Only five minutes later, Harry rushed out of the classroom with cheers, while Malfoy followed Harry with a gloomy expression and walked out slowly.
"I did it, Professor, I did it!"
As soon as he walked out of the classroom, Harry rushed to Professor Blaine, who had already realized it, and shouted excitedly, "I understand your prompt, Professor, it is indeed very simple. I only used a little magic spell to kill him." Got them!"
"How did you do that, Harry!"
Hermione was the first to recover from her stunned state. She rushed to Harry, her fingers trembling with excitement.
"Excellent, Potter!"
Amosta smiled happily, "The method is only second. The most important thing is that you have overcome the fear in your heart. This is a great thing... There is no doubt that the winner, Potter, I want to give Gryphon Plus fifty points more," Amosta looked at Draco, who was a little left out, and smiled.
"Whether or not the final kill is completed is not that important. Facing dangerous dark creatures, he did not choose to escape, but mustered up the courage to draw his sword and confront him. This is also very remarkable. Malfoy, you are also for Slater. Lin won by thirty points!"
No matter what, both Harry and Draco did what most people failed to do. The young wizards applauded them with admiration. Ron shouted happily and threw Harry's schoolbag into the air. , the textbooks in his schoolbag fell to the floor, and Harry grinned extremely happily, without the slightest hint of grudge.
Draco, who was surrounded by Slytherin wizards, no longer looked so ugly. He quietly looked at Professor Blaine. When he found that the other person was also looking at him with a smile, Draco pursed his lips shyly. , lowered his head proudly.
No one noticed that when Ginny saw the book flying out of Harry's schoolbag, her face suddenly turned pale and her body suddenly stiffened!
In the end, no one except Harry's group came up with the secret to defeating the Inferi. However, compared to the first time they faced the Inferi, the young wizards seemed to be in good mental condition. After coming out of the maze for the first time, everyone looked like they were about to faint.
Professor Brain used magic to repair Neville's robe. He stood in front of the oak door of the classroom and gave ten points to each young wizard from each college who persisted to the end. At this moment, the magic contract had completely lost its effectiveness. He finally It can teach young wizards how to deal with the Inferi.
"--This is a very evil creation of black magic that challenges people's moral bottom line. When thousands of Inferi gather into a huge army of death, it can indeed cause us a lot of trouble, but when the number is limited , it’s very easy to deal with,”
Amosta glanced at Harry who already knew the answer, and asked with a smile,
"How many people noticed the reminder I gave Mr. Potter before he first entered the classroom?"
"Most dark creatures don't like light--"
Hermione said quietly, slapping her forehead in annoyance, and suddenly understood,
"It's fire, right? Professor, like devil's grass, the inferi like darkness and moisture. We only need a fire spell to deal with them!"
Because of the 100 points that Harry and the others got, the score gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin was not as big as before. This made it possible for Gryffindor to win the Academy Cup again this year. During dinner, When Professor McGonagall came over to ask how the second-year wizard's course selection was going, he walked up to Harry and gave him an encouraging smile.
Senior wizards all know what the Inferi is. It is indeed an amazing achievement for a second-year wizard to defeat the Inferi with his own wisdom and courage.
That night, a grand celebration party was held in the Gryffindor common room. Fred and George brought a lot of butterbeer from Hogsmeade. Harry liked this mild alcoholic drink. Unknowingly, In his sleep, he drank until he was dizzy among the admiring crowds of people.
Although Professor Blaine's hint was obvious enough, she still didn't realize that the Inferi were afraid of fire. Hermione was worried about this. While the crowd was celebrating, she retaliated by getting several books introducing the Inferi from the library. He was sitting on the sofa near the fireplace reading a tome of corpses.
"Congratulations, Harry, you have accomplished another great achievement--"
At the end of the banquet, Wood squeezed in front of Harry, who was surrounded by the crowd, and raised a glass to pay tribute to him. However, before Harry could smile shyly, he immediately added,
"I assume you haven't forgotten that this Saturday is our match against Hufflepuff, Harry?"
"Hiccup - of course I haven't forgotten,"
Harry burped loudly. If it weren't for Ron's support, he might not be able to stand alone. "I promise you that I will do my best, Wood!"
"You just have to promise me one thing, Harry."
Harry's carelessness made Wood a little unhappy. He said with a stern face, "Then win the game and send those idiots from Hufflepuff back home!"
"Oh my God!"
Fred and George were about to say a few words for Harry when Percy, who had just completed his night watch duty, got in through the round hole behind the Fat Lady's portrait. When he saw the chaos in the common room, he First he showed an incredulous expression, and then he shouted angrily at everyone,
"Isn't it a little early to celebrate Easter? Everyone, if you haven't messed around with your days, you should know that tomorrow is Tuesday, which is the day you need to go to school!"
"Don't be such a spoiler, Percy!"
Faced with Percy's yelling, George waved the empty wine bottle in his hand unhappily, "Today Harry and the others almost scored a hundred points for Gryffindor House. We are just celebrating winning the House Cup in advance!"
"Clean up this place and go back to bed, now!"
Percy seemed not to have heard George's explanation. He glared menacingly at everyone who made eye contact with him.
"Even if the Academy Cup in the next ten years belongs to Gryffindor, that's not the reason for you to violate the rules!"
In the next few days, Harry's life was not very good. First of all, Professor Snape definitely didn't like to see Harry being in the limelight in this school. In the potions class on Tuesday afternoon, he was even quieter than usual. Points were deducted from Gryffindor even more severely. Professor Snape deducted almost half of the points transferred to Harry, Hermione, and Neville in the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical class.
He laughed at Harry in class that the swelling potion he brewed could poison a fire dragon. In order to make Harry's memory longer, he required Harry's after-class papers to be half as long as those of Slytherin students.
In addition, Oliver Wood has also officially entered the warm-up stage before the game. Every afternoon after school, without even waiting for dinner, he picks out everyone on the team one by one and drags them to the court to practice until the moon comes. Only when they climbed to the center would they be willing to let them back.
Fred and George privately told Harry that with Wood's practice, let alone the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup, as long as they persisted for two more months, they would be able to compete in the World Cup.
However, this also proves from the side that the Gryffindor team is confident in winning the championship this year.
During this period, something disturbing happened.
On Wednesday night, as Harry walked up to the dormitory building after returning from football practice, he saw Neville rushing out of the dormitory with a panicked look on his face.
"Harry - I don't know who did it, I just found out -"
Neville looked at Harry in horror and pushed open the door.
The contents of Harry's suitcase were thrown everywhere, his clothes were lying in a pile on the floor, the sheets were torn from his four-poster bed, the drawers of the bedside table were pulled open, and the contents were scattered everywhere. on the mattress.
Harry opened his mouth in surprise and stepped on several pages that had fallen out of "Walking with Trolls".
When he and Neville put the sheets back on the bed, Ron, Seamus and Dean also walked in. Dean yelled loudly when he saw this scene,
"What's going on, Harry?"
"have no idea--"
Harry frowned and shrugged his shoulders. Ron was looking carefully at Harry's clothes. He found that all the pockets of Harry's clothes were turned outside, and his schoolbag was also turned upside down.
"It looks like someone is looking for something!" Ron said with a serious expression, "I believe it's not gold galleons. Harry, look and see if something is missing?"
It didn't take much effort for Harry to discover that Riddle's diary was missing. When he told Hermione about it the next day, Hermione's expression was not much better than Neville's last night.
"But---only Gryffindors can steal..., I mean, others don't know the password..."
"It's not ruled out that Malfoy finally figured out how to brew Polyjuice Potion from Snape. Have any of you lost your hair recently?"
Ron puffed out his cheeks and said.
"Compared to Malfoy--"
Harry said worriedly, "I think this is more likely Dobby's doing..."
