I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Of course, it's just a style.

With the advent of high-pressure training, the Slytherin Quidditch team has become unstoppable.

In addition, due to Snape's preference for the Slytherin Quidditch team, he occupied the Quidditch field for a long time.

The playground, which was transformed into a maze last semester, has been restored to its original state.

The heavy rain was mixed with occasional flashes of lightning, and a golden streak quickly passed across the Quidditch field.

"Keep the formation!" Meng Tai roared, and the rain poured into his mouth, making him cough repeatedly.

They were practicing a new tactical formation, Malfoy chasing the Snitch, wearing a pair of waterproof goggles and increasing his speed.

The Firebolt flew through the rain curtain, and the bean-sized raindrops whipped Malfoy, causing him to groan.

The Snitch swooped down, and Malfoy did the same.

The chase between the two was decided in just three seconds.

Malfoy grabbed the Golden Snitch with his right hand and controlled the Firebolt with his left hand. His arm muscles were tense and he was trying hard to control the broomstick close to the ground.

He stopped less than a foot from the Quidditch goalposts.

His tense body relaxed, his wet hair stuck to his face, and he smiled.

"Great Draco, you made it." Montague cheered and landed with his team members.

This dive was practiced many times, each time causing Malfoy to roll on the ground several times.

At the worst, Malfoy fell into a coma.

The Slytherins cheered as Crabbe and Goyle took over the batsman position vacated by graduation.

They are in great shape, but also have a lot of pressure.

Slytherin practices the rule of strength first. If you fly worse than others, you will be kicked out.

A large group of players on the bench were staring at their positions covetously, which made the two of them even play basketball in their dreams.

After finishing training, Malfoy hurriedly took off his jersey and ran towards the Black Lake.

Such hard work made the Slytherin players' scalps tingle.

Mrs. Montgomery sighed, "Otherwise, I could walk with John."

The others nodded understandingly, and some substitute players' eyes lit up. If they worked hard, could they also gain John's favor?

Malfoy ran to the Black Lake and saw Neville waiting there.

Neville took off his loose wizard robes, revealing the muscles on his arms.

He was doing warm-up exercises there, holding two large stones connected by a wooden stick at random.

Malfoy sneered. He had just finished Quidditch training and came here. What did you want to fight with me?

Similarly, when he took off his wizard robe, he revealed muscles that were completely different from Neville's.

The sturdy body and smooth arm lines are full of power.

If Neville is a standing brown bear, then Malfoy is a leopard that can rip someone's throat in an instant.

The two suits of armor started fighting over who to choose.

"No, you go to Xiaolong. He knocked my head off last time."

"I want the Knight Longbottom. Xiaolong lost last time. I don't want it."

Malfoy's face darkened when he heard the conversation between the two guys.

In the end, it was the unruly and freedom-loving Armor who continued to bear Malfoy's burden.

Two men had a rope tied around their waists, and they pulled the armor like two boats.

Just as he was about to run, Neville suddenly said, "What is John doing?"

Malfoy looked up and saw John putting a hand into the water at the rocky edge of the Black Lake.

John frowned and muttered something, then jumped directly into the Black Lake.

After a while, more than a dozen heads emerged from the lake. They were mermaids, grindylows, and other creatures from the Black Lake.

They ran up as if they had encountered something scary.

...

John sank all the way to the bottom of the lake, and he used Transfiguration to transform his lungs into dragon lungs.

One breath is enough to keep him underwater for a whole day.

A blind grindylow approaches John, trying to tease him.

"That guy seems to be hiding in Black Lake."

John squinted his eyes, he was looking for the big octopus hidden in the black lake.

"If he doesn't come out, then force him out."

He exuded an intimidating aura. The approaching Grindylow had no time to take action. He was frightened out of his wits as if he had seen something terrifying and ran away.

The pressure extended all the way out, and nearby creatures fled from the bottom of the lake.

The surrounding Black Lake creatures fled, and John raised his hand and grasped a piece of water grass.

He used elemental magic to communicate with the spirit of the Black Lake, hoping to summon a giant octopus for himself.

But after trying several times, there was no effect.

“The Spirit of the Black Lake doesn’t respond.” John’s heart sank. It seemed like he would have to find it himself.

The wand was pointed out, and the super sense spell was released.

Everything about the Black Lake within a hundred meters in radius was taken into his mind. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would release pressure to drive away the creatures in the Black Lake, and then use the supersensory spell.

In this way, he walked at the bottom of the Black Lake for several hours.

The water pressure of the Black Lake falls on the body, and ordinary people cannot withstand it for long.

John walked towards the castle.

...

In Slytherin, there is a location where you can see the Black Lake.

The transparent glass reflects the scenery inside the Black Lake, and the hazy feeling created by the subtle halo is very popular among Slytherin couples.

There is a saying in Slytherin for couples.

If you love her, take her to see the Mermaid of the Black Lagoon.

In fact, it was just some seniors who deliberately made it to tease their juniors. After all, mermaids are not that pretty to look at.

Moreover, those creatures from the Black Lake will deliberately scare the students with grinning teeth, many times scaring the lower grade students into screaming and running away.

Today is still a day when ignorant junior students are deceived.

A few smirking Slytherin seniors looked at a pair of ignorant and green third-year students, standing there waiting with satisfaction for the mermaid to appear.

Pansy snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Bad taste."

Daphne gave her a questioning look, as she remembered Pansy was one of these seniors two days ago.

Facing Daphne's doubts, Pansy held her face with both hands and said with a crazy look on her face: "As a kind-hearted senior, how can you deceive these lovely juniors?"

Following Pansy's gaze, Daphne saw a Slytherin boy.

The boy has short hair, a baby face, fair skin, and looks bold and lively.

I am a third-grade student.

Seeing Pansy looking at him, the boy immediately waved at her.

Pansy waved back.

Seeing this, Astoria whispered to her sister, "Is she in love?"

Daphne thought it might be.

Astoria said hesitantly, "But I remember that boy had a Ravenclaw girlfriend."

"No way?" Daphne said in surprise.

She thought her best friend wouldn’t be blind a second time, right?

Just as they were discussing, a cry of surprise was heard from the other side.

Scared by a mermaid?

Astoria looked sideways, her mouth hanging open, and the quill in her hand dropped onto the parchment.

Daphne was surprised by her sister's reaction. She had her back to that place and turned to look over there curiously.

The quill in my hand fell and smudged the Potions homework that I had worked so hard to finish.

But she couldn't care less about that, because the young couple over there and the seniors who were there to watch the show all had the same reaction.

They stared with wide eyes at John who was walking in the water as if no one was around.

"Why...is he there?"

Rubbing his eyes, the Slytherin student felt like he was dreaming.

Most importantly, they didn't see John use the Bubblehead Charm.

Walk up to the glass and place your palms on it.

A voice rang in the minds of the young couple.

“Did you see the giant octopus?”

The voice seemed to be spoken right in front of them. The two students opened their mouths so wide that an egg could be stuffed in.

They gestured with their hands and feet, and John had no choice but to let them speak directly.

"I just saw the giant octopus running there."

The girl in the couple pointed in a direction. The giant octopus sometimes ran to the Slytherin area to hang out.

John nodded and walked in the water in that direction.

Leaving behind a group of Slytherin students seemed like a dream.

After that, I don't know who spread the word, saying that John actually has mermaid blood.

Some even say that if you can see John underwater, you will be blessed and be with the person you love.

That glass window also became the most popular place in Slytherin.

...

Chapter 303 Talent and Hard Work

By the Black Lake, Neville and Malfoy rarely did not exercise.

The two of them stared at each other as they watched the sun slowly set.

"John, will he..." Malfoy hesitated, wanting to say something unfortunate.

Neville was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "He won't, but you will."

"What are you talking about!" Malfoy said angrily.

Neville looked up behind Malfoy and said again, "You really will."

Malfoy felt the chill behind him and swallowed hard.

Turning her head, Daphne's pretty face was covered with frost.

Malfoy smiled sadly, stood up and said calmly, "Although I am dead today, I am still a horse... Ouch."

Before he could finish his words, he was hung upside down on the tree.

Daphne came to the lake and waited for John to come out.
