"Today's homework is no less than two pieces of parchment about the application boundary of Transfiguration, handed in on Friday, well, 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 were about to rush to the room where Sirius often stayed, because Sirius had sent them a message before, saying that their customized scuba in the Muggle store was 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 hut, they saw Sirius standing on the threshold and beckoned to them. .

Only then did they slow down a little bit of their pace and walked over slowly.

"Relax, it won't go away." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said with a smile.

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

"The process is generally smooth. I am still 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 bargained 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 happily, a relaxed smile even making his face Looks like a lot of wrinkles on it.

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

Only then did the three of Harry notice that the big colorful quilt on the bed, which was woven with various fabrics, was lifted and put aside, with a big cardboard box on the bed.

"I'll help you open it." Sirius walked over, and the wand lightly scratched the seal of the carton, and 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 a scuba, but it is impossible to have only one set of equipment. A complete, professional diving device is equipped with many components, such as breathing apparatus, diving goggles, diving shoes, fins and the like. .

Ron looked at the dazzling array of pieces of equipment, and couldn't help reaching out 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 seriously.

Ron turned his head away unconvinced, seemingly unhappy with Hermione's behavior

"Yes, when I bought this item, the Muggle shop owner repeatedly gave me advice and asked me if I need a special person to guide the use of this item." Sirius took a look at Hermione admiringly, "If there is no skilled person to guide me. , Some accidents are likely to happen." Sirius nodded and continued.

""Scuba Beginner's Guide"?" Hermione read softly while looking at the cover of the booklet in her hand. "Then ""Guide to First Aid 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 just go my own way, I might be in danger in the water." Sirius nodded, and then said to Harry, "You want to use scuba for me. There is no opinion. This is a good idea, 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 they also do what we can only do with magic. Isn't it magical?"He cast his gaze on the pile of scuba components.

Then the four began research on scuba.

"Um... these things can be put aside first." 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 head.

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

After that, diving suits, fins...pieces of equipment were put on Harry's body under 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 immediately and swim in the water.

"I think it's extremely difficult for me to walk now." Harry urn said through the mask. He now feels that he is tightly pressed down and about 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 increases 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 said helplessly, looking at Harry who was at a loss now, "We still have Snape's class in the afternoon. If we don't go to dinner now, we probably won't have time for lunch later, too. May be late."

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

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

"Come on, it's early, next time I will teach you a spell, 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 cabin.

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

"and many more!"

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

"You dropped something." He stepped across the threshold, touched his hard stubble with one hand, and then handed the "First Aid Guide for Drowning Personnel" that was forgotten by Hermione to Luo who was closest to him. Yep.

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

Along the path, the three of them carried the big cardboard box and started to rush to the lounge of their college. Before eating, they had to put the device in place. They couldn't take this box to the auditorium for dinner. ?

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 actually carrying the box. When Hermione, as a girl, wanted to help, he was decisively caught by Harry. Rejected, they said that it might be more inconvenient for three people to carry a box with four corners and it is not convenient to balance.

"Yes, Harry and I 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 also selectively forgot about their partners before the prom. You can live together peacefully through the unpleasant experience.

At this time Ron still wanted to develop 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, before exhaling and saying, "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 earlier?" Ron said suddenly to his senses.

"I just thought about it." Hermione yawned with her hand covering her mouth, showing a look of sleepiness, and then said ": I was thinking about how to solve the heavy scuba problem when I was walking on the road just now. I haven't found you so hard."

"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 around like this, when passing the green field beside Quidditch Stadium, an accident happened suddenly.

Harry just 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 box in time and didn't fall to the ground. .

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

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

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

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

"True the fake!"

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 at this time. His face was extremely pale, and his forehead was full of sweat. Obviously, under Hermione's Levitation Charm, the weight of this box was not 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? 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, and I urged you to leave quickly, otherwise I would be stopped. We have to find other excuses to get out, maybe we will have to deduct points." Ron continued to explain.

"So that's it." Harry nodded suddenly, "It looks like we were lucky and didn't get 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 seemed to have lost a lot of weight now, and occasionally the dull eyes became pierced.

"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 passed just now, 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.

Just 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 what she had said to Ron was a bit too much, and wanted to apologize to him for the venomous rejection.

At that time, she was also in a state of emotional out-of-control, and it happened that Ron happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, so she would have such an excessive reaction.

Otherwise, even if he refuses, it 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 salvation 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 was the root reason he urged Harry in a panic just now.

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

In the afternoon before the start of the second project.

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

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

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

Malfoy immediately got up from his seat in a panic.

Then he was held by Pansy's hand.

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

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