Homecoming from Hogwarts

It is foolish to act recklessly against an opponent who is stronger than you - this is the teaching of Professor Brian.

In order to dig a trap for the stone monster, Hermione and Harry wasted some time so that they would not suddenly lose their warm shelter during the subsequent battle with the stone monster.

When the bright red mist surrounding them had not yet disappeared, they took the initiative to replenish it.

The giant ice-blue block of ice still stood there, and Furong sat on a stone bored, playing with the key she got from the last round of the competition.

When Fleur saw Harry and Hermione rushing out, she happily stood up and asked about the situation, but was once again ignored by Harry and Hermione who were focused on victory.

snort!
Furong stomped her feet in anger, but in the end she could only sit down helplessly and continue to accompany the boring wind and snow.

The trap was ready, and Harry and Hermione stood more than forty feet away from the stone monster on the right, holding their wands and their bodies tense.

"Are you ready, Hermione?"

Harry tightened the wand in his hand, but found that his palms were full of sweat. He quickly wiped his palms and the handle of the wand on his clothes.

"Go ahead, Harry!"

Hermione's messy brown curls were flying in the wind, but she was in no mood to comb them. Her full attention was on the stone monster that looked like a sculpture at the moment.

call out!
A sudden scream was heard in the howling cold wind, and he raised his hand and cast a disarming spell on the stone's one leg.

After confirming that his spell had indeed broken a few stones, Harry roared,

"Run, Hermione!"

Then, without any reluctance, the two of them turned around and ran towards the teleportation stone gate.

Roar!
But before they could run a few steps, a deafening roar came from behind them!
Harry knew he shouldn't look back, but should get back to the portal as quickly as possible, but he couldn't help but look back.

As they expected, the previously silent stone giant immediately came back to life after being provoked.

The stone monster roared at Harry and Hermione, and the wind and waves caused by the roar even disrupted the trajectory of the fierce wind and snow and rolled in all directions.

Harry and Hermione lost their balance when the strong wind hit their backs, and fell forward. They each rolled over before regaining their stability.

In the chaotic gust of wind, Harry and Hermione cast horrified glances at the stone crutch.

The stone monster turned its head, and a breathtaking bright yellow light bloomed from the two fist-sized pits where its eyes should be.

Roar!
The stone monster roared again, and the strong wind pressure forced Harry and Hermione, who were in a defensive posture, to slide on the ice!
hum!
Then, the stone monster swung its huge arms, stirring the air with a buzzing sound that made people's scalps numb. Instead of moving forward, it aimed its simple arms without even palms at Harry and Hermione!

A terrifying feeling of being locked in immediately emerged from the hearts of the two.

"What does it want to do?"

It was winter, but Harry was sweating profusely.
"Why isn't it chasing us?!"

Hermione couldn't figure out why the stone monster made such strange movements, but she didn't need to think about it anymore, because the stone monster's attack was coming!

Woo! Woo! Woo!
Suddenly, the end of the stone monster's arm lit up with the same golden light as its eye sockets, and then fist-sized stones emerged from the light. The stones flew through the air, making a sharp whistle that pierced the eardrums, and attacked Harry and Hermione with great force.

"Get out of the way, Hermione!"

The rapidly enlarging black shadow in his sight gave Harry a frightened look.

This thing is not the big dung balls they avoid in gym class, which will only leave bruises if hit by them.

When they were hit by these stones, their bodies would be scattered all over the place!
What’s even more terrible is that at this critical moment between life and death, Hermione was stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected the stone monster to throw stones at them!

Without saying too much, Harry pushed Hermione beside him hard, and with the help of the reverse force, he also escaped from the attack range of the stones!
Bang, bang, bang!

Dozens of egg-shaped stones came crashing down, instantly turning the smooth ice surface into a rough walnut. The shattered stone and ice chips hit Harry's face, causing him so much pain that tears almost came out.

However, before Harry could escape death, he was horrified to find that the horrible stone monster clumsily turned its arms and aimed at him again!
Woo!
With a chilling whistle, the stones attacked again!

"Armor protection!"

Harry, sitting on the ground, knew he had no chance to get up and escape. He could only fight hard, so he raised his wand and yelled.

"There are many obstacles!"

Hermione, who was pushed aside, also figured out who the stones were aimed at, and she also screamed to protect Harry.

The Obstacle Spell successfully slowed down the deadly stone pebbles, and in the end, Harry saved his life with his Shield Spell!
"This stone monster doesn't move at all!"

After overcoming the second wave of attacks, Harry immediately jumped up from the ground. "The traps we dug don't work at all, Hermione, do you have any other tricks?!"

"I was thinking, look out, Harry, it's going to attack you again. There are so many obstacles!"

Pop, pop, pop!

After being slowed down by the barrier spell, the stone eggs hit the magic barrier of the armor spell with a loud noise, just like a typhoon hitting a thin piece of glass.

Harry's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. In the biting north wind that seemed to never stop, Harry yelled incoherently,

"Why is it only coming for me?!"

“I think that’s because.”

Hermione shouted,

"It was your attack that woke it up just now. If I attack it as well, maybe I can make it change its target and wait, Harry!"

Hermione raised her wand, ready to attack.

"Don't, Hermione!"

Harry had a determined look on his face, his eyes ready to die.

"Just let it come to me!"

"Don't be silly, Harry!"

Hermione yelled a little madly,
"If I don't attack, how are you going to tear it down!"

Cough
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Harry's pale face.

At this time, the stone monster moved again. It still stood in the same place, but bent down awkwardly.

Boom!

A deafening roar and a sudden shaking of the earth occurred at the same time!
Seeing what the stone monster had done, Harry's face turned pale, and Hermione also had a horrified expression.

The stone monster roughly thrust its arms into the ground, and the ice surface cracked. Then, a block of ice roughly as big as Hagrid was easily picked up by the stone monster!
"Run, Harry!"

Hermione's screams made the audience outside the venue, who were worried about their fate, cover their ears and show painful expressions.
"But where should we go?"

The violent way the stone monster attacked really shocked Harry a little, he stammered.

"Let's get out!"

Regardless of the danger, Hermione rushed to the locked Harry and grabbed his wrist, and the two of them ran towards the portal like crazy.

Fortunately, they had originally planned to deal with the stone monster near the portal, and they were not far from the portal!

Boom!

The blast generated by the giant ice block falling to the ground helped them and directly lifted the two out of the secret realm!

Well!
After rolling out of the secret realm, the two men rolled a long distance in the soft snow before they finally stopped. Harry let out a suppressed cry of pain and climbed up despite the pain all over his body.

"Damn it, that stone monster really wants to kill us!"

Harry cursed under his breath.

Hermione also struggled to get up from the ground. Her hair and face were covered with snowflakes, and the look of shock was still on her pale face!
At this time, Viktor and Cedric's teams also fled from their respective secret realms.

The same thing is that they all look dusty and dirty.

The difference was that Victor's sportswear was full of holes and there were bloodstains on his face, as if he had been cut by something sharp.

"These damn bastards!"

As soon as he left the secret realm, Victor started cursing as if he had suffered some injustice.

Cedric and Luna rushed straight to the nearby gentle slope. Their clothes were completely wet and had frozen into ice. This further consumed the energy of the bright red smoke.

The two were so cold that they couldn't speak. After they regained their warmth, they exhaled heavily and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other.

Judging from the situations, the two teams and the tests they have gone through are not the same. (End of this chapter)
