Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Both centaurs declared in advance that they would not provide any help to the warriors, and it was nonsense to help use divination to break magic.

But Harley wasn't surprised.

Even if you really want them to help break Professor Dumbledore's magic, isn't that embarrassing?

This is equivalent to Voldemort telling Lucius, the logistics minister under his command who is responsible for providing funds, to get rid of Dumbledore.

It's really like delivering express under Big Ben, with the top open and the bottom below. This is not what I would dream of doing!

If they have that kind of ability, why would they still want to work for you? They can get rid of you directly!

The kind-hearted witch never makes things difficult for others, so she didn't lead the conversation in this direction at all.

Harry and Fleur separated at the intersection, and then walked in the right direction following the guidance of the key in their hands.

Ronan walked leisurely back to his home to admire the newly made garland.

Firenze volunteered to accompany Harley to the destination and take her around the centaur village as a tour guide.

Along the way, ordinary centaurs kept popping their heads out from around them, looking at Harry curiously.

Many of the centaurs had a bit of hostility in their eyes, but they seemed to be afraid of something.

However, they were not so kind to Firenze who was accompanying Harley.

Harry vaguely heard a lot of curses. More than one centaur accused Firenze of being a traitor and betraying the enlightenment of the stars.

But Firenze didn't seem to care about this and continued chatting with Harley.

The two talked about the ecology of the Forbidden Forest, the species invasion of Acromantula, and finally talked about the lives of wizards in Hogwarts.

Firenze still yearns for this, and seems to want to leave the Forbidden Forest for a walk and learn about the world of wizards.

Finally, Harley asked casually: By the way, Firenze. Is there anything particularly worth visiting in the centaur village?

A place worth visiting... I think there is a place that is worth visiting, but it is also very boring to visit.

Firenze replied without hesitation, Speaking of which, that place is also called our holy land.

Holy land? Harley continued subconsciously, Why do you say that?

Our holy place is the open space at the entrance of the centaur village. Firenze explained,

The open space looks empty during the day. There is no grass growing on it, and you can walk freely without touching anything.

But at night when the stars are the brightest, a tree will appear out of thin air in the clearing, a real tree that is completely black.

After divination, all the elders agreed that the open space is the sacred land of the centaurs, and that the big black tree is the sacred tree of our centaurs tribe.

Because the stars tell us that the big tree protects us.

And that big tree does have magical mysteries. Whenever it appears, that time period is theoretically the most suitable for us to observe the stars and gain enlightenment.

But what is regrettable and confusing is that we have never succeeded in divination at that time.

No, to be precise, we have never performed divination during that time period.

Because every time our sacred tree comes out, within five minutes, we will all fall into a unified slumber.

And when we wake up, the starlight always gradually fades. In less than five minutes, the big tree will turn into nothingness again.

This makes us very distressed, but we will not take the initiative to change this phenomenon.

Because we believe that this is a revelation given to us by nature and the forest, which reveals that we cannot predict at that moment.

Harley couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that the centaur thought this tree was his sacred tree, and he was right.

After all, light is understood in a literal sense, and the time when the stars are most brilliant is most likely when the outer gods are looking at the earth and casting the most light.

And the centaurs' divination is much more reliable than Professor Trelawney's divination. If the divination reaches a certain person from the past... the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this mysterious dark tree protects the entire centaurs group.

But having said that, this big tree really has a lot of secrets.

Then can I visit your holy place? Harley guided the topic step by step.

Of course. We have not imposed any protection on the Holy Land, and we will not prevent any foreigners from visiting it.

Firenze's voice was filled with emotion, After all, this is also the revelation brought to us by the stars.

We can observe the sacred object in the holy place - the sacred black tree during the ten minutes we are awake, but we have no right to interfere with it.

Even according to what the stars and nature tell us, if a foreigner who is not a centaur can see this tree, we cannot stop it.

If this tree leaves on its own initiative, we have no right to search for it. Otherwise, we will abandon nature and the stars.

Harley temporarily remained skeptical about the magical holy places and relics that Firenze boasted about.

After all, bastards like fortune tellers often have problems with their brains because they are too superstitious about divination.

Of course, if it were those people who only recorded their names on the murals in the Horrible Sequence 1, then their brains were not inoperable, but they were so easy to use that they had reached the level of being so wise that they were almost demons.

One man and one horse quickly arrived at the location guided by the golden stone, and Firenze stopped.

Harry, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Firenze said apologetically,

I won't go on with you.

If you have time, you are welcome to visit our holy place.

Okay, bye. Harley waved goodbye to Firenze, and then looked at the golden stone in her hand.

The golden stone seemed to have arrived at a special location, so it quickly floated into the air and burst into dazzling light.

At the same time, the big tree in front of him suddenly came to life, blooming with the same brilliance in response to the golden stones.

Two rays of light collided in mid-air, exuding magic waves, as if some magic had been lifted.

A small house slowly took shape in front of Harry, but the door of the small house was locked, and the whole house was filled with powerful magic.

Harley looked up and down the house and felt that if she wanted to, the continuous black fireballs could easily blast it away.

As for other more powerful methods, the house can be destroyed very quickly.

However, these violent methods were too easy to hurt Hermione in the house, so Harry was the first to exclude them.

There is a table in the open space in front of the house. On the table are two keys, one black and one white, and a roll of parchment.

Harley stepped forward and opened the parchment.

There was nothing on it, but when he felt the light shining from the golden stone, ink suddenly seeped out slowly.

Harley always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

She suddenly remembered, isn't this the way that the diary made by Senior Riddle communicates with wizards?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that Professor Dumbledore prostituted it for nothing without any hesitation, and did not pay any royalties to Senior Riddle.

The ink finally took shape and formed into a sentence:

Good afternoon, Harley. Welcome to come and break through.

You have three options: 1. Use violence to open the magic house directly. The advantage is that it is fast enough and effortless. The disadvantage is that it is very likely to hurt Hermione inside.

Second, use your superb magical skills to break the magic on the house. The advantage is that it is safe enough, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit laborious and will take a long time.

After all, I am relatively confident in my magical attainments, and the magic left on the house is not easy to break.

As a friendly reminder, there is only enough food left in the house for Miss Granger to eat for one day.

Third, crack the puzzle I gave you and choose the corresponding key based on the answer to the puzzle.

The advantage is that it is stable enough. The disadvantage is that you need to have a high IQ and sufficient logical ability.

Harry couldn't help rolling his eyes, as if thinking of an old man typing a puzzle into the parchment, he couldn't help but let out a smirk.

Without hesitation, she tapped three with her wand.

The ink quickly dissipated, then popped up again to form entirely new words.

question:

Now there are five wizard hats, two white and three black, as well as three little wizards.

Three little wizards lined up one behind the other, each wearing one of the five wizard hats.

The little wizard in the front cannot see the color of the little wizard's hat in the back, but the little wizard in the back can see the color of the little wizard's hat in front.

“Now they have a professor asking them if they know what color their hat is.”

The last little wizard said he didn't know, and the second-to-last little wizard also said he didn't know.

The first little wizard suddenly guessed the correct answer after hearing the answers from the next two.

May I ask what color wizard hat he is wearing?

Harry couldn't help but rub his forehead. Is this a magic problem? Isn't this the most basic logical reasoning question?

But if you think about it carefully, when the first-year Professor Dumbledore arranged the level and used the Sorcerer's Stone as bait to catch Senior Riddle, the penultimate level seemed to have the same arrangement.

At that time, there was a piece of parchment on the table, with a similar thinking logic question on it.

Okay, that's very Dumbledore.

Harley closed her eyes and thought for a minute, then tapped the parchment and chose black.

Are you sure? The font on the parchment changed again,

There is a hole in the two keys of different colors. The key can only be completed by inserting the golden stone into the hole.

The golden stone will disappear automatically after being inserted, so you only have one chance to choose.

Of course. Harley confirmed again, while picking up the black key on the table and stuffing the golden stone into the hole above.

Suddenly golden light flashed, and the key was completely repaired.

Harley inserted the key into the door lock, turned it gently, and the door opened.

A figure jumped out from inside and gave Harley a strong hug: Good afternoon, Harley! I knew you wouldn't let me stay here for too long!

It was Hermione in a beautiful dress.

It seemed that the princess was waiting for her warrior to rescue her, and the warrior did not keep her waiting.

……………

We can see that Harley has completed most of the tasks. As long as she successfully leaves the Forbidden Forest, the second round of the game will be over.

On the commentary platform at the edge of the Black Lake, Ludo hasn't even eaten yet, and is still explaining hard.

At the same time, his face was full of excitement and he kept waving his fists vigorously, as if something great had just happened.

And Miss Delacour only needs to solve the puzzle on the paper to see her treasure.

But everyone else seems to have encountered a little difficulty, let's continue to cheer for them!

At this time, on the screen, although the other three warriors have left the Black Lake and entered the Forbidden Forest, the situation is still not optimistic.

Miguel was a little confused at this time, because a ball escaper accidentally fell on his head. As a result, this kind of bird with low IQ and very little courage frightened himself.

Then the Ball Escaper began to run away, but when it ran away, its claws still tightly grasped Miguel's hair and apparated with him.

So when Miguel finally got rid of the ball escaper, he was completely lost in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Fortunately, Kastrobushe itself is a school built in a tropical rainforest, and students get lost in the rainforest every year.

Therefore, many spells to prevent getting lost are compulsory courses for Castrobshe. Miguel also has his own skills for finding directions in the rainforest.

And Krum somehow got entangled in a swarm of Billywig bugs.

These little guys fly very fast and can easily dodge most magical flames.

And most of the black magic mastered by Krum is a single attack, so there is nothing he can do against these Billywigs. He can only use the Seeker's physical fitness to run all the way.

When he finally got rid of the entanglement of the Billywig bug, he unfortunately encountered a lively poisonous leopard.

Well... I can only wish him good luck.

Catherine's journey was not smooth either. Not long after she entered the Forbidden Forest, she ran into an extremely dangerous poisonous horned beast.

At this time, one person and one beast were confronting each other. The explosive horn of the poisonous horned beast was facing Catherine, and Catherine was holding a pistol made of alchemy. The alchemical bullets fired from it would cause a violent explosion.

As for Tsuchimikado Seimei... Oh, he is still playing in the resurrection match, so there is probably no chance of him appearing.

This made the referees extremely worried and couldn't help but cry.

In this round of competition, Hogwarts probably came out on top again, and even Beauxbatons had no threat to it.

Seeing the trophy of the Six Strongest Tournament getting further and further away from my school, damn it!

…………

Harry took Hermione away from the centaur village, and at the same time the two exchanged what they had seen and heard in the second project.

...I didn't expect Professor Dumbledore to ask such logical questions. It's a pity that I'm not a warrior and can't solve these puzzles.

Hermione looked a little regretful, but then she excitedly chatted with Harry about her experience of being visited by Professor McGonagall last night.

The two of them strolled all the way to the outskirts of the centaur village, where the Thestrals were standing in the open space outside.

Harley looked specifically at the location of the sacred tree that Firenze told her, but unfortunately found nothing.

It seems that we can only wait for the starry night to come again, but we don’t know which way this big tree is, and it is so magical.

Soon, Fleur also left the centaurs' village with Gabrielle, with a look of confusion on her face.

Why did Professor Dumbledore ask such a simple question? Fleur sighed as soon as they met.

I simply wonder if Professor Dumbledore is insulting my IQ!

Harry looked at Fleur curiously:

What question did Professor Dumbledore give you?

Furong thought for a while and recited the topic word for word:

A certain wizard went to the potion shop owned by his good friend to buy potion ingredients. He bought a total of thirty gold galleons... Does he owe his friend any gold galleons?

If you owe, please choose the black key; if you don't owe, please choose the white key.

Do you think Professor Dumbledore is underestimating my intelligence?

I definitely don't owe anything. Hermione replied without thinking, This is much easier than Harry's question.

Yes, when I think about it, I don't owe anything. Fleur supported, That's why I said Professor Dumbledore underestimated me.

By the way, what is the puzzle that Harley got?

The two sides exchanged topics, but they didn't know that a quarrel had already begun in the auditorium outside.

Nearly a quarter of the students thought the answer set was wrong and the wizard should be in debt.

There are still a full quarter of students who got themselves into it and haven't figured it out yet.

So the students had a very fierce quarrel about this, and no one could convince anyone.

Even Kamo Michimi expressed confusion:

Principal Dumbledore, why doesn't that wizard owe a debt? No matter how I think about it, I feel that he owes his friend thirty gold galleons!

Professor Dumbledore glanced at Kamo Michitoshi next to him suspiciously. He didn't know for a moment whether he was pretending to be stupid or if he was really that stupid.

Sure enough, the logic education of wizards around the world urgently needs to be strengthened without delay!
