The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Jon walked first, followed by Daphne. They held their wands high and walked along a winding path in the cave.

The Patronus led the way in front of the crowd; Astoria and Harry followed behind them in turn.

While walking, Jon used his wand to mark the surrounding stone walls; so that even if he got lost, he could return along the original path.

Continuing to walk forward, the sound of water flowing ahead became more and more obvious. This is at least good news. The existence of water flow means that the cave is not completely closed, and there is a high probability that an exit can be found.

Soon, they found the location of the water flow... After passing a narrow channel, they could see a stream flowing down from the protruding rock formation. There were many limestone sediments in the water. These limestones had condensed and formed over the years, forming the The shape of a waterfall. At the bottom of the water, you can also see some exquisitely carved stones in the shape of snowflakes.

Jon stopped, at least he could wash his face here and stay awake.

The spring water in the cave is cold and clean, so it is no problem to drink it directly.

After making a mark by the spring, they followed the patron saint and started to move on.

A few minutes later, they entered a spacious grotto, surrounded by stone walls supported by strangely shaped pillars, and these stone pillars were formed by connecting large stalactites and stalagmites.

In addition, some stalactites in the shape of human legs hang down from the top of the grotto, which looks a little creepy.

Astoria couldn't help but took a few more steps toward Jon, but accidentally stepped on the moss and slipped under his feet, and then let out a slight scream.

Because she suddenly saw groups of bats gathered on the grotto, almost thousands of them.

The light of the wand shone upwards, and suddenly thousands of bats swooped down, screaming and pounced on the two wands of Jon and Daphne.

"Ah—" Daphne also let out a scream of fear.

The screams of the two girls seemed to attract more and more bats, and they swarmed.

Jon grabbed Daphne's hand roughly, and snatched her wand away... He was worried that the silly girl would use some kind of spell (such as crushing spell) in conditioned reflex when she was afraid of bats. , if the cave collapsed, the four of them would have to confess here.

At the same time, facing those menacing bats, the three people beside them had subconsciously squatted down, covering their heads with their hands——

"Incendio!"

Jon raised his elder wand and chanted calmly.

In the dark cave, a scorching flame suddenly appeared beside the four wizards—it first formed a bright, golden-red ring of fire, surrounding the rock wall, and the nearest bats that charged were stained with flames. After the ring of fire, it burned quickly, and the air smelled only of burnt protein.

Firelight seemed to dance in Jon Hart's eyes. He held his wand up high like a torch, and one flame after another sprang out from the end of his wand, together with the bright fire ring before, finally formed several huge and warm shackles of flames.

The shackles of flames raged in the cave, and the bats began to flee crazily, trying to escape the terrible magic that surrounded them...

Only a minute later, the cave returned to calm... The bat colonies on the top wall of the grotto were either burnt or driven out of the cave.

Jon breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned on the stone wall to take a breath; using the old wand to use such magic was quite exhausting for him.

"Whether it's wild beasts or magical animals, most of them have the fear of flames engraved in their genes." He and several companions explained softly, and at the same time returned Daphne's wand to herself.

Daphne just took back her wand with no expression on her face, without asking why.

"It's okay." Jon lowered his head and helped Astoria up: "Let's move on."

After experiencing the accident of the bat, the four of them continued to follow the patron saint; but the conversation between them became less and less...

Everything around was so silent that even their breathing could be heard.

It was as if in this silent cave, there were icy hands grabbing their souls.

...

They got into a long corridor again, and the formation became a straight line again.

In this terrible cave, they have almost been delayed for more than two hours.

At the beginning, when encountering a hole along the way, some people would stick their heads in to have a look; but later on, everyone followed the patron saint and walked mechanically.

The two girls, Astoria and Daphne, were obviously a little tired; maybe they had never experienced this kind of "travel" before, nor had they walked so much on foot at one time.

Just when Jon was about to propose to take a break, he suddenly saw a small light spot in the distance.

"Hold on a little longer." Jon said quickly, because he thought the light spot in the distance looked like sunlight.

Under Jon's urging, a group of people hurriedly fumbled in the direction of the little light spot...

Just as Jon imagined, there is indeed a cave... a small cave that can barely accommodate one person.

He stuck his head and shoulders out of the small hole, the dawn sun was just emerging at the far end of the earth, and the fresh air made people feel refreshed; at the same time, a wide river rolled past in front of them.

"It's finally coming out!" Jon gave his patron saint a thumbs up, and then dismissed the summoning of it.

If it weren't for the patron saint to lead the way, it would be almost impossible to get out of this cave with extremely complex terrain in such a short time.

On the opposite side of the rushing river, there is a sparse grove.

"We Apparate to the other side of the river!" Jon shouted. "Harry, you follow me; Astoria, you follow your sister."

The range of apparition magic is limited, generally speaking, it can only apparate to a location visible to the naked eye, and a familiar location in your memory.

Previously in the cave, on the one hand, he was completely unaware of the surrounding location information, and on the other hand, he could only see the dark stone walls with the naked eye... In this case, apparition was almost useless; but now, after finding the exit of the cave, , the situation is somewhat different.

Following two white flashes, when the four apparated to the other side of the river——

"What should we do now, Jon?" Harry lay on a pile of what looked like branches and leaves, and he took a few breaths of air trying to calm down.
