Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

in the corridor.

The sudden sound interrupted Harry and his two friends' heated discussion.

When they turned around, they saw the very person they had just been talking about, Professor Snape.

Snape, dressed as always in his large black robes, looked at the three of them with a serious expression:

"What are you three Gryffindors doing in the hallway on such a nice day?"

Harry swallowed hard.
"We...we just..."

Snape interrupted, "What I'm saying is that you need to be careful. Otherwise, people will think you're up to no good."

"Also, you guys were too loud just now!"

After saying that, Snape turned and left very decisively.

Harry could see clearly that Snape was gripping his wand in his sleeve with his right hand while he was talking to them.

They looked quite alert.

Harry even thought Snape was about to attack him.

So after Snape turned and left.

The three exchanged a glance and started running again.

What they didn't see was...

Snape was like a prophet.

After turning another corner, he drew his wand without hesitation.

"Flying sand and flying rocks!"

A sudden gust of wind appeared without making a sound.

A man and a woman who were hugging in a dead corner of the corridor were blown away.

Before the young man and woman had even landed, Snape's emotionless voice rang out:

"Judy Finch, Gryffindor House minus 10 points."

"Strong Obama, Hufflepuff College minus 10 points."

After saying that, Snape left without even glancing at the two of them.

Li Xiao, who was watching this scene from the lawn outside the castle, couldn't help but laugh and say something.

"Although I've seen him once before, isn't Snape's style a bit off?"

Zhao Yingkong, who was leaning against the side and flipping through a book, turned her gaze away and continued to look down at the book with a blank expression.

Li Xiao had no idea how the rest of the Zhongzhou team had been coping during this time.

However, he found himself enjoying it, which was quite unusual.

The person next to me seemed to have transformed into a cool and aloof literary girl after entering Hogwarts.

In those last twenty-odd days, if it weren't for the fact that this person would subconsciously rub their sharp, gleaming nails, it would have been a different story.

It's likely that everyone has forgotten about this person's abilities.

However, this kind of life was destined to end.

At this moment, the two people are sunbathing on the lush green lawn, occasionally glancing down at their books.

After a while, he looked around at the men and women who were pretending to study but constantly making small movements.

Everyone witnessed Professor Snape's actions.

This also meant that they had to keep their ulterior motives hidden.

Li Xiao leisurely lowered his head, glancing at the three students sitting around a hundred meters away, discussing the exam they had just taken.

It was Yue'er, Xin'er, and Luo Li, three diligent and studious students.

The other side.

After distancing themselves from Professor Snape.

Harry and his two friends hid in a corner.

"What's next?"

"Dean Dumbledore isn't here, and Professor McGonagall doesn't trust us."

"Professor Snape has been watching us the whole time."

"Yes, this is absolutely terrible."

After Hermione and Ron each finished speaking, they both turned to look at Harry.

Harry thought for a moment and said:
"We need to get through the wooden door to locate the magic stone, and the time is tonight!"

"Gather at the fireplace in the rest area one hour after lights out."

Time moved into the evening from the perspective of the three individuals.

After making sure all the other students were asleep.

Three furtive figures emerged from their respective dormitories and met up on the stairs.

Then he tiptoed down the stairs.

Before they could even descend the stairs, a dark figure the size of a fist blocked their way.

Ron could see clearly by the moonlight.

His expression was one of surprise.

"Laifu?"

"How will you be here?"

Harry and Hermione were both taken aback when they saw the toad at the bottom of the stairs.

"Laifu??"

The toad turned around and jumped onto the sofa next to the fireplace, where it was caught by two hands.

A person wearing pajamas stood up.

The twelve-year-old figure, dressed in pajamas, revealed her somewhat adorable belly.

Yet this very person deliberately kept their voice low.

"This is a question I should be asking you."

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, what are you three doing here?"

"You're going to sneak out again, aren't you?"

As they were talking, the mysterious figure emerged from behind the chair, carrying a toad.

It was none other than the toad's owner, their classmate.

He is also Neville Longbottom, whose mind is occasionally muddled.

Upon seeing this person, all three exclaimed in surprise, "Nawi?"

After saying that, he covered his mouth, almost shouting out loud.

There was nothing they could do; before they saw them, the three of them thought they were some kind of mysterious person.

It turned out to be the stupid, bottom-of-the-class Na'vi they had in mind.

This student was unsurprisingly ranked last among the freshmen.

They are also a key focus for teachers in various classes.

The three of them looked at each other.

Harry spoke first: "Neville, let us explain, we really need to go out, I..."

Neville interrupted:

"No, I won't let you out, otherwise your actions will bring trouble to Gryffindor again..."

"All petrified!"

As she spoke, Hermione swung her wand.

next moment.

Neville's body tensed up, and he fell backward stiffly.

Harry and Ron both looked at Hermione in surprise, at the woman who had attacked without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me? If he keeps shouting, none of the three of us will be able to get out."

After saying that, Hermione walked up to Neville and whispered:
"I'm so sorry, Neville. I'll apologize to you tomorrow. I'm really sorry."

Seeing Hermione's "ruthlessness," Ron swallowed hard.

"Sometimes, you can be really scary, you know!"

Upon hearing this, Hermione immediately glared at him.

Ron immediately hid behind Harry.

"Alright, let's go."

The three of them stepped over Neville and ran straight out.

Only Lucky remained, squatting next to Neville.

Just then, a figure emerged from the dark corner.

It is a venomous parasite that flows continuously, like oil.

Of course, there are also those he has parasitized.

It was just as this black figure was standing next to Neville that...

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Hopefully Captain Honda is just admiring the scenery."

"Instead of having other ideas."

The venom receded, revealing what was inside.

Honda looked down.

It was the toad named Laifu that spoke.

It also caught Honda's eye.

The toad's flesh and blood began to churn.

An organ made up of an eye and a mouth appeared on the toad's back.

It looks particularly disgusting and bizarre.

"Central Continent Team? Arctic Continent Team? Or Southern Flame Continent Team?"

Honda asked.

The mouth on the toad's back answered, "I'm more curious about the magical creature in your hand, the Spinosaurus, than that question."

"How about we make a deal?"

Honda frowned.

As the captain of the Japanese team, he originally planned to take advantage of the unfolding plot to do something to the petrified Neville.

He planned to keep it for later use in the Harry Potter world. But it seems he wasn't the only one with the same idea.

Or perhaps the other party was deliberately waiting?

With Hagrid around, the Spinosaurus affair is like the biggest megaphone in the entire wizarding world; it can't be kept secret at all.

but?

"trade?"

"Are you from the Arctic team?"

In other words, after the question was asked, the person who was eavesdropping couldn't hold back any longer.

"Gentlemen, I don't think you'd mind adding the two of us."

Gunnir and Neos pushed open the door to the Gryffindor dormitory and walked in through the same doorway through which Harry, the two of them, had just run out.

Honda was taken aback, then looked at the frog.

"So, you're from the Zhongzhou team?"

Seeing that his identity had been confirmed, the toad didn't mind, or perhaps he had already thought of it.

In a small common lounge.

Twenty days later, the four teams reunited in perfect unison.

All four spoke very directly and without any attempt to hide their true feelings.

Finally, in exchange for an item worth 1000 reward points, each team will borrow Thornback to fight the Fire Dragon for one day.

The entire transaction, from the initial meeting to the final decision, took only three minutes.

The once crowded fireplace was now empty again.

The deformed toad also returned to its original form and lay down next to the petrified Na'vi.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Everyone knew perfectly well that this wasn't their home turf.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Because the plot was progressing faster than they had anticipated.

----------

Three figures walked out of Gryffindor's common room.

He cautiously donned an invisibility cloak.

However, the main characters, doing this for the first time, were far less adept than they were three years later.

"Ron, watch your step, you're stepping on my foot!"

Hermione slapped him as soon as she finished speaking.

"Feel sorry!"

Ron behind him quickly slowed down, but the invisibility cloak was only so big.

The three were inevitably flustered on their first adventure.

This made the three of them live in constant fear throughout the journey.

"It's just ahead!"

Harry gave a careful reminder.

Ron was so nervous he was covered in sweat.

"Oh my god, we're almost there."

Slowly climbing the stairs, the three of them finally arrived at the restricted area on the third floor again.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

The keyhole on the door flashed with light and then clicked.

The three of them first carefully opened a crack, and after seeing that there was no reaction inside, they went in.

He immediately closed the door and peered into the room through the cloak.

"Furry, are you sleeping?"

"No, it's not just sleeping, it's snoring too!"

"Stinky Harry!"

"It tastes like George's feet that haven't been washed for seven days."

Hermione gagged upon hearing the description and smelling it.

"Shut up, Ron. Can you please stop using adjectives?"

As the two were talking, the furry ball turned one of its heads.

The breath exhaled from their nasal cavities was like a gust of wind, directly blowing open the cloaks on the three of them.

This left the three of them completely exposed in the room.

Without any cover, Hermione stared wide-eyed and said:

"Wait, are you two blind standing in front of me?"

"Can't you see this huge harp next to the window?"

Harry was taken aback: "Uh, so Snape has already been here?"
He used magic on the harp to play music and then made the furball sleep?

Ron nodded: "What I'm trying to say is that Maoqiu's bad breath is really bad."

"Next time I see Hagrid, I'll definitely tell him to brush the furball's teeth."

Seeing the two of them change the subject again, Hermione got so angry that she hit each of them.

"Quick, let's go in while he's sleeping!"

Harry covered the back of his head with one hand, and the three of them held hands and tiptoed around it.

But after opening the wooden door behind the furball, the three of them were dumbfounded.

Because behind the door was a solid wall.

"Is this the same magic wall as the back door of the Battle Axe Bar?"

Harry touched it and asked Ron and Hermione.

Ron shook his head, giving me a look that said, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Hermione tapped it with her wand and confirmed, "No, this isn't a passage; it's just an ordinary wall."

"I think the entrance isn't here. This is just a decoy. The real door must be hidden somewhere else!"

After Hermione finished speaking, the three of them began their search.

There were only three walls, and after tapping them all, we found nothing.

Finally, Ron noticed something: "Oh, look at this!"

"Under the furry ball's paws!"

Harry and Hermione came over to look and then they noticed.

A square, hidden wooden door was found underneath.

"No need to praise me, because this is how our attic is designed."

Harry shook his head: "I wasn't going to praise you. I was just saying we should remove his claws before we can get down."

Upon hearing this, Ron's expression changed:
"No, this is absolutely terrible..."

Ron's protests were ultimately ineffective.

However, the three little ones were too weak, and even when they worked together, they could only move it, not lift it.

"Okay, just one more push will be enough."

"Push harder, Ron!"

"I tried my best, but these big claws are too heavy!"

As he pushed, Ron kept looking at the dog's head with its eyes closed.

Because he always felt that this person was about to wake up.

This was also the first time the three of them had been so close to the dog's head.

It's still three identical giant dog heads.

Fortunately, the three of them managed to move the claw away in the end.

After opening the hidden door, Harry looked inside.

All Harry could see was darkness, and then he said:

"I'll go in first, and I'll signal you when it's safe, then you can come down!"

"If you run into trouble, just leave and go find Professor McGonagall."

Ron and Hermione both nodded nervously.

But it was at this moment.

Ron suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Didn't Hagrid say that the furball would fall asleep when listening to music?"

"So what happens when you're not listening to music?"

Will he wake up?

When they asked the question, none of them noticed.

In the moonlight through the window.

A figure with three heads has stood up.

"I should be able to sleep for a while even without music; I can't just wake up right away."

Hermione suddenly froze:
"Wait a minute, don't you guys think it's been a little too quiet since the beginning?"

"Yeah, why isn't Maoqiu snoring anymore?"

"The harp has also stopped making a sound."

As soon as Harry finished speaking, he saw a drop of sticky saliva land on Ron's shoulder out of sight.

Saw this scene.

All three of them had a bad feeling.

They looked up simultaneously.

They then discovered that a gigantic figure, reaching to the ceiling, was looking at them with its three heads.

The three of them screamed upon seeing this:

"what!"

"Jump!"

I don't know who shouted it.

The three of them jumped down uncontrollably, their limbs moving involuntarily, but the three gaping maws were a step too late. (End of Chapter)
