Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Looking at the bottles and cans on the table, Fred said curiously: "What kind of stuff is this, an unexpected harvest in the secret passage?"

George also looked puzzled, not seeing the clue at all.

When they explored the secret passages of Hogwarts before, although they occasionally picked up some things left behind by their predecessors, they had never seen anything like this.

Bottles and cans were neatly placed on the table, without dust or cobwebs attached to them. Even the table still exuded the smell of raw paint...

All of this shows that they were placed here not long ago by others, and it is unlikely that they are ownerless things that accidentally fell into the secret passage.

As soon as they passed the threshold, a fire burned at the entrance behind them - this was no ordinary fire - the color of the flame was a very heavy blue, even so deep that it was almost purple. At the same time, another black flame was lit at the door leading to the front.

They're stuck in the middle!

"You should take a look at this, I can't believe my eyes!" George took out a piece of paper from the side of the wine bottle, just glanced at it and called for Bourne and Fred to come over and take a look.

"The handwriting is obviously Snape's!" Fred also saw the problem at a glance.

After all, Snape had been teaching them for three years. After potions class every week, he would almost always assign a paper, and when the assignments handed in by the little wizards were handed out, there would always be many of his corrections and comments on them.

Most of them are: "The troll may agree with your point of view", "I almost want to take off my eyeballs", "After seeing your homework, I made myself a soothing potion overnight"...

These venomous words were rarely written with a wand-controlled quill, and most of them were written by Snape himself - the professor really marked everyone's homework carefully. Of course, he was also complaining very seriously.

Naturally, it's no surprise that clever little wizards like the Weasley twins would instantly recognize Snape's font style.

This is what was written on the paper:

"There is danger in front of you, but safety behind you; if you find it, two of our bottles can help you; one of the seven bottles will help you move forward, and the other will send you back to where you were. , while two bottles were just ordinary Zunma wine, and three bottles were deadly poisonous wine.

If you don’t want to stay here forever, just choose now!

To help you choose, I can give you four helpful tips.

First, no matter how secretly the poisonous wine is hidden, you can always find it to the left of the nettle wine;

Second, there are always different wines standing on the edge, but if you continue to move inward, there are no good wines;

Third, as you can see, all bottles come in different sizes, and there is no danger in a short or tall bottle;

Fourth, the second one on the left and the second one on the right are actually a pair, although they don't look alike. "

George and Fred looked at each other, and then with lightning speed, they pinched each other's arms.

"You are so despicable!"

"To each other, to each other."

The two brothers laughed and cursed at each other.

"But I do wonder if I was dreaming just now, or my brain was damaged by the smoke in the Forbidden Forest." Fred said, "I can't imagine that Professor Snape would actually play like this. - I mean, how does this scene look so much like a prank?"

In fact, even Bourne couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Although he felt like a mirror in his mind, this should be a level designed by Professor Snape to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, but it was also a protective measure after all!

Let's not consider whether it is appropriate to design a logic game within the protective measures.

To put it simply, if this level is regarded as a security lock to stop thieves, then leaving the "key" (magic potion) that can be used to "open the lock" next to the security lock - this in itself is very puzzling. things.

Who in the right mind would do this?

Providing convenience to thieves?

If there were more thieves coming, maybe there wouldn't be any need to think about logic. With one bottle of medicine, one person can directly test the results using the exhaustive method.

The only reasonable explanation is that this level (or even all levels) is not actually a measure to truly protect the Philosopher's Stone.

They are just an adventure, or in other words, a test for those who break through the levels.

Speaking of which, who designed the levels, and who are these levels designed for...

Everyone understands these two issues.

The only difference from the original design is probably the variable factor of Bourne and the Weasley brothers. Of course, the main one is Bourne.

After all, Dumbledore had almost made it clear to him just now: This is an adventure, go for it boldly, and if anything goes wrong, I will be there to take care of it.

"Furthermore, it is estimated that Dumbledore is not the only one who has taken the blame this time," Bourne said with a heartbeat: "The alchemy crystal lamp in the wizard's chessboard room is probably the handiwork of Mr. Flamel. The final level behind it may also be There are some arrangements of his.”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but observe half a second of silence for Voldemort and Quirrell - no more.

Because in this half second, he deduced the answer to the puzzle left by Snape.

"It's the round bottle on the far right."

He pointed to the "correct answer" and said to the Weasley twins.

"According to what is written on the note, as long as we drink this bottle of magic potion, we can walk through the flames in front of us," he said, picking up the round bottle first and taking a sip of the potion inside.

While drinking, he noticed that there were still a few fingerprints on the bottle, and it seemed that some of the potion inside had been drunk.

Of course, to be cautious, before drinking the potion, he underwent partial transformation of Asta Primaris, mainly changing the internal organs of the digestive tract. This superhuman intestines allowed him to adapt to most poisons, and he was poisoned. It won't kill him immediately.

Moreover, when the potion entered his mouth, his sense of taste told him that this bottle of potion seemed to be the same thing as the "Liquified Patronus Charm" that Grandpa Horace gave him before.

The reason why I say "should" is because it tastes really bad. Unlike the mint-lemon flavored potion that Horace prepared for Bourne, the potion brewed by Professor Snape, The only ingredient used for flavoring is ground coriander seeds.

When Bourne handed the potion that confirmed that there was no big problem to the Weasley twins, they held their noses and took a sip of the potion, and their expressions turned into the same "囧".

"I'm sure, this is the potion made by Snape." George muttered, covering his mouth with his palms for fear of spitting it out.

Fred added: "If this is a prank, I think it should have achieved its effect. If I were to give a grade, then I would give Professor Snape an O."

Bourne tilted his head, using his peripheral vision to slightly glance at the blue-purple flames rising from the corridor at the end when he came in, and then interrupted the twins' discussion.
