Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 132 'Little Black' Malfoy
"Did you hear anything? Hermione!"

Ron stopped moving, looked up at the surroundings, and listened to the movements around him.

—Unfortunately, only the snoring of the big dog in front of him can be heard, and the sound of the flute out of tune with Harry.

He and Hermione were struggling to move Lu Wei's huge hind legs away.

(The big dog is sleeping on its stomach, and its legs are pressing tightly against the trapdoor. Hermione wanted to cast the levitation spell at the beginning, but because the three-headed dog itself has a very high magic resistance, it couldn't succeed, so the two of them had to push hard)

——In the dark corner near the door, 'Little Black' Malfoy was covering his mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound.

"What the hell is going on here? How could there be such a thing here?..." He screamed wildly in his heart, at a loss.

Malfoy's legs trembled and he leaned against the wall.

——Do you need to run away? It's not a good idea to send your life here just to catch these guys!

Before he could think about it clearly, he saw Harry the idiot, stop his flute, and took a few breaths.

—the flute stopped.

The big dog woke up from a deep sleep and started to growl, with a suffocating stench coming out of its mouth. It shook its body and stood up, as if it hadn't woken up yet. It shook its head three times, and its saliva kept dripping and splashing, and some of it even got on Malfoy's newly bought robes.

Seeing the situation, Harry immediately blew the flute again.

Lu Wei lay down again, with three heads resting on his front legs and fell into a deep sleep.

But another leg from the back was pressed against the trapdoor again.

"Well, it was a waste of time!" Ron said despondently, "Hermione, didn't you say that you can conjure music with a wand? Why not? Otherwise, Harry can help us together. Three people must be easier than two..."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, "Didn't you see the harp next to it? It must have been left behind by Snape... I can't conjure music out of thin air, but a [Phantom Spell]—a hallucinatory spell that makes you think you heard music..."

"Unfortunately, it seems that the three-headed dog didn't hear the music to sleep, but had to actually play the music itself to make this big dog sleep. You see, Harry's out-of-key playing is not really music at all, because it does exist in reality, and it is played from an instrument, which can actually make Lu Wei quiet... That's why Snape took out a harp. I'm sure he let the harp play automatically..."

"What are you talking about?" Ron said he couldn't understand at all.

And Harry watched the two of them arguing, their eyes almost popping out.

One is because of anxiety (anger), and the other is because of lack of oxygen.

Harry had never played a flute, especially Hagrid's special flute, and he felt that Hagrid made it purely according to his lung capacity.

Every time he blew out a tone, it seemed that his lungs were crumpled and forced to squeeze out all the air.

Now his head is dizzy from lack of oxygen.

——What are the two of them still doing there!

Harry was still playing the flute vigorously, looking for an opportunity to free one hand, and waving it hard, getting Ron's attention and letting them open the trap door quickly.

——I really can't hold on anymore.

Harry was on the verge of passing out.

—they finally removed the thigh.

Ron took a few deep breaths, bent down, and pulled the tab on the trapdoor, which swung open.

Harry quickly put down the flute, ran up to them in two steps, handed the flute to Ron without saying a word, panting heavily.

At this time, Lu Wei's three heads had already woken up. It roared and turned its three heads to stare at the few people, but to their surprise, it did not attack them.

Instead, he swooped in the direction of the red oak door.

He hit the door directly and closed it, and then the nose of one of the heads kept twitching, sniffing the air, and turned to stare in another direction—the wall on the side of the door, and this head continued to elongate and arch over.

(Malfoy looks at his head almost touching it, exhales hot, stinky breath, and shudders.)
However, the other two heads started to point at Harry. They opened their mouths, bared their fangs, and lay down, as if they were about to pounce.

Ron quickly put the flute to his mouth and blew vigorously.

one blow,
- good fellow!

Ron simply doubted life - how could Harry blow it just now.

He could only make hollow noises.

The sound of the flute without even a tune could not calm the big dog at all.

Fortunately, Hermione came to the harp, tried to pluck it a few times, and it made a pleasant sound, which made it quiet again.

After Lu Wei came quietly, Harry and the others had time to check what was under the trapdoor.

"What's down there?" Hermione asked anxiously, playing the harp.

"Can't see anything—it's pitch black, and there are no ladders..." Harry called out to the ground, and there were echoes that seemed deep.

"Let me go first. After all, I have experience last time. Jumping off that broomstick of the McGuffin is not a big deal. I'll catch you after I get down..." Harry still thinks that he cast the [Levitation Curse] by himself the last time he jumped from a high altitude.

Ron was still trying to play the flute, he bent his head and took a look.

It was pitch black... no idea how deep it was.

It made him very worried about Harry.

"If I don't respond, you don't come down... Go to the owl hut and write to Dumbledore, and then go to the professors to explain the situation... Try to keep Snape in here."

"Okay..." The two agreed.

(Malfoy also realized at this time that what these guys said seemed a little different from what he thought.

But now there is no way out.

He wished to cry without tears as he watched the big dog's fat butt block the exit.

Now he understood that if there was no music playing, this terrifying monster would definitely wake up, and the way he used this ring to hide himself didn't seem to be very effective in front of this monster.

Malfoy moved quietly, heading towards Harry's position. After all, it seemed that these guys knew what was going on here, and there seemed to be a trapdoor there?

Then he saw the scene where his scalp was numb and took a deep breath in his heart. It's crazy, this guy is really crazy! )

——Harry, this iron-headed brat, was so reckless, he just took out his wand and held it in the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, and jumped down like that.

The cold, damp air was in his ears, whistling across his face.

However, it is much gentler than falling directly from the sky last time, or flying quickly on a rocket broom, at least the face is not deformed.

Every once in a while, Harry would always cast a [Levitation Curse] on himself, because it was really hard to see where the bottom fell.

Falling, [Levitation Curse], speed up, fall, [Levitation Curse], speed up, fall, until——

boom! — Plop!
With a dull thud, Harry felt himself fall onto something soft.

There was no light here, so he could only reach out and feel around. He felt as if he had come to a pile of plants.

scare--

what!
Something in the darkness seemed to brush his arm.

——Scared Harry immediately had goosebumps all over his body. He stopped moving, slowed his breathing, and listened carefully to everything around him in the darkness.

At this time, there was no abnormal reaction, no movement, as if what he felt just now was an illusion.

— This is even more creepy.

After a while, nothing happened to the good thing, which relieved him a little. At least Harry got used to the dim light here.

(The light is provided by some blue flowers spreading and growing above the wall. In the dark, they emit very faint fluorescence, illuminating the surroundings)

——He was indeed lying on a large pile of criss-crossing vines. These vines were of different thicknesses. Some were as thick as a thigh, but the thinnest ones were as thick as a finger, and the length was even more invisible. They were densely packed, intertwined and intertwined.

But he didn't wait for him to take a closer look at what was going on here.

Hermione shouted anxiously from the hole above.

"Harry - are you all right - are you?"

"—okay?"

Her voice kept echoing between the stone walls, which was very strange.

"I'm fine, there's no problem here, there's something covered, you can jump off now..." Harry said seeing that he was fine now.

After hearing Harry's response, Hermione pulled Ron, who was out of breath, and jumped down.

And after that, when the music stopped, Malfoy saw that the three-headed monster was about to wake up again, so he ran over and jumped off without hesitation.

After the big dog woke up, it barked loudly at the hole here.

But Harry and the others didn't care anymore, they were more concerned about what was this black humanoid creature that jumped down after them?
——Could it be a certain professor's magical defense device?

It stands to reason that in this dark environment, they couldn't see this fuzzy human figure, but the 'little black' Malfoy fell directly beside Ron. Because he jumped in a hurry, the landing posture was not good, and he slammed his head directly into the pile of plants composed of vines.

The head was thrown into it, and the body stood upright like a scallion" (It's all right?)
It took a while for the thing to wake up from its current form of fright, depending on the situation, and began to flail and flail the rest of its body to get on all fours.

And the head buried under the tendrils of the vines was still moaning in pain and cursing aloud.

Ron was right next to this thing, and he could meet it by raising his hand. He stared blankly at the black figure.

——That's why they didn't find out!
(I don't know what kind of plant it is, it seems that it is specially placed here to reduce the collision of the falling creature, anyway...even if such a "little black" fell down with his head hitting the ground, it is not a big deal, but he can step on it with all four limbs and pull out his "head" vigorously)
Harry and the others looked at this weird humanoid creature, acting strangely, looking at each other, dumbfounded and at a loss.

——What the hell is this thing?
"Malfoy?" Harry heard the familiar tone and vocabulary from the scolding, so he tried to ask.

Hey, hey, the figure pulling his head out immediately stopped.

The black image froze as if petrified, and after a few seconds, it started to twitch crazily. He pulled out his head vigorously, looking eager to get out of this tragic experience.

——This is confirmed, it is indeed Draco Malfoy!

——It's just how Malfoy got here, and jumped down one after another after them.

Harry squinted, doubtful.

"When did Malfoy know they were coming here, what did he want to do with them..."

But at this time, Hermione yelled, and then the little black who seemed to be Malfoy was also moaning in pain.

"There's something wrong with these plants! Harry, Ron! Get out of these plants..." Hermione jumped up, trying to move towards the wall.

But it's too late now——

These plants curled up their tentacles, and the snake-like vine tentacles slowly began to wrap around their bodies along their legs, and as they struggled, the tighter and faster they wound up-they were almost suffocating.

And Malfoy hadn't responded for a long time, I don't know if he passed out, maybe...

"Don't move, I remembered... This is the devil's net... The more you struggle, the more movement there is, the more it will entangle the prey. They are close to the movement to distinguish the prey... Don't move, Ron, Harry..." Hermione yelled, and then stopped moving.

Gradually, the vines slowly loosened from her body, no longer entangled, and even began to fade.When Harry heard it, he quickly held his breath and froze his body until his lungs felt like they were about to explode, and the vines gradually began to let him go.

"It's easy for you to say..." Ron struggled, trying to pull the vine that was trying to wrap around his neck.

Hermione sighed, raised her wand to Ron, and whispered.

"All petrochemical!"

Ron's arm snapped straight in the current direction, straightened, no longer pulling the vine, he was stiff, as hard as a rock.

His eyes stared at the front in horror, and his expression of unbelievable horror froze like this.

Finally, Hermione used her wand to conjure a large cluster of blue flames, and the devil's net loosened, subsided, and hid the flames into a dark corner.

And 'Little Black' Malfoy finally broke free from the entanglement, perhaps it should be said that he fell down.

"I can't believe it, Hermione! You actually used the petrification spell on me..." After de-petrifying Ron, he looked displeased and complained loudly, like an angry little witch.

"Come here and help! . . . Ron!" Harry interrupted his complaint.

"Can't you throw this guy here?" Ron said disgustedly, but he still walked forward.

Harry walked to Xiao Hei, who was suspected to be Malfoy, and tried to catch his breath... Fortunately, he just passed out.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he cast the [Levitation Curse] on Malfoy, and then asked Ron and himself to support their heads and feet together, and moved the unknown black figure away from the corner of the stone corridor with the devil's net.

—Harry, he doesn't want to be here anymore.

This is a stone corridor, the air is dark and humid, and even water droplets condense on the stone walls and ceiling panels.

After confirming that Malfoy was fine, even though he was a student of Slytherin, he was still Malfoy...Although they hated this man, and at one point could even be said to hate him, they still couldn't leave him here alone when he fainted, so they had to lift them up and walk along the corridor.

It's so quiet here that it looks a little scary.

In the stone corridor, apart from the breathing and footsteps of a few people, there was only the sound of water droplets dripping from the ceiling and hitting the ground.

And the light is still the same as before, provided by the fluorescence emitted by the blossoming blue flowers.

The faint light illuminated the way forward for several people.

(Hermione said that this is the moon flower, also known as the blue moon. In the magical environment in the wild, it often lives together with the devil's net, and it also grows in underground caves, and can develop magic potions about sleep.)
"Did you hear any sound?" Ron motioned for several people to stop, and they listened carefully to the sound coming from ahead.

……

Malfoy was awakened by rustling and clanging sounds.

After waking up, he was first blinded by the bright lights in this room.

It took him a while to get used to the environment.

——In addition to the bright lights here, there are thousands of them that are as dazzling as gems, shining and flying around with keys with wings.

——After a long time, I remembered that I jumped down the tunnel with Harry and the others.

Harry and the others were on the other side of this huge room, trying to use a spell to open the door.

After recovering and confirming the current situation, Malfoy recalled the previous events.

——How did you get here?

"By the way, something seems to be entangled with me...and I passed out...Oops!..."

Malfoy immediately remembered that he still maintained the magic effect of the black gemstone ring——

--No way! ? ?

He twisted the ring immediately, after the magic effect wore off.

Malfoy raised his hand and froze for a moment...

After seeing that Hermione's Arahorhole Opening Charm didn't work, Harry looked back at the gleaming 'birds', and it was only then that he re-observed that he noticed—

"It's not a bird at all! They're keys! Winged..."

"Hahahaha - puff -" he was interrupted by Ron's burst of laughter, and Hermione covered her belly and bent down.

Harry followed Ron's fingers and looked towards the corner where they had placed the unconscious Malfoy.

——Malfoy has come to his senses, and the magic effect covering his body has disappeared, and he is holding his head...?
--Um?

Harry squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again.

"Pfft-haha-cough cough cough!" Harry patted his chest vigorously.

Although in such a critical moment, and Malfoy's current situation is a bit miserable, they should be more serious.

But Harry couldn't help it.

——This is so pitiful (le)!

I saw that Malfoy was completely black, not the black of human skin, but as if he had repainted it with black paint, and then rolled it in coal powder.

——all over the body, bit by bit, even the lips and nails are black.

It's really inconsistent with his usual "pure-blood wizard style" who maintains his golden hair and buys special potions to treat every acne on his face... It can even be very different.

——This is the reason why Harry and the others couldn't stop laughing.

After hearing the ridicule of several people, Malfoy got angry, stood up and pointed at them, opened his mouth to curse, "You..."

Now Harry felt his stomach hurt even more, and Malfoy's mouth and teeth were all black, even his tongue, his mouth probably looked like this.

(——'Little Black' Malfoy is born!)
