Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"Blake!"

Harry screamed and tried to help him.

"no, do not want……"

Blake frowned and groaned.

"Stop...stop..."

"Don't...no..."

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Blake suddenly burst into tears. He curled up into a ball and burst into tears. "I'm a fool! I'm a bastard! It's all my fault! No! Please - don't - —”

"Don't hurt them, please! Don't hurt them!"

"Kill me! You can do whatever you want! Kill me!"

Harry didn't know what Black was talking about, but looking at him crying and angry at times, it was obviously not normal behavior.

"Blake! Wake up! Blake!"

"don't want--"

Blake suddenly shouted, lying on his back, mouth open, motionless.

"Blake?"

Harry shivered and knelt beside Black, calling softly.

He didn't even dare to reach out and touch Blake.

It was quiet inside the cave, and there seemed to be water seeping down in the distance, making a ticking sound.

Harry felt a huge sense of suffocation that was about to engulf him, and boundless fear continued to spread.

"water--"

Just when Harry was desperate, Black suddenly shouted hoarsely.

"Water! Okay!"

Harry was overjoyed, and he quickly grabbed the wand. Just when he was about to use "Clear Water Like a Spring", Black suddenly stood up on the ground.

He grabbed his wand.

"Bones in pieces"

A crushing spell shot out, and Harry heard a muffled explosion behind him, and then something seemed to fly out and land on his back.

The thing was sticky, and he could even feel it sliding down his back.

But Harry couldn't care less about exploring what was behind it.

In front of him, big white guys emerged from the lake. They climbed up the rocky island from all directions.

This time he finally saw clearly what it was.

They looked like corpses soaked in water, with swollen skin and a pale surface.

They were on all fours, but their speed was not slow. In just a short time, more than a dozen of them climbed onto the island.

The encirclement is shrinking rapidly.

"This is the Inferi!"

Blake fought off two more Inferi and took the time to shout.

"Go get the things in the stone basin, we have to leave quickly!"

Black shouted, suddenly raising his wand.

A streak of orange-red flame flew out from the tip of the wand, and the flame spread quickly, surrounding him, Harry, and the stone basin.

The Inferi outside seemed to be very afraid of the flames. They crowded into a group, pushing each other, and kept retreating, trying to stay away from the flames.

But they didn't just leave.

Just keep a distance from the flames and stay away from the outside.

Harry reached into the stone basin and felt a hard object being grasped tightly in his hand. He didn't bother to explore what it was, he just put the object into his pocket, then quickly picked up the Nimbus 2000 beside him and rode on it. .

"Come up!"

Harry flew into the sky, circled in the air, and swooped down.He held out one hand.

Blake reached out and took hold.

Harry immediately adjusted his flight altitude.

Black was held by Harry with one hand and lost control of the spell, and the surrounding flames immediately went out.The Inferi hovering outside swarmed up.

At the critical moment, Harry suddenly raised the flying height, and the Inferi stretched out their palms one after another, barely having time to brush against the soles of Black's feet.

"Whoops—"

The salty and wet wind blew against his face, and Blake couldn't help but let out a strange scream due to the tense and exciting feeling. He looked like he was enjoying it.

The two flew away from the island and towards the archway from which they came.

As they passed the lake, white corpses jumped out of the lake. They were so densely packed that they almost filled the entire lake.

Harry held Black tightly with one hand and held the handle of the broom with the other. The feeling of controlling a broomstick with one hand frightened him.He had to concentrate on controlling the flight. If he wasn't careful, they might plunge into the lake.

Black hung below, holding the wand with his injured hand, and fired out spells, knocking down the Inferi that jumped out of the lake one after another. At the same time, his body was still twisting flexibly to avoid the Inferi.

On several occasions, the hand of the Inferi was less than three centimeters away from him.

But this thrill did not scare him, but instead made him more excited.

"Hahaha~"

Blake laughed like a madman, bit by bit with his injured arm. Every time he clicked, an inferi jumped out and was shot down. It looked like he was playing a game of whack-a-mole.

Finally, as the two moved away from the center of the lake, the number of Inferi gradually decreased.

When the last Inferi was kicked back into the lake by Blake, no more Inferi jumped out.

Black was hanging under the broomstick, with an excited expression on his face, and seemed to be a little unfinished.

"Well done! James!"

Harry, who was controlling the broomstick, stiffened and they almost lost control and fell into the lake.

"Fly higher! Hurry up! James!"

Blake didn't seem to notice that the wrong name was called. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the reduction in speed and shouted loudly.

"Did you see what I just did, James! I'm-"

Blake's excited voice suddenly stopped.

Harry could clearly feel the hand holding Blake's. Just now, Blake's whole body suddenly became stiff and tense.

Blake also realized...

Harry thought.

The atmosphere became silent.Blake, who had just shouted with joy, never spoke a word again.

Harry flew quietly, and now that there was no inferi to interfere, they could fly slower.

But it was not as big as they thought, and soon, the arch appeared in front of them.

Harry controlled the broomstick to land, and Blake landed on the ground. Without looking at Harry, he walked directly through the arch and returned to the cave where they were staying.

"Give."

Harry followed behind and handed him the broomstick and the contents of the stone basin.

In the cave, with the faint light, Harry could see clearly that it was an ancient locket.

Blake lowered his head, took the broomstick, stuffed it into the bag, then sat down slowly while holding the locket.

"Harry, I'm sorry."

Blake looked up and said.

Harry was stunned, not understanding why Black was apologizing.

Just now, after blurting out the words "Good job! James!", Blake realized that something was wrong, but the potion of green stuff had not yet worn off its effects, so he did not react for a moment.

In fact, even Black himself didn't know why he apologized.

He is messed up now.

The experience the green liquid brought to him made him very irritated, and at the same time he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Such good flying skills, he clearly remembers...
