Did He Drink the Fountain of Youth?

After passing the Three-headed dog and Devil's Snare, Noah and the others arrived in a place that was hardly any different from a basement.

It was hard to imagine that they were clearly on the eighth floor, and the floors below were not abandoned either, yet there was such an enormous space here!

Clearly, someone had used Space magic to alter this area!

In this magical world, research into Space magic and Time magic had actually already begun.

Research into Space magic in particular was widespread. Noah knew that Space magic had seemingly already been put to use during World War II.

Wasn't the American Ministry of Magic in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hidden within a separate space?

Moreover, in the future, all kinds of spatial products would appear one after another. Noah was very interested in such things.

As for Time magic?

Perhaps because there were simply too many uncertainties surrounding time, even distinctions like higher and lower dimensions existed. Many things could not be clearly explained through either physics or magic.

And at present, the only product of Time magic was a pocket watch.

"Forget it, why think so much? Still, whether it's Space magic or Time magic, they're both so fascinating."

Noah smiled. Indeed, both Space magic and Time magic were far more alluring than natural magic!

However, the requirements just to get started with those two branches of magic were terrifyingly high. They were not something a first-tier wizard like Noah could understand.

But just because he could not do it now did not mean he would never be able to, right?

Noah was deeply interested in this kind of special magic, especially Time magic and Space magic. It was not as though he had never fantasized about becoming the master of time or space in the future!

Of course, the idea was wonderful, but the process would certainly be fraught with uncertainty. Noah could only dream about it.

After all, he was not Ciri, who possessed Elder Blood, nor was he Master Gu Yi, holding the Time Stone.

As they walked through the gloomy hall, Harry and Ron did not seem to be in high spirits. They both looked rather jumpy as well.

What Harry had just gone through had truly not been pleasant. He had even begun to regret why he had insisted on showing off.

If Hermione had not cast a spell to save him, Devil's Snare would probably have killed him by now.

The memory was simply too terrible, so terrible that Harry did not want to recall it at all!

Suddenly, he heard a series of sounds coming from above. Harry instinctively tensed up, even pulling out his wand.

Ron, standing beside him, was startled as well. The two of them truly seemed like frightened birds now.

"Did you hear that? There seems to be something making noise up there!" Harry looked at Noah and the others nervously.

"Of course we heard it. Couldn't you just look up?" Noah gave Harry a strange look. Why had this kid suddenly become so timid?

Could he really have only noticed such a loud noise now?

And there was a broom floating right ahead of them. Wasn't it practically telling him what to do?

Noah scratched his head. Had they dealt such a blow to those two that they were about to lose all confidence?

"Um, sorry, I..." Harry awkwardly rubbed his nose. Clearly, he had only just noticed everything around him.

Countless flying objects with keys attached to them flew overhead. They looked sharp, and one of them seemed to have damaged wings. The key hanging from it was also distinctly different from those on the other flying objects.

Harry immediately knew which one to choose and what to do, but after the blow from Devil's Snare, he did not have the confidence to volunteer.

He had embarrassed himself enough already, and Harry did not want to make a fool of himself again. So he directly turned his gaze toward Noah.

"Uh, why are you looking at me? Don't you want to give it a try? You're Hogwarts' youngest Seeker, after all." Noah was somewhat surprised.

"But you all don't seem to care about Quidditch at all, and don't you have an easier method?" Harry remained entirely unmoved. He did not want to be the fool again.

"Fine, there is indeed a better way. But I thought you planned to try it, so I didn't say anything. After all, you were brave enough to face Devil's Snare without knowing anything about it." Noah shrugged as he took out his wand.

Dealing with these flying objects was not difficult at all. In fact, nothing they had encountered along the way had been particularly challenging. Any upper-year student could have easily crushed every obstacle here!

After all, this was a trial prepared for first-year Harry. Dumbledore would not dare make it too difficult.

But Dumbledore likely never imagined that Harry would not be frightened by these obstacles at all, but would instead be crushed by the blow dealt by Noah and the others. It could only be said that even among students in the same year, the gap was obvious.

"In that case, then—"

"Leave this to me."

Noah had just been about to say that this was actually quite simple when Kate interrupted him.

Kate pulled out his wand and rapidly gathered magic power. Soon, faint points of light began to glow around his wand.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

With Kate's low shout, his wand flashed with silver light at the same time. The magical flying objects filling the air all froze the instant they touched the silver glow, then plummeted one after another and crashed headfirst into the ground.

After doing all that, Kate simply put away his wand. His casual manner made it seem as though he had merely done something utterly unremarkable.

Harry and Ron both swallowed when they saw this. The sight was simply too shocking for them!

Although Petrificus Totalus was not an advanced spell, they had even begun learning it in their first year.

But casually petrifying an entire swarm of flying objects like Kate had done was no easy feat!

Those things were constantly flying around and were difficult to target. There were also too many of them to cast the spell on one by one.

The simplest method, then, was a large-area spell, and the magic power it consumed would be considerable!

Yet looking at Kate's utterly unconcerned expression, Harry and Ron knew that he clearly had not suffered any excessive depletion!

Even though this was not the first time they had felt this way, they still could not help complaining inwardly—What kind of monster is this?

Could a first-year student really do this? Had he secretly drunk the Fountain of Youth or something?

Unfortunately, Kate had no idea what those two were thinking. If he knew, he would certainly tell them disdainfully: You call this drinking the Fountain of Youth? You clearly haven't seen someone even more terrifying.

That Noah guy is the one who truly looks like he drank the Fountain of Youth!
