At midnight, they left the Devil's Snare, half an hour later than scheduled.

If they hadn't been woken up by Fluffy's snoring, they probably would have fallen asleep here that night.

It has to be said that Fluffy ' snoring is really loud, like thunder, deafening.

Professor Sprout planted the devil 'Devil's Snare Devil's Snare in a row of large flowerpots, and William, without having to dig any holes, simply packed it all up and took it with him.

Easy peasy.

He didn't leave a single plant for the professor either.

Before leaving, the twin brothers used their wands to leave a message on the wall: Guess who we are?

The two also left the Slytherin snake symbol nearby.

William left behind the most iconic graffiti: Snape was here.

Cedric ran to the corner of the wall and secretly drew a heart, leaving the letters DC inside.

As for Qiu, she wrote a row of Chinese characters: Do good deeds anonymously!

Hermione was more complicated. She specifically found a slightly larger blank space and wrote her advice on the wall.

I hope Professor Sprout will not plant such a dangerous plant as Devil's Snare here, and I urge her to strictly adhere to Hogwarts rules and protect the safety of the young wizards.

His tone was just like Professor McGonagall's.

She also wrote a suggestion for Professor Snape, hoping that he would not show so much favoritism towards Harry in the future and would give other students a chance to answer questions.

She also told Professor Quirrell that not bathing could spread diseases, and gave several examples she knew, urging the professor to seriously consider the matter, turn back from his misconception, and not continue to be so stubborn.

In the end, she left a name... an ordinary, unremarkable first-year wizard.

If William hadn't urged her, Hermione was prepared to cover the entire wall with writing.

Kid, you think this is the Headmaster's Wall? Do you think Dumbledore look at it?

After leaving the Devil's Snare, the group walked along a stone corridor, which was the only path they could take.

Aside from their own footsteps, the only other sound was the slow dripping of water from the walls.

"Did you hear anything?" Fred suddenly asked in a low voice.

William nodded; he seemed to hear soft rustling and tinkling sounds coming from ahead.

"Could it be a ghost hiding up ahead?" Qiu asked. "The voice sounds like Bloody Baron from Slytherin."

"It doesn't sound like him... It sounds more like the flapping of wings," Cedric said after listening intently for a while.

The group quickly walked to the end of the corridor, where they found a brightly lit room with a high, vaulted ceiling.

Countless tiny birds, as radiant as jewels, fluttered their wings Accio around the room.

But those weren't birds; more accurately, they were countless winged keys.

There was a heavy wooden door opposite the room. The group walked over, and Hermione pulled the handle; the door was locked.

Cedric tried his Alohomora Charm again, but it was to no avail.

"It seems the key is one of them!" Fred thought for a moment and said.

"It really is a challenge deliberately set up by Professor Dumbledore. What a twisted sense of humor," George shrugged.

"But there are hundreds of keys on there!" Cedric looked up at the sky.

"We need to find a large, antique-looking key—maybe silver, shaped like a doorknob," Hermione analyzed, staring at the peephole.

Qiu looked around every corner of the room, but found nothing.

"That shouldn't be the case - since Professor Dumbledore has set up a level, there's no reason why he shouldn't prepare tools to capture the key." Qiu said doubtfully.

"This means the level isn't completely finished yet," William analyzed.

"What can we do then?" Cedric frowned. "With so many keys flying around, I'm sure I could catch them if I had a flying broomstick."

Cedric is Seeker for Hufflepuff and is exceptionally skilled.

Hermione thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I have an idea! We can use Devil's Snare! With the power of the Devil's Snare vines, we can definitely knock down all the keys!"

William nodded and said calmly, "A good idea, but it's not that complicated. We're wizards!"

Since he's a wizard... he naturally has to use magic to defeat magic.

William's body surged with magic, and he rapidly waved his wand, softly uttering, "Rain Tornado."

Water droplets flew out, forming a huge Rain Tornado around William. With a flick of his wand, the Rain Tornado pierced the sky like a cascading silver river.

Hermione's eyes widened, because William's curse seemed very similar to the one the black-robed wizard in Gringotts had used to defeat the dragon with a single blow.

The only difference was that the other party used stalactites, while William used water.

However, it's only similar; in the eyes of a true master of magic, the two are worlds apart.

The black-robed wizard was undoubtedly using some kind of Dark Magic, powerful enough to kill the fire dragon in one blow.

William simply invented this little magic trick based on the way the enemy attacked that day.

Suddenly attacked, the keys with sky-blue wings huddled together and crashed into the Rain Tornado, abruptly halting the torrential downpour in mid-air.

William's magic intensified, and instead of falling, the Rain Tornado bounced back upwards, colliding with countless keys.

Water droplets kept colliding with the keys, bouncing off the blue wings, and keys kept falling off.

William's wand spun again, and Rain Tornado Water Tornado, completely piercing through the densely packed keys.

The young wizards stared in disbelief.

William immediately put away his wand, his brow furrowing slightly.

The spell's attack effect is still a bit lacking. He can turn the water droplets into water swords when he gets back, which should significantly increase his attack power.

That makes sense, though, since he originally intended this spell to replace the showerhead and give Bobocha a bath.

Every bath was like a death sentence for Bobocha. William could use this spell to chase after it while bathing it without getting splashed with water.

Hermione walked over calmly and quickly found the key she needed among the pile of keys.

She had seen William use far more powerful magic, so she naturally thought this was rather ordinary in terms of power, merely for show.

But Cedric and his friends were different.

Cedric has decided to begin learning fighting techniques from William, just as William learned from Professor Flitwick.

"William, you should have taught me," Fred said grumbling. "What a great prank spell! I can easily get everyone's clothes wet."

If I knew this spell, I would definitely give Professor Quirrell a good talking-to during Defence Against Dark Magic class.

His scarf smelled terrible.

William thought it was a good idea; Professor Quirrell really should pay more attention to his personal hygiene.

"But we've taken all the keys, are we really sure it's okay?" Qiu asked worriedly.

The ground was covered with keys, but none of the keys that had been flying in the sky were gone.

"It's alright, Professor Flitwick will probably cast the spell again," William said with a smile.

This must be Professor Flitwick's doing. William has faced him many times and knows him inside and out.

"But Professor, this level is too easy. I think he probably added Fire-Making Spell and Doubling Charm to the key!"

This way, anyone who touches the key will burn and duplicate it, increasing the difficulty of finding the real key.

Professor Flitwick must have forgotten. If that's the case, William wouldn't mind sneaking over and adding a little something extra the next time he restores the magic here.

In any case, any wizard who can get past Fluffy must be quite powerful.

William flashed a "nuclear-sounding" smile.
