World's Most Dangerous Profession

Similarly, Professor McGonagall's gentleness and kindness are also reflected in the challenges she sets up.

Although those chess pieces, which are taller than a person, look intimidating, this level is actually the easiest of all the levels, even easier than Professor Sprout's Devil's Snare!

As we all know, Wizard's Chess can be played by the player, as you can see by looking at the black pieces. Therefore, in this level, the player can actually do nothing.

Even if no one knows how to play Wizard's Chess, it doesn't matter. Just follow the White King's commands and make a few moves on the board, and you can win effortlessly! How about that? Isn't it super easy?

What? You're asking why Ron got injured in this level?

That's because he's bad at cooking!

Ron's injury was entirely his own fault. He was terrible at the game but insisted on playing the hero, thinking that being able to beat a few elementary school kids meant he was a pro. In the end, he got himself into trouble.

However, this is one of Ron's rare moments of glory, and his courage is commendable, so let's give him a round of applause.

Clap clap clap~

This was Bell's applause as he stood beside Ron's "body" after Harry and Neville had left the room.

The fifth level: Quirrell's Troll.

There's not much to say about this level. As a double agent, Quirrell completely ignores Dumbledore's hints, adopting an attitude of "I'm an idiot, I just don't understand your point, so what!"

Dumbledore certainly wouldn't do anything to Quirrell. Quirrell was a very important tool; he needed to keep him around to level up the young the Chosen One. So, Dumbledore didn't interfere at all with Quirrell's arrangement of a Troll.

Then, Quirrell got himself into trouble.

Even if the Troll isn't difficult to deal with, he still has to deal with it himself. Putting everything else aside, just imagine locking a Troll in a closed room for days—the smell would be many times stronger than Quirrell's garlic-smelling scarf!

So perhaps he wasn't pretending to be mentally challenged, but actually was?

The sixth challenge is Snape's riddle, the one Harry just brute-forced his way through.

Bell guessed that Dumbledore wanted to give Harry a logic puzzle to help Harry reminisce about his lost youth, taking into account Harry's many years of education at Muggle school.

However, it was clear that Dumbledore had failed. Harry not only failed to recall the awful times he spent at school being chased and beaten by his cousin Dudley, but he also grew even more furious with Snape.

As for how long it will take to solve this problem?

That's not a concern. With Dumbledore's own arrangements in place, Quirrell will definitely not get the Philosopher's Stone. So even if Harry doesn't get it until tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter; no one will disturb his adventure.

When Bell saw the riddle on the parchment and saw Harry and Neville staring at each other, completely bewildered, he started preparing to sleep on the floor, figuring he wouldn't be able to go back to his dorm that night.

However, Harry surprised Bell once again, proving with his actions that nothing is insurmountable by brute force! Nothing!

Harry's performance was clearly not what Dumbledore had expected. He was even Gryffindor than the average Gryffindor.

Since we can't solve problems with our brains, why don't we just throw our brains away and brute force our way through?

So Harry just went ahead and did it anyway.

Harry was lucky; what he drank wasn't a heat-resistant Potions, nor was it poison—it was just a bottle of alcohol. Poor Neville, on the other hand, unfortunately chose a bottle of poison.

Of course, while it's called poison, it's actually harmless and definitely won't kill anyone. But given Professor Snape's deep love for Harry, it's quite normal for him to stay in a safe hospital for two or three months. After all, Dumbledore is always causing trouble, so keeping his distance is for Harry's own good.

The heart of a sycophant is pitiful. Bell silently gave Professor Snape a thumbs up in his heart and took this as a warning, determined never to be a sycophant again!

So how is Harry now that he's drunk a bottle of wine?

The answer is: nothing happened.

As mentioned at the beginning, these levels pose absolutely no danger. Don't be fooled by the purple and black flames at the entrance; they're just ordinary flames, and not even that hot. They've just been given a cool Transfiguration to make them look impressive.

It was just a thin layer of flame; even a Muggle could grit their teeth and get through it without any serious injury. So it was even less of Little Wizard with magical powers; at most, their skin would be slightly red and their hair a little frizzy, but a good night's sleep would fix everything.

Bell was puzzled. He knew that Dumbledore had set up these challenges to train Harry, because he firmly believed in the Prophecy that only Harry could defeat Voldemort in the future.

But is Dumbledore really sure these things can produce a the Chosen One? Bell seems to think they'll only produce an idiot.

Of course, Bell didn't care at all whether Harry would be fooled or not; he was just a bystander watching the show.

At the same time, Bell also felt a little emotional. To say that the most dangerous profession in the world is definitely "the protagonist's friend".

The three of them went on an adventure together. Ron was knocked unconscious, Neville drank poison and lay down, but Harry didn't lose a single hair from beginning to end.

This is so funny! Bell couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bell did not follow Harry through the flames.

Although he could use the Disillusionment Charm, and was confident he could even fool Quirrell, the fluctuations of the flames were something Bell couldn't eliminate when passing through them.

So, for safety's sake, Bell did not enter the last room, but stayed where he was, using his Magic Perception everything that happened after the flames.

After Harry passed through the flames, he was surprised to find that the person standing in front of him was not Snape, whom he had always thought he would see, but Professor Quirrell!

Through his conversation with Professor Quirrell, Harry was shocked to discover that Snape, whom he had always thought was plotting to kill him, had actually been trying to protect him all along!

Snape was actually a really good person!?

And the pitiful Professor Quirrell, the Professor Quirrell who was threatened and intimidated by Snape, turned out to be Voldemort's henchman, a big bad guy!?

No matter how hard Harry found it to believe, the facts were undeniable. He was completely under Quirrell's control, forced to listen to Quirrell's endless rant and explanations of everything he had done.

Quirrell circled the Mirror of Erised, a mirror in which one could see everything one desired, several times. But he still couldn't find the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry, meanwhile, stood there deep in thought, trying to figure out how to look in the mirror without Quirrell noticing, so he could use the Mirror of Erised to find out where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden.

As for what he could do even if he knew? How could he possibly know such a question? He was just an 11-year-old Little Wizard!
