Chapter 267 You must first know what you are facing
Although he received Dumbledore's support, Vader did not act immediately.
He waited patiently until everyone had finished their exams, and then the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
Although Vader has no interest in Quidditch, this is the final game of this school year, and everyone in the school who has time comes to watch.
The Ravenclaw team played very hard, and several people were injured because they were too fast and could not react. It's a pity...
Cooking can be disguised, but strength cannot be disguised.
Some of the players who performed well last year have graduated and left. The replacement players tried their best but still lost the game.
The Gryffindor students cheered loudly, and the Ravenclaws barely maintained their demeanor, congratulating them on winning the championship.
"Thank you, you played great too!"
Gryffindor's Wood gave a thumbs up, smiling so hard that his teeth on both sides were exposed.
Roger, the captain of Ravenclaw, snorted coldly, showing a smiley expression.
In addition to Gryffindor who was still celebrating in the stadium, students from other houses began to return to the castle, especially Slytherin, who was the first to go.
So when everyone returned to the castle, they found that the foyer was blocked again. Many students from the Snake Academy gathered around, looking up at a new announcement——
[Six Monthly Challenge]
[Not long ago, the Hogwarts warriors defeated the giant ball python and proved their strength and courage.
However—
Is that true?
We all know that ball pythons are docile creatures and the professor is always there to watch. Fighting a ball python is as safe as cutting a cake under the protection of your mother.
Do you dare to challenge truly dangerous creatures?
Can you not retreat in the face of death?
Do you want to know how far your magic can go?
This is an event that only truly outstanding, brave and fearless challengers can participate in, even with the risk of death!
Warning: Not for the faint of heart! ! !
Those who are interested in participating, please gather in the empty classroom on the third floor at 10 o'clock tonight. You can form your own team, there is no number requirement.
In this event, all challengers are partners.
Remarks: Challengers need to meet the following conditions.
First, enter the finals in the May Challenge.
Second, master the Iron Armor Curse, Obstacle Curse, Petrification Curse...]
What follows is a string of spell names.
The words warning were highlighted and became several times larger.
Who would admit that they are a coward?
Everyone who met the conditions loudly stated that they would definitely participate. There were one or two students who had not yet mastered the spells and immediately went to study without even eating.
So when the Gryffindors also came back, they found that no one in the entire school seemed to discuss their victory anymore.
Whether it is the annoying Slytherin or the students of his own college, they are talking about another thing.
They all rushed to the foyer to read the notice. When they returned to the long table, except for Wood who was still thinking about his Quidditch trophy, everyone else also changed the topic.
"Hogwarts is getting cooler and cooler. I thought I was just waiting to see the results and go home after the game!"
Fred said happily.
"Although looking at grades is also a risk, I still prefer this."
George crossed his hands and held his chin, and asked enthusiastically: "Dangerous creatures...will they be?" What?”
“Maybe a centipede as big as a snake?” Harry guessed.
"Maybe it's a bunch of spiders as big as a house! Right, Ronnie?" Fred winked at his brother.
"What - spider?!!!"
Ron, who had just walked over, screamed, his face turned pale with fear.
Ron is most afraid of spiders because of a prank the twins played when they were young. "Yes." Fred's face was gloomy like a ghost: "They will suddenly pounce out from the corner, and you, my brother, will be caught off guard by a spider..."
George, who sneaked out of his seat, cooperated tacitly, and suddenly stretched out his hands to grab Ron's shoulders.
“Ahhhhhh——”
Frightened screams suddenly sounded in the auditorium, and at the same time there was the laughter of the Weasley twins.
The Weasley brother was teasing his younger brother, but the students who heard a few words spread the rumor.
"Have you heard...it's a spider..."
"How many times have we dealt with each other in the maze... The school looks down on people too much..."
"The conditions for the competition are probably designed to bluff people. I can also deal with those spiders..."< br>
The little wizards are eager to prove their strength.
So, when it was past nine o'clock in the evening, Harry and others came to the third floor, only to find that the place was crowded with people. Surprisingly, it was not noisy.
They squeezed through the crowd with difficulty. Harry followed Fred and others with his head covered. Suddenly, there was a loosening in front of him, and he almost fell.
Someone helped him, and Harry hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you——"
"It seems that Mr. Potter, who just won the game, still misses the feeling of being on the broom. So much so that he forgot how to use his legs. "
A cold, sinister voice came from above his head. Harry stiffened and slowly raised his head, and sure enough he saw the professor he hated the most.
Snape, who was pulled to work overtime, held a list of names and glanced at the bustling group of students around him with cold and empty eyes. Then with a swish, everyone pushed and shoved, and another half meter of space was cleared. space.
Only Harry was left standing in front of Professor Snape, accepting the cold gaze.
Next to him, the twin brothers were winking at him, asking him to be braver.
Harry finally understood why there were so many people here and why it was so quiet.
He took a deep breath, prepared for trouble, and said, "Professor, I'm here to take part in the challenge."
Snape's expression was as ugly as ever, and he raised his eyelids , glanced at Harry, and although he didn't say a word, Harry felt that he had been despised from head to toe.
He clenched his fists unconsciously, and then heard the professor in front of him say:
"Iron Armor Curse."
"What...oh, oh! The armor protects Body!"
Harry hurriedly took out his wand. Fortunately, he was already familiar with this spell and completed it smoothly.
Snape said nothing more and let him into the empty classroom.
After Harry entered, he found a strange professor with disabled hands and feet waiting inside.
He tried hard not to focus on the other person's mutilated legs and arms, and whispered: "Professor?"
"Oh, Harry Potter!"
Professor Kettleburn was very Excitedly, she patted him with her only intact palm.
"I'm going to retire soon, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see you in my class! I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity in the end."
"Uh... hello, "Professor." Harry said with some embarrassment: "What do I need to do?"
"You have to know what you are going to face. If you are afraid, you still have a chance to quit." Professor En said.
"Facing... what?" Harry didn't understand.
"Well, a thousand-year-old guy. I can't believe there is such a big guy hiding in Hogwarts... My retirement report was submitted too early."
Professor Kettleburn said regretfully, while pointing his wand at the wall next to him.
Harry turned his head to look, and suddenly felt that all the blood in his body seemed to have solidified.
A pair of tawny eyes stared at him, and a terrifying sense of crisis came over him!
