HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

The Sahara Desert, the largest tropical desert in the world, is like a shining gem inlaid in the African continent. It has always been quiet but also full of vitality. The strong wind sweeps the fine sand, changing the peaks in the distance into another appearance, confusing all those who have wanted to conquer it throughout the ages.

Alayya was already thirsty from the scorching sun. She put her coat on her head, wanting to wrap herself up like a Middle Eastern person. James hung on the camel's back like a commodity. "Why isn't there a camel? If no camels appear, I'll be bored to death..."

Indeed, the road they chose was very strange. The vast desert was filled with nothing but sand and dunes. There was endless sand, no trace of any camels, no other magical creatures, or other contestants.

"According to common sense, there should be many tests along the way. How could the other contestants walk so fast? They shouldn't have used Apparition, right?" Sirius was also thinking about where the problem lay.

Fortunately, they drew the magic wand, which gave them a constant supply of clean water, but it was hot. After walking for an unknown amount of time in the direction indicated by the compass, the camels were a little tired, especially camel No. 79, which was already a little dehydrated. The four of them had to get off and walk on their own.

Alaiya felt like a mobile BBQ, just missing a handful of cumin. James was crazy, and he rolled up his arms, revealing his white and tender chest. He felt a little relieved and cool, but he was soon sunburned by the scorching sun, and his skin became "pink" that hurt when touched. Alaiya wanted to laugh, but she was not much better now, and her throat was dry and she didn't want to speak.

It was strange that even though she drank so much water, her throat was still hoarse. Lupin gave her his last cucumber. "I don't eat as much as you normally do. I'm not hungry~"

The unshaven Lupin has the destitute feeling of the future original. He just accidentally fell into quicksand and it took him a lot of effort to climb out. His clothes were also scratched by the cactus. Now he looks a bit like the "leader of the Beggars' Sect", but with the unruly flavor of a mature man.

Maybe he is quite suitable for Johnny Depp's style, Alaia thought again and again, then Lupin is really a suitable handsome partner~ Tonks is so lucky.

"I'm not hungry either. I just drank a little too much water!" Alaia knew how valuable the cucumber was at that moment. She didn't want to owe Lupin a favor, so she couldn't let Peter eat it all just because he ate more than them. That would be unfair to them.

Lupin looked a little regretful after being rejected, but he didn't force it. He turned around and persuaded Sirius to eat half the cucumber.

Finally, when night fell, they found a cave that looked like a magical creature and rested for a while. It was probably a creature similar to a desert fox, but much larger, about the size of a horse. Because the paw prints and hair left in the cave were not of normal size and length.

The good news is that they can huddle in the warm fur for the night, the bad news is that the wands they get seem to be able to use only the most basic spells like spring water, blazing fire, and luminescent flashes.

So they might go hungry tonight. After all, no one dared to try to use the ancestral magic spell of Peter's family to create an eight-legged frog, white apple, and croaking fish.

"Will we be poisoned if we eat this?" Ever since Peter was poisoned and fell into a coma with James last time, the four of them have become much more cautious about what they eat. This is really a lesson that you learn once you are taught it.

Because they needed to watch their camels and guard against possible sneak attacks, the four decided to take turns on guard duty. Peter was assigned to the last one, which was almost dawn, which was no different from getting up early.

Alayya had no objection to this arrangement. They all thought that they would definitely fall asleep during their duty, so they arranged themselves in the safest time. She was very satisfied with her coat, and huddled in the warm corner of the cave, and fell asleep...

Lupin was the first person on duty. He sat by the campfire combing the camels' hair, preparing to do something to keep himself awake. He saw Sirius close his eyes against Peter, and from the cave came James's grimacing groan due to the sunburn on his back.

When it was Alayya's turn, it was already daybreak, and the shift change time had long passed. However, she woke up automatically because she was thirsty. When she opened her eyes, she felt a little short of breath. It turned out that James had stretched out his arm and pressed her chest muscles. What a hateful guy.

Besides, she was covered with Sirius's coat, and what about him? Oh, she should go and replace him when she got back to sleep. Alaia was so excited that she almost woke James up. She had to be patient and crouch down, and climb over James and Lupin's bodies to get out of the hole.

Sirius was leaning against a camel, trying to braid the camel's hair into a pigtail, looking very tired.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Alayya never knew he was so considerate to Peter.

"I'm too lazy to shout. It's only been two hours..." Sirius didn't even raise his head. Anyway, if he could hold on a little longer, it would be daybreak and there would be no danger.

"Then go get some sleep!"

"Well." Sirius slowly stood up and stretched his sore limbs, ready to go back to sleep. Suddenly he remembered something, "Don't tell Remus and the others!" and then he crawled into the cave.

Alaiya guessed that she was worried that James would find it unfair, so she didn't take it to heart and decided to wait until next time when she could be worth more time.

However, in such a quiet and rare dry desert morning, Alayya's double eyelids seemed to have ideas of their own, always wanting to hold hands.

Just as Alayya was struggling to fight sleepiness, the camels next to her became a little agitated. They stood up one after another, began to neigh, and at the same time pushed Alayya, who was leaning on them, away.

"Ah? What happened to No. 79... No. 78? And No. 77!" Alayya woke up instantly, but the vision was not very clear. She rubbed her eyes and vaguely saw a strange figure with freckles all over his face, messy curly hair, and a British-style stand-up collar robe that reached his ankles. He looked milky white and translucent.

"There's... a ghost... ahhhh..." Alayya was so scared that she almost lost her soul. But while screaming, she saw the "ghost" and felt familiar. And it looked nostalgic and touched? And a little aggrieved?

Wait... do they know each other? Ghosts should be common in the magic world, why is she so excited? Alaiya quickly adjusted her mindset, "Don't... don't... don't be afraid, it's me... Newt! Newt Scamander! Do you remember me?"
