Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Black and white chess pieces were placed randomly on this huge chess board. These chess pieces carved from stone were even taller than Andre and the others.

"What now?" Harry asked quietly.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ron said, "We have to play chess to get across the room."

Behind the white chess piece on the opposite side, there is indeed a small closed door.

"But how to do this?" Hermione asked a little uneasily, these chess pieces gave her a lot of pressure.

Ron said: "In my opinion, we must act as chess pieces."

As he spoke, he walked up to a stone statue of a black knight, reached out and touched his horse. The stone statue immediately came to life. The heavy horse's hooves scratched the chessboard. The knight sitting on the horse turned his helmeted head. Looked at Ron.

"Do we... um... have to go there with you?" Ron asked uncertainly.

The black knight nodded.

Ron turned his head and looked at the three people behind him proudly. He said, "We have to think about it carefully. I'm afraid we have to..."

However, before he finished speaking, Andre stepped forward and interrupted him: "There's no need, Ron."

"Huh?" Ron, who was still thinking about how to play the wizard's chess game, looked at Andre in confusion.

"These chess pieces have been cast with an activation spell. I think it must be the work of Professor McGonagall. If you don't know how to break this spell, you can only pass by replacing some of the chess pieces according to her idea." Andre said He said in a calm tone: "But that would be too troublesome. I have a better way."

Pointing the wand at the huge stone statue of the Black Knight, he waved it gently, and then said: "The curse will stop!"

As a universal unspelling spell, this spell effectively removes enchantments from objects.Of course, the specific effect depends on the strength of the spell caster. If Hermione used it on these chess pieces, based on Professor McGonagall's magic power, the curse would probably not have any effect.

But it's different when it comes to Andre. His current magic level is not necessarily lower than that of Professor McGonagall, not to mention that he is still facing a living statue without a spell caster.

The black knight, who was still turning his head to look at them, suddenly turned back into an immobile stone statue under the illumination of a red light.

"Is this a spell that can only be learned in the sixth grade? I have seen records of this spell in the library, but the magic power it requires is too high, and I didn't learn it in the end." Hermione said enviously.

Andre nodded and replied: "Actually, this is a simplified version of the End of Ten Thousand Curses. The difficulty of this spell does lie in the level of one's own magic power. Generally, you have to wait until you are fifteen or sixteen years old to have enough magic power to control it."

"But you know how to do it now." Hermione didn't quite agree with his statement.

This left Andre not knowing how to answer. His situation itself was different from that of an ordinary little wizard. Now that he had the blessing of the Holy Acorn and Fire Dragon characteristics, it was even more incomparable.

Ron on the other side looked at the scene happening in front of him with some amazement. Originally, he thought that this time it was finally his turn to show off his skills. He was really not good at spells and the like, but he was very good at wizard chess. A good player, even Andre has never beaten him.

But now there was obviously no room for him to play, and Andre easily used a few magic spells to solve the huge chess piece that they thought was impossible to defeat.

Passing through a small door again, there was a disgusting stench in the third room.

None of the four were allowed to lift their clothes to cover their noses. Even so, the smell still made them cry.

After getting used to it for a while, they realized that there was a bloody troll corpse lying in front of them. It was bigger than the one Andre killed last time. There was a huge lump on its head, which should be the corpse of the giant monster that caused the death. The cause of his death.

"Great! Looks like we don't have to fight the troll anymore." Harry couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.

But Hermione seemed to have some psychological shadow of the troll, and unconsciously took a few steps closer to Andre, almost clinging to his back.

Next, they carefully stepped over the troll's thick legs and walked to the third door. Harry bravely reached out and opened the door.

Nothing scary appeared in front of him. A small wooden table was placed quietly in the middle of the house, with seven or eight glass bottles of different shapes on it.

"It must be Snape's arrangement." Harry said firmly: "Only he would like to play with these bottles and jars."

The impact of this sentence was a bit broad. Andre couldn't help complaining in his heart. To be honest, since he got the Holy Acorn and the ancient Druid inheritance, he actually started to have a lot of interest in these bottles and jars. interest.

Because if he really finds the second Holy Acorn, he will have to find a way to develop a new potion with new characteristics. After all, he already has the characteristics of the Hungarian Horntail, so there is no need to add it to himself. Get the characteristics of another fire dragon.

As the four people stepped across the threshold, a purple flame suddenly rose from behind them. At the same time, black flames also burst out from the door leading to the front.

They were trapped, but in view of Andre's outstanding performance before, the few young wizards did not panic too much, and just focused their attention on the backbone in their eyes.

"Look at this." Andre walked to the table, picked up a roll of parchment from next to the bottle, and handed it to Hermione.

'Danger is in front of you, safety is at the back, there are two of us who can help you.Drink them, one will lead you forward, the other will send you back to where you came from.Two contained nettle wine, and three were killers, waiting in line.

Take your pick, unless you wish to never stay again.

We also provide four clues to help you choose: first, no matter how cunningly the poisons hide, they are actually standing to the left of the nettle wine; second, the contents of the bottles at the left and right ends are different. If you want to move forward, they will not It is useful to you; third, you will find that the sizes of the bottles are different, and there is no death hidden in the giants and dwarfs; fourth, the second one on the left and the second one on the right, although they look different, they taste the same. '

The little witch breathed a long sigh of relief after reading the parchment, and she said: "This is a riddle. It does not test the magical power, but the ability of logical reasoning. I think I can solve it, but According to what it says, only one of us can pass, and one more will be sent back, and the remaining two can only stay here."

Andre glanced at the potion on the table. This scene was indeed not very deep in his memory. He didn't expect Snape to actually like to play such a clever trick.

But he didn't plan to follow Snape's arrangements. When facing Voldemort, he had to at least take Harry with him to be safe.
