Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

As if he was a reporter who was nagging but always missed the point, Stuart took the trouble to ask the ghost a dozen questions repeatedly, such as "what's your name", "your age", "what is your age?" where' etc.

If he is really successful, then this ghost-catching scene will most likely become a chattering place for rural elderly to care about single youths.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the ghost here maintained a proud posture and said nothing, so that the two Americans returned without success.

However, Stuart and Boot were not discouraged. After spending more than 20 minutes in the house, Stuart walked out of the haunted house unhurriedly, and handed all the items except the amulet to Boot, asking him to use the phantom Apparate back to the Screaming Shack, and come over in exchange for something.

And Li Qiaodan, who was about to doze off, finally found a chance and interjected—a sentence:

"Boot Apparates back to the Shrieking Shack, then salvages the props, and swaps out the thermometer, salt, and photo negatives... (yawn)?? God, it looks like they're going to take a while."

But unlike Jordan's slack, Ms. Gooch praised the choices of the two Americans.

"If you don't consider the factors of competition, the choice of the Ilvermorni warriors is the most correct, whether it is to abide by the principle of "always keep someone outside to meet you", or to collect ghosts bit by bit through the safest means The evidence is all textbook operations.

And they're also smart in their choice of execution, since junior warriors can't legally apparate yet, so like Hogwarts, they put buying and selling things

The task of the warrior is given to the warrior, and the "low value" warrior attendant is used to explore the haunted house...

I know it doesn't look very interesting, but I have to add that if you are a professional "exorcist", then only by following the procedures of the Ilvermorny warriors, you can get rid of it a hundred times or a thousand times. Guarantee your own survival during the process of eliminating demons. Warriors from other schools may be more interesting to watch, but I personally don’t recommend it.”

"Even if it's from Hogwarts?" Jordan asked suspiciously, "I don't think there is any difference between Cedric and Harry."

"No, no, no... Hogwarts' method is only the most efficient, but not the safest."

In the spirit of professionalism, Ms. Gu Qi explained in detail: "Because the vast majority of ghosts can be tested by the two methods of "body temperature" and "psychic", followed by "ghost fingerprints", so they chose the most A quick way to get results.

But this is actually very accident-prone. If the ghost in that haunted house is a "spirit" or a woman with no body temperature, and the location happens to be in the corridor or hall, then Mr. Potter is probably "dead". .

Again, of all the things these warriors did, I only recommend what the Ilvermorny warriors did. "

Seeing that she had finished speaking, Jordan saw that the audience had almost rested, so he picked up the conversation and tried to revitalize the atmosphere of the scene.

"That's how it is...Thank you, Ms. Gu Qi, for the detailed explanation. If someone is interested in doing this kind of work, then he must learn these things... So what do you think of the way the Waggadu warriors did?"

Chapter Three Hundred and Six

In the switching director screen, I saw two black guys had arrived halfway up the snow-capped mountain, and were tying up straw pulled out from nowhere to look like dolls.

Ms. Gooch got stuck for the first time: "...don't know, but it looks like some kind of... head drop technique?"

It's no wonder that she doesn't know much about this kind of magic. After all, every other world is like a mountain. It's a bit embarrassing for someone like her who studies practical magic to study the witchcraft of her African counterparts.

However, the warriors of Waggadu were full of confidence in what they had made. After making the straw figurine, they put the silver needles they bought on the figurine one by one. This thing came to exorcise demons.

Dembele will hand over the villain to the attendant, and he will start to prepare the second prop.

In front of all the audience, Dembele walked slowly into the grass on the side of the road.Just when everyone was confused by his actions, I saw Dembele took out a stack of straw paper from his pocket, put it in his left hand, and then put his right hand on his waist, and began to untie his clothes. belt.

Before everyone could react, Lee Jordan suddenly realized what Dembele was going to do.

"Chambers, get the binoculars out of the way!" he yelled.In the studio, Chambers raised his head in a daze. He didn't understand why Jordan suddenly wanted to yell like that.

But he knew right away - Dembele undid his belt and pulled his trousers down to reveal his cheetah-print shorts.

Chambers finally understood.

He hastily dialed to the revolving frame on the slide projector, trying to immediately turn the camera back to the Hogwarts warriors.

But it's a pity that his movements are still a little slow - Dembele has already quickly put the toilet paper behind him, took off his shorts, and then squatted down with a face full of satisfaction.

There was a sudden burst of noise among the audience, among whom cheering, laughing, booing, and cursing abounded, and the whispers of the women talking about the size of M were completely overwhelmed.

In such a situation, Li Jordan, who claimed to be a gold medal host, didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to babble a few random words, trying to smooth things over.

In the end, it was Ms. Gooch who rescued him.

"As far as I know, dung eggs are often burned in African witchcraft...I think that's why," she told Jordan.

"That's right." Lee Jordan seemed to be pardoned, "Because most of the money was spent on silver needles, the wizards of Waggadu need to make some... ah... not so commonly used props, it's human nature."

Unexpected sudden moments like this test a commentator's on-the-spot response ability. Jordan was caught off guard for a while and was a little sluggish, but he finally reacted in time and did not lose face.

It is all the fault of the organizers. If Lockhart had told these warriors in advance that the whole match would be "live broadcast", then the warriors of Waggadu would never dare to be so unrestrained.But it's a pity that he didn't, because if he told him, the warriors would lack the presence of visiting a haunted house.

Chambers broke out in a cold sweat, and switched the camera back to Hogwarts.

This job is too exciting for him, and he will overturn if he is not careful.I hope that the British will act in the spirit of their compatriots and stop making trouble for him.he secretly

prayed.

Luckily for him, because Cedric and Harry's side was really lively at this time, and the audience's emotions were rekindled all of a sudden.

Because of the sudden "interruption" of the ghost, Harry and Cedric are now walking on thin ice. They must continue to explore while enduring the interference of the ghost.

If Durmstrang's people were in their situation, Krum would probably be very happy, because he could finally fight the ghost.But the ghosts in his place didn't respond at all, and the Hogwarts warriors who didn't want to encounter this kind of situation had to continue to entangle with the restless ghosts here.

If one had to choose a haunted house as the scene of a horror movie, then the one Harry and Cedric met now was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

Because this ghost is really too active.

Not a few steps after they re-entered the gate of the haunted house, they saw seven or eight glass glasses being thrown from the position above the steps, and the shards of the glass shattered almost hit Harry.

The two had to retreat temporarily, and then tiptoed into the haunted house through the back door.

It's a pity that this still can't prevent them from being frightened. Just when they were about to go to the bathroom to have a look, a skeleton that looked like a mouse or some small animal jumped past them again.

That's not all, when they saw the footprints everywhere on the ground because of stepping on salt, in order to avoid the direction of the last footprint, they had to hide in the closet again;

Just when everything was quiet and the two of them thought they could go out, the crazy singing of the ghost sounded from upstairs again, and it sounded like a weird tune, probably it was created by itself.

Harry felt that if Lockhart hadn't cast the tranquility spell first, the ghost would have killed him by the time he used the thermometer.

Just as the two were carefully sweeping the salt in the living room, and spread out the notebook on the stairs, the faucet in the kitchen was suddenly turned on by something, and water began to flow out, and it still looked like bloody dirty water .

Harry and Cedric quickly hid, until the sound of opening a drawer was heard upstairs, Harry and the others came to the kitchen together, and blew a circle of golden powder around the faucet one pair, which was used by Newt. The kind to detect traces of magical creatures

But nothing appeared around the faucet or on the ground, not the ghostly handprints or fingerprints that Cedric expected.

"Oops." Cedric frowned and whispered, "I bought the dust of development for nothing, and so did the thermometer."

"No, it's not in vain." Harry also answered him in a low voice, "We can be sure that it has been tapped, but it has not left fingerprints, which helps us rule out a few more wrong options. I think we are now It's pretty close to the right answer."

Strong? "

In Cedric's astonishment, Harry quickly started his own reasoning: "It doesn't have a cooling physique, which means it's not the 7 types of ghosts. And it can come in and interrupt when we speak with magic, which means it's not a ghost baby either." (Myling). Yuling (Gry) and female ^ (Banshee), then it can only be a few punches that may have no entity"

"Is it a Piltergeist like Peeves? I see it throwing things around." Cedric asked hopefully. "If that's the case, it won't be difficult to deal with."

"Probably not." Harry punctured his fantasy, "Soul Ling will leave ghost fingerprints, but you have seen it now, there are no fingerprints of it here."

"Then it is..."

"Wait." Harry said succinctly, "If there is really something written in that notebook later, then I can guess what it is."

"Looks like we'll have to hide for a while longer," Cedric said helplessly.

So they stooped quickly, went back into the closet, and continued to play hide-and-seek with ghosts.

A few minutes later, when the ghost took a walk around and yelled "Where are you, kitty?" and went upstairs again, the two emerged from the closet again.

After looking at the doodles scribbled with various paints on the notebook, Harry smiled triumphantly.

Seeing him like this, Cedric also showed joy: "How, are you sure?"

"There are only two left..." Harry said to him, "Either it is a normal "Spirit" J, or "Nightmare" J, I think the probability of the latter is higher."

"Is there any way to tell the difference?" Cedric asked again.

"Yes, because the soul is still alive, it has a magnetic field of life. Although the nightmare has no entity, it has a spirit ball." Harry said simply.

Cedric thought about it quickly: "When it threw the glass down, I seemed to see a small light flashing on the steps..."

"That's the spirit ball." Harry was overjoyed. "It's a nightmare!"

"Okay, now we know, we definitely can't fall asleep or get knocked out.oo So what's Nightmare's weakness?"

"Let me think... I remember! It's a bright light! Yes, no wonder there are so many candles and kerosene lamps in this room, but this ghost has never lit them." Harry suddenly realized.

After hearing the words, Cedric made up his mind: "Bright light? Leave it to me!"

He did have reasons to feel relieved—wizard, isn't it easy to make something brighter if you can't make other big scenes?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Harry and Cedric packed up the evidence and discussed the tactics, they officially started the last step—the exorcism.

Knowing the weakness of the goblin, the goblin that had to be avoided before was no longer a scary thing, let alone Harry was sure that his cards could handle it.

What he was most worried about was that if the ghosts here were spirits or elemental creatures, or werewolves, vampires, female ghosts and other fleshy things, then the spell he practiced for a whole year last year would be useless up.

The two drew their wands, and Cedric cast a Chromatic Charm 7 on Harry's glasses, turning his glasses into dark glasses.

Then, the two quietly climbed up to the second floor together.

At the door of the haunted house, the two looked at each other, and then kicked the door open with all their strength.

Seeing that the two children came to "send their death" on their own initiative, and there were no amulets, holy water, holy wood or other things that made him feel uncomfortable, the nightmare suddenly let out a strange smile, and then opened its two ghosts. The blue "hand" that seemed to be still glistening with blood rushed towards the two of them with a grimace.

But neither Cedric nor Harry was afraid, because they already knew that although the ghost face and ghost hands looked scary, they were all fake, and the only entity in this nightmare was the gleaming ghost in the middle. Orb of light.

When the nightmare approached, Cedric took the lead in chanting the spell aloud.

"Lums_Maxima!

With this incantation, the dark hut was instantly filled with the light shining from the tip of the wand, which was as dazzling as the noon sun, illuminating the room like a cloud.

Same as daytime.

Nightmare screamed and wanted to back away from the sudden bright light.

But Harry wouldn't just let it go, he uttered the spell that took the world by storm and even got tattooed on the arms of many Muggle youths:

"Expect_Paternum (Expect_Paternum)!

— A silver-white mist gushed out from the tip of Harry's staff, then materialized in the air, and finally condensed into the shape of a stag.

After the stag jumped out from the tip of the staff, it immediately lowered its head, kicked off its four long legs, and used the antlers on its head to hit Nightmare's spirit ball.

Nightmare might have been able to escape, but under the strong light, it was in so much pain that it even lost the ability to perceive, so it was hit straight by the stag with almost no resistance.

The spirit ball hit by the patron saint is like a daylight bulb that has been cut off: it flashes and then disappears into the air, and only the echo of Haru's roar is left in the empty hut.

The stag that had completed the task of suppressing the enemy gracefully jumped back to Harry's side in a halo of light, stuck out its tongue and licked its master before disappearing into the air, leaving behind Cedric and Harry in the darkness. Harry gasped heavily and looked at each other.

"Fixed?" Harry asked.

"should be."

The muscles on Harry's face gradually relaxed: "Then... let's get the evidence and go back and hand in the task."

Cedric also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, but I think the time must have passed."

"It can't be helped. We've been hiding in the closet for too long. Maybe Fleur and Krum have gone back."

"I'll take your followers to reveal, so it can be a few minutes faster.

"thanks.

"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Seeing that the Hogwarts warriors had solved their mission goals, cheers erupted in the cinema.

There was no way, after all, it was the home court of Hogwarts, and there were the most people cheering for Cedric and Harry no matter how they counted.

Mrs. Maxim, Karkaroff, Mbabazi and Mr. Potter all had ugly expressions, but they must admit that the Hogwarts warriors did a very good job just now.

sctbr~i

1 shows ^^

"Anyway, it's just the first project." Karkaroff said angrily, "We

The people are not too slow...the last room is coming soon

As he said, when everyone's eyes were on the main stage, Karkaroff kept paying attention to Durmstrang.

Krum and his duo went all the way to the room, and after encountering a few small traps in the middle, they finally reached the last room.

Obviously, if that thing is hiding, it can only hide here.

Christopherson cautiously made Krum take a step back, then kicked himself, kicking the door open.

Then the two backed away quickly, waiting for a possible attack.

However, the strange thing is that nothing happened, and the room was as quiet as the previous room.
