Chapter 33: The Extra One
In the days that followed, Brandi wasn't even happy to go with Harry in class. It wasn't just that Lockhart was always sneaking out of nowhere to find Harry to gossip with, with that disgusting smile on his face, as if he had made up his mind that Harry was the kind of vanity guy he was;
It's not just because Hermione always looks excited and listens to Lockhart's braggadocio - Lockhart's willingness to add points to Brandi and Neville is not unconditional, and he naturally becomes the big hero who stands up at the last minute to save Brandi and Neville who are about to be 'broken into pieces' by the elves to make claypot rice. This is less realistic than the Haikou that Ron boasted about last year...... At least even Ron knew that elves didn't eat meat at all.
"Gildero, he's just exaggerating, a figure of speech!" Every time Lockhart winked at Brandi so triumphantly, and then walked away from Harry and the others, Hermione would always defend him in the distrustful eyes of the crowd. "People are helping Brandi get rid of those annoying elves, and that's the real thing!"
Actually, it didn't matter to any of this, he had already shared a full hundred points of honor with Neville anyway, and even if Lockhart said in front of him how thrilling his situation was, Brandi wouldn't say a word - he didn't want to go with Harry, mainly because the team was really killing each other now.
Wow...... This one's name is Colin. Creevey's elementary brother, have you memorized our timetables?
When they had their seventh 'ingenious' encounter with him in a day, and were asked to help Colin press the shutter to take a picture of him and Harry, Brandi was on the verge of breaking down. At this pace, within a few weeks, the walls of Colin's dorm room will be covered with pictures of Harry and him—are you husband and wife? Do you need to take pictures like this to show your affection?
In fact, Brandi was not the only one on the verge of collapse, even Parvati, who had always been known for his nervous coarseness, began to nervously pull Brandi by the sleeve and pull him aside, asking Harry and the little boy named Colin if they would live happily ever after the book his sister was reading...... Brandi didn't know what she meant at first, but one day at lunch, Parvati suddenly ran up to him, shoved a novel-like book into his arms, and then ran out of the auditorium screaming, hiding from some Indian dominatrix.
This greatly piqued Brandi's curiosity...... So he saw that Padma would not bring Parvati back like a chicken boy for a while, so he sneakily took out the book in his bosom and took a look.
The cover depicts a man and a woman looking at each other affectionately under the parasitism of the blooming pavilion?
Doesn't this look like a romance novel that girls like to read...... Brandi flipped through it in wonder, it seemed to be a touching story-
Eh, it's not good at all, it's obviously a couple, why is this girl's name so masculine? And the level of the painter on the cover is not good, the girl's face is too angular, so a cursory look, you will think it is two men, you see, this is also painted Adam's apple...... Adam's apple?!
"Poof!"
"What's wrong, Brandy?" The voices of Salph and Luna came from the side, but Brandi couldn't see them, "You look bad. ”
"My eyes... Wow! My eyes! It's going to be blind! Brandi lay on the table, rolling her face around in pain over the white tablecloth.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of something being picked up, who seemed to have turned a few pages, and then exclaimed in a low voice—"Sharf, you will be without this brother from now on, and come back to your father with me." Tears were about to fall as he heard Luna instigating in the ear of Salph, who was still dazed......
Why aren't you in a trance at this time, Luna!
…………
Anyway, when Friday afternoon's Potions class was over, they couldn't help but cheer. They could finally take a break from Harry's avid fan......
"Weekend! I've never felt the air so fresh and sweet. As they walked together on the lawn outside the castle, Harry said cheerfully, "By the way, Brandi, we don't have to go to class tomorrow, or we'll go to the treasury tonight, Ron and I haven't been there yet!" ”
Anyway, all five of them knew about the treasury, and Harry didn't hide anything too much.
"I don't have a problem." Brandi's inquiring gaze looked at Hermione and Parvati.
"Then let's just go together," Hermione thought for a moment, "Brandy, you wrote last time that Fifth Inri could duel himself?" We might as well go in and give it a try, and you're sure they're only using the magic and tricks we've learned? ”
"Huh...... It shouldn't be a problem, but if you haven't mastered any particularly powerful lethal magic, it shouldn't be too much. Brandi muttered, "But to be on the safe side, I suggest you master the Iron Armor Charm first, you don't even know how high your dueling level is...... It's the first time I've seen a ...... with a supermagic glow spell used as a flashbang."
Hermione closed her mouth in surprise, "What else can you do with the Fluorescent Charm?" Oh, I didn't expect that—by the way, you said the Iron Armor Curse......"
She and Parvati looked at each other, and both of them took out their wands at the same time, placing an invisible barrier around them.
"We've already got it~"
Seeing this, Harry and Ron were simply envious.
In the middle of the night, Brandi sneaked out. Unlike last year's trapdoor, there was no way for the three of them to be crammed into the invisibility cloak, so they simply went out - it didn't really matter, because given the delicate connection between the Treasury and the mysterious man, Brandi went to the Headmaster's office as early as the afternoon after discussing the action, and unsurprisingly, Dumbledore did not object to them doing so.
So it wasn't until they came to the Great Hall and opened the light door of the treasure house that nothing made anyone nervous.
"Oh! That's pretty cool...... We've been teleported out of Hogwarts, haven't we? Ron and Harry exclaimed as they stepped into the scroll.
"It's supposed to be in the school, Ron." Brandi said amusefully, and he walked over to the stele and activated the mechanism. "You don't have to be so careful to look down the cliff, it's a painting, you're going to hit the wall."
At the same time that the altar begins to rotate, revealing a downward staircase. The sound of water was heard again from the dry well behind them—the sound startled the two of them, but when Brandy took the heavy box out and opened it, their eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Eh, there's only three bottles left...... Alright, Harry, Ron. One bottle per person...... But I don't think it's useful to say that? You shouldn't be able to get the extra bottle out of it—huh?! ”
Hermione and Parvati exclaimed at the same time.
Under their stunned gaze, Ron couldn't wait to take out the remaining three potions in the box. I was holding the bottle, and my eyes wandered and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"What are you talking about, didn't I catch it in one handful......" he said excitedly, "Harry and I have a bottle each, and then what about the extra ones?" Is it useful to drink two bottles of this thing? ”
Brandi and the others looked at each other in alarm, and the unexpected situation made them a little helpless.
"Did anyone bring their pets in...... At that time, couldn't hey just take a spot? Parvati wondered, "You're not going to bring Yale here again this time, are you?" ”
"What nonsense, Yale is now raised in Salph's for nothing, where can I take care of me." Brandi frowned, "And it's so big now...... Oh, that's right! Maybe it's a spotty! Ron, see if your rat is in your pocket? ”
However, when Brandi searched Ron's pocket, they couldn't find the half-dead mouse. There's really nothing to be done about it.
"Forget it, God knows what rules this founder used to cast magic. You and Harry have a drink first, and the rest later. It was useless to drink too much of this thing, Dumbledore said that it only stimulates magical potential, and does not directly increase magical power. ”
Harry had been waiting for this for a long time, and quickly uncorked the bottle and drank the potion.
"Ha~ I think I can kill a cow now." Ron patted his chest and said confidently.
"I think you can blow a cow to death~" Brandi scolded with a smile, "Let's put the bottle back in the end, maybe there will be someone who needs it later...... It's time for us to move forward, finish early and go back to bed early, I haven't stayed up so late in a long time. ”
As Ron put the vial back into the box of the wooden box, Harry was curiously surveying everything in the room when he walked over to Brandi's side - he saw the large stone tablet standing next to Brandi, and some familiar symbols on it made him blurt out excitedly, "Hey! Blondie! The text on it looks a lot like the one on your parchment! ”
Before Brandi could speak, Hermione was keenly aware of the problem in Harry's words.
"Harry? Brandy's parchment, you say? When did he have that kind of thing? ”
Eh...... It's exposed.
Brandi clutched his forehead speechlessly, and Harry's face was crawling with a look of remorse. At this moment, Hermione couldn't react to what was happening—she stared at Brandi suspiciously, "Brandy, shouldn't you sneak to Manson Manor without me......"
Under her powerful aura, Brandi confessed honestly. This caused a lot of trouble, and he the two girls in the room at the same time: Harry and Ron were right, Hermione wouldn't reason with him at all, and instead, when Brandi emphasized that she wasn't going alone—but that she had honestly brought Luna with her, she became even more irritable; Parvati, on the other hand, sulked simply because she could only sulk at home while Brandi was constantly having fun outside, but the way she sulked was a bit problematic - that is, she threw all the pots at Brandi, as if he had locked himself in the house.
So the Brandi expedition team split into three parts at once, the first one was Harry and Ron, who wanted to stay away from the Shura field, then Hermione and Parvati, who were holding hands and moving forward with their heads in the same hatred for some reason, and finally Brandi, who touched his nose and kept asking for forgiveness. Even after seeing the two huge portals in the underground hall, nothing changed.
"Harry, it's better for you and Ron to go on an expedition to the First Seal - my personal opinion, don't try the Fifth Seal challenge without protection. You know, Oliver had warned us before that it could be fatal. Seeing their eagerness, Brandi hurriedly reminded, "And the test of the First Seal seems to be much gentler...... I remember that it seems to be a process of consuming mental energy, and if your mental power is strong enough, you should still be able to talk to a person who is nothing--eh, I really can't remember the specific content of the tests, they seem to be sealed in my mind, but I can't open it. ”
"Huh? And this kind of thing? Harry and Ron asked curiously, they didn't care where they went, and after asking for the spell how to return, they slipped into the portal of the First Seal.
Immediately afterward, Brandi turned his gaze to the girls in powder keg. "Huh...... Hermione, are you really not thinking about it anymore? ”
Hermione gave him a blank look, "Stupid people can pass the test, why can't I?" Hmph, big liar. ”
"It's just ~ Brandi's big liar." Parvati puffed out her little face and stuck her tongue out at Brandy.
…… So you follow what kind of fun. Brandy's head was bloody.
"Well, you have some protection anyway, and that thing should still be on you—" Brandi glanced at Parvati and Hermione. "When you go in, you must bless the iron armor first—hey! Don't rush to go! I'm not done! ”
Brandy's instructions were only halfway through when Hermione and Parvati had already turned around and were about to go inside, holding hands, and this was a matter of their lives!
He hurriedly rushed over - Hermione had completely disappeared into the portal by this time, and he only had time to grab Parvati's other hand-
Heaven and earth changed, Brandy's eyes flickered, and he was once again in the place where he almost lost his name.
But...... What's going on?
Feeling the soft touch on his hands, Brandi looked up in horror. Hermione and Parvati were standing beside him, looking around. On the other side of the dueling arena, three white mist slowly solidified into the shape of the three of them. He subconsciously remembered Parvati's strange ability to adjust the frequency of mana—his face immediately turned pale.
Finished! This time, three people came in together!
