Chapter 276：

Of course, it’s just style.

With the emergence of pressure training, the Slytherin Quidditch team has become rain or shine.

Coupled with Snape's preference for the Slytherin Quidditch team, he occupied the Quidditch pitch for a long time.

The stadium that was transformed into a maze last semester has returned to its original state.

The heavy rain was mixed with lightning arcs that flashed from time to time, and a touch of gold quickly shuttled across the Quidditch pitch.

"Keep the formation!" Montague roared, rainwater pouring into his mouth and making him cough repeatedly.

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

The firebolt flew through the rain, and the big raindrops were like whipping, making Malfoy groan.

The Golden Snitch swooped down, and Malfoy also swooped down.

The one after another chase, the winner will be decided in 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 the broomstick was pressed against the ground as he struggled to control it.

He stopped less than a foot from the Quidditch goalpost.

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

"Awesome Draco, you succeeded." Montague cheered and led the team members to their destination.

This dive was practiced many times, and each time Malfoy rolled on the ground several times.

At its worst, Malfoy fell into a coma.

Slytherin cheered, and Crabbe and Goyle took the batsman positions vacated by graduation.

Their body shape is very suitable, but they also have a lot of pressure.

Slytherin implements the rule of strength first. As long as you fly worse than others, you will be kicked out.

A large group of players on the bench stared at their positions, which made the two of them play in their dreams even when they were sleeping.

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

This effort made the Slytherin players' scalps go numb.

Mrs. Montague said with emotion: "How about someone else can walk with John."

Others nodded with understanding, and some substitute players' eyes shone. If they worked hard, could they also win John's favor?

Malfoy, who ran to the Black Lake, saw Neville already waiting here.

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

He was doing warm-up exercises there, connecting two large rocks with wooden sticks and holding them casually.

Malfoy smiled disdainfully. He came over just after finishing Quidditch training. What do you want to test with me?

He also took off the wizard's robe, revealing muscles that were completely different from Neville's.

A strong body and smooth arm lines full of strength.

If Neville is a brown bear that stands upright, then Malfoy is a leopard that can tear out its throat in an instant.

Two pairs of armors were fighting over who to choose.

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

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

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

In the end, the unrestrained and free-spirited armor continued to serve as Malfoy's burden.

Each of the two men had a rope tied to their waist, pulling the armor like two ships.

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

Malfoy looked up and saw that at the rocks beside the black lake, John put a hand into the water.

Not knowing what he was saying, John frowned, and then jumped directly into the black lake.

After a while, a dozen heads emerged from the lake, including mermaids, Grindylow, and other creatures from the Black Lake.

They seemed to have encountered something terrible and ran up one after another.

…

John sank all the way to the bottom of the lake. He used the transformation technique to turn his lungs into dragon lungs.

One breath was enough to keep him underwater all day.

A blind Grindylow approaches John, wanting to tease him.

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

John squinted his eyes, looking for the big octopus hiding in the black lake.

"If you don't come out, then force it out."

His body exuded an intimidating force. Grindylow, who was approaching, had no time to make a move. He seemed to have seen something terrifying and was so frightened that he ran away.

The coercion extended all the way, and the nearby creatures fled from the bottom of the lake one after another.

The surrounding black lake creatures fled, and John raised his hand to hold a waterweed.

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

But I tried several times, but to no avail.

"The spirit of the Black Lake doesn't respond." John's heart sank. It seemed that he could only find it by himself.

The magic wand was drawn, and the supersensory spell was released.

Everything about the black lake with a radius of 100 meters was in his mind. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would release pressure to expel the creatures in the black lake, and then use the super-sense 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 hold on for long.

John walked towards the castle.

…

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

The transparent glass reflects the scenery in the black lake, and the hazy look created by the subtle halo is very popular among young Slytherin lovers.

There is a saying in Slytherin for lovers.

If you love her, take her to see the mermaid in the Black Lake.

In fact, it was deliberately caused by some seniors to tease their juniors. After all, mermaids are not good at all.

Moreover, those creatures from the black lake would deliberately show their teeth and scare the students, many times scaring the lower class students so much that they screamed and ran away.

Today is still a day when ignorant students are deceived.

Several Slytherin seniors with evil smiles looked at a pair of ignorant third-year students, standing there expecting the mermaid to appear with full satisfaction.

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

Daphne gave her a questioning look. She remembered that Pansy was one of the seniors two days ago.

Faced with Daphne's doubts, Pansy held her face in her hands and said with a look of infatuation: "As a kind-hearted senior sister, how can you deceive the lovely juniors?"

Looking along Pansy's line of sight, Daphne saw a Slytherin boy.

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

He is a third-year student.

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

Pansy waved in response.

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

Daphne thinks it might be.

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

"No way?" Daphne said in surprise.

She doesn’t think her best friend will go blind for the second time, right?

While they were discussing, there were exclamations from over there.

Scared by the mermaid?

Astoria looked sideways, her mouth wide open, and the quill in her hand fell on the parchment.

Daphne was surprised at her sister's reaction. She turned her back to that side and turned to look over curiously.

The quill in his hand fell down and stained the Potions homework he had finally written.

But she couldn't care less about this, because the young lovers over there and the senior students watching the show all had the same reaction.

They stared wide-eyed at John, who was walking in the water as if there was no one else around.

"Why...why is he there?"

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

The most important thing is that they didn't see John use the Bubble Curse.

Go to the glass and place your palms on the glass.

A voice sounded in the minds of the young lovers.

"Have you seen a big octopus?"

The voice sounded as if they were standing in front of them. The two students opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff an egg.

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

"I just saw the big octopus running there."

The girl in the couple pointed in a direction. The big octopus would sometimes wander around Slytherin.

John nodded and walked in that direction in the water.

A group of Slytherin students were left behind, as if they were in a dream.

Afterwards, I don’t know who spread the news that John actually has mermaid blood.

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

That glass window has become the most popular place in Slytherin.

…

Chapter 303 Talent and Effort

On the edge of the Black Lake, it was rare for Neville and Malfoy not to exercise.

The two of them watched the sun go down little by little, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

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

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

"What are you talking about!" Malfoy was angry.

Neville looked up at Malfoy and confirmed again, "You really can."

Malfoy felt the chill behind him and swallowed hard.

Turning around to look, Daphne's pretty face was covered with frost.

Malfoy smiled sadly, stood up and said calmly, "Today, although I am dead, I am still a horse... Oops."

Before he finished speaking, he was hung upside down on the tree.

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