sat breathing heavily at this time, his face was extremely pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. Obviously, under the effect of Hermione's floating spell, the weight of this box was not enough. It will make him so tired, there must be other reasons for his abnormality,

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

"Yes! It's him! That old bat was standing on the grass looking at us maliciously." Ron's pale face flushed red and he said excitedly.

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

"I see." Harry nodded suddenly, "It looks like we were lucky and didn't get caught by him."

"Of course!" Ron said immediately, as if to hide something, wanting to end the topic quickly.

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

"Harry?" A somewhat honest voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling them both.

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

It turned out that Neville had stood behind them at some point.

The originally fat face seemed to have lost a lot of weight now, and the occasionally dull eyes became brighter.

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

Ron was also relieved at this time.

The real reason that he dared not admit is this—

"It's really interesting." Fleur Delacour walked briskly to the place where Harry and Ron passed by just now, bent down and picked up a booklet from the ground, while muttering softly.

After lunch, she decided to wander around Hogwarts, and she happened to meet the two who were separated from Hermione and were carrying scuba.

Just as she was about to approach, she found that the boy in front of her who had been rejected by her was running like crazy.

"Am I a monster or a fire dragon?" Furong frowned slightly, but she felt that what she said to Ron before was a bit too much, and wanted to apologize to him for the venomous refusal.

She was also in a state of emotional loss at the time, and unfortunately Ron happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, which is why she had such an overreaction.

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

"I want to set a good example for Gabrielle." Furong thought to herself, she didn't want to be a little girl in the eyes of her sister.

Of course, Ron ruined all these chances for recovery. Perhaps the blow was too great. As soon as he saw Furong, he felt that this girl would taunt him viciously again.

This was the fundamental reason why he rushed Harry in a panic just now.

"First Aid Guide for Drowning Persons?" Furong patted the dust-covered booklet cover, and then read the title on it in a warm and pleasant voice.

The afternoon before the start of the second project.

In the Slytherin lounge, the fire in the marble fireplace was blazing brightly, and a warm atmosphere pervaded the room, which contrasted extremely strongly with the cold outside.

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

"Miss Parkinson, Professor Snape asked you to come to the office"

Malfoy immediately got up from his seat in a panic.

Then he was pulled 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 is worth mentioning that the robe on her body seems to be a little ill-fitting and baggy, and she looks sloppy when she walks.
