Chapter 1103 Unchanging Game

There are no dragons or water monsters in the maze, but there are higher challenges, and people will change after entering the maze. Try to find the Goblet of Fire, but be careful or you will lose yourself.

— Albus Dumbledore

It is difficult for girls to understand boys' obsession with winning and losing.

Quidditch was just a game for people like Hermione, and it strained house relations.

Boys have a different understanding of it, even if it is a game, there must be a winner. Games like the Triwizard Tournament are a bit more serious than Quidditch, but not to the point where you can die to get the Goblet of Fire.

The people in the labyrinth Pomona was in right now could kill.

Mungnes Hagrid didn't stipulate that only those who challenged the maze could enter when he designed the maze.

The former got the treasure through all kinds of hardships, while the latter set up an ambush. Maybe the latecomers' intelligence and physical strength are not enough to challenge the puzzles designed by Mungnes, but they can deal with people like themselves. What's more, people who complete the challenge are often exhausted, which is a good time to "rob".

No matter how a person breaks into the maze, he has to go back the same way. He has to go through the difficulties he encountered before, and it is not easy to leave.

It is understandable why Grindelwald chose not to go through this maze in the end. It was too strenuous to go alone, and he took his subordinates in. Those people might not be able to believe it when faced with the temptation of treasure. Grindelwald is very good at manipulating people's hearts, and it is precisely because he can see people's hearts that he does not take this risk.

The wizards of Palodo may know the structure of the maze better than they do, but Pomona made a Marauder's map, which can clearly show the location of those people, which is the best for the side that needs to win more with less and engage in guerrilla ambushes But no more.

Pomona used the lengthening spell to make the devil's net stretch along the gap under the hedge and stick to the ground.

There were two people about three aisles down, and Severus was hiding elsewhere now. When her side launches an attack, he can sneak attack while the two are in a hurry.

Working with someone like Severus was fine, but it was really difficult to trust him completely like Rubeus Hagrid.

Rubeus Hagrid was an idiot and a tight-lipped one, but Albus had given him the task of taking the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts.

The Sorcerer's Stone is a bait, specially used to catch Voldemort's fish.

Sun Gold is something similar, and it's clear Voldemort has taken the bait again.

No one wants to be on the losing side, let alone one that's broken like Quirrell.

It's not that easy to win. In the competition for Lily, Severus lost to James, and he, a "nerd", actually wanted to show Lily ride a broom.

James has everything that Severus doesn't, he's popular, he's a Quidditch player, he's rich, but he's a megalomaniac, and Lily is blind to see James Potter at the age of 15.

From birth to growing up, James has not encountered any setbacks except for Lily. He is like a darling favored by God.

Harry wasn't doing well at Petunia's, and he was doing okay at Hogwarts because of the old fool's blessing. In the words of Severus, Harry is like a prince who has everything, so he created trouble for Harry, and let Harry, who has been going smoothly, taste the frustration.

Setbacks can make a person grow, but too many setbacks can destroy a person's self-confidence. That Snape who can wear greasy hair and walk with Platinum Malfoy keeps talking about his appearance. What is he thinking? Is he confident or inferior?

She doesn't care what a man looks like, that's the most unreliable thing, why should he bother with these trivial details.

Two flashes of red light flashed in the darkness, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, it should be Severus' sneak attack.

She wore the cloak of invisibility and came to the next alleyway when Severus kicked the wands of the two lying on the ground aside, leaving them covered in the devil's web.

"What are you doing!" Pomona screamed, raising her wand to burn the vines with fire.

"If you don't kill them, they'll kill us." Severus said slowly. "You don't think that if you let them go now, they will show mercy to you later in the battle, do you?"

Pomona watched the people on the ground being swallowed up by the devil's net little by little.

"You don't want information?"

Severus didn't remember until she reminded him, and burned the devil's web on one of them with fire. The high temperature generated by the fire woke up the unconscious man, and he hurriedly slapped the flames on his body.

Severus raised his wand at the man.

He was proficient enough to use Legilimency with silent spells.

"Damn it." Severus lowered his wand. "He doesn't speak English."

Machiavelli wrote in The Prince, after the monarch annexes the new land, it is like putting new limbs on the old body, requiring a process of adaptation.

Louis XII lost Milan for the second time because the customs and habits of Milan and France were very different, and the people who had opened the city gate for the French drove the French away.

Places such as Burgundy, although the language is different, but their customs are the same as the Franks, and eventually they become part of France.

And Burgundy is only separated from Milan by the Alps.

Conquest by force does not mean victory, the most important thing is control.

She finally wanted to understand what happened to his satisfied expression after those two indulgences.

She gave her body and mind at that time, and he could do whatever he wanted, whatever he wanted to do to her.

Rather than conquering and possessing, Severus should be more irresistible to control, which is exactly the same as his father Tobias.

Tobias tells Erin that you can't use a wand, and he ends up yelling at Erin. He didn't do it directly, but his fearless verbal violence still turned Irene into a bitter woman.

Harry put his trust in Severus and Albus, they said he was the seventh Horcrux, and he really obediently went to die.

If Pomona gave Severus all her trust, then she would be numbered days away from becoming a second Irene. She definitely wouldn't die like Harry did, but he'd let her do things he couldn't have imagined.

"You are not very happy yourself, how can you say that I enjoy it alone?"

"What?" Severus had just cast the Sleeping Charm on the second man, letting the devil's web wrap around him again.

"Help me." The man did not speak English, but he did, but Pomona ignored him.

"You're still your father's son." Pomona looked at him fearlessly. "Are you setting up new rules for me?"

"I do not understand what you say?"

"Severus, you understand what I'm talking about." She said calmly, the man in front of her was no longer the boy who showed the girl on a broomstick "Your father did not allow your mother to use a wand, this is your first wand history, isn't it?"

"You think, I'm the same person as my father?" Severus said with a smile, "Why are you so bold?"

"The living habits of muggles and wizards are different. Your mother compromised, so she was conquered by your father." Pomona held the wand with her fingertips and turned it slowly. "You said you like to watch me do housework with magic. Which means you've chosen the wizard's life, right?"

"That's right," he said slowly and dangerously.

"Then you should get used to one thing. Witches are not Muggle women, so they can be manipulated so easily by men." Pomona smiled and said, "In fact, we manipulate you, for example, the love potion."

The potions master wrapped his cloak aggressively around himself.

"You want to poison me?"

"If I say yes, you will have doubts about every dish I bring to the table, because you don't trust me anymore." She looked him up and down. gone."

Severus smiled.

"You think I trust you?"

"I don't know, do you trust me?" She shrugged mischievously "I want to be free, but you want me to 'know the rules', you know how much I used to like to go out at night like Sirius and the others, I hate marriages with power , but I don't hate you, you can't take away my trust and completely control me."

"God, is that what you think?" Severus murmured as he watched her.

"I am a witch, prince, and wisdom has brought us death, because we can recognize lies." Pomona smiled and said, "No woman can conceive like Maria without tasting the joy of original sin, then It's just a dream of you men."

"How do you know he's not really a miracle?" Severus said with a smile. "He really is God's beloved Son."

"How did the 'seed' get in?" Pomona asked back.

"His body is not human, although it looks like it." Severus narrowed his eyes. "Medieval alchemists thought he was the Philosopher's Stone."

"Look, it's better to talk about these topics than we used to... Hey!" She stamped her foot angrily, and the old bat turned away without giving her a chance to speak.

"Come here!" Seeing that she didn't keep up, he said to her fiercely, "They have a new move."

Pomona hurried over to look at the map.

I saw many small footprints at the entrance, densely packed, pouring into the maze like a tide.
