An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"The game is getting more and more exciting. The winner is still unknown. Let me make a summary."

"Harry's team is still in the lead. The three of them quickly joined together to give them an absolute advantage. Whether it was Boggart, Devil's Ivy, or Upside-Down Trap, they easily broke through them and have just entered the fifth level of the maze."

"The three warriors of the second team also came to the fourth level, but they haven't joined together yet. One of the warriors just came in and it is estimated that they will not meet until the fifth level. Some viewers may wonder why the warriors don't use the amplification spell, because the hedge is cast with magic, which will greatly weaken the sound and light... Potter's magic is a special case."

"The warriors of Uagadu have made the most of their advantages. Let us remember the name Lashawn Elifendi. He demonstrated the most violent power of the African grasslands in the first two projects, but this time he used practical actions to tell us that he has extremely delicate control over his transformation! As the third team to enter, Elifendi used the vibration of the elephant to find people and successfully met up in the first level of the maze. After that, Brandziego turned into a green eagle and quickly found the entrances to the second and third levels. His teammates once again used the vibration to locate and went straight to the entrance. Their efficiency was amazing and they once again approached Potter and his team. However, the warriors of Uagadu suffered a bit on the fourth level. The green eagle was entangled by the thorn wall. Now they have changed to let Nona Lebert explore the way. This girl is also very fast. They are the only team that has the hope of surpassing Potter's progress."

"Next is Beauxbatons. They are on the third level and are close to the fourth level. They may meet at the entrance;"

"Drmstrang's strategy is obviously different. Krum has been on the fourth floor for a while, but his two teammates are on the third floor. It seems that they have a plan. That's right! Adim Bwek stopped at the entrance to the third floor. He wanted to wait for another person. I see! Their intention is to let the strongest person keep rushing forward, and the two weaker ones go together. Smart move! You know, the third floor maze is not dangerous, and the area is one-third smaller than the first floor..."

"The last one is Ilvermorny. They only arrived at the second floor. After all, they entered half an hour late. No, they adopted the same strategy as Durmstrang! It's just that they chose three people to go together. Although they wasted time in the beginning, judging from the combined magic shown in the first two projects, they will be very fast next time."

The audience stared at the screen nervously, holding various small flags in their hands, and even the judges in the judges' seats were watching intently.

"Will they meet? Will they?" Mrs. Granger covered her face, scratching her nails.

"I think they will... fighting is inevitable." Sirius muttered aside.

…

"The fifth floor is too dark," Ron whispered. There were still blue candles on the first three floors, but the intervals were getting longer and longer. By the fourth floor, they could only barely distinguish the color of the hedge in the darkness, and now there was no light at all.

He and Harry raised their wands, ready to respond to any sudden danger. Hermione was slightly behind, controlling a ball of white flame, which covered their heads and illuminated a small area nearby. They kept pulling their legs out of the vine-covered ground and trudged for ten minutes before crossing this long corridor.

"I don't believe there are more outrageous things ahead," Ron said.

"Don't be a pessimist."

They turned a corner and suddenly the world spun around. Harry found himself upside down, standing on the ceiling. Blood kept rushing to his head. He had a similar experience. On the second floor of the maze, he accidentally entered a golden mist that hung him upside down, with endless void below his head. That trap was a test of the warrior's courage. He only needed to firmly pull his legs out...

He tried it and raised one leg high, but there was no reaction at all. He was still standing on the ceiling. He even almost fell down because of his unstable footing, but he didn't fall down, but fell on the ceiling. The blood hit his eardrum, making him unable to think. At this time, he heard Hermione next to him say, "I think we need to get out this way."

Harry was about to ask how to get out, but he saw Hermione moving forward step by step. She walked for nearly a minute and fell from the ceiling.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" She landed gently in mid-air and looked at Harry and Ron. "Just treat the ceiling as flat ground and keep walking forward. Of course, you need to endure the discomfort of blood rushing up."

Soon, Harry and Ron also escaped successfully.

"It's strange, gravity still exists, but we are attracted to the ceiling by a stronger force..." Hermione looked back reluctantly.

"What is gravity?" Ron asked.

"It's the force that allows us to stand firmly on the ground." Hermione said simply.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Ron was very puzzled.

"Keep your voice down, don't attract monsters." Harry warned them.

In the next ten minutes, they went through the quicksand trap. Ron remembered the levitation spell Hermione had used before and passed it easily. Then they encountered a single-plank bridge. There was no water under the bridge, but a bottomless abyss. The levitation spell was ineffective. Harry walked across without much effort. "This is much easier than Quidditch."

Ron was a little slower, but he passed it smoothly. When it was Hermione's turn, she got stuck. "I, oh, I'll try..." She looked down tremblingly and quickly retracted.

Harry and Ron looked at each other. It seemed that Hermione rarely used the flying broom.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all."

"Yes, you took flying lessons and passed the test!"

"I only got a passing grade," Hermione whispered, "Wait, let me think about it." She thought of a way, and used magic to conjure a rope, threw one end of the rope to Harry and Ron, and tied the other end to herself, "If I fall... you must hold me." She

walked tremblingly onto the wooden bridge, the twenty-foot distance was like a chasm. When she reached the last step, she mustered up her courage and jumped to the other side.

"Great, Hermione!"

"Oh, I'm a little dizzy..." Hermione said, covering her head, "Let's keep going forward."

"Whoosh!"

A shadow borrowed twice from the wall and quickly jumped over the wooden bridge. After a few ups and downs, it disappeared into the darkness.

"What was that just now?" Ron asked in horror. If it suddenly attacked, they would probably find it difficult to avoid it.

"A cheetah." Harry said.

"The person who gave you the amulet?" Ron remembered, "It was the one who called, called..." He looked at Hermione for help.

"It's Nona Labbert!" said Hermione, "It seems that she chose to leave her teammates and adventure alone. She is too fast, we have to hurry!"

They trotted away, and after encountering two dead ends, they came onto a narrow and rugged road. A huge monster blocked the center of the road.

"It's the Sphinx." Hermione whispered.

They walked forward with courage, and the white flames illuminated its body. She lowered her beautiful head and seemed to be lost in thought. Hearing the movement, it raised its head, took two steps forward, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"You are very close to the stairs to the next level. The fastest way is to go through me. As long as you..."

"What season is the shortest?" Hermione interrupted it and asked.

The Sphinx blinked its beautiful eyes, and then Hermione continued to ask: "What is obviously yours, but everyone can use it?"

"Hmm"

"There are always false news in the newspapers, but what must be true?"

The Sphinx fell into deep thought again.

Hermione waved to them and walked past carefully. The Sphinx ignored her. Harry and Ron also came over smoothly. They didn't dare to breathe, and walked a long distance. When they saw the stairs leading to the sixth level of the maze, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hermione, how did you know?" Harry said breathlessly.

"Hagrid told us, have you forgotten? As long as you answer three riddles first, it will be confused. I didn't believe it before..."

Outside the maze castle.

"Someone caught up with Potter and his team. It was the warriors of Vagado. However, Potter and his team entered the sixth maze first, but this doesn't mean anything. Nona Labbert is too fast. She is covered with many protective spells, which were cast on her by her teammates."

"Nona took a long detour and the sixth floor is just around the corner! Maybe she can get to the seventh floor first, and then Potter and his team will be passive." Bagman shouted loudly, "Other warriors have also joined their teammates one after another, and most of them have gathered on the fourth floor. Potter and his team's early advantages are shrinking rapidly. Who will win the championship? Let's wait and see!"

...

The seventh-level maze is only half the size of the school auditorium. It is empty all around, and there is a stone in the center of the maze. A trophy is placed on the stone.

Felix sat on the stone and whispered, "The trophy is indeed cursed. He did not tamper with the original destination, but added a transit point in the middle... It's a very clever method. You can't find it at all if you don't look carefully."

"Yes, professor." A muffled voice came from the hat on his head.
