Chapter 258 Flying Harry
The Hogwarts students have fared better than most expected, and many of them have become adept at handling crises that would be difficult for even adult wizards.
After nearly 80% of the students were eliminated, a team finally appeared in front of the ball python.
At this time, the ball python had become very large under the effect of the spell. The diameter of its head was close to a person's height, and the already fat body in the middle looked even bigger.
The first student who encountered him thought he had hit a wall, but then he found that the wall was moving, and he was so shocked that he was stunned.
The ball python flicked its tail and the student was caught off guard and flew out.
Even though he was caught by Ye Qi in mid-air, he was still eliminated.
Then one team after another rushed to the central area in a panic and charged towards the ball python.
Ball pythons are originally docile animals that are shy and timid by nature.
But at this moment, it seemed to treat all this as an interesting game. It did not use its expertise in entanglement and inverted fangs. It simply swung its tail or moved its body to expel all the students from its territory.
But the contestants' goal is not to defeat this big guy, but to leave their team's mark on it.
So it didn't take long for the clever students to come up with a solution -
They assigned some people to attract the ball python's attention, and then one or two agile guys rushed forward to leave their names.
The python's scales are very smooth and difficult to climb, so some teams with less demanding requirements simply signed at a position away from the head, and just focused on having participated.
Some people knelt on the ground and shouted in despair: "Why did I choose a name like 'Crackling Explosion Lovers, Gobstone Go to Hell'! How can I finish it?"
His only remaining teammate stood nearby with a blank look on his face, looking as if his soul had left his body.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Weasley brothers were amused by them, and they rushed to the front in perfect harmony.
The name of their team is "Misbehavior".
With the cooperation of their teammates, the two not only successfully left their names, but also wiped off the signatures of their competitors.
So as soon as they jumped off the python, they were faced with a melee.
It was at this time that Harry and others rushed into the core area.
At the same time, they were also the last team. Other teams that were stuck halfway or had serious casualties basically chose to give up.
There were only a few people left in the Umbrella House. Michael, Neville and Theo all fell down halfway while trying to cover their teammates. In the end, only Harry and Hermione were left.
Vader sat on the platform of the Owl Shed. Although he couldn't hear the conversation over there, he could clearly see how the situation was developing.
Although it was unintentional, the twins' disruptive behavior helped Harry and Hermione a lot -
The teams that had signed their names basically quickly left the battle group and hid nearby to watch.
If everything went as usual, when Harry and the others arrived, they would have to face the ball python, which was annoyed by these little flies, alone. They would have to find a way to avoid its attack and rush to him to get his autograph.
But at this moment, several Gryffindors and Slytherins were fighting fiercely around the ball python, and were all whipped away by its tail.
The teams whose names were erased had to rush towards the ball python a second time, signing autographs while guarding against the ball python and protecting their new signatures, while also sabotaging others.
It can be said that Fred and George completely broke the original order and made all the students understand that signing is only the first step, and the most important thing is whether they can protect the name of their team to the end.
"Good opportunity! While this big guy's attention is distracted, I can just fly over."
Harry took out his broom and was about to ride on it.
"and many more!"
Hermione grabbed him.
The girl looked at the time and said, "It only takes one second to write 'SSC'... wait until five minutes before the end before you go up." Harry immediately realized that Hermione was right.
He didn't have the confidence to protect his signature in such a chaos... and once he got on the broom, he would probably become everyone's target.
But waiting on the sidelines isn't easy either.
The torment of not being able to complete the mission just because of the last bit is only a small part. What is more important is the flying spells, the huge tail that occasionally passes by, and the sneak attacks from other teams.
Fortunately, the other magical creatures in the maze seemed to be frightened by the noise here and did not suddenly emerge from the bushes to attack them like before.
Vader looked down at the chaotic scene there.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to the students, all the professors, thestrals and most of the house-elves in the maze were standing around, ready to provide rescue at any time.
From his perspective, Harry and Hermione were like little ants on the ground, jumping around constantly.
Suddenly, Hermione's legs stuck together uncontrollably and she fell to the ground, followed by the ball python's body falling towards her.
Harry had a screaming and ferocious expression on his face, and from the shape of his lips he shouted "Hermione".
Then, the ball python's body froze, and a house-elf appeared in an instant and took Hermione away.
Before leaving, Hermione took the time to make an "OK" gesture to Harry.
Harry nodded vigorously, knowing that Hermione was reminding him that he had to endure for three minutes before attacking.
He dodged two intersecting spells with great agility, fell to the ground and rolled, causing himself to become covered in dust.
Probably because Harry was the smallest in both size and age, and did not actively attack, the ball python did not take him seriously, and even the other teams did not pay much attention to him.
This made it easier for Harry to "survive".
Three minutes are up.
A flying broom rose into the sky, like a swift fighting the waves, nimble and light.
"Wow--"
There were simultaneous exclamations from the audience.
The contestants were also surprised, and the next second, seven or eight spells flew towards Harry, and the Weasley brothers applauded, cheered and laughed.
The boy flew like a fish in water, as if the strong wind was no obstacle to him at all.
After a moment, there were huge screams and cheers from the audience, and Vader could hear them clearly in the Owl Shed.
He put down the telescope, and then heard Professor Murray asked him with a smile:
"Do you regret it? If you had participated, you might be the one receiving the applause right now."
"What's the point?"
Wade said uninterestedly: "People's feelings are fickle, especially the love of strangers, which may turn into disdain or even hatred because of a small thing."
Professor Murray smiled.
"These words...are not something you can say at your age."
He shook his head and said, "Children are cuter when they are more lively."
Vader turned to look at him and asked, "Is he cuter... or more gullible?"
He didn't hear the professor's answer.
A house elf suddenly appeared with a "bang" and said with a slight tremor: "Mr. Weed Grey... the maze... something happened..."
