The three ran across the hall, and not far from the wall was still leaning against a broom, which should have been brought in by Quirrell.
Some of the naughty keys launched a harassing attack on the three, but they were knocked down by Hannah and Susan with "except you weapon". They gave Hermione time to observe the keyhole.
"Two inches up and down, about 0.5 wide, the lock is blue, and the key is likely to have blue patterns or decorations." "We're looking for a big key, bigger than any other key!" Hermione said with her finger on the keyhole
"Over there!"
Susan, who was wearing glasses but had the best vision, found the key that met the requirements. It looked like she had been roughly poked into the keyhole not long ago. Her wings were drooping and her feathers were messy.
As Hannah kept fighting back, she said nervously, "Chloe may have flown up with a broom and grabbed the key, but none of us is good at this sport."
Hermione turned around and pulled out her wand. She recalled the mantra:
"we don't need brooms. On the train to Hogwarts, Professor Wilson taught me a magic and asked me to practice more, saying that it would not be qualified until something from my hometown could be summoned in the castle. That goal seems to be out of reach in a few years... But I've been practicing this spell all the time. Here comes the key with the most disordered feathers
The top of her wand spurted some brilliance, and drew a clear track in the air. As soon as her wrist shook, the key, though still struggling, was dragged by an invisible hand and fell into Hermione's hand.
The girl clenched the key and directly opened the lock. The three people flashed into the door and let the other keys who wanted to save the big key hit the door, making a crackling and raining sound.
"Whew, it's a little bit exciting." Susan took a breath, propped her back against the door, took off her glasses and wiped the sweat from her head.
"Yes." Hannah also bent down to support her knee and continued to cast the spell in a short period of time. If it wasn't for the wild "tossing spoon" exercise in physical education class, she estimated that her wrist would not be able to withstand: "I don't know, Hermione, how did you keep calm in the face of the troll yesterday?"
Hermione just smiles and doesn't know how to answer it. Is it cool to say that a blank brain? She doesn't think so.
She looked up and was about to say something, but she was a little stunned.
The second room, which had been dark at the time of entering, could not see anything, but when I looked up again, the lights suddenly lit up, illuminating a shocking scene.
They were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard with black pieces in front of them, which were higher than them, and seemed to be carved out of black stones and the like.
At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white chess pieces. No matter which side they were, those towering pieces had no facial features.
According to the black and white chessboard, it looks like Muggles' chess, but this is wizard's chess. Although the rules are the same, it doesn't need to use hands. The pieces will move to the target square according to the player's command.
When the pieces are eaten, they will be knocked over by the opponent's pieces, and then pulled out of the board.
The wizard can even play alone and fight the board itself.
At this time, the other two girls also gasped, straightened up to see everything in front of them, and soon realized what it was.
"Is this wizard chess?" Hannah frowned. She didn't like to play with this kind of thing. She might as well plant flowers at that time: "do we need to win the chessboard itself to pass?"
Hermione bit her lips and thought for a moment: "it's not just wizard's chess, but also" deformation mantra "and" magnifying charm ". You see, the door behind us is so small that these pieces more than three meters high can't be brought in."
"It should be Professor McGonagall's guard. What should we do?" Susan sniffed, and she wasn't very good at chess.
"If it's Professor McGonagall... I'll ask." Hermione went to the castle at the corner of the chessboard and patted the tall pieces: "do we need to knock down the white one to pass? To replace the same number of pieces as us? Join the chessboard? "
The tall stone tower shook like jelly, and bent down to show approval.
Hermione took the opportunity to observe the door behind the opponent's white chess. It was more like a stone gate. There were no chain holes. I'm afraid the "unlock mantra" had no use.
But did Chilo really waste so much time and get into the next level by playing chess?
She didn't think so, because by the time they arrived at the fourth floor door, Chilo's garlic smell didn't even dissipate completely.
Even the adult wizard can not be faster than Hermione and their chess time, there must be some shortcut to go.
All of a sudden, her eyes brightened and she asked the chess pieces around her: "you just need to knock down the white chess on the chessboard to pass the test, right? This is a game of Wizarding, but no one is required to play according to the rules of Wizarding
The black castle stands, without any indication, but the women present have a feeling that they reject Hermione's opportunistic ideas.Chessboard is a battlefield for chessmen, and people who don't respect the battlefield are not worth communicating with!
But Hermione won't transpose with the chessmen. She chooses to jump.
My professor said that everything is empty and everything is OK. If you see the chessboard and play according to the rules, I'm afraid you will fall into the trap of preconceived thinking!
There is no such rule slogan as "pass the pass with wizard chess" and "no magic" here, is it?
She took out her wand and cast a spell on the white chess players opposite the chessboard: "shrink quickly!"
"Quickly reduce" and "speed up to increase" are respectively the reduction mantra and the magnifying mantra. These two incantations are counter incantations and restrain each other.
Although this is a magic spell only learned by senior students, Hermione has taught herself the metamorphosis course in grade three. With the rays of light coming out, the huge pieces on the opposite side suddenly return to normal size.
It's about the height of a finger.
Next, Hermione went over and grabbed the white pieces that were holding her back one by one and threw them out of the board.
They fight back with knives and swords like needles, but they are useless for the Hermione giant. They are originally entertainment tools, not killing machines.
The judgment passed, and the door on the other side of the room was opened. The girl was grateful to the PE teacher for her teaching, and waved to let her friends follow.
She felt that she was getting closer to Chilo, and even her little hands were sweating.
But the next room was empty and the door on the other side was completely open.
The three looked at each other. In the dark, everything was not very clear, but everyone's eyes were very excited and bright in the dark.
In the next room, there was only a table with bottles of potions on it, and the entrance was blocked by the sudden flame as they stepped in.
The flame was purple and looked very unusual, and a red wall of fire rose in front of the crowd, which surrounded the three people on the edge of the table.
There is a scroll next to the potion with a riddle written on it. Generally speaking, only one bottle of these bottles is an "anti fire potion", while the others are ineffective potions or poisonous wine.
"Logic and potion?" Hermione looked at the table: "this should have been Snape's checkpoint, but Chilo still broke through."
Hannah looked at the bottles, they looked exactly the same, unscrewed the lid and smelled, and the smell was the same. She had no idea:
"which should we drink?"
Hermione shook her head, and she began to take out her bag again: "Chilo entered the next level before us. Maybe he also messed up the order of all the potions. If you drink according to the riddle, you may drink poisonous wine. So... I choose to drink my own. Here, my heart is a little cold."
She took out the "extreme environmental protection potion gift box" that the professor had given her as a prize some days ago, and took out several bottles of anti fire potions.
It is said that the fire-proof potion in the gift box can resist the fire dragon's breath, and the cold medicine can make her fight snowball in the Arctic with only pajamas, and even the magic medicine that can breathe underwater.
At that time, she thought the gift bag was useless, but now she found out that... It's really delicious!
The three girls touched the bottle like a toast and drank the potion. Then Hermione took out the shotgun. The other two girls began to apply protective magic. They walked through the high wall of fire to face their first life challenge.
