Chapter 22 Which Bastard Locked the Door?
Harry's position happened to be at the very back of the crowd. Faced with the sudden attack of the huge mouth of the abyss, Harry was a little confused for a moment.
The foul breath sprayed on his face, making Harry almost nauseous. Just as the despair spread throughout his body, Ivan's voice suddenly sounded in Harry's ears.
"There are many obstacles!"
Invisible barriers blocked the three-headed dog's ferocious head in mid-air, but the next second, the barrier maintained and constructed by Ivan with magic power was torn to pieces by another big mouth with fangs!
Fortunately, in just one second, Harry had reacted in time and barely escaped.
After Ron yelled to run, he rushed to the door and pulled hard with both hands, only to find that the door was locked.
"Which bastard locked the door?" Ron said desperately.
Ivan, who used the coma spell and the petrification spell to temporarily restrain the three-headed dog, couldn't help but roll his eyes. Didn't you lock the door yourself?
Ron panicked, even suspecting that he might die here, while Hermione pushed him away and put her wand on the door lock.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
Hermione cast an opening spell and violently broke the door lock. A group of five people escaped as quickly as possible, and then closed the door in time before the three-headed dog Luwei came out.
Bang bang bang!
After getting far away, hearing the faint sound of banging the door and roaring in the distance, the few people who escaped from death breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ivan who was inexplicably involved.
When he was restraining the three-headed dog Lu Wei, Ivan discovered that his magic level was too low and had limited effect. The coma spell would only affect the three-headed dog's movements at most, and would not bring down the fallen dog at all.
If Hermione had opened the door a little later, he might have had to take lunch. After all, in such a small space, there was no place to escape.
This also made Ivan deeply understand his own weakness. It might be easy for him to deal with a first-year wizard like Malfoy, but he didn't even have the ability to struggle in the face of real danger.
"That monster won't hit the door and run out, right?" Ron glanced at the door behind him that hadn't closed yet, and then complained again.
"No, this door should be special, otherwise it would have been broken long ago." Ivan explained.
"How could Professor Dumbledore keep such a monster in the castle?" Harry was also a little shocked. He never thought that he would encounter such a terrifying thing in Hogwarts and almost be eaten by it!
Hermione reminded angrily.
"I think you should remember that when we first entered school, Dumbledore told us that we shouldn't come here. If we hadn't violated school rules and came out in the middle of the night today, we wouldn't have crashed into this place in a hurry!"
Perhaps because she had just escaped death, Hermione's tone was much sharper than usual.
Harry and Ron knew as soon as they heard that Hermione was going to start another tirade, and Neville almost cried.
Who would have imagined that after Hermione vented her anger, she had no intention of filing a complaint. Instead, she revealed that she had seen a trapdoor under the three-headed dog and that she suspected that the three-headed dog was guarding something. speculation.
But before leaving, Hermione still warned Harry and others that no matter what was under there, it had nothing to do with them. This should be something Professor Dumbledore should consider!
Hermione's attitude made Harry and others a little unpredictable, but fortunately, Hermione would probably not tell Professor McGonagall that they violated school rules tonight.
"I didn't expect Malfoy to be so sinister. He must have told Filch what happened in the trophy room!" Ron, who returned to the dormitory, was still a little angry and threatened to beat Malfoy tomorrow. .
"Ivan, if I had known we should have listened to you." Harry said a little embarrassed, after all, Ivan had already mentioned this possibility to them in the afternoon.
"Forget it." Ivan waved his hand, saying that he didn't care. After all, he didn't expect Harry and Ron to resist the temptation and stay in the dormitory. This time they bumped into each other halfway, it was just his bad luck. .
"By the way, Ivan, why were you in the corridor just now?" Harry asked curiously.
"I'm not here to find you." Ivan said casually. He couldn't say that he sneaked into the forbidden book area to read in the middle of the night, right?
Harry and the others suddenly felt even more ashamed, but this emotion didn't last for a few minutes before several people put it aside and turned to discussing the trap door guarded by the three-headed dog, guessing what was hidden inside. Finally, Harry told about how he and Hagrid took out a package from Gringotts before school started.
Ivan was not involved. The newly activated challenge mission was enough to give him a headache. He had no interest in intervening in Dumbledore's plan.
The only good thing is that there is still some time before Halloween when the trolls appear, so he still has some time to prepare.
In the next week or two, Ivan worked hard to improve his strength, and spent the rest of the time frantically searching for books about trolls in the library.
"Detailed Explanation of Common Magical Creatures" "Guide to Taming Dangerous Monsters" "On the Possibility of Hybridization between Giants and Trolls"
Even the book "Walking with Trolls" was turned out by Ivan.
Yes, the author of this book is Gilderoy Lockhart, who will replace Kino in teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class next semester.
Although Ivan knows that Lockhart is a liar who can only forget the spell, this does not hinder the authenticity and professionalism of the content of this book, which is why he can find it in the library of Hogwarts.
To be honest, after seeing Lockhart's iconic smile with white teeth on the cover, Ivan didn't want to open it.
But who makes the contents of the previous books unreliable? "Details of Common Magical Creatures" only mentions that trolls have no medicinal value, and no part of them from the brain to the torso is delicious after being put into the pot.
The description of trolls in "A Guide to Taming Dangerous Monsters" is that wizards can usually use more powerful forces to make them submit.
Isn’t this nonsense?
If he had the strength to defeat the giant monster, why would he be here reading books?
The book "On the Possibility of Hybridization between Giants and Trolls" even used an academic approach with pictures and texts that made Ivan's eyes irritate.
On the contrary, "Walking with Trolls" uses a biography to describe the habits and weaknesses of the trolls in detail.
For example, trolls usually have low IQs and eat a lot of food. Therefore, if you want to deal with them, placing bait is a more correct choice. There is a high probability that the troll will eat the bait.
In addition, the giant monster's small bean-like head coupled with its huge body makes the overall stability weak. If you use a powerful magic spell to hit the giant monster's legs, it may be able to destroy the balance and knock the giant monster down, leaving you How many more steps can you run before being eaten?
Finally, the troll's head itself is also a weak point. It is much more fragile than other parts of the body. If it is hit by gravity, it is likely to be knocked unconscious directly.
