Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 475 The Second Game

In mid-December, Hogwarts hosted the second match of the Triwizard Tournament at the Quidditch Field.

There is a long stone road floating in the stadium, which starts from the entrance and winds upward into the air. There is a platform not far away from the stone road at intervals, and the large platform at the end is almost level with the audience seats.

This is the stage where the Warriors will perform today, and the audience is talking about it.

"Are they going to have a race?" Dean asked the person next to him.

Ron said, "Maybe, but we have to kick others off the road."

Lavender said, "The road is wide enough for them to run together."

Ron said worriedly, "Krum and Diggory will run faster."

Everyone was talking about it, but Neville looked around and after a while asked the people around him: "Have you seen Charles?"

After hearing this, the others also looked around.

"He's never been here before." Ron shrugged. "It seems to be the same today."

The competition began at this time. No leader gave a speech today, only Dumbledore said a few brief words.

"Hahahaha!"

Ron suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter could be heard across almost the entire Quidditch pitch.

Colin Creevey immediately raised his camera and the flash went off continuously.

Harry heard Ron's laughter and saw the flash of the camera, hanging there weakly, wondering how he was so unlucky to be right in front of the Gryffindor stand. All he could do now was pray that Seamus would come quickly.

He looked to the side and found that the Dementor was also looking at him, as if he felt that the other party was thinking the same thing as he was.

Seamus was already standing at the starting point, waving to the audience.

As Dumbledore gave the signal for the race to begin, Seamus ran onto the cobblestones.

A group of dwarf pig monsters immediately appeared in front of him. The long-legged monsters that looked like piglets rushed towards him at a very high speed, and the road behind him began to disintegrate and fall off. If he did not move forward, he would have to fall down.

Simo cast a spell forward, and a group of fists flew out, knocking down all the dwarf pig monsters.

Then two walls of light appeared in front of me. The green light on the left said "+3", and the red light on the right said "×5".

Simo originally ran to the right subconsciously, but immediately realized something was wrong, so he turned and passed through the light wall on the left.

After passing through the wall of light, three blue figures appeared behind him and ran forward following him.

A large group of fire crabs appeared in front of them. They had colorful jewels on their backs and scorpion-like tails that could breathe fire.

Simo used Clear Water Spring on the fire crabs, and the three blue figures beside him used the same spell. Four high-pressure water jets flushed all the fire crabs off the road.

After passing this level, he came to the first platform and the stone road behind him stopped collapsing.

There was an invisible wall on the platform, in the middle of two transparent walls, and below was a brick-like wall made of red, yellow, blue and green gems, arranged in a scattered manner. Hermione stood on it with her hands holding a wooden board wider than her body. The top and both sides were piled with fist-sized stones.

Ludo Bagman serves as the narrator, explaining to the audience how to pass this level.

The gems on the gem wall below Hermione can swap positions with the gems next to them. As long as there are more than three connected gems of the same color, they will disappear, the gems above will fall down, and the stones will fill the empty space.

The warrior can remove the gems on both sides to let the stones fall down to reduce the burden on the assistant, or he can let the assistant drill out first. It depends on the choice.

If the delay is too long, the assistants inside will run out of energy and will be crushed by the rocks.

This was a test of wisdom, and Seamus was scratching his head. Hermione shouted, "It's okay, take your time, I can hold on!"

Many viewers were moved. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but as a girl, it must be very tiring to carry so many stones on her shoulders. Yet she told her companions not to worry. What kind of spirit is that?

Colin said worriedly, "I don't think Miss Granger will be able to hold on for much longer."

The third-grade students around nodded.

Only Ginny smiled, not worried at all.

Seamus has no idea how to play Candy Crush Saga. The gems cannot be destroyed by the protection spell cast by Dumbledore himself, so he can only take it slow.

Time passed little by little. After more than ten minutes, Hermione and the stones on both sides went down three floors as a whole, and they looked no different from the beginning.

Hermione suddenly felt her head itchy, so she held the wooden board with one hand and scratched her head with the other, thinking that she should wash her hair tonight.

The reason why Simo was the first to play was that his score in the first game was low. The higher the score, the later he would be ranked. He could see what the previous players did and learn from their experience.

Krum breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hermione scratching her head. It turned out that the stones were not heavy. He could take his time next time.

"Wow!"

It took Seamus half an hour to remove all the gems on one side. Half of the stones fell out, and then Hermione jumped out.

As soon as Hermione landed, the platform moved over and connected with the track.

She took out her wand and said to Seamus, "Let's go!"

At this time, the track that had stopped splitting began to drop rocks again.

A group of cruppies appeared in front, and with Hermione's help, Seamus found it much easier to deal with them.

Another light wall appeared in front of us. The green light wall on the right had "+4" written on it, and the red light wall on the left had "×3" written on it.

Simo had just dealt with a group of Tebo Warthogs, and without having time to think about it, he subconsciously ran to the right towards the same green wall of light as last time.

Hermione immediately yelled, "Seamus, left."

Without giving it much thought, Seamus ran to the left as she instructed.

Hermione herself rushed through the wall of light on the right, with four more blue figures behind her, while the number of figures behind Seamus increased to eleven.

Seamus said to Hermione, "I'll be in the front, and you'll be in command from behind!"

He felt that Hermione was better at arithmetic, so he gave up the command.

A large group of Winged Demons appeared on the track ahead. They were giant butterfly-like animals with a pair of bat-like wings. Their black bodies had a huge bright blue stripe running across them. They were both beautiful and terrifying.

These winged demons ignored Seamus in front and pounced on Hermione behind from the air.

Seamus swung his wand, using the same fist spell he had used at the beginning.

He and eleven blue shadows cast a spell together, and an anti-aircraft firepower network appeared in the air, which blasted most of the curled-winged demons to pieces.

A curled-winged demon escaped and pounced on Hermione.

"The Winged Demon is coming!" Hermione used the Flying Spell before it got closer, and then used the Throwing Spell to throw the Winged Demon far away.

The Winged Demon was thrown onto the second Riding Agent and collided with Harry with a bang, causing Harry and the Dementors to sway on the shelf, like wind chimes hanging on the window.
