Hogwarts Homecoming

It is foolish to act recklessly against an opponent who is stronger than you - this is the teaching of Professor Brain.

In order to dig a trap for the stone monster, Hermione and Harry wasted some time, so that they would not suddenly lose the warm shelter during the fierce battle with the stone monster.

Before the red light mist surrounding them disappeared, they took the initiative to replenish it.

The giant ice-blue ice block still stood there, and Fleur sat on a stone bored and played with the key she got from the last round.

When she saw Harry and Hermione rushing out, Fleur happily stood up to ask about the situation, but was ignored by Harry and Hermione who were concerned about victory again.

Humph!

Fleur stomped her feet in anger, but in the end she could only sit down helplessly and continue to accompany the boring wind and snow.

The trap was ready, and Harry and Hermione stood more than 40 feet away from the stone monster on the right, holding their wands and tensing their bodies.

"Are you ready, Hermione?"

Harry tightened his wand, but found that his palms were sweaty. He quickly wiped his palms and the handle on his clothes.

"Let's get started, Harry!"

Hermione's messy brown curly hair fluttered in the wind, but she was in no mood to comb it. She was concentrating on the stone monster that looked like a sculpture at the moment.

Swoosh!

A sudden scream appeared in the howling cold wind, and a disarming spell hit the stone's one foot.

After confirming that his spell had indeed broken a few stones, Harry shouted,

"Run, Hermione!"

Then, the two turned around and ran towards the teleportation stone gate without any nostalgia.

Roar!

But before they ran a few steps, a thunderous roar came from behind them!

Harry knew that he should not look back, but return to the vicinity of the teleportation gate as soon as possible, but he couldn't help looking back.

As they expected, the silent stone giant immediately revived after being provoked.

The stone monster roared at Harry and Hermione, and the wind and waves stirred up by the roar even disrupted the trajectory of the fierce snow and rolled in all directions.

Harry and Hermione, whose backs were swept by the strong wind, lost their balance and fell forward, each rolling a circle before regaining stability.

In the chaotic wind, Harry and Hermione cast a horrified look at the stone crutch.

The stone monster turned its head, and the two fist-sized pits at the position of the eyes bloomed with a breathtaking bright yellow light.

Roar!

The stone monster roared again, and the strong wind pressure forced Harry and Hermione, who were in a defensive posture, to slide on the ice!

Buzz!

Then, the stone monster swung its huge arm to stir the air and made a buzzing sound that made people's scalps numb. It did not move forward, but aimed its simple arm without a palm at Harry and Hermione!

A thrilling feeling of being locked immediately emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

"What does it want to do?"

It was winter, but Harry was sweating.

"Why doesn't it chase us?!"

Hermione couldn't figure out why the stone monster was doing this strange thing. However, she didn't need to think about it, because the stone monster's attack was coming!

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The end of the stone monster's arm suddenly lit up with the same golden light as its eye sockets, and then fist-sized stones emerged from the light. The stones flew through the air, making a sharp whistle that stung the eardrums, and attacked Harry and Hermione with great force.

"Get out of the way, Hermione!"

The rapidly enlarged black shadow in his sight made Harry's soul tremble.

This thing is not the dung egg they avoided in physical education class, which would only make them blue and purple.

If they were hit by these stones, their bodies would only be torn here and there!

What's more terrible is that at this critical moment between life and death, Hermione was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect the stone monster to throw stones at them!

Without time to say too much, Harry pushed Hermione hard beside him, and he himself escaped from the range of the stone attack with the help of the reverse force! Bang, bang, bang! Dozens of egg-shaped stones fell down with a crackling sound, instantly turning the smooth ice surface into a walnut with a scaly skin. The scattered stone and ice chips hit Harry's face and hurt him so much that he almost cried. However, before Harry could escape death by chance, he was horrified to find that the terrifying stone monster clumsily turned its arm and aimed at him again! Woo! With a chilling whistle, the stone attacked again! "Armor protection!" Harry, who fell to the ground, knew that he had no chance to get up and escape. He could only resist, so he raised his wand and shouted. "There are many obstacles!" Hermione, who was pushed aside, also judged who the stones were coming for, and she also screamed to provide protection for Harry. The obstacle spell successfully weakened the speed of those fatal stone eggs. In the end, Harry saved his life with his armor charm! "This stone monster doesn't move at all!"

After overcoming the second wave of attacks, Harry immediately jumped up from the ground,

"The traps we dug don't work at all, Hermione, do you have any other tricks?!"

"I'm thinking, be careful, Harry, it's going to attack you again. There are many obstacles!"

Snap, snap, snap!

After the speed was weakened by the barrier spell, the stone eggs hit the magic barrier of the armor spell with a fierce sound, just like a typhoon hitting a thin piece of glass.

Cold sweat soaked Harry's clothes. In the biting north wind that seemed to never stop, Harry shouted messily,

"Why is it only coming for me?!"

"I think that's because."

Hermione shouted,

"It was your attack that woke it up just now. If I attack it too, maybe I can make it change its target and wait, Harry!"

Hermione raised her wand and was about to attack.

"Don't, Hermione!"

Harry had a determined face and a look of fearlessness in his eyes,

"Just let it come to me!"

"Don't be silly, Harry!"

Hermione shouted a little crazy,

"If I don't attack, how are you going to take it down!"

Ahem

Harry's pale face flashed a trace of embarrassment.

At this time, the stone monster moved again. It still stood in the same place, but it bent down awkwardly.

Boom!

A deafening roar and a sudden shaking of the earth appeared at the same time!

Seeing what the stone monster did, Harry's face turned pale, and Hermione also had a creepy expression.

The stone monster roughly thrust its two arms into the ground, and the ice surface cracked. Then, a block of ice roughly as big as Hagrid was easily picked up by the stone monster!

"Run, Harry!"

Hermione's scream made the audience outside the venue, who were worried about their fate, cover their ears and show painful expressions.

"But. Where should we go."

The violent attack of this stone monster really shocked Harry a little, and he stammered.

"Let's go out!"

Hermione rushed to the locked Harry regardless of the danger and pulled his wrist. The two ran towards the portal like crazy.

Fortunately, they originally planned to deal with the stone monster near the portal, and they were not far from the portal!

Boom!

The air wave generated by the giant ice block landing helped them and directly lifted the two out of the secret realm!

Um!

After rolling out of the secret realm, the two rolled for a long distance in the soft snow before they stopped. Harry let out a suppressed cry of pain and climbed up despite the pain all over his body.

"Damn it, that stone monster really wants to kill us!"

Harry panted and cursed.

Hermione also got up from the ground with difficulty. Her hair and face were covered with snowflakes, and her pale face was still in shock!

At this time, Viktor and Cedric's teams also fled from their respective secret realms.

The same thing is that they also looked gray and dusty.

The difference is that Viktor's sportswear was full of holes, and there were bloodstains on his face, as if he had been cut by something sharp.

"These damn bastards!"

As soon as he left the secret realm, Viktor cursed loudly, as if he had suffered some injustice.

Cedric and Luna rushed straight to the nearby gentle slope. Their clothes were completely wet and had frozen into ice. This further consumed the energy of the red smoke.

The two were so cold that they couldn't speak. After they regained their warmth, they exhaled heavily and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other.

Judging from the situation, the two teams were not going through the same test as them. (End of this chapter)
