0062 The Truth of the Three Trials
Soon, the little witch found the potion that allowed them to pass through the flames.
Harry picked up the bottle and shook it, there was too little potion in it.
"Hermione, which bottle will get you back?"
"This." Hermione gestured to the round bottle on the far right.
Hearing that Harry was thinking of sending her back again, the little witch picked up the bottle and threw it the ground.
"Smack." The bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and a cold smell permeated the air.
"Hermione, ...... you" Harry stared at the ground dumbfounded, the little witch's actions were beyond his expectations, making the words he had just thought of completely meaningless.
"Don't try to persuade me to go back, let's say we'll come together and go together." The last sentence reminded Hermione of Ron, and she lowered her head, her eyes a little dark.
But then the little witch looked up again, cheering herself up in her heart, Ron had paved the way for the two of them with her own sacrifice, and it was time for them to fulfill their vows, and she would not allow herself to back down.
Harry pulled the cork and brought the bottle to his eyes, and it was so black that he couldn't see anything, like the color of the flames in front of him.
"It's not that I want you to stay, Hermione. The antidote in the bottle may not be enough for two people. Harry handed the small black bottle over to show that he was right.
"You know what? Ani was a very erudite person. Although it often felt like he wasn't skilled in the use of some spells, it really taught me a lot. ”
Perhaps in order to relieve the tension in her heart, the little witch kept thinking about it.
"He told me that long before wands were invented, wizards would use magical materials to aid in spell casting, and even many wizards do it today."
As she spoke, Hermione pointed her wand at the mouth of the bottle, and a trace of the potion was pulled out.
"While the invention of the wand made it easier for wizards to cast spells, it undeniably made magic less powerful."
The potion that floated out of the bottle became less and less, and the little witch moved more and more carefully.
"Some special magic, even today, still needs to be used with materials, such as the Floo Net, which is used by almost every British wizard, in addition to the wizard to provide magic, Floo powder is also essential."
At this time, the bottle was empty, and a small ball of liquid liquid floated in front of the black flames.
"There are also some types of magic that can be enhanced when cast with materials, but this is not the case with all modern magic, and it is likely that unpredictable things will happen if you mix magic materials indiscriminately."
"Harry, come here." Hermione and Harry stood side by side behind the potion, facing the portal closed by black flames.
"Luckily, last year Aini taught me a few spells to avoid danger, all of which are the kind of magic that is not very difficult, but can rely on external forces to exert stronger effects, and today it can come in handy."
"Get ready, Harry." After making a final reminder, Hermione lit the liquid ball in front of her with her wand in her hand.
"The flames dissipated."
A blue curtain of light floated out from the tip of the Little Witch's wand, enveloping the front, and the effect was immediate—a large gap in the black flames.
"Let's go." Hermione slapped the boy inside, and then quickly stepped into the next room.
Seeing them, Aini unconsciously raised her eyebrows, and there was a deviation from the original book again.
As Harry had expected, the antidote in the black vial was indeed only enough for one person, and the previous level was designed for them by Dumbledore.
The three-headed dog Luwe was trying to control their time, and Harry and James Potter were so similar in personality that Dumbledore didn't think he could resist the scratching of a kitten in his chest and give up exploring the secrets under the trapdoor.
Father and son were both adventurous at heart, even without Snape, Quirrell, or Voldemort. Harry would also find other excuses to convince himself to enter the trapdoor to find out.
If he had known how to deal with Lu Wei in advance, he might have found out that the trapdoor had been locked until today......
It's still the kind that even if you add C4, Alajo can't open it.
An old man on the eighth floor of Hogwarts was bad.
The devil's net below is not a level at all, just to prevent the three of them from falling and getting hurt.
The first room allowed the young wizard to play with broomsticks underground, which was really Dumbledore's helplessness.
The little savior's performance after entering school was not as dazzling as his parents, at most it was at the level of mediocrity and mutual dislike, which made the old headmaster very sad.
Given the circumstances in which Harry grew up, if Dumbledore still wanted him to go step by step as he expected, he had to help his intended "savior" to accompany the tree of faith.
If Harry had been making soy sauce the whole time, it would obviously not have been able to satisfy Dumbledore.
Thinking about it, I couldn't think of anything else that only Harry could do, and Hermione and Ron couldn't replace.
Except for Quidditch.
After communicating with Professor Flitwick, the style of the first level was determined.
And with the talent Harry is showing now, in the future plans, it will not work alone, and it is necessary to have reliable companions.
Just like in an old heroic novel, the protagonist will always meet a noble-born, beautiful woman who can provide him with a lot of help.
At the same time, there must be a friend from a humble background and extraordinary talents, who can help him deal with a lot of troubles, and because of the difference in background, it will not completely overshadow the light of the protagonist.
Dumbledore thought that Hermione was a good candidate, talented, hardworking, and Muggle-born, so he could do the role of Hermione.
And Ron is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the former.
Born into the ancient Weasley family, the family's tentacles have long extended to all aspects of the wizarding world, and the benefits to their subsequent actions are immeasurable.
The mediocrity of his own talents would not hinder Dumbledore's confidence in Harry.
Best of all, the red-haired boy is still the child of Molly and Arthur, both in terms of reliability and mental bias, which is enough to firmly occupy the first spot.
The second level naturally needs to be tailored to him.
For Ron, Dumbledore does not have too high a requirement for strength, so the test for him is his heart.
In fact, chess strength is not the key to passing the second level, and choosing wizard chess as the topic on the surface is just to make Ron stand in the position of a chess player logically.
No matter how he controls the pieces, no matter which piece he chooses, he will eventually face the choice at the end of the second level.
And if Ron deliberately behaves in the chess game, or fails to pass the final test, and chooses to save himself and sacrifice his companions, the white chess pieces will knock him down by "mistake", and then automatically admit defeat due to the violation, and let Harry and Hermione pass the level.
