Chapter 16: I am Lord Voldemort
The next obstacle was flying keys, charmed by Filius Flitwick. For someone of Alexander's caliber, dealing with it was super easy. He flew in the air and caught the door's key. The rest of the keys tried to attack him but all of them got burnt to nothingness as soon as they came close to him.
The trio just looked at the show with awe and pure worship in their eyes. Harry was having second thoughts about following Dumbledore. After all, Alexander was the only one who trusted his words and also actively helped him in the situation of need.
As soon as he landed back on the ground, the trio surrounded him.
"Professor, how did you fly like that? Is that a new spell?" Hermione asked with stars in her eyes.
Alexander ruffled her curly hair and laughingly said "Haha...Yes, dear, I created this spell. But you can not use it right now as it requires a lot of magic power. Don't worry, I will teach it to you later... Now, let's open that door"
Hermione enjoyed the pat on her head and then followed him.
"Okay, let's see what's behind this door... Oh, a life-size chess board... Who wants to play some chess?" He jokingly asked.
"Wow, this is just like the one me and Ron were playing in the common hall. I think we need to defeat this if we want to go any further." Harry exclaimed.
"Yes... we do have to defeat it but that doesn't mean we have to play. After all, in the end, they are just some magic imbued stones and magic can be overpowered"
