Malfoy and Parkinson rushed onto the track on the right. Did they...find the right path?
Seeing this scene, Harry murmured in his heart. He glanced at Neville, whose back was completely soaked with sweat but was completely stubborn. He couldn't bear it.
"Neville, Burst and Greengrass have been left behind. Let me take over. My magic power has almost recovered!"
"No, I can still hold on - we're just a little bit close."
Neville wiped his sweaty face and gasped as he refused Harry's request.
Finally, thanks to Neville's desperate efforts, twenty seconds after Malfoy's ship disappeared from everyone's sight, Gryffindor's ship was finally about to reach the intersection of the 'Y' shaped track, separated by dozens of feet. At such a distance, Harry could vaguely see the difference between the two sides.
As the two biggest enemies in Hogwarts, since Malfoy chose the right, Harry would not hesitate to turn the rudder to the left.
Such a choice is not purely a matter of will.
Harry believed that if the track on the right led to the finish line, then Malfoy, who made the correct choice first, would undoubtedly win. Even if they followed behind and ran the entire distance, they still could not escape being laughed at and cleaned by Malfoy. fate, so it is better to bet that Malfoy chose the wrong side, and the track on the left leads to the finish line.
Harry thought so, he clenched his teeth and looked at the track on the left with several orange lights flashing, and just when he was about to take action, behind the track on the right that was shrouded in fog...
Click!
There was a huge crisp sound that made Harry's hand shake violently, and the oak boat swayed sideways. Neville, who was startled by the strange sound, also shivered in fright. He unconsciously withdrew his palm and stood up unsteadily. .
Neville blinked and hesitated. He glanced at the back of the boat at his feet and looked into Harry's eyes. Their eyes intertwined in mid-air, and they both understood that the other had the same guess as himself.
"What's going on, Harry?"
Neville asked uneasily, "That sound just now seemed like the sound of a ship being broken into pieces?"
"Help!!!"
"Ah, monster!!!"
Harry didn't have time to speak, because what he was about to say was interrupted by two screams full of panic and fear that sounded almost simultaneously. Then, under the suddenly frightened eyes of Harry and Neville, the wall of fog on the right side of the track appeared. It rolled, and then, two vague figures desperately beat the water waves and swam toward Harry and the others. Needless to say, they were Malfoy and Parkinson.
In just a short moment, Harry and Neville looked at each other and thought of the horrific attempt that had occurred in the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical class in the first half of the year. Uncontrollably, Harry subconsciously took out his wand, which was already in his mind. Recite the incantation of the Fire Spell silently.
"Help me, Potter!"
The moment Malfoy, whose whole body was soaked in water, rushed out of the mist, the first figure that fell into his sight was. When his life was threatened, all trivial conflicts were forgotten by Malfoy, and he shouted for help. , and as a result, he drank a lot of river water.
"There's something in there, Malfoy, is it the Inferi?"
Although he hated Slytherin's despicable methods to win the game, his reason also told Harry that he should leave immediately, because a ferocious silhouette full of murderous intent was about to walk out, but when he saw the figure desperately rushing towards this direction, Malfoy and Parkinson, Harry frowned and felt like his feet were rooted and he couldn't move.
"It's not the Inferi, Potter, please save me!"
Malfoy cried in horror, and Pansy Pankinson cried out, "It's a monster, and it wants to kill us!"
Harry instinctively wanted to scold them, but when he thought of Professor Blaine's wild style, he somewhat believed their 'nonsense'.
In such a moment of hesitation, the monster in the mist had already stepped out of the water, and the moment they saw his clear face, the hesitant Harry and Neville immediately took a breath of cold air, and even their scalps exploded. .
So far, there are three scariest monsters that Harry has seen: Hagrid's three-headed dog in the first grade, Professor Brain's Inferi in the second grade, and the Hogwarts train he saw at the beginning of the third grade. That kind of terrifying creature called Dementor, and now, there is another kind of creature that scares him.
The sinister eyes full of deathly silence, the ferocious claws and teeth...
It's scary enough, but it's not something that scares Harry. What scares him is the black energy lingering around that creature, the pure malice, the power that's like death...
Click, click, click...
Harry, whose body was so cold that he was stiff, heard a strange sound. After thinking for a moment, Harry understood that it was the sound of Neville's teeth chattering.
The Xinkpunk that Amosta had brought from Avalon Island, and had been corroded by the dark magic, shook the glowing orange tentacles on its head, bared its teeth, and sprayed out streams of smelly black Smoke, just like the eight-eyed spider that Amosta had imprisoned under the dormitory floor for several years, this hinkpunk that had lived in a glass bottle for half a year could not suppress the bloodthirsty desire in its heart. It wanted to kill...
Wow---
Malfoy and Parkinson hurriedly climbed into Harry's boat. The cabin that was originally suitable for two people became extremely crowded after accommodating four little wizards. They could only stand side by side next to each other.
"What are you still doing, Potter?!" Malfoy yelled, "Are you waiting for that monster to tear us all into pieces? Hurry up and set sail!"
"If you can't show your due gratitude, Malfoy,"
Harry blinked and suddenly came to his senses. Faced with Malfoy's almost command-like words, his face turned cold, "Then please leave Neville and I - Oops!"
Plop, plop!
The world tilted sharply in their vision, and it wasn't until their faces came into close contact with the cold water that Harry and Neville figured out what had happened - Pansy Parkinson actually pushed them into the water!
"Hurry up, Malfoy, we know which way is right now!"
Pansy happily stepped to the stern of the boat. When she passed Malfoy, who was staring at her in disbelief, she gently pushed him toward the bow!
"Who asked you to do this...Pansy..."ŴŴŴ.
Malfoy opened his mouth. He glanced at Longbottom and Potter, who were trying to maintain their balance in the water, with stunned expressions. He did not expect that Pansy would dare to do such a thing without his order.
"Don't be dazed, Draco--"
Pansy didn't seem to realize how bad her behavior was. Before her palm touched the hemisphere, she urged Malfoy to take the helm.
"That monster will teach the two idiots Potter and Longbottom a lesson for us. We have to leave quickly to avoid being affected!"
Malfoy pursed his lips tightly, and his shocked eyes disappeared. His gray eyes were filled with cold anger. He moved his gaze away from Pansy and looked at Potter in the water who was helping Longbottom stand up. , after a brief hesitation, he squatted down, leaned down and handed over his hand.
And his behavior confused Harry and Neville. What happened to Slytherin? Pansy Parkinson behaved obscenely and pushed them into the water, but Malfoy actually wanted to pull them into the boat?
"Don't get me wrong, Potter, I'll give you a favor... from Professor Blaine's practical class last time!"
Facing Harry's confused look, Malfoy's face turned red and he said.
