A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 360: Try again
"Sed," Qiu Zhang asked softly, "how about waiting?"
"No, I'm afraid it will be worse if we procrastinate any longer," Cedric said with a smile, "Professor Haip won't set up barriers that cannot be passed. He is a candidate for selecting warriors, not powerful wizards. The secret is in what he said before."
Qiu Zhang looked at him and said thoughtfully: "Courage, wisdom, tenacity, calmness?"
Cedric nodded and strode out. Li Qiaodan was instigating people to come forward. The previous example made the little wizards a little guilty. If you want to wait, wait until the first person who gets the invitation card appears.
Harry couldn't bear it any longer, he moved forward a few steps, and saw Cedric approaching out of the corner of his eye.
"Is there anyone else who wants to try?" Li Qiaodan was still persuading, "Professors may come back after a cup of tea. What will they think when they see three zero eggs? Oh, the fourth volunteer appeared Alright! Let us cheer for him, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff!"
Cedric walked up the smooth black steps step by step, touched the black door, and was sucked in in the blink of an eye.
The students couldn't help slowing down their breathing, for fear that he would be thrown out in the next second, but ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, one minute, two minutes, until five minutes later, the hanging black door was silent Cedric opened it, and Cedric walked down the steps holding a golden card high.
"Look! Cedric succeeded! He got the invitation card! He is the first!" Lee Jordan shouted excitedly, and the students of Hufflepuff College burst into loud cheers.
Li Jordan hugged Cedric, "Dude, you can do it! Is there anything you want to tell us?"
Cedric smiled shyly, with an indescribable ease in his whole body: "All I want to say are courage, wisdom, tenacity, and calmness, and that's enough. Oh, yes, He thought for a while, "Professor Haipu cast a spell on the card, and I think that is my biggest achievement today."
He returned to the Hufflepuff crowd, surrounded by crowds.
"Cedric, how did you pass the level?"
"Yeah, how did you escape from the mouth of the rune snake?"
"What is that thing with a big mouth, is it a giant?"
Cedric shook his head, "I haven't encountered any of these things. I don't think Professor Haipu is testing us on how to defeat them. I've already said the secret."
He found Qiu Zhang, "Qiu, I suggest you give it a try."
"Because of the magic on the card?" Qiu Zhang asked.
"There is this reason, uh, mainly because I want you to attend the training with me." Cedric scratched his head and said.
…
With successful examples and key tips, more people dared to try, and even formed a long queue. Lee Jordan reminded them: "Tests can be run concurrently, which is what Fred and George did."
The little wizards walked in one by one, but more people were thrown out at a faster speed, and they got up from the ground dejectedly.
Harry followed Ron and Hermione, "You don't have to accompany me, you can wait..."
"Don't be silly, I want to try it myself." Hermione said impatiently.
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to get an invitation card?" Ron said with a smile, but Harry could clearly see fear in his eyes, and even his tone of voice was different from usual.
Harry took a deep breath, walked up the steps, and touched the pattern on the door. The next second, the pattern on the door moved, spinning and forming a shallow vortex, sucking him in.
'Let me see what's in there! ’ said Harry to himself.
He stepped on the solid ground, and before he could see his surroundings clearly, a dazzling green light filled his entire field of vision, accompanied by a hoarse, terrifying voice that was as cold as a cold wind
"Avada Kendawa!"
Harry's heart almost stopped beating, his eyes went dark, his whole body seemed to be stepped into the air, and he fell powerlessly. The next second, his body tightened
"Harry! Harry!"
"Harry, what's the matter with you?"
Ron and Hermione looked at him with concern, and Harry realized that he was not dead, but was thrown out by the black door, and they caught him.
'What kind of test is this, you don't even give me reaction time? ’ Harry wondered.
Ron looked at Harry with a pale face, and persuaded: "It's okay to fail, just to watch a good show." Harry followed his gaze, and there was already a row of students lying on the ground. Familiar faces from Gryffindor.
Angelina Johnson got up in disgrace, and when she looked up and found Harry staring at herself, she smiled bitterly: "I thought, since there is no Quidditch match this year, I might as well find something to do for myself Well, it would be nice to be a school warrior, but I can't even get into the school selection, which means it's not that material..."
She shook her head in disappointment, ready to leave.
"No, you can do it!" said Harry.
"What?"
"You can" Harry struggled to get up, "I'll prove it to you."
Under her puzzled eyes, Harry walked up the steps again. Even Lee Jordan, who was explaining, was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "It seems that Potter wants to try it a second time. This... I I don't know if it will work..."
Harry didn't care what other people thought, and put his hand on the black door, praying secretly in his heart.
The slight sense of weightlessness reappeared, which made him happy, and it really worked. He knew that the professor would not kill people all at once, and everyone could try again!
Hermione looked at his back worriedly, "Harry is too impulsive, I can guess that the professor used a technique similar to the thinking cabin, and maybe added Legilimency, or Boggart, Legilimency The ability of ghosts allows everyone to face what they are most afraid of. And in the process, they show the qualities of various warriors..."
She shook her head, "But every failure is a big blow, just look at those people." Having said that, she froze for a moment, looked intently at the black door, and suddenly smiled.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked confusedly.
"Ouch," Hermione still wanted to hold back her smile, but her shoulders trembled violently, "Look... on the door, Harry... the handprint left by Harry!"
Ron and Angelina stared at the door, and vaguely saw a dirty handprint, which was undoubtedly left by Harry. The previous people were all trying for the first time, only Harry repeated the challenge and didn't even wipe off the mud on his hands.
Angelina showed a slight smile~IndoMTL.com~ Just about to say something, Harry was thrown out by the black door for the second time.
His face was paler than the first time, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright. Before they could ask any questions, Harry hurriedly said, "I found a trick!" Climbing up the steps, he slapped the black door with a slap, leaving a fresh muddy handprint again.
Li Qiaodan came over, put down his wand, and asked in a low voice: "Is he a demon?"
"I don't think so." Angelina said, "This is the Harry Potter I know, stubborn and single-minded, just like when he was training."
Hermione stood up and pulled Ron up.
"What are you doing?" Ron was looking at the handprints on the black door, and commented: "The second handprint is clearer, Harry's hand must be hurting!"
But Hermione dragged him up the steps and said forcefully, "It's our turn."
"I knew I couldn't hide," Ron muttered. Look left and right, put your hands on the muddy handprints left by Harry.
