Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 390 Voldemort's Study Notes
"Please go straight three hundred steps—"

The inscriptions on the pyramid glowed with blue light, dutifully guiding the three of them.

The miniature figure that marks Harry has been motionless at the top of this endless maze pyramid.

McGuffin and the others were very worried, thinking that something had happened to Harry.

But when a few people rushed here panting, they realized that it wasn't that he was not moving, but that he couldn't get out of the current situation.

Let's say that.

The top part of this pyramid-shaped maze is a very huge square platform, which is also composed of black and white stones, floating in the air, and the middle part has a huge square cavity.
A pool of water is suspended in the hollow.

There is a never-ending stream of water, or waterfall, at each of its four edges.

Fluttering.

Or flow downward, or flow upward...

And thus this is where all the currents and waterfalls start and end here.

On the way, the MacGuffin layer has seen those waterfalls flowing backwards or crossing the steps more than once,

And the puzzle of the never-ending waterfall...

Is this what it meant?

McGuffin came to the edge of the cave and looked down. Through the crystal-clear pool, he could see the black and white stone stairs of different shapes and crossing each other on the bottom.

Layer by layer, layer by layer, endlessly, until finally it turned into a blurred black and white scene at the farthest distance.

I didn't expect it to look like this from here.

They had just climbed up from the ladder, and when they saw the bottom of the pool, it was not so calm, it was a big whirlpool...the endless rotation, the water currents swallowed each other, merged, galloping and making a huge roar, until finally it flowed out again, turning into a water curtain and falling from the other side of the square cavity.

When McGuffin climbed up according to the navigation of the pyramid, the automatic stone stairs that were originally formed disappeared section by section, leaving only a section of the adjacent platform.

Not only that, they also saw that the square stone platform on the top was connected with a staircase on each side,
It seems that no matter where they are in this pyramid maze, they will find stone staircase passages, and they will gather here.

A bit too far.

Or talk about Harry's situation.

He couldn't escape now, not because he was trapped on this square platform.

Because this pyramid navigation is not a rare item in this endless maze, just walk two stone stairs to the platform, and you can find the same thing in the black vertical podium.

Even here, there are quite a few standing podiums, surrounding the pool,

The 'magic navigation' of the 'same model' is right there and you can see it at a glance.

Harry couldn't get out because he was stuck over the hole, or over the pool.

There hangs a stone staircase of the Moubius ring,
Black and white, two sides of one body, there is only one road, and the cycle goes on and on, never ending.

Harry Potter is walking on it,

Back and forth, back and forth, walking and climbing.

Like an ant that can never escape.

The only thing is that his movements seem to have slowed down dozens of times.

"What's that?" Hermione asked nervously, tugging at McGuffin's sleeve after she calmed her breath.

"I don't know." McGuffin shook his head, "It's better to get him out of there quickly, and then find a way to escape from here."

"Harry!"

"Harry!"

Ron and Hermione yelled.

It's a pity that Harry didn't seem to respond, and he couldn't even see the people in front of him.

Obviously, they were separated by almost one floor.

"The journey in this [Endless Library] is over."

"I hope MacGuffin Albert, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley can gain something in this maze. Remember—knowledge and wisdom are the greatest wealth of wizards."

At this time, after the pyramid lighted up slightly, it automatically floated to an empty vertical podium, hovering and rotating as they had encountered at the beginning, waiting for the next guest's choice.

"Damn idiot, idiot, how does this count as finding Harry? You gotta tell us how to get him out!"

Ron's wand danced vigorously and whirred.

He smashed the pyramid, trying to activate the magic item again.

So much so that McGuffin suspected that the guy's new wand wouldn't last long either.

"Well, Ron, that won't work!" Hermione advised.

She looked up and watched Harry bored from the inside of the round stone staircase to the outside, from hanging upside down to walking upright at 180 degrees (from their current perspective).

"Let me try it!"

It is estimated that it has been delayed for three or four hours now, and Dumbledore and the others (or Fudge with a large group of Aurors) may re-enter at any time.

No time, no more delay.

After half an hour on this floating stone platform, McGuffin felt that he couldn't dawdle anymore,
He turned the wand into a self-extending nylon cord.

After tying himself up firmly, the other end was wrapped around those vertical podiums, and then Ron and the others tightened it up, and then cast a levitation spell on himself.

Take the last two steps to warm up, take a run-up, and jump directly into the space of the Moubis circle ladder.

--boom!

"McGuffin! MacGuffin!"

"Wake up, wake up!"

Someone patted his cheek again.

MacGuffin shook his head, and it took him a long time to wake up from a certain dazed state.

After opening his eyes, he found Harry squatting aside, looking at him nervously.

"Are you OK!"

"I...it's fine!"

"This is?"

McGuffin looked around and finally understood why Harry couldn't hear or see them.

When walking in this Moubis circle, there is a fog all around, and the obscure gray covers everything.

Only the black and white stairs under the feet are a little reassuring.

There is silence all around, not a sound,
The sound of the huge flow in the ground pool had completely disappeared.

——Everything in the pyramid labyrinth is completely invisible and inaudible.

In the whole space, it seems that there are only up and down, never-ending black and white corridors.

It's no wonder that Harry's expression is extremely depressed now.

"Hermione, what about Ron and the others?" Harry asked irritably.

"Well, they're down there! You can't see..."

McGuffin stood up hastily, shaking his body.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

While explaining to him, McGuffin reached out to touch the fog outside the stairs.

——He seems to have seen something just now.

"You mean, the outside is an endless maze, and I've been going around in a short staircase... I said why this broken staircase can't be finished."

Listening to McGuffin's explanation, Harry's face was very happy, and the guy jumped out impatiently after speaking.

It seemed that he could no longer stand this claustrophobic corridor.

"Slow down! I'll come first!"

McGuffin pulled the nylon rope on his body out of the end of the thread, then stretched it continuously, and tied it tightly to Harry's body.

"Follow me!"

"After I go out for 30 seconds, you jump out again."

After putting the [Levitation Curse] on Harry, McGuffin took a deep breath, jumped out forcefully, and rushed into the gray mist.

Fog shrouded his surroundings, McGuffin seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and the surrounding fog pulled him, as if trying to push him in.

He felt his entire face, clothes, skin, and even hair... a subtle pulling force that could be felt was exerted on all parts of his body.

and……

The scene just now was not my own illusion.

Now, in his hazy, foggy vision, he did see some dim, black shadowy scenes again, vague and strangely familiar.

But just can't remember what it was.

When he was wondering,

--call!

He finally burst out of the fog.

For the first time, I felt the water vapor coming from the pavement, as well as the crashing sound of the water flow.

From the perspective of Hermione and Ron on the square platform, after McGuffin rushed into the stairs of the Moubis ring and joined Harry, the two of them muttered and didn't know what to discuss. McGuffin even stretched out his hand in the air and fumbled for something like a fool, and wasted time looking around.

The movement was extremely slow, like performing some mime show, one click after another, it was like a movie screen slowed down dozens of times.

Hermione even waited impatiently and went directly to the standing podium, flipping through the ancient scrolls and utensils, learning the ancient spells and ancient lost magic knowledge on them.

After a long while, the McGuffin finally dawdled, tied the rope to Harry with a very slow movement, and jumped out.

But at this time, another moth appeared.

McGuffin maintained the posture of leaping out, staying in mid-air, like a petrified ghost, the same as the video after stilling

"Hermione, Hermione!"

Ron yelled anxiously.

Hermione saw and ran over in a hurry.

The two pulled the rope together, pulling McGuffin over like a tug-of-war.

What's even more strange is that as the McGuffin gets out of the scope of the Moubis ring, the less effort he pulls, the more he can see the change in this guy's expression,

As if he had just come back to life, his face began to get a little angry.

Instead of being petrified into a puppet before, with no expression change at all.

"what!"

McGuffin let out a breath slowly. On the way to jump out, after feeling the force a little, he 'quickly' got out of the range of Moubis...

Sure enough, when he left the stairs, the Levitation Curse originally cast on him immediately became invalid.
Start falling straight down.

At the last moment, he immediately re-cast the levitation spell on himself.

On the other hand, from the very beginning,
Hermione, Ron and the others have been desperately pulling on the long rope tied around McGuffin's waist.

And under great force (because of the levitation spell, and the position is not far above the pool),
This caused the McGuffin to crash into the standing podium at the edge of the pool as if riding a flying broom.

"Ahhh!"

"Let go! Don't pull! Don't—"

McGuffin screamed, shaking his limbs and scratching, trying to catch something...

(Unfortunately it just happened to be out of reach of anything...just a little short of the McGuffin touching the pool...just a little short of him slowing down)

--boom!

It's black in front of you.

When the McGuffin woke up, his face was hot,

Ron and Hermione were watching him anxiously, looking back at the Harry on the Moubis ring from time to time to see if he jumped out.

"McGuffin, are you all right?"

"you……"

When I touched it with my hand, the blood was dripping, and the blood beads fell down, splashing a little blood on the ground.

Obviously, things are bad.

His face was swollen and he didn't feel anything.

Don't think about it, now it is estimated that he must have been bumped into a pig's head.

His nostrils were streaming... No, it was like a waterfall spraying nosebleeds.

—The nose must have been broken in three.

The salty, sticky smell of blood constantly seeped into the mouth. .

"Restore as usual!"

Hermione waved her wand with guilt on her face, and repaired McGuffin's nose, which at least temporarily stopped the bleeding.

"Clean up!"

"Clean up!"

With a serious face, Hermione cleaned up the blood on the ground, on the horizontal side of the white vertical podium—a pool of blood that vaguely looked like a human face, so as not to let Professor Dumbledore find any clues when he came in later.

Ron looked at them worriedly, holding on to the nylon rope of the wand in his hand to prevent Harry from jumping out suddenly.

Harry was still posing there, making slow movements of jumping out.

"I seem to understand!" After cleaning up the blood, McGuffin listened to Hermione telling him what happened just now, and then watched Harry's movements, and understood what was going on here, he said in a low voice.

"I understand too!"

After Hermione cleaned up, she got a few long scrolls of parchment from a black stand-up podium. She unfolded them, pointed to the bottom part of the records, and showed them to Ron and McGuffin.

She lowered her voice like a play, "Look at the name—"

"Tom Riddle!"

"that is not--"

Ron's reaction was clearly in line with her expectations.

But what happened next interrupted the effect of Hermione's program,
"--what!"

"save--"

Before he could cry out, Harry finally plunged into the water in the diving posture of a famous fish frying team' four-body surrender and kneeling position.

- Pfft!
Splashed big and caught them off guard,
"Harry!" Ron yelled, and was staggered and almost fell by the tight nylon rope in his hand. As for McGuffin, he almost fell into the pool directly.

"Pull it!"

Hermione yelled anxiously, pulling on the rope tightly.

After that, McGuffin and the others struggled to pull the fainted Harry out of the water, and used magic to dry the clothes to wake him up.

"I said that you guys... tie the rope really just as a safety rope? Can't you pull... put... Merlin! Who are you!"

After Harry woke up, he complained dissatisfiedly to Hermione and the two of them, and suddenly saw the current appearance of McGuffin.

I was so scared that I almost fell into the pool again.

"McGuffin? What are you doing..."

"Forget it!"

McGuffin had a look on your boy's face that he was glad that I was thundering for you, and said angrily, he still made a buzzing sound in his nasal cavity.

It is estimated that Madam Pomfrey will have to go there.

"Okay, hurry up! Hermione, where is it?" Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that McGuffin didn't mention this, and hurriedly changed the subject and asked the question just now. .

"Read this paragraph, and you'll understand. I think you've already guessed the McGuffin, haven't you?" Hermione also hurriedly took out the parchment just now, which looked like Voldemort's study notes.

Several people read together:
endless library,
The endless labyrinth... or the Moubis ring space,

Whatever it's called here, it's a great, creative experiment in magic.
