Volume 1 I Don't Want the Philosopher's Stone Sheet 33 The Real Final Test of the Trio (Part I)
Ron was a little surprised that he jumped so hard. But come to think of it, this guy doesn't like him, but he's also considered by the Sorting Hat to be a lion cub with the spirit of Gryffindor. Although he may not have many brains, he has no shortage of courage!
"It's safe down there!" Soon, Ron's voice came from below: "Someone put a mat here. ”
Harry and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ron's voice, looked at each other, and jumped off as well.
"Ah, what is this!" Harry's voice could be heard from below. It was faint, obviously not yelling like Ron had done before, and it was a little difficult to transmit the sound.
Daphany walked to the entrance, pouted, and leaped down. In the air, it quickly transforms into a bird snake only the length of a little finger. It flew down quickly against the wall.
Daphany went down just in time for Hermione to force the devil net back with a bright light.
"It's good that you listened carefully in class!" Harry sighed, Ron on the side still coughing. The devil's net can strangle him not lightly.
"Well, actually, I didn't remember all of it when I talked about the Devil's Net in class," Hermione was a little embarrassed: "Didn't I get punished with Pansy to fertilize the Devil's Net a few days ago, Professor Sprout reviewed it for us again, so I can remember it so clearly!" ”
The surroundings are very dark and there is no light, and even if there are colorful scales and wings, it is not easy to spot birds and snakes shrunk to the thickness of their tail fingers. Daphany quickly slipped into the hood of Harry's cloak. Then he stopped moving. The rest of the journey Harry's trio should be able to solve on their own, and Daphany is only prepared to make sure that Harry and Quirrell collide without any accidents at the end.
Of course, if there is any big change before this, Daphany will also take action at her discretion.
The three of them walked down a stone hallway, and it was hard to imagine how such a piece of the castle could be squeezed out. But considering that this is the wizarding world, neither Harry nor Daphany think it's that weird. Since there was only one way, Harry and the three of them had no chance of getting lost, and walked along the stone road.
"You say, what monsters will guard it?" The surroundings were quiet, only the footsteps of the three people, and Ron obviously couldn't stand such an oppressive environment, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but since it was arranged by a few professors, it should be ...... It won't be easy, right? Hermione said with some embarrassment, thought about it and said, "The devil's net just now should be Professor Sprout's technique, if it is only this kind of difficulty......"
Speaking of which, Hermione was a little entangled, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. If it's just this difficulty, they're much more likely to pass. But it also means that such difficulty cannot stop Snape.
"I hope Professor Kettleburn isn't hiding a fire dragon here, the grown-up kind!" Harry drew a cross on his chest. He wasn't actually a Christian, but he had seen people do it in prayer, and he learned to do it. I have to say that this is very inconsistent with his image as a little wizard at this time.
Harry's concerns were shared by both Ron and Hermione. Professor Sylvanos Kettleburn is the professor of the Magical Beasts Conservation class at the College and the best professor in the College with Hagrid. This is probably not comparable to Professor Dumbledore, who has been talked about by Hagrid for many years. Because the Professor, like Hagrid, is obsessed with all kinds of magical creatures, and he is also a dangerous magical creature. I especially like dragons!
When he first raised dragons, Hagrid sighed more than once that it would be nice if he could have Sylvanos come and help. Obviously, though, Hagrid's brain capacity is worrying, but it's not at all. After all, he didn't dare to pull the professors of the academy in.
However, in fact, Daphany secretly suspected that Professor Sylvanos Kettleburn, who had been placed on probation sixty-two times (the highest number since the establishment of Hogwarts) for causing trouble with dangerous creatures he raised, might really be involved in the future. Although this product is very popular in the academy, he is indeed a troublemaker. Daphany knew that the Weasley twins' idol was the professor. It's hard to imagine that this thing was from the low-key and reserved Hufflepuff Side.
"Shh Hermione suddenly made a silent gesture, listened carefully, and then whispered, "Did you hear anything?" ”
There was a faint sound of silliness and clanging in the distance.
"Could it be a ghost, or a war puppet?" This was Ron's opinion, and in the last Charms class after the final exam, Professor Flitwick was chatting happily with everyone. Deliberately guided by Daphany, it is revealed that he had won the All-European Young Wizard Duel Tournament in his youth, although Professor Flitwick claimed that it was an accident and good luck. This came as a surprise to the young wizards, considering that Professor Flitwick was usually an extremely good-natured and gentle professor. He was also the director of the bookish Ravenclaw Branch.
Professor Flitwick recounted an interesting anecdote about the fact that he and Professor McGonagall were enrolled in the same year. The Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time when it came to arranging for the two of them. Both are oscillating between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. The end result is clear.
Flitwick also mentions that Professor McGonagall was actually a regular in duels when she was younger, and that she was good at the war golem magic, a derivative of Transfiguration. In the words of Professor Flitwick. A metal puppet more than ten meters tall stands in front of you, and even if you don't do anything, those who can not pee your pants are brave. Professor Flitwick said that the last opponent he would ever want to face in a samurai duel tournament was Professor McGonagall.
Because of these words, young wizards such as Ron, Harry, and even Daphany were extremely interested in war golems for a time. However, after a little study of the literature, Daphany found that this kind of magic can be said to be the pinnacle of Transfiguration, and it is very difficult, and judging from the current progress of her magic cultivation, she will not have any ideas in three or five years.
Daphany gave up, let alone Ron. However, the name of the war golem was firmly imprinted in Ron's mind.
"If only it were a war puppet, Snape wouldn't have been able to pass it!" Harry said.
They came to the end of the hallway, and in front of them was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling. Countless small birds that were as brilliant as jewels flapped their wings and flew around the room.
There is a heavy wooden door opposite the room.
"Do you say they're going to attack us if we go through the room?" Ron asked, looking at the bird-like things.
"It's very likely!" Harry squinted his eyes and looked up, "But it doesn't seem to be very dangerous, let's be careful and go over first." "Saying that, I put an armor spell on myself first, and failed. Again, again failed. Again, it finally worked. Harry blackened his face and helped Ron inflict one, and it took two more times to succeed. Harry felt a little embarrassed that he had asked Daphany for advice on this magic after the exam. When I practiced secretly, the success rate was already very high, but now I have failed continuously when I perform.
Hermione's talent was on full display at this moment. After watching Harry do it five times, she tried to use it for herself. The second time it worked.
Lord of the plane, you are so eccentric! Dafanie was hiding inside Harry's hood. Although the armor charm is also low-level magic, it is a very difficult low-level magic. Even when Daphany was studying, she tried seven or eight times before she succeeded. Although Hermione's innate magic power is not particularly outstanding, this sensitivity to magic and learning ability are simply too demonic.
The three of them quickly walked to the other end of the room, expecting something to come out and attack them, but nothing turned out to be there. They came to the door unharmed.
Harry pulled the doorknob, it was locked. He tried to push again, but to no avail. The three of them alternately tried to use the lock-picking charm, but to no avail. Apparently this door is specially treated.
"What should I do?" Ron kicked the door in annoyance, but it didn't affect it except for the pain in his own foot.
"Those are not birds, nor are they decorations!" As Harry and Ron were battling the door, Hermione, who was looking around, noticed something flying in the air: "Those things keys, winged keys!" ”
Harry and Ron looked up. Harry doesn't have good eyes, and he doesn't have good glasses. Ron, however, saw it clearly and shouted, "I know, I know, we have to grab those keys and use them to open the door." But ......"
"But I'm afraid there are hundreds, or thousands, of keys there?" Harry said uncertainly. Daphine, who was hiding in Harry's hat, was still on an empty stomach at this time, and sure enough, the rotten people were not good at math, right?
Ron carefully studied the door and lock: "What we are looking for should be an ancient key, similar to this door lock, it should be very large, most likely silver......" As he said that, he also looked around, and soon found that the few broomsticks leaning against the wall in the corner were the most worn and ordinary kind.
Hermione hesitated and didn't follow Harry and Ron on on her broomstick. When it comes to flying, Harry's talent is unmatched, and Ron is also remarkable. But Hermione was not like that at all. As good as her grades in class were, as bad as her flying scores. Even if Harry and Daphany helped her with her tuition, it wouldn't help.
"I'll be waiting below to open the door for you!" Hermione said.
Harry and Ron nodded and stepped onto the broomstick.
It's hard to find a specific one among thousands of keys, even if Harry is considered the youngest and most talented Seeker at Hogwarts in the last century.
The keys gather together, like schools of fish in the ocean current, densely packed, and have a very serious impact on the line of sight.
Harry and Ron spun around in the air for a long time before they spotted their target. It was a large silver key with sky-blue wings, and one of its wings was broken to look like it had been caught.
"That's it, blue wings, a little broken!" Ron was noisy, but riding a broomstick that usually swept the floor, and with his flying skills, he couldn't keep up.
Ron couldn't catch up, but Harry could. The young Seeker at Hogwarts played his part at this moment. He quickly weaved through the myriad of keys. Although the keys don't actively attack, the interference they get together is quite annoying. Fortunately, Harry's armor spell hadn't expired yet, and the little key couldn't even touch his body.
A series of Harry's difficult flights, with Ron and Hermione cheering below. Daphine wanted to throw up. It's not for any other reason, it's just dizziness. It's not the same feeling as riding on a broomstick.
By the time Harry finally grabbed the key, Hermione took it from him and opened the wooden door, Daphne was fainting. Fortunately, Animagus is not Transfiguration, otherwise he would definitely have to show his original form at this time.
Dazzy, Daphany followed the trio through the large thick wooden door into the second room.
The second room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. But the trio had only taken two steps forward when the room suddenly lit up, illuminating everything around them. The three little wizards were stunned.
"It's ...... Cemetery? Hermione looked around and asked, confused.
They were standing in a square room surrounded by dozens of huge stone statues four or five meters high, which looked very intimidating.
"No, it's not a cemetery!" Harry wasn't sure yet, but Ron had already made a judgment from the shape of the stone statue: "It's a chessboard!" ”
Yes, the three of them were standing on a huge chessboard at this time, with black stone statues on their sides and white on the opposite side. As you can see, there is a door on the other side of the board.
"The door is there!" Hermione pointed to the door and prepared to go over, but as soon as she walked in front of the pawn of the white chess piece, the row of soldiers (pawns) who had been half-crouching and defending with horizontal swords and vertical shields blocked her way.
"It's ......" Hermione startled and stepped back.
"Isn't that obvious?" There was suppressed excitement in Ron's tone: "We're going to play chess!" ”
