Chapter 344 Cedric Diggory

After listening to Professor White's words, the girl blinked: This game is so childish...

In her opinion, couldn't this be done with a little effort? I am already fifteen years old, and I am no longer old enough to play this kind of game. However, out of respect for Professor White, she still took the wooden box and started playing with it.

Helga smiled and said nothing, this game is not as simple as it seems.

The four beads at the four corners of the box are not affected by gravity, but are very sensitive to magic, so even an untrained little wizard can instinctively make the beads move. Being able to move does not mean that you can accurately push the beads into the corresponding holes. Talent can be reflected by whether you can accurately control the beads.

However, this device also has its problems, that is, once the wizard picks up the wand, he can easily control the beads in the box. So Helga forbade students to use wands.

The girl who didn't know the truth picked up the box and subconsciously tilted one corner. As a result, the beads did not fall as she expected, but were firmly fixed in the four corners of the wooden box as if they were stuck.

girl:? ? ?

Hufflepuff smiled "Hey hey", she loved seeing this surprised expression!

After gently tapping the wooden box to no avail, the girl realized that the game was not as simple as it seemed. She held a corner of the wooden box with both hands and stared at the beads in the box seriously.

At this moment, she really wanted to make the beads inside move.

As if sensing her thoughts, the yellow bead in the corner suddenly trembled, and then "whooshed" out of the corner where it was, hitting the edge of the wooden box like a golden snitch, and let out a There was a crisp sound.

"It's done!" The girl was delighted: making the beads move is half the battle! She comforted herself like this.

Then she carefully repeated the "process" just now, and the beads started to move again, but the result was the same as last time, the wooden beads flew to the other side of the box and did not obey her orders at all.

After trying this for more than ten times, the girl gave up - the last straw was when the yellow ball fell into the green hole, thus completely losing the possibility of passing the level.

She put the wooden box on the table in front of her and told Professor White with a little embarrassment that she could not control these balls.

"It's okay, it's okay." Helga had already expected it. She picked up the wooden box and reset all four beads with a flick.

At this time, many Hufflepuff students had noticed the game played by Professor White and the girl. They gathered around the two and looked at the wooden box in the girl's hand with curious eyes.

Seeing that the students were attracted, and everyone's eyes were shining with eagerness to try, Helga decided to add fire to this enthusiasm.

"Children, whoever gets through this game first, I will give him a cup!" She took out a small gold cup from her arms. The cup was extremely delicately made, with a vivid little statue carved on it. badger.

"During the day, when clear water is poured into a cup, it will turn into honey water; at night, when clear water is poured into the cup, it will turn into wine; at the junction of morning and dusk, it will turn into black tea." Helga said for the students surrounding her Introduced the function of the cup.

Now, more people are willing to play games.

They took turns trying, but few could get these sensitive balls to run into the right holes.

Those failed little wizards did not leave, but ran to the other side to make way for students who had never tried before, and passed on their experience.

"Don't try to move the ball by tilting the box!"

"Just say 'move' silently in your mind."

"Don't be too impatient, slow down, be gentle..."

Helga did not stop the students from passing on their experience. She had already considered this. The few words of advice she summarized could help the little wizard find the correct way to start the game faster, but the actual performance of the game still depended on talent. It's like telling someone who has never been exposed to shooting games to left-click to shoot, right-click to open the scope, and R to reload. These insights are useful, but of no real use.

The box was handed to a boy with a round face. Like other students, he could not control the ball very well. The ball kept making clear and crisp sounds in the box, and the boy's round face became increasingly red. .

In the end, after failing a few times, he put the wooden box aside and ran away with his face flushed.

"Don't try again?" Helga glanced at the boy, but the boy just closed his mouth and shook his head.

"Let me give it a try." A voice came from the crowd. Many students subconsciously moved out of the way, and a tall, handsome boy walked out of the crowd. He has black hair and bright gray eyes.

Seeing the boy appearing in front of her, Helga's eyes lit up: she knew this student, his name was Cedric Diggory, he was a fifth-year student at Hufflepuff Academy, he was the captain of the team and the ball-seeker. Hand, and also the prefect of the college.

To sum it up in one sentence, he is so good that he doesn't even look like a Hufflepuff.

Helga handed the box to Cedric. Cedric did not rush to start the game, but thanked him before starting to play with the box.

Everyone, including Hufflepuff, held their breath, as if they were afraid that their breathing would affect Cedric's performance.

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound in the box, which was the sound of beads hitting the wall of the box. Cedric successfully activated the beads. Then, in less than ten seconds, "dang, dang, dang, dang" came from the box one after another. Four muffled sounds.

This is the sound of beads falling into the hole.

Cedric returned the wooden box to Hufflepuff, and he had already put the four beads into the corresponding holes.

There was warm applause and cheers in the lounge, mixed with a few screams from girls, and a smile appeared on Helga's face.

She has found the answer.

It's a pity that he is older, but it won't have much influence. I will try hard to persuade him to stay in school for further study after graduation. Moreover, the magic power in the older wizard's body is stronger, and his strength grows faster after being taught by him.

After clearing the level, Cedric was not in a hurry to claim his prize. He told Helga that he had just jumped in line on a whim, so he hoped that the professor would give other students a chance. If someone else could finish the game, he would compete with them again.

Helga naturally had no objection - her purpose was to identify highly gifted children, not to give out a cup and naturally hope that every student would try it.

But then no one in the lounge could pass the level like Cedric, and he became the undisputed winner.
