Chapter 143 Hot spring bath
Chapter 143 Hot spring bath
Alaia was frightened and panicked the moment she saw James. The scene had already appeared in her mind. James put his hands on his hips and questioned her, "Peter, it's not enough for you to have us. You even want to mix with the evil Slytherin!"
If that was the case, her ears would be ringing again, so she waved her hand guiltily and asked little Barty to hide quickly. Fortunately, the mist of the hot spring made James' glasses unclear, but he could only recognize Peter's figure accurately.
Barty spread his hands in amusement, asking why he had to hide. But seeing Peter's anxious expression, he liked it. Alayya couldn't help but glare at him. Barty couldn't resist Peter's "coquettishness" after all, and sank to the bottom of the water with a wicked smile.
Alayya didn't know whether little Barty would be so kind to cooperate with her. The most urgent thing was to leave here as soon as possible. At this time, she hated her Animagus a little bit. Why wasn't it a bird? So that she could fly over.
"I came to find you when I came back, as evidenced by the portraits on the wall. You came to find me?!" Alayya squatted under the sculpture, looking at the pool of water and wondering how deep it was.
Of course, James didn't think too much about it, as long as Peter returned safely. But after running around for a whole day, he certainly wanted to swim in the hot spring. So before Alaia entered the water, James had already taken off his shirt and was only wearing white briefs. He was even bolder than little Barty.
"You, what are you doing!" Seeing James taking off his clothes, Alaia panicked even more. Would he still want to hold her back? "Where's Sirius? Let's go find him!" The nasty little Barty was still playing tricks in the water and grabbed her ankles and tickled her soles. "Ah~"
James dived into the hot spring, and when he emerged, he shook his messy hair. "He'll be here in a while. We agreed that if I don't go back to find him, it means I've found you. Let's meet in the dormitory."
James swam towards Peter as he spoke. Hee hee, since Sirius was not around, he was the only one swimming with Peter to develop a bond with him. Hahahaha.
James, in a good mood, automatically ignored the rejection in Peter's words, and just wanted to get to his side as soon as possible to see if he was bullied by the Dark Lord. Because it was inconvenient to wear glasses when swimming, he had not discovered the existence of little Barty so far.
Seeing James's agile figure swimming closer and closer, Alayya became even more flustered. She kicked the water hard and finally shook off Barty's hand, but she also kicked Barty's muscles and almost sprained her toe. Why does he have so many muscles? !
"Don't worry, I'll be there now! Don't try to hide, Peter. You must explain clearly today why that guy took you away alone and what did you talk about?" James swam faster, worried that Peter would get impatient waiting for him, or that he would run away again.
James' words made little Barty, who wanted to get away with it, change his mind. It seemed that something had happened that he didn't know about, so he really had to find out about it.
So little Batty swam to the shadow behind the statue and hid there, not planning to leave.
Alaia could see him from the water, but James couldn't, because little Barty would circle and hide behind him according to his position, unless there was one more person who could easily spot him from the shore.
"It's nothing, just about studying, and whether we are forced to work." Alaiya's brain was working so fast that it was about to spark. There were too many things in her mind, and she was dragged into it by James before she paid attention.
James rode on Alaiya's waist with his legs tightly wrapped around her, pretending to strangle Peter's neck to scare him, "You didn't tell anyone... Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle..."
Before James could finish his threat, he sank with Peter. Why is Peter's swimming skill still so bad?
Helplessly, James quickly let go of Peter, grabbed his collar, brought him to the surface, and pushed him onto the base of the sculpture.
Alaiya clung to the edge and climbed up with great effort, secretly cursing James a thousand times, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"You are too weak, Peter! You need to strengthen your training! Quidditch training will be put on hold from now on, and you need to practice swimming!" James has already thought of a new training method for Peter.
But now, facing Peter, who was wet and in a mess with his butt sticking up, it was hard for James to harden his heart to throw him into the pool to practice.
"Okay, now you become an Animagus and I will send you back!" James' suggestion made Alaia come alive. It was really a good idea at this moment. Thinking that the guy Barty Crouch also knew her background, she didn't care and transformed.
James was still shivering as he looked at the poor little fellow whose fur had become wet. Infinite pity welled up in his heart. He held the little hamster in his hands and couldn't help but rub it against his mouth. As a result, he was scratched several times by the little hamster's claws. "Squeak! (Don't act like a spoiled child!)"
Seeing that the little hamster was angry, James restrained himself and gave up the idea of swimming back with the hamster in his mouth. He had to put Peter on his head, and with another graceful stroke, they returned to the shore.
Alaia tried to hook James's curly hair with her claws to keep her balance, and it really worked. But she was still worried that the guy would be plucked bald by her claws accidentally.
Of course, Barty Crouch Jr. was not so kind as to let them go. He actually took away James' clothes when he was trying to keep his head balanced while swimming.
That is to say, when James climbed up dripping wet, his white underwear stuck tightly to his body. The white pants were soaked in water and were as thin as a feather.
Alaia didn't dare to look down. Is this something she can see without paying? James picked up the hamster and wiped his cheek without caring about his exposure. He started looking for his clothes nearby. "That's weird. I just remember taking them off around here?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak (Can't you dry yourself first?)" Alayya closed her hamster eyes speechlessly, out of sight, out of mind, and waited for Sirius to appear.
Sirius, who was originally anxious, calmed down after seeing that his brothers were intact, and naturally snatched the hamster from James's hand "You're almost out of tune Peter!"
He held the hamster in one hand and started to unbutton his clothes with the other. Since it was a group activity, he had to participate...
"Why are you taking off your clothes?! Didn't you see that my clothes are gone?" James pushed Sirius, complaining that he didn't help.
"I have to put it on for you, what are you afraid of?" Sirius didn't care at all. He just wanted to take a nice bath and then "interrogate" Peter properly.
Who knew that Peter had already fallen asleep pretending to be dead at this time, because Sirius was so excited that he forgot that this was the hot spring in the common room hall and actually took off all his clothes!
She couldn't stand it...
