"Oh, look, the two ladies found the wand first, which may be related to their wands being distinctive enough - I saw the pattern, yes, that's right, I hope they will find the watch on their wrist as soon as possible..."

There was an exclamation from the audience. When Collins woke up, she was not disturbed by the ball fish or a crab. She immediately locked onto the fir wand in front of her that was the same height as her - her hand brushed across its surface, and the tip of the wand sprayed one or two sparks. Collins took a deep breath.

"Harry's progress is much slower. He hasn't found the wand yet." Seamus said anxiously.

"Anyone who wakes up and sees a monster fish that can eat him for the first time will be dumbfounded." Dean said, he suddenly laughed, "Look at the expression on his face, he found it!"

...

Harry raised his arm and stared at the extra watch on his wrist. He guessed that it should be the professors who wore it when they fell asleep. There was no time on the dial, but a dull and dull gold.

Although it was a serious time, he couldn't help but imagine a picture in his mind: Professor Heppe was walking in the Black Lake, carrying a basket in his hand, looking around with interest. Then he walked to a sandy area, picked from the basket, put the half-foot-tall Harry (his head tilted to one side, unconscious) on the ground, and stuck his wand into the soil. Then the professor waved his hand gently, and a protective shield appeared...

Harry shook his head and threw away his unrealistic fantasy. At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged in his heart, telling him that there were various "tests" distributed in the Black Lake. The purple level required him to fight, and after winning, he would gain the ability to survive in the Black Lake. The blue level required him to think, and after success, he would gain various useful information.

As for the gold, it actually represents a gem that can break the "curse" on him, get rid of his current height (Harry began to wonder what would happen if he collected a few more pieces), and grow. And only when he is completely restored to his original state can he activate the function of the watch and see the other two companions in the same group.

Harry combined the clues provided by the golden egg and suddenly realized that all the vague information before became clear.

"Hurry up, crisis is everywhere; weigh carefully, choices are inevitable." Harry repeated softly. Only these two sentences did not point to any specific information, but were a broad advice. Hermione had been struggling with it repeatedly.

She thought they had to solve some kind of puzzle or make a choice that suited them. "Maybe everyone faces different problems." She said worriedly, and Ron guessed that it was similar to the huge wizard chess level they had passed in the first grade. "Maybe one or two people will need to be sacrificed at that time..." He said meaningfully.

Now it seems that Hermione's guess is closer to the truth, Harry thought.

When time is limited, using time to find the golden gem is undoubtedly the most valuable, because it directly determines whether you can finally pass the level, and the other two are the means to ensure that the warriors survive in the dangerous Black Lake, especially at the beginning of the game, they are all very weak.

Harry already knew that the protective shield in front of him could only last for an hour, so he had to hurry up.

He racked his brains, wand, wand... He stared at the wand that was half a head taller than him irritably. How could he move with this thing?

Harry moved closer, glad that he didn't wake up in the cold lake water. He placed his palm on the wand, and a feeling of unity surged in his heart. "Fortunately, you still know me." Harry thought excitedly, "I hope everything will go smoothly next."

He took a deep breath and ignored the colorful ball fish that kept hitting the protective cover, although its attack frequency had obviously decreased. Harry tried to mobilize the magic in his body.

He felt that his magic was sluggish to the extreme, and there was a force that kept affecting him. He knew that it was the "curse" in the prompt. Harry muttered: "What curse... I guess it's the influence of the professor's magic."

He adjusted his state. After learning the brain block surgery, other effects were not seen for the time being, but at least-if he wanted to stay calm, it would be a very easy thing.

"Armor protection." He whispered the spell, and the tip of the huge holly wood wand flashed a faint light, jumped twice and disappeared.

Harry was barely affected, and started his second attempt, "Armor Protection - Oh, no - Armor Protection - Armor Protection - Armor Protection -" After more than a dozen attempts, he finally succeeded, and a transparent magic barrier appeared in front of him.

"Next, I need to transform it." Harry said to himself, and under his control, the Armor Charm was attached to his body. He seemed to have hit an invisible wall head-on, with his nose and eyes pressed tightly against it, even squashing his nose.

The projection screen on the shore faithfully recorded this scene -

Ludo Bagman said in an awkward voice: "Our youngest warrior successfully used the Shield Charm, which is quite an achievement - although I'm not quite sure why he put his face on it... But he is the third warrior who has successfully communicated with his wand. According to our security officer, warriors in this state can only barely use the spells they are best at."

"Look! The warriors from Ulgadu have taken the lead in this competition. Their gestures are quite wonderful! Is it some kind of animal transformation? I'm not sure - they don't look much different, except for two more gills on their cheeks... Oh, my God, what did I see? Two Ulgadu warriors gave up their wands directly, is this a violation? Please ask the other judges to discuss - another Ulgadu warrior is carrying his own wand, and this weight is nothing to him. They have begun searching the Black Lake and are the fastest group, and Potter is still fiddling with his deformed Shield Charm. Is he planning to suffocate himself?"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience. Harry's performance was obviously more entertaining, or entertaining. After watching for a while, they almost understood Harry's intention. "He seems to want to wrap himself with the Shield Charm." Bagman said belatedly.

"That's the Human Shield Charm, one of the advanced variations of the Shield Charm, but it seems that Potter is not as proficient in this magic as Granger." A member of the Magic Club in the audience said very knowledgeably, "She has walked out of the protective shield."

In the Black Lake, Hermione was panting. She didn't dare to move too far away from her wand, and with the protective shield, it was like having a coordinate and a safe house that could be located. She struggled to hold up the Human Shield Charm, and tried to explore around the protective shield. Finally, under a patch of black algae, she saw a blue light - hidden in the middle of a group of shells.

A strong sense of joy surged in her heart. She swam quickly in the black lake, shivering with cold - because of the "curse" on her body, she had a hard time using magic. The warming spell and waterproof and moisture-proof spell that she thought she had mastered were immediately unusable. She estimated that the situation would not improve until she got at least one or two golden gems.

Hermione swam in the deep lake, her fluffy hair dragging behind her head. From time to time, she had to look back at the dim light in the distance. That was the location of the protective cover, where her wand was hidden. If she got lost, she would be helpless. She didn't want to become a hostage waiting to be rescued.

As they got closer, the algae looked like black ribbons, stretched out by the current, each one three or four feet long, like a huge underwater jungle. Hermione hid behind a pebble and peered out. Then she was delighted to see a small blue house that looked like a conch. Not far from it, in the open space, a golden gem lay quietly.

"So lucky!" Hermione thought happily. At this time, a black shadow approached silently, and Hermione was knocked out and smashed on the sand. Fortunately, she was protected by the Humanoid Armor Charm, and only suffered some of the aftermath of the impact. However,

Hermione blinked her eyes and looked at the black salmon that was shaking its tail and went away. It seemed to be attracted by the small blue conch-like house and tried to get closer, but it couldn't get in.

She worked hard to use her brain and quickly made up her mind. Hermione moved forward along the shadow of the rocks at the bottom of the lake. On the way, she picked up a piece of broken seaweed as a cover. She got closer and closer, and then watched the salmon rushing towards her.

Hermione barely dodged and rolled twice in the water. The human armor charm fulfilled its responsibility well, but she was not sure if the protective layer on her body would be torn if it was hit a few more times. The

black salmon swung its tail flexibly and rushed over again with great momentum. At this time, a layer of light white light condensed on Hermione's hand, and the magic rune symbols were looming.

She opened her eyes wide and tried to see the salmon's movements clearly. The white light on her hand became brighter. She muttered nervously: "I have an advantage over others. Even if I can't use ancient magic, I still master a lot of single magic runes, which are like simple magics..."

"Bang!"

The glowing fist hit the salmon's head hard, and the fish's belly immediately turned white and floated with the lake water - it was knocked unconscious by Hermione's wild bull power magic rune.

"Great." Hermione said excitedly. She had thought it would take more attempts before she could succeed.

She didn't look at the salmon rising and falling in the water. She swam quickly to the back of the blue conch-shaped house and stared at the golden gem. It was as big as her head. She touched it with the hand with the watch, and the dull golden dial lit up. Then the golden gem on the ground seemed to melt and merge into the watch. The dull golden dial also lit up a little.

"Huh? Is there another progress reminder? It's a bit like the coin Harry used when he practiced Apparition. Oh, it belongs to Valen now." Hermione thought happily, turned and walked into the blue house to face the test.
