Chapter Forty-Seven: Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve, Brie returns to the corner tower after feasting on a not-so-tasty turkey in the hall.
Now Brie's strength can use magic to temporarily open a passage to accept owls in the corner tower with a powerful ignoring spell, so his gifts have been sent here, compared to Brie's gifts, there are only a lot more, and they are very attentive.
And there are some windfalls.
"Why did Hermione give me a new pair of dragon skin gloves, it's not cheap."
Could it be that Hermione had found out that Brie had put her on the Quidditch team in the first place, and now she was starting to repay herself, Brie couldn't help but laugh and think.
This girl is obviously enjoying it, and it is absolutely not okay to read boringly.
Brie, who speculated on Hermione's thoughts, felt that it was better not to do useless work, who could guess a girl's thoughts, even if she was Hermione; And Cedric's delivery is much more normal, and it is also magical, it is a plant that produces transparent fruits, and I heard that the taste is the same as green apple pie.
"Ah, Brie, you really gave me a brand new cleaning kit and a bronze tray!" Furr excitedly opened his gift box and scurried around the box, constantly pulling out cleaning tools from the gift box with a temporary unmarked stretching spell, and the bronze lamp plate had been placed under the bronze lamp.
"I was going to buy you a dress, but who made you a male snake." Brie shrugged and tossed aside the gift from Malfoy, which was a Quidditch 200 gold Galleon voucher to buy any model of broomstick.
The wizarding world even got a promotional coupon!
After unpacking all the gifts, Brie enjoyed the ceremony.
But why did most of the Slytherins send him gifts?
"I'll go out and you help me put these gifts away, Verre."
"Go, go, I'll take care of it."
Brie cast a Ignore Charm and a Manifestation Charm on himself, and began to walk towards the fourth floor, he walked through the armor corridor, and soon crossed the prize display room to the forbidden area.
The torches flickered and flickered around, and it was clear that Filch didn't pay much attention to cleaning the place, the walls were covered in dust, and the wooden door was conspicuous, and Brie couldn't forget the panic she had when she faced Snape.
"Sometimes the necessary adventures lead to some answers, are there any Philosopher's Stones here?"
Brie thought uncertainly, the Philosopher's Stone was an important treasure after all.
"Alaho Cave Open!" The door was locked, and it looked like there would still be some protection, but for Brie, who could spell, it was like papier-mâché, and a lockpicking spell would be solved.
"If he really wants to protect the Philosopher's Stone, why doesn't Dumbledore carry it himself, is he afraid of sleeping on his ass, hehe?"
Brie vigilantly pushed open the door and saw a three-headed dog sleeping soundly.
As if smelling a strange and familiar scent, the heads of the three-headed dog opened their eyes one by one, and then looked at Brie in surprise and stuck out their tongues.
They are very close to Brie!
The last time they were petrified by Brie without showing kindness at the first time, this time they learned to be smarter, and immediately showed a well-behaved look when they saw Brie.
Brie was pleased, and also understood that this was because of the power of natural affinity, since he was a child, he was loved by animals and plants, and the breeze and drizzle of nature would be especially gentle to him, but he didn't expect magical creatures to be close to him, just like magic plants.
"Stop!"
Brie looked at the three-headed dog's huge three heads and was about to lick him with a haggy tongue, his face turned cold, fortunately the three-headed dog was not unable to communicate, otherwise Brie would have to cast a spell to petrify it.
Feeling the magic of some riot around Brie, the three-headed dog seemed to be threatened, slowly retreated, gave way to Brie, and then lay on the ground aggrieved.
Looking at the three stupid faces of the three-headed dog, Brie couldn't help but sigh that the dog's three brains were not very good, and it was not unreasonable to use them to watch the door.
Pulling the trapdoor open with a levitation charm, Brie looked down at the straight, pitch-black cavern below, using fluorescent flickering, faintly discerning vines that swayed uneasily when they touched the light.
"It's the devil's vine, and now it's a net, and it's convenient to catch the people who want to go down?"
Brie said strangely, and then carefully jumped over, using the growth charm to control a devil vine to grow quickly, and caught him, because of the affinity, these devil vines did not hurt Brie at all, and saved him a lot of trouble.
"Isn't this the giant devil vine that Sprout transplanted at the time?" Brie remembers that Professor Sprout had given him a small box in the flower garden, and the devil vine had shrunk and taken away in the alchemy pot that Dumbledore had given him.
"Dumbledore brought it?"
Brie continued walking with a strange expression, could it be that Dumbledore was worried that Quirrell would fall to his death?
Immediately afterward, Brie's face became even more strange, because when he cautiously pushed open the door in front of him, there was a large group of winged keys in the back room, constantly spinning and jumping in the air, dancing and shadowing?
Please forgive Brie's adjective, because he couldn't find anything more stupid.
Brie is dazzled by the glittering silver keys, and there are a few old broomsticks that look exactly like the one you took in flying lessons!
"Hopefully, Dumbledore is trying to use these broomsticks to break apart to make Quirrell let his guard down, rather than riding up to the sky to find the key."
Brie thanked him so much, and then unleashed the lock spell with all his might, the lock on the door was magically opened, and if the average little wizard would definitely not be able to open it through the spell, this look was not for Quirrell.
Walking through the key room, the room behind is a huge game of wizard chess, the chess pieces are majestic, delicate and elegant, and the patterns are delicate...... Brie could find many beautiful words to describe it, because it was Professor McGonagall's handiwork, she liked to depict details and lines the most, and I had heard that senior exams relied on this grade, of course, this meant a passing grade, and some idiot would be good if he could make a difference.
"I didn't really know Professor McGonagall had such a bad taste, but I have to say it's a powerful magic, and it's in good order."
This gave Brie a better understanding of Professor McGonagall's strengths, which Brie couldn't do now.
Brie walked as he spoke, but the spell in his hand was unambiguous, and one by one the upside-down golden bells with all his might hung up the huge chess pieces and went straight through the chessboard.
Although Brie wanted to follow the rules, this was not a competition, and no one ruled that he could not use other powers.
"It's just a game."
Brie feels insulted, he's ready to take on dangerous traps and evil monsters, brave the secret realm to get the treasure, and now she's showing him this!
"Gross!" The smell of trolls......
Brie looked at the troll staring at him in a daze, and felt very familiar......
Silently cast several scent freshening spells, Brie directly fixed the still confused troll with a petrification charm, and took the mallet from its hand with a flying charm, and then used the levitation charm to control the mallet to slam the troll's head.
"Bump!"
Brie's petrification spell was not very powerful, and with the beating of the mallet, it was ineffective, and the troll's head was swollen with a large lump, and it fell to the ground without knowing whether it was alive or dead, the troll should be grateful for Merlin's kindness, and Brie had no idea of killing it for the time being.
Skirting the troll, Brie came to what looked like a potions display room, with seven strangely shaped bottles on the table, and when he walked into the room, a purple flame suddenly appeared behind him, and black flames erupted from the passage in front of him.
"Snape also plays a game of intellect?" Brie picked up the parchment on the table, and it was written how to get through the method here, all it took was a small logical idea and a brain that was not from a different source than the troll.
"I guess the ultimate treasure won't be Dumbledore's floral dress!"
This is simply fishing law enforcement, if you don't want to die a tragic death, don't approach here, I'm afraid that the three-headed dog watching the gate on the outside is the real big BOOS.
Brie shouted angrily, "Protect them all! ”
A blue light gushed out from Brie's body, a protective spell that unfolded a shield when cast, effectively defending against danger in a certain area.
The powerful magic support allowed Brie to jump directly past the black flame and reach the final room.
However, there is nothing here.
Brie's head hurts.
"Damn Dumbledore, I should have poked a few holes in the woollen socks I gave you!"
Brie looked at it again and again, but still found nothing.
"I'm stupid, who would really put the Philosopher's Stone outside, or maybe the time has not come?"
"What are you waiting for, Dumbledore!"
Brie walked out of the room, looked at the table of potions and was very angry, and then unceremoniously tore up the parchment, according to this logic, arranged a complex high school math function problem for the latecomer, and then changed the position of the potion according to the answer to the question, which Brie saw from An Qing's memory in his mind before, as if it was his original college entrance examination question.
Because of An Qing's resentment against the college entrance examination question, Brie also remembers the question vividly.
Angrily going to the room below, Brie viciously put a powerful slumber spell on the troll, and moved to the entrance of the next level, and also designed a mechanism, as long as someone steps next to the troll, it will wake up the troll, the mallet was also stuffed into the troll's hand, and the use of the transformation charm to change the properties of the material and the shape of the appearance, I believe that those who see the troll wake up will be surprised by the combination of steel and spikes.
With a strong supply of mana, I believe that this transformation technique will not be invalid this semester.
Brie then carefully put the chess pieces down, and then did not hesitate to break a few of our chess pieces, so that it was challenging, and by the way, a few permanent adhesion spells were installed on the feet of several chess pieces, I believe that these chess pieces will not be able to walk, but the opponent's chess pieces are not old weapons, which is not fair at all......
Walking to the room full of flying keys, Brie pulls out a lot of broom branches!
So that there can be the thrill of flying, and in those keys of flying......
