Chapter 28: Monster in the Black Lake

"In other words, we are following the footsteps of those great sages?"

"Wow, my god, that's so cool!"

The excited little wizards chattered endlessly, breaking the fear brought by the darkness.

Hermione raised her head proudly and blinked at Chu Yang, showing off herself in a low-key way.

In order to make her settle down, Chu Yang prepared to praise her, but didn't expect an untimely voice to sound suddenly.

"Look! That little Muggle from a Muggle family is popularizing the history of Hogwarts to a real wizard?!"

"It's really ridiculous!"

A small boat floated from the side, with three boys sitting on it, the boys on the left and right were tall, much stronger than Neville.

A blond boy sat in the middle, looking quite good-looking, but his eyes were gloomy, and he looked unkind.

The blond boy said in a low voice: "You mudbloods from humble Muggle families are not worthy of talking about those four great wizards, especially the great Salazar Slytherin."

"None of your business!" Hermione was trembling with anger. After stepping into the magic world, the thing she hated most was others saying her parents were Muggles.

"How can you say such vicious words?"

The wooden and timid Neville acted contrary to his usual behavior, angrily accusing the blond boy.

"What does mudblood mean?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling that this was a bad word.

Neville hesitated for a moment, whispered a few words in Hermione's ear, and then Hermione's face changed drastically, and her eyes turned red.

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the blond boy. The only person among the freshmen who could say such vicious words was obviously one, Draco Malfoy!

Ordinary little wizards might not know the freshman information of Hogwarts at all, but Draco Malfoy is different.

His family is a famous family in the history of Hogwarts, and his father, Lucius Malfoy, is one of the school directors of Hogwarts. It is the usual method of the Malfoy family to get the freshman list in advance and try to make friends and win over the famous wizard families on the list.

When Lucius Malfoy saw that there were two freshmen from Muggle families on the list, he lost his temper at Draco Malfoy.

Everyone in the Malfoy family graduated from Slytherin House at Hogwarts and admired the bloodline theory of the founder Salazar Slytherin.

They all believe that only pure-blood wizards are qualified to learn and use magic.

Regarding this, Chu Yang felt it was very funny.

According to their ideas, the first wizard in the world to discover and use magic was not qualified to use magic at all.

Because his parents were both Muggles...

Without the first batch of Muggle-born wizards to open up the path of magic, communicate and combine with each other, where did the wizard families come from? This is completely different from the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Muggle-born wizards and pure-blood families must be the former first.

Malfoy, who was strongly retorted by Hermione, couldn't hold back his anger and began to say some vicious words to curse the other party.

"Is this the etiquette of pure-blood wizards? Insulting others with unbearable language when they disagree?" Chu Yang sneered: "I only saw similar behavior in the idlers on the streets of London. Your family education is really worrying."

Draco Malfoy suddenly flushed and stood up and roared: "I only speak etiquette to wizards, you bunch of humble..."

Before Malfoy finished speaking, the boat shook violently, and he almost fell off the boat. Fortunately, Goyle beside him pulled him in time.

At this time, the tangled trees were constantly breaking through the ground from the bottom of the lake.

Under the moonlight, the branches emerging from the lake surface were tangling Malfoy's boat little by little, making the boat move slower and slower, gradually stopping on the lake surface, and then shaking violently.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Isn't it said that this lake is completely safe?" Malfoy grabbed the side of the boat and shouted hysterically, scared out of his wits. The range of tree entanglement was getting wider and wider, and in the blink of an eye, the three people on the boat lost their footing.

Hagrid at the front finally discovered the anomaly behind him and shouted, "My god, what is that monster?"

The pitch-black lake surface was very hazy under the moonlight.

The tree branches and vines on the boat looked more like the tentacles of some monster to Hagrid, constantly shaking the boat, trying to throw Malfoy and the three into the water.

"Damn it, what to do? I didn't bring my wand!" Hagrid was a little panicked. He didn't bring the "broken umbrella" shaped wand when he went out today. After all, it was just picking up students, so there was no need at all.

But now the emergency happened in front of him, but he had no way at all.

Just when Hagrid was still regretting that he didn't bring his wand, Malfoy and the three on the other side finally couldn't hold on and fell into the water like dumplings.

Glug~ glug~ glug~ Malfoy desperately wanted to grab the boat, but was entangled by the tree branches in the lake and dragged down fiercely.

Gurgle~ gurgle~ gurgle~ Malfoy was like tripe in a hot pot, "up and down" in the water. Every time he wanted to call for help, the lake water would pour into his mouth.

Compared to Malfoy, his two little partners Goyle and Crabbe were much better. Although they also fell into the lake, they soon climbed back onto the boat.

Strangely, after Malfoy fell down, the boat didn't shake anymore.

Except for being soaked all over, they didn't suffer any harm.

Goyle and Crabbe had a thought at the same time—the "monster" in the lake seemed to be aimed at Malfoy alone!

Thinking of this, Goyle and Crabbe looked at Chu Yang and Hermione who had just had a conflict with Malfoy at the same time.

As a result, they just met Chu Yang's cold gaze.

Both of them were startled at the same time, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look a second time.

Malfoy, who was afraid of being eaten by the "monster" in the lake, immediately cried and shouted: "Save me, come and save me quickly, I don't want to be eaten by the monster, it doesn't matter who comes to save me."

"Goyle! Crabbe!"

Desperate Malfoy called the names of his companions.

Goyle subconsciously leaned towards Malfoy, bent down and stuck to the side of the boat, preparing to pull him back onto the boat.

As a result, the boat shook violently again, Goyle screamed, and fell into the lake again! Crabbe on the side was so scared that he hurriedly stayed away from Malfoy, and only escaped disaster by pretending to be irrelevant.

He had already determined that the "monster" was targeting Malfoy.

After Goyle climbed onto the boat for the second time, he, who had suffered a loss, also began to learn from Crabbe, pretending not to hear Malfoy's call for help.

Poor Malfoy was almost full of water...

When Hermione saw Malfoy fall into the water at first, she felt very comfortable, as if all the evil spirits in her heart had been spit out.

However, over time, she also began to worry that the other party would be in danger. After all, she was just an 11-year-old girl, simple and kind.

Hermione asked anxiously: "Why don't his companions save him? They are both so strong, anyone can pull him onto the boat."

Chu Yang glanced at her quite unexpectedly, "He cursed so badly just now, and you are still worried about him? You are not angry after just a while?"

"Of course I'm angry!" Hermione said as a matter of course: "But I don't want to resent a dead person. Only if he is alive can I find a chance to take revenge on him!"

Chu Yang wiped the cold sweat on his head. The old saying is absolutely right. The more beautiful the girl, the more vengeful she is. Don't provoke her easily.
