HP's Silence is Gold

Chapter 29

The cold, damp air whistled past Draco's ears, and he fell, and fell, and fell, before plopping into something soft, it was too dark for his eyes to adjust to the light , fumbled around until his fingertips felt slippery, his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, and he groped again.

"Enough touching?" Linna stood still and couldn't move. She was entangled by something soft on the ground. She wanted to warn the people above, but Draco would jump off the top right after her. .

Stretching his hand back like an electric shock, Draco quickly got up from Linna, and before he could stand still, Hermione's voice came from above. "Linna, Malfoy, how are you doing?"

Draco just raised his head to answer Hermione, but was stopped by Linna at the side. "Hold on."

"...Damn it!!" Just when Draco was wondering, some wet plants were caught under his feet. He wanted to break free from the plants wrapped around his feet and move to the other side, but his thoughts followed. There are always some differences in reality.Circles and circles of plants coiled on the ground, stretching out snake-like tendrils, approaching the motionless Linna and the moving Draco, and soon, they were overwhelmed by the long vines. Haunted to death. "Oh, what the hell is this??"

The harder Draco struggled, the tighter the vines clung to him.

"Don't move." Linna is fine, as long as she doesn't struggle, the vines won't do anything to her.

Stopping struggling, Draco calmed down his rapid breathing, and watched the vines on the ground climb up from his legs to his chest little by little. "The vines are very difficult to entangle. They probably want to entangle us here."

"En." Responding, Linna unhurriedly drew out her wand, chanted a spell, and waved the wand, and soon a flame as bright as the setting sun shot out from the head of her wand .

Within seconds, the vines that had clung tightly to her and Draco let go of their tendrils of their own accord.Draco patted the clothes on his body, cursed secretly, Linna was not as embarrassed as Draco, she raised her head to the hole above, and shouted: "It's ok."

As soon as the words fell, Hermione and the others jumped off the top one after another. Except for Neville, who was a bit lacking in motor skills, the other three were on all fours, and landed firmly in front of Linna and Draco.

Seeing Neville lying on the ground who was particularly aggrieved, Hermione shook her head helplessly and said, "Neville, you shouldn't be following us at all."

"You shouldn't violate the school rules. If you are caught by Professor McGonagall and Snape, Gryffindor will be even more unlucky." Neville said, staring at Hermione.

"Longbottom, if you are really found out, you Gryffindors are not the only ones who are unlucky." Draco was beside him, and he gave Neville a smirk.

"Stop wasting time here, let's continue on our way." Hermione helped Neville up from the ground.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked.

"This way," Harry said, pointing to a stone corridor.

The corridor was quiet, except for their own footsteps and the sound of water dripping slowly along the wall, there was no other sound.Linna and the others were very careful with every step they took, because the corridor went downhill. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they heard soft rustling and clanging sounds coming from the front.

"Hey, what's that noise?" Ron asked softly.

"It can't be a ghost?" Hermione couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on her arms.

"Maybe it's a troll." Neville guessed abruptly.

"Longbottom, put away your ridiculous speculation. If it's really a troll, I don't mind letting you become its target." Draco glared at Neville, who couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth. Also said such an unlucky guess.

Draco's words successfully silenced Neville, he moved quietly, and came behind Hermione.

"Light." Linna saw a faint light ahead.

"Go on." Harry clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to continue to follow him.

Soon they came to the end of the corridor. In front of them was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling. Countless little birds, as bright as jewels, flapped their wings in the room. Come and fly.

"Wow, these birds are so beautiful." Hermione couldn't help sighing, after all, girls like this kind of glittering creatures.

"Hey, buddy, what do you think, if we go through this room and open that heavy wooden door across the way, will they attack us?" Ron asked anxiously, staring at the birds.

"Not at all, stupid Weasley," Draco sneered.

"Do you want to fight? Malfoy!!" Ron rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to rush over.

"What an idiot." Draco looked at Ron with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"You!!" Ron couldn't help it anymore, he must beat up Draco, otherwise it would be difficult to calm the anger in his heart.

"Enough, Ron, Malfoy is right to say you are stupid!" Hermione stopped Ron angrily and said, "Look up and look at those birds carefully, don't think about what's there or not."

Hermione's words were useful. After grinning at Draco, Ron looked up at the birds flying around. After staring at them for a long time, Ron still didn't find anything wrong with the birds. "Isn't it just shiny?"

Ron's words made Hermione touch her forehead, and she patted his shoulder feebly, saying, "It's my fault for expecting you."

"It's really stupid." The smile on the corner of Draco's lips became more and more smug, the Weasley family's youngest son was indeed a big fool without a brain. "Look carefully, Weasley. They are keys. Keys with wings. If you want to open the heavy wooden door on the opposite side obediently, you must use them to open it."

Although Draco's words were sarcasm, but Ron only had to take a break from the food. Who told the other party not to say anything wrong.

"Tch, there are hundreds of keys flying up there, can you be sure which one it is?" Ron pouted and spoke again, and he walked towards the wooden door.

"We can catch them with the broomsticks here." Harry pointed to the row of broomsticks in the right corner of the room.

"We're looking for a big antique key, probably silver and shaped like a doorknob," said Ron, who was looking carefully at the lock, turning to Harry.

"Ok!" After making a hand gesture, Harry and Draco ran to the right corner, each grabbed a broomstick, kicked their feet vigorously, and rose into the air. The two looked at each other and quickly rushed into the The group of dense key arrays.

"I'm going too!!" Every boy had a dream of flying in his heart, and Ron was no exception. He also grabbed a broomstick and joined Harry and Draco's camp.

Seeing the three of them flying back and forth in the group of keys that dodged extremely fast, Hermione looked at Neville with envious eyes and said, "Neville, why don't you join them?"

After hearing Hermione's words, Neville lowered his head, frustrated. "I... I'm stupid, I'll cause trouble for them."

"..." The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, Hermione was powerless.

How could Neville's character be disabled?

"That one!" Linna suddenly raised her finger and pointed to the big silver key with drooping wings.

Following Linna's pointing, Harry and Draco saw a key with sky-blue wings and feathers all turned to one side. Judging from its appearance, it was obvious that someone had grabbed it roughly and forced it into the keyhole. .

"Ron!" Harry called.

"Understood." Ron understood, and he rushed towards the key quickly, but the tragedy was that he hit the ceiling with his head too fast.

"..." Seeing that Ron suffered from the key, Harry fell silent.

"Potter, you stop it from above, Weasley, you stay below, don't let it fly down." Draco said suddenly.

"Hey, why should I listen to a Malfoy." Ron was dissatisfied with the way Draco gave orders.

"If you don't want to waste time here, shut up!!" Draco glared at Ron viciously.

After listening to Draco's words, Ron wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hermione below. "Oh, stop arguing. If it doesn't work, it would be a shame to put me, Lena, and Neville, and the three big boys can't catch a key with a broken wing. And, Ron, there is Why don't you argue with Malfoy here, why don't you all work together!!"

His face flushed again, and Ron swallowed the words aggrievedly.He followed Draco's words and came to the bottom to guard, while Harry blocked the top to prevent the key from running around. Seeing that Ron was calm and that the key had nowhere to hide, Draco shouted: "Okay, that's it." Now!!"

The actions of the three were tacit, and soon the key was caught by Harry who was the closest. He grabbed it and quickly came down, and stuffed it into the keyhole of the wooden door, and turned it hard to the right. After hearing a 'click—', the door lock bounced open, and the key quickly escaped from Harry's clutches, regaining its freedom.

"Okay." Harry looked excitedly at everyone behind him.

Seeing him give a thumbs up and grinning, Draco, who was still flying in the sky, inexplicably felt that this smile was very painful.

But, forget it, just be able to open the door.

Thinking, he and Ron flew down from the sky, put the broomstick back in place, and the six of them continued on their way.

The second room behind the wooden door was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything, but when they stepped in, the room was brightly lit. After lighting up, the scene imprinted in their eyes was too shocking.

"This... this is..." Ron opened his mouth wide, staring at the ground under his feet in disbelief.

At this time, they were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard, with black chess pieces in front of them. Those chess pieces were taller than them, and seemed to be carved from black stones. They were at the other end of the room, facing them. Yes, some white chess pieces.

But these are not weird, it is really strange that those chess pieces are alive! !

I'll go, what a strange place this is! !

"It seems that to pass the level, you must win them." Draco was a little excited, and he had a great interest in this chessboard.

"..." Harry, Hermione, and Lena were speechless.

This they know.

"..." Ron and Neville were stunned.

Obviously they are out of condition.
