Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"20!?"

Harry and Ron's eyes widened at this huge number - from the time they entered the maze until now, they had only gained 3 points of magic power in total!

"Then the chinweed you just gave us..."

And Harry was surprised at this moment to realize that the cheekweed Neville gave them was actually a task prop.

This made him feel a little guilty.

"It's ok."

Neville, however, was very relaxed: "There are a lot of sacweeds here. If you spend ten more minutes, you can find two more... and most people don't recognize sacweeds, nor do they know how to pick them. Speaking of which, if you haven't completed the task yet, why not join me?"

"This mission is a multiplayer mission. We can split the magic points equally."

Upon hearing this, Harry and Ron were a little moved.

But after a moment, they both shook their heads: "No, this belongs to you."

They really wanted the magic points and were happy to help Neville.

However, they all knew very well that they themselves knew very little about magical plants, and it was even more impossible for them to collect cheek grass and water flower.

Therefore, if they really agreed, it would be equivalent to stealing Neville's magic points.

They don't know what others think, but they would never do such a thing.

"Let's go do other tasks!"

Harry said flatly.

"Is that so?"

After seeing their reactions, Neville didn't force it.

He just thought about it, then reminded: "I also know there are two tasks - there is a magic chess task in front of the wooden house not far to the south."

"Magic chess?"

Ron and Harry were stunned, but Ron's eyes lit up: "What is that?"

"A special board game—I saw that the pieces looked like a lot of magical creatures... I'm not sure."

Neville was obviously well aware that Ron was very good at board games, so he mentioned this.

As for Harry...

"There's a two-man flight mission to the north. When I left, Senior Wood was still there, meeting someone for a test, but there's currently no one who can fly the entire flight with him... Fred, George, and the others aren't here."

"I'll go right away!"

Harry said immediately - chess? He didn't have the brains for it.

But when it comes to flying, he is very experienced.

So, Harry and Ron immediately planned to go to the mission location that Neville mentioned, but they were stopped by Neville.

"Thirty minutes, remember?"

Neville said helplessly.

So Harry and Ron shrank back again.

The three of them soaked in the river and did nothing for a while.

Then...

"I say, the challenges in this maze were all designed by Ryan, right?"

Ron spoke up.

"...I think so, right?"

Harry said uncertainly, "Ryan said that he was solely responsible for the entrance exam for the Pavatu Club from start to finish."

"That's it!"

Ron clapped his hands.

"If Ryan designed something like magical plants or chess, I could understand that, but flying?"

Ron said exaggeratedly: "Lian Elias designed the flight test? Please - don't make me laugh!"

Then, Harry and Neville looked at each other.

"Hahahaha!"

They laughed and the air around them was filled with joy.

"..."

And on the viewing platform outside the maze.

Hermione tried to hold it in for a long time, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

This made Cedric and Qiu Zhang a little confused - they didn't pay attention to the situation on Harry and Ron's side.

Dumbledore also smiled at this moment. Professor Marchbanks beside him seemed to ask him with some confusion, and he whispered something to her.

All of this made Ryan feel malicious.

What's wrong with this world? Does being able to ride a broom mean you can do whatever you want?

His cat can even transform and fly. Did he ever brag about that?

"Very good, very good - Ronald Weasley."

Ryan muttered cautiously.

And it was obvious that what was happening to Harry and the others was not happening in just one place.

Inside the maze, countless tests are taking place.

Or fight against the devil's vine and take out the entangled gems.

Or join forces to help the Moon Crazy Beast break the boulder.

Or fighting a giant horned lizard.

Or combing the feathers of a hippogriff and cleaning the ticks off its body.

Or find the potion that best suits the current situation.

"Charms, Intelligence, Agility, Herbology, Magizoology, and Potions... Great! This maze is great!"

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but admire it at this moment.

In Hogwarts, where the traditional education model is prevalent, this was obviously the first time she had seen such a test method.

She could see the shining points of countless little wizards, and it was obvious - from the changes in their emotions, whether excited or disappointed, it was not difficult to tell that they were also enjoying it.

"Unfortunately, it's only used for testing..."

So Professor McGonagall also felt a little regretful.

This maze is huge and almost all-encompassing. The mystery of the various complex spells contained in it makes even master-level wizards marvel at it.

"Professor, you don't have to worry about that."

Ryan smiled.

"This maze certainly won't be just a one-time thing."

joke.

Although he had authority over the Forbidden Forest, which was the basis for him to complete this maze - with the authority over the Forbidden Forest, he could even change the terrain of the Forbidden Forest at will and turn groundwater into real rivers.

But other things do not come out of thin air.

For example, all the various magic powers and magic props - they were all made by him having Nico's alchemy workshop work overtime, while completing the operation of the Magic Tricks Workshop.

God have mercy on me, there are several alchemy puppets in the alchemy workshop that have been working non-stop and are now exhausted and have problems!

so...

"This 'Hogwarts Maze' will be open every Saturday, and all young wizards can enter it."

“At the same time, most of the club activities of the members of the Pawatu Club are also held here.”

“You don’t have to worry about it being used once and then disposed of.”

Ryan said so.

"So, if my Transfiguration class requires a maze..."

Professor McGonagall spoke softly - it was obvious that she had new ideas about her teaching philosophy.

"Of course, you can use the maze."

Ryan nodded as a matter of course.

Professor McGonagall then nodded in satisfaction and sat down again.

Not long after she sat down, Professor Flitwick came over and said, "Well, about the maze, I think..."

"Oh, Professor—of course you could also use..."

So, Ryan temporarily put aside the fact that his flying skills were damaged by the crickets and started dealing with the professors.

And soon...

Inside the maze, Harry and Ron ended their short rest.

Considering that Neville had already dived back underwater to collect gillweed, they did not disturb him and left.

After they left the river, they wished each other good luck and went their separate ways.

Ron headed towards the south where Neville mentioned, and soon saw a wooden house.

Just as Neville said, several little witches gathered in front of the cabin.

Ron recognized one of them immediately: "Lavender?"

That's right.

The little witch was Lavender Brown, Hermione's roommate.

"Ron?"
