Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

"Relax, calm down--" Amanta shouted, "Just like the time you caught Harry, I will catch you on the broom, believe me!"

"No -" Draco's voice broke, "I can't - relax - I'm going to fall!"

Buckbeak flapped his wings violently. The huge wings on both sides of his body brought the humid air of early autumn, and flew over the calm surface of Black Lake without stopping for a moment, causing "V"-shaped ripples on the lake surface.

Amanta had to adjust the height of her broom and fly higher to avoid the disturbing air currents.

Before long, she had flown to a roughly suitable position, flying at the same distance and speed as Buckbeak.

"Can I come up to this position?"

She was already flying above Draco.

"I...can't--!" Draco looked up and quickly shook his head with a pale face.

Amanta leaned forward and held out her arms, quickly realizing that there wasn't enough distance between her and Draco to pull him up.

"It's okay, I'll get closer--"

Amanta looked down and saw that the chain behind Buckbeak was dragging in the water, as if dividing the lake into two.

Fortunately, Buckbeak was flying lower and lower. She estimated the altitude and thought that even if she failed to catch Draco, there was still the buffer of the lake water below. In the worst case scenario - if Draco fell into the water, he would probably be fine. She was confident that she could pull Draco out of the Black Lake.

She kept her eyes on Buckbeak's body, trying to lower the broom without hitting it.

"now what?"

She tried to stretch her arms, and Draco turned sideways and stretched out his hand in her direction.

But the distance was still not enough - but it was almost there, only two palms' distance away.

If the broom was any lower, it would have touched Buckbeak's neck.

"Almost—" Draco gasped.

Amanta gritted her teeth, tilted the broom and Buckbeak to an angle, and leaned half of her body downwards -

Finally—she grabbed Draco's hand.

Those hands were cold and slippery, but they instantly made her feel safe and satisfied.

"Okay, use some strength--"

Amanta squeezed his hand with almost all her strength, and Draco did the same.

She didn't care about the pain of her finger bones being almost crushed, and tensed the muscles in her arms to try to get him onto the broom.

But the moment she grabbed Draco, Buckbeak suddenly shook violently.

The back covered with hard feathers hit the broom with a bang, and she immediately heard the broom handle make a cracking sound.

Amanta felt dizzy and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down in an instant.

She and Draco stumbled onto Buckbeak and slid down.

But soon she couldn't care about these anymore——

She only heard Draco's exclamation, and then - her vision was instantly enveloped by a thick, sky-blocking black.

Amanta subconsciously looked towards the place where there was light, and saw a sky full of black tentacles with bared fangs and claws, sweeping up everything.

Amanta, Draco, and Buckbeak were as small as a leaf in the sea waves in this storm. The dark and cold water of the Black Lake quickly submerged everything and swallowed up their last consciousness.
