"Crunch——"

Accompanied by a groaning sound that would only be made when the wooden planks are being bent, the Transformation tilted a little, which caused unfixed objects placed everywhere on the ship to move or even fall over.

Obviously, it was 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 get himself back together.

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 Change, in theory, should be able to resist the pull of the deep-sea vortex," he said as he walked, "What kind of force would cause it to suddenly happen at such a large scale?"

tilt?"

Because this aisle is located in the centerline 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

It’s definitely not ordinary.”

Before he finished speaking, he had already moved away from Mag and headed towards the stairs to the deck.

…

To be honest, with Snape's character, if this incident had happened somewhere other than this ship, he would definitely not have acted as actively as he did 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.

However, nowadays, Severus Snape is no longer as alone as he once was. With the addition of a sister, he has changed a lot. Although he will never mention it, he seems to have

Gradually I got used to caring more about Tia's thoughts in everything.

Just like now, once such an accident with a hidden crisis occurs, he knows that Tia will never put her own interests as the highest priority like him - no, the two of them just worked together from

She came down from the deck, but in the blink of an eye, Tia took the initiative to run to the student dormitory area to check on the little wizards!

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.

stand up.

This terrible sense of déjà vu immediately made Snape frown more and more tightly.

"boom!"

After 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 walk in the fog.

Predicting danger and finding enemies is obviously not an easy task.

Of course, what is more critical at this time may be that he obviously does not know what the enemy is at all.

But then, I don't know if I should say "fortunately" here. In short, while Snape held the wand tightly and walked forward step by step on the deck, the little wizards in the Transfiguration classroom were talking.

The huge shadow seen in the porthole suddenly emerged silently from the fog in the direction of the ship's bow, and slowly "floated" from left to right in Snape's field of vision.

Yes, although with its seemingly huge size, it is a bit strange to describe it like this, but it is indeed similar to a "floating" posture. It clearly looks as huge as a mountain in the hazy fog, and it moves.

But it was so calm and quiet that it even made people wonder whether they were dazzled by the living corpse and had some hallucination.

At that moment, Snape stopped, his face extremely solemn. While waiting for the other person to disappear in the mist again, he did not 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... this actually means that that guy Haierbo has finally found them again.

?

"Foggy? Wait...Severus?"

And when Snape stopped on the deck and thought carefully, McGonagall's voice suddenly came from the cabin door, 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 they didn't know what Snape was talking about, or even how big the "very huge" he mentioned was. However, McGonagall and others who had just come on the deck immediately shut up after hearing this.

, 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 suggest this.
