Retirement from Hogwarts

"These are mandrakes. As long as you don't pull them out of the soil, they are harmless." Neville looked at the eager Harry and hurriedly stopped him. "If they were pulled out, their cries could easily kill us all."

"Is it really still in the second level? It seems that the trouble is not over yet, everyone, please be careful." Jack said.After saying that, he led everyone into the only corridor in the foyer leading to the interior.

They walked carefully along the corridor deeper into the manor.But there seemed to be nothing in the entire corridor except for the mandrakes in flower pots on both sides.

"This is impossible. We have walked at least 200 meters. The houses we saw outside before were not this big." Harry said nervously, looking at the endless corridor in front of him.

"I'm afraid this is Professor Flitwick's level. I didn't expect the two professors to set up a level together. Let's go back and have a look."

After walking back several hundred meters and still not seeing the entrance where they came in, several people stopped in despair.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a Möbius strip," Hermione said.

"What ring?"

"The Möbius strip, Harry. The space magic invented by the great wizard John Listing. This magic is also called the Möbius space maze." Hermione looked at the confused Harry and repeated her words. repeated. "This magic can create a closed space connected end to end. People who don't know the method can never get out."

"How should we get out, Hermione?" Neville asked.

"this..."

"The only way to leave the Möbius Space Maze is to find the correct secret passage." Jack answered Neville's question for Hermione.

"Secret passage? How can I find this?" Harry said helplessly as he looked at the walls on both sides. "We don't even know where this magic started."

"We don't need to know where the starting point is, we just need to dismantle this place." Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and said with bright eyes.

"Don't use magic..."

"Split into pieces!" Before Jack could finish speaking, Harry and Neville couldn't wait to cast a shattering spell on the surrounding walls.

"Get down!" Jack shouted and threw Hermione to the ground. Harry and Neville reacted a moment too late, and the magic spell that bounced back tore the robes on their chests.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, clutching his chest with palpitations.

"The walls of this manor are made of black magic stone. Any magic below level 3 will be directly reflected back by it." Jack explained to the other three people, pointing to the black wall that leaked after the wallpaper was torn.

"Thank you for not being strong enough and not breaking those flower pots containing mandrakes. Otherwise we would be in big trouble." Hermione said happily looking at the flower pots that were cracked by the curse.

"Take this." Jack took out two sledgehammers from the King's Treasure disguised as a space bag and handed them to Harry and Neville, and then took out one himself.

"How big is your space bag?" Harry asked in surprise as he looked at Jack's space bag.

"Anyway, it's big enough." Jack said mysteriously. "Come to work."

After saying that, Jack took the lead and smashed the surrounding walls with a hammer.

"Click, click." An obviously different voice sounded from Neville's side.

"Hey guys, I think I found it." Neville said and knocked on the wall in front of him a few times.

Down, a hole was made that could allow one person to pass through.A beam of white light entered the dark corridor from the hole.

"The Mage's Eye."

Hermione waved her wand and summoned a magic eye.She directed the magic eye to fly into the hole.

"Lights and shadows appear," Jack whispered, holding Hermione's hand.With Jack's spell, a silver mirror was summoned by him.A luxurious living room appeared in the magic mirror.

"It looks like it should be safe inside. But it's best not to touch anything after entering." Jack told Neville and Harry, who were looking at the curious faces of the magic mirror.

"That was a joint spell just now?" Neville asked after all four people walked into the living room.

"Pathfinder, a magic that Hermione and I specially prepared for adventure." Jack explained. "The disadvantage is that it must be used by two people with similar minds, otherwise it will just be a simple magic eye and magic mirror magic."

As Jack explained, he used his transfiguration technique to turn the hammer in his hand into a long bamboo pole, and continued to use it to poke at the furniture in the room.It wasn't until he tried the furniture in the room that he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can relax now. There are no traps in this room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry and Neville plopped down on the sofa in the room.It looked like the previous level had scared them quite a bit.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked worriedly, looking at the two people who seemed exhausted. "How about we go back? In your current state, let alone snatching things from Snape's hands, I think it's very difficult for you to delay him for a while."

After hearing Jack's words, Harry jumped up from the sofa as if there were springs on his butt.

"Of course I have no problem, let's go. If we don't hurry up, Snape will succeed." Harry said nervously.

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to answer, he took the lead and walked towards the other door of the living room.

Looking at Harry who had already walked out of the room, Jack pulled up Neville who was still sitting in the chair and obviously hadn't had enough rest. He innocently shrugged at Hermione who was staring at him.He pulled them up and chased them towards the door where Harry left.

"You guys are so slow." When Jack and the other three found Harry in front of a door, he complained to them. "If we don't hurry up, Quirrell might succeed."

After hearing Harry's words, Jack frowned.Said to Harry: "Stop complaining Harry, you don't know how excited you were when you just talked about Quirrell. Running is like flying."

"Ahaha, is that so? I'm so sorry." Harry said, rubbing the back of his head.

"You are really..." Jack shook his head, "Forget it, let's go in quickly."

After Jack finished speaking, he opened the door in front of him and walked in.

"Aren't we in the manor? Are we coming out now?" Neville asked doubtfully, looking at the green mountains and green waters behind the door.

"Obviously, we didn't go out." Harry said, pointing to the faint outline of the wall in the distance and the magic chandelier hanging from the ceiling that was higher than the clouds.

"Is this the power of magic?" Hermione murmured to herself, looking at the distant wall and the white clouds in the sky.

"Stop sighing, Hermione. The most important thing for us is to find a way out first." Jack took Hermione's hand to interrupt her sighing.

"Although I don't know how to get out, I believe there must be the clues we need." Harry said, pointing to the smoke curling in the distance.
