if i am not me

Following Bagman's voice, the three warriors Drake, Krum, and Fleur left their seats in the stands and walked towards the platform one after another.

Compared with the crowded stands, the huge platform seemed a bit empty. The howling cold wind rushed towards them from the lake without hindrance, blowing the corners of their clothes up and down when they took off their robes.

Due to the results of the first race, Drake entered the water second.At this time, he seemed to be very calm. After arranging his shoes and socks without haste, he went on to do some warm-up exercises that seemed a bit weird to a pure-blood wizard, silently waiting for his start signal.

Not long after Krum got into the water, a sharp whistle rang in his ears. Hearing the sound, Draco quickly threw the fish gillweed he had prepared into his mouth, grabbed his wand tightly and jumped into the water.

The force of the moment of entering the water made Draco close his eyes quickly, and at the same time, the slippery and sticky feeling in his mouth made him feel a little sick.But it doesn't matter, because now he is troubled by a sudden burst of pain behind his ears, and that feeling fills his head with buzzing noises.

Fortunately, the stinging pain disappeared after a while, and when everything returned to normal, Draco opened his eyes that were closed due to the pain, and looked curiously at his webbed and finned hands and feet.

Draco felt that his current appearance must be very strange, but after trying to move, he found that those newly grown parts did not affect his own flexibility at all. On the contrary, he is now like a real fish, You can come and go freely in the water.This made him have to admit that the value of fish gill grass is indeed directly proportional to its price.

With a grin, Draco carefully avoided the entangled aquatic plants under his feet, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.The sunlight above the head shines into the water surface and the light casts the lake water in a transparent color. The good vision allows him to clearly see that he is above an endless forest of aquatic plants, except for all kinds of animals swimming around. There was no one around the fish, and the black aquatic plants swayed with the water waves, making people feel a little palpitating for no reason.

Steadying his mind, Drake followed the prompt in the lyrics and entered the enchanting aquatic forest without hesitation after choosing a direction.Carefully checking the movement around him, he swung the fins on his feet and quickly passed through the barriers surrounded by aquatic plants one after another.

The dense aquatic plants blocked Draco's sight, and the abnormal state of not seeing any other creatures in the aquatic plants from time to time made him dare not be careless.After swimming like this for about 10 to [-] minutes, seeing the increasingly sparse aquatic plants and various aquatic creatures gradually increasing beside him, Drake let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, the looming singing gradually came from a distance, which lifted his spirits, because it meant that he had indeed chosen the right direction.

The swing of the feet intensified, and it didn't take long for Drake to completely leave the weird aquatic plants, and the singing of the mermaid was almost within reach.Sure enough, after swimming forward for about 3 minutes, he saw a group of mermaids rounding up giant squid—their skin was gray, their hair was as dark green as water plants, and their yellow eyes were staring at them maliciously. As he swam past them, he seemed to draw out the spear deeply inserted into the squid's body to attack at any moment.

Draco clenched the wand in his hand. Although he knew that these mermaids had been warned not to attack rashly, he had to be on guard against them—after all, the relationship between mermaids and humans was not very friendly.

Walking cautiously through this area, Drake found many mermaids peeking at him from well-concealed caves. What's more, some bold mermaids swam past him from time to time, ugly and ferocious There is no concealment of their curiosity on their faces.Draco thought about the characteristics of the mermaids described in the book, and ignored their actions. He just concentrated on swimming forward while secretly strengthening his guard.

Suddenly, the singing voice that had been lingering in my ears sounded as if it was nearby.Drake immediately avoided a small hill in front of him and looked up. It turned out that he had unknowingly reached the edge of this area, and a mysterious and magnificent scene appeared in his vision.

At this time, he was in a sandy forest, where there were pieces of grass-like plants in the sand, and there were a few shrimps or crabs crawling slowly among them, feeling that someone was coming, these little ones The creature swishes into the sand and hides, leaving only sand churned by its motion.And at the end of the grassland, there is a huge palace-like building composed of various corals and reefs. The gorgeous building is shining blue or white under the sunlight that reaches the bottom of the lake through layers of lake water, surrounded by fish. The scene is even more like being in a dreamland, and it seems to be the center of the mermaid clan.

Draco was in a trance for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and looked in front of the building.There, a group of mermaids were dancing around something, and the singing I heard came from them.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and Draco took a closer look at the objects surrounded by the mermaids. It wasn't the statue that Harry and he were talking about.And there were three people tied up under the statue, which let him know that he had reached his destination.

Without delay, Draco swam forward with all his might, and when he entered the range of more than 50 meters from the building, he could already clearly see the current state of the three of them——Harry, Neville, and a little boy he had never seen before. The girls seemed to be asleep, their heads drooping slightly, and countless tiny air bubbles were coming out of their mouths evenly.

At this moment, Harry's black hair was floating slowly with the waves, faintly covering his cheeks.The eyes were tightly closed, the long eyelashes left a shadow under the eyes, and the brows were calm and stretched.Seeing that the expression on his face was the same, Draco breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were indeed asleep.

The corner of his mouth opened an arc, and Draco, who was a little relieved, looked at the other two.Neville was just like Harry at the moment, sleeping soundly.It was the other little girl, she looked to be about eight years old, with thick silver hair and a face that was eight times like Hibiscus, allowing him, Draco, to immediately determine her identity.

And when Drake was getting closer and closer to the three of them, suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared above the statue, and then slowly dived near the statue, causing the mermaids that had been surrounding the statue to scatter in all directions because of his arrival , exposing the entire statue that was surrounded by groups.

This sudden change made Draco a little surprised. He thought he was fast enough, but he didn't expect someone to come faster than him—yes, that person was Krum who had disappeared before.

Krum obviously didn't expect that someone could catch up so quickly. You must know that he was the first to go into the water, and there was always a few minutes of time difference between him and the No.2 player, so he was quite surprised at Drake's speed.But this time their purpose was only to save people, and Krum, who didn't want to get involved, didn't say much at the moment. He glanced at the little Hogwarts warrior and cut the ropes that bound Neville and took him away. up.

Seeing this, Draco just raised the corners of his eyes for a look, and then turned all his attention back to Harry.

Sliding the fish fins on his feet a few times, he quickly swam to Harry's side, and Draco found that Harry was being tightly entwined with the statue by several thick ropes made of water plants, and a few men holding spears next to him The mermaid stared at them fiercely, but didn't attack them.

Squinting his eyes, Draco quickly shook the wand in his hand, and a red light shot from the tip of his wand precisely to the ropes that were binding Harry.With the shock of the water, the rope that bound Harry was cut cleanly, and his body sank slowly to the bottom of the water because of losing the binding.

Wrapping around Harry's waist, Draco pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly. Feeling the familiar touch, Draco slightly let go of the heart he had been holding.It's just that the current environment didn't allow him time to feel more. He glanced at the mermaids scattered around and stared at him. He cleverly changed Harry's position with himself, and quickly swam back the way he had come.

When he turned around, out of the corner of Draco's eye, he caught sight of the little girl left under the statue. Her slender figure looked more and more lonely at the bottom of this long lake.But this didn't stop Drake's intention to leave. After all, no Cedric would stop Fleur in this match, and she must be here soon.No matter how bad it is, it is impossible for this little girl to die here, at most she will suffer a little more.

Returning the same way, Draco felt a lot more relaxed than when he came, but holding Harry who was still sleeping, he still maintained a cautious attitude and re-crossed the territory that belonged to the mermaids—in any case, they still Still in the water, as long as you haven't left it can't be considered safe.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way, and Draco quickly saw the aquatic grass forest. From the current perspective, the seemingly endless aquatic grass occupied all the places he could see.

After secretly checking the surroundings, there was no mermaid following them, and no other figure was around him and Harry, so Draco smiled with satisfaction.Hugging Harry with the hand that held the wand, he rummaged through the pockets of Harry's robes with the other hand free.After digging for a few seconds, Drake took out a crystal bottle, which contained a small red ball.

Opening the bottle cap with his thumb, he raised his hand and poured the small ball in the bottle into his mouth, then leaned over and kissed Harry's lips that were slightly pale because of being soaked in water.With the sugar-coated potion in his mouth, Draco used his tongue to pry open Harry's clenched teeth and passed the potion. He was worried that Harry would not shut up and pour water into his mouth, so he took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze Harry with his own mouth. He blocked it tightly, until a pair of green eyes stared at him fiercely, and then he smiled and left the lips that made him miss him.

Harry, who had already woken up, did not move. Looking at his surroundings, he glanced at Draco's empty hand. Sure enough, an empty crystal bottle was being pinched in that hand. The web is already white and slender in the hand.

Smiling knowingly, Harry took the initiative to lean his body towards Draco to make him hug him even tighter, and nodded to signal him to move on.This potion was brought by Harry just in case. He originally wanted to give it to Draco in case he needed it from time to time, but after thinking about it again and again, he decided that it was not necessary, so he kept it by himself.But what I didn't expect was that this kid was very clear about his every move, so he let him touch it out and feed him.

Just looking at the beautiful scenery around him, it seems that this is not bad, last time he didn't have so much time to take a good look at the peculiar scenery in the water in order to save people, is it a small compensation?Looking back at Draco who was hugging him and trying to swim towards the starting point, Harry lifted his lips and kissed him on the cheek in a good mood, which should be regarded as an extra small reward.
