Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 342 Queen - Priestess

An hour has passed.

The clouds in the sky are getting darker and darker. It may be approaching dusk and will soon fall into darkness.

Unlike Harry and Draco who adapted quickly, Hermione now has several bloodstains on her face and her hair is messy.

In front of her, a Beauxbatons female student who gradually turned into starlight was looking at her unwillingly.

"You won't win." She cursed Hermione gloomily.

And Hermione was just panting and puzzled.

"Why... attack me?" she said.

"Idiot." The Beauxbatons student just sneered and disappeared.

Hermione still didn't understand.

After she came here and roughly adapted to her environment, she was attracted by a sound by the Black Lake.

Afterwards, she saw a magical animal with light constantly overflowing from its body, drinking water by the lake.

It was a being that seemed to be pieced together by the Creator. Its front legs, wings and head were like a giant eagle, but its body, hind legs and tail were like a horse.

Its beak emitted a bright metallic color, flashing with cold light, and its front claws were half a foot long, which was intimidating.

Hippogriff!

As for the fluorescence emanating from the other party, it seemed to indicate that it was not an ordinary magical animal.

Or it was related to the Major Arcana.

Unfortunately, when she wanted to observe it carefully, the Hippogriff was scared away by a hissing sound from somewhere.

After the Hippogriff disappeared, she explored the place again and found a simple ring that allowed her to cast a spell, and then met this female student from Beauxbatons.

At first, the other party greeted her with a smile and did not show any aggression.

Hermione also told her some information she knew.

After all, she knew that as long as she provided information to everyone she met, she might be able to complete the task of [Queen].

As a result, in the midst of a happy atmosphere, the person opposite, with a gentle smile, suddenly attacked her.

"Regardless of the process, only the result matters." Hermione kept muttering, and finally understood something.

She thought that in order to do the task of the Queen, everyone would share what they had and benefit from each other.

But she didn't expect that it was just her wishful thinking.

Really

After accepting this reality, Hermione also had a new doubt in her heart.

If everyone thought so and attacked each other, how could the task of [Queen] be completed?

If everyone was vigilant and guarded against each other, then this task would be impossible to complete.

While thinking, a footstep came from the side.

"Who?" Hermione looked over there vigilantly.

"Hermione?" Neville's voice appeared, and he walked out from behind the tree, holding a small package in his left hand and a bulging pufferfish in his right hand.

"Neville?" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed the other party's eyes glowing with blue light, and quickly became alert again.

"Don't be nervous, you don't look good." Neville said easily: "My eyes are the effect of drinking intelligence potion."

Intelligence potion? Hermione is very familiar with this potion. It is one of the learning courses this year. She has already flipped through the textbook three times.

This potion can make people's thinking become more agile.

"Yes, after I rescued a tree guarding bowtruckle from the web of the wolf spider, it gave me this."

As he said, Neville showed a [02 Holy Grail].

After explaining, Neville asked again: "Have you met Harry?"

Hermione shook her head: "Not yet."

"Well, what he did is really scary, isn't it?" Neville said.

"What did he do?" Hermione frowned.

"He used a bird of Transfiguration to take over his Parseltongue. Didn't you know?" Neville looked at her in confusion: "The whole forest was frightened, and you didn't know?"

Hermione's expression twitched, and then she thought of the scene where the hippogriff was frightened.

Okay, it turned out that it was Harry who did it

"It's not that I haven't encountered it at all."

A voice suddenly sounded, and Harry walked out of the shadows of the trees.

"Now I have encountered it." He said with a smile.

"Harry." Hermione hurried over, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, you look so good, didn't you encounter anything?"

Neville opened his mouth a little strangely and looked at Hermione's back.

'Where was your vigilance against me just now? '

"I eliminated a student from Beauxbatons." Harry said casually: "By the way, I picked some herbs, I think it will be useful."

As he said, he looked at Neville: "Obviously Neville and I have the same idea."

"Oh, this is" Neville opened his mouth and decided to explain from the beginning.

He first asked, "Did you get any cards?"

Hermione shook her head, while Harry looked unhurried.

"I have some discoveries that may help you." Neville said, and then began to narrate.

"There are many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, right? I suspect that these all represent a card. You have to help these creatures solve the troubles they encounter, and then they will give you corresponding rewards." Neville said.

"Just like the little card I got at the beginning.

And now, because I have witnessed death, I was lucky enough to find a group of Thestrals. Among them, a newborn Thestral is in critical condition.

What I have to do now is to prepare a potion to help the Thestral escape from danger. "

"Task?" Hermione said, "Complete the tasks they give, and the reward is Tarot cards?"

"I think so." Neville nodded, "Anyway, you should get going quickly. Even for a group like the Thestrals that is not easy to be found, there were already several people doing this task when I arrived.

They are all from Durmstrang. This school allows the study of dark magic, and it seems that they can all see Thestrals. This is an advantage we don't have. "

"I understand." Hermione nodded.

"Wait." Neville raised his hand again, called the two people, and then gave them the Holy Grail Three just now.

"I have used it, I will give it to you." He said.

"Thank you, Neville. "Hermione thanked him earnestly, and then took it.

However, after the card appeared in her hand, it suddenly began to dissipate, and then returned to Neville's hand again.

"This"

Based on the intelligence enhancer, Neville's brain began to work rapidly.

But before he could give an answer, Harry explained: "Maybe we have to attack or even eliminate you, so that we can transfer the ownership of this card."

"Then forget it." Hermione shook her head, and she already had an idea.

"Neville, do you mind if I announce some news?" Hermione looked at Neville.

Neville said: "Announce the news?"

"Yes." Hermione's hands began to wave. The effect of this ring was average. After she tried hard, she successfully transformed into a sparrow, and then looked at Harry again.

Obviously, this was inspired by Harry.

"I want to roughly announce the way Neville gets the card. Of course, it's just the most basic rules of the game, so that I may soon be able to meet the requirements of the [Queen]. "

After a moment, Hermione's voice sounded in the sky.

"Taking the initiative to contact the existence in the Forbidden Forest or Hogwarts is the main way to obtain Tarot cards--Taking the initiative to contact the existence in the Forbidden Forest or Hogwarts is the main way to obtain Tarot cards--"

The crisp voice kept echoing over the Forbidden Forest. If it was not wrong, it would bring this news to everyone's ears.

But the next moment.

"Take the initiative--Zi! !"

The voice stopped abruptly in the distance.

Harry frowned and looked at Hermione helplessly: "It seems that someone has noticed this trick and doesn't want you to become the [Queen] so easily."

Hermione pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then nodded somewhat dejectedly: "Sure enough, it's not so easy to succeed just following you and playing the means you have already used."

"It doesn't matter, I believe there are still many people who have received your news." Harry comforted, and at the same time handed the herbs he had just picked on the road to Hermione.

"Here you are."

"What do you want to do for me? "Hermione was a little confused: "Harry, maybe Neville needs these things, he needs to endure--"

Harry interrupted her words in a very gentle tone: "That's your business, Hermione."

Soon, the little witch reacted.

To complete the Queen's task, it is to help fifteen people get tarot cards.

If Neville succeeds this time, he can still get one point.

"But Harry, this is--"

"This is the rule." Harry smiled and stuffed the herbs he picked into her hand.

"Okay." Hermione nodded, then looked at Neville and handed the herbs to him again.

Neville searched through the pile of herbs and really found what he needed.

"Thank you, Hermione." Neville smiled and emphasized: "You helped me!"

As he said, he took the herbs and said, "Maybe you should speed up, Harry, do you have any plans?"

Harry waved his hand: "Don't worry, if there is really nothing, you can only rob it. "

"Rob? ! "Neville was stunned for a moment.

Harry nodded: "Yes, I guess there are hunters waiting outside Hagrid's hut now, right?"

Hermione and Neville carefully studied the rules of the game and found that what Harry said seemed to be true.

Regardless of the process, and deliberately set up to go to Hagrid's hut after getting the major arcana card, so as to advance.

"Neville, let's go to brew potions with you." Hermione suggested: "Send you out first. Then we will..."

Hermione's voice gradually dropped, and she seemed to find that what she said was completely impossible.

There was not enough time to send them out one by one.

As he said, Neville shook his head, and the three discussed it and finally decided that Neville would complete his task. She had helped Neville, and as long as Neville got the card, it would count.

Now, she should go with Harry and help Harry get the card as soon as possible.

Neville walked to the other side of the woods and waved his hand to urge: "Harry, Hermione, hurry up, don't worry about me. "

After a while, he disappeared in the shadows of the forest.

Only Harry and Hermione were left here.

"Let's go." Harry said, glancing around: "Let's continue to head towards the castle. The bird you just released here may have already followed the track and come here."

"Okay." Hermione nodded and followed Harry's steps.

More than ten minutes later.

There were hurried footsteps in the woods, and soon, Fleur appeared here, holding the wand in her hand vigilantly.

She was holding her own wand.

"It's too late. The one who wants to be the [Queen] has left here."

Then, she looked at the sky again.

It was almost dark.

After dark, those who want to be the [Emperor] will definitely do whatever it takes.

Then, she walked slowly to the shore of the lake.

"Interacting with living things"

After this period of study, the people from the two schools have a certain understanding of Hogwarts.

Fleur remembered very clearly that there was a huge giant squid and a group of fishmen in the Black Lake. Those were the 'core existences' that everyone in Hogwarts knew.

They must have a card there!

After thinking for a moment, she tapped her head with the wand, and a bubble appeared and wrapped her head.

Then she jumped into the water without hesitation.

The lake water was cold, and her long silver hair fluttered behind her with the waves.

She raised her wand again, and a flash of fluorescence appeared, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​about eight or nine feet.

She began to swim towards the depths, with the fluorescent spell ready to dissipate at any time and transform into a powerful attack spell to deal with emergencies.

There was only silence in her ears, and every time she moved forward, a new scene suddenly emerged from the darkness in front.

A jungle composed of waving and tangled black water plants, and a wide and flat muddy sand scattered with shiny pebbles.

In the dark and hazy lake, a strange atmosphere gradually appeared. It seemed that she was the only living person in this deep world.

And in the darkness around her, it seemed that at any time - hiss -

A water monster with horns on its head suddenly poked its body out of the water plants, and its tentacles like octopuses danced wildly, flying towards her.

That was Grindylow. Fleur was startled, then her lips moved slightly, and a spell quickly appeared from the tip of her wand.

After the spell, the wand lit up with the light of the fluorescent spell again.

The guy was beaten far away, his skin and flesh were torn, but more Grindylows suddenly emerged from the water plants.

"Damn thing--"

Just as Fleur began to wave her wand again, a water column suddenly flew over from a distance, and exploded violently between Fleur and the Grindylows, separating the two with the help of the water flow.

Then, a song that sounded like a whisper and a chant came from afar.

"We are creatures in the sea."

"We live in a corner."

"The full moon is about to rise, and death is coming."

"We need the tide-we need the tide priest-"

"The tide allows us to dissipate anger and push away death-"

"Only in this way can we survive-"

"-"

Along with this siren song, there was also an extremely huge mental shock.

In front of Furong, there seemed to be a being rushing towards her with this gentle whisper.

Boom——

The next moment, a huge painting suspended in the water suddenly stopped in front of her.

"Not an attack?"

After calming down, Furong focused her attention on the being in front of her.

It was a painting, the painting was huge, and there was a number label in the upper left corner - II.

In the painting, there was a dignified woman in a long robe, sitting quietly. There were two black and white stone pillars on her left and right, and there was a huge moon in the middle of her head.

The High Priestess
