[HP] Noble

The beautiful and mournful voice was like heaven, and Harry swore he had never stopped listening to such a beautiful singing voice.He foolishly hugged the singing golden egg in the lake, and he couldn't believe it for a while!

[Seek us, where our voices sound, we cannot sing on the ground. ]

Yes, Harry thought in a daze, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, a creature that cannot speak on land—a mermaid, what else could it be except a mermaid?It wasn't until his lungs started to burn that Gryffindor remembered that he was still in the water, damn it!As if suddenly having infinite power in his body, he kicked his legs suddenly, hugging the golden egg, he broke through the ice, and breathed in a mouthful of air laced with the smell of ice and snow.

There was a cold wind blowing across the water, and as soon as Harry climbed onto the shore, Hermione pounced on her—she had just stumbled off a broomstick, the first time Harry had seen Hermione ride a broomstick.The Gryffindor girl threw him one Warming and Drying Charm after another with trembling hands, while Ron yelled from the sidelines that he didn't think Hermione should touch Harry because he might be broken Ribs, unable to withstand the flow of magic.Layers of thick blankets came from nowhere to cover him, and Harry shivered and thanked everyone he could see—

There were so many people that he didn't even know who was helping him.

The Slytherins had long since disappeared—according to Ron—"the group of poisonous snakes are used to turning around and running after doing bad things." On the way to the castle surrounded by many Gryffindors, Harry hugged The drenched golden egg stumbled back, thinking about another question while walking: to find the mermaid at the bottom of the black lake?He couldn't hold back the effort just now, how could it be possible to breathe underwater for such a long time?

That night, Harry listened to that song again in the bathtub—

Well, kidding aside, of course Gryffindor bathrooms have bathtubs too.

But maybe it's because the bathtub is really too small, the sound is not particularly clear (or maybe there are too many bubbles), but this time, sitting in a steady stream of warm water, the ease and relaxation is enough for Harry Carefully listening to the mermaid's singing back and forth more than a dozen times, at about No. 11, Harry finally caught another important point.

How did you sing that song?

[Find us where our voices sound. ] This sentence undoubtedly means to let him dive to the bottom of the Black Lake. Thank God, Gretel once said that merman or mermaid are often seen in the Slytherin lounge, because they like the dark bottom of the lake, but they can always Attracted by the lights...so the bottom of the lake, sure.

What is the next sentence, oh... [We stole your most beloved treasure.You only have one hour to find and recover what we took. ]

Another Dragon Quest?what babyHarry grinned, his treasure has the invisibility cloak left to him by his father, and Sirius's map of the robbers...

[After an hour there is no hope, it is completely gone and need not appear. ]

God, listen to that last line, it's not bad.Harry’s expression became slightly mocking. If Professor Dumbledore came to ask me what my favorite item was before the game, maybe I would answer Malfoy—— A bruise that Mrs. Ray couldn't fix, Harry thought resentfully, and then at the start of the race, when it was determined that Malfoy had been dragged underwater, I would announce that I was giving up on this one.

Triwizard trophy?Hundreds of Galleons?Oh, sure, it was tempting, but to Harry, that temptation was never as good as Malfoy's disappearance for good.

……

"—I'll pass on the opinion for you, Potter."

Scorpius yawned lazily, then leaned back on the desktop listlessly and continued to write his thesis.Sitting next to him was Hermione, who occasionally tapped the second-year Slytherin parchment with her wand, whispering reminders to correct spelling mistakes or certain year deviations for him later.

Harry sat to the side, falling into another frantic search for the spell to breathe underwater. After he had just announced his idea of ​​being in the bathtub last night, Ron looked extremely excited and seemed to think that Harry's proposal was quite reasonable. Reliable-"If I were you, buddy, I would do it!" said the red-haired Weasley enthusiastically. Hermione paused, looked up at him with great disdain, and said : "That's why you're not a warrior, Ron."

Scorpius didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"..." Ron tilted Hermione down, and began to complain to Harry in a low, aggrieved voice. The biggest reason he wasn't a warrior was because he wasn't even 17 years old.

Harry smiled without saying a word, just for fun, and continued to bury his head and diligently flip through his book.The book was flipping through, but I couldn't find half of the ideas.

With an impatient tsk sound, Scorpius crossed out an unused sentence heavily, facing the parchment, and said irritably: "Stop squeaking there, Potter, it's so annoying-I'm so tired It's creaking."

"I didn't squeak," Harry retorted sternly.

Hermione: "You guys are so naive."

Harry said immediately, "He started it first."

"I'm only in the second grade, Mr. Savior, I won't die if I'm childish." Scorpius put down the quill in his hand, with a sarcasm on his face, "Since I have reminded you twice, so I don't care about reminding you the third Next time, maybe you can borrow a snorkeling set from a nearby Muggle village."

"Muggles? The principals of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will happily find a reason to give me 0 points, or 5 points for curve saving ideas." Harry said dryly, and the so-called number of reminders, he had already Too lazy to correct it.

"Harry is right, this is a wizard's competition, we have to use the wizard's method." Hermione brushed her hair, blushing a little, "Although I have also thought of Muggle diving suits, but since this doesn't work, I also thought of another one, and that is the Animagus."

Scorpius shook his head, and said with some amusement: "That's even worse, Hermione. Not to mention whether Potter's Animagus form is a fish—even if it is, to complete the top three leagues, I'm afraid he must It has to be a water monster or a shark or something... Well, sharks are not used to being in lakes, so what about piranhas? In short, if he turns into a harmless fish, he goes into the water just to add something to the fish's dinner."

"Analytical and lively, Mr. Gretel."

"You're welcome, silly baby Potter."

It was Ron who hesitated for a moment, and asked a question that surprised everyone: "What did Malfoy say?"

With a shake of his hand, Scorpius pierced the parchment.Ron's face turned red quickly, and now he looked like his red hair was all over his head, and he had no face.Harry raised an eyebrow and looked at his best friend defiantly.

Scorpius shrugged: "He didn't say anything - pumped Potter into the water with a stick and learned that the content of the second project was already a Christmas treat. It was enough to make him annoyed until next Christmas." So maybe he won't say a word about the Triwizard Tournament again," Scorpius stopped and giggled for a while, and then continued after laughing enough , "Because he finally discovered a terrible pattern, that is, his ideas will eventually be used by Potter in the end."

"I'll never admit it's true," Harry muttered.

"Anyway, it's true." Scorpius stood up and began to pack his things.

Hermione sat up straight, looking a little fidgety: "Oh Scorpius, where are you going?"

"Go and see Draco," Scorpius smiled. "He's been having a lot of fun with the Weasley twins lately, and he'll be playing with George on the Quidditch pitch right now—"

Hermione turned to Ron: "What did you say?"

It was only then that Scorpius realized that Ron was muttering something behind Harry. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ron simply amplified the volume: "It's as if they have already confirmed that they are members of the school team." .”

"That's what they are," Scorpippi said with a half-smile. "All the other batsmen have unregistered, including Fred Weasley, who decided to compete for the goalkeeper position - well I have to go, Hermione, are you going?"

The Gryffindor girl who was called by her name looked very troubled, she bit her lower lip, and finally stood up: "Okay, I'll go and have a look too." Scorpius gave her a "wicked smile", Then saw the Gryffindor know-it-all blushing with satisfaction.

Looking at the back of the two people leaving, Ron couldn't react, he turned his face to Harry stiffly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Harry raised his eyebrows, "Spring is almost here."

"?" Ron was full of question marks, silently staring at the sky with goose feathers and heavy snow outside the library window.

On the way out of the castle, Scorpius and Hermione run into some trouble - in other words, it's not their trouble, but someone else's.A group of tall boys in Durmstrang uniforms were strapped up on the ground floor not far from the main gate, and above them was a screaming, maniacally laughing Peeves, who had gotten some permanent paint from somewhere , mixed with water and poured into the balloon——

This is a hoax escalated.

The floor of the auditorium is a riot of colour.

Durmstrang's alumni looked very unhappy - but they heard that in Germany, there are no such ghosts on campus, so they can't do anything about it for the time being.

"Okay, okay, is there anything more embarrassing than this?" Scorpius muttered mockingly, reaching out to touch his dragon skin pocket, "When I go back, I might tell my classmates that Hogwarts is full of Crazy—stop it, Peeves!" He raised his voice at the end to make sure the ghost in the sky could hear him.

Probably because Peeves was so high today, totally unprepared Liskopi threw a yellow balloon at the Durmstrang boys standing in the front row, it giggled and screamed : "Hit you! Hit you! Nasty German-"

Scorpius sighed, shook the light yellow talisman paper in his hand, the talisman paper ignited a raging flame, and lightly threw it towards the sky: "Soul bound."

The arrogant screams of laughter and cursing stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes widened, watching Pi Guigui maintain a throwing motion, was fixed in the sky, and suddenly changed from a ghost to a frozen statue.

Hermione was obviously also relieved, it was a matter of face, not everyone knew that Peeves was only afraid of Professor Dumbledore, if Dumbledore was called at this time, it might make people feel that "a little problem needs to be done". principal" misunderstanding.Just as she was thinking this, a tall boy came out of Durmstrang's crowd - at first Hermione thought it was Krum, but after a closer look, the boy was taller than Krum .

He walked up to Scorpius, with a look of indifference between his brows.Inadvertently brushing over the Slytherin badge on the chest of the second-year boy, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, he bent down slightly, nodded cautiously and stretched out his right hand: "Reynolds Deergabrest."

"Uh..." Scorpius was anxious to pull his hand out of the glove, but the button that fixed and tightened his wrist got stuck at a critical moment, making the face of the second-year Slytherin flush red.Looking at the boy who wanted to jump up and pull himself out of the glove, Reynolds' dark blue eyes were stained with a smile, and before everyone could react, he stretched out his hand to hold Scott's gloved right hand.

Scorpius froze.

Opening his mouth slightly, he stupidly raised his head and looked up at the hill in front of him. It took about three seconds before he realized and said in extreme embarrassment: "Scorpius Great."

"Thank you for your help." Renault opened his hand lightly, and said calmly with his handsome face, "It is rumored that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Slytherin house of Hogwarts. I saw it today, and it is true."
