At the Christmas ball, probably Harry and Ron danced the least, Harry refused the girls' invitation because he didn't want to highlight himself and Hermione too much, and he wanted to talk to Draco, Ron's words...... Harry didn't know what was wrong with him, he looked at him sitting in front of him, puffing and puffing, and he didn't know what he was sulking.

Draco had long been dragged to dance by the Slytherin girls, and in Draco's education, he couldn't refuse girls too much, after all, girls were princesses.

The ball ended at twelve o'clock, and Harry helped Hermione, who was a little tired, and he tilted his head to Hermione and said, "Are you alright?" ”

Hermione smiled and nodded, she actually had a lot of fun today, so even though she danced a lot, she didn't really feel that tired. Harry squeezed her hand, "So can you go back on your own?" ”

Hermione winked at Loki, who was following Harry, and Draco, who was beside Loki, and nodded knowingly, "So, Merry Christmas." ”

"Merry Christmas."

Harry lowered his head and landed a gentle kiss on Hermione's forehead, a kiss from the family, and Hermione and Harry hugged before going over to say goodbye to the rest of Lestrade. In fact, Hermione is also very tolerant of the relationship with little Lestrade, they don't have any feelings between men and women, even if she used to like Hannibal so much, but ...... Hermione knew that it was impossible for her to do anything with Hannibal. They are closer to home than friends, they are family.

Family, in fact, the word family is very warm.

Hermione lifted her skirt and said goodbye to them, then turned and followed her companions back.

Harry's mind was still thinking about what Draco had said to him before, he nodded to Loki and they were about to go back to Loki and Draco's bedroom on the Slytherin side together, just then someone stopped Harry, Harry turned to the man and said, "Cedric? ”

"I haven't spoken to you just now, but this year's Christmas is very meaningful."

"Yes, a very good Christmas."

Harry followed Cedric's words, he guessed that Cedric had something to say to him, and his actions just now were obviously to set the stage for the words to come.

Cedric smiled with Harry again, this man is very handsome, and the whole person is very attractive, Autumn? Zhang's Ravenclaw girl from China is Cedric's female companion, and it is said that the two are still lovers.

Harry had previously been playing Quidditch with Cho? Zhang said hello,

The black-haired girl was very beautiful, with an indescribable beauty.

Soon Cedric was talking about the purpose of his conversation with Harry today, and he leaned in and lowered his voice and said, "Listen Harry, I owe you a favor for the dragon before, so now I will also tell you something about how to open that golden egg." ”

The Golden Egg had a hint of their second match, Harry had tried to open it once, but was startled by the screams inside, and he never tried it again, just left it aside.

Now that Cedric was going to tell him the secret about the golden eggs, Harry was a little curious, and he smiled and nodded and put his ears together, "Take the golden eggs to take a bath, the water is convenient for your thinking," with the prefect's bathroom. On the sixth floor, the fourth door to the left of the statue of Confused Boris. The mantra is fresh pineapple. ”

So is the secret to opening the golden egg in the water? He didn't expect that Harry would thank Cedric very sincerely, thanking him for sharing the secret about the golden egg, so that Harry would not be blinded in the second match.

"Aren't we all Hogwarts warriors?"

They actually help each other, Harry tells him about the dragon, and he reciprocates Harry about how to open the golden egg, and Cedric believes that the other two warriors should be able to find a way, after all, their professors have selfish intentions.

After saying goodnight to Cedric, Harry caught up with the brothers, and Loki glanced at Harry and said, "What did you say?" ”

"The Golden Egg thing."

Loki raised an eyebrow, they were both there when Harry opened the golden egg before, and that scream almost made Loki wave his hand to destroy the golden egg, but now, according to Harry, the golden egg should have a special way of opening.

Harry wasn't going to go to the prefect's bathroom, he could have conjured up a big bathtub for himself, and some things could be solved secretly, if he went to the prefect's bathroom and was discovered, it was estimated that someone would make a fuss in it, and it would also affect Cedric.

The matter of the golden egg was not Harry's most concern, and when he returned to the Slytherin dormitory, Harry did not immediately ask everyone to rest, but sat on the couch and said to Draco, "What did Lucius say?" About that person. ”

Draco was silent for a moment and said, "You should know the nature of the Malfoy family. ”

Now that the Lestrades have found their own place, if it is about that person, they need to pay attention, although they don't think that Voldemort will cause them much influence, or harm, but his ghost is a piece of the heart of the little Lestrades after all.

"We all know that."

In fact, this matter is not a secret, it should be said that everyone knows the nature of the Malfoy family, Voldemort's right and left hands are not just talking, but they also know Lucius? Malfoy wanted to make a transformation for his family, and he had helped Dumbledore just to make a statement.

Draco looked at the Lestrades, they must be trustworthy.

"You must have heard of the Dark Mark too, right?"

The Dark Mark is Voldemort's mark, which leaves a mark on the top of a corpse or house whenever he or his Death Eaters kill someone. The mark was a gigantic skeleton, made up of countless turquoise star-like things, and a large python emerged from the skeleton's mouth like a tongue. Harry had seen it before, at the beginning of this year, at the Quidditch World Cup.

But the Dark Mark is more than just that, it is also imprinted on the left arm of everyone who joins the ranks of the Death Eaters as a sign of identification. Whenever Voldemort was powerful or in his vicinity, the markings on the Death Eater's arms would burn and become clearer and red.

At the same time, it can be summoned, whether the Death Eater wants to summon Voldemort or Voldemort wants to summon the Death Eaters, all you need to do is press the Dark Mark and then use the illusion to come to that person's side like a coordinate.

"You mean to say...... Lucius sensed Voldemort's presence. ”

Draco still quietly shook his body when he heard the name, he didn't dare to call out the person's name like Harry, and even felt scared when he heard that name, Voldemort had become a kind of symbol.

"Yes, my father said he felt the burning sensation of that mark getting stronger."

Harry pursed his lips, so what he had dreamed of before was not the future, but ...... Reality.

"It seems that Voldemort's resurrection should have something to do with your encounter with the plot this time, and when it comes to the Quidditch World Cup, it looks like there will be a bloody storm after that."

This was said by Loki, and it is clear that it was because the man had come back that the Death Eaters had become so bold.

Harry didn't speak, he wasn't really worried about Voldemort, because Voldemort wasn't very powerful in that dream, he was just ...... Professor Trelawney's language still worried Harry, saying that Voldemort would be even more powerful when he came back again.

Harry wasn't worried about how powerful he would be, he was just worried about whether the madman would hurt his most important person.

"I guess if he is fully resurrected, he will definitely come out, and there should be nothing to worry about now, just ...... There is one thing to note after that. ”

Harry tried to make things as easy as he could, and if he got nervous, it would make his brothers nervous as well.

Draco's expression was still worried, Harry looked at him and laughed, he beckoned to Draco, it was the first time that Draco walked forward obediently like this, Harry took Draco's hand and said, "Trust me, there are still us." ”

No matter how big the wind and rain is, he can help Draco carry it, can't he?

Loki looked at the two people with their fingers interlocked, the relationship between these two people was already clear, when they didn't know it.

Merlin also winked at Loki and Thor, and then secretly pointed at Harry and Draco, he snickered as if to say that the two were now close, Loki patted Merlin's hair, according to Harry's intentions...... If nothing else, he'd come to know Draco for the rest of his life.

"It's probably a combination that will make the people of Hogwarts fall through their glasses."

Loki thought so, and Thor kissed Loki's sideburns, Harry and Draco...... Actually, standing together is a good match, but Draco has somewhat surpassed the image of the lover they thought of for Harry, and the little girl has become a tsundere little boy.

The next morning of Christmas, Harry prepares to open the golden egg.

He chose to stay in Loki's bathroom, because Slytherin was a dormitory for two people, not only was it more spacey, but the bathroom was twice the size of Gryffindor, and Harry used Transfiguration to conjure up an oversized bathtub in it, which was then filled with water.

He took off his robe, and entered the water with the golden egg in his arms wearing only his underwear.

Harry placed the golden egg in the water, he took a deep breath and then plunged into the water, where he opened the golden egg again, this time not with such a piercing scream, but with a ...... Singing, singing in the water.

There's something strange about that singing,

And it's like a lot of people singing in unison.

Harry heard the lyrics:

Look for us, where our voices sound,

We can't sing on the ground.

As you search, think carefully:

We snatched your most beloved baby.

You only have an hour to spare,

to find and recover what we have taken,

After an hour there was no hope,

It is completely gone and will never appear.

After hearing the lyrics, Harry jerked out of the water, stood up with the golden egg in his arms, and shook the drops of water from his hair.

Loki, who heard the movement inside, opened the bathroom, Loki hit the drying charm on Harry's body, quickly evaporating the water vapor on his body, Thor handed the robe to Harry, Harry handed the golden egg to Thor and put on the clothes, his expression was a little serious.

Draco's cheeks were a little red, he had never seen Harry like this, even if Harry lived in their dormitory before, he had come out with his clothes dressed after every shower, it was the first time he had appeared in front of Draco like this half-□□.

He thinks he needs to say something to ease the embarrassment now, "Is there anything in the golden egg?" ”

Harry scratched his hair in his robe and nodded, "A song." ”

"A song?" Draco repeated.

"Yes."

Harry couldn't get it right, it was a song.

Harry began to talk about the lyrics of the song, word for word.

This song should have something to do with the second competition, Loki hooked his hand to the two-way mirror on the table, sometimes they still need to brainstorm ideas, don't they, and now that the family is in the house, McCroft and their DAD are there, which can help them figure out a way.

"Harry?"

Harry is seeing his own dad Greg? Lestrade's face suddenly laughed happily when he appeared on the other side of the two-way mirror, and he waved his hand and said, "DAD!" ”

“dad。”

The other three also shouted, generally Loki and Saul like to call Lestridwei Greg, they rarely call Dad like that, just like Hannibal, but not calling it doesn't mean they don't think Greg is not their father, they are still a little awkward.

This time it was probably because it had been a little too long to leave the house, and even Loki and Thor had called obediently.

Thor actually knows that this person's life is not as big as a fraction of his own, but probably because he was demoted to grow up again, and has been by this person's side, Thor really put Greg? Lestrade saw him as his father. In fact, he and Loki have not experienced the fatherly love of life since they were children, and Odin is the king of the Nine Realms before they are their father, so it is so rare for them to be recognized and praised by Odin.

But Greg? Lestrade is different, over the years he has completely made up for what he and Loki lacked when they were young, and that strong paternal love makes Saul feel happy now.

So this man is their father, the father on earth.

"Did you still have fun at Christmas?"

"It's fun!"

Merlin rushed to answer this, and Greg looked at his youngest son and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Merlin, my angel." ”

Draco sat in the back and watched the mature Lestrade coquettish their dad in their own way, and he laughed and said that even the likes of Harry, Thor, and Loki used to be coquettish.

After talking to the fathers, Harry thought about the reason for the two-way mirror this time.

When Harry repeated the lyrics again, Mycroft, who had been sitting in silence in the back, began to speak slowly: "The first line of the lyrics that Harry just said was 'Look for us, where our voices sound, we can't sing on the ground.'" 'According to Harry, the golden egg was opened underwater, which means that what you need to look for should be in the water. ”

Hannibal and the others all nodded their heads, and as they thought, it should be a unique sound wave, which cannot be transmitted in the air, because it is opened in the water, so it should be the song sung by underwater creatures.

"That's what I thought, this time the game should have something to do with water."

Harry thought for a moment and said cautiously.

This is followed by the second sentence, "As you search, think carefully: we have robbed you of your most beloved treasure." McCroft continued, "Baby, snatched it." These two sentences are very directive.,I think it should have something to do with what you like.,Snatching and snatching back in the next sentence has echoed up and down, isn't it.。 ”

Harry nodded, yes, there was a recapture in the next sentence.

"The last sentence is, 'You have only one hour to find and recover what we have taken, and after an hour there is no hope, it is completely gone, never to be seen.'" In this song, the time and the playing field have been given to you, and you can reclaim your taken treasure underwater within an hour, and if you exceed an hour, your beloved baby will be gone forever. ”

The time, place, people, and conditions should all be given.

"It's supposed to be the Black Lake underwater, and there are a lot of magical creatures in the Black Lake."

The largest lake in the vicinity of Hogwarts is the Black Lagoon, and even the Slytherin common room can be seen from inside the Black Lagoon. So the location was decided, and this time the tournament should be held in the Black Lagoon.

"Someone who can talk and sing?"

"Merfolk."

It was at this time that Draco accosted, mermaids are very different from Muggle fairy tales, although they have a fishtail, they are fierce and abnormal, a mouthful of fangs and even weapons in their hands, they have a special way of communicating, they can communicate with people, and the relationship with Hogwarts is like that of a centaur, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it has always been symbiotic.

"The mermaid is a ferocious creature, and their song has a seductive effect in the water, the mermaid is a carnivorous animal, and there are many schools of mermaids at the bottom of the Black Lake, there are many of them, and the complex terrain below the Black Lake will definitely be difficult this time."

Draco was probably more familiar with the Black Lake than Harry, not only with the mermaids, but also with the giant squid, and at the bottom of the lake there were a mess of aquatic weeds that could easily get caught up in them.

"Actually, there's another problem that people can't go underwater for an hour without breathing."

Harold points out an important problem, one that Harry is facing.

"This time it was supposed to be a test of Harry's bravery and how to stay underwater for an hour."

Mycroft shook Lestrade's hand and said, it sounded dangerous, but it was more of a test.

Harry already had an idea in his mind, and now they just had to find a spell that would breathe underwater for a long time.

But beloved?

Harry didn't know what they were going to take away from him.

When discussing this matter, no one thought that the so-called beloved baby is not necessarily an object, but may also be ...... Person.

After finishing the conversation, Harry stood up and patted his clothes, "I should go, there shouldn't be no one on Ron's side." ”

Harry hadn't met Gryffindor for a night because of Voldemort and the Golden Eggs, and he wasn't worried about Ron, especially Ron, who had obviously been controlled.

Harry looked at Draco, who was still a little worried, and suddenly dropped a kiss on his forehead, "Goodbye." ”

The flirtatious kiss caused Draco to blow his hair and he nearly blasted Harry out of his bedroom with a spell.

There was nothing strange about Ron during this time, the whole Hogwarts was also very calm, except for another person who disappeared from the Ministry of Magic, everything seemed to be calm and unnatural, Harry felt a storm brewing, Voldemort should have been resurrected, he suggested that Draco let Lucius talk to Dumbledore, if the Malfoy family wants to completely change from black to white, Dumbledore must be able to play a decisive role in it.

Arthur couldn't find any trace of the fairies in the lake during this time, and he didn't know if they were retreating and didn't want to help, but because he was getting closer to Merlin, he forgot what he wanted to investigate.

In the blink of an eye, February 24th is approaching, and the fairies of the lake finally appeared in Arthur's dream two nights before the game, and they told Arthur the results of the recent investigation through the dream, and there has been some turmoil in the ancient religion recently, and they went back for a trip before they began to investigate what Arthur had asked them to do.

There is not only a person mixed in this Hogwarts, they have found a lot of different traces, but when they want to track it, they will cut off the clues, it should be someone who helped the people who mixed in to hide, among them there is a more powerful aura, the fairy in the lake told Arthur to pay attention.

Anyway, the fairies of the lake have determined the fact that Hogwarts has mixed in with someone, and they really need to be on guard.

Arthur asks the lake fairy if she has any magic that can breathe underwater, and the lake fairy tells Arthur that they can be blessed, and that the blessing from the lake fairy can make the blessed person unhindered underwater.

In the blink of an eye, February 24 has arrived.

Harry is about to lose his beloved baby. 166 Reading Network
