Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis walked slowly into the maze.

Under his feet, a dozen dark shadows silently swept towards all directions of the maze.

He waved his hand casually, and a ball of soft light floated in the air.

The ball of light moved forward as he walked, illuminating the dark hedge path.

Hefes did not choose to take the trophy directly and end the game in one go.

At least we have to give the contestants behind us some hope, right?

Most importantly, he wanted to know what Voldemort wanted to do by controlling Fleur.

He had to give Voldemort the opportunity to carry out his conspiracy.

Otherwise he would have waited so long in vain.

As soon as Hephes turned a corner, he saw a passage with flames rolling.

The flames were more than ten feet high, and he could feel the rolling heat before he got close.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the "Iron Armor" covered his body like a real layer of armor.

He slowly strolled over, enjoying the warmth of the fire.

After passing through the sea of ​​fire, what greeted him was a glittering mountain of gold.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of them, which are very attractive to people.

Hephis grabbed a handful of gold coins at random. The gold coins in his hand were no different from real gold Galleons.

These gold galleons are likely the work of leprechauns and will disappear after a few hours.

He stepped on the "gold galleons" all over the ground and climbed over the hill.

Not to mention the feeling of walking on Jinshan Mountain, it’s really pretty good.

Continuing forward, an object with a vague shape, constantly twisting and wriggling is suspended in the air.

It seems to be struggling with what form to take.

"You are a Boggart!" Hephis grabbed it and put it into his pocket.

He didn't have a Boggart in his suitcase zoo yet, so it was a good opportunity to get one to play with.

Since Hephis adopted a casual approach, he inevitably ended up in a dead end.

But he was too lazy to turn around, so he just pointed forward with his finger.

Cast the Hufflepuff life magic copied from Theodore - "Life Drain".

The lush green hedges suddenly turned yellow, then turned into dust and was blown away by the wind, demonstrating the power of this magic.

The hedge in front of him began to wither quickly, and then turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Moreover, this vitality can not only increase lifespan, it can even be used in fighting.

At this time, the sharp and short whistle sounded three more times.

Announces that all warriors have entered the maze.

Hephis was still not in a hurry. He passed through the newly created passage and continued to move forward.

A large golden mist appeared in front of him.

He put a finger in and immediately he felt his feet pointing upwards and his big head pointing downwards.

The whole person was turned upside down.

He activated the Occlumency technique, and the world in front of him immediately returned to normal.

This is a type of illusion magic that affects the five senses.

Instead of actually hanging him upside down.

Magic that can affect the five senses is indeed quite interesting.

Hephis also encountered many magical creatures.

As long as he released a little bit of dragon power, those magical creatures would run away on their own.

Among them was a fifteen-foot-long blast-tailed skrewt.

It seems that Hagrid has finally figured out the secret to raising this creature.

Although the blasting-tailed skrewt does look disgusting.

But Hephis didn't kill it, after all, it was Hagrid's favorite.

He used his shadow to hold the skrewt in place, then continued on his way.

Hephis took a few more steps, and a slight sound of clothing rubbing against the ground came from the other side of the hedge.

"What are you going to do? What on earth do you want to do..."

It was Fleur, her trembling voice filled with fear.

Then, Krum's gloomy voice sounded.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

The air was suddenly filled with Furong's miserable cries.

Hephis casually cast another "Life Drain" on the hedge.

The hedge in front of him suddenly turned yellow and then weathered.

He also saw the scene behind the hedge.

Furong continued to twist and curl up in pain, and shrill cries came out of her mouth.

Krum had a gloomy face, the tip of his wand was pointing at Fleur on the ground.

He looked up, saw Hephaestus, and ran away.

Hephis looked at Krum's running back with a puzzled look on his face.

The ten screens outside the maze.

It was proposed by him, organized by Lucius, and paid for by the Ministry of Magic.

Although it is impossible to completely cover the entire maze, most of the key locations can still be photographed.

It's obviously not worth it for Krum to take such a big risk just for the Triwizard Cup.

Furong gradually freed herself from the pain and moaned softly on the ground.

Hephis cast an emotional spell on her to soothe her soul.

"How do you feel, Fleur?" he inquired.

“It’s so scary…he…how dare he…” There was still fear in Furong’s eyes.

"Maybe he wants to win too much! Anyway, Karkaroff will help him make excuses." Hefeth reasoned.

Furong forced a bitter smile, which was uglier than crying.

She struggled to stand up, but fell down again due to the severe pain in her legs.

She screamed again, "Ah! It hurts!"

"What's wrong?" Hephis quickly went forward to check, and saw a pool of blood oozing out of her legs quickly.

At this moment, two green spells attacked Hephis from different directions at the same time.

Hephis disappeared from where he was and appeared behind Fleur.

Two green lights intersected and hit the hedge, breaking many branches.

The two people who attacked him were Krum and Fleur.

Hephis was too lazy to do anything, so he controlled their shadows and froze them in place.

"It seems that the person who controls Fleur is you!" He looked at Krum who returned stealthily.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I just want to win the game."

Krum's face remained gloomy, and he didn't look panicked at all.

"You're using 'biting the big melon' just for a competition!"

Hephis had no interest in continuing to nag.

This method was really boring to him, so he decided to just go back and devour the shadow.

Hephis directly gave Furong a set of three consecutive attacks.

"Faint" makes it fall into deep sleep.

"Life Healing" allows its wounds to heal quickly.

Finally, a string of red sparks was fired into the sky to summon rescuers.

Then he waited there.

The shadow soldiers had already arrived at the location of the Triwizard Cup.

Harry wasn't around yet, so he wasn't in any hurry.

About three minutes passed.

Moody, leaning on a cane, limped into Hephis's sight at a speed several times faster than usual.

His normal eyes looked at Fleur and Krum who were unable to move.

The other magic eye was still spinning, "What on earth happened here?"

"Nothing much, just Krum using all three Forgivable Curses."

Hefeth briefly explained.
