Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

After Snape and Karkaroff entered the office, Louis dared to slowly climb down from the top of the medicine cabinet.

After confirming again and again that Snape would not come back, Louis ran sideways out of the storage room.

Although we don't know what kind of deal Snape and Karkaroff will have, it is obvious that this must be Dumbledore's intention.

Before being captured by Alastor Moody, this rebellious Death Eater was considered a relatively core existence on the Death Eater level. Now neither the pros nor the cons can tolerate him. The only chance of survival is to cooperate with Dumbledore. Even working for Dumbledore.

Of course, Karkaroff is not Snape after all, and the reason why he tends to sacrifice his life is just to survive, or to stand against him out of fear of Voldemort.

Once the use value is lost, Dumbledore will not hesitate to let the Death Eaters hunt him, which is why Snape told him that there is only a one-year time limit.

"Mr. Lius, what is in this?"

Returning to the Gryffindor common room, Louis couldn't wait to get into the eternal stone and put the jade box in front of Lius.

"Thousand-year-old Snow Ginseng King." Lius touched his chin, "At least that's what the Chinese said."

"What?"

Louis was no stranger to ginseng, but from Lius's bad accent, he could tell that it was indeed a product from the ancient eastern country.

"They don't call them magic medicine when it comes to medicinal materials from China. They call them alchemy, and the quality of plant medicines from the East is directly one level higher than ours."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Louis looked at the ice jade box, then picked up the wand and planned to open the box from the outside.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course you have to open the box, otherwise how would you get the medicinal materials."

"Wait a minute." Lius stopped Louis' movement, "You didn't take it like this. This ginseng king has existed for thousands of years and has been integrated with this ice box. If you open it like this, it will only let the medicine inside The energy dissipates."

"This thing can only be practiced together, so I said it would take two hours outside."

Lewis frowned, becoming so pretentious when considering such high-grade medicinal materials.

"Leave it to me, I'll call you..."

So Louis could only run back to reality and wait in loneliness for about two hours.

"That's it?"

Looking at the black ball-sized substance in his hand, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"This is alchemy. Condensation is the essence." Lius stretched, his face looking slightly tired.

"magic..."

The alchemy that Louis had heard of before was just a trick played by Taoists. To be more precise, ancient people mistakenly regarded alchemy as a method of refining the elixir of life. If they ate it, they would die suddenly.

But a successful example was placed in front of Louis, and it seemed that he felt that those things were not completely false.

In this way, the study of potions began thousands of years earlier in the East than in the West.

When they came to the Slytherin common room again, Astoria seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa. After confirming that she was okay, Louis put the pill into her mouth with his own hands and gave her a gentle massage. Covered with a blanket.

The effect of the medicine took effect thirty minutes after entering the body. Astoria's complexion obviously improved a little. She even held Louis' arm with one hand in an extremely childish manner.

.....

In the following days, the school entered an unprecedented final sprint stage, but this had nothing to do with Louis and Harry. Because of their status as warriors, Dumbledore had already exempted them from the final exams.

However, this does not mean that the two of them have nothing to do. The pressure of the third project is piled on their heads. Louis even has to observe every move of Barty Crouch Jr., and may have been "incited" by him.

Derek.

Snape, as always, likes to make things difficult for Gryffindor students, especially Louis, but fortunately, his potions scores are so good that Snape can only find some very blunt reasons to deduct points every time.

Even Gabrielle, who was attending class with her, couldn't stand it.

Ever since Louis rescued the Delacour sisters in the Black Lake, the two of them have been extremely friendly towards Louis, and Fleur even revealed the content of the third project to him in disguise.

"Well, we may have to compete against each other in the next game. It is said that it is in the maze, and you know that we both entered the maze at the same time, right?"

"Do you want to form an alliance with me?"

Louis revealed her purpose in one word. Fleur's frontal strength may be the weakest except for Harry, who has been being helped by Barty Crouch Jr.. She wants to increase her chances of winning and at least not let herself be the first to be eliminated.

Then you have to find someone to join forces with.

She didn't have any hope for Krum, after all, he had planned to frame her during the second project, while for Harry Potter, she believed that it was purely luck, and no one would lose to him in a head-on confrontation.

All things considered, Louis became the best candidate.

"It's okay to form an alliance, but I have to let you know that the one who wins the Triwizard Cup in the end must be me."

His words were not meant to be arrogant, but for the sake of Furong's safety. If it was Furong who was teleported, it would only bring death to her.

Harry is not a necessary condition for resurrecting Voldemort. Even if Harry is not transported to Little Hangleton, Voldemort can still be resurrected, but without the protection of the Blood Curse, he still cannot move Harry Potter.

The fact is just as Fleur said, when Ludo Bagman called their warriors to the Quidditch venue, he pointed to the growing fences and told them that the third event was the maze.

"The Triwizard Cup is placed in the center of the maze. Whoever encounters it first will be the winner of this Triwizard Tournament."

"Just go through the maze?"

"Of course not, Miss Delacour." Mr. Bagman shook his head, "In the maze, there are various magical animals and plants arranged by Hagrid and Professor Sparrowney, as well as some puzzles. It won't be that easy.

, so prepare well.”

"As usual, the one with the highest score gets in first, so, Mr. Wiggins, you are the first..." Ludo nodded at Lewis.

After he announced the rules and made sure that no one had any problems, he left. Several warriors did not want to stay outdoors any longer and left one after another. However, Harry was unexpectedly stopped by Krum.

"You don't mind, I want to talk to you."

He obviously came with a purpose, but he didn't think he would do anything dangerous to Harry, because before Voldemort was resurrected, both sides wanted to ensure his safety.

"Of course." Harry was a little surprised, but nodded.

"Come with me."

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards the Forbidden Forest. Louis was not interested in talking about anything with them, except for things about Hermione.

However, if the third project is related to Hagrid, maybe we can get some information from him.

So after the four warriors separated, Louis came to Hagrid's hut alone, but it seemed that he had learned a lesson. Under Louis' hard words, he only revealed to him that there was a Blast-Ended Skrewt in the maze.

"I can't tell you more, Louis." Hagrid poured more tea into his teacup, "You also know that this is cheating, this kind of thing..."

He suddenly stopped talking because he saw Harry running anxiously from the direction of the Forbidden Forest by the window.

"Hey Harry, what's up?"

Hagrid quickly opened the door for Harry, and he took a breathless sip of water.

"Something's happened. Hagrid, Louis. It's Mr. Crouch. He's not the right one. He seems to be crazy."
