198. Harry's Break
Harry and Thor eventually got involved in this big event, the stupidest thing Quirrell did was to provoke the faint connection between Draco and Ron, and finally achieve the goal of messing with Harry, to be honest, if he didn't do it, Harry wouldn't have let himself pay too much attention to this matter, after all, Harry had thought that there were so many powerful professors besides him.
But Quirrell was wrong, he was so focused on Harry that he saw him as a potential threat, if he hadn't made the first move......
But it also had a lot to do with Quirrell's master, not only did Quirrell see Harry as a threat, but his master thought the same way, after all, he had folded on the young Harry even in pride.
So Harry was ready to fight back now.
They already knew that Quirrell was going to do it tonight, so there were two options, one was to wait for Quirrell at the finish line one step ahead of him, and the other was to follow Quirrell's footsteps closely.
Either way, there are certain dangers, and being one step ahead of Quirrell is equivalent to them providing Quirrell with a lot of convenience, and following Quirrell closely may be accompanied by the danger of being discovered by him.
"So which one do you choose? My brother. β
Harry didn't think about what else to call in this matter, after all, there was a certain danger, he and Thor were both people who could protect themselves, and it was uncertain if it was someone else, not even Hermione.
"Either way, it's a gamble, but it's better to kill Quirrell than to catch him off guard."
Thor is a standard Gryffindor, with an adventurous nature in his soul. Harry looked at his brother and laughed, if it was a bet, he would prefer to be the first, Quirrell would be vigilant but human vigilance could not last long, if he didn't see anyone at the end, he would definitely think it was a trap given to him by Dumbledore.
Harry missed his brothers very much at this time, if they were, just one Quirrell would not be enough for them to play, so that they wouldn't be in trouble here like the two of them are now, and if his brothers were there, they could have laid out a more comprehensive trap.
"I miss Loki, Harold, Hannibal, them."
Harry said abruptly as he lay on his bed, Thor nodded Not only did Harry miss, he missed his brothers too, everyone missed them.
"So the first plan?"
Harry nodded, just play a big one, wouldn't it be fun to kill one by surprise.
The plan was scheduled to start at seven o'clock in the evening, and Harry was confident that Quirrell wouldn't have acted so early, and if he did, he would have chosen to do so after everyone had returned to the common room.
Ron felt that Harry had been mysterious lately, and he and Thor didn't know what they were discussing, even Hermione didn't know. Ron had been making trouble with Draco lately at Harry's behest, and the two of them had been able to satirize everything they could, except that they hadn't done anything.
That's what Harry wanted, but then it took a bit of effort to ease things up.
When Ron found out that Harry and Thor were not in the dormitory, he wondered where the two of them could go at this time, it was already night, and there was nowhere for the two of them to go.
Ron didn't know that Harry and Thor were actually on an adventure.
Ron didn't know, but the two little Lestrades were caught by Draco.
He wasn't stupid, he guessed what Harry was planning, and combined with Thor disappearing as Quirrell passed them in the morning, Draco wondered if he had been following Professor Quirrell.
And Ron Weasley has been getting trouble with him lately, which is very annoying but has a kind of acting to show people, which makes Draco wonder if Harry made him do it.
So Draco was ready to take a gamble to see if Harry was taking advantage of him.
Draco saw that Harry and Thor had left Gryffindor's common room and followed, and when they had all left Gryffindor's territory, Harry suddenly stopped, and Draco had no time to hide.
"Draco, isn't stalking a good habit?"
Harry hadn't expected Draco to be waiting for them, and this adventure would be dangerous for everyone but the two of them, even a little Slytherin with a reputation for being cunning.
"Who said I was following you, I was just walking around the campus."
Draco wouldn't admit that he was following, but when he said this, he had the feeling that there was no silver in the place. Harry raised an eyebrow, and since he didn't admit them, he followed Draco's words.
"Then I have something to do with Thor. See you tomorrow? β
Seeing that Harry was leaving, Draco immediately stopped them, "I think you might need a smart guy to help. β
Draco wouldn't let the two of them run out on their own, and if Harry dared to use him, he would have to pay a price, he could just forget it.
"What we're going to do, you may not be suited for."
Harry knew that Draco should have guessed something, but it was something Draco wouldn't like, and it was too risky.
"Why didn't you think it was inappropriate when you were using me? Porter. Draco walked into Harry and pulled him by the collar to pull him in front of him, Harry was a little taller than Draco because he had some of Hannibal's nutritious meals, Draco looked up at Harry who was close at hand and said, "Since you pulled me in, at least I'm going to play with you until the end, I'm not that stupid troll from Weasley, let you take advantage of it at will." β
Harry didn't care much about Draco tugging at his collar, he just sighed, it looked like Draco Malfoy was really not that easy to deal with, it was really troublesome, he would have known that he would not have pulled Draco into this plan.
But the use? Still can't say.
"Harry, looks like you can't say no to Draco."
Thor was talking about cool things, Harry knew it, but it was also a fact, he really had no reason to refuse, unless it was to use force to force people right here, but then Draco would be able to make a big fuss after today, in that case all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
"Okay, then you're going to listen to me, OK?"
Draco thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, he just listened to Harry's arrangement, he reluctantly agreed.
Harry had been wondering if it was really good for him to do this after agreeing. But if they didn't agree, it was clear that Draco couldn't let them go, and that was probably the best solution. They dodged the students at Hogwarts and made their way to the room where Lowe was held. Now that there was no chance of backing on this step, Harry took the doorknob by the hand and said to Draco, "Are you sure you want to continue?" It could be really dangerous. β
Draco sneered, "I'm not as timid as you think. β
Harry sneered, and he asked Thor and Draco to stand in the back, and now the door was open.
Draco was held back by Thor, a terrifying three-headed dog, and no one knew if it would suddenly pounce. Harry had heard how to subdue Lowe, but Harry now preferred the simple and brutal.
When Louwe saw someone enter his territory, all three of them looked repulsed, and they tried to rush up and bite Harry, but Harry raised his wand and pointed it at it.
Draco tilted his head as he looked at the crashing behemoth and said, "I thought simple and rough was your usual approach, Thor. β
In Draco's mind, Harry was probably more ...... Be sensible, such a simple and crude way is really not suitable for him. Thor took Draco's hand and walked into the room, saying as he went, "You may not believe it, but Harry has something in him that every one of our brothers imagines, and he's more complicated. β
Draco pouted, saying in his heart that it must be a lie, how could Harry have so many personalities, but the complexity was true.
After Harry saw them all come in, the door suddenly closed with a wave of his hand, and by the way, it automatically locked it, this trick was learned by Harry from Merlin during the holidays, Harry's magic was more learned from Loki and Merlin, and he has been absorbing everyone's strengths.
"Wow, that's amazing, Potter."
Harry pulled open the knocker of the movable door that Lowe had guarded, and said to Draco, "Thanks for the compliment. β
It was dark down there, and Harry didn't know what was underneath this door, and if there was any danger, so all they had to do was light up the dark place.
"Remember what you've always been curious about?"
Draco nodded, he remembered that he had always wondered what Harry's magic could be, or what the real Harry Potter would look like.
"I showed it to you today, even if I owed you before, I paid it off."
Draco thought that this was a bit of a disadvantage for him, but he could only nod when he saw Harry's expression, this was the first year, and he still had six years to deal with Harry, and he would always know his "dirty" little secrets.
"Harry Potter, your secrets will always be known to me."
"But there's always a bit of suspense, don't you, dear Draco."
As long as there is light, a round ball of light appeared in Harry's right hand deep inside, Draco raised an eyebrow, he didn't feel strange about these magics anymore, if he had been like a person who had never seen the world, he would definitely be laughed at later.
The light illuminated the entire underground, and Harry took a look at it and said, "It looks like it didn't go down in a hurry. β
Directly below them were some plants writhing their bodies, it seemed that these plants were afraid of light, it was very likely that they had learned the devil's net before, after all, there were no other plants besides it that had this kind of fear of light.
"Thor, you go first."
Harry asked Thor to go down first, so that if all Wayway woke up, there would still be a response, Thor nodded and turned over and jumped off, this distance was nothing to him, but it was a bit high for Draco, who had not exercised before.
Thor opened his hand to Draco, who took two steps back, why did he just jump off his hand......
"Don't you like that?"
Harry thought Draco would get used to it, it seemed that the boy didn't like to wake up with other people, so Harry thought of a solution, he looked at Draco who refused and cleared his throat and said, "If you don't like it, there's another way to let you go down, after all, this distance is still a bit difficult for you." β
Draco thought Harry was looking down on him, but he looked at it, well, it was a bit of a distance, and if he jumped, he could easily hurt his foot, so he turned to him and asked, "What's the solution?" β
Harry spread his hands and said, "Levitation Charm." β
"Levitation Charm?! What are you kidding, Potter! β
Draco didn't expect Harry to think of the Levitation Charm, when the Levitation Charm would be used on people, Harry blinked at Draco and opened his hand, "It's just a matter of learning, dear Draco." β
Learn and apply?! Before Draco could refuse, he felt himself floating, and Thor retracted his newly outstretched arms, which looked like it was fun. Before Draco could scream, he fell to the ground, and Harry jumped down, and as soon as Harry was able to stand still, Draco went up and gave him a kick, "Who told you to use the Levitation Charm without my permission?!" What if you don't have a control? β
Harry sighed helplessly and said, "If you can train your body a little better, you don't need to use this good method. β
Overall, Harry still thinks that Draco needs to strengthen his body, he can't run, he can't jump such a short distance, and if Draco can have the ability to jump on his own, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome.
"You-"
Draco gritted his teeth, Harry Potter had laughed at his body for the second time, he would definitely exercise well when he went home this time, he didn't believe that he could be ridiculed by Harry in the future, even if he couldn't train to be like Thor, he still had to have Harry's body. Draco didn't really know that Harry was the kind of person who looked very slender, but when he took off his clothes, he was full of muscles, if he wanted to surpass Harry...... That's a workout from scratch.
Harry closed the movable door panel, creating an illusion for Quirrell.
The three of them walked inside along the only entrance, Harry and Thor sandwiched Draco in the middle, all three of them had wands in their hands, Draco swallowed his saliva He actually regretted it a little, he shouldn't have taken the risk of taking risks with Harry and Thor, this kind of adventure was not what Slytherin should do at all, he was the stupidest Slytherin, the stupidest Malfoy.
Harry took Draco's hand, then looked into his eyes and smiled unusually brightly, "No problem, remember?" I told you to protect you, and Sol we won't put you in danger. β
Draco was reluctant to be protected by Harry, but he still held Harry's hand tightly, at least holding Harry's hand would make him feel a little relieved.
"Don't talk to anyone about today."
"Of course."
They heard a rustling sound in front of them, and the three of them looked at each other, and Thor stepped forward and listened carefully, and then said, "Like...... The sound of birds flapping their wings. β
The door in front of them was very heavy, and Harry and Thor pushed it open together, and they had Draco stand behind them, and if any birds pounced, they would scare the birds with flames, but it turned out that it was not a bird that appeared behind the door, but a winged key, and the whole room was full of flying keys, and across from them was a closed door that looked like it couldn't be opened without a key.
"Whoever is involved in this level, I want to say it's really ...... What a thought! β
Harry rolled up his sleeves, he was the most suitable for this task among the three of them, after all, he was a Gryffindor Seeker, and compared to the flying Thor and Draco, they all had an experience in it, Harry looked at the broomsticks on the side and asked Thor and Draco to help him command below, to see which one was the real key.
Truth be told, even Harry had a hard time with this task, and it took Harry ten minutes to catch up with the damn key, scratching his hair and inserting the key in his hand into the lock, "Damn, it's a lot harder than being a Seeker." β
The door opened, and Harry opened the key in his hand, letting it go back into his army.
If starting from Lu Wei can be regarded as the beginning of the level, this is already the fourth level, the first level is the crazy Lu Wei, the second level is the damn devil net, and the third level is the key difficulty they just experienced.
Now it's the fourth level, and Harry knows what it is by looking at the giant pieces, the Wizard's Chess, and they are standing on the other side that looks like they can only win by beating the opposing white piece.
But they were missing a few pieces now, and Harry looked at the wizard chess in front of him and knew what the purpose of this game was, courage, as long as you have courage to be able to pass this level, after all, you need to sacrifice someone to get through this level.
But it was impossible for Harry to let Thor or Draco die, and even more so for him, after all, if he "hanged" at this level, it would be impossible for Thor and Draco to deal with Quirrell, especially the back of Quirrell's head could speak.
So Harry turned and ran back, he needed to find a few things that could cast the Transfiguration Spell so that he could act as the knight and the king that was missing from the chessboard, he had seen through almost all the pieces, and he couldn't know how to make each move.
Thor watched Harry run back to know what Harry was up to, while Draco looked at the game in front of him and shook his head and said, "It takes a sacrifice to get through." β
Although he didn't like the game of wizarding chess, it didn't prove that Draco wouldn't, and Thor looked at him in surprise when he heard Draco say this, it seemed that Harry had one more opponent to fight.
Harry petrified and retrieved a spare key and returned to the chessboard with them, placing each key in its missing place and using the Transfiguration Charm, a trick that Draco didn't expect Harry to use.
"Professor McGonagall will be glad to know that you're so learning, and then she'll say out loud that Gryffindor adds five points, oh, what a clever Potter!"
"Can you not joke with me, besides, Professor McGonagall doesn't usually talk like that."
Harry looked at the chessboard in front of him and said, "Then let's play chess." β
When the kingdom on the other side took off their crowns, Harry knew they had won and that the pieces would still recover, so they needed to put all the keys away and leave Quirrell with no help.
"Potter: Actually, I'd love to say ...... We can force the passage of guΓ². β
Harry looked at Draco as an afterthought and said helplessly, and said to himself that if you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have had to go so far into running so many times, and I would have to play a boring wizard chess, this kind of chess that can see the ending is not a challenge for Harry.
"It's supposed to be the fifth level, if we start with the devil's net, I guess we should have passed the devil's net set up by Professor Sprout, and those flying keys must be the masterpiece of Professor Felivier, after all, the spells on those keys are so exquisite. Professor McGonagall must have done something to bring those pieces back to life - Professor Snape's potion. β
If Quirrell wasn't the mastermind of the incident, Harry could have guessed if he had been involved, but it seems that there should have been no Quirrell in the first place.
Harry seemed to have been inspired by what Draco had just said, they didn't need to follow any rules, they just had to follow their own rules, for example, Harry wouldn't let Thor and Draco get hurt.
The purple flames in front of him gave Harry a slight headache, but it seemed that all it needed was a protective spell, as if they had used the magic to block bullets. Professor Snape relied not only on potions, but also on reasoning, Harry grinned and shuffled the order, if Quirrell had been able to break through before, he should have tried this level, after all, he couldn't guess if the flames could withstand it.
Harry closed his eyes, and he was using all his magic to create a protective layer around them.
Draco still felt the magic, if Harry's magic was still within her range of acceptance, this magic was no longer something that could be done at Harry's age, not even at the age of Harry.
Especially done without a wand without a spell.
Draco didn't know why he suddenly wanted to say that it was Harry Potter.
"If only Loki were here, so at least I have a helper."
Harry wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said to Thor, who nodded seriously, this kind of magic is what Loki is good at, and it would be really good if he was there.
In the final room, a mirror was placed, and Harry and Thor stared in amazement at the mirror that should have disappeared into the schoolβthe Mirror of Eris.
"Is the last hurdle ...... Face your own **? β
