International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 153 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ([-] in [-])

To be honest, Lu Ren has never seen such a scene...

But it's always a good thing to get through levels quickly.

They went to the next room.

"Sprout's mechanism should be the devil's net, Professor McGonagall's is chess pieces, Flitwick is the one who casts spells on the stones, Lu Ren's card game, and some professor's troll... full of tricks, but also There are two checkpoints: Professor Dumbledore, Snape and Quirrell choose two out of three."

After they stepped into the room, two flames rose up in the room, quickly blocking the entrance and exit.This flame is also as unusual as the flame just now. There is a purple flame in front of the door leading to the front, and a white flame that blocks the retreat.There was nothing else in the room but a table, five bottles with inscriptions on them, and a roll of parchment.

Hermione grabbed the parchment, Lu Ren stood on her left, Harry stood on the right, and Ron tiptoed behind, and they read together:
Danger ahead, safety behind.

Two bottles are for help, three bottles are for bone erosion.

Five wizards have five rooms, and the rooms have different colors.

Five Wizarding Five schools, each with a different name.

Only one drink per person, one type of wand core, one form of Animagus.

Drinks, stick cores, and shapes are different.

Sheffer from Hogwarts lived in the red house;

Alger of Durmstrang can become a dog;

Audrey in Moon Mountain likes to drink tea;
The green house is to the left of the white house;

Green house owner drinking coffee;

A man with a unicorn core can become a bird;

The owner of the yellow house has the magic wand of the phoenix's tail feather;

Those who live in the middle house drink milk;
Maxim from Beauxbatons lived in the first house;
The core is a veela-haired wizard who lives next door to a cat-turning wizard;

The neighbor of the wizard who can turn into a horse has a wand with a phoenix core;
The core is a troll-bearded wizard drinking butterbeer;
Elena of Ilvermorny's core is the tail feather of the Thunderbird;
The wizard next door to the blue house is from Beauxbatons;
The wizard who cored his staff with Veela hair had a neighbor who drank mineral water.

A bottle with the name of the fish-turning wizard's alma mater can move you forward, and the cat-turning wizard's alma mater can send you back to where you came from.

The three of Harry:? ?

Lu Ren:? ? ?
Professor Snape, haven't you read the script? !What the hell is this!I remember the original question was not that difficult!He didn't give up, since Voldemort had passed, the one with the least amount of liquid in the bottle was the correct answer!

He walked to the table, took a closer look at each bottle, and found that the inside should be cursed!I can't tell how much liquid is in each bottle...

And to be honest, Lu Ren didn't dare to bet that the checkpoint became like this, and it seemed that he could only reason honestly.Hermione let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

"Great!" Hermione said, "This level is not magic, it's a test of our logical reasoning ability. Many great wizards' logical reasoning ability is short board, and they have to be trapped here forever."

So Voldemort, who successfully deduced the result, can't be regarded as a great wizard?Lu Ren complained in his heart.

"So which bottle should we drink?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Don't worry," Hermione muttered to herself as she picked up the parchment, read it a few more times, and walked up and down the row of bottles.Lu Ren showed a look of relief: Sure enough, Hermione is always reliable at critical moments.

Then he watched Hermione's expression change from confident to expressionless, and then confused and puzzled, her brows were wrinkled into a pimple.

"It's too complicated...I need to think about it." Hermione crossed her legs, leaning her back against a table leg, thinking.

Lu Ren also picked up the parchment and was writing on the ground with his magic wand.

He first summarized the information, the color of the house is red, white, green, yellow and blue; the core of the stick is phoenix tail feathers, unicorn horns, thunderbird tail feathers, veela hair and troll beard; drinks are tea, coffee, milk, beer and Water; the forms of the Animagus are dogs, cats, birds, fish and horses.The next step is reasoning.

He first drew five squares on the ground, representing five houses, from left to right, numbered one to five, and Maxim of Beauxbaton lived in the first house, on the far left.Because Maxim lived next to the blue house, and Sheffield, a Hogwarts wizard, lived in the red house, so the color of Maxim's house could only be one of yellow, green and white.

As mentioned in the hint, the green house is on the left of the white house, and the blue house is next to Maxim, so she cannot live in the green house and the white house, and she can only live in the yellow house.Madame Maxime of Beauxbaton lived in a yellow house and used the tail feathers of a phoenix as the core of her staff.

Next door to Maxim is the blue house, so the second room is blue, and the neighbor of the wizard who can turn into a horse has a wand with a phoenix core, so the owner of the second room can turn into a horse.The next step is to infer the color of the third house. The green house is to the left of the white house, so it cannot be on the far right, it can only be in the third or fourth position.If the green house is in the third room, that is, the middle one, the conditions say that the people living in the middle house drink milk, so the owner of the green house drinks milk, but the condition states that the owner of the green house drinks coffee, which is contradictory, so Green House is in fourth place.The color sequence of the house is yellow, blue, red, green, and white.

At the same time, through these, we can also know that the person in the third red room is Shepherd of Hogwarts, and she drinks milk.Audrey in Moon Mountain drank tea, the owner of the green house drank coffee, Sheffield drank milk, the man with the giant beard as a stick core drank beer, and the elimination method learned that Madam Maxim drank water.The person who uses Veela hair as a core has a neighbor who drinks water, and the person in the blue house uses Veela hair as a core.

Now the grid on the ground, the first one is almost filled: Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons, who lives in a yellow house and drinks water, uses a magic wand with a phoenix core, the only unknown is what she can become .As for the fifth house, we know nothing about it.

Lu Ren's action attracted the other three people. They watched Lu Ren deduce on the ground, and finally almost filled the first grid.Inspired by a flash of inspiration, Hermione hurriedly pulled out her wand and joined in.

Hermione continued to reason on the basis of Lu Ren. "The wand core has a troll's beard and drinks beer. The first four are directly excluded, because their current wand cores and drinks have been determined, so they can only be the fifth. Elena's wand core of Ilvermorny is Thunderbird's tail feathers, Thunderbird's tail feathers, ruled out house 1.2.5, and Ilvermorny prevented her from being in room 3, so Elena lived in the fourth room."

"The person with the unicorn core can turn into a bird. Currently, only room 3 among the five houses does not know the form of the core and Animagus, so it can only be attributed to Sheffield in room 3. Currently The five elements of room three are complete."

"The wizard with veela hair in the core is living next door to the wizard who can transform into a cat, so there is a person in rooms 1 and 3 who can transform into a cat, and Shefel in room 3 can already become a bird So, Madam Maxim can only be the older cat girl."

Hermione made three reasonings in one go. After the reasoning was completed, Lu Ren and the others already had the capital to go back the same way, and the information in the five squares was almost filled.

Harry looked aside for a while, and said, "Alger of Durmstrang can turn into a dog. The owners of rooms 1, 2, and 3 cannot turn into dogs. Room [-] is known to belong to Ilvermorny. Elena, so Alger can only live in room five."

"Isn't that all the others can be obtained through the method of elimination? Audrey lives in the second room!" Ron shouted excitedly.

Lu Ren quickly filled in the last vacancy. After deducing the result into the conditions, they found that it was correct, and immediately selected the potion that would allow them to move forward and back.

(The final derivation, will you little wizards know it? I will put the answer in the author's words at the end of the chapter! o(*￣▽￣*)o)

Harry took a step ahead, snatched the potion bottle that could move forward, and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he showed a bit of embarrassment: "Sorry, I didn't expect that there was only one sip of potion left in it." It's..."

Then his expression calmed down: "Okay, you guys go back, hurry up and send a message to Dumbledore with an owl, and I will restrain Snape so that he cannot steal the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort." -Harry It is still absolutely certain that Snape is the one who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, even though the design of these levels has made Quirrell show his feet.

The potion style of the logic puzzle level is really too strong, and it is almost a sign of "Thanks to Professor Snape for his efforts in this level".Since Snape was in charge of this level, whose level was that troll just now?Dumbledore?It must be Quirrell!Then the question comes, it is also a troll, is this thing related to the Halloween event?
It's a pity that Harry and the others have been blinded and failed to think of this.

"Voldemort killed my parents when I was just born. The hatred between me and him cannot be resolved. Only when one of us is completely dead can this hatred be eliminated. So don't try to stop me Seeing that his friends were unwilling to leave, Harry had to explain to them, "Besides, if I beat him once, I can beat him a second time." He pointed to his scar.

Ron wanted to say something, but Hermione stopped him. Hermione looked at Harry for a while and understood his intentions.So she directly opened another bottle of potion and took a sip.After entering the potion, Hermione shuddered.

"Good luck, you must come back alive." After she and Harry said this, they walked through the white flames and returned to the previous room without looking back.Ron also took a sip of the potion and left the room.

"We will notify Dumbledore as soon as possible." This is what he left behind.

Lu Ren gently hugged Harry, "I'm sorry, I left you to face all this alone. Be careful." Then he also took a sip of the potion.

To his surprise, the potion was very, very spicy.Lu Ren felt his whole body burn up after drinking it.He turned his head through the white flames and left the room.

The white flame didn't feel like a flame, but more like ice, bitingly cold.Fortunately, the antidote he drank brought heat, which kept Lu Ren's body warm, and he was able to return to the previous level unharmed.

Without the protection of that potion, he might be frozen to death by the pale flame.

Harry watched the three friends leave one after another, and he also mustered up the courage to walk into the purple flame and enter the last room.

The three of Hermione were running forward desperately without looking back. They were really racing against time.

When they ran to Professor McGonagall's checkpoint, they met Dumbledore who was hurrying over.

"Professor! Harry—" Seeing Dumbledore, Hermione stretched out a "healthy hand". Dumbledore nodded seriously, and then stretched his hands above his head, a big fiery red bird Just broke through the void, and led him to fly to the final level as a ray of light.

Lu Ren and the others turned around and ran back without even breathing.And when they rushed to the ground again, everything was over, and Dumbledore was slowly walking up with the unconscious Harry in his arms.

"professor--"

"We'll talk when we get back." Dumbledore stopped Hermione from asking, and then took Harry to the infirmary first.

When Dumbledore arrived, Harry and Quirrell were rolling into a ball, and Voldemort's remnant soul had already taken the opportunity to escape-the spell called "love" on Harry was too much for his dirty soul. It was too painful to bear.Dumbledore bent down and pulled Harry away from Quirrell—at this time, Quirrell had turned into fly ash, and checked Harry's body casually. After finding that nothing serious happened, Dumbledore also let go tone.

……

Back at the school hospital, Dumbledore handed Harry over to Madam Pomfrey. After everything settled down, he began to patiently answer Hermione's various questions: Ron couldn't intervene at all, Lu Ren It is almost no problem.

Fortunately, Dumbledore was really good at dealing with students like Hermione. He calmed Hermione with just a few words and successfully sent her and Ron away.

But he knew that the real troublemakers were behind.Sure enough, Lu Ren deliberately lagged behind Hermione and the others, and got a chance to be alone with Dumbledore.

"You saw through Quirrell's identity a long time ago, right?" Lu Ren gently closed the door of the infirmary, and Madam Pomfrey outside the door would not allow Hermione and the others to come in again.

"Yes." Dumbledore answered in the affirmative.

"So you let the Dark Lord spend a semester at Hogwarts - he even fulfilled his dream of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Dumbledore was silent, he did not answer Lu Ren's words.

"Let me just say, those traps under the trapdoor are too... How should I put it? It's a bit out of place. If I say it, I'm afraid it won't make others laugh: Hogwarts professors can Did you come up with these tricks?" Lu Ren said softly, "Why? Although I probably guessed it, I still want to get an answer from you."

"Lu Ren," Dumbledore said, with deep sadness in his eyes, "I am old, my strength is gradually declining, and he is accumulating strength, and he will make a comeback one day... …I can’t protect Harry all the time, and neither can you, your strength is still far from enough. Some just-right trials are necessary—at least the current risks are actually acceptable.”

Lu Ren nodded, "Sure enough, maybe you are right." He put his hand on the doorknob and was about to leave, but he turned around and asked Dumbledore, "Professor, may I ask if this is the case?" behavior, is it 'for the greater good'?"

Then he twisted open the door and walked out quickly.

　The answer is that if you want to go forward, you need the potion with "Ilvermorny" engraved on the bottle, and if you want to go back, you need "Beauxbatons".

　　The first half is reasoning. I was afraid of making it too boring, so I came to some interaction.
