Chapter 63: A Door That Magic Can't Open
"Thanks to how serious you are in your herb class, Louis. www.biquge.info Harry said as he stepped back to Louis as Hermione did, wiping the sweat from his face.
"He could have warned us sooner!" Ron said indignantly. He was angry that Louis hadn't told them earlier, and he thought that Louis was trying to kill them on purpose.
Come on, Ron, if it wasn't for Louis telling us how to fix that, you would have been killed by it. Hermione said.
"Oh, yes, we almost strangled us and didn't do anything, just watched and nagged. Ron scoffed. He really felt that Louis was deliberately cheating him, otherwise why didn't Louis just use magic to save them?
"I made it clear at the beginning, when you come in, listen to me, I told you not to move, how did you do that?" asked Louis.
"yes, Ron, don't resist there, let those damn vines exhaust you!" Ron shouted. After almost being strangled to death by a vine, he seemed very irritable.
"Ron, if you've listened carefully in class, you should know that the Devil's Web will strangle living creatures. However, if you don't move, it will wrap around you for a while and it will let go of you. Hermione said coldly.
"Oh yes, a good student combination of Gryffindor and Slytherin. Ron said as he looked at Louis and Hermione, who were singing and harmonizing.
Seeing that Louis seemed to be angry, Harry pulled Ron's robe and motioned for him to stop talking.
He pointed to a stone corridor and said, "Look, there's a road here, let's go." So, he pulled Ron and walked forward.
Seeing that Ron was pulled away by Harry, Louis didn't say anything, and he and Hermione followed them forward.
"Did you hear anything?" said Louis, who stopped abruptly.
Hermione paused to listen carefully. There was a soft rustling and clanging sound from ahead.
"Could it be a ghost?"
"I don't know...... I seemed to hear the sound of wings stirring. ”
"There's no dragon in there, right?"
"There's a bright light ahead..... I seemed to see something. ”
They came to the end of the hallway, in front of which was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling. Countless small birds that were as brilliant as gems flapped their wings and flew around the room.
"You say, if I run to open the door, will they attack me?" asked Harry in a whisper.
"Possibly," Hermione replied, "they don't look terrible, but there are a lot of them, if they all attack you all at once..."
"Damn, there's no time to think about it, Snape must have cleared it. Harry took a deep breath as he spoke, and then he quickly rushed to the door with his hand over his head.
Harry had expected a long beak or pointed claw to tear him apart in his path, but it was magically uneventful. Unscathed, he came to the door and pulled the handle, but it didn't move.
At this time, Louis and the others followed. Seeing that the door wouldn't open, Hermione tried the Alaho Cave Spell again, a spell designed to open locked doors. However, it was clear that the door had been enchanted with a defensive spell, so her spell was of no use at all.
