Harry walked in a passage about ten feet wide, with mottled walls on the left and right sides and ceiling height.
It was even darker here than before. The only sliver of light was just enough for people to see his fingers clearly. Because he hit the wall when turning, Harry remembered that he was still there. You can use a wand to create some light.
The surroundings are so quiet that one can hear one's own heartbeat. In the dark and endless corridor, a group of crystal white mist floats from time to time, which looks a bit like the fluorescence emitted by a ghost.
This maze is like a magical relic buried deep underground for thousands of years. The water stains seeping from the walls nourish the green moss growing in large areas in the corners, and also make the dark brown floor tiles extremely slippery. To avoid falling, Harry turned sideways and moved completely one step at a time, looking funny like a crab.
The road behind him quickly disappeared into the darkness, and the road ahead was still confusing. Harry, who was pale, had to admit that this maze, which had the same atmosphere as a tomb, was the most maze he had ever seen in his life. A scary place
"Have Professor Braine ever explored this maze personally?"
The ethereal silence and panic made it difficult to understand the speed of time passing, and Harry felt that He has been wandering around this seemingly endless maze for an hour, but in fact, he may have only been in for less than two minutes.
"At least, we can't lose to Malfoy"
Harry pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the ever-boiling desire in his heart to turn around and continue on. Explore before.
The area covered by the fluorescent light emitted by the wand is a uniform scene, and it is this boring and boring scene that invisibly stimulates a person's imagination of fearful scenes to the extreme, Harry It's hard to imagine how Ron or Hermione would behave after entering this maze, and Neville would probably faint directly here
"Is it possible to say that this kind of ghost place, Professor Brain deceived everyone. He just wanted to scare everyone with this gloomy maze."
He gritted his teeth and walked forward for a while, but he still couldn't come across any breathing creature. This idea popped into Harry's mind, but thinking about Professor Blaine's behavior, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.
The surroundings became even more gloomy. Through the fluorescence of the wand, Harry could see that every breath he exhaled formed a condensed mist in the air. It felt like he had walked into a refrigerated store. Same as the room.
Tick-tock, tick-tock
The further they walked, the greater the humidity in the air, and Harry's hair was stained with countless fine water droplets.
Finally, a different scene appeared on the road ahead. Harry's heart was beating hard. The only thing that gave him a sense of security now was the wand in his hand and this cold and hard stone. of the wall.
"It turned out to be just a small river"
When Harry finally saw what was on the ground, his hanging heartOnly then did I finally let go.
In the not-so-wide corridor, a ten-foot-wide ditch stretched across the ground, completely blocking Harry's path forward.
Why did Professor Brain build a small channel here?
In the dim light, Harry stood on the embankment and carefully looked at the water, which was covered with dark green algae. , there was a big piece of rotten wood floating in the middle, and the river still smelled like a stinking ditch, and questions arose in my mind.
The origin was still hidden in the darkness. Harry had a hunch that Snape was standing out of sight, waiting to laugh at him. As long as he took a step back, he would jump out immediately. With that disgusting face, he sneered and announced that he had failed in the courage contest with Malfoy
Gryffindor, the symbol of courage, lost to the Slytherin house in the courage contest. , Harry felt that he would rather be drowned in the river in front of him than face such a terrible ending.
Huh
Harry let out a heavy breath and made up his mind, no matter what, he must not stop here
Ten feet is not an easy feat It was a long distance to jump over, but as the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts in the past century, it was not difficult for Harry, who was covered in sports bacteria. He focused his attention on the algae squeezed out in the middle of the ditch. On the rotten wood,
"Professor Brain got a piece of wood here to help us cross the river."
Harry thought so, and he took two steps back. He took a deep breath, then used all his strength to leap forward, stepped heavily on the wood in mid-air, and easily jumped over the canal.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the water, this place was colder than the tunnels he had explored before, and for some reason, Harry always felt that danger was quietly approaching. So, when he came to the other side of the canal, he didn't even look at his head. He returned and continued walking forward without stopping, and the figure quickly disappeared nearby.
Tick tock, tick tock
The water vapor in the air liquefied into water droplets when it met the wall with a temperature comparable to ice cubes, and fell into the center of the ditch drop by drop, disturbing the piece of water that was covered with water. The wood that was floating in the water was used as a pedal. Under the action of the water ripples, the wood floated to one side and soon touched the bank of the canal.
No one noticed that in the endless darkness, a hand as colored as pure white marble suddenly emerged from the water and was fastened to the solid ground
The environment in the maze It is not static. In addition to the winding and twisting corridors, there are also some small rooms with semicircular high domes. I don’t know what they are used for.
With the original After a quick look into the classroom and a vague recollection of the route and direction he walked, Harry judged that he had probably arrived at the center of the maze, which made him slightly happy, because at least judging from the speed of progress, he was faster than Malfoy was slightly better
Now, in front of him was a straight corridor. Harry raised his wand so that the fluorescence emitted from the tip of the wand could find further places, but thirty within feetEverything was nothing new, except that a few steps away, a large damaged hole appeared on the ceiling, and the inside of the hole was also dark.
"Where did Professor Brain discover such a place?"
Having reached this point, Harry was basically convinced that Professor Brain had probably restored a certain place he had visited. This complex and realistically detailed maze cannot be created by relying solely on imagination.
Thinking of this, Harry's mind came to Professor Blaine's young and handsome face, as well as the smile that always hung on his face that seemed not to be disturbed by any accidents. Professor En knew a little bit about Harry and suddenly realized that he seemed to have never seen his true face under the mysterious veil.
Compared with just now, Harry, who had gradually adapted to the darkness and silence, walked much more briskly.
He is more and more convinced that Professor Brain took all the trouble to get out of this gloomy maze just to test everyone's courage, what he said in the corridor before and the magic contract he took out It's just to make them nervous.
Think about it. So far, the heir of Slytherin has only petrified Filch’s cat, Colin and Justin, but that’s all. When it comes to Principal Dumbledore, The professors in every subject were extremely nervous. If Professor Blaine's scare words were followed, the little wizards might be injured or killed, and I'm afraid no one would be able to withstand such serious consequences.
After thinking about this, the depressing and lonely atmosphere around him became much more friendly. Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead and even had a smile on his lips,
"Cunning Professor Brain"
Harry muttered, but he had not forgotten that Professor Brain gave each group of people ten minutes to break through the level. If he did not leave the maze before then, , then he will be judged as a failure together with Malfoy. Even if his progress in exploring the maze is higher, there is nothing to be proud of.
Many thoughts flashed through Harry's mind, such as why there was no trace of Malfoy so far, for example, whether Snape would break the rules and secretly point out Malfoy. A more convenient way through the maze. Judging from his understanding of Snape, this was not impossible.
Thinking of this, Harry became a little impatient again. He rubbed his sore right shoulder and prepared to speed up and leave here as soon as possible. But the moment before Harry took a step forward, there suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. The sharp roar filled with fear made Harry's face turn pale again.
