HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 176 Asking for Details

Harry and the others followed Madam Pomfrey back to change into dry clothes, while Gloria and Draco returned to the castle first.

Although the students were able to watch the game, they could not see what was happening underwater, and they were curious and wanted to ask the warriors and the hostages.

On the way back, Gloria was wondering where Dobby, a house-elf, got the gillweed. This thing is not common.

Could it be... that Professor Snape's medicine room was robbed again?

Although everyone went to watch the second event, since the competition was held at the bottom of the lake, they had no idea what was happening underwater.

Back in the common room, everyone gathered around Gloria and Draco.

"Gloria, can you tell me how you found someone?"

"What does the bottom of the lake look like?"

Excitement drove them to forget their fear of Gloria and they gathered around her asking questions.

"Draco, how did you get to the bottom of the lake?"

As the warrior's treasure, the boy naturally became the subject of questioning.

He repeated what he had said earlier in the viewing platform, and the students were amazed. He slept unconsciously in the water for at least two hours, and was fine when he returned to the surface.

"So what happened to you, Gloria?"

Seeing the expectant and curious eyes of the group of people, Gloria tried her best to explain everything clearly. "First of all, the bottom of the water is very wide, and there are a lot of water plants blocking the view. The first thing we encountered was a group of Grindelwalds. They were not difficult to deal with. The main reason was that the place was too big and it took time to search. When we heard the mermaids' singing, we swam in the direction and found them. There is a village of mermaids at the bottom of the Black Lake. We passed that area and reached the square. Draco and the others were there."

"Then how did you defeat the merman?"

“No need to defeat them.” Gloria said, “They didn’t attack the warriors at all. I don’t know what happened afterwards. I didn’t see any other warriors when I swam to the surface.”

She made it sound simple, but everyone knew it was definitely not that simple. It was just that she was very strong, which made the competition seem easy.

Fleur of Beauxbatons was not a vase, but she was forced to return to the surface about half an hour into the competition. Krum and Potter also returned after exceeding the stipulated time.

Gloria leaned over to Draco and quietly tugged at his sleeve, the subtext being that your moment had come.

The boy understood, "The second game is over. Are you curious about the clue in the golden egg?"

"Of course I'm curious!"

"Draco, tell us now—"

Everyone was eager to know what information was hidden in the golden egg.

Draco had heard the song from the golden egg in the prefects' bathroom and remembered the lyrics clearly, and he could speak them out with great emotion.

After hearing this, the people around gathered together and chattered about it.

"So, Draco is Gloria's most reluctant baby." This sentence was particularly eye-catching among the discussions.

Draco's ears turned red, and he tried hard to maintain his noble posture. Gloria leaned on his shoulder and gently stroked his palm with her fingers, causing the boy's whole face to slowly turn a light red.

It is obvious at a glance that Harry and Fleur's baby is a relationship of friendship and family affection. Gloria, needless to say, is a recognized couple with Draco. Only Krum and Hermione are special.

"Krum really likes Hermione?"

"who knows……"

At this time, a senior student suggested, "Gloria won the first place without any controversy, let's take out the things we prepared in advance to celebrate!"

Out of trust in her abilities, the Slytherin students had already regarded the first place in the three events and the Triwizard Tournament's championship cup as their own, and prepared all kinds of items needed for celebration the day before the competition.

Everyone returned to the dormitory and took out the things they had bought, including food and toys.

Draco immediately turned sideways and hugged Gloria, "Did you know I would be put at the bottom of the lake?"

She nodded slightly, "Yes, you finally realized it."

"Of course I can detect it." Draco lifted the collar of his school robe, revealing the silver-gray clothes he was wearing underneath. "This suit has a water-proof function. When I got ashore, I found that my body was not soaked, so I guessed it."

Gloria said: "This is made of the hair of the ocean mermaids, which is naturally water-resistant."

"They are very secretive and rarely show up. We didn't even know about the freshwater mermaids in the Black Lake a few years ago."

The Slytherin dormitory is at the bottom of the Black Lake, but the mermaids have never been seen.

"Enough benefits will make them willing to exchange." Gloria, who was concentrating on playing with his robe, saw that he was slow to speak. She looked up and found that the boy was staring at her with burning eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I've never seen you as a mermaid. You must be very beautiful." Draco heard Harry talk about this in the stands and felt a little jealous.

Gloria tilted her head to look at him, "During the summer vacation, we will go to the lake near the manor to play, and then we will become mermaids."

Draco finally hugged her contentedly, looking forward to the arrival of summer vacation.

After entering March, the weather was no longer so damp and cold, and the refreshing breeze passed through every corridor of Hogwarts.

The game at Black Lake still affects the students. Since no one knows what happened, they always ask those who were at the bottom of the lake at that time, such as the warriors and the hostages.

The two warriors from other schools were hard to find, as they often stayed in their own carriages and boats.

Gloria and Draco were both Slytherin students. They were difficult to approach and there was no desire to ask them questions, so everyone's attention finally turned to Gryffindor Harry and the others.

Harry was fed up with the excessive attention. Hermione had been criticized these days because of Krum, and finally Ron took the blame.

He patiently recounted the experience of being called into Professor McGonagall's office, and then repeated what Harry had told him to the other students, and that's how Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff learned about what happened at the bottom of the lake.

This school year I only have Potions class with Gryffindor, and today's class is two classes in a row.

Slytherin's Transfiguration class had just finished. Gloria went downstairs and saw several girls from the same college pointing at Hermione and whispering. Recently, many people joked that Hermione was Krum's baby, and some even said that they were in love.

The door of the classroom opened, and Professor Snape glanced at the students gloomily, "Come in."

Draco still remembered the power of Seamus and Neville, and although they were not together, he still chose the seat farthest away from them, near the door and the table on the podium.

"The potion we are learning today is a brain-enhancing potion. Taking it will make your thinking clearer—" Professor Snape's cold eyes fell on Harry who was at the back. "Of course, I hope it can increase the pitiful IQ of some people."

The Slytherin students subconsciously looked at the Gryffindor next door with contemptuous smiles on their faces.

Snape turned and wrote the potion formula on the blackboard.

Ron took advantage of this opportunity and immediately asked Hermione, "Are you really dating that Krum?" He had heard a lot of gossip about the two of them.

Hermione just rolled her eyes at him, and Harry kept an eye on Professor Snape's movements while paying attention to the conversation around him.

"Why don't you answer? Is it true..." Ron's face became increasingly ugly.

"You believe it?" Hermione couldn't stand it any longer. "We didn't date. He just invited me to visit Bulgaria during the summer vacation."
