Soon, the little witch found the potion that allowed them to pass through the fire.
Harry picked up the bottle and shook it. There was too little potion in it.
"Hermione, which bottle will bring you back?"
"This." Hermione pointed to the round bottle on the far right.
Hearing that Harry was thinking of sending her back again, this time the little witch directly picked up the bottle and threw it to the ground with all her strength.
"Bang." The bottle fell to the ground and shattered, and a cold breath filled the air.
"Hermione, you..." Harry looked at the ground dumbfounded. The little witch's behavior was beyond expectations, making the words he had just thought of completely meaningless.
"Don't try to persuade me to go back. We agreed to come together and leave together." The last sentence reminded Hermione of Ron. She lowered her head, her eyes dim.
But then the little witch raised her head again and encouraged herself in her heart. Ron had paved the way for the two of them with his own sacrifice. Now it was time for them to fulfill their vows. She would never allow herself to back down.
Harry pulled out the cork and brought the mouth of the bottle to his eyes. It was so dark that nothing could be seen inside, just like the color of the flames in front of him.
"It's not that I want you to stay, Hermione. The antidote in the bottle may not be enough for two people." Harry handed over the small black bottle to show that what he said was true.
"You know? Aini is a very knowledgeable person. Although I often feel that he is not proficient in the use of some magic spells, I really learned a lot."
Perhaps to relieve the tension in her heart, the little witch kept chanting.
"He told me that long before the wand was invented, wizards would use magical materials to assist in casting spells, and even today many wizards do this."
As she spoke, Hermione pointed her wand at the mouth of the bottle, and a trace of the medicine was drawn out.
"Although the invention of the wand made it easier for wizards to cast spells, it is undeniable that it also weakened the power of magic."
There was less and less liquid floating out of the bottle, and the little witch became more careful in her movements.
"Some special magics still need to be used with materials even today, such as the floo network used by almost every British wizard. In addition to requiring wizards to provide magic power, floo powder is also indispensable."
At this time, the bottle was empty, and a small ball of liquid was floating in front of the black flame.
"There are also some types of magic that will be more powerful if they are cast with materials, but not all modern magic is like this. If you mix magic materials indiscriminately, unpredictable things may happen."
"Harry, come here." Hermione and Harry stood side by side behind the potion, facing the portal sealed by black flames.
"Fortunately, Aini taught me several magic spells for avoiding danger last year. They are all magic spells that are not difficult but can rely on external forces to exert stronger effects. They just come in handy today."
"Get ready, Harry." After giving the final reminder, Hermione lit the small ball of liquid in front of her with the wand in her hand.
"The flames dissipate."
A blue light curtain floated out from the front end of the little witch's wand and shrouded the front. It had an immediate effect - a large gap appeared in the black flame.
"Come on." Hermione slapped the boy who was standing still and pushed him in, and then quickly stepped into the next room.
Seeing them, Aini raised his eyebrows unconsciously. This was another deviation from the original work.
As Harry expected, the antidote in the black vial was indeed only enough for one person, and the previous levels were specially designed by Dumbledore for them.
The three-headed dog Luwei was to control the time for them to break through the barrier. Harry and James Potter's personalities were so similar that Dumbledore didn't think he could withstand the scratching of the kitten in his chest and gave up exploring what was under the trap door. secret.
Both father and son are very adventurous people at heart, even without Snape, Quirrell, and Voldemort. Harry would also find other excuses to convince himself to enter the trap door to find out.
If he had known how to deal with Lu Wei in advance, he might have discovered earlier that the trap door had been locked before today...
Or even if C4 is added, Alajo can't open it.
A certain old man on the eighth floor of Hogwarts is very evil.
The devil's net below is not a level at all, it's just to prevent the three of them from falling.
In the first room, the little wizard was allowed to play with broomsticks underground, which was really Dumbledore's helpless move.
The performance of the little savior after entering school was not as outstanding as that of his parents. At most, he and mediocrity mutually disliked each other, which made the old principal very troubled.
In view of the environment in which Harry has lived since childhood, if Dumbledore still wants him to go on step by step as he envisions, he must help his intended "savior" to build up his confidence.
If Harry was making soy sauce throughout the whole process, it would obviously not satisfy Dumbledore.
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of anything else that only Harry could do that Hermione and Ron couldn't replace.
Except Quidditch.
After communicating with Professor Flitwick, the style of the first level was determined.
And with the talent that Harry has shown now, in the future plan, it will not work alone, and he must have a reliable companion.
Just like in ancient heroic novels, the protagonist always meets a noble and beautiful woman who can provide him with great help.
At the same time, he also needs a friend with a humble background and extraordinary talents who can help him deal with a lot of troubles, and because of the gap in life experience, he will not completely overshadow the protagonist.
Dumbledore believes that Hermione is a good candidate. She is extremely talented, down-to-earth and hard-working. She is also a Muggle and can fulfill the latter role very well.
And Ron is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the former.
Born in the ancient Weasley family, the family's tentacles have already extended to all aspects of the magical world, and the benefits to their subsequent actions are immeasurable.
His mediocre talents will not hinder Dumbledore's confidence in Harry.
The best thing is that this red-haired boy is the child of Molly and Arthur. Whether it is reliability or inner preference, he is enough to firmly occupy the first spot.
The second level naturally needs to be tailor-made for him.
For Ron, Dumbledore did not have high requirements in terms of strength, so the test for him was his character.
In fact, chess ability is not the key to passing the second level. I chose wizard chess as the obvious topic just to let Ron naturally stand in the position of a chess player.
No matter how he controls the chess pieces to fight, and no matter which chess piece he chooses, he will eventually face the choice at the end of the second level.
And if Ron deliberately acts evil in the chess game, or fails to pass the final test and chooses to save himself and sacrifice his companions, the white chess pieces will knock him down by "accidental collision", and then automatically admit defeat because of the violation, letting Harry and Hermione passed the level.
