Chapter 194: Into the Graveyard (4-in-1 Chapter)
Just after the Ball, most of the students were still immersed in the joy of last night, and I have to say that the management of Hogwarts is still relatively strict, at least after yesterday's Ball, there was no large number of children who said goodbye to virgins.
In the afternoon, Hermione went to class, and Lin Xiao continued to live in Hogwarts as Jax, he usually studied telekinesis magic, and spent three hours in the evening instructing Hermione, occasionally he would relax and wander around Hogwarts, or watch the hapless students being scolded by Snape.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one day left in January, and seeing that February was coming, the time for the second competition was getting closer and closer.
Fortunately, Hermione had already found the secret of the golden egg some time ago, and this secret was not told to her by Harry, in fact, she found it a day before Harry, and she accidentally discovered it while taking a bath.
However, although the secret of the golden egg was found, Hermione did not know much about the specific content of the second mission, and the only thing she guessed was that she would need to stay underwater for a long time, which was not difficult for her at all.
Look for us, where our voices sound, we can't sing on the ground. As you search, think carefully: we've snatched your most beloved treasure. You have only one hour to find and retrieve what we have taken, and after an hour there is no hope, it is completely gone, never to be seen.
This is the content of the sound that appears when the golden egg is placed underwater, according to the literal meaning, Hermione needs to stay underwater for at least an hour, and she will have a beloved treasure that will be placed somewhere underwater, and then she needs to find it, and maybe if she can't find it, she may lose it forever.
But what kind of treasure could that be?
No matter how clever Hermione was, she couldn't have imagined that she had attached the 'baby' to something from the beginning, and it didn't occur to her that the 'baby' might be referring to someone. A friend who was very close to her.
......
February 24th is a special day.
For all the students who have stayed at Hogwarts, this is another rare spectacle!
Black Lagoon.
Lin Xiao didn't know that the lake would be called the Black Lake, its water was not black at all, and it was a strange name.
Standing in the middle of the judges, Bagman took a step forward, holding his wand to his throat and casting a 'loud voice' spell that would make his voice hearable to all.
"Listen, our warriors are in place. I whistled. The second project began. They had a full hour to reclaim what had been snatched from their hands. I counted to three. One...... Two...... Three!"
Shrill whistles echoed through the cold, still air, and cheers and applause erupted in the stands.
Hermione cast a bubble spell that enveloped her entire head.
The next moment she jumped into the lake with a 'poof', and in the blink of an eye she was gone.
There are a large number of aquatic plants growing under the water of the Black Lake, and the roots of these aquatic plants are thick and tough, and if one is accidentally entangled, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble.
Hermione swam through the aquatic grass forest and suddenly... She looked behind her. She seemed to feel something swim behind her.
"I heard that there are fishmen living under the Black Lake, I wonder if it's true?" Hermione thought to herself, but her hands didn't stop, still paddling forward.
Shore. Lin Xiao chatted with Dumbledore next to him without a word, he was not worried about Hermione, this second game among the three games can be said to be the most relaxed, and the competition is who finds it first and takes the shortest. Unless you save your own mission target like Harry did, you still want to save another one, so you will be attacked by those fishmen.
As for Fleur, it can only be said that she herself is unlucky. That's just that the spell is not good enough, and being lightly frightened is like this, and people don't have much of her.
Sure enough, only ten minutes had passed, and Hermione surfaced, holding another person in one hand besides her.
It was a Gryffindor schoolgirl, and she was also her roommate in the same room as Hermione, and the two usually had a good relationship, and the reason why they chose her was because Dumbledore and they really didn't know who else they could choose.
Ron had to leave it to Harry, and Hermione's last dance partner at the Christmas Ball was Lin Xiao, so they couldn't let Lin Xiao be the object of the rescue, so they had to settle for the next best thing and chose this Hermione roommate.
Hermione was the first to go ashore, waited until she had been ashore for a while before the second came up, then the third.
Of course, there was actually one person who was better than Hermione, but she didn't succeed in rescuing her target, so she was definitely going to be ranked in Zuihou.
Seeing that the other four people had already come up, the time was getting closer and closer to the hour's time limit, but there was still no Harry on the lake.
"Teacher, nothing will happen to Harry, will he?" Hermione looked at the lake with a worried expression.
"Rest assured, he'll be here soon. Lin Xiao said with a smile, "And I don't have to rob you of the first." β
Hermione looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of the teacher's words.
Obviously Harry is a zuihou one, how can it be possible to steal his first place?
But Hermione didn't care if Harry would steal her first place, he was a good friend of her anyway, as long as he wasn't robbed by the other three.
"Oh, it's out!" Lin Xiao suddenly looked at the lake and said.
"Where?" Hermione quickly turned her head to look, and then she heard an explosion, and the water splashed on the surface of the lake, followed by several black shadows rushing up from under the water.
Hermione took a closer look, and the three dark shadows that burst out of the water turned out to be Harry, Ron, and the little girl from Beauxbatons.
"Oh my God~!, he saved two people!" Hermione exclaimed and ran over.
At this time, the others also walked over, and Dumbledore and several other referees arrived first.
Fleur, who had landed early in the morning, was excitedly expressing her gratitude to Harry, and the shameless Ron on the side also took the opportunity to get a free kiss, looking at the boys on the side with envy.
Later, after the discussion of Dumbledore and other judges, it was finally decided to award the second place to Harry, who bravely rescued two people, and the reason why he was not given the first place was because Hermione's speed was too fast, and he reached the place where the hostages were tied to the bottom of the lake earlier than Harry. So after discussion, he was given a second place.
In this way, the first and second names of the second game actually fell on the side of Hogwarts, and both of them were from Gryffindor House, which made all the Gryffindor students who heard the news walk high for a long time to come, as if they were the ones who won the honor.
After the relatively simple second competition, Bagman announced the start time of the third competition, which was set for the evening of June 24, which was very close to the end of the school year, and I am afraid that the time will be over when the triwizard tournament is over after the first game. It's time for the school year to end.
But there are still four months to go until that day, and in those four months, the five warriors can be as prepared as possible for the challenges that will take place four months later.
Hermione is currently in the lead in the score, followed by Harry and Cedric, then Krum and Fleur.
Neither Karkaroff nor Maxim were very happy about the result, and the two had been grim-faced since the end of the second competition, and it was clear that three of the five Warriors were in the top three, while the Warriors from the two schools they had traveled so far were only ranked fourth and fifth, which made them feel very embarrassed.
But no matter how embarrassing they are, they can only accept it. Fortunately, there is still a competition for Zuihou, which is the real highlight, as long as Zuihou performs well, it cannot be said that they have missed the championship.
Once people get busy, they feel like time flies. Four months went by in the blink of an eye.
Today is June 24th, and in about ten hours it will be time for the Triwizard Tournament to begin, and after four months of preparation, the five warriors can say that they are absolutely ready to face this match.
The game is approaching. Harry and the others were sitting at the long table and discussing the evening's game over breakfast.
They don't know the exact details yet, but when they think about the fact that the tournament will take place at night, they know that it will definitely not be that simple. And in the third competition, it couldn't have been easy.
Hermione was holding a new issue of the Daily Prophet in her hand, the largest circulation newspaper in the British wizarding world.
She opened the newspaper, glanced at the front page, and sprayed a mouthful of pumpkin juice on the paper.
"What's wrong?" asked Harry and Ron as they stared at her.
"Nothing. Hermione hurriedly tried to hide the newspaper, but Ron snatched it up, glaring at the headline and saying, "No way, it's today, this old cow." β
"What?" asked Harry, "Rita Skeeter again?"
"It's not. Like Hermione, Ron wanted to hide the newspaper.
"Wrote about me, didn't you?" asked Harry.
"It's not. Ron said in a tone of utter disbelief. But before Harry could ask to read the paper, Draco Malfoy, who was on the Slytherin table at the end of the auditorium, screamed.
"Hey, Potter!Potter!How's your head? Are you alright? aren't going crazy at us, are you?" Malfoy also held a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, and the Slytherin students snickered and turned to see Harry's reaction.
"Show me," Harry said to Ron, "give it to me." β
Ron reluctantly handed over the newspaper, and Harry flipped through it to see his photograph with the headline:
Harry Potter -
Upset and emotionally dangerous
Guest correspondent Rita Skeeter reports: The boy who defeated the mystery man is emotionally unstable and can be quite dangerous. Recently, astonishing evidence has revealed Harry Potter's strange behavior, raising doubts about his suitability for a difficult competition such as the Triwizard Tournament, or even for Hogwarts.
According to the Daily Prophet, Potter was a frequent ill at school, telling people that the scar on his forehead was painful (the scar was the mark of the poison spell that the mysterious man had cast when he tried to kill him). During a divination class last Monday, a Daily Prophet reporter witnessed Potter rushing out of the classroom, saying that his scars hurt him and he couldn't continue his lessons.
Senior experts at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries say that Potter's brain may have been affected by Mystery's magic, and he insists that the scar is still painful, indicating that he is in a rather confused state of mind.
"He may have pretended to be, too. One expert said, "Maybe you want to get noticed." But the Daily Prophet also uncovered some disturbing facts about Harry Potter, which Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore had been careful to hide.
"Potter speaks Parseltongue," revealed Draco Malfoy, a fourth-year Hogwarts student, "and many students were attacked two years ago, most of whom believed that Potter was behind the attack because he had been seen in the dueling club to bite a boy. But these are all covered up. He also made friends with werewolves and giants. We think he can do anything for power. β
The Parseltongue (i.e., the ability to talk to snakes) has always been considered dark magic. In fact, the most famous Parseltongue of our time is none other than Mysterio himself. An unnamed member of the Defence Against the Dark Arts said he thought any Parseltongue wizard "is worth investigating, and I'm personally very skeptical of anyone who can talk to snakes." Because snakes are often used in the most vicious forms of black magic, and have historically been associated with bad guys. Similarly, "people who associate with evil creatures such as werewolves and giants are generally violent."
Albus Dumbledore should consider whether it would be appropriate to allow such a boy to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. There are fears that Potter will use the dark arts in his desire to win. The third event will be held tonight.
"Not so much of a favor with me, is it?" said Harry, flipping up the paper.
On Slytherin's side, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were all laughing at him. They knock their fingers on the door of their heads, make the weird appearance of madmen, and stick out their tongues like snakes.
"How did she know you had a scar in divination class?" Ron said, "There's no way she's here." It's impossible to hearβ"
"The windows are open. Harry said, "I opened the window to get some air." β
"You're on the top floor of the North Building!" Hermione said, "Your voice can't reach the field below!"
"Well, you're the one who studied eavesdropping magic!" said Harry. "Tell me how she knows!"
"I'm thinking!" said Hermione, "but...... But ......" Hermione's face suddenly appeared with a strange dreamlike expression, and she slowly raised a hand and stroked her hair.
"Are you alright?" Ron asked with a frown at her.
"It's fine. Hermione said, holding her breath. She brushed her hair again, then raised her hand to her mouth as if she were holding a walkie-talkie.
Harry and Ron looked at each other.
"I had an idea. Hermione stared blankly ahead and said, "I think I know...... Because then no one can see it...... Even Moody's can't see it...... She was able to climb onto the windowsill...... But this is not allowed...... This is absolutely not allowed...... I think we've got her!Give me two seconds - check it out at the library!" Before she could finish speaking, Hermione grabbed her bag and ran out of the auditorium.
"She's still so reckless. Ron looked at Hermione's back and said, "I don't think she'll ever change that." β
"Maybe she really knows something. "I mean, she's been learning from Mr. Jax, and Mr. Jax should have told her something like that." β
"Maybe. Ron said nonchalantly, "Harry, I envy you two for not having to take exams!"
As the Warriors of the Triwizard Tournament, neither Harry nor Hermione will have to take this year's exams, all they need to think about is to prepare hard and prepare for tonight's game.
And Ron couldn't have such a preferential treatment, especially since he himself hated exams very much, and if it were Hermione, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
"I'd rather go to the exam. Harry smiled wryly and said, "At least the exam won't make me so uneasy." β
Just as Harry was about to say something, he and Ron saw Professor McGonagall walking in this direction not far away.
"Potter, the warriors have finished breakfast and gathered in the conference room next to the auditorium. She said.
"But the game just started in the evening!" Harry thought he had misremembered the time as he accidentally spilled the scrambled eggs on his body.
"I know, Potter," Professor McGonagall said, "that relatives of the Warriors have been invited to watch the finals, and you can meet them. With that, she walked away.
Harry stared at her back in a daze.
"She doesn't think the Dursleys are coming, is she?" he asked Ron, blankly.
"I don't know. Ron said, "Harry, I need to get out of here." I'm going to be late for the exam. See you later. β
Harry finished his breakfast in the darkening auditorium. He saw Fleur Delacour get up from her Ravenclaw table and walk into the conference room with Cedric. After a while, Krum also went lazily.
Harry sat still, he really didn't want to go.
He had no relatives - no relatives who were willing to come and risk his life. But just as he stood up, intending to go to the library to study some spells, the door to the conference room opened, and Cedric poked his head out.
"Harry, come on, they're waiting for you!"
Harry stood up in confusion, there was no way the Dursleys were here.
He walked down the hall and pushed the door into the conference room. Cedric and his parents stood by the door. Victor Krum speaks fast Bulgarian to his dark-haired parents in a corner of the house, and he has inherited his father's hooked nose. On the other side, Fleur was chattering with her mother in French. Fleur's little sister Gabrielle holds her mother's hand. She waved at Harry, who also waved and grinned. A little past was Hermione, who had just run away, and she didn't know when Harry had arrived and was talking excitedly to her parents.
Then he saw Mrs. Weasley and Bill standing in front of the fireplace, looking at him with a smile on their facet.
"I didn't expect that!" said Mrs. Weasley enthusiastically.
Harry stepped forward with a smile, he really didn't expect Mrs. Weasley to return.
"We wanted to come and watch you play. Harry!" she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"How are you?" Bill smiled and shook Harry's hand, "Charlie wants to come too, but he can't leave." He said that the battle you had against the wasp was so exciting, it was incredible. β
Harry noticed Fleur Delacour looking over his mother's shoulder and looking at Bill with interest. It was evident that she was not at all averse to long hair and fanged earrings.
"You guys are so nice. Harry whispered to Mrs. Weasley, "I still want toβDursleyβ"
"Hmm. Mrs. Weasley pursed her mouth. She had always avoided criticizing the Dursleys in front of Harry, but every time she heard their names, her eyes fired.
"It's good to be back. Bill looks around the conference room and says (Fat Lady's girlfriend, Violet, winking at him in the frame), "I haven't seen this place in five years." Is the portrait of the mad knight still there?
"Oh, it's still there. Harry said. He had met Sir Cadogan last year.
"Where's the fat lady?" asked Bill.
"She was there when I was in school. Mrs. Weasley said, "One day I went back to my dorm at four o'clock in the morning, and she gave me a hard reprimandβ"
"What are you doing outside the dorm at four in the morning?" said Bill, looking at his mother in surprise.
Mrs. Weasley smiled, her eyes sparkling.
"I'm walking with your dad. He was captured by the housemaster at the time, Apollion Prinlo - your father still has his mark on him. β
"Take us around, Harry?" said Bill.
"Yes," Harry said.
They walked towards the door that led to the Great Hall, turning back as they passed Amos Diggory.
"Is that you?" he said, looking Harry up and down, "Cedric's score is catching up, you're not so arrogant, are you?"
"What?" asked Harry.
"Ignore him," Cedric whispered to Harry, frowning behind his father's back, "he's been angry after reading Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament - you know, the woman said you were the only Warrior at Hogwarts. β
"He didn't bother to correct her, did he?" said Amos Diggory as Harry walked out the door with Mrs. Weasley and Bill, "but...... You'll let him see, Seid. You've beaten him once, haven't you?"
"Rita Skeeter is all about nothing, Amos!" said Mrs. Weasley angrily, "You work in the Ministry, I thought you knew!"
Mr. Diggory seemed to want to get angry, but his wife put a hand on his arm, so he just shrugged his shoulders and turned away.
The warriors are enjoying a rare happy time with their families, and in the afternoon Hermione brought her parents to Lin Xiao and introduced Lin Xiao to the Grangers, although Lin Xiao is already very familiar with them, but the Granger couple is not the teacher of their daughter in front of them, and is still their pet cat.
Hermione didn't have to go to class all afternoon, and the rest of the students were taking exams. Only the warriors had time to spend time with their families, and Lin Xiao was also accompanied by Hermione to visit most of Hogwarts with their family, so they went to those more dangerous places.
The Granger couple were curious about the place where the wizards lived, and exclaimed in surprise when they saw the portraits walking around the frame.
For Muggles, everything around wizards was magical, and that day had allowed the Granger couple to see so much they hadn't known before.
Happy time always passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened, and Hermione and the five warriors were also asked to temporarily separate from their families and go to the rest area to prepare for Zuihou.
The venue for the game was the original Quidditch pitch, but at the moment the pitch had become a huge pitch that even acquaintances like Harry wondered if he had gone to the wrong place. It turned into a giant maze of plants.
In the stands, their families, students and professors were already seated, and several referees stood at the front, and Dumbledore told Harry to stand where he was, waiting for Zuihou's introduction before the game began.
After a brief introduction by Bagman, the plants at the entrance to the labyrinth automatically separated, revealing the deep passage inside.
"Alright, let's go inside. Lin Xiao said to Hermione beside him, "Everything is with me." Don't worry, just play with all your might!"
Hermione nodded, took a deep breath, and glanced at Harry beside her. Then he walked towards the entrance of the labyrinth.
The five warriors entered the labyrinth from different entrances, and Lin Xiao did not give Hermione any hints, he believed that Hermione would definitely be able to find the location of the trophy with her own skills.
'Whew~!'
A gust of wind blew, and the entrance to the labyrinth was completely sealed.
Hermione looked back at the closed entrance behind her. "It's okay, you can do it!"
Calming her nervousness, Hermione quickly drew her wand. A fluorescent flicker caused a soft glow on the tip of the wand, illuminating an area beneath his feet.
There was only one way forward in front of her, and there was nothing to choose at this time, so Hermione walked straight ahead.
She hadn't walked through the labyrinth, she had played the puzzle, and for this kind of game of luck and intelligence, Hermione was confident that she would never be worse than anyone else. When she reached the first fork, she stood at the junction and did not immediately choose a certain path, but waved her wand and unleashed a silvery white point of light.
"Magic Web Marker!"
This is a magic that Lin Xiao has only recently taught her, and its main function is to explore the way, and the maximum range can detect all corners within a radius of a hundred miles.
Of course, that was the limit that Lin Xiao could reach when he used it himself, and it was naturally impossible for Hermione to be so powerful.
The silver-white points of light floated in the three directions of front, left, and right, and soon disappeared at the end of the turn.
Hermione stood still until the points of light returned a few minutes later, and then she took a step towards the path to the left.
Along the way, Hermione almost relied on the magic of the magic web marker, and sometimes she had to make her own choice, after all, her strength was limited, and the magic net mark could not detect too far distances, and sometimes she had to choose one of them to move forward when several directions were not dead at the same time.
Strangely enough, she didn't meet the other four people along the way, and just as Hermione was wondering where they had gone, she suddenly looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a fiery red beam of light shot up into the sky and exploded directly in the sky.
It was a distress signal, and as long as this signal was given, professors would come to the rescue, but it also meant that the rescued object was disqualified from continuing the game.
"I wonder who it could be?" Hermione thought to herself, looking down.
Not long after the game began, someone sent out a distress signal, which made Hermione's heart become heavy.
Moving on, she couldn't help but be more cautious, and every step she took had to be carefully sure that there were no traps on the ground in front of her.
"Faint!"
"Huh?" Hermione stopped abruptly, pricking up her ears to listen.
"There are many obstacles!"
Another incantation, and Hermione could tell it was Harry's voice.
"It doesn't look like it was Harry who called for help. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment her heart lifted again.
Harry was working magic, so it was clear that he was in danger, or he wouldn't have been.
"No, I'll have to go over and take a look!" Hermione quickened her pace.
After a few minutes, she was where the voice had come from, and she noticed nothing but a few signs of battle on the ground. There was no Harry here.
"He shouldn't have gone far. Hermione continued walking, she had only been walking for a few minutes, when suddenly she heard a loud bang in her ears, followed by a dark green magical beam that slashed in front of her eyes, hitting some plants not far away.
"It's ...... Heart-Drilling!" Hermione stood in surprise as she quickly reacted and quickly poked her head out to look in the direction where the Heart-Drilling Spell had come from.
She finally saw the others, it was Victor and Cedric, and she also saw Harry hiding on the other side, everyone else was here except for Fleur.
Go without saying. That distress signal must have been from Fleur, Hermione thought to herself.
"Drill the heart and scrape the bones!"
It was another Mind Drill, and Hermione could see that Victor didn't have much research on the Heart Drill, and his technique was very jerky.
In fact, he had just sneaked up on Cedric, but Cedric had discovered and dodged it, the same Mind Drilling Spell that had flown past Hermione's eyes earlier.
"Faint!" Harry rushed out, pointing his wand at Victor.
"Faint!"
The same fainting spell canceled out Harry's magic in mid-air, and Victor's dead grey eyes looked at Harry with a terrifying expression on his face.
By this time, Cedric had fallen to the ground, and the second Mind Curse struck him. He experienced the pain he had never experienced in his life, and at this moment he felt that he had no strength to get up.
"Victor, what are you doing?" Harry shouted at Victor.
However, Victor ignored him, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned and ran.
Harry looked at it. He was hesitating to attack the fleeing Victor, when a magical beam suddenly flew past his ear and directly hit the fleeing Victor.
"It's all petrified!"
The petrification spell was cast by Hermione.
Harry turned his head. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Hermione.
"Scared the hell out of me, Victor seemed to be crazy. Harry said, patting his chest.
At this point he walked up to Cedric and reached out to pull him up.
"Are you alright?" asked Harry.
Cedric still had a pained expression on his face. He shook his head softly when he heard Harry's words.
"It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable. He said.
"You'll be glad Victor hasn't studied much about the Mind Curse. Hermione also walked over at this time, she looked at the petrified Victor over there, and said, "He must have been under the Imperius Curse, and someone is controlling him to attack you." β
"Someone is controlling him, who is it?" Harry and Cedric turned their heads to look at Hermione.
Hermione, however, shook her head, "I don't know, but I'm certainly not a good person." β
Harry and Cedric smiled helplessly, they also knew that the other party must not be a good person, otherwise how could they use the Imperius Charm to control Victor, and attack them with the Diamond Heart Curse.
"Are we going to leave him here?" Harry asked suddenly, pointing to Victor who had fallen to the ground.
"Send a distress signal, you can't let him just lie here. Hermione said as she waved her wand into the sky, and suddenly a fiery red beam of light shot into the sky.
"Alright, let's go. β
The two nodded, and no longer looked at Victor over there, and walked directly to the other side.
The next three did not separate, Hermione and Harry are good friends, so naturally there is no need to go separately, and Cedric has just been rescued by Harry, and he also regards him as a friend in his heart, so he did not put forward the idea of going apart.
As for Harry, he hadn't thought about it at all.
As she continued to move forward, Hermione showed Harry and Cedric what true pathfinding magic was, and her magic web mark was much better than Cedric and Harry's methods, and they both looked envious.
"It's good to have a good teacher!" Cedric looked enviously at Hermione, who was walking in front, sadly realizing that he and Harry had become supporting characters, even though he seemed to be a supporting character in the first place.
"You have a good father, too. Harry said.
"Dumbledore takes good care of you, too. Cedric said with a smile.
The two were chatting in the back, but Hermione, who was walking in front, cast a magic net mark every time she reached an intersection, and nearly half an hour passed in this way.
Finally, they found that there was only one road left in front of them, some distance away. All three of them saw the fluorescent trophy in the deepest part of the road.
The three of them stopped in unison and turned their heads to look at each other.
"How about running together and seeing who's the first to get it?" Cedric suggested.
Hermione and Harry nodded without much thought.
"So... Let's go!"
The three of them rushed out almost at the same time, although Hermione was a girl, but Lin Xiao had been preparing some physical medicine and food for her during this time, and she was not inferior to Harry in terms of physical strength.
Originally, Cedric should have run faster than the two because of his age, but he was hit by Victor's heart curse before, although it is much better now, but this will still affect his performance. So for a while, the speed of the three of them was almost the same.
'ε»~!''ε»~!''ε»~!'......
Just as the three of them were running wildly, thick vines suddenly stretched out from the roots of the plants on both sides of the passage, as if to prevent them from approaching the trophy, constantly trying to disturb them.
The three of them almost did everything they could to avoid the stumbling vines, and their speed slowed down greatly for a moment.
"Shattered bones!" Saidris cast a smashing spell that struck the vines in his way, but the effect was not as good as it should be.
"These guys are resistant to magic!" he shouted.
"Shadowless!" Hermione waved her wand, and several energy blades slashed at the vines in front of her, only two or three vines were cut, and more vines were only left with wounds.
"No, I can't. These guys are very resistant to magic!" Hermione stopped using her magic and began to run intently.
Seeing the movements of the two of them, Harry didn't want to experiment with it, and he put his mind on his own feet. For fear that one will accidentally fall.
Suddenly......
"Ah~!"
Cedric was still a little stiff as he ran from the previous Mind Drilling Charm, and when he accidentally failed to avoid a stumbling vine, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.
Suddenly. A large number of vines rushed in, and at once his feet were tied to a strong knot.
"Cedric!" Harry paused as he turned to see the scene.
"Harry?" Hermione slowed herself. Looked at Harry next to him.
"Help me!" Cedric clung desperately to the ground, his wand didn't know where it flew, and for a wizard who had lost his wand it was like cutting off his hands, he could only shout for help from Harry and Hermione.
Harry only hesitated for a moment and immediately turned around and ran back, and Hermione on the side didn't say anything, just turned around and ran with Harry to save Cedric.
"Broken bones!"
"Shadowless!"
Although the anti-magic ability of these vines is very good, they can't withstand the repeated destruction of the two, especially Hermione's divine blade, which can always cut off several vines each time, and those vines seem to be conscious, and they are a little afraid to approach Hermione.
Soon, Cedric was helped out by the two of them, and the maze changed again, and the road behind them suddenly disappeared, along with the annoying vines.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed one after another.
"Let's go out with the trophy together. Harry said, his gaze on Hermione, Hermione was the strongest of the three, and the trophy should have gone to her.
Hermione met Harry's gaze, but nodded with a smile.
"I'm fine. She said.
"You ......" Cedric was speechless for a moment, and his body walked to the trophy with the help of the two.
"He's so beautiful. Harry said.
"Take it together?" he looked up at the two of them.
"Good. β
Three hands reached out to the trophy together, holding the three positions of the trophy at the same time.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to distort, as if using a phantom shapeshift, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared in an eerie cemetery with the trophy.
"Wow~Wow~!"
A few crows stood on a dead tree and called.
The three people who fell to the ground stood up with surprised faces on their faces, looking at their surroundings with a confused expression.
"Is this also a competition?" said Harry, confused. (To be continued......)
