Hogwarts: This fairy tale is too eerie

Miss Butterfly continued reciting, and the shape of the smoke crocodile changed with her words:

The little crocodile is smiling happily.

The crocodile grinned, its fangs standing upright like saw blades.

[Sharpening each claw]

The crocodile raised its claws, each nail resembling a small dagger.

[For this important moment—]

As she spoke, amidst the billowing smoke, Miss Butterfly lifted her little feet, stretched out her many arms freely, and stared at them with her dark compound eyes, like a bright fruit.

He pouted and said, deliberately and mischievously, word by word:

[Play happily with the little fish~]

The words fell.

"roar!!!"

The Smoke Crocodile let out a deafening roar, shaking dust off the ceiling of the underground classroom!

It opened its huge mouth, and countless flying fish were spat out from it, shooting towards Thor and Snape like cannonballs!

The podium and blackboard were smashed to pieces, leaving large craters in the walls!

"This thing even carries firearms?! Are they competing to see who has the biggest mouth?!"

The fire demon suddenly raised its body, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed the flying fish whole!

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, the fire demon's body instantly swelled, coughing and exhaling a series of "o"-shaped plumes of smoke, before proudly raising its arms like a bodybuilder:

"Haha! Your trick won't work on me—ooh!"

Thor ducked to avoid the claws of the smoke crocodile, his severed straw and hair flying around him.

Smoke billowed and collided with the crimson flames, producing a crackling sound like thunderclouds.

Thor's grey eyes blazed as he stared intently at the fleeting opening revealed by the crocodile's claws as it swung its claws, gripping his thorny longsword tightly!

He murmured:

"Sing of love, nightingale...!"

next second.

Thorns suddenly sprang up and pierced through the crocodile's lower jaw!

It pierced right through the middle of its head!

Hehe~ It's useless~

Miss Butterfly curled her lips into a smile, bent over, and, as if lying in bed, propped her cheeks up, saying in a playful voice similar to Hermione's, yet distinctly incongruous:

[Smoke has no physical form, so how could you possibly attack it—huh?]

Her words suddenly stopped, and her compound eyes trembled in surprise!

Suddenly, crimson roses bloomed on the thorns, and the crocodile's smoke-filled body began to shrink rapidly as if it were being absorbed!

"Yay~ This tastes awful~" The rose trembled slightly, uttering a delicate voice, "Master, please don't serve me this next time~"

Blood can nourish the rose thorns, and the smoke, though unpalatable, can also be absorbed!

"roar......"

The crocodile howled, waving its claws and struggling desperately, but its movements were restricted by the flames!

In just a few seconds, it was completely consumed by the greedy and thirsty rose!

His body turned into a wisp of gray smoke and vanished with a bang!

【Gurgle!】

Miss Butterfly flipped herself up, a hint of panic and anger appearing on her usually relaxed and playful face.

Flashes of grayish-black smoke billowed from her mouth, enveloping her body, while only her rapid words could be heard:

"You're getting old, Father!"

[She feels dizzy and disoriented when walking, and keeps stumbling and falling!]

next second.

The dark clouds that filled the classroom rolled around rapidly, like a washing machine, disrupting the view and confusing the senses!

"Tsk, so many tricks up their sleeves!"

Professor Snape, fighting off the dizziness, raised his wand and cast a whirlwind to sweep it away!

"call!"

A powerful hurricane swept in, but it only tore a small crack in the churning, thick clouds!

Immediately afterwards, dark clouds covered the area again!

Professor Snape felt a headache coming on.

The original body is a Gryffindor idiot, so you can't just shoot an Avada Kedavra or any other harmful spell at all.

Otherwise, Dumbledore would have gently tapped his head that very night.

"Damn it..."

Snape had rarely felt so powerless. Holding his wand, he felt like he was holding a stick, wishing he could throw the cauldron at them.

Just then.

Snape turned his head and met a pair of sparkling gray eyes.

?

Snape's heart skipped a beat as he began to ponder how high his chances of survival were in Dumbledore's hands.

"Professor Snape," came the devil's voice, "I've come up with a brilliant idea."

Reflected in Snape's furrowed black eyes was the raging crimson flames wrapped around Thor's arm.

......

Smoke billows.

The entire underground classroom was like a scene from a thunderstorm, with swirling, dark clouds obscuring the view and making it impossible to distinguish east from west.

Seeing this, Miss Butterfly smirked triumphantly, deftly flipped over in mid-air, and crossed her arms:

[Hmph~ I won't get caught like those other foolish creatures! The outside world is so much more interesting; I don't want to go back to those gloomy bookshelves!]

The book covering its face revealed its dark compound eyes, which rolled around greedily as it gazed at the students tethered by the silk threads. Its thin tongue darted out and licked its lips.

There's so much more nourishment waiting for me to absorb~ That little librarian can't stop me~

With her dark compound eyes gleaming, Miss Butterfly's mind was already filled with the dreamlike scene of herself perched high above countless nutrients, breathing in clouds and mist.

[If I can absorb more power, even I, who am currently ranked at Tier 2, can advance to a higher rank and join the "Tea Party"... Hmm?]

Miss Butterfly's reverie was interrupted; her dark compound eyes rolled, scanning the billowing gray smoke before her.

I have a feeling that something's not right...?

Why is it so quiet?

The moment that thought crossed my mind, a loud bang suddenly came from the smoke!

"Boom—!!"

Like a series of thunderstorms, crimson light burst forth one after another!

From faint to blinding!

It was as if the fuse of a firecracker had been lit, eventually sweeping in and turning into a crimson storm!

【W-what?!】

Miss Butterfly stared in horror, her dark compound eyes trembling, and she instinctively used her arms to shield herself from the intense heat rushing towards her!

"boom!!"

In the blink of an eye, the classroom, which was originally filled with gray smoke, was now filled with flames that spun and danced like bright brocade!

The extreme heat distorted the entire classroom space!

【Aaaaaah—!!!】

Miss Butterfly waved her arms anxiously and angrily, sweat dripping down her dark blue skin as she desperately sprayed smoke outwards!

However, the gray smoke that was originally his trump card now seemed to have become an accelerant for the enemy, making the flames burn even more fiercely!

What... what on earth is going on?!

Miss Butterfly screamed in bewilderment, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

No, no way...! I was clearly in the lead, how did it suddenly turn out like this?!

......etc.

"wind"?

Miss Butterfly was startled, her antennae twitching as she felt the gentle breeze blowing from beneath the blazing flames.

next second.

An arm suddenly emerged from the flames and smoke, grabbing her slender neck!

"The fire was fueled by the wind."

Thor's lips curled into a smile, his reflection etched in the wide, dark compound eyes within the book. His hand tightened slightly as he spoke, each word deliberate and deliberate:

"Read more books, you blind, silly butterfly!"

—Professor Snape’s powerful “Whirlwind Sweep” combined with the fire demon’s blazing flames to create this grand “Crimson Dance”!

Ink flowed from her fingertips and, to Miss Butterfly's incredulous gaze, quickly solidified into the shape of a fountain pen!
