Chapter 127 You Only Have 2 Choices
Under what circumstances is it possible to overhear a secret conversation without the other person knowing?Qiubai made a lot of bold speculations, such as hiding in the flowers, using a perfect illusion technique, and being an illegal Animagus.
The first item was rejected by Harry, because he hid in the flowers with Ron that night, not only heard the conversation between Hagrid and Madame Maxime, but also saw Severus and Karkaroff in "La Pull and pull".
Of course, Harry was a little hesitant when he said "pull it up", the image of Severus in his mind had already been "reborn", and he was always reluctant to think worse about people.
"The professor's name is Headmaster Igor Karkaroff, which means they are very familiar with each other, Mother Shire," said Harry. "He made the professor stop pretending that this didn't happen, and say that things are becoming more and more obvious."
"Yeah, that Karkaroff doesn't look like a nice guy, huh! And that Krum," echoed Ron, who hadn't been a Seeker for the Bulgarian team since the Christmas ball. worship.
"It's none of Krum's business." Hermione suppressed her anger and gave Ron a white look, but this made Ron even more unhappy.
"Yeah, of course you don't care about your Wicky," said Ron a little meanly, "why don't you go talk among the flowers and ask Professor Snape to deduct ten points from Gryffindor?"
"Don't call Wicky again!" Hermione screamed and ran away without looking back.
Qiubai looked away from Hermione, who was about to shed tears, and looked at Ron, whose face was as red as his hair, and sighed, "You are really a role model for my generation."
Harry, who didn't understand the stalk, was full of question marks, and Qiubai explained casually, "It's just an exclamation. Ron, sometimes don't always say angry words."
Ron blushed even more.
This time it was Harry's turn to sigh. He never knew how to reconcile the inexplicable conflict between the two friends.But he still remembered what he wanted to say to Qiubai. After recalling everything in detail, he finally thought of what he almost missed: "One thing is very strange. I saw a beetle on the back of a stone reindeer. It's a little different from any beetles I've seen before...but I can't really tell."
"Aside from the beetle, is there anything else wrong?" Qiubai remembered this and the beetle in his mind, which might just correspond to her third guess.
"No...it's gone..." Harry thought for another minute, and then said worriedly, "I'm a little worried, Mother Charles. The professor's mood was not right that night. Did he get entangled by bad guys? .”
When he saw Severus hitting mandarin ducks with a wand, he was actually very surprised. Normally, the potions professor should be sweet with his mother Shire at this time.
Qiubai felt that there was nothing wrong with Severus' emotions at the time, after all, he was angry at being pestered by a former Death Eater who was afraid of death and wanted to delay his marriage proposal.However, Qiubai was surprised by Harry's opinion of Severus, she asked, "Don't you think he is a bad guy?"
"After getting along, it changed." Harry said shyly, spending nearly a month with Severus allowed him to see a deeper side of the potions professor.
"Then trust him more, he is strong enough to resist those bad guys." Qiu Bai said, "Besides, the danger you face may be greater, I think you should think more about yourself."
"Is there a more terrifying danger than dragons?" Ron was terrified.
But Harry was very calm, "I've been making preparations, but I haven't seen any signs of it until now. There are too few obstacles to me, and most of them are people helping me." Especially Ludo Bagg Man, his enthusiasm overwhelmed Harry, "What is their purpose? Don't they want my life?"
"Maybe it made you win the game?" Qiubai shrugged and said, "Anyway, it will always come, why don't you just take a step and see. How about it, has your golden egg figured out a way now?"
"Should... I've almost done my research, and I'll try it tonight." Harry pouted.Cedric gives him a reminder after the Christmas party, which complicates his feelings about Cedric.After all, the person who provided him with this kind of help walked up and down the corridor arm in arm with Qiu Zhang all day long.
"Hey, brother, you look like you have a plan." Ron bumped Harry's shoulder. He felt that Harry and Qiubai were talking dumb, and he was confused, but it didn't affect his hearing. Understand a few words, "What is the solution?"
"Maybe we'll find out tomorrow." Harry said mysteriously.
Qiubai naturally didn't know that Cedric had given Harry a hint. She thought it was her previous behavior that made Harry think a little bit, and she was quite unreasonably relieved.
When things go well, luck is really irresistible.Harry successfully unlocked the mystery of the golden egg, and brought Hermione to find Qiubai, in order to break the second game of the Triwizard Tournament.
Qiubai and her three children gathered together in the office on the fifth floor. The desk was so shiny that it might even be slippery for flies to stand on, because she rarely worked on this desk.
"To sum it up, let us go to the Black Lake to find and regain our beloved treasure within an hour. But what is the treasure? I don't seem to have any treasure. Does my fire crossbow/arrow count, or is it my bracelet? "
Harry guessed aimlessly.
"That's not the problem, the main problem is that Harry has to stay at the bottom of the lake for an hour." Hermione pulled the point back.
"Oh, yes. I can swim back and forth in the bath once or twice, and I can't stay at the bottom of the lake for an hour, unless I become a fish." Harry said helplessly.
"Have you figured out a way?" Qiubai leaned on her chin and said, her eyes did not rest on Harry and Hermione, but she was staring thoughtfully at the stack of parchment on the smooth table.
"Of course," said Hermione proudly, "that book, "Mediterranean Miraculous Aquatic Plants and Their Properties", records a plant called gill sac grass. fingers and toes so that one can swim and breathe underwater for over an hour."
"Hermione always reads quickly and remembers." Harry is also proud of his friends, especially Hermione who can always help him.
"It's amazing." Qiubai temporarily withdrew his gaze from looking at the parchment, and gave Hermione an appreciative look, and when Hermione blushed, he raised his finger and shook it twice.
The next moment, a small magic ball wrapped a struggling beetle and floated in the air. Qiubai tapped his cheek with his fingers and shook his chin in his palm, "You are also very powerful." Qiubai sneered and folded the beetle outside After several layers of sound-proof spells, he continued to say to Harry and the two of them, "So this time, you want to ask me where I can find gill grass?"
"Oh, the beetle?" Harry's attention had been drawn away by the beetle.
But Hermione still got the point, "Yes, I think Professor Snape might have this, he has a private storage room... I used to..." Hermione cut her mouth just in time, she almost said that she had visited Pass.
"There should be..." Thinking of Severus, Qiubai laughed, if he knew that someone was planning on his private storage room again, he would definitely be pissed off, but isn't the son more important?
"I'll go ask him." Qiu Bai readily agreed.
"Thank you so much, Miss Shire." Hermione blushed with excitement, she glanced at the ring on Qiu Bai's hand, thinking that maybe she would have to change her name to Mrs. Snape soon .How nice not to have to go find Professor Snape themselves!
"What's wrong with this beetle?" Harry was still persistent.
"Oh, yes, the beetle." Hermione also looked curiously at the little floating magic ball, dotted like twinkling stars.
"Eavesdropping, not a bad way." Qiubai smiled and turned the magic ball upside down in the air, forcing the beetle inside to do somersaults as well.
Hermione's eyes lit up, "Animagus?"
"You're so clever, Hermione," Qiubai sighed.She raised her index finger and made a forward motion, and the magic ball flew into the open space in the middle of the office.She spread her five fingers, and the magic ball swelled rapidly until it was as tall as a person.
Qiubai silently recited the anti-Animagus spell, and the little beetle grew dramatically, and finally turned into a woman, a woman in ugly clothes and ugly glasses——Rita Skeeter.
"Sure enough," said Hermione disgustedly.
"It turned out to be her!" Harry exclaimed in surprise.
"Obviously," Qiubai retracted the soundproof spell around the magic ball, "you can clearly see that the marks around the beetle's antennae are exactly the same as the ugly glasses she wears."
"It's her!" Harry finally remembered, it was because of this that he felt that the beetle he saw was very different from others, but he didn't expect it to be an Animagus, "Damn it! She just used this kind of beetle. Method overheard Hagrid's speech!"
"You! You!" Rita finally heard them talking, she hadn't recovered from the shock of the stumble.
"I want to hear something else from us this time!" said Hermione displeased.
"Maybe they want to listen to me." Qiubai walked up to Rita, "Have you been with me for a few days? Miss reporter?"
Rita looked terrified and shivered.She had several news on Christmas night, and Hagrid, the half-giant, listened most carefully to her, but there seemed to be some unclear relationship between the woman in front of her and the Potions professor, which made her want to continue digging. .In the end, either he followed and lost, or the woman didn't return to her office at all...
"You... who are you?" A piece of Rita's lipstick fell off, revealing pale lips.
"The one with a diamond on the tip of his nose." Qiu Bai said with a curled lip, "To tell you the truth, if you were a story writer, I would have liked you more, but you turned out to be a newspaper reporter, tsk tsk."
"Illegal Animagus will be imprisoned in Azkaban." Hermione said with her chin raised, her dislike for Rita was palpable.
"No, no!" Rita shook her head excitedly.
"Actually, it's not impossible to let you go..." Qiu Bai nodded his chin.
"Miss Charles!" Hermione said anxiously.
Qiubai gave her a calm look, then continued to look at Rita, and said in Rita's begging eyes: "It's not impossible to let you go, but you have to pay a price. You anima Gus could come in handy a little bit."
"For what?" Rita asked.
Qiubai didn't answer right away, but said to Harry and the others: "Harry, Hermione, you go back first, I will deal with this person properly, and the gill grass will be given to you tomorrow."
Harry obviously wanted to continue hearing about Rita's use, but Hermione, who was more winking, pulled Harry away.Following the farewell of the two and the closing of the door, Qiubai placed two layers of soundproof spells on the door.She said to Rita: "Of course it's your most proficient use, help me eavesdrop."
"Eavesdropping on what?" Rita's voice was so tense that it deformed, and her premonition was not very good.
"Maybe you're interested in old Moody? How about going and seeing what he's doing?" said Qiubai with interest.
"No, no, his magic eyes will see through me!" Rita shook her head frantically.
"Come on, the magic eye can't see through Animagus." Qiubai shrunk the big cage around Rita, and it became a rope to restrain Rita, and Rita was able to land.
Qiu Bai was taller than Rita, and she said condescendingly, "You only have two choices, Miss Skeeter. The first is to help me see old Moody, and the second is to enter Azkaban."
Rita doesn't want to go into Azkaban anyway, old Moody is at least an Auror, he won't suck her soul, "I...I promise you..."
"It's not bad to follow him." Qiu Bai curled his lips, "We don't mind if you use some news from him to write a story. But you'd better ask me in advance."
After Qiubai turned around and sat back at the table, he raised his hand to take back the magic rope around Rita, "Don't even think about running away, I don't even need to go to the Ministry of Magic to report such a thing."
As Rita left, Qiubai leaned back on the back of the chair and closed her eyes, until the familiar and gentle breath gently patted the tip of her nose, Qiubai smiled. She raised her head slightly, and after touching the soft Only then did he relieve himself, "Sev, did you hear that?"
Opening his eyes, Severus' eyes were facing hers, and the frown between his brows was like a sharp sword hanging on Qiubai's head.Qiubai stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Severus's wrinkles with her fingertips, and said with a sigh, "Harry has put it down, how about you?"
"Hmph," Severus straightened up and walked directly opposite Qiubai, "Hiding in the grass? Hiding my storage room? I should give them ten points too."
Qiubai stood up on her tiptoes and approached Severus, looking at her lips so close, she said softly, "Tell me, why are you always so hard with your soft lips?"
Severus hugged Qiubai's waist, looked down at Qiubai's trembling and curly eyelashes, and said with a chuckle, "Maybe you need to make it softer..."
Qiubai didn't know if Severus' hard-tongued problem had been cured, but his heart was getting softer and softer.That night, he gave Qiubai the gill sac grass, which was a group of water plants packed in a glass bottle, which looked like countless slippery, gray-green mouse tails.
Qiubai gave Harry the gill grass the next day.The preparations for launching are done, and the next thing is the so-called "treasure of the warrior".Qiubai did not expect that this treasure turned out to be a human...
The night before the game started, Professor McGonagall came to call Qiubai himself, "Charles, I didn't expect it to be you, come with me."
"Where are you going?" Qiubai followed in the footsteps of Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall didn't answer, but quickly took her to the small room at the back of the auditorium, where she was the primary guide for the four warriors.Now there are not four warriors inside, but a few students: Hermione is leaning on the pillar and frowning thinking; Qiu Zhang is sitting on a chair and flipping through a book; a young man with the same silver hair as Fleur The little girl shyly huddled in the shadows.
As Qiu Bai entered, they raised their heads one after another. Hermione and Qiu Zhang had the same expressions of excitement and surprise.
"Okay, it's all here!" Ludo Bagman jumped out of nowhere, followed by Dumbledore.
"What is this for?" Qiu Bai asked.
"The second item is the treasure of the warriors. The Goblet of Fire determines who the treasure of each warrior is, which happens to be you. So you need to be placed at the bottom of the lake," Dumbledore said halfway, Cho Chang and Hermione Exclaiming, he waved his hand reassuringly before continuing, "Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with the mermaid at the bottom of the lake, and there's magic protection, you'll feel like you're sleeping, and you won't feel any discomfort."
"Then... then what if the warrior doesn't succeed in rescue?" the silver-haired little girl asked.
"The mermaid will send you ashore. Of course, the warriors don't know." Dumbledore winked at the little girl, who smiled for the first time in this room.
"I'm a baby too?" Qiubai looked at the three little girls, and then at herself, something like age suddenly made her feel stuck.
"Harry's precious godmother." Professor McGonagall added calmly.
Hermione covered her mouth and snickered, Qiu Zhang opened her mouth wide in surprise, Qiu Bai pursed her lips, Dumbledore rolled her eyes with a smile, Professor McGonagall curled her lips, but tried to keep her face as serious as possible.
"Okay... okay." Qiubai shrugged, "Going to the bottom of the lake now?"
"Not now, we have to start casting magic now, which is more complicated and takes several hours, and we need to go to the bottom of the lake tomorrow morning." Dumbledore explained.
"Okay, then please allow me to leave for a few minutes, soon." After Qiubai finished speaking, he left the room under everyone's gaze.She came to a corner and said, "Call for the guardian." A silver-white big-horned deer jumped out from her fingertips, "Sev, I have to go to the bottom of the black lake to be Harry's baby, don't worry too much."
The silver-white big-horned deer hopped across the corridor and disappeared around the corner.Qiubai glanced at the moon outside the castle, which was half exposed in the clouds, and sighed. She is fine in the sky, but going into the water is really not her strong point. Who would have thought that she is actually a landlubber...
From the moment the magic started, Qiubai escaped into a very strange atmosphere, and her eyes became a vast expanse of whiteness, but the voice that entered her ears seemed to be elongated by something, she seemed to hear Dumbledore Lido was chanting an ancient spell in a long tune.
Not just sound, but time.Qiubai couldn't feel the passage of time, and the surrounding things seemed to have turned into a pot of porridge, kneaded into a mess.But she herself was different, she felt like a stone, standing quietly in the void, hard and majestic.
I don't know how long it took before Qiubai heard a drawn-out tone in his ear, so ethereal that it seemed to come from a distant place, and he could only vaguely discern, "...the warriors...are in place...begin...to take back... ..."
After listening to Bagman counting to three, Harry on the shore looked back to look for Shire's mother again, and finally stuffed the gill grass into his mouth in disappointment and surprise.The taste of gill grass is not very good, tough and greasy, like octopus tentacles.
When most of his body entered the icy lake, the gill grass finally played a role. Two long and narrow slits appeared under his ears, which opened and closed in the cold air, forcing him to bury his head in. The water, and then his hands and feet, became flippers like frogs.
The water is no longer icy cold, and the body has become very light.Harry felt the joy of swimming for the first time, and he made his way through the water like a fish.After turning over, he plunged into the depths of the lake.
The author has something to say:
Qiubai: Fake Moody or Dementor, choose one
Rita: Can't it just look at the little brothers and sisters?
Qiubai: I'm going to make a baby for Harry
Severus: You're my baby, you've been caught by me
Qiubai: This is chosen by the Goblet of Fire
Severus: Damn Potter!
2333333, the baby was originally supposed to be Ron's, but after discussion, it should be a lover, relative or friend. Harry's first love died young, so he can only let his relatives and godmother who is still at Hogwarts take the top.
