The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The moment Quirrell stepped into the corridor, Dumbledore's eyes narrowed. He said to Professor McGonagall, "Minerva, I remember you had classes in the morning?"

Professor McGonagall responded, "Yes, but it doesn't matter, I can be late—"

"How can that be done!" Fudge immediately put on a distressed look, "You can't wrong the children, Transfiguration is a very important course, Minerva, hurry up and go to class, I'll discuss it with Professor Dumbledore. Let's talk about poaching unicorns."

"Son, you should go to class too, you must study hard, and try to work at the Ministry of Magic in the future - your grades are very good, and you may be a minister again when you enter the Ministry of Magic!" Fudge did not forget to remind Tom before leaving. .

After talking to Tom, he took his subordinates and left with Dumbledore as quickly as possible. They needed to go to the Ministry of Magic.

A butterfly also flew from the window to Professor McGonagall's hand, and turned into a note with words on it, which read: Take Tom to that place, hurry up!

Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows, immediately chased where Tom left, and blocked him when he was approaching the Ravenclaw common room, where he was chatting with Hermione.

"Tom, come with me immediately." As soon as they met, Professor McGonagall said involuntarily, and dragged Tom away.

Hermione wanted to follow, but Professor McGonagall glared at her, so frightened that she didn't dare to move - Hermione was most afraid of Professor McGonagall.

Tom begged to Professor McGonagall: "Professor, in a minute, let me go back to the dormitory..." He roughly guessed what he was going to do, but his Uzi gun was still in the dormitory! This caught him off guard, without a powerful means of output. But don't blame Tom, who would carry a submachine gun for breakfast?

But he touched the teapot in his arms and regained his confidence.

"No, it's too late." Professor McGonagall refused him without looking back, but quickened her pace.

Tom suddenly realized something and asked tentatively, "Professor, are you..."

"Albus asked me to fetch an important thing with you. He said that you are more familiar with the level." During the conversation, the two had come to the closed corridor on the fourth floor.

Professor McGonagall opened the door with a slight push, which changed her expression—the door was locked before she left.

She went to the trapdoor and said to Tom, "Jump down!"

She thought that Tom would squirm and didn't dare to jump, but Tom jumped off with a rub. The air inside the trapdoor was damp and cold, and Tom fell for a long time before he fell onto a soft mass. The trapdoor was directly above his head, now the size of a postage stamp.

It's easy to figure out the distance from the ground here. You only need to know the size of the trapdoor, and then based on the size of the "stamp", you can roughly estimate the distance, but Tom doesn't have that in mind.

Professor McGonagall also jumped down. The moment she stood up, she pulled out her wand: "Burning flames!"

The flames quickly dispelled the plants under them.

"Devil's web, likes a dark and humid environment, but is afraid of fire." She glanced at Tom, "Professor Sprout should have taught you in class, but you have been here in a daze without taking any measures. "

"Professor, if I take measures, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk to me now." Tom was also speechless: Could he not know that this is the Devil's Web? Not because you haven't jumped yet!

Professor McGonagall paused for a moment, and then she cast a lighting spell to illuminate the surrounding environment. Below the trapdoor is a passage, and at the bottom of the passage is a room, which is covered with devil nets—this kind of plant is actually quite lethal. If you didn't pay attention to herbal lessons as a child, even an adult wizard would have to hate it.

The exit of the house is also a long passage, and the walls of the passage are covered with moss. There is no downward trend in this passage, but it is claustrophobic and long, winding and winding. It should be the tunnel reserved when Hogwarts was built, leading to the "underground chamber" of Hogwarts.

The professors of various subjects were very conscientious and did not place any mechanism in the passage. Quirrell walked in a hurry and did not set any traps. If it was Tom, I am afraid that he could design countless vicious mechanisms. For example, the two sides of the passage will gradually shrink until the intruder is crushed into flesh; which mechanism is triggered, it is a lighting spell followed by a flying crossbow - this dark environment is suddenly illuminated by strong light, and the eyes are likely to be blinded; or Just pour the quicksand back...

But none of these organs, Tom and Professor McGonagall reached the end of the passage safely. At the end is a room with a large iron cage. There are five cube stones in front of the cage, and there are petal-like patterns on it. There are hundreds of birds in the cage that are as dazzling as gems, and they are flying in the cage. If you look closely, these birds are all made of keys.

Opposite the room was a wooden door that was locked. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Tom was shocked when he came in: How did Quirrell get through this level so fast?

This level was designed by him for Dumbledore. The idea of ​​solving the puzzle is also very simple. First, arrange the square stones in order so that the number of petals on each stone is the same, so that you can open the lock of the cage and let the key Fly out and grab the corresponding key with the broomstick.

In theory, Quirrell should have been stuck here for a long time, but why did Quirrell successfully clear the level when Tom and Professor McGonagall arrived? Tom looked at the bird in the cage and suddenly had an idea: Quirrell probably just reached in and grabbed the corresponding key and came out?

Looking at the gaps in the cage and the density of the keys, Tom felt that he could really do it.

Tom was speechless for a moment: Quirrell really knows how to use bugs...

However, he still intends to use the traditional method to solve the puzzle - after all, he knows the standard answer. And it's not hard to see from Professor McGonagall's blank eyes: she doesn't know how to solve the puzzle.

The five stones are lined up in a row, each with three petals, some bright, some dark, Tom's goal is to make the number of bright petals on each stone the same - the number doesn't matter , one piece, two pieces, or three pieces.

From left to right, the number of petals that light up on the stone is 1, 2, 3, 2, and 1. The rules of the stone are also very simple. Every time you poke the stone, the number of petals that light up on the stone will change. The stones will also change. However, the leftmost and rightmost stones will only change with the stone next to them.

When the stone is hit once, the number of petals on it will increase by one. If all three are lit, then only one petal will be lit.

Tom stepped forward, ready to solve the puzzle.
