Following the Hulk's final furious punch, the ice field under Drac and the others also shattered.
Everyone hurriedly supported the nearest person, and at the same time, they were shocked to find that there was a lake under the ice field.
Moreover, the lake water was shaking unnaturally.
"No... It's not like this..." Drac cast a few spells, but the lake still broke through the ice field with a low roar.
Everyone was pushed onto the broken ice floe by a huge force.
Seeing that Drac was still unwilling,
Ron hurriedly followed the annoying Slytherin. "Don't! You'll run out of magic. " For a first-year student, Drac had used too much magic in this fight.
Although the pale skin of the Malfoy family hid his weakness,
Ron could still see that Drac's condition was not very good.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Drac sat on the ice floe and looked coldly at Ron.
Ron was stunned for a moment, then said, "We'll sink!"
"What?" Not far away, the Pansy heard the conversation between the two.
He shouted in disbelief.
"Think about it.
There's no road in our sight, and the place we're going next is a lake. "
It's a lake! "Ron shouted to his companions on the ice floe.
Indeed, they had not been distracted just now.
After Ron pointed it out, everyone noticed that within their sight,
Except for the broken ice lake, there was no white fog.
It was a boundless white fog. Even the path they had taken to get here had disappeared.
Drac's heart sank. "Potter and the others..."
Ron also thought of his companions who stayed behind. The ginger haired boy's face changed, and he almost exclaimed, but Drac stopped him with a look — now was not the time to panic.
"Everyone," Drac put her wand back into her inner pocket, and tried to ask in a calm voice, "Can you all swim?"
The situation was not very good, only half of them could swim. Drac's expression did not change. "One by one. Take a deep breath first."
Ron brought along a Hufflepuff boy, and the rest of the people formed their own teams. In the end, Drac was left alone, but he knew how to dive. After everyone was ready, they took a deep breath and dove under the floating ice.
The water was not as cold as they had imagined, but the current was moving at an unusually fast speed. They were almost being pushed by the water. Drac swam with the team while looking at the changing underwater scenery in surprise. Before he could react, a large pile of water plants rolled over, and everyone quickly surfaced.
The scenery on the water also changed. Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the curved bridge and duckweed in front of them.
The girls swam to the shore first. Pansy, who was brought along by Padma, did not know how to swim. He choked in the water and was now vomiting on the shore. The others were not in good condition either. They went ashore and cast spells to clean themselves up.
Ron fiercely twisted the robe and wrung out a large amount of water. The winter robe that had absorbed enough water was not ordinary heavy on his body. Ron simply took off the robe and twisted it until it was half dry before putting it on.
Drac sat on a rock by the lake, looked at Ron's wrinkled robe, and sneered.
Ron did not look back. "Just wait to catch a cold."
Drac laughed even more happily, then took out her wand and cast a Quick Drying Spell on herself.
Ron: = _ = Okay, you know a lot of spells, and you're even more awesome.
While everyone was recovering, Drac took out the map hidden in the inner pocket of her robe. Although the map was a little wrinkled, it was not smeared. Judging from the surrounding scenery, they had indeed walked to the lake, and this lake … The curved bridge, the weeping willows, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the duckweed on the surface of the lake, and the koi fish in the lake — no doubt, it was autumn!
"Malfoy, look here!" Ron pointed at a place on the map in surprise.
Drac turned to look. Ron was pointing at the place where they had entered the maze. There should have been a black dot marking a lawn, but now it was a black square!
"They're not in danger, are they?" Hufflepuff, Ernie, said the same thing in everyone's mind. Then, a dark cloud passed over everyone's face. Those who were left behind did not have much fighting power.
Just as everyone was in a daze, a large splash of water suddenly appeared in the lake. The exhausted little wizards instantly pointed their wands at the lake together, and then saw … a few heads?
"Harry!" Ron was the first to shout, then rushed over and pulled Harry out. "Harry, Neville … Oh, and Lavender, what happened to you?"
"Oh, what's that smell?" Pansy wrinkled his nose.
Harry, who was still covered in the "snail's" saliva, touched himself, then stretched out a hand covered in black mud. "Ron … I...
need
Comfort … "
After pulling out the companions who looked like they had rolled in sesame paste and cleaned them up one by one, everyone began to ask what had happened.
Neville was the narrator. "… We heard the sound of an explosion. (Harry added: It was that big snail that exploded because I was angry!) Then the whole tunnel collapsed, and we didn't know anything. A flood rushed out from the depths of the tunnel … and then we were washed here. "
"So … you're covered in the mucus of the snail? Ugh … "Padma took two steps back in disbelief, and the girls had the same reaction.
"Hey!" Ron was dissatisfied.
"What about you guys? Why do you guys not look so good? "Harry pointed at Drac." Even Drac's swept-back hair is messed up. "
No matter how strong the hair oil and Morse were, they could not withstand the impact of the fight with the Hulk and the micro ocean current. Drac also briefly explained what had happened here, and then cast a "Time Manifestation" in the air, showing that they had less than 50 minutes left.
"There's not much time left, let's go."
Although everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, no one objected to Drac's suggestion. After taking a short breath, they stood up with each other's help.
"Harry?" Ron just realized that Harry was injured.
Harry was the closest to the explosion. Not only was his robe blown into rags, but in addition to the abrasions on his face, his legs were also badly injured by the flying gravel. Ron saw that his walking posture was wrong and found that Harry's legs were still bleeding.
"Oh?" Harry was a little surprised. "I didn't notice." Harry tore off a piece of his robe, casually bandaged it, and stood up. "It's okay, let's go."
Since Harry said so, the others did not argue. After all, they could all get treatment after they got out of the maze.
"This lake seems to be a place for us to rest." Pansy looked around the calm lake and the gently swaying weeping willows. The koi fish had also recovered from the two waves and were sneaking under the duckweed.
No matter how he looked at it, there was no sign of the big snail or the Hulk.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then walked on the curved bridge.
"This is … Qiu Zhang's dream?" Harry finally realized what was going on, and then stopped in his tracks, slightly puzzled.
The few people behind him also stopped. "What's wrong?"
Harry touched his nose and seemed to be puzzled. "But, the dream of a Dream-Builder shouldn't be so simple." They did not join the plan to create a scenery.
"Our dreams should have been dismantled and reorganized by the professor." Drac could now be honest. "In the dream of the 'snow storm', we should have met the snow monster, but they put a Hulk there."
Harry was still a little puzzled, but he did not say anything. He just looked up at the sky and blinked. "It's raining."
The first thing that felt the rain was Harry's glasses, and then the smooth surface of the lake. The sun was still shining brightly, but the fine rain soon arrived. However, the little wizards were already soaked, and they did not react much to the rain.
Only one of the Ravenclaw girls was a little surprised. "Sun rain?"
The team continued to move forward and soon crossed the curved bridge. Only Harry was still a little uneasy. Ron, who was walking beside him, could not help but help him. "Harry, does the wound hurt?"
"Uh... huh? It doesn't hurt. " For some reason, Harry's attention was all on the sudden sun rain. Some strange feeling kept circling around Harry, but he still did not know what was wrong.
Drac was the first to notice that something was wrong. "No, we can't get out."
"What?" Everyone was surprised.
Drac took out her wand and pointed to the wall of vines that should be the exit. "Araho, open!"
The vines did not move.
Lavender, who had been nervous since the encounter with the giant snail, shouted. "Try using other spells? Or use fire? "
"That's not the problem." Drac's tone was surprisingly calm. She withdrew her wand and stretched out a hand to push the vines. Then, under everyone's gaze, Drac's hand passed through the vines.
It was like passing through a Phantom.
Drac withdrew her hand. "This is not a resting place. This is a dream that Ravenclaw set up for us."
The crowd was in an uproar. Some of them were eager to charge through the fake vines, some of them held him back, some of them sat down on the ground, and some of them stared at Derek, who was still relatively calm.
In fact, Drac's face was pale. Her brain, which had been soaked in the lake water, was full of messy negative emotions, but now was not the time to vent...
It was Harry who suddenly raised his voice. "Don't!
panic！”
Everyone looked at the skinny boy. Harry's face did not have much of an expression. He just limped to the lakeside rock and sat down. Then, he calmly asked, "How many of us entered the maze?"
"Thirteen." Ron was the first to answer. This number was really unlucky.
Harry was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Ron. "Count again."
Ron froze for a moment, then looked at his companions.
Was it the messy drizzle that disturbed their vision? Or was it the messy emotions that affected their rationality? Not only Ron, but everyone began to count under Harry's influence. The more they counted, the more frightened they became.
Ron repeatedly counted a few times and turned to look at Harry. There was a fine drizzle between the child and Ron, but both of them could read the fear on each other's faces.
"Fourteen. Am I right? " Harry's voice was very soft, but it covered the sound of the rain and reached everyone's ears. "Now there are fourteen people here." He looked at the faces, and each of them seemed familiar. "There's one more person among us."
