Chapter 230 228. Madago Cat
"We can't stay here any longer, we have to find a way to leave!"
Neville was very calm. He looked at the stairs that were still going up, and said in a serious tone.
"The more that Sir doesn't want us to leave this tower, the more we have to leave!"
Ron frowned and looked at the stairs that seemed to never stop.
"But we can't fly like Jon. The only way to the exit is this staircase. How do we get there?"
The five fell into silence for a while. They were all thinking of a solution, but they didn't have any good ideas for a while.
Hermione pursed her lips. She looked at the fast-moving stairs, which looked like chains of ecstasy. For some reason, she thought that at the beginning of this year, Jon would rescue each of them no matter what. that day.
She was already prepared to commit suicide in advance. At the moment Dolohov hung her in the hallway, Hermione knew very well that there were only two paths waiting for her in the future.
One is to be cleaned of memory, like those senior students, to be a slave from the heart, and the other is to die.
Better to be a slave than a humble dog, she would rather die!
Just when she was determined to die, the boy who claimed to be a Hogwarts professor did not violate his promise of "another Hogwarts professor" never lying, and in the eyes of everyone in that castle Under the circumstances, he was rescued.
The feeling that someone can rely on is amazing, and it is also very memorable.
But Hermione was never a girl who was willing to be a parasite, she didn't want to be protected by others all her life, she didn't want to have to hide behind others all her life.
So after coming to the carriage, she worked harder, absorbing knowledge like a sponge, and didn't expect to be able to be alone like that boy, at least she could not become his burden.
She kept her eyes on the sliding stairs, and when the other four were at a loss what to do, Hermione suddenly spoke.
"As long as a plane is added to the right angle of the stairs, a **** can be constructed! We need a board, a board that is big enough, as long as we sit on the board, even if the stairs continue to go up, we can also use gravity to keep going up. slide down!"
Neville's eyes lit up immediately.
"Good idea, Hermione!"
He turned around immediately, and without stopping for a moment, split the curse and removed the door panel of the floor they were on.
This board is big enough for five of their underage students to sit on.
Luna raised another question.
"But there are dozens of floors away from the first floor. The faster we go down, the faster we go down. When we finally rush out from the stairs, no one can bear the force."
Hermione drew her wand, she said softly.
"Jon said, in addition to reminding me not to forget the natural sciences I learned in Muggle school, I must also bear in mind that I am still a wizard. You are all wizards, and when something rushes towards you at an extremely fast speed , there is actually a very simple spell that counteracts its speed."
Li was the first to react.
"Blocking Charms! Blocking Charms can help slow us down!"
The width of the door panel is just narrower than the width of the stairs. There is no gap between the entire spiral staircase from the top floor to the first floor. However, considering the obstruction of the corners colliding with the handrails of the stairs, Hermione still suggested that the four corners of the door panel All the corners are cut off to form a smooth arc.
After making all the preparations, they did the final countdown together.
"Three, two, one!"
The five of them let go together, and placed the door panel, which had been lightened by the floating spell, on the constantly moving stairs, and then quickly sat on it together!
The stairs that kept going up like an elevator added a force to the overall downward-sloping door panel. This force, together with gravity, began to slide down slowly after Hermione and the others sat in front of them!
The speed of sliding was not fast at the beginning, but as the inertia increased, their downward speed became faster and faster, and soon exceeded the original speed of the ladder itself!
The strong wind blew all of their hair. Hermione was at the back of the door, her long chestnut hair fluttering backwards like a flag. As she slid down, she kept observing the floors they were constantly passing.
"It's that ranch! Floor 17! We're already past floor 17!"
She had to increase the volume to remind Neville and the others.
However, at this moment, a few inconspicuous black shadows suddenly jumped out of the corner of Hermione's eyes!
She couldn't help feeling an extremely bad premonition, because at this moment she suddenly remembered the slightly weird places they found when they were observing the entire tower!
Black cat!
There are a lot of black cats in this tower!
"careful!!"
She suddenly issued a warning to Li who was sitting at the front, and when her sharp voice shouted from her throat, those black figures had already gathered in front of the stairs, blocking their way!
The boys sitting in front, Lee, Neville, and Ron, all three reacted very quickly. When Hermione yelled, they immediately held their wands and pointed them forward!
"All petrified!"
"Swoon!"
"Knock back at full speed!"
Their spells were released extremely smoothly, and three dazzling red rays of light instantly illuminated the entire surrounding space.
But the black figures standing in front of them didn't have any intention of avoiding them.
The three spells hit them accurately, and then, under the shocked gazes of Neville and the others, those black cats whose bodies became thick at some time and whose eyes glowed blue, not only did not suffer any spell effects, The impact, in the next second, like a dandelion being scattered, it split into countless ones!
In less than a second, the exponentially increasing number of black cats completely blocked their descending corridor, while the black cat at the front flew up into the air and pounced on the Neville trio at the front of the board!
"Many Obstacles!"
The moment the black cat flew up, Hermione cast the Impediment Curse without hesitation, but the target of the spell was not the black cat, but the door panel that had been sliding down under them.
Those black cats who looked gentle and petite at first, but now looked like little leopards erupted with great force, coupled with the momentum of the sliding door, directly knocked the boys sitting in the front out!
