Hogwarts Homecoming

The icy dust in the sky was soon taken away by the rushing cold wind, and the vision was clear again.

Harry and Hermione gathered together and stared at the stone monster that had already stepped down.

"In this way, we can kill the next one soon!"

Harry said excitedly.

"We have to hurry up!"

Hermione tried to calm her excitement.

"The red stone will only protect us for less than four minutes. If it exceeds this time, we will have to go out to replenish. I think if we leave the secret realm halfway, our efforts will be in vain!"

Harry nodded, and the two planned to rush to the left end of the central axis and do the same to the remaining stone monster.

Buzz!

However, at this moment, something strange happened!

Under the horrified eyes of Harry and Hermione who were attracted by the strange sound, the remains of the stone monster that had just been defeated actually emitted a yellowish glow one after another!

"What's going on, Hermione?!"

Harry's expression was both shocked and confused.

"Didn't we defeat it?"

Hermione's confusion was no less than Harry's. She stared blankly at the broken stones wrapped in light on the duel field below. When these stones began to float in the air under an inexplicable force, Hermione suddenly shuddered.

"I have a bad feeling, Harry."

Hermione's voice trembled slightly.

"Before the situation becomes clear, I think we'd better be safe."

Crack, crack, crack.

Seeing the floating in the air begin to gather, Harry also shivered a few times.

"I agree with you, Hermione."

What was about to happen was already very clear from the situation. Harry and Hermione did not continue to watch. They ran along the wall and ran desperately towards the teleportation stone gate.

The sudden roar made the air produce visible ripples. From the roar, it can be heard that the stone monster that was destroyed once has fallen into a complete rage!

Boom!

Harry and Hermione had only run half the distance when they heard a fierce roar like a dragon roaring behind them, forcing them to stop!

"Run, Hermione!"

Harry was so scared at the first sight!

The resurrected stone monster entered a completely different violent state from before!

It stuck its hands into the ground and successively lifted up two huge ice blocks and threw them at them. If they were hit, they would probably be dead!

What's more terrifying is that the stone crutch that had just stood still has finally started to move. Its huge body moved and brought people an unparalleled sense of oppression.

The stone monster abandoned the stone egg attack method and threw huge ice blocks at them while moving.

The hard stone wall trembled under the bombardment of ice blocks, and large pieces of it peeled off!

Except for the time in the cemetery where Voldemort was resurrected, Harry had never felt so close to death!

The two ran towards the portal desperately, not daring to look back at all!

Bang!

The two people who went around the back of the portal jumped down from the 30-foot-high wall. Hermione waved her wand to slow down their landing speed.

At this moment, a piece of ice falling from the sky hit the door frame of the portal, making a trembling sound that made people's scalps numb.

Harry's eyes were about to burst. If the portal was broken, they would definitely be finished!

Even if the exit fireworks were launched, the people outside would not be able to save them in time.

Fortunately, this portal was strong enough. The ice blocks that were hit were shattered and scattered all over the sky, but the portal stone door just trembled violently but did not fall down!

The moment they passed through the transparent vortex, Harry and Hermione immediately collapsed in front of the door.

The two people's faces were sweating profusely, their pupils contracted to the extreme, and in the crisis of hanging by a thread, their bodies tended to tremble slightly instinctively.

"Are you all right?"

Seeing the miserable appearance of the two, Fleur hurried over from the giant ice block that sealed the key, while Viktor, who was sitting under the ice block, and Cedric, along with Luna, also struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards them quickly.

Huh. Huh. Huh.

Harry panted rapidly, feeling that his heart was about to explode. He looked at Hermione, who was also frightened and lost consciousness. He opened his mouth several times to ask about Hermione's situation, but he couldn't utter a word.

"What's wrong, Harry, Hermione?"

Cedric looked at Harry nervously, while Luna went around behind Hermione and gently patted Hermione's back.

After a while, Harry felt that his scalp was no longer a problem, and the roots of his hair that had burst had softened.

"You"

After trying several times, Harry finally made a normal sound,

"How are you, Hermione?"

"Finally survived, right?"

Hermione stood up with the help of Luna, she said hoarsely, and then turned her eyes to the people around her,

"What's going on, you all came out of the secret realm?"

When this question came out, Cedric and Viktor looked a little ugly, but Luna looked like she didn't care at all, she said directly,

"Oh, we can't get through, we are trying to find a way?"

This gave Harry and Hermione some comfort. After replenishing the warmth, Harry and Hermione also came under the ice and sat cross-legged like everyone else.

No one spoke, and everyone remained silent.

Now, several teams have calmed down from the rush to get the keys.

"Hey!"

Fu Rong suppressed her temper and waited anxiously for a while, but as no one spoke, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"Because we need to know how to pass the challenge behind the door!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at Fleur and said angrily.

"Then why don't you talk about it?"

Fleur said enthusiastically,

"Maybe I can help you with some advice!"

Everyone fell silent again.

Because everyone has anticipated the possibility that if they are still unable to conquer the level they currently choose, it will be a matter of time before they re-select the target of the challenge.

Well, in this case, talking too much is leaking intelligence and is feeding the enemy.

Ahem——

Seeing that everyone fell silent again, Viktor coughed twice. He looked around for a while and looked at the captains of the two Hogwarts teams.

"How about we cooperate?"

cooperate?

Everyone looked at each other.

"I mean, we work together to beat a level and get something that melts ice."

Viktor added.

"But there's only one key, isn't there?"

Cedric said cautiously,

"How do you plan to distribute it?"

"We can see who plays a greater role in overcoming the level?"

Harry suggested.

"It's hard to define, Harry."

Hermione said, shaking her head.

Viktor had obviously considered this issue for a long time. He said quickly,

"It's really hard to make a fair judgment, so my advice would be to rely on luck."

By luck?

Everyone looked at Victor quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"After we get this key, we will use the transformation technique to make two identical ones. There are three keys in total, two fake and one real. Three teams will draw, and whoever chooses the real key will get it."

Viktor said, seeing everyone's hesitation, he continued,

"No matter who gets the key, in the next round of levels, the team that got the key must give up the fight and try their best to help the team without the key. How about that?"

Hermione's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This arrangement is quite reasonable. There is just a loophole.

What if there are only two or three keys?

Does this mean one team is destined to not get the key?

Cedric's lips moved slightly. He was originally going to mention the loopholes in Viktor's proposal, but then he thought, if there were only two and they didn't choose, there would be nothing to complain about.

Cedric looked at Hermione, and Hermione returned Cedric's gaze.

"Then let's cooperate!"

The two people stood up together and said in unison.
