A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 485 The Labyrinth Castle ([-]) The Trophies Are Within Reach

"Next is a scuffle?"

"Only three people came up. Nona grabbed the trophy, I, I stopped her, then Viktor came up, and finally Cedric. We used the sixth floor of the maze as the battlefield for the final battle."

"I understand."

There was silence. "Professor—are you really going to be all right? I saw—"

"Ah, I made you worry. I didn't tell anyone about the newly acquired ability."

"But—a side effect of the potion—?"

"It's not a big problem, at most there will be a period of weakness, but," Felix hesitated, "I may be invited to drink tea."

"Drink tea?"

"It means to cooperate with the investigation. After all, there are too many suspicions on me, whether it is the theft of the time converter, or what will happen tonight... Fudge finally seized the opportunity."

"That's not your responsibility at all!"

"Don't worry too much, Miss Granger, I've made some preparations in advance. If it develops according to the normal schedule, Fudge will stay in that position for an unknown amount of time. Tonight is a test for me and him. He chose the wrong one. If you do, you will step down."

"Oh—well, what can I do then?"

"Hurry up and improve your strength. Although Voldemort is doomed to fail, there must be a long war. You know, because of Horcruxes... Strength is the most important thing in troubled times. Also, help me a little busy."

"What is it?" said the voice in the hat impatiently.

"I put some contraband in the ring. In order to avoid being searched by the Ministry of Magic, I need you to help me keep it."

"No problem, Professor, I will definitely hide it."

"The things inside are actually not very important, but they are a little sensitive... I deliberately left some rune information, you can take a look. Just in case..."

"Just in case of what?" The hat moved uneasily.

Felix was slightly silent, and said with a smile, "Of course it is to prevent danger during my absence."

At this moment, Felix raised his head, "Someone is coming." He stood up, pointed his wand towards himself, and his body became blurred and transparent, blending with the surrounding environment.He paced quietly into the corner.

A vigorous figure rushed in at an extremely fast speed. The seventh floor of the maze was full of light. Nona Leibert saw the glittering golden trophy at a glance. She transformed into a cheetah, turned around deftly, and opened her mouth to pick up the handle of the trophy. Running out like a gust of wind.

In the labyrinth on the sixth floor, there are no hedges that are more than ten feet high and close to the ceiling. Instead, they are replaced by clusters of bushes that are half the height of a person, trimmed into long strips.

Harry stared at a stone statue. They had been in the sixth level of the maze for a while, and they had encountered no danger other than encountering a group of big-headed monsters disguised as stones and caped squirrels the size of rabbits.

It was the first time for them to see the big-headed hairy monster in reality.At first they thought these "round stones" were part of the maze, until Harry's Occlumency was triggered by the inevitable depression of the three, and he realized the problem.

Harry used the sharp edge magic, and the tip of the wand ejected a golden stream of air, which condensed into the shape of a long sword.He slapped the stones with the back of his sword, and they sprang to their feet, bouncing away in all directions with their bald gray heads, and Harry noticed that when they moved, their hairy bodies stood out.

Ron also got rid of his depressed state of mind. He fiddled with the last big-headed monster that was left behind in frustration. This kind of creature that was only one foot tall actually had a poor sense of balance. As long as you push it, it will be huge. Ron tried a few times, and the hairy-brained monster simply curled up into a ball and rolled away like a rock.

"Strange creatures, it's hard to imagine Mr Scamander scaring them off with the noise of his kettle," said Ron.

They then encountered the caped squirrel standing on top of the statue, a rabbit-sized, squirrel-like magical creature that at first glance seemed out of step with Hagrid's taste: it had a furry head and long ears like a rabbit, fur It is red, and the fluffy "scarf" is a dazzling gold, which is cute and kind.

When Harry saw it for the first time, he was almost deceived by its cute appearance. The continuous competition kept him in a tense state for a long time. He tentatively approached, but these cute little creatures immediately turned their backs to him, Spread the big curled tail—like a fluffy plush cape covered with countless spikes—while making a threatening cry.

"Don't provoke it, it's a nightmare to be stuck with this thing, compared to them, goblins and kittens can be said to be docile." Ron said disgustedly.

"You know it?" Harry asked.

"Fred and George caught one," Ron said with a look of regret, "They wanted to extract the thorns from its body, the ones you saw... Although it is not poisonous, once it is caught, it can kill you." You can't wait to pass out."

He shook his head and pulled Harry away firmly.Harry didn't ask any more, he guessed there must be a tragic story behind it.

That's when Hermione remembered its profile.

"The caped squirrel, known for its cute appearance and dangerous tail, has two ways of attacking. One is to twitch its tail when a stranger approaches. Many people who see it for the first time will move their heads curiously. As a result, It is conceivable...their thorns have the effect of enhancing pain, which can make people miserable. The second attack method is to wrap the body with the tail, turn into a ball full of thorns, and bounce towards the target like a cannonball— —the jumping ability of these guys is pretty amazing.”

Harry shivered a bit, and couldn't help but look back at the cloaked squirrel. It had put its tail back, curled up its two little hands in front of its body, and flicked its long ears. It looked very cute.

"These little guys are still very vengeful and a bit nervous. Once they are angered, they will chase and beat people. They will not choose to escape until the spines on their tails fall off. But don't worry, these spines will grow back again after a while ..."

"Thank you, Hermione, for helping me recall this," said Ron darkly.

"Oh, uh, we'd better avoid it," Hermione looked around in a panic, "speaking of which, the sixth floor maze is like a combination of a chessboard and a garden, with shrubs and statues everywhere. The light is also brighter... "

"It's kind of weird, why did they replace the hedges with low bushes?" Ron was also curious.

"This is a natural battlefield," Harry said suddenly.

Ron and Hermione turned their heads in horror. "A certain amount of light provides vision, stones serve as barriers, and bushes form a detour... Yeah, that's what I think." Harry said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he started running in one direction.

"what happened?"

"I see Nona Raibert!"

Ron and Hermione chased after him. They also saw a shadow jumping quickly between the bushes. The cloaked squirrels were enraged. They curled up and rolled themselves into a ball of thorns, trying to attack Nona, but Nona left long before that.

A dazed caped squirrel rushed towards Harry, who yelled, "Swoon!" The spell hit the caped squirrel, which fell from mid-air and bounced twice on the ground.

They ran a dozen steps, and the front suddenly became clear.It was a circular square, and a row of upward steps in the center of the square connected the upper space—that was the seventh floor, where the trophies were stored.

"She's out!" Ron yelled.

A cheetah sprang nimbly down the steps, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione raised their wands at the same time.

The cheetah glanced at them, turned around and ran away in the opposite direction. At this moment, she suddenly fell and rolled twice on the ground. Although the situation was critical, Harry still felt that this action was a little funny.

"She's out of strength?" Harry guessed, and he chased out immediately.

In the next second, he knew the answer.The huge voice echoed throughout the labyrinth castle, all the warriors raised their heads in unison, listening to the deafening voice - "Fearless warrior~ Go forward! No amount of difficulty can knock you down... Gain courage and honor, I I will wait for you at the end, and boil a pot full of love potions..."

"My God!" said Hermione, covering her head.

Harry cast an ear-blocking spell on himself, and the huge roar became much weaker. He endured the intense discomfort and walked forward, constantly approaching the trophy.But Nona was miserable. His teammates obviously didn't block her hearing. She looked dizzy and kept shaking her head.

Finally, the singing stopped.

　The magical animals cloaked squirrel and fluffy grass that appear in this chapter are contributed by the "Human Face Moth" from the readers. The setting of the boss is very interesting.
