The live stream hadn't started yet, but more and more people were already gathering around.

Even Gryffindor, which has recently had the most friction with Slytherin, gathered a large group of people.

It's so cool that Neville from his own house is challenging Lester from Slytherin.

The twin brothers jumped around excitedly, shouting, "Neville beat us to it!"

"Otherwise, we would have gone there to take a look today."

Ravenclaw House students, unusually, emerged from the library and common room, glaring at Slytherin while waiting for the live broadcast.

Slytherin's methods to win the match disgusted them; they were there to see Lester make a fool of himself.

As for the Hufflepuff, the badgers treated the live stream as pre-holiday entertainment, calling out to their friends and gathering in a circle on the fourth floor with food and small stools.

Suddenly, the once bustling fourth floor fell silent, and an image appeared on the dusty screen, showing Lester's figure.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lester Bide!" Lester greeted the camera with a smile.

"Many people are curious about what's in the room on the fourth floor. To find out, I'll now go with Malfoy and Neville to investigate."

Inside the fourth floor, everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

"The Alohomora!"

To demonstrate Neville's role, Neville skillfully used a lock-picking spell to open the door, Merpeople in.

As soon as Lester entered the room, he heard a slow, leisurely singing voice and three snoring sounds.

"Lumos!" A ball of light appears, illuminating the entire room.

"What a huge dog!" Malfoy exclaimed, instinctively drawing his wand.

Inside the room, a large dog with three heads was fast asleep, drool dripping from its mouth and forming a small stream on the ground.

Many people outside felt a tremor in their hearts.

"My God, Lester is in danger! There's such a big dog inside!"

"Serves him right. Who told him to bully our Ravenclaw House students? Now he's getting his comeuppance."

"Wait, there seems to be a tunnel next to that big dog, and the door is open."

Lester looked at the sleeping Three-Headed Dog and whispered, "It's alright, he's asleep now. We'll sneak over."

Lester crept to the entrance of the tunnel, cast a Levitation Charm on himself, and then jumped down.

Malfoy and Neville imitated him quite well and followed suit.

The tunnel was pitch black below, but Lester cast another Lumos, illuminating it.

"My God, what is that?!" Malfoy, playing the straight man, exclaimed as if he had never seen anything like it before.

Beneath the tunnel, countless tentacles wriggled, waiting to mercilessly strangle their prey once it arrived.

"Devil Vine!" Neville's voice was deep and magnetic. "It thrives in shady places and fears sunlight; Incendio will be enough to break it."

"Incendio!"

As soon as the flames appeared, the Devil Vine scattered and fled, making way for the three of them.

Lester has just passed through and entered the next room.

In the next room, countless keys were flying through the air, and two flying brooms were carelessly tossed on the ground.

"Someone was just here!" Lester said, his face grim, feigning concern as he spoke to the camera.

Outside, the students gathered on the fourth floor couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this expedition turned out to be so exciting, and it seems there were some unexpected events.

When I got to the door, sure enough, it had been opened, and a key was still on it.

The next room was completely dark, but as soon as Lester stepped in, the room suddenly lit up, illuminating an astonishing scene inside.

They were actually standing on a large chessboard, and Lester could tell at a glance that it was Wizard's Chess's Chess board.

On the chessboard, several enormous pieces stood before them, but the game had already been finished, for the king, symbolizing the leader of the red side, had been smashed to pieces.

Moreover, at the feet of the king's remains, a figure was huddled up.

"Ron Weasley, what are you doing here!" Neville was secretly delighted, but outwardly appeared extremely anxious. "I've told you before, you're not good at learning, but never try anything crooked. There's nothing in the Chamber of Secrets that can improve your IQ."

If things had gone according to plan, Ron Weasley would have been hailed as a selfless hero by Dumbledore, but Lester wouldn't let him have his way and had to ruin his reputation.

"What an arrogant guy!"

"Ron Weasley Weasley, I know him, he's got ambitions that reach the sky but a fate that's as fragile as paper."

"Just yesterday, I could hear him secretly cursing others in his dorm room. Now he's probably getting his comeuppance."

The students outside all looked grim. Ron Weasley already had a bad reputation, and now he was labeled as arrogant.

After settling Ron Weasley in casually, Lester went to another doorway.

"What's that smell? It's so stinky!" Malfoy asked, pinching his nose.

"You'll find out when you go in."

Lester strode in.

As soon as he entered the room, a pungent stench hit him, causing Lester to frown. There, in the middle of the house, lay a Troll, unconscious.

"Potter's henchman was just outside, so Potter must be inside," Malfoy analyzed.

"But Potter simply doesn't have the ability to defeat a fully grown Troll, unless..."

Malfoy and Neville exchanged bewildered glances. All they knew was that they had come here to climb the ladder by stepping on Harry and Ron Weasley's reputations.

But now something has clearly gone wrong; another person has infiltrated Hogwarts!

"Lester, could it be that vampire monster?" After returning from the Forbidden Forest, Lester told Malfoy everything that had happened.

Lester shook his head. "You'll find out when you go in!"

Carefully stepping over the unconscious Troll, Lester and his companions successfully entered the next room.

The room was empty except for a table with seven vials of potions on it and a roll of parchment with a riddle written on it.

In front of the door, there was a flame.

Malfoy, quick as a flash, picked up the parchment and read aloud, "..."

"My God, what kind of question is this?" Neville was completely dumbfounded, hardly believing his ears.

Even Lester, a top student from China, couldn't figure out for a long time what this question was trying to get him to do.

However, Lester didn't struggle for long, because he had a simple and straightforward solution.

"Arresto Momentum!" Lester shouted, plunging his wand into the ground.

An invisible ripple flashed by, and the raging fire went out as if it had lost its fuel.
