Chapter 255: Ways to Pass
Once again, I came to the trapdoor room on the third floor. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.
Before entering, Hermione sprayed deodorant on the three people, put on the invisible cloak, and was ready to open the music box in her hand at any time.
It can be said that they were "armed to the teeth".

However, when they carefully pushed open the half-closed wooden door, the melodious harp tune came out first, followed by the heavy snoring of the three-headed dog Fluffy.
"Quirrell has been here!"
Tearing off the invisible cloak, the three of them lightly came to Fluffy's side, who was sleeping soundly and didn't react at all.
And the trapdoor was just under the dog's paw.
"We have to speed up!"
Harry and Ron nodded, and just as they were about to move the dog's paw away together, they were lifted to the side by Hermione's hand.
The two were stunned and shocked with double chins. Has Hermione always been so strong? !
The little witch had already opened the trap door and looked back at the two of them, "Let's go!"
"Oh oh oh!"
The two of them came closer like quails, glanced at the dark space below, and suddenly felt a little scared again.
At this time, the sound of the harp began to decrease, and the snoring of the three-headed dog also began to weaken. Hermione, who had training experience, was much more sensitive than in the original book, and pointed her wand at the harp.
——Play it quickly!
A very niche musical instrument spell, which is basically not mastered by normal young wizards, but it is covered in the "Magic Must-Read 1" given by Lu Yuan.
The originally weakened melody was raised again, and the snoring of the three-headed dog quickly kept up with the rhythm.
Harry and Ron also saw the danger at this time and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from their foreheads.
Hermione took out her flying broom at this time. In addition to Harry's original Nimbus 2000, the remaining two were the second-best-performing Sweeping Seven Stars.
This was naturally Hermione's preparation for the adventure.
As for where the money came from, since Harry could have an anonymous friend give him an Invisibility Cloak, why couldn't Hermione have an unknown relative give him a Galleon?
Anyway, Hermione used this excuse. After all, it would be bad for her to avoid her friends when she bought things or used a bow pendant in the future.
Some people might also ask why she didn't buy a Nimbus 2000 with better performance.
Because she was good at housekeeping.
Divide the flying brooms between the two.
Ron took it with excitement, and was a little embarrassed, "Really, really gave it to me?"
"If you don't want it, I can take it back."
Ron's expression was serious, "Quirrell has been down for quite a while, let's go!"
He said, and the first one rushed down, followed by Harry.
Before leaving, Hermione glanced at Fluffy, the three-headed dog snoring like thunder, and seemed to have some other ideas in his eyes, so he flew in.
There was a large area of Devil's Net under the trapdoor.
After seeing this, Hermione understood that even if they jumped down directly, nothing would happen.
However, with the flying broom, the three of them flew directly into the second level.
In the huge room, hundreds of flying keys buzzed like locusts, and if you want to go to the next level, you must find the only special key among the keys in the sky to open the door in front.
Glancing at the old flying broom that had been prepared in the corner, what it meant was self-evident.
"Harry, this is your home court." Ron looked at his brother.
Harry nodded and took the initiative to take off and start looking, while Hermione came to the locked door, pulled out her wand and started to check.
On the other side, Harry had already found the target. With the high performance of the broom under his crotch, he caught the other party in just three turns, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He really can fly.
Good buddy Ron immediately stepped forward to give praise.
Just at this moment, a click sound came, and the two turned their heads at the same time, and saw that the door had been opened.
Harry looked at the key in his hand blankly, and then heard Hermione urging, "Let's go!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Good brother Ron rushed there as soon as possible, and Harry had no choice but to "release" the key and chased after him with a broom.
"Hermione, how did you open this door?" Harry was curious.
"It's very simple. There is a very hidden Confusion Charm on the door. As long as it is offset, the ordinary unlocking charm can be opened. This is obviously a level set by Professor Flitwick, because he once talked about this in class."
Hearing this, the two poor students tacitly did not respond.
"However, it was not Professor Flitwick who reminded me of it," Hermione asked back: "Didn't you notice? Quirrell has entered first, but the level is still intact. Obviously, there are other ways to pass it."
While speaking, the content of the new room level has been revealed. The black and white wizard chessboard occupies the entire space. On the chessboard, various chess pieces and stone statues enlarged in equal proportions block anyone who wants to break in.
The meaning is very clear. If you want to pass, you must play chess!
Ron saw this scene and was about to say excitedly: I'll do it! I'm good at this!
He was pulled into the air by Hermione, and the three of them stuck to the roof, and flew over when the statues were hesitant.
After passing the level, Hermione said: "Look, it's easy to get here as long as you make some adjustments."
Ron had a constipated expression on his face when he heard it.
Harry didn't know what to say, and always felt something was wrong.
The fourth room was not as complete as the previous levels. As soon as I entered, I smelled a stench that went straight to my head, like socks that hadn't been washed for half a year, coupled with sour and smelly feet and spoiled stew, which almost made the three of them "crash".
The source of the stench naturally came from the jungle giant who had fainted in the field.
The three held their breath and sped past.
When they entered the next room, a circle of fire walls suddenly rose around them.
In the middle of the room, there was a long table with several bottles of potions and a logical thinking test on it.
After Hermione looked at it, she found the "fireproof potion" in no time.
"This should be the last level, and Quirrell is behind it!"
"How do you know?"
Hermione pointed to the potion in her hand, "There is only enough for the last person, do I need to say more?"
It is obvious that this is reserved for Harry alone.
"What should we do? Should we really let Harry go in alone?!"
Harry took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me, Hermione, you have helped me a lot here."
However, Hermione shook her head firmly, "Harry, if we really let you go in alone, what is the difference between us and the principal and professors?"
As soon as these words came out, the professors hiding behind the scenes coughed lightly and their expressions were a little unnatural.
"But..."
"I have a solution to the problem of the fire wall. Now the focus is on Quirrell behind the fire wall. I have an idea. Let's do this..."
Hermione approached the two and told them the plan. Ron's eyes lit up and he agreed very much. Harry was a little hesitant, but compared to taking the risk to enter, he nodded in agreement.
So, Hermione drank the remaining fireproof potion, nodded to the two, crossed the fire wall alone and returned to the troll room, and then rode on the flying broom and went back to the way she came.
The professor watching from behind whispered, "What is she going to do? Is she coming to us for help?"
"What should we do? Help or not?"
"At least we have to provide them with a new dose of fireproof potion."
"I hate those who break the rules and are self-righteous!"
Hermione flew back quickly and asked in her heart, "Mr. System, can't Voldemort see that there is something wrong with these childish level-breaking games?"
[How is that possible? The level of the troll room was set up by Quirrell. How could Voldemort not know if there was something fishy? 】
"Then why did he come..."
Halfway through, Hermione also reacted, "He also wants to verify the prophecy, right?"
