Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final game of the Top Five Tournament is about to begin!" Bagman's voice was full of passion, resounding throughout the stands. "We can see that all the warrior teams are in place. Each team will start in order according to the total score ranking of the first two games, with an interval of five minutes!"

"Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts scored a total of 96 points in the first two competitions, ranking first! This gave them a huge advantage of 5 minutes."

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause and cheers broke out in the stands. The young wizards of Hogwarts waved flags and shouted the names of Harry and the other two.

After fully mobilizing the audience's atmosphere, Bagman picked up a special alchemical microphone.

"Now, please get the Hogwarts Warriors ready."

Hearing Bagman's voice in the waiting room, Harry and the other two held their breath, gripped their wands tightly, and stared at the colorful magic barrier in front of them, ready to attack at any time.

“3-2-1, start!”

As the countdown ended, the colorful magic barrier dissipated like water waves, revealing the true face of the maze. Harry and the other two rushed in without hesitation.

As soon as they stepped into the maze, they felt the huge difference in space. It was much wider than it looked from the outside, and it was obviously cast with a traceless extension spell.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, without even a sound. On the ceiling, a faint blue magic lamp was hung every few meters.

The light was so dim that it was almost pitiful. It could only barely illuminate a few steps within the distance, but it made the darkness around them seem even thicker and deeper, as if something was watching them from the darkness.

The towering hedges are almost connected to the ceiling, blocking most of the light outside, leaving only a few faint shadows through the gaps, projected on the ground, forming irregular mottled patterns. The thick tree wall casts a heavy shadow, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Lumos!" Harry waved his wand and a ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand, dispelling the darkness around him.

Cedric was not idle either. He whispered a detection spell. Although the map showed that there was no danger near the entrance, no one could be sure whether the dark creatures in the maze would run around. It would be better to confirm it first to be on the safe side.

After making sure there was no danger around, he nodded to Harry and the others.

Then the three of them used the light brought by the fluorescent spell and ran quickly forward along the only passage.

Not long after, they came across the first fork in the road. From the map they had obtained before, the road on the right was a dead end, and the road on the left was the correct one, but there would be some dark creatures with red hats lying in ambush on the road.

"Dear audience, the Hogwarts warrior team has come to the first fork in the road. Should we go left or right? That is the question."

Bagman explained passionately, "However, the three warriors did not seem to hesitate. They raised their wands and pointed them at the tall hedge in front of them."

Three red rays of light shot out and a deafening roar was heard from the magic screen. When the flying branches fell to the ground, the young wizards were surprised to find on the screen that a huge irregular gap had appeared on the tall hedge. Harry and the other two held their wands tightly and went straight through the gap without even looking at the paths on both sides.

"It's the blasting curse!" Bagman shouted directly. His excited look made it impossible for anyone to imagine that this was the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald.

"The three of them used the blasting spell together and punched a big hole in the hedge in front of them. It was really unexpected."

"Look, the three of them have raised their wands again and used the blasting spell to blast a gap in the hedge in front of them, Merlin! Are they planning to clear a path for themselves?"

"I have to say that Hogwarts' tactics are very effective. Since it is difficult to find the right path in a maze, we can just create a way out ourselves."

"Cheating!" Karkaroff stood up from the principal's seat. He looked at the scene on the magic screen and angrily slammed the table in front of him. "This is a serious cheating!"

"I think this is a very smart move." The headmaster of Vagado smiled and spoke with admiration for Harry and the other two.

"Karkaroff, technically the rules of the tournament don't forbid players from destroying the hedges, so this has nothing to do with cheating."

"Let me be fair," said the headmaster of Ilvermorny. "We all know that those hedges are enchanted with reinforcement spells. It takes a lot of effort to destroy them. To be honest, it's no easier than facing those dark creatures."

"Besides, most of those dark creatures are violent. I think the Hogwarts team will soon pay the price for their recklessness."

Hearing the comments from the headmaster of Ilvermorny, Dumbledore's eyes flickered and he calmly stroked his beard on his chest. He neither denied nor expressed his opinion. He just smiled and responded to the gazes around him.

There were no particularly dangerous dark creatures in the first level of the maze. Although they were violent, they also had basic survival instincts. In this case, they would not dare to cause trouble for Harry and the other two.

This is indeed the case. In places where the magic camera cannot reach, many dark creatures similar to the red-hatted ones, after hearing the rumbling sound of the explosion, they all crawled into the corners of the hedges and hid themselves tightly.

I can't afford it, I really can't afford it!

The Auror security officers hiding in the dark were also shocked by the behavior of Harry and the other two.

Wow, these young people are so energetic!

Harry and the other two were not aware of the conversation between the headmasters, nor could they see the security guard's expression. They had no intention of caring about the mental health of the dark creatures. After getting the map, they figured out one thing: the shortest distance between the starting point and the end point is a straight line.

They had only one goal, which was to move forward, and to move forward non-stop. They could just smash the hedges and blind dark creatures that stood in their way. The rules didn't forbid it, and as for wasting their energy...

The three said that it was just a few blasting spells and some water.

To be honest, facing the hedge in front of him, Harry wanted to use Sharpshooter. After all, this spell was more concise and efficient for chopping trees, and there would be no flying debris.

However, the Shadowless Sword has a hint of dark magic in it, and Harry is worried that he will be judged to have violated the rules for this reason.

In order to avoid this kind of mistake, he could only cast the blasting spell obediently. He blasted harder and harder, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration in his heart recently.

There were continuous explosions, and the hedges fell down. The three men opened fire at full speed and quickly approached the center of the first floor of the maze.

While Harry and the other two were moving forward at full speed, Sebastian returned to the second floor of the maze from the third floor.

He just stood at the entrance to the third floor and sensed the trophy from afar, but to his surprise, the trophy was not disguised with a door key.

This is interesting...

What backup plan did Barty have in mind? How would he take Harry away?
