Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 61 Unknown
"As I just told you below—"

To everyone's surprise, today's practical class of Defense Against the Dark Arts class was not held in the auditorium. After Professor Bryan briefly explained to everyone what he was going to do, he led everyone to the castle. Eighth floor, in front of an abandoned classroom near Headmaster Dumbledore's office.

Looking at the slightly excited little wizards standing in the corridor, Amosta smiled,
"I used a complicated magic to slightly expand the space in this classroom to accommodate the dark creatures I'm going to let you deal with."

"What the hell is that, Professor Blaine!"

Hufflepuff's second-year boy, Wayne Hopkins, raised his hands and shouted. He looked at Harry, who was also talking with Hermione and Ron in a low voice, and asked, "Will it be a head?" A troll?"

"Sorry, Hopkins, as I said before, I don't intend to let anyone know the name of the dark creature in advance. If you want to see it, you can only confirm it with your own eyes. Now, I want to tell you The rules of this 'game'—"

Amosta leaned against the oak door and smiled with folded arms,

"The second graders are in groups of two, and the first graders are in groups of three. Let's deal with the creatures inside together. Due to the limited time, each group is limited to 10 minutes. Timeout or death will count as failure."

The crowd became agitated. Many people noticed the special words in Professor Brian's words. Ron and Harry glanced at each other, and they both noticed the uneasiness in each other's eyes. According to their understanding of Professor Brian, the classroom I'm afraid the creature is indeed out of the 'interesting' category.

Malfoy's body in the crowd had already started to tremble, and he thought of a possibility, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Death." Neville's voice trembled, as if he would faint at any moment, but fortunately Hermione could still maintain a clear mind, she glared at Neville angrily, suppressed her voice, and said in a lecturing tone,
"Professor Bryan can't let anyone die. Neville, Headmaster Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will not allow it!"

"That's not good, Miss Granger,"

Hearing this sentence, Amosta had a playful expression on his face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made many people shudder,

"The unruly things I've done over the years would probably shock you all. All I can say is, I try not to see anyone die in this trial '!"

Immediately afterwards, Amosta waved his wand, and a piece of parchment shining with red magical light appeared in front of him out of thin air. Amosta looked around the crowd, and finally, let this magic contract float into Hermione's hands,
"So before anyone enters this classroom, they must sign their names on this magic contract. Miss Granger, please read the words on it to everyone."

After Hermione took the parchment, she couldn't wait to read it. She only glanced at it a few times. Her previous confidence that nothing would happen disappeared, and her pink cheeks gradually turned pale. Harry and Ron who surrounded her , Neville, after seeing the words on the paper, all of them seemed to be strangled by someone, and even breathing became difficult.

Hermione stared blankly at Professor Blaine, wanting to confirm whether it was just an April Fool's Day joke, but the earnestness in Professor Blaine's eyes allowed her to get the answer to the question, and there were already many little wizards anxiously urging , Hermione had to perform her duties first.
".1. Those who enter the classroom first to participate in the trial, no matter whether they succeed or fail, are not allowed to disclose everything they see in the classroom by any means, and those who have not participated in the trial are not allowed to inquire.

2. In this trial, each group member has two chances. If the first round fails, until the end of the second round of trial, no one is allowed to ask for advice, no information is allowed to be consulted, and only group members are allowed to discuss with each other The way to pass the trial. "

Amostar interrupted Hermione with a smile, and said to everyone,

"The purpose of my setting these two rules is to allow everyone to rely on their own wisdom and the wisdom of their companions to defeat the dark creatures inside under absolutely unknown circumstances. The most important thing is the third rule, Miss Granger, please continue .”

Hermione swallowed, and said the last rule in a stiff voice,
"3. Participation in this trial is not mandatory, but the person who decides to participate must sign the contract. When the name is signed, it means that he is fully aware of the dangers of this trial. The casualties have nothing to do with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Amosta Bryan!"

Whoa!
When Hermione finished reading this rule in a panting voice, the seventy or eighty young wizards standing in the corridor immediately erupted into an uproar. In the chaos, Hermione struggled to express her opinion,

"It's against the law, professor, and the Ministry of Magic won't approve of such an exemption!"

Amosta shrugged indifferently, "Let the Ministry of Magic go to hell, Miss Granger, as I said, sometimes I like to go against the rules!"

"But Headmaster Dumbledore won't allow it either!" Ravenclaw's Sophie Roper screamed too.

"Then let Principal Dumbledore go to see him together. Cough cough,"

Amosta shut up in time and changed a friendly expression,
"In fact, Miss Roper, Principal Dumbledore has already approved my 'teaching plan'. Of course, if you don't think you have the courage to overcome the fear of the unknown, you can also choose not to participate. I said, this is Not mandatory."

"Is this possible, Harry!" murmured Ron, who was as shocked as everyone else, "Principal Dumbledore... how could he?"

"I can't answer your question, Ron, I only know one thing!"

The beating heart in his chest made Harry's face turn red, and he couldn't tell whether he was afraid at this moment or excited about facing unknown challenges. All in all, this feeling is not bad!
"Professor Blaine may be serious, we'd better take it seriously!"

Hermione was still staring at the parchment with wide eyes, trying to find flaws between the lines. From her trembling fingertips, it could be seen that Amosta's series of foreshadowing was still very successful.

"You only have 2 minutes to make a decision."

After Amosta said this, he deliberately turned around and took a few steps forward, leaving room for discussion to these bewildered little wizards.

Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin, the little wizards of each house behave differently.

Although the fear is the same, the eyes of most Gryffindors who believe in courage are eager to try. Hermione is already reciting the spells that may be used in a low voice, and Neville's round eyes are turning pale. He kept on, hoping that someone could give some guidance, but everyone was in a state of anxiety, and no one could tell him what to do.

The little wizards in Ravenclaw were much calmer than the people in the other three colleges. They were still trying to analyze whether the contract that Professor Bryan presented was just a bluff and had no binding effect at all.

Hufflepuff wizards are all on the lookout, and their choices may be influenced by the decisions of the other three house wizards.

Some of the young Slytherin wizards who are best at protecting themselves are already quietly hiding in the crowd, but Malfoy seems to have made a choice. With dry lips, he looked at Crabbe for a while, and Goyle for a while. The bloated body that he disliked seemed to be a little weak at this moment. Suddenly, Malfoy thought of something, he raised his hand and asked loudly,

"Professor Bryan, if I decide to participate, will I choose my teammates?"

Harry and Ron froze for a moment, Malfoy did ask a good question this time.

"Unfortunately, Mr Malfoy,"

Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Amosta turned around with a smile on his face, "In order to strengthen the interaction between the various colleges and enhance the mutual understanding among young wizards, I will arrange your team members according to my own ideas."

Harry twitched his toes uneasily, and suddenly remembered the duel partner that Professor Snape had arranged for him in Professor Lockhart's dueling class.

"So."

There was no sound in the corridor, and Amosta was the only one talking. He looked at the little wizards who had their own thoughts, and opened his arms to embrace him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, make a decision!"
