The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts - Vol 4 Chapter 166

, the fastest update to the latest chapter on the day of the Hogwarts draw!

“Scuba, skip two levels.” Cedric made a quick decision.

He didn’t choose the better-looking gillsweed, but chose the Muggle diving props scuba, because he chose this way to maximize the use of points, 20 points to buy equipment, 60 points to jump twice close. In this way, he only needs to pass a level and can directly enter the Black Lake to save people.

“An unexpected but reasonable choice.” Bagman nodded, handed the scuba to Cedric, helped him put it on, and handed him the booklet below.

Cedric opened it and found that the booklet was actually an instruction manual for scuba. For a moment, Cedric didn’t know what to say.

From a certain point of view, the organizers are still very considerate.

After Cedric finished his selection, Krum walked to the front of the stage, and after thinking about it, he didn’t take the group of gills, but skipped a level with points.

As for how to move underwater, he already has a countermeasure. Naturally, he does not need to spend points to buy props, but uses limited points to skip levels.

Krum chose this also because Fleur still has 32 points, and she can afford it whether it’s Gillsweed or jumping levels – if she can only pay for Gingerwort points and can’t jump levels, then Krum Will not hesitate to choose to buy Gillaria, to cause some trouble for Hibiscus.

In many cases, the competition is not only the upper limit, but also the lower limit.

With deafening cheers, the three warriors set off. Cedric will start the challenge from the third level, Krum will be in the second level, and Hibiscus, who bought the gills, will have to start from scratch.

The three warriors were brought to the starting point of the wooden tower by Bagman.

As they got closer, they could see more clearly. It was a three-story building. Fleur was left on the first floor, Krum was on the second floor, and Cedric was taken to the entrance on the third floor.

“Push the door open, and it’s your checkpoint inside. Of course, it’s great if you want to get a few breaths of fresh air outside.” Bagman “motivated” Cedric with his signature smile. It wasn’t because Cedric was a British wizard or because his father knew Bagman, but simply because Cedric would benefit Bagman the most from winning the Triwizard Cup.

Yep, the head of the Ministry of Magic’s sporting department has started trading again.

Cedric certainly wouldn’t waste his precious game time to breathe some fresh air, he just adjusted his mentality, and then pushed the door and entered the third floor of the wooden building.

After pushing the door open, the scene behind the door was somewhat unexpected to Cedric. He thought that there might be a wizard guarding the gate, and he couldn’t enter the next floor without defeating him, or there might be some strange and magical creature inside guarding the exit. But when he actually walked in, he found that it was just an empty room.

It’s a bit wrong to say that it is a house. The “courtyard” may be more vivid. The world behind the door is more like an open-air courtyard, with rockeries and pine trees in it. When you look up, you can see a blue sky. But it was this blue sky that made Cedric understand that it was all an illusion of magic—there was no such fine weather in the Scottish Highlands in February!

The door behind Cedric closed at some point, and the game officially started.

He pulled out his wand, put the scuba back on his back, and walked cautiously into the courtyard. There was nothing unusual in the courtyard, and no hints were left in the rockery and pine trees.

But at the root of the pine tree, Cedric found a sundial buried in the earth with a silver pointer. He poked the sundial with his wand, but found nothing unusual. The needle on the sundial seemed to be able to move, but part of the right side was caught by the roots of the pine tree.

After some exploration, Cedric felt that this should be the decoration of the original venue, and his eyes passed through the courtyard and fell on the wooden door at the end of the courtyard. He felt that the real level should be behind the wooden door.

He walked to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the wooden door. He didn’t know what he was about to encounter, but he knew that the test was about to begin.

Behind the wooden door is a room decorated like a common room—armchairs, stools, chandeliers, and, according to the red and gold color scheme, it looks like a Gryffindor House lounge.

Not only Cedric had this idea, but the students watching outside the stadium felt the same. However, Gryffindor students also stood up to refute the rumors, saying that this was just a similar style, but not the original Gryffindor common room.

Looking at this costume, and thinking that the wooden building has three floors, Cedric made a bold inference: the first and second floors may be levels designed based on Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Now he suddenly felt that the sixty points he spent were worth the money. He has no concept of those two schools, and if he encounters an unfamiliar style, he will probably get stuck, which would be miserable.

There is a similar door at the end of this “Gryffindor Common Room”. Cedric walked to the door with the mentality of giving it a try and pushed it.

Sure enough, the door was locked.

Obviously, this is a level and not a Hogwarts decoration style display. Cedric took out his wand in desperation and knocked on the lion-shaped lock.

“Araho Cave is open!”

The door lock didn’t respond.

Cedric:…

Solve the puzzle? He looked at this “lion head” thoughtfully, and he suddenly remembered the Ravenclaw knocker mentioned by his girlfriend when he was chatting with him.

Will this lion head be the same as the Ravenclaw knocker, which requires guessing – considering the style of Gryffindor, don’t come up with some real combat to win it?

Cedric knocked on the lion’s head warily, but nothing happened.

Cedric was speechless for a while: This would make me look stupid!

Indeed, his cautious appearance was indeed very harmonious, and there were bursts of laughter from the stands.

After the conjecture was proven wrong, Cedric went in circles in the common room. In the end, he really found something strange.

“Is there too many lion elements here?” He found that there were quite a few lion statues about a foot in size. If you count it carefully, there are thirteen. Even if the symbol of Gryffindor is a lion, there are too many.

Cedric shuddered, and immediately began to seriously examine these lion statues. He soon discovered that the bases of these statues could be twisted.

After carefully observing for a while, he looked at the wooden door he entered here. There was also a lion statue beside the door, which was a little bigger than the other statues in the room.

Cedric pushed it first, only to find that the figurine was as still as if it had been welded to death. This is different from other figurines, and Cedric immediately determined that there was something wrong with this figurine.

After thinking about what he usually learned in class, combined with all kinds of common sense in the magic world, Cedric tapped the lion’s head with his wand.

This is a little common sense in the wizarding world: all kinds of magical mechanisms can be triggered with a wand, such as the wall in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron. Wands are an important tool for wizards to distinguish between wizards and Muggles, so if an agency wants wizards to trigger without Muggles accidentally touching them, using wands as a medium is the most common way.

Not surprisingly, a small group of golden-red flames spit out from the mouth of the lion that was knocked by the wand. The flames slowly drifted and flew into the mouth of a lion statue not far ahead, then changed the angle and continued to float. Fly, until it flies to the wall and disappears with a snap.

Cedric looked at the statue in front of him, and then looked at the lion door lock on the opposite side, and suddenly realized.

Next, he kept adjusting the angle of the lion sculpture, and finally let the flame fly to the door lock. After the fireball hit the lion’s head, the lion trembled and turned into a door handle.

At this moment Cedric walked over, and when he pulled it, the door opened.

Behind the door, there is another room. The decoration in this room is mainly bronze and cyan. At first glance, it is the “Ravenclaw Common Room”. In this room, Cedric also saw several statues. A bronze raven statue and a door with a raven head.

Although it was a bit repetitive, it was naturally great for Cedric to be able to solve two problems with one way of thinking, so he repeated the old trick, but this time after the golden red flame hit the crow’s head, the crow’s head was completely different. Nothing has changed.

Cedric: ?

He did not believe in evil and tried again, but it was no different from the previous experience.

Cedric fell silent: sure enough, the level designer couldn’t let him go through two rooms with one thought.

He observed the room in front of him again, and found anything unusual. The flames in this lounge fireplace are not yellow, but blue!

And blue is the color of Ravenclaw!

Cedric tried again, and this time he deliberately let the fireball into the fireplace. The fireball did not disappear, but turned blue. This time, Ravenclaw’s door can also be opened.

After Ravenclaw’s “Lounge”, it’s Hufflepuff’s.

Only this time Cedric fell silent as he looked at the four little badger statues on the ceiling.

The ceiling was a full twenty feet above the floor, and he couldn’t reach it even when he stepped on the table.

It’s really not enough to step on one table… Cedric made a simple thought, and then came up with an unpretentious solution: can’t I reach it with two more tables?

The desks in this room looked solid, not some kind of junk that folds with one foot, and Cedric knew a good spell to reinforce the furniture so that it could take more weight.

Cedric was a doer, and he acted on whatever he thought of. He walked to the edge of a table, put his hand under it, and forcefully—

Work hard!

Use force?

The table remained motionless.

Cedric: ? ? ?

Then he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the ordinary wooden table in front of him couldn’t move at all. Even if he uses magic, the tables cannot be moved.

“Permanent Adhesion Charm!” Cedric realized that these several tables had been placed in the Permanent Adhesive Charm and were fixed in place.

He had a bad premonition, and then he found that the large pieces of furniture around were all fixed in place by the permanent adhesive spell, and only those small ornaments and cushions could be moved.

“Ah this…” Cedric felt a burst of despair. He seemed to know what to do.

With a wave of his wand, he turned the cushions into something to stand on, layer upon layer, and finally allowed him to touch the badger sculpture on the ceiling.

When the orange flames opened the locked door, a smile appeared on Cedric’s face: This room tests the warriors’ level of Transfiguration! Wizards who can’t turn their pads into stepping stones will be stuck here.

Fortunately, his Transfiguration level is okay!

Looking at Cedric’s clearance method, Dumbledore’s face twitched twice in the stands, and there was a look of crying and laughing on his face.

“What’s the matter?” Madam Maxime was keenly aware of the change in Dumbledore’s mood.

“Uh… Classmate Diggory used a… um… quite unexpected way of solving the puzzle.” Dumbledore said with tears in his eyes.

“What is the correct way to solve the puzzle?” Madame Maxime was quite curious.

“There’s a pole in the room, pull it down, and the room will turn upside down, so that the badger statue on the ceiling is on the floor… I also put a permanent sticker on all furniture that might hurt people. Curse.” Dumbledore spread his hands and said helplessly: “Students will always find strange and strange ideas for solving problems.”

When Madame Maxime heard this, she couldn’t help laughing, and there was a happy atmosphere in the referee’s bench.

“But it’s too naive to think that this level has only this thing.” Dumbledore’s eyes flashed with a trace of light: “The good show is still to come!”

Just as the two principals were talking, Cedric had already solved the last Slytherin-themed room and opened the door.

Behind the door is a corridor, but when he reached the end of the corridor and opened the door at the end of the corridor to see the scene behind the door, he was stunned.

He returned to the courtyard at the beginning, which was not at all what he expected!

The little wizards in the stands also let out a burst of exclamation, and everyone couldn’t understand why this happened.

Because in their perspective, Cedric was always forward, and the wooden building he was in was also an arc from the outside, not a closed ring.

So why did he go back to the starting point? It can only be that the corridor is making trouble, or the level is more than four rooms…

Cedric quickly rushed across the courtyard and ran into a very familiar room, a hut like a Gryffindor common room.

Everything went back to the beginning, and he stood blankly in front of the lion statue.

Looking at this familiar arrangement, he couldn’t help but utter a foul language: The person who designed this level must have some psychological problem!

The layout of the room is exactly the same, even the angles of the lion statues have not changed.
