Chapter 90 Gryffindor, courage is supreme!
Harry looked at his friends. He knew that a strong tree could not be grown in a greenhouse.
The reason why the students of Hogwarts were so outstanding a hundred years ago was because the environment in the wizarding world was full of dangers. You could encounter several poachers or dark wizards even if you took a walk outside.
Seeing that they were eager to stop Quirrell, Harry knew that even if he tried to stop them, it would be useless. Instead of letting them follow them secretly, he might as well agree to them so that he could take care of them.
On the other hand, Harry also wanted to temper these friends, just like Sebastian and the others had tempered themselves.
Blindly protecting them can only make them become flowers in the greenhouse instead of towering trees in their own right.
"This is the Elixir of Fortune." Harry held the small bottle of the Elixir of Fortune. "I don't need to say more about the function of the potion. At least it can ensure that you are not harmed... Come on, each of you drinks a small amount. Point, divide it.”
As he said that, Harry used his transfiguration spell to conjure four small cups, put a little elixir in each cup equally, and handed them to the four people.
"What about you, Harry?" Ron asked.
"I don't need this." Harry winked at Ron.
After the four people drank the elixir in the cup, Harry said again: "This is an actual battle in our duel cabin. I hope everyone can follow the command-"
"Understood, Harry." The four of them said together.
Harry nodded and handed the invisibility cloak to the four of them.
"Come with me and put on this."
The invisibility cloak is large enough for four people to move forward wearing them.
"Neville! You stepped on my foot!" Seamus complained in a low voice.
"Oh, sorry." Neville apologized quickly.
Following the stairs to the fourth floor, Hermione pulled off her invisibility cloak, walked to the door, and whispered: "Look, this door has been opened. It's obvious that Quirrell has gone in!"
There was a low barking from inside the door. Hermione opened the door and looked lovingly at the three heads.
"There's a harp over there." Hermione turned around and said, "Hagrid once said that when Lu Wei heard music, he would——"
After saying that, she took out her wand and pointed it at the harp, shaking it gently with her little hand.
The harp made a pleasant sound. Lu Wei, who was still staring outside and whining, had his six eyes twitching and fell into sleep in almost a second.
"Come in," Hermione whispered, not forgetting to continue directing the instrument with her wand.
"This thing...won't wake up, right?" Neville looked up at Lu Wei in fear.
"No."
After Harry said that, he went in first, and Ron went in second. After he walked in, he searched left and right on the wall, but couldn't find the door to go forward for a long time.
"Here!" Seamus waved to them both. Next to him was a trap door - like a cellar door.
"Lumos." Harry stretched out his wand and looked down, but he couldn't see all the way down.
"Revelio!" He waved his wand again, but still found nothing.
"I'll go down to explore the way first," Harry said to the four of them: "If nothing happens, I'll call you down."
"What if something happens?" Ron asked.
"Then call the professors over quickly!" Harry rolled his eyes and jumped down.
When jumping down, don't forget to give yourself a shock absorber to stop the speed.
He felt himself floating and landed on something soft, rubbing his butt, which seemed to be some kind of vine.
"Come down!" Harry shouted at the entrance of the hole where he fell: "No problem."
The hole was in his field of vision, a spot the size of a fingernail.
"Ah——!!"
Along with four screams, the four friends fell next to him.
"You know? When I was in the air, I even had the urge to pinch you!" Neville complained in a low voice. "Honestly, it's a blessing to have this bunch of plants spread out here," Ron said.
"Fortunately!" screamed Hermione, "something's got me, oh God! It's wrapping around my legs!"
After Hermione's reminder, everyone realized something was wrong.
Ron struggled violently, only to find that the thing was getting more entangled and tighter.
"Ho... ho ho..." Ron was choked and had difficulty breathing.
Harry quietly cast a spell to help Ron ease his pain.
He knew what kind of plant it was, but he wanted to use this opportunity to sharpen his friend.
"Don't struggle! Ron!" Neville suddenly shouted: "This is a devil's net! The more you struggle, the tighter it will be!"
"Oh, I'm so glad!" complained Ron. "Now we know what the bloody thing is - what should we do, Neville? Aren't you interested in herbology?"
"Professor Sprout said..." Neville muttered something in a low voice, and suddenly said loudly: "Seamus! Set it on fire! This thing is afraid of fire..."
"No! Not Seamus!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Ron only had time to let out a loud roar before he heard the sound of a thunderbolt explosion next to him.
The devil's net quickly dispersed, and several people fell to the ground one after another.
"Look, sometimes I actually think I'm not bad." Seamus said with excitement, "These devil nets seem to be afraid of my thunderbolt explosion..."
"If you can replace the thunderbolt explosion with a blazing flame, I will thank you." Neville said with a dark face.
Seamus's curse just now was directed in the direction of Neville, which also caused Neville to become the first victim of the curse explosion.
"Fortunately, Neville is quite interested in herbal medicine." Ron said with some regrets, "Otherwise, we would all have to explain where we are."
"Okay, let's keep moving forward." Hermione reached down and wiped the corners of her mouth, suppressing a smile and said.
They walked down a stone corridor and climbed down the stairs. All they could hear was their footsteps and the sound of dripping water.
"Did you hear anything?" Neville asked quietly.
"It's like a buzzing sound? Like a fly." Hermione raised her head and looked forward.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look." Ron said, walking forward immediately.
He is extremely confident now, perhaps because the Elixir of Fortune gave him the courage.
They reached the end of the corridor and faced a brightly lit room with a high, vaulted ceiling.
Countless little birds, as dazzling as gems, fluttered around the room.
Across the room, there was a heavy wooden door blocking their way.
"It seems that they are not birds." Seamus raised his head and said, "They are keys...but which one is the correct key?"
"The biggest one, look, the wings seem to be injured!" Neville pointed at the big key with the sky blue wings and said loudly.
Ron and Hermione searched around on the ground and saw the broomstick next to the door.
"Harry!" Ron pointed at the broom excitedly: "You are a seeker, it's time for you to show off!"
Harry said "Oh" and raised his wand to point at the big key that was flapping its wings.
"Accio!"
The big key flapped its wings feebly, but could not escape the pull of the curse.
Harry grabbed the key and raised an eyebrow at Ron.
"Sometimes...the Seeker doesn't really need his broomstick."
