Chapter 44: The Brave Adventure
Water droplets ticked down the walls, and footsteps stirred up dust in the hallway, and everyone slowly descended the hallway. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Listen! there's going on up ahead?" Hermione asked in a whisper, slowing her pace.
Everyone immediately lightened their steps and raised their ears, and there was a soft rustling sound in front of them.
"Is it a ghost?"
"It's like something is flapping its wings. ”
"Just ahead, I saw something moving. ”
They walked through the hallway to the end, where they saw a bright hall with a high, arched ceiling overhead. Countless dazzling birds fluttered their wings like jewels through the hall, and a thick wooden door was closed opposite.
"Will the birds attack us when we walk through the halls?" Ron looked around at the birds, a little suspicious.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet, go up and test it slowly. George had already put on his armor and walked forward tentatively, the birds showing no interest in him along the way. He quickly walked over to the closed door, pushing and pulling, but the door did not move. I tried the lock-picking spell with my wand, but nothing happened.
Seeing that there was no danger on the road, Harry and the three of them came over one by one.
"What to do?" Ron stepped forward and twisted the doorknob.
"What might these birds do. Hermione turned her head to look at the birds in the air.
"It's not a bird, it's a key. A light flashed through Harry's mind, and he thought of the key. He looked around and saw a few broomsticks in the corner. "Look, there's a broomstick here, and we're flying up to find the key to get out, it should be a little different from the others. ”
With that, Harry had already mounted his broomstick and began to look for the key.
"There are so many keys here. Ron grunted, but grabbed a broom and lifted it into the air, following Harry into the group of keys.
When George saw that Harry and Ron had already gone up, he didn't follow him, and was on guard on the ground to guard against possible accidents.
Harry's talent for flying is truly extraordinary, and he is very good at finding targets. He thought to himself, this will not be more difficult than catching a golden snitch, and sure enough, it was only a few minutes, "I saw it, there, sky blue wings, feathers down the side, it seems to have been caught once." ”
"Ron, you're on it, I'll grab it. Harry motioned for Ron to surround him, and he swooped down to catch up with the key, and before it could react, it was already firmly in his hand.
He landed quickly and headed for the closed gate, the key in his hand still trying to struggle before he shoved it into the keyhole. Grabbing the key and twisting it, the door lock popped open. As soon as the door opened, the key flew away again, being caught twice, making it even more vulnerable.
The door was pushed open, and it was pitch black inside, and it was not until someone stepped in that the room suddenly became brightly lit, revealing a terrifying scene.
They were standing on a huge chessboard, with black chess pieces carved out of boulders, taller than people. And at the other end, opposite them are some white chess pieces.
"What should I do now?" asked Harry, who couldn't play chess, in a whisper.
"After playing chess, you can go to the other side. Ron looked around and said his guess.
"How do you play chess?" asked Hermione, nervously as she wasn't used to the huge battle in front of her.
"If you play chess, I'll be in charge, and I'm not very good at it, but when it comes to calculations, I won't lose to the professors at school. George thought for a moment, although he rarely played chess, but the advantage of reading a lot was that he knew a little bit of everything, and when it came to calculations, he would not believe that he would lose to a wizard who was poor in logic and mathematics.
George tried to get to the black knight's lattice, and saw that the stone was immediately coming to life, and the knight was sitting firmly on horseback, and the tall horse below him was pacing slowly.
"Let's each of you find a pawn instead, Ron for another knight, Harry for the Bishop, and Hermione for the castle. George groaned, and simply made a choice for everyone.
As soon as the words were finished, the two knights, a bishop, and a castle turned away from the chessboard, leaving their empty seats for the people in the field.
"When playing chess, white takes the first move first. By the time the four players in the field had returned to their respective positions, White had already begun to move with heavy steps.
George also began to command the black knights to deal with them one by one, George's chess strength is not very good, but the victory is strong enough in calculation, and the puppet on the opposite side has limited intelligence. After his careful calculations, he exchanged the pieces one by one, and most of the pieces were quickly captured on the other side.
As for his side, although he also lost a lot of chess pieces at this time, with George deliberately taking care of him, Harry and the three were all safe and sound, but their faces were slightly worse.
"Kind of scared, aren't you?" asked George in a whisper after the game had passed the game.
"It's a little scary, although it's a stone chess piece, it's really ruthless to move it. Harry's face was pale, his knees were still a little weak, and he remembered that the white flag had just knocked one black piece after another to the ground and dragged him out of the board, and he was still a little afraid, and he had passed by this scene several times.
"I find these spells taught to them getting stranger and stranger. After a lot of tests, George's feeling became more and more strange, "Are these games used to protect the Philosopher's Stone, or are they brave adventures?"
"Don't say it, it's like listening to you say that. "Hermione was bouncing around right now, trying to lighten her mind, and it was a special feeling to be on top of the chessboard as a pawn. Round by round, waiting for the opponent's chess pieces to attack, I saw that the chess pieces around me were attacked one by one and dragged away, and no one believed it if I was not in a nervous mood and my heart was beating faster.
"I don't know how Snape got through here, and there's no broken piece here. Ron was also apprehensive, and began to wonder how Snape had passed through here.
Thinking that Snape was already in front of them, everyone did not delay any longer, and continued through the gate and down a corridor.
"What's next for us?" the game took a little longer, and Harry was a little worried that Snape had already won.
"The Devil's Net is Sprout's trap, the magic on the key is designated as Flitwick's trick, and the chessboard just now is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration. If you continue, all that remains is Quirrell's magic, Snape's means, and finally Dumbledore. Hermione snapped her fingers, counting the follow-ups she would encounter.
"Oh, there are so many, I hope Snapbe has left from somewhere else. Ron sighed and said a disappointing possibility.
