"Sed," Qiu Zhang asked softly, "Or wait?"
"No, I'm afraid it will be worse if I drag it any longer," Cedric said with a smile. "Professor Haipu will not set up unpassable levels. He is a candidate for selection of warriors, not a powerful wizard. The secret lies in In what he said before."
Qiu Zhang looked at him and said thoughtfully: "Courage, wisdom, perseverance, calm?"
Cedric nodded and strode out. Li Qiaodan was inspiring people to step forward. The previous example made the little wizards feel a little guilty, so wait until the first person to get the invitation card appears.
Harry couldn't help it anymore, he moved a few steps forward and saw Cedric approaching in the corner of his light.
"Does anyone still want to try?" Li Qiaodan is still trying hard to persuade, "The professors may be back after a cup of tea. What do they think when they see three zero eggs? Oh, the fourth volunteer has appeared! Let's We cheer for him, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff College!"
Cedric walked up the smooth black steps, touched the black door, and was sucked in in the blink of an eye.
The students couldn’t help slowing 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, and until five minutes later, the suspended black door opened silently. Cedric walked down the steps holding a golden card aloft.
"Look! Cedric succeeded! He got the invitation card! He was the first one!" Li Jordan shouted excitedly, and the students of Hufflepuff College broke out a huge wave of cheers.
Li Jordan grabbed Cedric, "Man, you can do it! Anything you want to tell us?"
Cedric smiled shyly, with an indescribable ease: "All I have to say are four words: courage, wisdom, tenacity, and calmness. That's enough. Oh, yes," he thought After thinking, "Professor Haipu applied a magic to the card. I think that is my biggest gain today."
He returned to the Hufflepuff crowd, surrounded by clusters.
"Cedric, how did you pass?"
"Yes, how did you escape from the mouth of the rune snake?"
"What is the thing with the big mouth, is it a giant?"
Cedric shook his head, "I haven't encountered these things, none of them. I don't think Professor Haipu is testing how we beat them. I have already said the secret."
He found Qiu Zhang, "Autumn, I suggest you give it a try."
"Because of the magic on the card?" Qiu Zhang asked.
"For this reason, uh, mainly I hope you can join me in the training." Cedric scratched his head and said.
...
With successful examples and key reminders, more people dared to try, and even long queues. Li Qiaodan reminded them: "The test can be carried out at the same time. Fred and George did just that."
Little wizards walked in, but more people were thrown out at a faster speed, and got up from the ground with their heads down.
Harry followed Ron and Hermione, "You don't need to accompany me, you can wait..."
"Don't be stupid, I want to try it myself," Hermione said impatiently.
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to get an invitation card?" Ron said with a grin, but Harry clearly saw fear in his eyes, and even the 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, swirling to form a shallow whirlpool, and sucked him in.
‘Let me see what’s inside! Harry said to himself.
His feet were on the solid ground. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, a dazzling green light filled his vision, accompanied by a hoarse, terrifying, cold-wind-like voice.
"Avada Kendava!"
Harry's heart almost stopped beating, his eyes were dark, and the whole figure seemed to be in the air, falling weakly. 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 gate, and they caught himself.
‘What kind of test is this, you don’t even give me reaction time? Harry felt baffled.
Ron looked at Harry, who was pale, and persuaded, "It's okay if you fail, you can just watch a good show." Harry followed his gaze, there was already a row of students lying on the ground, and he saw a lot of Gran The familiar face of Fendor.
Angelina Johnson got up with a disgraced face. When she looked up and saw Harry staring at her, she smiled bitterly: "I thought, since there is no Quidditch competition this year, I might as well find something to do for myself and become a school. The warriors of 1989 are not bad, but I can’t even enter the school selection, which means it’s not the material..."
She shook her head in frustration, preparing to leave.
"No, you can do it!" Harry said.
"what?"
"You can" Harry struggled to get up, "I will prove it to you."
In her puzzled gaze, Harry stepped up the steps again, and even the commentator Li Qiaodan was taken aback, and murmured: "It seems Potter wants to try it a second time, this... I don't know. no……"
Harry ignored the other people's thoughts, put his hands on the black door, and prayed inwardly.
The slight sense of weightlessness reappeared, which made him happy, and it was really useful. He knew that the professor would not kill people all at once, and everyone could try again!
Hermione looked worriedly at his back. "Harry was too impulsive. I can guess that the professor used a technique similar to the Mind House, perhaps with the addition of Panthera, or Bogut or Dementor. Ability allows everyone to face what they fear most. In the process, they show all the qualities of a warrior..."
She shook her head, "But every failure is a big blow. Just look at those people." When she said that, she was taken aback for a while, and she looked at the black gate with a sudden smile.
"What's the matter?" Ron asked scratchingly.
"Oh," Hermione tried to hold back her smile, but her shoulders trembled violently, "Look...on the door, Harry...the fingerprints left by Harry!"
Ron and Angelina stared at the door, vaguely saw a dirty handprint, which was undoubtedly left by Harry. The previous people were trying for the first time, only Harry repeated the challenge, and didn't even wipe the mud on his hands.
Angelina gave a small smile Just about to say something, Harry was thrown out by the black door for the second time.
His face was whiter than the first time, but his eyes were particularly bright. Before they could ask any questions, Harry hurriedly dropped a sentence, "I found a trick!" He rushed back in a whirlwind, and climbed the steps in two steps. , Slapped the black door with a slap, leaving a fresh mud handprint again.
Li Qiaodan leaned over, put down his wand, and asked in a low voice, "Is he devilish?"
"I don't think so." Angelina said. "This is the Harry Potter I know, stubborn and a tendon, the same as when he was training."
Hermione stood up and pulled Ron to his feet.
"What are you doing?" Ron was looking at the handprint on the black door and commented: "The second handprint is clearer. Harry's hand must be very painful!"
But Hermione dragged him up the steps and said forcefully, "It's our turn."
"I knew I couldn't hide," Ron murmured. Look left and right, and put his hands on the mud fingerprints left by Harry.
