A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 481: Maze castle (1) great advantage
Harry's blood boiled, he resisted the desire to applaud, and looked at Felix without blinking.
"Ahem," Bagman said uncomfortably, "well said, Felix, can I say what you said after the game? Just kidding, to be honest, you How about giving them a hug..."
"That's right, Professor!" Roger Davis booed, "We need a hug more."
Harry felt that Roger's words made sense, and Hermione's eyes sparkled, but Felix hesitated, smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait until the game is over."
He walked out of the tent, and the smile on his face quickly faded, "The professor's weird speech before the game and his refusal to hug are complete. Then we just need to wait quietly and minimize contact with them...Is that right?"
He stopped where he was, as if waiting for someone to respond, then smiled and turned to leave.
He returned to the stand, and the air was filled with cheerful and restless atmosphere. At one entrance of the labyrinth castle, several selected Aurors walked into the dark entrance.
The sound outside became inaudible almost instantly. Felix wandered in the maze, thinking quietly, turning into a rune, can he really do it? It should be fine, just need a little pressure... After all, he has successfully mastered the first seventh-level magic.
On the fifth floor of the maze, a wandering sphinx found Felix, whose body was like a terrifyingly large lion: huge claws, long yellow tail with a tuft of hair at the tip. But it has a woman's head.
Sphinx stood in the way and said hoarsely: "You are very close to the entrance of the next floor"
Felix glanced at it, a silver light flashed in his eyes, the Sphinx froze in place, and Felix brushed past her.
"Incarnate Runes... What should I do?" He paced away.
…
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last competition of the Tournament is about to begin! Let me report the current score! At this time, the staff can arrange the first group of warriors to be in place... Hogwarts , Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, with a total score of 128, ranked first, which will give them a huge advantage, because the interval between each team is five minutes..."
"Five minutes." Harry felt excited as he stared at the dark entrance, which meant that he was half an hour ahead of the last place! The advantage was too great, and with a short, sharp whistle, Harry hurried into the entrance of the maze.
He knew that at the same time, Hermione and Ron also entered the maze.
Everything around is eerily quiet and eerily dark. The tall hedges almost joined the ten-foot-high ceiling, casting a large black shadow. At regular intervals, a candle with a faint blue flame would hang down from the ceiling. Its light was so faint that Harry could only see a small range nearby.
"Luminescence." He waved his wand, and the surroundings immediately lit up. Harry felt a sense of unease, and carefully turned down the brightness. After walking tens of meters along the only passage, we encountered the first fork.
"Show me the way," he whispered to his wand, flat on his palm. The wand twirled and pointed to the right, where it was true north, "Very good." He ran quickly, shaking his head from side to side.
The first floor of the maze should be the easiest... This is the result of their discussion, at least there will be no serious danger. Harry recalled the strategy he had set before, to find the second-floor passage as soon as possible.
It's about the success or failure of the game!
There was another fork in the road. Harry chose the left one this time. He saw a dark shadow flashing by on the right. He turned and fled without thinking about it.
Don't pester too much, the first five minutes are very important.
…
"The first team has already entered, let's see? They have adopted a different strategy," Bagman couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Granger used the Disillusionment Charm, which is really amazing. Her age!"
Draco snorted disdainfully in the stands, hugged his shoulders, and stared at the huge screen.
"...Weasley walked very steadily, he stopped, did he find a trap... It was a false alarm, maybe it was the wind, the first floor didn't have too many traps, in order for the warriors to adapt to the environment inside , the real danger is coming!" Bagman lowered his head, dodging a small stone.
Professor McGonagall shook his fist at him angrily, and there were boos from the stands.
"Ah! I'm sorry, it was an unintentional mistake. I shouldn't have revealed that there are still warriors who didn't enter the arena. Cough, let's focus on the smallest warrior. Oh, look!" Bagman quickly changed the subject, "He ran in the maze, did he guess it?"
The restless crowd immediately quieted down, staring at the screen, Harry hardly hesitated, at every intersection, he used the direction spell to confirm the direction, and then acted quickly, "Look, Harry has encountered a blow-tailed snail! ’ Seamus yelled loudly.
Ludo Bagman also noticed this, and he stood up excitedly.
"Would Potter dodge? No, he didn't, he chose to fight, Silent Disarming Charm! Oh shit, spell bounced, excellent entrapment spell, Blast-tailed snail temporarily trapped, then It should make up for it, Potter didn't continue to attack, he chose to leave, the snail jumped out of the pit, but it lost Potter!"
Bagman was very excited, "The game is less than five minutes! Porter is already close to the entrance of the next floor, his two teammates are far behind, and the other teams have not yet entered... Does he want to be in the game?" Be the first seeker in the maze? Be the first to get the trophy? It's not necessarily wise, his teammates can't keep up with him..."
The crowd was talking, they could all see that Harry was racing against time, but they didn't know his purpose.
"He wants to be the first to get the trophy, which is in his character, isn't it?" Draco said, "Still so pushy."
"But the trophy is on the seventh floor. It will definitely get harder the further you go, and he will suffer a lot." Daphne looked at the screen puzzled.
…
"Huh...huh..." Harry breathed violently, his chest seemed to explode, but it was all worth it, he smiled brightly, and walked towards the vine-made steps, a hidden entrance was hidden on the ceiling.
He struggled to walk up the steps, his feet were light and light, as if he was stepping on soft cotton candy, he couldn't use his strength, and almost rolled down when he climbed halfway up the stairs.
But at last he was at the top, with his head above the ceiling, and he could see about a foot between the hedge and the ceiling. Harry grinned, stretched out his palm, and the rune gleamed and formed at the fingertips, condensing into a milky white light ball.
Outside the labyrinth castle, everyone stared wide-eyed at this scene.
The ball of light floated out slowly. Harry sat on the steps, stared at the ball of light for two seconds, and said softly: "Explosion." The ball of light expanded rapidly, and endless rays of light shone
The milky white light diffused in the maze, and there was a sudden glimmer of light on the hedge. En raised his head at the same time, staring at the direction where the ball of light exploded, and then, the road in front of them lit up, extending to their feet.
"Nice job, brother!" Ron clenched his fists and roared excitedly. He ran quickly, and the maze was as bright as day at this moment, but he had already found that the light was rapidly weakening, which was just as he wished, and he could run after the light.
There was no sound outside the court, from the referee's seat to the stands, there was no movement at all.
"This is cheating!" Karkaroff shouted angrily.
"Karkaroff, they didn't violate any rules," Bagman retorted habitually, "This magic is not within the forbidden range, and it's not lethal, even if... well, its scope is indeed very large ..."
He froze for two seconds before realizing what happened and the significance of doing so.
"My God! It's unbelievable! Potter, Potter actually found this method... His two teammates are approaching rapidly, faster than Harry's previous speed, and they are chasing the light!" Bagman said. Blushing, he untied the neckline excitedly, "Although I don't want to admit it, half of the suspense has been lost in the game... The other half depends on the other teams, they have to hurry up."
Collins, Cedric, and Roger stood in front of the entrance~IndoMTL.com~ with blank expressions. What did Harry and the others do to get such an evaluation from the referee? All the warriors realized at the same time that Harry's group had gained a huge advantage and they had to catch up.
There was another short whistle, and the second group of warriors entered the field. They have invariably adopted a more radical program.
…
Harry sat on the vine steps and cast two healing spells on himself. The soreness in his legs was significantly relieved, and his chest didn't look like it was about to explode. He counted silently, and when the count was close to 100, footsteps came, and Hermione appeared from the corner, she walked up to Harry, stroked her hair and said with a light smile, "Harry, you really did it. "
After more than ten seconds, Ron rushed out from another fork. He looked a little embarrassed, and his clothes were covered with mud.
"I ran too fast and came across a big hole. I don't know who made it...that's wicked." He said half-truthfully, reaching out his hand and pulling Harry up from the steps. Looking at the entrance above his head, with surprise on his face, "Are we going to the second floor? It's a pity that it can only be used once."
"Yeah, let's go," said Harry.
