Chapter 1644 (1/2)

The three ran across the hall, and not far from the wall was still leaning against a broom, which should have been brought in by Quirrell.

Some of the naughty keys launched a harassing attack on the three, but they were knocked down by Hannah and Susan with ”except you weapon”. They gave Hermione time to observe the keyhole.

”Two inches up and down, about 0.5 wide, the lock is blue, and the key is likely to have blue patterns or decorations.” ”We're looking for a big key, bigger than any other key!” Hermione said with her finger on the keyhole

”Over there!”

Susan, who was wearing glasses but had the best vision, found the key that met the requirements. It looked like she had been roughly poked into the keyhole not long ago. Her wings were drooping and her feathers were messy.

As Hannah kept fighting back, she said nervously, ”Chloe may have flown up with a broom and grabbed the key, but none of us is good at this sport.”

Hermione turned around and pulled out her wand. She recalled the mantra:

”we don't need brooms. On the train to Hogwarts, Professor Wilson taught me a magic and asked me to practice more, saying that it would not be qualified until something from my hometown could be summoned in the castle. That goal seems to be out of reach in a few years... But I've been practicing this spell all the time. Here comes the key with the most disordered feathers

The top of her wand spurted some brilliance, and drew a clear track in the air. As soon as her wrist shook, the key, though still struggling, was dragged by an invisible hand and fell into Hermione's hand.

The girl clenched the key and directly opened the lock. The three people flashed into the door and let the other keys who wanted to save the big key hit the door, making a crackling and raining sound.

”Whew, it's a little bit exciting.” Susan took a breath, propped her back against the door, took off her glasses and wiped the sweat from her head.

”Yes.” Hannah also bent down to support her knee and continued to cast the spell in a short period of time. If it wasn't for the wild ”tossing spoon” exercise in physical education class, she estimated that her wrist would not be able to withstand: ”I don't know, Hermione, how did you keep calm in the face of the troll yesterday?”

Hermione just smiles and doesn't know how to answer it. Is it cool to say that a blank brain? She doesn't think so.

She looked up and was about to say something, but she was a little stunned.

The second room, which had been dark at the time of entering, could not see anything, but when I looked up again, the lights suddenly lit up, illuminating a shocking scene.

They were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard with black pieces in front of them, which were higher than them, and seemed to be carved out of black stones and the like.

At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white chess pieces. No matter which side they were, those towering pieces had no facial features.

According to the black and white chessboard, it looks like Muggles' chess, but this is wizard's chess. Although the rules are the same, it doesn't need to use hands. The pieces will move to the target square according to the player's command.

When the pieces are eaten, they will be knocked over by the opponent's pieces, and then pulled out of the board.

The wizard can even play alone and fight the board itself.

At this time, the other two girls also gasped, straightened up to see everything in front of them, and soon realized what it was.

”Is this wizard chess?” Hannah frowned. She didn't like to play with this kind of thing. She might as well plant flowers at that time: ”do we need to win the chessboard itself to pass?”

Hermione bit her lips and thought for a moment: ”it's not just wizard's chess, but also” deformation mantra ”and” magnifying charm ”. You see, the door behind us is so small that these pieces more than three meters high can't be brought in.”

”It should be Professor McGonagall's guard. What should we do?” Susan sniffed, and she wasn't very good at chess.

”If it's Professor McGonagall... I'll ask.” Hermione went to the castle at the corner of the chessboard and patted the tall pieces: ”do we need to knock down the white one to pass? To replace the same number of pieces as us? Join the chessboard? ”

The tall stone tower shook like jelly, and bent down to show approval.

Hermione took the opportunity to observe the door behind the opponent's white chess. It was more like a stone gate. There were no chain holes. I'm afraid the ”unlock mantra” had no use.

But did Chilo really waste so much time and get into the next level by playing chess?
