A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 482: Conversation on the 7th floor of the labyrinth castle (2)

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"The game is getting more and more exciting, and now the outcome is still unknown, let me make a summary"

"Harry's group is still in the lead, and the rapid convergence of the three gave them an absolute advantage. Whether it was a Boggart, a devil's vine, or an upside-down trap, they all broke through with ease and have just entered the fifth floor of the maze. .”

"The three warriors of the second team also came to the fourth floor, but they haven't joined yet. One of the warriors just came in, and it is estimated that they will not meet until the fifth floor. Some viewers may wonder why the warriors Don't use the Amplifying Charm, because the hedge is enchanted, which will greatly weaken the sound and light... Potter's magic is a special case."

"The warriors of Ouagadou have brought their own advantages to the extreme. Let us remember the name Rashawn Elephendi. He showed the most violent power in the African grasslands in the first two projects, but this time He told us with practical actions that he controlled his transformation extremely delicately! As the third team to enter the arena, Elifendi used the elephant's vibration to find people and successfully met in the maze on the first floor. After that, Bran Ziygo turned into a green eagle and quickly found the entrances of the second and third floors. His teammates used the vibration to locate the entrance and went straight to the entrances. The efficiency was astonishingly high, and they once approached Porter and the others. However, the warriors of Waggadu The fourth floor suffered a bit, and the blue eagle was entangled by the thorn wall. Now they let Nona Leibert explore the way. This girl is also extremely fast. They are the only team that can hope to surpass Potter's progress. team."

"Next is Beauxbaton. They are on the third floor, they are close to the fourth floor, and they may meet at the entrance;"

"Durmstrang's strategy is obviously different. Krum has been on the fourth floor for a while, but his two teammates are on the third floor. It seems that they have a plan, yes! Adim ·Bwick stopped at the upward entrance of the third floor, and he was waiting for another person. I understand! Their intention is to let the strongest person keep rushing forward, and the two weaker ones go together. Smart way! Know that the third floor maze is not dangerous, and the area is one-third smaller than the first floor..."

"Finally, Ilvermorny, they only reached the second floor, after all, they entered the venue half an hour late. No, they adopted the same strategy as Durmstrang! It's just that they chose three people together, Although the time has been delayed, judging from the combined magic shown in the first two projects, their next speed will be very fast."

The audience stared at the screen nervously, holding all kinds of small flags in their hands, and even the judges on the referee's seat were watching intently.

"Will they meet? Will they?" Mrs. Granger covered her face with scratches from her nails.

"I think it will be... a battle is inevitable." Sirius murmured from the side.

…

"The fifth floor is too dark," Ron whispered. There were still candles with blue flames in the first three floors, but the intervals were getting longer and longer. On the fourth floor, they could barely distinguish the color of the hedge from the darkness, and now there was no light at all.

He and Harry held their wands, ready for any sudden danger, and Hermione, slightly back, was controlling a white flame that enveloped their heads and illuminated a small area nearby. They kept pulling their legs out of the vine-ridden ground and trudged for ten minutes before crossing the long corridor.

"I don't believe there's anything more outrageous ahead," said Ron.

"Don't be crowed."

They turned a corner, and suddenly the world spun, and Harry found himself on his head, on the ceiling. The blood kept rushing to his head, he had a similar experience, when he strayed into a piece of golden mist in the second floor of the labyrinth, he was hung upside down, and there was endless void under his head. That trap is to test the courage of the warrior, he just needs to pull out his legs firmly...

He tried it, and raised one leg high, but there was no reaction at all. He was still stepping on the ceiling, and even because of the instability of his feet, he almost fell, but instead of falling down, he fell on the ceiling. The blood hit the eardrum, making him unable to think. At this moment, he heard Hermione say next to him, "I think we need to go out like this."

Just as Harry was about to ask how to get there, he saw Hermione moving forward step by step. She walked for nearly a minute, and the whole person fell from the ceiling.

"Wingardim Leviosa!" She landed lightly in mid-air, looking at Harry and Ron, "Just treat the ceiling as if it were flat and keep going, of course you need to endure the blood going up Swelling discomfort."

Soon, Harry and Ron escaped safely.

"It's strange, gravity still exists, but we are attracted to the ceiling by a stronger force..." Hermione looked back reluctantly.

"What is gravity?" asked Ron.

"It is the force that allows us to step firmly on the ground." Hermione said simply.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Ron was very puzzled.

"Be quiet, don't attract monsters," Harry warned them.

In the next ten minutes, they went through the quicksand trap. Ron thought of the floating spell that Hermione had used before, and passed the level easily. Then they encountered a single-plank bridge. Under the bridge was not a current of water, but a bottomless abyss. The Levitation Charm also failed, and Harry walked over without much effort, "This is much easier than Quidditch."

Ron's speed was a bit slower, but he passed the level smoothly. When it was Hermione's turn, she got stuck, "I, oh, I'll try..." She looked down tremblingly, and quickly shrank back.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances and Hermione seemed to rarely use a broomstick.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all"

"Yeah, you took flying lessons and passed the test!"

"I only got a passing grade," Hermione whispered, "wait, let me think about it." She thought of a way to conjure up a rope with magic and throw a piece of it to Harry and Ron , and the other end was tied to his body, "If I fall... you must hold me."

She walked up the single-plank bridge tremblingly, and the distance of twenty feet was like a moat. At the last step, she mustered up her courage and jumped to the opposite side.

"Great, Hermione!"

"Oh, I'm a little dizzy..." Hermione covered her head and said, "Let's keep going."

Whoosh!

A shadow borrowed strength from the wall twice, quickly jumped over the single-plank bridge, and several ups and downs disappeared in the darkness.

"What was that just now?" Ron asked in horror. If it attacked suddenly, it would be difficult for them to hide.

"A cheetah," said Harry.

"The one who gave you the amulet?" Ron remembered, "It's the one called..." He looked at Hermione for help.

"It's Nona Raibert!" Hermione said, "It seems that she chose to leave her teammates and take risks alone. Her speed is too fast, we have to hurry up!"

They started to trot, and after encountering two dead ends, they walked onto a narrow and rough road, and a huge monster blocked the middle of the road.

"It's the Sphinx," whispered Hermione.

They moved forward bravely, and its body was illuminated by white flames. She lowered her beautiful woman's head and seemed to be lost in thought. Hearing the movement, it raised its head, took two steps forward, and spoke in a low hoarse voice.

"You are already very close to the next step. The fastest way is to pass by me. Just you"

"What season is the shortest?" Hermione asked, interrupting it.

Sphinx's beautiful eyes blinked, and Hermione continued to ask: "What is clearly yours, but everyone can use it?"

"Hmm"

"There is always false news in the newspaper, but what must be true?"

The Sphinx fell into deep thought again.

Hermione waved to them and walked cautiously past, the Sphinx ignoring her. Harry and Ron also came over smoothly. They didn't dare to breathe, they walked a long distance, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the stairs leading to the sixth floor of the maze.

"Hermione, how do you know?" Harry gasped,

"Hagrid told us, have you forgotten? As long as you say three riddles first, it will be confused. I didn't believe it before..."

Outside the labyrinth castle~IndoMTL.com~ Someone caught up with Potter and the others, it was the warriors of Waggadu, but Potter and the others entered the sixth floor of the maze first, but this does not mean anything, Nona Leiber Te's speed is too fast, and her body is covered with many protective spells, which were cast on her by her teammates. "

"Nona took a long way around, and the sixth floor is just around the corner! Maybe she can get ahead and enter the seventh floor, and then Potter and the others will be passive." Bagman shouted, "Other warriors They also joined up with their teammates one after another, most of them gathered on the fourth floor, and Porter's early advantage is rapidly shrinking. Let us wait and see who can win the championship!"

…

The labyrinth on the seventh floor is only half the size of the school auditorium, and the surrounding area is empty. There is a stone lying in the center of the labyrinth. A trophy rests on the stone.

Felix sat on the stone and said softly: "The trophy is indeed cursed. He didn't tamper with the original destination, but added an extra transit point in the middle... It's a very clever way, not careful. I can't find it at all."

"Yes, Professor." A muffled voice came from the hat on his head.
