A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

"I seem to understand." Harry looked at this scene thoughtfully, "The treasure chest is the key."

"The treasure chest is indeed the key, but..." Krum paused and said solemnly, "The dementor has not disappeared and is still wandering in the maze."

After the words fell, the other three looked at each other.

But soon they thought of something, and their expressions turned ugly.

Aaron opened a box and got a thirty-second map, but also released a dementor.

If he opens two boxes, it means there will be two Dementors in the maze, and so on. The number of Dementors in the maze will gradually increase as the warrior gets more clues.

What's even worse is that there may not only be Dementors in the box, Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewt hasn't come out yet!

No wonder Dumbledore released the red spark when he said he wanted to quit, because as time goes by, the maze will only become more and more dangerous.

"Will I be able to exit the game if I release red sparks directly after entering?" Harry said half-jokingly.

"What did you say?" Moody walked up to him angrily, "I just heard some coward say he wanted to quit the game."

"No, I..." Harry explained hesitantly, "I was just joking."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Moody pulled him to the entrance of the maze and said seriously: "To be honest, I am a little disappointed. Harry Potter, you are a Gryffindor. The brave Gryffindor actually Will shrink from difficulties.

If James and Lily knew that their son was of this caliber, they would probably not rest in peace after his death. "

Hearing this, Harry clenched his fists and his eyes became extra determined, "I won't quit."

"Very good." Moody patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "I know you are worried that someone will mess with the third project, but believe me, believe in Lupin, and even more, believe in Dumbledore. We won't give anyone a chance to harm you.

So, promise me, don’t give up until you can’t hold on any longer. "

Harry nodded seriously, took a deep breath and walked into the maze.

At this time, Bagman whistled, "Victor Krum can enter."

Krum glanced at the projection screen, and then strode towards the entrance. When passing Moody, the two exchanged glances without any trace.

The maze has completed its second move, and the map in Aaron's hand has completely lost its effect. Its only function may be to estimate how far away he is from the trophy.

Aaron made a simple calculation using the Quidditch pitch as a reference. He was still almost four hundred meters away from the trophy.

But being in a maze, he didn't dare to move rashly, so he could only approach the center carefully.

After passing several forks in the road, the sound of exploding sparks came from not far away and got closer and closer.

"Is this... a blast-ended snail?" Aaron looked strange. He was very sure that the source of the sound was the blast-ended snail. After all, Hagrid had let them raise it for a long time.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers and used illusion to hide himself.

Then he created another phantom, quickly ran to another fork in the road, and led the snail in the completely opposite direction after it appeared.

The third whistle sounded and Cedric entered.

He had just walked through two forks in the road when he found a silver treasure chest, and he also used the unlocking spell to open the chest from a distance.

However, no strange creatures appeared in the box, only a piece of parchment.

Cedric raised his eyebrows and opened the parchment. It turned out to be a map of the maze: the maze will move again in a minute, so please hurry up.

In addition to the maze map, the parchment also recorded the specific locations of Aaron, Harry and Krum.

"It seems I'm lucky." Cedric smiled, and then accelerated his pace according to the map.

When Furong saw this scene outside the venue, she also understood that not every box was dangerous.

But not long after she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Harry firing a Boggart, and Krum firing an Acromantula over two meters high, and she couldn't help but feel a toothache.

The number of dangerous animals was successfully increased by two, and she was still waiting at the entrance, feeling a little anxious.

Finally, the final whistle sounded, and she suddenly felt like hearing the sounds of nature. She rushed into the maze eagerly without waiting for Bagman's explanation.

The sky was getting dark, and the hedge walls of the maze were at least six or seven meters high. Coupled with the thin white mist, the warriors had to use fluorescent spells to see the way clearly.

Aaron drew a precise route map in his mind as he walked, trying to get as close to the end as possible before the maze changed again.

After turning a few corners, a silver treasure box appeared in front of him.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

Without any hesitation, Aaron opened the box directly.

The pungent smell suddenly spread in all directions, followed by the sound of bubbles bursting.

A giant monster about four meters tall slowly stood up, holding a long wooden stick in its hand.

"I'll be good."

Aaron held his forehead and shook his head. He didn't expect such a creature to exist in the competition maze.

The troll walked quickly towards Aaron with a stick in hand, a ferocious sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers, without taking out his wand, but turned around and sped away.

The giant monster immediately launched a pursuit, and the dull sound of running almost spread throughout the maze.

After the troll ran away, Aaron's figure came out of the shadows.

Trolls are relatively aggressive and destructive, but their IQs are low and they can easily get past them with illusions, so they pose the least threat to him.

He took out a Marauder's Map of the same model as Cedric's from the silver box, looked at the silver box meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that the treasure boxes are also divided into three, six, and nine grades!"

The wooden treasure chest is an ordinary map, with thirty seconds to select the route, while the silver treasure chest is a Marauder's Point map including the location of the warrior, and the maze movement time is doubled accordingly.

There should also be gold treasure chests, and the movement of the maze is also divided into overall movement and partial movement. Otherwise, if the time when the warriors get the map is not much different, the frequency of maze movement will be too high.

Aaron thought to himself, and then looked for the correct route according to the Marauder's Map.

...

Ten minutes later, most of the map of the maze was covered by several warriors, and everyone moved towards the center in an orderly manner.

Aaron was the closest. According to his estimation, he was less than 100 meters away from the trophy. Harry and Cedric were tied for second, still about 150 meters away from the center. Krum and Fleur were also less than 100 meters away. Two hundred meters.

But they are not as relaxed as they were at the beginning. In addition to the maze moving from time to time, the blast-ended snails and giant scorpions hidden in it also appeared one after another.

These behemoths are like scavengers, with great destructive power and a certain degree of magic resistance. They can only walk around when they see them.

In addition, each of them opened almost three treasure chests and released more than a dozen dangerous magical animals, making the maze even more dangerous.

Aaron opened a silver treasure chest in a dead end.

No strange creatures were released, there was only one mirror inside - the Mirror of Erised. (Reflecting the deepest desires in the heart)

"Good guy, I can take out this old antique."

Aaron approached the magic mirror, and his own image was reflected in it.

After a while, Aaron in the mirror pointed to his feet. Aaron bent down and picked up a copy of the Marauder's Map.

The map showed him that he was three corners from the finish line and had one minute to go.

Aaron felt relieved. The distance was less than fifty meters, and one minute was enough to walk.

But just in case, he still quickened his pace.

However, an accident happened. He passed through several corners, but stopped at the final exit.

He could clearly see a circular open space twenty meters away, where the Triwizard Tournament trophy was. Three golden dragons surrounded the trophy, and the crystal clear blue light was constantly flashing.

But a sphinx (sphinx) made of yellow sand blocked the exit. He was huge, with limbs like stone pillars. He was just as tall as the hedges on both sides while lying on the ground.

"Answer my question. If you guess correctly, you can pass. If you guess wrong, you will be eaten by me. If you guess incorrectly, you will have to change a path." The Sphinx spoke human words, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

"My time is limited, you'd better hurry up." Aaron said impatiently.

"I do not exist in the past, but I will always exist. No one has seen my face, and I am the pursuit of all living things. What am I?"

"What an abstract answer!

Fortunately, I know a friend who likes riddles very much, and the answer is tomorrow. "

"correct answer."

The Sphinx turned into yellow sand and disappeared, leaving the final path.

Aaron shrugged and walked to the end. The Triwizard Tournament trophy was placed on a pedestal, shining with an attractive light.

All the spectators outside the venue watched this scene with excitement. Professor Flitwick even raised his baton, ready to play music at any time.

"It seems that the winner of the Triwizard Tournament has been decided." Bagman said excitedly, "After more than a century, we are about to witness history..."

Halfway through, his voice stopped abruptly.

Because Aaron did not go to get the trophy, but sighed and sat silently next to the base, quietly waiting for the arrival of others.

"Miss Klein, did you arrange this?" Dumbledore said with a meaningful smile.

"I just let him touch the trophy last, but there is only one way to win the championship under this premise."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "All the warriors touched the trophy together, but this..."

"He has to convince other people," Adrian said matter-of-factly, "or win over other people."

"Miss Klein is so... eclectic!" Fudge said with a smile, "To end with a wizard showdown, most people really can't come up with such a good idea. I believe the audience present will be able to feast their eyes on it today. "

"Maybe!" Adrian said nonchalantly, "I have also arranged something else that will make this final project more interesting, but I don't know if it will be used."
