Chapter 287 On the Verge of Breaking Out

"This is a very complex magic configuration." "It is a test of magic cultivation." The Prewett brothers replied.

If they were alive, they would definitely not be able to determine the principle so quickly.

But everything in the magic fairy world has already transformed them.

Unlike Krum and other magic fairies whose flesh shells have not been perfectly transformed by the [Road], in a sense, this has limited the power and senses of the elves. To master it perfectly, they must either become great magic fairies or transform their flesh to adapt, but this takes time.

And the dead like them, the spirits of magic fairy weapons, are closer to magic itself than they are.

Magic seems to constitute their bodies, and they are now real magical creatures - creatures made of magic.

This huge spider-web-like magic array, the different nature of energy required for each node, the size of the energy, and the rate required for input offset are all presented to them in a more intuitive and simple way.

"Let's do it." "It just takes some time." The Prewett brothers said.

So, in the eyes of all the audience, after a moment of silence, Krum began to shine with various colors of light, and moved slowly but steadily through the pipe wall towards the principal's office.

The flickering barrier in front of him seemed like an illusory projection.

("How could this be done?" Dumbledore was surprised.)

(Breaking through a magical fortification is not that surprising, even if it was built by another him.)

(Magic traps usually transfer, rebound, or even absorb the force exerted by the magic and individuals who want to break through as part of the entire structure.)

(And having a wizard host and not having a wizard host are two completely different concepts.)

(No wizard host sits in such a place, no matter how perfect the design is, there will be loopholes after facing the invasion of wizards and responding to it.)

(But 'Krum' did not look for loopholes at all. )

(It's like calculating 1+2+3++100. You can just multiply 1+100 by 50, but he has to go from 1+2 to +3 and figure it out.)

(You can, but it's not necessary.)

(Thinking of this, Dumbledore frowned, "Perhaps. For the fairies, it's easier to calculate 1+2 to +3. This is just a manifestation of the fact that the fairies have surpassed wizards in essence.")

As Dumbledore thought, Cedric and his brothers have indeed surpassed wizards in essence.

Krum and the Prewett brothers were too careless.

Their infiltration is indeed undetectable to the wizards of this world.

Because the personal [path] is the best at hiding itself among the four, it is the same for Harry and his brothers.

But when you fully integrate into the magic barrier and turn the original non-existence into existence, you will inevitably reveal your true colors.

Therefore, in the case of changes in the castle walls and fluctuations in the magic magnetic field that the entire magic world audience and the wizards around them could not observe, Fleur, who was the best at sensing [Road] among the four warriors, was the first to discover Krum's actions.

She was originally walking side by side with Cedric, and when she turned a corner, she shook her sleeves lightly, and a snow-white owl fell from it and flew out of the window.

And Cedric, as he got closer to the principal's office, also sensed a breath from the wall that should not have appeared.

He was unpredictable and released the blockade of Riddle, and a sniff fell into the shadow.

On the other side, Krum, who was taken advantage of by the witches and advanced in the wall pipe, did not realize that he was discovered. Then he broke through the outer perimeter of the magic barrier, and his breath began to converge steadily.

Harry, who was surrounded by Harry, Ron, and Draco, and Lily, who was looking at her son'daughter' with a relaxed aunt's smile, completely missed the opportunity to discover Krum's actions.

(The audience didn't know that Harry didn't notice Krum's action.)

(After Cedric and Fleur were surprised and made small movements to show that they had noticed, the audience, according to their inertia of thinking, thought that Harry, who was the most "cunning" and the first to think of stealing the Sorting Hat, must have noticed it.)

(This audience even included Snape, who knew Lily very well and knew how amazing her senses were after exchanging [Magic Refining] four times. He couldn't think of it, but Krum's breath was only leaked for a moment, and Lily just missed this opportunity.)

(And Dumbledore, his attention was now All transferred to Ariana who turned into an owl. )

(Animals transformed by Animagus are perfect. The trace of glasses on the tabby cat transformed by Minerva is a mark made by her deliberately wearing glasses when transformed. Without such a mark, they are no different from real animals in appearance and breath.)

(Even if the human figure reappearing charm cast on the Marauder's Map has no effect on Animagus who is completely dominated by animal nature.)

So, the snow-white owl flew to the window sill smoothly, turning its head to look at everything inside.

"That woman is not here. And I can't go any further."

Ariana said to Fleur through the soul connection.

She suddenly remembered that as a heroic spirit, she could not be too far away from the warrior.

If Fleur hadn't followed the crowd and was approaching the gargoyle at the entrance of the principal's office, she might not even be able to get close to the window.

"Ah, not here? What a good time! But I can't move forward, Anna, there are people in front of me."

Fleur was very distressed.

In fact, this had nothing to do with the people in front of her. She had already reached her limit.

Without knowing the password of the gargoyle, she could only walk to the front of the gargoyle at most, and even then, Ariana could not enter the office.

"Do you want to try the flying spell?" Fleur suggested.

Generally speaking, precious magic props have anti-flying spells, but with the high-quality magic power of the magic fairy, it is possible to force it to fly, and it is also possible to fly bricks with great strength.

"No, there are magics everywhere here. I can get close only because I am an ordinary owl now." Ariana shook her head.

Riddle, who shared the results of Cedric's [Road], turned into a Niffler, and then turned into a ball-escape bird, also faced the same trouble-the distance limit prevented him from entering the office in a physical sense.

And the white owl on the window sill-Ariana Dumbledore, also indirectly prevented him from getting closer.

It's not that she revealed any flaws, but Dumbledore's sister Ariana's Animagus form has long been exposed to the entire wizarding world.

"Diggory, I found Dumbledore's sister at the window sill of the office, and Delacour also found Krum's movements."

"Is that so?" Cedric smiled at Fleur beside him, as if nothing had happened.

(Riddle's transformation and his discovery of Ariana were also exposed to the audience.)

("Could it be that Cedric is first again!" Ron was furious. He couldn't hear the conversation between the Heroic Spirits and the Warriors, and naturally didn't know that in this world, the Heroic Spirits couldn't be too far away from the Warriors.)

(So in his opinion, Ariana and Riddle, who couldn't move forward, were the strong candidates for the Sorting Hat.)

(And Riddle, who discovered Ariana and hid behind her and turned into a ball-escape bird that could flash and teleport, was the most likely winner.)

(He could only look at Harry, who had also "discovered" Krum's actions, hoping that Harry would do something to hinder Cedric's victory.)

("Why is he so anxious? Isn't there a prophecy? "The audience at the Hufflepuff table next to them was a little confused.)

("The prophecy didn't say who the traitorous warrior was, but now they have all betrayed the group. Although the 'invisible elves' are most likely Harry and Krum, turning into owls and magical animals is also a certain degree of invisibility. Combined with the current situation, Cedric is most likely to be the winner." A smart person who is also a Hufflepuff student and a supporter of Cedric analyzed.)

("What about midnight? It's only 4 pm there, and there are still about 8 hours to go.")

("Before midnight, now is also before midnight.")

On the other side, the crowd lingering at the entrance of the headmaster's office also attracted the deputy headmaster Minerva McGonagall.

The crowd stood on both sides like Moses parting the sea, and the witch in emerald green robes and veils walked through and walked in front of Trelawney.

"Why did you want to come out today?" McGonagall raised her eyebrows, with undisguised disgust on her face, "I remember it's class time, and don't you know how exaggerated the charm of witches of our age is? Why don't you wear a veil?"

(Professor McGonagall blushed. The reason why she always looked down on Trelawney was that she thought she was a liar.)

(Dumbledore scratched his nose awkwardly when he saw her expression. Trelawney's bad reputation was actually guided by him, and the same reason as Harry's sad childhood, in order to protect her, so as to cover up her identity as the prophet of the savior prophecy.)

Trelawney's ears blushed, she remembered Harry's shivering.

Harry was the same, but this also made him complain, "It's worthy of Professor McGonagall. She is so strict no matter which world she is in."

In fact, only on holidays such as the opening banquet, professors would wear scarves, masks and the like to cover their faces.

On weekdays, in order to attract students' attention and listen carefully, for convenience, no professor wears this thing.

Only Dumbledore, who is also considered to be amazingly charming among older witches, and Professor McGonagall, who is so strict with herself and others, would wear it.

"I made a prophecy." Trelawney suppressed her shame.

"Prophecy?" Professor McGonagall frowned in dissatisfaction, "No matter who you choose as the dead person in your prophecy this year, can you keep your tricks in the classroom and not make such a fuss and disrupt the order of the college."

"Please remember, Minerva McGonagall." Professor Trelawney became tough, "Don't forget that it was Dumbledore who took the initiative to invite me to join. There is naturally a reason for her. Whether you believe it or not, I need to contact Dumbledore immediately and tell her the content of the prophecy."

"Time is very urgent, and the prophecy is also very important. I don't want you to become a sinner in the wizarding world because of your prejudice against me!"

Professor McGonagall was obviously angry, and the cold anger turned into substance and burst out from her eyes.

She said coldly, "Professor Dumbledore left ten minutes ago."

"She received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic sent by owl and flew to London immediately."

"He left?" Trelawney said anxiously, "At this time?"

"Professor Dumbledore is a very great wizard, busy with many things, and his time is precious-"

"But this matter is very important."

"Is what you want to say more important than the Ministry of Magic, Sybill Trelawney?"

"I'm sure."

"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow. If it's really urgent, you can write to him, right away, instead of blocking the door of the headmaster's office with a group of students."

"But--"

"I'm the vice-headmaster."

"You'll regret it!"

Professor Trelawney angrily returned to the north tower, the direction of her small room.

Professor McGonagall looked at the students gathered around, "You can disperse, don't block the door of the office."

"At this time, both male and female wizards are better off staying in the lounge."

"There are people outside the school who are eyeing you covetously."

"I hope you can pay attention to your own safety, instead of being dominated by ridiculous prophecies and causing trouble for the faculty and staff."

(Professor McGonagall closed her eyes for the brainless performance of another self, because the scene of slapping her face was about to come.)

Boom!

The red-haired girl floated outside the window, her white little hands gently raised.

The headmaster's office was opened, and the falling stones turned into powder, making the students who were basking in the sun on the lawn dark.

The back-swept gusts swept the sorting hat on the partition and made it fly towards the girl.

Fawkes, the phoenix who had just been reborn on the golden branch and was still a wrinkled bird, did not physically or mentally stop the girl's actions.

The closeness from the blood made it indifferent, and its fledgling body only had the power to protect itself.

At the same time, on the other side, the roar coming from the window made Professor McGonagall aware of the movement in the office.

Not only her, but Krum was also surprised to let the other body no longer cover up, but the head was still invisible, violently breaking through the barriers and flying straight across the spiral staircase towards the office door.

The castle began to shake after the magic barrier was touched.

"Everyone back off!" Professor McGonagall said loudly.

She squatted down and pressed her hands on the ground.

The vast magic power burst out from the contact surface between her and the ground.

Under the effect of Transfiguration, the stone floor and walls softened.

The sun and breeze poured into the corridor, and the ceiling disappeared, replaced by a blue sky.

The softened gray waves wrapped Professor McGonagall's body and flew towards the office.

"Mom." Harry, who was protecting Draco and the other two, called his mother in his heart.

Lily left Harry's body and flew towards the office on the roof.

At this time, the Sorting Hat had already fallen into the white little hand.

Riddle Ball Bird was still lurking.

Krum broke into the office and met Ariana's eyes.

Without considering breaking the magic barrier, Lily followed Krum's path and came from behind. She merged into the ceiling with the illusory body of the Heroic Spirit and waited for an opportunity to move.

Professor McGonagall, driving the gray ocean, appeared not far away with a roar.

The battle was about to start.
