Hogwarts Homecoming

The three teams were all tortured in their respective secret realms.

This time, they did not rush in to seize the opportunity. Instead, they each replenished their warmth and came to rest near the ice.

"Who can tell me what happened to you all inside?"

Fu Rong, who landed first, looked at the silent crowd with curiosity bursting out.

"It's hard to put it into words, Fleur."

Viktor shook his head. His behavior was strange. He glanced at Fleur first, hesitation flashed in his eyes, but after a brief thought, he lowered his head again.

Due to some subtle psychology, no one shared the group's experiences in the secret realm. However, they all saw that they experienced different challenges and none of them could be easily overcome.

Hermione sat on a stone near the ice, supporting her chin with her hand, thinking hard about something. As time passed, a light gradually glowed in her eyes.

"Come on, Harry, let's keep going!"

Suddenly, Hermione stood up from sitting, ignoring the curious gazes of others, and pulled Harry into the secret realm again.

After Viktor and Cedric looked at each other, they stood up silently and walked quickly to the secret place they chose.

It's that ancient Greek-style duel field filled with wind and snow again.

"Huh!"

Harry glanced at the venue and immediately screamed in surprise.

The ice surface riddled with holes smashed by stone eggs has returned to smoothness, and the ground lifted up by the stone monster has also returned to its integrity.

"It seems that as long as the challenger leaves the secret realm, everything here will return to its original appearance."

Hermione said.

Harry nodded and then asked again,

"You've got an idea of ​​what to do with it, haven't you, Hermione?"

"I do have some ideas, Harry."

Hermione fiddled with her messy hair and said solemnly,

"Based on the challenge we just failed, we can get some information."

Hermione held up a finger.

"First of all, these two stone monsters are probably immovable. I think Professor Blaine made this arrangement to reduce the difficulty."

cut difficulty

Harry cursed a few times and nodded.

"Secondly, whoever attacks the stone monster will attack whoever it is and keep attacking. I guess it will not change its attack target unless a second person causes damage to it."

Hermione raised a second finger, and Harry calmed down his chaotic thoughts and nodded with focused eyes.

"What else, Hermione?"

"The third point is just speculation, Harry."

Hermione's pure brown eyes flashed with wisdom,

"I think you also noticed, Harry, that the stone monster launched four attacks after waking up. It launched stone eggs three times. After it had no effect, it began to destroy the ground and hit people with ice cubes."

Harry listened with rapt attention;

"What does that mean, Hermione?"

"If the stone monster only has these two attack modes, and they always follow a certain pattern."

Hermione took a deep breath, and the hot breath turned into curls of white smoke in the extremely cold air.

"That means we can prevent its attack, right? In this way, we will have a way to defeat it."

Harry opened his lips slightly and remained silent for a few breaths. Finally, he nodded and said in a dull voice,

"Understanding the opponent's attack method can indeed give us some advantages. I noticed that the time interval between each time the stone monster launches stone eggs is five seconds."

"Moreover, the stone eggs launched by the stone monster are one-time use and will not chase us. As long as we time it well, we can dodge its attack!"

Hermione's voice cheered.

"But there is still a problem -"

Harry tapped his toes,

"Although we can walk normally now, this ice will still restrict our movement."

"So I have no intention of dealing with it in the duel arena."

Facing Harry's confused eyes, Hermione's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she pointed to the surrounding walls that were thirty feet high.

"We can stand on the wall and deal with it!"

Stand on the wall? !

Harry's brows suddenly raised, showing surprise.

"Did you notice, Harry-"

Hermione faced the wall behind her and said,

"This wall is higher than the stone monster, so theoretically, when the stone monster launches stone eggs, as long as we lie down, the stone eggs will not be able to attack us!"

"Oh, that's true!"

Harry's head turned, and then the look on his face quickly became brighter.

"You are such a genius, Hermione, then what are we waiting for? We must get this key!"

So, the two people took action immediately.

The two stone monsters in the circular dueling arena are located on both sides of the central axis of the dueling arena.

Harry and Hermione found the stone monster on the right again, and they came to the right end of the central axis.

Climbing the thirty-foot wall was not easy, but they managed to overcome it.

The edge of the wall was about five or six feet away from the stone step seat closest to the edge. Harry carefully considered the angle at which the stone monster raised its arms to launch the stone pebbles, and found that as long as they were close to the first step seat, they could perfectly avoid it. attack.

Now that the stone eggs were no longer a threat, the two people did not stand together, but seemed to be feet apart, forming a fan shape with the stone monster on the right.

"Are you ready, Hermione? I'm going to start a monster!"

Harry shouted loudly, and after receiving Hermione's affirmative reply, Harry took a deep breath to hold his breath.

Phew. Bang!

This time, Harry used the object control spell to start, and the small stone he controlled sank deeply into the eye socket of the stone monster. It would be best if this could prevent the stone monster from accurately launching the stone eggs.

Roar!

The strong wind caused by the earth-shaking roar came as expected, but it did not cause any trouble to the two of them. They just leaned over and dodged it.

Here it comes!

After another roar, the stone monster raised his arm and glowed with a yellowish-brown light again. Harry was shocked and immediately lay down on his side. His back was pressed against the cold stone steps, and he slightly shook his wand towards the duel field.

For the sake of caution, Harry still made a layer of magic barrier for himself.

Snap, snap, snap!

Dozens of powerful stone eggs hit the edge of the wall with a crackling sound. For a moment, the air waves rolled and the rocks flew. Harry could feel the ground beneath him shaking like an earthquake, but

It was blocked!

Whoosh!

A green firework shot up into the sky amid the smoke that obscured her vision. Hermione was immediately shocked. This was the safety signal she and Harry had agreed on.

Hermione suddenly jumped up from the ground, pointed her wand at the stone monster,

"Smash to pieces!"

The gray spell light broke through the air and accurately hit the stone monster's one foot. The elliptical stone pillar supporting the stone monster's huge body immediately lost a corner.

It works!

Hermione's mood immediately soared.

Although the damage caused at one time is not great, the consumption of this attack method is not great either. With a little bit of accumulation, they can knock it down!

As Hermione expected, after she attacked the stone monster, the stone monster immediately gave up locking Harry. It creaked and turned its huge body, pointing its two hands with bright khaki light at her!

Five, four, three, two, one!

Hermione was immediately shrouded in smoke, and Harry seized the opportunity to jump up like a spring.

Harry used the gravel on the ground in front of him. In just five seconds, the stone pillar supporting the stone monster was swept away by Harry's warding spell!

The third wave of stone eggs followed one after another. Harry fell to the ground in time and avoided the chaotic stone rain again, while Hermione took the opportunity to desperately destroy the supporting legs!

Roar!

The stone monster's attack pattern is indeed fixed!

After the three waves of stone egg rain, the stone monster roared again, inserted his arms into the ice and lifted up a huge piece of ice.

According to the "rule of hatred", this wave of attack should be aimed at Hermione.

"Hermione!"

Harry reminded loudly, his voice tense.

"I understand!"

The big ice along the high-throw arc may attack them!

Hermione watched the stone monster slowly lift a piece of ice, and his eyes emitting bright light aimed at her!

Whoosh!

The duel field suddenly sounded a whistling sound that was more ferocious than the biting cold wind.

Hermione's eyes were fixed on the movement of the stone monster. When the ice cube left the stone monster, she suddenly ran to the right quickly!

Boom!

Like a summer thunder, the whole duel field shook a few times!

"Hermione!"

Harry shouted, his vision blocked by the diffused ice.

"I'm fine, Harry, hurry up!"

Hermione's sharp cry came from behind the thick ice mist. Harry's heart was immediately calmed down and continued to destroy the supporting legs of the stone crutch!

Boom, boom!

Two more ice cube attacks, the heavy impact caused a corner of the solid wall to collapse, and the broken stones fell like rain all around, and Harry and Hermione were affected separately.

However, the result was a close call!

Then, the clumsy stone monster refreshed its attack mode and began to attack them with stone eggs.

Boom. Crash!

After four rounds of attacks, the stone monster's thin and broken legs could no longer support the weight of its body!

The stone monster roared unwillingly.

Under the excited gaze of Hermione and Harry, the stone monster's huge body gradually tilted, and finally, it fell to the ground with a bang!

Its own heaviness caused it to completely disintegrate under the action of gravity and falling force after falling to the ground, turning into a pile of large and small rubble.

Silence

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and cheered loudly at the same time! (End of this chapter)
