It was still raining.
"Okay, okay … Let's not …" Harry took a deep breath and looked at everyone.
"Now, there's one more person in our team.
As for who the extra person is, we don't know yet. "
For a moment, everyone looked at each other warily.
"In the beginning, we had four Gryffindor.
Me,
Ron, Neville,
Lavender,
Two Slytherin, Pansy and Drac, two Ravenclaw,
Padma and Terry. "Harry counted out a string of names in one breath.
"And five Hufflepuffs …"
For a moment, all the Hufflepuffs looked at Harry, afraid that they would be left out.
They would become the extra person.
But Harry remembered everyone's name. "Susan, Hannah,
Ernie,
Mike, and Nina. "
As Harry called out the names, the others looked at him.
The others also looked at the others. Strangely, it seemed that everyone could match his or her name, but after blinking twice, when they counted the number of people again, there would be one more person.
In the blink of an eye, Harry seemed to see a pair of blue eyes in the crowd. He knew that the extra person was still there and was laughing at him.
"How about this …" Padma suddenly said. Padma suddenly spoke up. "How about everyone say a few words to prove that they are real?"
"Sure, what do you want to say?" Terry quickly agreed.
"For example." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Padma broke out in a cold sweat. "I'm Padma Patil, and I have a twin sister named Parvati. You're Terry, my roommate. Last week, we had a fight over Andy Snyder."
Terry blushed, but everyone understood what Padma meant and nodded in agreement. Then, one by one, they began to prove themselves. Of course, in the process, they inevitably revealed some small secrets.
For example, when Pansy wanted to prove himself, he could only look for Drac. He said, "You've been spending half an hour every day fixing your hair since you were eight years old …"
There were also some who found it difficult to prove themselves, such as Nina from Hufflepuff.
The shy girl blushed. "I told you, my name is Nina Gladys. Although I don't have a roommate or a good friend here, I know that Cedric and Qiu Zhang are a couple!"
Everyone: "Wow …"
When it was Ron's turn, the freckled boy reported his family tree and pointed at Neville. "I'm sorry, Neville. I didn't lose the cake you brought back yesterday. I ate it secretly." He then pointed at Harry and raised his eyebrows. "Stupid Barnabas?"
The corners of Harry's mouth curled up. Behind the Barnabas Tapestry on the eighth floor, there was an 'Ask for Anything' room. This was a secret between him, Ron and Hermione, so he replied, "The Hexagon Library." Ron also confirmed Harry's identity, but this was not enough for the others, so Harry continued, "Drac, the first time we met was at Madam Morkin's robe shop. Neville, the biscuits you brought back the day before yesterday were not eaten by Ron, but by me. Pansy has lost five pounds this month. Sorry, I saw your diet diary … "
When Pansy pointed his wand at Harry, he also proved his identity.
So, they still could not find the extra person.
That's the only way … Harry wiped the rain off his face and said, "I have another idea, but in order to avoid being known, I can't say it now."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, indicating that Harry should continue.
"Okay …" Harry did not say much and went straight to the point. "Ron, Neville, stand back to back and cross the bridge."
"Cross the bridge?" Ron did not understand.
Neville did not dare. "Harry … Just the two of us?"
"Just the two of you." Harry did not smile, which was rare. "We don't have much time. Hurry up."
Neville was still hesitating. Ron pulled him, and then the two of them walked across the curved bridge together. Harry continued, "Padma and Terry, Hannah and Susan, Lavender and Nina, Ernie and Mike, Drac, you and Pansy …"
Drac did not move, and Pansy pulled him. "Drac?" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the bridge, Pansy was a little scared.
Young Malfoy glanced at Harry, and then walked across the bridge with Pansy.
Although it was funny to walk across the bridge, no one wanted to laugh. Everyone quickly went to the other side of the bridge and looked at Harry, who was alone.
Harry waited until Slytherin's team had passed before he stood up and walked to the end of the bridge.
Everyone stared at him, wondering what the savior was thinking. Neville was even more worried. "Harry is going to be alone again." Drac not far away said coldly, "He's not alone."
What did she mean? Everyone was shocked, and at the same time, some of them had already thought of something.
Harry had already started to cross the bridge, and he seemed to be talking to himself. "Well, now it's just the two of us, right?"
The lake water was disturbed by the raindrops, and Harry's shadow was reflected. At first, it was only a person, but after turning a corner, a head suddenly appeared behind the boy. Harry did not dare to turn his head, but the pair of bright yellow eyes were still in his sight, and the scary smile that stretched to the back of the head.
The people on the other side of the bridge also saw the "person" behind Harry through the hazy rain. Ron was the first to take out his wand and rush forward, but Drac pulled him back. "Stop right there!"
"Harry …"
"Potter may have his own ideas. Don't be rash!" Drac kicked Ron back to Neville's side, and then she clenched her wand and stared at Harry.
Neville supported Ron, who was still unwilling to give up, and said, "Yeah, Ron, Harry is very smart. He was also trapped in the tunnel …"
"And then he got hurt." Ron glared at Neville, but he did not rush forward again.
Harry walked very slowly on the bridge, and he was still talking to himself. "I've been thinking, when was there another person? Was it when we came out of the lake, or on the bridge, or — when it was raining? "The thing behind him laughed softly, and its voice was sharp.
Harry smiled and said, "It was when it was raining, right? When it's raining, it's easy to see things, and my mind is not clear. Then you can take advantage of it … I should have thought of it. After all, "Harry stopped and kept smiling," this rain is mine. "
Yes, this rain was his. The dream he set up was a rain, but he did not expect the professors to combine it with Qiu Zhang's dream. His rain would make people lose their sense of direction, and they would not know what was under Qiu Zhang's bridge.
Harry suddenly bent down, and his action was so sudden that the people on the other side of the bridge almost thought that Harry was going to fall off the curved bridge. But he did not. Harry just took out his wand and pointed it at the thing under the bridge. The thing looked like a baby, but no one had ever seen such an ugly baby. Its skin was gray and wrinkled, and its body was only a few centimeters long, but it had a huge head. Its wrinkled face had no facial features, and only a pair of green and yellow eyes were frighteningly bright.
Facing Harry's wand, the thing seemed to be shocked. It let out a sharp scream from its throat, and then quickly changed its ugly face to Harry's. It even laughed and said, "Hey …"
"Hey your grandma's leg!" Harry mercilessly pointed his wand at it and shouted, "Split into pieces!"
The people on the other side of the bridge only heard a terrible scream, and then the splash of the thing falling into the water.
The water splashed on Harry's face. The child lifted his dry shirt to wipe his face, and then looked up — the rain had stopped.
"Can I go over?" Ron looked at Drac. Young Master Platinum was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Ron rushed over and gave Harry a bear hug — almost knocking Harry off the bridge.
"Merlin! Harry, are you okay? What the hell is that? How did you catch it? "Ron grabbed Harry and shook him.
Harry managed to answer in his dizziness, "I'm fine. I don't know. I didn't catch it. "
Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Harry spread his hands and said, "I just scared it away."
However, everyone still heaved a sigh of relief. Derek asked, "Did you just use a Disintegration Curse?" This was not an incantation that a first-year student should know.
Harry raised his baby wand and smiled as innocently as a baby. "No, I just chanted a Split Spell."
Drac paused for a moment — indeed, no one saw the light of the spell just now.
That was to say, the unknown terrible thing was just scared away by Harry's spell.
Everyone: o (? □?) o
Ron hugged Harry hard and said, "Bro, you're still the best!"
The rain had completely stopped, and everyone crossed the bridge in fear. They counted the number of people again, and after making sure that there were not many, they walked to the vine wall. This time, "Alajo Opening" worked, and everyone went through the vines one by one.
Drac opened the map and looked again. There were no black squares in front of them. She looked at the time again — there were twenty minutes left.
"Are you ready?" Drac looked back at everyone. "We're going to run."
Everyone nodded together. Ron pulled Harry, but Harry gave him a gesture that said it was okay.
"Okay, then — follow me!" Drac confirmed the route again and took the lead to run forward.
Outside the maze, Jason, Billy, and the others were looking at the situation of the eight groups of students on the huge screen that Kamia created with magic.
Billy wrinkled his nose. "What a disgusting snail."
Kamia sat at the side and ate snacks. She explained, "That's not a snail, that's a Corythian Slime Worm. Okay, it does look like a snail, but it has a lot of mucus and will explode if you push it too hard, so it's a magical creature that's forbidden to be raised privately. I don't know why Rolf used it to build a dream."
"Newt Scamman," Quirrell interrupted. "I remember that Newt Scamman is a very famous magical biologist. I don't know how Rolf is related to him. According to his age, he should be a grandson. "
Jason, on the other hand, was very interested in the rain. "What's going on here?"
"That rain is Harry's. His setting is that everyone will hallucinate in a rainstorm and then get lost. Qiu Zhang's setting is that when you walk across a bridge, you will be called by the monster under the bridge. If anyone responds, they will be pulled off the bridge." Kamia looked at the pudding in her hand and suddenly felt a little disgusted. "But to prevent cheating, we can't directly use their material."
"So the snow monster in Malfoy's dream became Hulk?" Baines felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the big guy. "Then whose dream is this?" He pointed to one of the eight screens. In it, a dozen students were running wildly in a desert, but strange animals were chasing them while spitting saliva.
Kamia looked up and said, "I did that. They have to cross a desert and jump into a well to enter the next level. But there's a group of alpacas in the Mary Desert. They must have angered the animals with their bad attitude."
"Then what should they do now?" Baines looked at the group of spitting animals and was a little frightened.
"Just sing the alpacas song to appease them."
