HP Polar Night

Chapter 23 Strange Level

After the Night Walk, Draco and Harry received labor punishment together, but they were asked to go to the Forbidden Forest.Draco was obviously terrified by the Forbidden Forest, and when he ran back, he had no gestures, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

At that time, Agares was chatting with several seniors in front of the fireplace in the Slytherin common room, and Draco threw himself into his arms, which made him jump.

One of the fourth-year seniors seemed to want to laugh at Draco's cowardly behavior, but before he could say anything, another fifth-year senior stopped him.The seniors interpreted the Slytherin-style etiquette very well, and they kindly left space for the pair of cousins, which got Agares a slightly thankful and apologetic smile.

The noise in the common room gradually became quieter, and more and more Slytherins left and went back to their dormitories.Over the course of the semester, they apparently reached a consensus once again.

After comforting the panicked Draco, Agares learned from him what happened tonight in the Forbidden Forest.

The unicorn is hunted down, and the shadow that sucks the blood of the unicorn.

These two things put together can lead to a very, very dire conclusion.

Unicorns are pure and friendly creatures. For wizards, killing a unicorn must be something that only dark wizards would do.

The blood of unicorns that are killed will change from the purest to the darkest at the moment of death.The curse in the blood will make another wizard with high magic power weaken and die in a very short time. No potion or spell can remove this curse, it acts directly on the soul.

At the same time, unicorn blood also plays a very important role in incomplete life forms.It can prolong life, allowing the person who drinks the blood to linger for a while.

Not a good guess for a man who wants to continue his life in this way even if he is cursed.

Agares lifted the anti-eavesdropping spell that was placed around him, and half hugged Draco and sent him back to the dormitory.

Since Harry was the one who encountered this scene with Draco, maybe he should also send a letter to him, but Draco ran away from the scene later. I don’t know if Harry, who was facing the dark wizard alone, have been hurt.

After Draco slowly fell asleep under the sedative, Agares finally left the dormitory.

He skillfully cast a disillusionment spell, an advanced spell that should have been taught in the sixth grade. Agares mastered it in the second semester of the first grade, and successfully improved it in the second grade.

The illusion spell he cast lasts longer and does not affect his casting of other spells.

Agares walked unimpeded all the way to the outside of the castle, and he could clearly see the exit of the Forbidden Forest and the stone hut of Hagrid the Forester.

Apparently Harry wasn't here anymore, because he saw Hagrid coming out of the Forbidden Forest, holding a dead unicorn.Professor McGonagall, who was watching the night, went up to meet her. She looked extremely shocked and disturbed. Even from a long distance, Agares could see the undisguised expression on the witch's face.

If Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom had been injured or stayed at the scene, I am afraid that Professor McGonagall and Hagrid would not be busy working on a unicorn at this moment. Saddened by his death.

Since the other party was no longer here, and had probably returned to Gryffindor Tower, Agares decided to go back.It should be a considerate gesture for Sylph to send a letter to express condolences tomorrow morning.

In fact, this letter played a big role.

Harry and the others felt angry and disdainful for Draco's behavior of running away, and of course Draco also felt a little ashamed of it after he calmed down the next day.For himself being so cowardly last night.Because of this, Draco has been locking himself in the dormitory for the final review of the exam week, and even the daily breakfast and dinner are delivered directly to the dormitory by the house elf.

That letter from Agares brought Harry a lot of comfort, but the green-eyed boy didn't tell his dark-haired friend the truth about the unicorn's death, the centaur talk, and the speculation about Voldemort.

Harry spent his exam week in fear, and after the exam, before he could breathe a sigh of relief from the tense atmosphere of the exam room, the ensuing speculation that the Philosopher's Stone might be stolen made him And his two friends, Hermione and Ron, were in a state of tension.

It just so happened that Principal Dumbledore was summoned to London by an urgent message from the Ministry of Magic, and when they tried to seek help from Professor McGonagall, the witch obviously did not believe their speculation.

The three little wizards who were at a loss gave full play to their Gryffindor's fearless spirit and decided to go alone to the place where the Sorcerer's Stone was placed, and transfer the Sorcerer's Stone out in advance.

But when they tried their best to pass the level set by the professors, Harry drank the only little antidote that allowed him to pass through the black flame under the speculation of the clever witch Hermione, and came to the room where the Sorcerer's Stone was placed at the end At that time, he saw two people who surprised him.

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Quirinus Quirrell, and Agareth Black standing beside him with a strange expression.

Back in time, when Harry learned from Hagrid that he had leaked through the three-headed dog Lu Wei, Agares, who had just come down from the library, met Professor Quirrell in a hurry on the third floor.Due to the relatively harmonious relationship with the other party this semester, Agares stopped to say hello to the other party.

Professor Quirrell obviously had something urgent to deal with, so he just nodded back to Agares.But after he took a few steps, he stopped suddenly.

"B...Lake, is it convenient for you...to come with me...to a place...?"

Agares was a bit strange, but he, who has always performed well, did not reject the opponent.During the month of labor service, he has become accustomed to helping the other party handle various class materials.This time, he also thought that the other party had something similar to hand over to him, but until he followed Professor Quirrell to the right-hand side of the corridor on the fourth floor, the one who was told not to approach at the beginning of the school year, there were still animals inside. After looking at the room of the vicious three-headed dog, he felt surprised.

"Professor Quirrell, the principal doesn't seem to allow students to enter here?" Agares stood at the door, and in front of him, the three-headed dog that reached the ceiling was grinning at him, looking particularly terrifying.

Professor Quirrell, wearing a large hood, transforms a brooch into a harp and lets it play on its own.

The three-headed dog immediately closed its eyes in bewilderment when it heard the music, and fell asleep on the ground almost three seconds later.

Agares watched all this in amazement.

Professor Quirrell walked around the three-headed dog and opened the trapdoor behind it.

"Follow... come with me... Black."

At this moment, Professor Quirrell had a strange look on his face.Agares moved closer to him and looked over him to the bottom of the trapdoor.It was pitch black.

"Lumos." He cast a simple Light Charm, and the silver ball of light broke away from his wand and flew below.He saw a mass of tangled black vegetation. "Oh, it's the devil's net."

The way to deal with the devil's net is very simple, as long as a flame is enough.But Agares was very puzzled that he was brought here, and he was also curious about what was under the trapdoor.

Professor Quirrell clearly saw a trace of curiosity that he concealed very well. "I... let's go down."

Out of respect for the professor, although Agares didn't want to jump into a bunch of devil's web, he did it anyway.Professor Quirrell, who followed him and jumped down, took the lead in repelling the devil's net with a dark red flame.

They followed the road to another room.

The room was brightly lit, and many winged keys were flying around in the room. A huge and heavy wooden door blocked the other side of the room.Agares used an araho hole on the wooden door, but it didn't work. "I think, among these thousands of keys, we need to find the one that can open it."

"The key to the wooden door is coming!" Agares waved his wand, but it didn't work. "Do we have to fly up to find the key?" He noticed a few broomsticks piled up in the corner of the room.

Professor Quirrell went up to get two, and handed one of them to Agares, obviously asking him to join the search for the key.

Agares couldn't, so he got on the broom and flew into a bunch of keybirds.

Fortunately, they were lucky. After only a few minutes, they grabbed the silver key with sky blue wings.Agares handed the key to Professor Quirrell, who rudely stuffed the key into the keyhole and opened the door.And this act of exposing his inner anxiety caused Agares to raise his eyebrows slightly. He held his wand tightly in his palm, and secretly raised his guard.

"Come on... Black... let's go in."

In the next room was a flag that had been completely revived by a powerful transfiguration technique.They seem to automatically change the rules according to the number of visitors. When Agares and Professor Quirrell entered, two chess pieces disappeared automatically, and they had to replace them.

It was Agares who commanded the chess game. He successfully choked the opponent's camp with the fewest steps. The opponent's king threw the crown at his feet, which indicated that he had passed another level.

By this time, Agares had seen that the arrangement of these rooms was done by the Hogwarts professors.Is this part of the final exam?Let the students keep in mind what they have learned, so set up such a break-through link?

So Professor Quirrell brought him here in advance, did he want him to help test the effectiveness of these levels?

Agares asked.

"You... you are very smart...smart, Mr. Black... and... there are two... two more, I think... we can... pass the test smoothly..." Professor Quirrell returned a strange smile.

But before Agares noticed his expression, he had already turned his head and walked to the next room.

As soon as they stepped in, they were counterattacked by a troll.

The troll was huge, and Agares wondered if this was the one they missed last Halloween.He missed the "Trolls Come" scene on Halloween Eve because he and Eddie were alone at his own little party and didn't go to the party in the Great Hall.It is said that Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger defeated the troll alone, and the whole Hogwarts was talking about it at that time.The Weasley twins regretted that they had missed such a great opportunity for adventure.

Just like the giant monster described in the textbook, besides emitting a stench that can suffocate people, the thick-skinned man in front of him is immune to most spells, or because the spells are not powerful enough Big, can only play a negligible role.

As soon as Agares remembered what Harry said about their method of subduing the troll, he saw Professor Quirrell conjure a huge wooden club out of thin air and knocked hard on the troll's forehead.The troll fell with a thud, a bloody lump on its head.

Agares frowned.

Professor Quirrell's eagerness has been fully conveyed, which made him very puzzled, and he hesitated whether to follow the other party down.

"Go... Black..." Professor Quirrell pushed Agareth's shoulders and pushed him into the next room without any doubt.As soon as they stepped in, two bright flames lit one after the other, trapping them in the middle.

The author has something to say:

Everyone knows that these levels are set up to train the Savior and his friends, but does Dumbledore know that the Dark Lord is behind Quirrell?
