Chapter 2019: The Threat Approaches

"Crunch—"

With a groan that only bent the planks would have been, the Change tilted a little, causing anything that had been placed anywhere on the ship to move or even fall crookedly.

Obviously, it was not just the young wizards in the classroom who noticed this leaning forward.

"Smack."

At that moment, Snape, who was briskly walking down the aisle, quickly crouched down and reached out to help the floor to save himself from falling to the ground like the hapless Alexander.

When the ship's angle was back in place, he turned his head and saw Professor McGonagall, who was following behind, just in time to grab the curtain hanging from the wall on one side of the aisle, trying to get herself up straight again.

"Severus." McGonagall turned to Snape, "Don't go back, I think we'd better go straight to the deck!" By the way, Filius and Pomona were called together. ”

"Hmm."

Snape, who had just wanted to discuss with McGonagall first, nodded his head at this time, and immediately turned back and strode back.

"Something really wasn't right...... Durmstrang's Change, theoretically enough to resist the pull of the deep-sea whirlpool," he said as he spoke, "what force would cause it to suddenly tilt so much?" ”

Because the aisle was located on the center line of the ship, and there was no direct view of the outside through the porthole, Snape was even more worried.

"Professor McGonagall, I'll go back to the deck and take a look, and you can get Flitwick and Sprout up as soon as you can...... On the student's side, leave it to the other professors for the time being! ”

As he passed McGonagall, he said this, and then added:

"I could feel it from the moment I was watching a will...... No, maybe it's the people who are watching this whole ship at all! Be careful, I don't know what it is, but I think it's not ordinary. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was already away from McGonagall and made his way to the stairs leading up the deck.

……

Honestly, with Snape's character, if this had happened somewhere other than the ship, he would certainly not have been as positive as he was now. Even if he had encountered such a situation on the ship, if it had not been for Tia, he might have walked away depending on the situation.

But now, Severus Snape is no longer the alone person he once was. With a younger sister, he has changed a lot, and although he never mentions it, he seems to have gradually gotten used to taking care of Tia's thoughts in everything.

For example, now, once this kind of hidden crisis accident happens, he knows that Tia will never put her own interests first like him - no, they just got off the deck together, but in a blink of an eye, Tia took the initiative to go to the student dormitory area to check on the situation of the little wizards!

For this reason, at least Snape felt that he had no more choice.

And instead of hesitating whether to insist on waiting and seeing, he quickly decided that in the end, it would be more proactive!

"Tsk, most of that little girl won't leave anyway...... What a hassle! ”

Muttering like this, he climbed the stairs again, pushed open the hatch and returned to the outside deck. And the moment he opened the door, he found that the fog outside seemed to have completely enveloped the sea.

This terrible sense of déjà vu suddenly made Snape's brow furrow tighter and tighter.

"Bang!"

Slamming the hatch behind him, Snape took two steps on the wet, misty deck, and felt near the railing on the side of the ship from memory.

You can hear the sound of the surrounding waves crashing against the hull, and the rhythm and power seem to be the same as the usual waves.

Then, it seems that it will not be the waves that have just moved the whole ship forward.

Ruling out an obvious wrong answer, Snape paused for a moment and continued on his way - he didn't have the magic sensing ability like Maca and the others, and it was obviously not easy to anticipate danger and find enemies in the fog after putting aside his vision.

Of course, what is more crucial at this time may be that he clearly does not know what the enemy is.

But then, I don't know if I should say "lucky" here. In short, while Snape was holding his wand and walking forward on the deck step by step, the huge shadow that the young wizards had seen in the porthole in the Transfiguration classroom suddenly appeared silently from the fog in the direction of the bow of the ship, and slowly "floated" from left to right in Snape's field of vision.

Yes, although it may seem strange to describe it in such a way due to its seemingly large size, it does resemble a "floating" gesture. It looks as huge as a mountain in the hazy mist, but when it moves, it is undisturbed and silent, and it even makes people wonder if they are dazzled by the living corpse and have some hallucinations.

At that moment, Snape stopped, his face unusually solemn. While waiting for the other party to disappear again in the fog, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly easily, as if he was afraid that his breath would attract the attention of the other party.

Because, that guy looks just too big—even bigger than the entire Change!

There is no doubt that the vastness of the ocean has many secrets for Muggles and wizards alike, and it seems that such a large space can breed huge creatures.

So right now, Snape wasn't sure if they had come across some unknown magical creature or natural phenomenon by chance, or if it was ...... Does this mean that Helmo has finally found them again?

"Foggy? Wait a minute...... Severus? ”

And just as Snape stopped on deck, pondering, McGonagall's voice came from the hatch, interrupting his thoughts.

"Severus, are you still on deck?"

"Yes," Snape smacked his tongue, then immediately said, "Professor McGonagall, don't be too loud, there's something in the fog around you—I just saw a very large shadow pass by." ”

I didn't know what Snape was talking about, or even how big the "very big" he meant was. But when McGonagall and the others, who had just come to the deck, heard this, they immediately shut up, and everyone became cautious.

Minerva...... It's weird, you know, I'm a little worried. Otherwise, why don't we go and activate the Change first, and we'll move away immediately, right? ”

Sprout couldn't help but suggest.
