The latest website: competition, school, rest, the days just passed.
There is a competition at the end of almost every month, and Harry gradually gained some other strengths besides his hair.
Finally, six months later, in the second semester of the fourth grade, this somewhat sultry summer, Harry ushered in the biggest difficulty in his life so far.
That is, with the help of his mother, he actually entered the final final of the top ten competition!
The final event is a maze with a silent stretch curse. The final ‘Wilson Cup’ of the Top Ten Tournament is placed somewhere in the maze. As long as you reach out and touch it, you will become the final winner.
There are not only players in the maze, but also monsters such as tauren that professors put into it. This is a competition about strength, luck, and imagination. In addition to Harry and Hermione, there are eight people in other schools. participate.
The old Quidditch stadium has become completely unrecognizable here. A twenty-foot-high hedge surrounds the edge of the court. There is a gap in front of the Warriors. That is the entrance to this big maze.
The passage inside is dark and scary.
The outside audience still can only see a limited number of places through the surveillance probe, but this has not stopped people from looking forward to the enthusiasm of the final champion. The stands began to be crowded with people, thousands of students filed in. There are more to see the lively adult wizards.
The air was full of excited words and jumbled footsteps. Their hats were decorated with bright red stars, and their eyes looked at the little wizards at the entrance of the maze.
The sky was now a clear dark blue, stars began to appear, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick walked into the stadium and walked towards Bagman and the warriors who hosted the game.
"We will patrol outside the labyrinth," Professor McGonagall said to the warriors. "If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, we will shoot red sparks into the sky. We will have someone to help you. Do you understand?"
The warriors nodded together.
Harry was a little nervous, especially since Hermione's back was in front of him. The order of entering the maze was sorted by the scores in the previous items, and it was his turn one minute after the girl entered the maze.
This maze is a tall hedge made of magical plants, which not only obscures everyone's sight, but also one of the traps.
My mother told herself in a dream that there are devil nets lurking in the hedges in some places. Try not to touch the walls of the maze. Once you get entangled, you will immediately use the spell of flames or strong light.
Harry wasn't sure how many Professor McGonagall had heard, or if he really remembered the way to the trophy. He just wanted to not disappoint his mother and promised her to be the first to win the cup in his dream.
Dumbledore is also sitting in the audience tonight. The person in charge of the game is the British "famous" Bagman that Harry has seen in the Quidditch World Cup. The opponent has a funny face and a big red nose.
Before Hermione set off, the man approached Harry kindly, "Are you ready? Boy?"
Harry only felt a stomachache, and he was about to vomit up the starry sky pie for dinner, but he nodded calmly.
The other party was holding his pocket watch and looking at the time, Harry could notice the beautiful hands shining in the moonlight, and then he felt the big hand on his shoulder pat him.
"set off!"
He subconsciously rushed into the maze and disappeared from the audience's sight as soon as he turned at the first fork.
The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the narrow paths. It was unknown whether it was because of the height of the hedges or because they were enchanted. As soon as Harry entered the maze, the voice of the audience could not be heard.
He almost felt like he was sinking to the bottom in a black lake, with the air sticking to his body. He drew out his wand and said, "Fluorescence flickers."
His sight recovered, and he gradually calmed down. Apart from the damp and cold atmosphere in the maze, he has not encountered any danger.
It's just that he completely forgot the road map his mother had told him in advance.
This is not important. In fact, for Harry, he has surpassed his past self by reaching this point and he is already content.
After walking about fifty meters forward, he came to a fork in the road. He chose to go to the right. There seemed to be nothing on this road. He held his wand in one hand and wanted to see as far as possible, but his field of vision was still limited.
Harry kept looking behind him, as if he felt that someone was watching him in secret, but maybe the camera caught him?
The maze was darkening every minute, the sky above his head turned dark blue, and he came to the second fork in the road.
"Show me the way." He pinned his wand on his palm and said softly to it.
The wand rotated a bit and designated the dense hedge on his right, which was north. He knew that he had to go deep into the center of the maze first, so he had to go northwest.
So he turned to the left, the road ahead was still empty, and moved quickly, and when he reached a right turn, Harry turned in without obstacles.
Harry didn't know why this happened. The unimpeded flow made him panic. Now he should have encountered some monsters. Hagg secretly told him that the professors had thrown hundreds of terrifying creatures into the maze.
The labyrinth seemed to be tempting him with a false appearance of safety. At least he had been in for almost ten minutes, and he still didn't see any species that could be called dangerous. At most, it was just a few tree guards.
He shook his head to avoid being suspicious. The sports professor once said that when a person is in the wilderness, one must not doubt oneself. Once he stays in place or has doubts, he is not far from death.
Although the maze is not a dangerous wilderness, this principle still applies.
He quickened his pace again, and after a turn, he finally saw the enemy he should have encountered long ago.
A dementor walked slowly towards him, twelve feet tall, with a hood covering his face, and his rotting and crusted hands stretched out straight. It approached step by step, touching him with feeling. Harry could hear the gasp in his throat.
A cold and slippery feeling hit his whole body, but he knew what to do.
He tried his best to think of the happiest thing, recalling the spell his mother taught him in his dream, while raising his wand and shouting: "Call the gods!"
A silver female deer jumped out of Harry's wand ~EbookFREE.me~ and ran towards the dementor.
Watching the shiny silver animals drive away the dementors, Harry panted violently. He knew there was something difficult in the maze, but he didn't expect that he was so badly lucky that he would meet the guards of Azkaban.
He looked down at his wand, his guardian spirit, like Lily and Professor Snape's, was a female deer, which was also the proof of the family.
Although his mother in his dream said that love and strong personal will can change the image of a person’s guardian spirit, but Harry did not feel that the doe guardian spirit was not enough, he hoped that he and his parents would protect him. Spiritual.
With a loud bang, the silver deer who defeated the Dementor in the distance exploded blue smoke on the first floor and disappeared.
Harry hoped it would stay, be a company for himself, take a picture or something.
But he continued to move forward, walking as fast as he could without making a sound, still holding his wand aloft, listening vigilantly to the movement.
