Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"Harry, Harry?"

"Wake up, are you alright?"

With Hermione's intervention, Harry Potter, covered in sweat, finally woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he began to breathe heavily, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Harry now looks like someone who has just escaped from deep water.

"Phew, Hermione, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."

Harry Potter fumbled for his glasses on the bedside table, put them on, and asked.

"When did you come?"

Hermione pushed Ron's feet away from behind and sat on the edge of the bed:
"Just arrived, how about you?"

Harry took a deep breath and felt much better, then sat up.

"I arrived last night."

Hermione nodded, placed the candle on the bedside table, and slapped Ron across the face, who was snoring.

"Wake up, Ron, wake up!"

Compared to Harry, Ron's wake-up service wasn't as gentle.

Even so, perhaps because he was too thick-skinned, Ron didn't feel anything.

Ron, whose hair was half-grown, squinted and opened his eyes.

"Oh, Hermione, it's not dawn yet, please let me sleep a little longer."

After saying that, Ron suddenly opened his eyes wide and remembered something.

She quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed to cover her exposed nipples.

She even became shy.

Hermione rolled her eyes knowingly at the sight of this slightly disgusting scene.

"Alright, you two, wake up and get up!"

"If you don't want to leave on an empty stomach, then come down and eat!"

Ron propped himself up and, as if remembering something, called out to Hermione, who had already walked out the door:

"Oh, Hermione, tell my mother to make an extra one."

Hermione, without turning her head, said, "Ron, don't tell me you have a much better appetite today?"

The answer to this question came not from Harry and Ron, but from a fourth voice in the attic room.

"It's not Ron, it's my breakfast. Oh, and good morning, Hermione. No, I should say it's been a long time!"

A small figure stretching and yawning lifted the covers.

A pink baby dressed in a black suit appeared next to Harry and Ron.

And then I heard that sentence.

Hermione, who had already gone down the stairs, turned around and went back into her room.

He also closed the door behind him.

Seeing Hermione turn back, Ron, who had already thrown off the covers, quickly put on his clothes.

Then she realized that Hermione was staring wide-eyed at this figure that had suddenly appeared, or rather, shouldn't have appeared.

Are you an exchange student?

"That baby from three years ago? Cheng Xiao?"

Cheng Xiao straightened his suit, which had become wrinkled from sleeping, and then bowed politely and elegantly:
“Miss Granger, thank you so much for remembering my name.”

Cheng Xiao may appear carefree at this moment, but he has actually begun to give up.

Otherwise, he would never have slept with Ron and Harry.
-
Last night, Cheng Xiao was hit by a rocket and fell from the sky.

After hitting Harry Potter precisely, the two of them fell right in front of Ron.

Fortunately, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, otherwise Cheng Xiao would have had to treat Harry.

When Cheng Xiao got up and saw Harry and Ron, and because it was dark, he thought that this was still Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But soon, the oblivious one saw Ron and Harry both shout in surprise.

It was as if I had witnessed something incredible.

It was at this moment that Cheng Xiao realized something was wrong.

That is, both main characters seem to have grown up a bit.

And most importantly.

A person came out from behind Ron after hearing the noise outside the door.

It was Ginny, the youngest of the Weasleys, who was wearing Hogwarts robes and looking at Cheng Xiao with a mixture of confusion and surprise.

Even if Cheng Xiao was slow-witted, he finally realized what was happening.

Although the facts before our eyes are somewhat outrageous, like a dream.

However, Cheng Xiao still managed to ask a question with difficulty.

That is, what year and month it is now.

When Ginny handed over the magic newspaper.

Cheng Xiao looked at the date on the screen, along with the report that the Irish national team had advanced to the Quidditch final.

I feel really unwell.

Cheng Xiao, who served as the healer and support for the Zhongzhou team, completely lost all his strength and simply gave up and lay flat on the ground.

And so, Cheng Xiao, who was forced to travel to three years in the future, was picked up by Harry and Ron.

In the attic, Hermione sat down again, her face serious, and said:
"So, it really is you?"

what happened?

When Harry fell into a coma in the basement, all of you exchange students disappeared at the same time.

"Later we asked Professor McGonagall, and she said that your exchange period had ended, so you returned to your respective colleges."

"Is it really?"

Cheng Xiao sat cross-legged opposite the trio of main characters and nodded.

"Well, maybe, probably, perhaps, that's how it is, we..."

Before Cheng Xiao could finish speaking, Harry excitedly pressed on, asking:
Whose sword is that?

"You should know, right? Who saved me from the basement?"

"And who wants to kill me?"

"At that time, I was certain that there were other people in the basement besides Voldemort. Someone wanted to kill me, and someone else saved me?"

Do you know who Cheng Xiao is?

Harry Potter's words completely baffled Cheng Xiao.

It was at this moment that Cheng Xiao thought of something.

If I really did use some gadget from Kanna Hashimoto to travel to three years in the future.

Does that mean that Zheng Zha and Li Xiao are now a thing of the past?

But what did Harry mean by that?
basement?
Oh, it's the location from the ending of the first movie.

But what kind of sword?

Li Xiao's flying sword?
Or is it Zhao Yingkong's Soul-Slaying Blade?

Besides Voldemort, who else wanted to kill Harry Potter?

Is it another team? Or is it that madman Zhao Zhuikong from the East America team?
Hmm, if that's the case, it really could be that madman. But why would he want to kill the protagonist?

However, it seems that it was unsuccessful, which should be considered good news.

From accepting reality to facing reality.

Then there's the information revealed by Harry.

It could be said that Cheng Xiao's brain had never been working so rapidly in his entire life.

Even at this moment, the brain is thinking too much.

A plume of white smoke, visible to the naked eye, eerily rose from above. The three people who saw smoke rising from the baby's head instinctively took a step back.

Ron waved his hand and realized it really was just water vapor.

Cheng Xiao promptly interrupted his thoughts.

He patted his overloaded head and said helplessly:
Can I say that I have no idea what you're talking about?

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something:
"By the way, if it were you now, you would understand what I'm saying."

Do you remember what day October 12, 1991 was?

Upon hearing Cheng Xiao's question, Harry and Hermione were both taken aback and then began to recall.

Only Ron didn't even think before blurting out:

“I know, it was the day Harry participated in his first Quidditch match. I thought he was just nervous, but it turns out he was actually suspecting Professor Snape of trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone.”

"Uh, why are you looking at me like that? Of course I have to remember such an important day for Harry."

Hermione's strange gaze lingered between Ron and Harry for a moment.

Harry then remembered and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, it's this day. What does Cheng Xiao have to do with it?"

Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, of course it's related."

After the match that day, Harry, you won because you caught the Golden Snitch.

Then Wood gave you and Saito each a piece of chocolate. Saito didn't finish his, so he gave me the rest.

"Want to try some? If Wood didn't lie to Saito, it probably tastes the same as the one you had back then."

"And this taste should be my testimony."

"chocolate?"

Harry asked in confusion, but still took the chocolate from Cheng Xiao and took a bite.

However, it was the peculiar spiciness in his mouth that instantly awakened Harry's buried memories.

Yes, he remembered; the chocolate was actually a prank by Wood.

Harry stood up in surprise:

"I remember Wood said that the magic chocolate's power would only last for seven days, after which it would just be a regular chocolate."

"But how could this chocolate be???"

As Harry finished speaking, he and Hermione exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding what was going on.

Only Ron scratched his head, looking confused. After all, before the holiday, he had rescued Buckbeak and Sirius Black.

Ron didn't participate.

Harry and Hermione used the Time-Turner to accomplish this incredible feat.

(The plot of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Part 3.)
Hermione immediately denied it:

"Impossible. The Time-Turner has been confiscated by Professor McGonagall, and you've come to the future, not the past."

"To the best of my knowledge, no time magic can achieve that."

Cheng Xiao looked at the three of them and gave a wry smile:
"Don't ask me such technical questions, I don't know what happened either."

But I'm sure it's not the time-travel converter you know; it must be some other kind of magic or tool.

"So my arrival here was a complete accident. Ron, do you remember when we met last night I asked you what year and month it was?"

"Actually, I'm a victim too!"

"Just a few hours ago, I was still at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991. I never imagined that just a few hours later, I would find myself three years in the future."

"And then it turned out like this!"

After speaking, Cheng Xiao's gaze fell on his wrist.

Because the countdown on the God's Watch has stopped.

But Cheng Xiao knew that when he returned to Hogwarts with Harry and the others according to the plot, the countdown would continue.

Once the timer reaches zero, Cheng Xiao will be able to return to the Main God Space.

This is also why Cheng Xiao stayed with Harry and Ron after giving up.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Cheng Xiao can survive.

Harry, who was in a state of shock, finally came to his senses.

Harry actually believed Cheng Xiao's words as soon as he tasted the chili.

Because this one-of-a-kind chocolate in my hand doesn't lie.

Harry had previously asked Wood about this.

The chocolate Wood gave them was actually an accidental product of a failed magic spell.

Even when Wood wanted to recreate it later, he was never able to.

Therefore, this unique chocolate is truly one of a kind.

One of the chili-flavored ones was in Harry's hands three years ago, and the other was in Saito's hands three years ago.

They stared at each other, wide-eyed and confused.

Hermione, however, realized something else:

"Wait, what do you mean by 'we should be able to understand'?"

"And weren't you here three years ago? How do you know about the Time Converter?"

"And you seem to know what Harry and I did using the Time-Turner?"

Upon hearing Hermione's words, Harry Potter's expression changed, and he followed up with a question:
"By the way, I was also wondering why I received that drop of blood the first Christmas, and why that drop of blood could restore Professor Lupin's sanity?"

"That drop of blood must be the one you gave me back then, right?"

"I didn't know what it meant when I received the crystal ball, but I knew when I saw Professor Lupin transform into a werewolf."

"So you knew all along, didn't you?"

"Cheng Xiao, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Cheng Xiao only realized this when he saw Harry and Hermione asking questions.

Although only a little over three years have passed.

However, with the passage of time and the accumulation of various unexpected events, the situation has changed.

Hermione, who was already intelligent, seemed to have gone even further, reacting so quickly.

Harry is not quite as good as him, but he's not far off.

As for Ron, well, Cheng Xiao can only say that he performed very consistently.

His bewilderment was almost palpable throughout.

Even so, after seeing Harry and Hermione on high alert.

This person also acted decisively, immediately drawing their wand.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

This person is quite speechless right now.

Of course, it's a feeling of being speechless about one's own intelligence.

Hermione discovered so many problems just because of a few words she uttered?
Cheng Xiao sat there dejectedly, thinking about his own intelligence, and then looked at Hermione across from him.

Harry and Ron, who were already on guard, secretly thought something was wrong.

But then Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up.

Because he thought of something very important.

(Wait a minute, there aren't any other main god teams in this timeline.)

Then you absolutely cannot ignore the initial rules.

Without Chu Xuan, Li Xiao, and the captain, he was all alone, and he could do whatever he wanted.

This is the fourth one! I remember Xiao Honglu saying that the fourth one, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," is the horror film with the most side stories in the entire series.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be countless side quests to come.

Furthermore, Voldemort hasn't fully resurrected in this book, Dumbledore isn't dead, and Lupin, Black, and Snape are all still alive. Oh, and Cedric too—these are all side stories.
There are countless reasons to give up, but without Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu, Cheng Xiao felt he should just focus on playing a support role. (End of Chapter)
