"Today's assignment is no less than two pieces of parchment on the boundaries of Transfiguration application, turn it in on Friday, okay, class is over. With a stern but patient reminder. After assigning today's assignments, Professor McGonagall announced the end of today's Transfiguration class.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione then took the opportunity to hurry out of the classroom.

They were now on their way to the same room where Sirius was staying, as Sirius had sent them a message that the scuba they had custom-made in the Muggle shop was now in place.

"Oh, Harry, slow down, don't rush. As the three of them trotted all the way to the path not far from the hut, they saw Sirius standing on the threshold, and beckoned to them.

Only then did they slow down a little and walk over slowly.

"Don't worry, it's not going to go away. Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and smiled.

"Whew, whew. The three of them then followed Sirius into the room, panting, and found chairs to sit down.

"The process was generally smooth, I am familiar with Muggles now, I have dealt with them a lot during the days when I was on the run, and occasionally there would be well-meaning Muggles who thought I was a stray dog and gave me some food. Sirius smiled, then took the teapot and poured a steaming cup of tea for each of the three of them.

"I even negotiated with them for a while, and at the exchange rate with Muggle society, it cost a few gold Galleons less. Sirius said triumphantly and pleasantly, his relaxed smile even adding wrinkles to his face.

"Well, look. He then gestured to the large bed behind him that had been used to sleep Hagrid.

Only then did Harry and the others notice that the large quilt on the bed, which was originally made of colorful fabrics, had been lifted and set aside, and a large cardboard box was placed on the bed.

"I'll open it for you. Sirius walked over, and his wand slashed lightly at the seal of the cardboard box, which bounced open in the middle as if it had been stabbed through it with a sharp blade.

It is said to buy scuba, but the equipment cannot be just one set, a complete, professional device that can make people dive is equipped with many components, such as breathing apparatus, diving goggles, diving shoes, fins and other things.

Ron looked at the dazzling array of equipment, and couldn't help but reach out curiously to touch it.

"Stop! Ron" Hermione immediately scolded Ron's behavior, then approached the pile and rummaged through it, picking up two pamphlets from it.

"We'll have to read the instructions first," Hermione said, staring at Ron, seriously.

Ron was unconvinced, looking very upset with Hermione's behavior

"Yes, when I bought this thing, the Muggle shop owner gave me repeated advice, asking me if I needed someone to guide me on how to use it. Sirius glanced at Hermione appreciatively, "If there is no skilled person to guide you, some accidents are likely to happen." Sirius nodded and continued.

"Introductory Guide to Scuba?" Hermione whispered as she looked at the cover of the pamphlet in her hand, "and then "A Guide to First Aid for Drowning People?" Hermione looked at the second booklet.

"Oh, the shopkeeper had to add that book, and he thought I might be in danger in the water if I went my own way. Sirius nodded, then turned to Harry, "I don't have a problem with you wanting to use scuba, it's a good idea, but we can't put our eggs in one basket." ”

Sirius paused.

"I have a spell in mind, and if I have time, maybe I can teach it to you later. Sirius snapped his fingers, a slightly smug expression.

"But now, you can put your mind on this thing, to be honest, I'm actually very curious about Muggle stuff, they don't know magic at all, but they also do what we can only do with magic, isn't that amazing?" he looked at the pile of scuba components.

Together, the four of them began research on scuba.

"Hmm... These things can be set aside first. Hermione looked at the manual, then reached out and put aside a disc that was stuck in the manual, "Hogwarts doesn't have a computer. She shook her head.

"We should teach Harry to wear this gear first. She said.

After that, wetsuits, fins... Pieces of equipment were put on Harry's own hands and with the help of the rest of the group.

Soon, Harry was wrapped in the equipment, and he looked ready to go, so he could get into the water and swim in the water right now.

"I think it's very difficult to walk right now. Through the mirror, Harry said with a sigh of anger that he now felt like he was being pressed tightly from top to bottom, and he was about to lose his breath.

The weight of the equipment itself is not a small amount, and he also carries a cylinder on his shoulder that is responsible for providing oxygen, which makes it even heavier.

In order to cope with the deep water pressure, the whole set of equipment is made of better quality materials, so the weight also rises with the tide.

Harry tentatively walked a few steps into the hut, making a "stampeding" sound, which seemed extremely difficult.

At this time, the clock rang at noon.

"I think we've got to go. Hermione helplessly held her forehead, looked at Harry, who was now at a loss, and said, "We still have Snape's class in the afternoon, and if we don't eat now, we may not have time to take a lunch break and may be late." ”

"I don't dare sleep in the old bat's class!" exclaimed Ron.

A few men hurriedly began to help Harry disassemble his equipment, and finally put the items back into the cardboard box.

"Let's go, it's still early, next time I'll teach you a spell, maybe it's better than it. Sirius didn't seem to be very optimistic this time, so he comforted and sent the three of them to the door of the hut.

"Goodbye, Sirius! Harry said gratefully.

"Wait!"

Just as the three of them were about to hurry back to the Gryffindor break room with the cardboard box, Sirius stopped them, trotted all the way from the door to the large bed, reached out and fumbled for a moment, and then quickly rushed back.

"You've dropped something. He stepped over the threshold, ran his hand over his hard stubble, and handed the Drowning Man's First Aid Guide, which Hermione had forgotten, to Ron, who was closest to him.

"Thank you. Ron said, and slipped the book into the box.

Along the path, the three of them carried the large cardboard box and began to rush to the common room of their academy, before eating, they had to put this device in place, they couldn't take this box to the auditorium to eat, right?

That's so impressive.

"Hermione, you go to dinner first, and Ron and I will do the same. "It's three people, but it's actually just two people carrying the box, and when Hermione, as a girl, wanted to help, she was decisively rejected by Harry, saying that it might be more inconvenient for three people to move the box in the four corners, and it was inconvenient to balance.

"Yes, just me and Harry. Ron picked up the conversation, and after a few days of working together, the relationship between him and Hermione seemed to have eased, and as long as the two of them selectively forgot about their pre-dance partner's unhappy experience at the same time, they could live together peacefully.

At this time, Ron also wanted to show his gentlemanly demeanor and prove that he was not much worse than that Krum.

Hermione tilted her head and looked at the two of them who were panting a little before she exhaled and said, "Okay, you guys hurry up too." ”

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!" Hermione then stretched out her wand and read it to the box, and Harry and Ron felt that the pressure on his hands had eased considerably.

"Levitation Charm, why didn't you use it sooner?" said Ron at this point.

"That's what I just thought. Hermione covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, looking embarrassed, and continued: "I was still thinking about how to solve the bulky scuba problem when I was walking on the road just now, and I didn't notice that you guys were working so hard for the time being. ”

"Okay, I'll go first, come on. Hermione waved at them, changed her running stance, and hurried down the path towards the Great Hall.

"Come on, man. Ron comforted Harry, and after a brief pause, the two of them were back on their way.

As we walked like this, we were passing through the green field next to the Quidditch pitch when an accident suddenly happened.

Harry felt the weight on his hands suddenly increase a lot, and without paying attention, the whole cardboard box shook and almost lost his balance and slipped out of his hands, but fortunately he grabbed the box in time to prevent it from falling to the ground.

"Ron?" he immediately sensed that there might be something wrong with Ron behind him, turned his head slightly sideways, and asked suspiciously.

"Let's go, Harry. Ron said with some panic, as if he had seen something very terrifying.

Hearing Ron's panicked tone, Harry didn't have time to dwell on what Ron was seeing, so he had to listen to him and quicken his pace.

Ron also returned to normal after a brief period of absence, and the rhythm of the two began to gradually converge again.

"Fake for real!"

With a command, the fat lady in the portrait moved out of the way, and the two of them finally made it all the way back to the Gryffindor common room.

"Whew, whew. Ron was sitting panting heavily, his face was extremely pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, it was obvious that under Hermione's levitation charm, the weight of this box would not make him so tired, and his abnormality must have other reasons.

Harry went to check the box in the corner again, and after making sure everything was okay, he went over to Ron and asked, "Who did you just see?" Snape?"

"Yes, it's him!" the old bat was standing on the grass and looking at us maliciously. Ron's pale face flushed, and he said excitedly.

"That's why I was taken aback at that time, urging you to hurry up, or you will be stopped, and we will have to find other excuses to get out, and maybe we will have to deduct points. Ron continued to explain.

"I see. Harry nodded in realization, "That looks like we're lucky not to be caught by him." ”

"Of course!" Ron continued, as if trying to hide something, trying to end the conversation quickly.

He had lied, and Snape had no time to target them at the time, and he was eating his lunch in silence in a corner of the Great Hall.

"Harry?" a somewhat thick voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling the two of them.

"Neville, are you going to scare us to death?" Ron said angrily.

It turned out that Neville was standing behind them at some point.

The face that was originally a little chubby seems to have lost a lot of weight now, and the eyes that are occasionally a little dull have become brighter.

"I have something I want to say to you privately. Neville said earnestly to Harry.

Ron also breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

The real reason he didn't dare to admit was this-

"It's funny. Fleur Delacour walked briskly over to where Harry and Ron had just passed, bent down and picked up a pamphlet from the ground, muttering something to his mouth.

After lunch, she decided to wander around Hogwarts, and happened to run into two people who were separated from Hermione and were carrying scuba.

Just as she was about to get closer, she found that the boy in front of her, who had been rejected by her, was running like crazy.

"Am I a monster or a fire dragon?" Fleur frowned, she still felt that her previous words to Ron were a bit too much, and she wanted to apologize to him for that poisonous refusal.

At that time, she was also in a state of emotional out-of-control, and it was unfortunate that Ron happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, so she had such an overreaction.

Otherwise, even if he refused, he would not reveal the scars like this and trample his self-esteem to the ground.

"I'm going to set a good example for Gabrielle. Fleur thought to herself, she didn't want to be seen as a small-bellied chicken in her sister's eyes.

Of course, all these chances of redemption were ruined by Ron, perhaps because the blow was too great, and when he saw Fleur now, he felt that this girl would viciously mock him again.

That was the root cause of his panic urging Harry just now.

"First aid guide for drowning people?" Fleur patted the dusty cover of the booklet lightly, then read the title in a warm and pleasant voice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the afternoon of the day before the start of the second project.

In the Slytherin lounge, the marble fireplace was blazing, and there was a warm atmosphere throughout the room, which contrasted with the bitter cold outside.

Malfoy was talking to Pansy, and Pansy's face was light, while the former looked serious and worried.

"Miss Parkinson, Professor Snape invites you to the office"

Malfoy immediately panicked and got up from his seat.

Then Pansy's hand grabbed her.

"I'm the one Professor Snape called, so stay here and prepare for tomorrow's game. Pansy reassured, then stood up and limped after the boy.

It is worth mentioning that the robe on her body seems to be a little ill-fitting, loose and baggy, and it looks muddy when she walks.
