Chapter 61: Snape's MagicChapter 61: Snape's Magic
"Let's go inside"
A disgusting stench hit their noses, and they had to lift their clothes to cover their noses. Their eyes were also smoked with tears, and through the blurred teary eyes, they saw a troll, even larger than the one they had fought last time, lying motionless on the floor in front of them, unconscious, with a large bloody lump on its head.
"Great, we don't have to fight this troll anymore." Harry whispered. They cautiously straddled the troll's thick legs. "Let's go, I'm out of breath."
Liu Jialu covered her nose and held a wand "Ingardium Leviosa" The big stick of the troll flew up and landed again, and then another bloody lump rose, and the two echoed each other like a bunch of horns.
Harry silently praised this Liu Jialu
However, under this stench, they didn't want to stay longer, and directly opened the next door.
Of the four, the traversers had already guessed what it was, Snape's stuff, only a table with seven bottles of different shapes lined up on it.
"Snape's magic," Harry said, "what should we do?"
"It should be a test of intelligence and reasoning logic, so that the top students can do it"
As soon as the four of them crossed the threshold, a flame rose from behind them, sealing the doorway. The flame was unusual: it was purple.
At the same time, black flames burst out from the doorway leading to the front. They were trapped in the middle.
"Harry and Guo Shuai stand down, Hermione, let's do it"
The two boys retreated silently, this kind of thing is really not what they are good at, and the traverser also has a vague memory, and Guo Shuai doesn't remember whether it was poison or something.
"Look!" Hermione and Carrot grabbed a roll of parchment that had been placed next to the bottle. Harry and Guo Shuai stood behind them.
Two loli read aloud with a glutinous voice:
Danger is in sight, safety is in the rear. Two of us can help you.
Drink them down, one will lead you forward, and the other will send you back to where you came.
Two of them are filled with nettle wine. Three are killers and are waiting in line.
Choose, unless you want to be here forever.
We also provide four clues to help you choose:
First, however cunning the poisons may be, they are always on the left side of the nettle wine;
Second, the contents of the bottles at the left and right ends are different, and neither of them will work for you if you want to move forward;
Thirdly, you will find that the bottles are of different sizes, and that there is no Grim Reaper hidden in the giants and gnomes;
Fourth, the second on the left and the second on the right, although the appearance is different, the taste is the same.
Hermione let out a long sigh, Harry was surprised to see that she actually smiled, and Liu Jialu also bared her teeth and hugged Hermione, "Haha, this question Snape is so funny, there are many such problems in the Muggle world like dogs"
But in the face of such logic, Harry and Guo Shuai covered their faces silently, unable to laugh no matter what.
No~!
It's really embarrassing~!
"Wonderful,"
"It's not magic – it's logical reasoning – it's a riddle. Many of the greatest wizards have no ability to reason logically, and they are trapped here forever. ”
Harry interjected, "What are we going to do next?"
Hermione pointed to the scroll and said, "All we need to know is written on this piece of paper." Seven bottles: three are poisons; two are wine; One will allow us to pass safely through the black flames, and the other will send us back through the purple flames. ”
"But how do we know which one to drink?"
"Give me a minute."
Hermione read the piece of paper a few more times. She walked up and down the row of bottles, muttering to herself as she pointed to this or that bottle.
"Hermione, do you have an answer?"
"Lulu, you actually have the answer to this question."
"Yes, but I'll leave the answer to you, we'll just be responsible for the answer."
"It's okay"
"Got it," she said, "this smallest bottle will help us get through the black flames - to the Philosopher's Stone." ”
Harry looked at the inconspicuous little bottle.
"There's only enough for one person to drink," he said, "and it's less than a sip." ”
They looked at each other.
"Which bottle will make you go back through the purple flames?"
Hermione gestured to a sleek bottle on the far right.
"You drink that bottle."
"Harry, you don't need so many people to go back, it's very good to go back with Jialu, I'm here to watch"
"But"
"It's nothing, just do it, if something happens to Harry, I might be able to find a way here, and if you move in to help the soldiers, I'll be saved, right, Harry"
"That's right"
"Go back and find Ron, Yao Shunyu and them - grab a few brooms from the room with the keys flying, and they will carry you through the trapdoor and past Lou Wei - go straight to the owl eagle's hut and send Hedwig to deliver a message to Dumbledore, we need him to help. I may be able to contain Snape for a while, but I'm no match for him. ”
"But Harry—what if the mystery is with him?"
"Hmm—I've gotten away with it once before, remember?" Harry pointed to the scar on his forehead and said, "I might be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”
"Harry—you know what, you're a great wizard." Hermione hugged Harry.
Liu Jialu also took the opportunity to give Harry a mouthful, "Kiss one to give you encouragement"
Guo Shuai pointed to himself, "What about me?" ”
"Roll"
There was no room for delay, and Harry pointed to Hermione and Carrot Lau
"You drink first," said Harry, "can you be sure of these two bottles, you can't be mistaken?"
"Absolutely not." Hermione said. She took a big sip from the round bottle on the right, shook her whole body, and then handed it to Liu Jialu, who also took a sip and trembled.
"It's not poison, is it?" Harry asked worriedly.
"It's not—but it's like ice, and it's bitterly cold."
"Well, it seems that I have eaten a lot of ice cream, Meizizi, and I don't have a big aunt yet."
Guo Shuai covered his head, "Lady, lady"
"Roll"
"Hurry up, let's go, it won't work in a while."
"Good luck - be careful—"
"Let's go!"
Hermione and Liu Jialu turned around and walked straight through the purple flames.
Harry took a deep breath and grabbed the smallest bottle. He turned to face the black flames.
Guo Shuai patted Harry's shoulder, "Good brother, be careful, if there is any accident, shout loudly"
"Got it, but if you have any accidents, you can run, you can't die here in vain"
Harry glanced inside the flames, "I'm coming." With that, he drank the liquid from the vial in one gulp.
It was indeed like ice, seeping through his whole body at once. He put down the bottle and walked forward.
He plucked up his courage and saw the black flames licking his body, but he felt nothing—at that moment, he couldn't see anything, only black flames in front of him—and he made his way to the other side, into the last room.
There were already two of them—not Snape, not even Voldemort.
