Chapter 80 - Chapter 74

Darkrai and Ceruledge Receive Their… Assignment

Keith, calmly sipping tea, called them.

Keith:

"I need you two to quietly follow Ron, Neville, and Seamus.

Protect them if it gets dangerous."

Darkrai froze.

Ceruledge tilted its head.

Darkrai (telepathy):

"Master… forgive my bluntness.

But is there not a more dignified mission?"

Ceruledge:

clang clang (translation: "Babysit the imbeciles?")

Keith:

"Yes. Just this once."

Both sighed.

Darkrai:

"…We obey, Master.

But if they do something stupid, I'm blaming YOU."

Keith smiled.

Keith:

"That's fair."

And they vanished.

🏃‍♂️🧨 The Stupid Trio Begin Their 'Heroic Quest'

Ron led the group dramatically.

Ron:

"Stay close, lads.

Dangerous magic protects the Stone."

Neville tripped over his robe.

Seamus set his sleeve on fire.

Darkrai, following in the shadows, was already tired.

🚪 TRAP 1: Fluffy the Cerberus — Now on "Puppy Level"

The room with Fluffy the three-headed dog.

But Dumbledore had "kindergartened" the challenge.

Fluffy was:

Asleep Wearing pink bows Listening to a lullaby Drooling on a stuffed sheep toy

Ron entered bravely, then:

Ron:

"AHHH A MONSTER!!!"

Fluffy didn't move.

Neville whispered:

Neville:

"He looks… cute?"

Seamus:

"Might adopt him."

They walked past him easily.

Darkrai facepalmed.

Ceruledge sighed sparks.

**🧵 TRAP 2: Devil's Snare — Difficulty: Level 0

("Hug Vine™")**

Dumbledore downgraded it to:

A harmless, fluffy plant That giggled when touched And tickled their ankles

The trio fell into it screaming.

Ron:

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"

Neville:

"It's… it's tickling me—AHH!"

Seamus:

"It's possessed!!"

Darkrai simply hovered and stared.

Finally:

Darkrai (telepathy):

"…Just stand up."

The boys stood.

Walked out.

Alive.

Ceruledge's flames flickered in disbelief.

🔑 TRAP 3: The Flying Keys — Difficulty: Baby Mode

The keys flew at the speed of lazy butterflies.

One bumped Seamus in the forehead, apologizing with a chiming noise.

Ron grabbed the correct key immediately.

Or rather:

The key got pity and flew into his hand.

Ron grinned.

Ron:

"I. Am. A. Genius."

Darkrai whispered:

"…This is painful."

♟️ TRAP 4: Wizard's Chess — Difficulty: Auto-Win Mode

Dumbledore had enchanted it so:

All enemy pieces surrendered immediately The board bowed when Ron stepped on it It said: "Congratulations, Young Hero!"

Ron puffed his chest.

Ron:

"See? Natural chess prodigy."

Neville:

"I think it cheated in your favor."

Seamus:

"Good. I hate chess."

Ceruledge placed a hand to its helmet like it had a migraine.

🧩 TRAP 5: Logic Puzzle — Difficulty: Toddler Tier

Original: A famous potion riddle.

Dumbledore's edited version:

"Which bottle says YES?"

The bottle literally had a giant glitter label:

"YES!"

Neville solved it.

Neville:

"I… I think it's this one."

Ron:

"Of course! I was just about to say that."

Darkrai muttered:

"…Sure you were."

🔮 The Final Door

The trio reached the final chamber.

Seamus raised his wand.

Neville gulped.

Ron announced:

Ron:

"Boys… we're about to become LEGENDS."

Darkrai whispered:

"…Gods help us all."

Ceruledge ignited its swords, ready in case things went horribly wrong.

(Which, statistically, was guaranteed.)
