Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"Send a distress signal with his wand and let Dumbledore handle it! Our mission isn't over yet!" Bai Lin struggled to his feet, and Harry quickly went to help him. Hearing his words, Harry nodded and ran over to pick up Cedric's wand.

Just then, the other side of the plant wall started to move again, revealing a path. A figure dressed in blue ran out from it; it was Furong.

"Krum! Krum has gone mad!"

Upon hearing Furong's cry, Bai Lin felt a sense of foreboding. It seemed that Krum was still not out of the clutches of evil, but he quickly realized something was amiss.

Fleur is a very beautiful girl, and judging from her performance in the first two rounds, she is naturally outstanding among the girls in Beauxbatons. However, compared to Cedric, whose strength is close to that of an adult wizard, and Krum, whose combat power is far superior to that of an ordinary wizard, she is just an ordinary girl. Although Krum cannot beat Kiki in close combat, if he uses dark magic to ambush Fleur, she will be completely unable to resist. Therefore, in the original story, she was knocked out by Krum, who was under the Imperius Curse, and was entangled in vines.

At this moment, although Fleur seemed to be shouting urgently, Bai Lin immediately realized that she did not seem that nervous or anxious. Her sportswear was very neat, which was in stark contrast to Harry next to her. Bai Lin immediately realized this.

"Harry, watch out! Fleur is the one being controlled!" Bai Lin shouted.

Harry picked up Cedric's wand, and before he could react to Whitescale's cry, Fleur yelled at him, "Ixpariyamas! (Expelliarmus)!" A red lightning bolt struck Harry, and his hand felt like it had been stunned. The pain and numbness caused his wand to fly out of his hand again.

However, it was Cedric's wand that flew out; he was still clutching his own wand in his left hand. He nimbly turned around and cast a Stunning Charm, but Fleur quickly dodged to the side and disappeared into the plant wall in the blink of an eye, as if she had been sucked in.

"Ampamp!" Bai Lin clutched his chest. The power of the Cruciatus Curse was slowly dissipating. Cedric was, after all, a kind young man. Even though he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, the magical energy that required strong negative emotions, such as hatred and loathing, to form was naturally not as much as that of those ruthless dark wizards. But in just over a minute, Bai Lin was already covered in sweat from the pain and felt completely powerless.

Fleur vanished in a flash, leaving the two of them with no way to find her. Bai Lin used Cedric's wand to send out a distress signal, then continued onward with the injured Harry.

Hagrid said in the team chat, "Mr. Crouch hasn't shown up yet. Should I switch targets?"

Bai Lin: "The Death Eaters are here. Cedric and Fleur were just controlled by the Imperius Curse, and Krum is still missing. Hagrid, go find Snape for help; there must be a lot of enemies around!"

Hagrid paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm going to find Dumbledore. Things seem very serious!" Hagrid was clearly extremely reluctant to "go to find Snape."

Bai Lin didn't care how Hagrid handled things. Cedric had actually benefited from the misfortune; although he missed out on the championship, his life should be saved. Fleur and Krum were still in danger, and his current task was to find them to avoid saving one and losing the other. Bai Lin couldn't forgive himself if anything happened to any of them.

He and Harry walked quickly into the depths of the maze, one after the other. Sure enough, the vines around them were very "sensible" and did not attack them. Bai Lin had a premonition that Fleur and Krum would be waiting for him ahead.

The two walked for about a kilometer when they unexpectedly met Furong in the passageway at a corner. She was walking out from the corner ahead, less than twenty meters away from them.

Fleur was clearly taken aback, her face full of surprise, while Harry had already taken a step forward and unleashed a "Disarmament" attack on her!

Fleur sensed something was wrong when she saw the two of them together. When she saw Harry take out his wand, she was terrified and quickly retreated, hiding behind a corner, just in time to avoid Harry's disarming spell.

"Have you two formed an alliance?" Fleur shouted, naturally assuming that Whitelin and Harry had already teamed up, which was why she attacked her as soon as she saw her.

"Stop pretending! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!" Harry shouted. He was now full of fighting spirit and also wanted to defeat the other warriors fairly and squarely. Nobody wanted to be last, right? Besides, Fleur was already controlled by the Death Eaters, so defeating her would be a way of saving her.

Furong shouted, "I just encountered a lot of eight-eyed giant spiders. There are many dangerous creatures here. Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?" She seemed completely unaware of the battle that had just taken place.

Without saying a word, Bai Lin unleashed a shattering spell on the plant wall where Fu Rong was hiding. The violent explosion blasted a two-meter-diameter hole in the corner of the plant wall, and Fu Rong was forced out by the blast wave.

Harry raised his wand, preparing to cast a Stunning Charm on Fleur. This spell, along with the Disarming Charm, was the magic he had practiced most diligently during the summer. He also demonstrated his exceptional talent in Defense Against the Dark Arts, with the speed, intensity, and accuracy of his spellcasting already at the level of an adult wizard.

But before he could finish his spell, another figure emerged from the plant wall on the other side. It was another Hibiscus, with almost identical clothes, hairstyle, makeup, and posture. However, this Hibiscus immediately unleashed a Thunder Explosion on Harry. Bai Lin was startled and quickly summoned Catherine.

As it turned out, Bai Lin's first reaction was correct. In the current environment, everyone was in a narrow space of about one meter wide, and no one had room to dodge left or right. The power of the thunderous explosion could be displayed to the maximum extent.

Catherine's voice rang out just in time: "Divine Protection!"

A flash of white light appeared before Bai Lin and Harry's eyes. At the same time, a violent explosion with the power of a C4 bomb came from above them. However, the flames and shockwave of the explosion were blocked by something. The two felt a pressure that pressed them hard to the ground, but they quickly recovered.

Bai Lin looked up and saw that he and Harry were protected by a shield of white light, which is why the second Fleur's Thunder Blast did not harm them.

Before the second Furong could react, Bai Lin fired a Shadow Arrow at her. Furong nimbly jumped away, and the Shadow Arrow pierced a large, dark hole in the bushes beside her. Knowing she was no match for Bai Lin, she used the same trick again, disappearing into the bushes once more.

"How come there are two hibiscus?" Harry exclaimed in surprise.

"Since the one behind us that attacked us must be fake, the one in front must be real!" Bai Lin pulled up Harry, who had been knocked to the ground, and went to check on the real Fleur. His Shattering Charm seemed to have shaken her quite badly, and the Deep Protection he cast later clearly didn't cover Fleur, who was more than ten meters away. She was also pushed to the ground by the shockwave from the Thunderclap.

"An enemy has transformed into your appearance, and this is the second time they've attacked us!" Bai Lin said as he helped Fu Rong up.

Furong rubbed her head, as if she had hit it on a rock. Although it wasn't broken, it was swollen and looked painful.

Furong said, "Enemies? There are other people here? And they've turned into my likeness?" She found it unbelievable. However, she seemed very weak, and her body collapsed directly into Bai Lin's arms, which Bai Lin caught.

"Watch out! She's not Fleur either!" Harry shouted.

Bai Lin was shocked upon hearing this and quickly pushed Fu Rong away, only to see her pull out a gleaming silver dagger from her lower back and stab it towards her lower abdomen.

"Damn it!" Bai Lin twisted his body, narrowly dodging the dagger. At the same time, he swung his elbow at Fu Rong's shoulder. With his strength, he could have broken Fu Rong's shoulder.

However, a faint armor suddenly shone on Furong's body, and Bai Lin felt as if he had hit a rock. He didn't hurt her, but his arm was sore from the shock.

Fleur was exceptionally skilled, slashing one after another, leaving Bai Lin only able to dodge left and right. He understood that Barty's goal was probably still for Harry to win the championship and then teleport to old Tom Riddle's grave. So everything he had arranged was to eliminate himself and the other warriors, leaving only Harry.

However, Furong was exhausted after missing all five of her attacks. Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Lin used the Iron Mountain Lean from Bajiquan. Sure enough, even though Furong was protected by armor, she was still sent flying by the powerful force.

Hibiscus landed lightly, unharmed. She chuckled, a dagger flew out, and she pulled out her magic wand instead.

Bai Lin immediately laughed. Now that he was on guard, he had nothing to fear. He easily dodged the dagger and cast "Expelliarmus!" on the hand holding her wand. Bai Lin's spell was so fast that it far exceeded Fleur's and Harry's expectations.

Before Hibiscus could even utter her spell, she was struck by Bai Lin's disarming spell. With a scream, her wand flew away, and her hand was also badly injured, as if it had been stabbed hard by a high-voltage electric baton. She fell to the ground in pain.

"Professor, watch out!" Harry shouted. Before White Scale could press his advantage, another Hibiscus emerged from the nearby plant wall and unleashed a Killing Curse at him.

Bai Lin was terrified the moment the second Fleur Wand was raised. Fortunately, Harry warned him in time, and he immediately cast the Disarming Charm again, which clashed with the Killing Curse of the second Fleur Wand in mid-air, creating a "battle of inner strength." Bai Lin's magic power quickly gained an overwhelming advantage, and it seemed that he was about to force his opponent to abandon his wand to survive when the plant wall next to him rippled, and a third Fleur Wand rushed out.

Bai Lin was utterly exasperated. How many Death Eaters had managed to sneak in? Were the staff at Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic all incompetent? Out of Bai Lin's sight, Snape sneezed violently.

The third Fleur pointed her wand at Bai Lin, but before she could cast her spell, Harry had already cast a Stunning Curse. The red magical energy clashed with the Killing Curse she had just cast, causing her wand to explode with a loud bang, like a large firecracker exploding in front of her. With a bang, the third Fleur was blown to the ground, her face a bloody mess, seriously injured.

At the same time, Bai Lin had successfully suppressed the second Fu Rong. Not only was her wand knocked away, but the Killing Curse also had a portion of its energy backlash, knocking her unconscious before she could even scream.

Bai Lin took a breath. Although he was now powerful in magic, he always fought with his life on the line when dealing with black wizards who constantly invoked the three forbidden spells. One wrong move and he would be gone, and all his efforts would be in vain.

He was about to go forward to see who these fake hibiscus were when, at that moment, the plant wall that had been keeping its distance from him began to move. The vines on both sides grew wildly and surged toward the crowd. The three hibiscus that had been knocked down were immediately wrapped up by the tentacle-like vines and dragged into the wall.

"Never mind, let's go!" Bai Lin waved his hand, urging Harry to run quickly. Perhaps these plants would instinctively avoid provoking powerful wizards, but this maze should have some kind of "transformation" mechanism. Every once in a while, it would be forcibly changed to increase the difficulty of the maze. This time it should be a forced transformation. The two of them rushed into the depths of the maze one after the other.

Harry sprinted forward, running more than a hundred meters before the plant wall behind him quieted down a bit. But just then, a plant wall suddenly rose up between Harry and Bai Lin, separating the two of them.

Bai Lin pointed and with a single move, he shattered the plant wall, creating a hole more than a meter in diameter. Bai Lin crawled through, but he was surprised to find that the path on the other side of the wall was completely different from the one he had just taken, and Harry had vanished without a trace.

"WTF! We've been tricked by the plants!" Bai Lin couldn't help but curse.

Although he couldn't see Harry, Bai Lin had a feeling that this path seemed to be closer to the center of the maze. He gritted his teeth and ran along the path. But as soon as he turned a corner, he was shocked to find a ferocious beast blocking his way. He looked closely and saw that it was a snarling, furious venomous leopard.

Bai Lin didn't quite understand the maze's mechanics, but having read the original story, he knew that besides the Sphinx that gave Harry the secret code, Harry also encountered Dementors and Blasttails in the maze. This led Bai Lin to deduce that the beasts encountered in the maze were likely illusions created by some kind of simulation mechanism. Firstly, a high school friendly match wouldn't use a monster like a Dementor, used to punish death row inmates, as a challenge. Secondly, why did Harry encounter things he disliked, not other monsters? This also suggests that the maze must have read the warriors' minds and thus simulated obstacles accordingly.

If Bai Lin were to name the wild beast he hates most, it would undoubtedly be the venomous leopard that caused such chaos in the zoo's beast arena. Not only did it result in significant casualties, but it also led to Bai Lin's expulsion from the French Ministry of Magic. He absolutely despises it. Legend has it that the venomous leopard in Africa has repeatedly killed entire villages. Such an extremely dangerous monster certainly wouldn't actually appear in a friendly match. Remember, the last Triwizard Tournament was marred by a chicken-headed, snake-bodied monster going out of control, resulting in student injuries and the deaths of three headmasters. This reboot is even less likely to feature any uncontrollable monsters (of course, monsters deliberately brought in by someone to make things difficult for Bai Lin don't count).
