"Crunch—"
Accompanied by a groaning sound that would only be made when the wooden planks were bent, the Transformation tilted a little, which caused unfixed things placed everywhere on the ship to move or even fall over.
Obviously, it was definitely not just the little wizards in the classroom who noticed this leaning forward.
"Crack."
At that moment, Snape, who was walking quickly down the aisle, reacted quickly and squatted down slightly, reaching out to support himself on the floor, thus preventing himself from falling to the ground like the unlucky Alexander.
When the angle of the ship returned to normal, he turned his head and saw that Professor McGonagall, who was following behind, had just caught the curtain hanging on the wall on one side of the aisle in time and was trying to regain his position. Stand up straight.
"Severus." McGonagall said towards Snape, "Don't go back, I think we should go directly to the deck! Call Filius and Pomona along as well. "
"Um."
Snape, who originally just wanted to discuss it with McGonagall, couldn't help but nodded, and immediately turned around and strode back.
"Sure enough, something is wrong... Durmstrang's Transformation should theoretically be able to resist the pull of the deep-sea vortex," he said as he walked. "What force would cause it to suddenly tilt at such a large scale?" ?”
Because this aisle is located in the center line of the ship, the outside scene cannot be directly seen through the portholes, which makes Snape even more worried.
"Professor McGonagall, I'm going to go back to the deck to take a look first. You go and call Flitwick and Sprout as soon as possible... Leave the students to other professors for now!"
When passing by Mag, he said this, and then added:
"I can feel from just now that there is a will that is paying attention to me... No, maybe it is paying attention to the whole ship! Remember to be careful, although I don't know what it is specifically, but I feel sure Unusual."
Before he finished speaking, he had already moved away from Mag and headed towards the stairs to the deck.
…
To be honest, given Snape's character, if this incident had happened somewhere other than this ship, he would definitely not have been as active as he was now. Even if he encountered such a situation on the ship, if it weren't for Tia, he might just walk away depending on the situation.
Now, however, he, Severus Snape, was no longer alone as he once was. He has changed a lot since he has a younger sister. Although he never mentions it, he seems to have gradually become accustomed to caring about Tia's thoughts in everything.
Just like now, once such an accident with hidden danger occurs, he knows that Tia will never put her own interests as the highest priority like him - no, they just walked off the deck together After coming down, Tia took the initiative to run to the student dormitory area to check on the little wizards in the blink of an eye!
For this reason, at least Snape felt that he had no more choice.
Instead of hesitating whether he should just wait and see what happens, he quickly decided that in the end he would be more proactive!
"Tsk, that little girl probably won't leave anyway... It's really troublesome!"
While muttering like this, he climbed up the stairs again, opened the hatch and returned to the deck outside. The moment he opened the door, he discovered that the fog outside seemed to have completely enveloped the sea area.
This terrible sense of déjà vu immediately made Snape frown more and more tightly.
"boom!"
Closing the hatch tightly behind him, Snape took two steps on the deck filled with wet mist and touched the railing of the ship's side based on his memory.
You can still hear the sound of the surrounding waves lapping against the hull, and the rhythm and power seem to be no different from the usual waves.
Then, it seems that what just caused the whole ship to tilt forward was certainly not the wave.
Eliminating an obvious wrong answer, Snape paused briefly before continuing to walk forward - he did not have the magic sensing ability like Maka and others. After throwing away his vision, he wanted to predict in the fog. Judging danger and finding enemies is obviously not an easy task.
Of course, perhaps the more critical thing at this time is that he obviously doesn't know what the enemy is at all.
But then, I don’t know if I should say “fortunately” here. In short, while Snape was holding his wand tightly and walking forward step by step on the deck, the huge shadow that the young wizards in the Transfiguration classroom had seen in the porthole suddenly appeared silently from the fog in the direction of the bow. Emerged, slowly "floating" from left to right in Snape's field of vision.
Yes, although it seems a bit strange to describe it like this due to its seemingly huge size, it does seem to be passing in a "floating" posture. Although it looks as huge as a mountain in the hazy fog, it moves calmly and quietly, making people even wonder if they are hallucinating because of the living corpse.
At that moment, Snape stopped, his expression extremely solemn. While waiting for the other person to disappear in the mist again, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, as if he was afraid that his breath would attract the other person's attention.
Because that guy looks really big - even bigger than the entire Change!
There is no doubt that the vast ocean still holds many secrets for Muggles and wizards, and it does not seem so surprising that such a large space breeds huge creatures.
So at the moment, Snape is still not sure whether they accidentally encountered some unknown magical creature or natural phenomenon, or... does this actually mean that that guy Haierbo has finally found them again
"It's foggy? Wait... Severus?"
And when Snape stopped on the deck and thought carefully, McGonagall's voice suddenly came from the hatch, interrupting his thoughts.
"Severus, are you still on deck?"
"Yes," Snape clicked his tongue, and then immediately said, "Professor McGonagall, don't be too loud. There is something in the fog around me - I just saw a very huge shadow passing by."
Although I don't know what Snape is talking about, I don't even know how big the "very huge" he refers to is. But after Mag and others who had just come onto the deck heard it, they immediately shut up and everyone became cautious.
"Minerva... this fog is very strange, you know, I'm a little worried. Otherwise, why not just activate the Change first, and let's move away immediately?"
Sprout couldn't help but suggested.
