Hogwarts: What Bad Intentions Could a Little Hufflepuff Have? Chapter 10

Its hardness had not been enough to pierce the Concealment Monster's footpads.

That was why he had chosen to run.

But now...

His magical power had increased drastically.

And his magical affinity had increased as well.

The Earth Spikes he created with Transfiguration...

Now had enough hardness to injure that Concealment Monster!

The Concealment Monster stared fixedly at Black.

At this moment...

Besides anger...

What it felt even more was wariness.

Fantastic Beasts like this generally possessed great intelligence.

It had originally thought the two human cubs before it were both easy prey.

But now...

It had completely changed its mind.

As such, it had actually begun considering retreat.

But...

It was still unwilling to accept that!

And besides, they were only two human cubs!

How could they possibly hurt it?!

Thinking it over carefully...

Its injury just now...

Had entirely been caused by its own carelessness!

It had accidentally stepped on an Earth Spike!

It was simply unlucky.

That did not mean that human cub was powerful!

The more the Concealment Monster thought about it, the more reasonable it found this idea.

Thus, its wariness gradually began to fade again.

When Black saw the Concealment Monster's eyes turn savage once more...

He could not help sighing.

"Do you really have to throw your life away?"

"Rumble!"

The Concealment Monster pounced again!

Only this time, it kept much more of its attention on the ground.

This time, it absolutely would not step on another Earth Spike!

Although the Concealment Monster's footpads were injured...

And its speed had slowed considerably...

Its charge was still ferocious!

Hermione watched the monster in terror.

She had not expected it to be able to attack even after suffering such severe injuries!

As the monster was about to reach Black...

Hermione's heart leaped into her throat.

Just then...

A huge boulder by the roadside suddenly transformed into a somewhat crude Stone Lion!

The Stone Lion lunged forward.

It violently pinned the Concealment Monster, whose attention was focused on the ground, beneath it!

"Roar!"

The enraged Concealment Monster struggled.

But...

The Stone Lion made of rock was incomparably heavy.

That pounce alone had broken at least several of its bones!

More terrifyingly...

"Crunch!"

Though the Stone Lion looked crude...

It lacked none of the necessary features.

It opened its enormous jaws.

Its sharp fangs sank viciously into the Concealment Monster's neck!

"Roar!"

The Concealment Monster screamed miserably.

For the first time, despair appeared in its eyes!

All that could be said was that this Concealment Monster had fallen for Black's trick again.

Normally, with the Stone Lion hastily created through Transfiguration...

Even if the Concealment Monster was injured...

Its speed would not have been enough to catch up to the Concealment Monster.

Much less pounce on it at just the right moment and knock it to the ground.

But the Concealment Monster's attention had been entirely focused on guarding against the Earth Spikes on the ground.

Why would it deliberately pay attention to a rock by the roadside?

Therefore...

The Stone Lion's ambush succeeded with ease!

Hermione watched this scene.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

"Is that... Transfiguration?!"

Professor McGonagall had once demonstrated this kind of magic before her entire family!

Hadn't the professor said that it was a very profound form of magic...

And difficult to learn?

Why...

Why could this boy, who was about the same age as her, use it too?

And with such mastery?!

Could he actually be a child from a wizarding family?

Hermione stared at Black in shock.

Ding! Shock detected.

Ding! Drawing a Treasure Chest for the host!

Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained one Gold Treasure Chest!

Black, who had victory firmly in hand, heard the system notifications.

A delighted smile appeared on his lips!

A Gold Treasure Chest!

This was the first time a Treasure Chest of this quality had dropped!

And...

Hermione's drop rate was already this high.

Then Dumbledore and the others in the future...

Wouldn't that be amazing?

At that thought, Black's heart immediately filled with anticipation.

P.S. A new book sets sail! This author humbly begs for flowers, votes, and reviews! All esteemed readers are welcome to chat in the review section!

Dumbledore's Shock! You Call This Eleven Years Old?!

The Concealment Monster was still struggling over there.

However, the Stone Lion pressed down on it.

And held its neck in a death grip with its jaws.

Dark red blood slowly flowed from the Concealment Monster's neck.

As more blood drained away...

The Concealment Monster's struggles grew weaker and weaker...

Black knew.

This Concealment Monster was as good as dead.

He sighed.

Then he turned around and extended his right hand toward Hermione.

Hermione stared blankly at him.

It took her quite a while to come back to her senses.

Blushing, she took Black's hand.

And he pulled her to her feet in one swift motion.

It could not be helped.

What had just happened had been far too shocking.

She had been unable to recover for a long time.

Whether it was the ferocious monster...

Or Black's masterful Transfiguration...

Both had given her an incomparable visual shock...

Black felt as though he now possessed limitless strength.

When he pulled Hermione up...

She felt as light as a feather, as if she weighed nothing at all...

Black worriedly squeezed his arm.
