“Are you ready guys?” Asked Harry with a calm expression.

He and his friends were sitting on top of the dragons’ backs and soon, everyone cheered as they were ready to finish this level, it was time to reach the door, however, it didn’t take too long for Harry to raise his wand, if they've learned something from this experience is that they needed to be careful.

“Get your wands ready and…GO!” Harry finally screamed and soon, they commanded the dragons to fly towards the door, they were flying above a forest.

Hermione was so scared right now, it didn't matter how many times she flew, she'd never stop being afraid of flying, however, she was managing to keep herself as calm as possible, it seemed like there was no alternative here, you either stay in this level forever or you fly towards the door, she could only try to pretend and swallow her fears before she launched herself towards the door alongside her friends with her wand ready in case something happens.

At first, they were happy because nothing was happening to the door and there was nothing impeding them from advancing, however, once they reached a certain point, the door started to move away from them.

“Fuck…” Harry muttered to himself with an annoyed tone.

This wasn’t good, however, he wasn’t going to let this stop him, so, he and his group of friends managed to convince the dragons to go faster, Hermione was fighting hard against herself to not scream due to the fear of falling because of the sudden acceleration.

Everyone was so focused on the door that they didn’t realize something was happening until it was too late, they weren’t alone, and it wasn’t Victoire let out a scream that they realized what was going on.

“Wasps!” Hermione and Victoire said with disgusted expressions.

“Not just wasps…Giant man-eating Wasps!” Charlie was as disgusted as the two British females.

Soon, they realized that an immense amount of wasps were following them not only from behind but also under and above them.

“Get your wands ready!” Lucero said trying to be as brave as possible.

“They’re flying bugs, don’t worry guys I’ve played enough Pokémon to know that electric and fire attacks will take care of them!” Harry said with a serious expression.

Hermione couldn’t help but feel conflicted about Harry’s logic, Charlie smirked just like Victoire and Lucero agreed with the fire attacks. In the end, they knew there was no way to escape here without taking care of the wasps, and soon, fire and electric spells were fired toward the giant insects just like Harry suggested, they were happy that they managed to get rid of lots of them easily at once.

The problem here is that when wasps are attacked they are able to call for reinforcements and it seems like they called for the whole nest to aid them and soon, more and more wasps joined in the attacks.

Now the group was completely surrounded by wasps, and it was going to be a matter of time before they got thrown by them or worse eaten.

“Think Harry…Think!” The Auror said to himself as he continued attacking the giant bugs as fast as possible.

“Oh, right…How could I be so stupid?!” Charlie said to himself.

Soon, he touched the head of the dragon he was riding, and he didn’t know why but he asked the creature to fire and surprisingly, the small dragon was able to fire something close to a flamethrower or at least that’s the way Harry could define the attack, it’s clear that this small dragon wasn’t able to cause as much destruction as the adult horntail that Harry faced during the second task of the tri-wizard tournament.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that this could be useful, and soon, Harry and the rest of the group did the same thing Charlie did and the wasps that were surrounding were churned in a fraction of a second, it seemed like the wasps finally realized the danger they were into, so, they started to retreat.

“Oh no, you don’t…You started this, you can’t run away!” Harry said with an angry tone and soon, he fired spells to stop the wasps from escaping alive.

In different circumstances Harry’s reaction would’ve been considered exaggerated, however, this time he was justified as the whole group was just as angry as him, and soon, the rest of the group joined him in his attacks and it wasn’t until the dragons put them on top of a hill, away from the trees that they realized that it was over and that the door was finally on the ground.

“Look, guys!” Hermione pointed at the door as she tried to regain her breath.

“That’s a fascinating symbol,” Lucero said as she analyzed the door for the next level.

It was clearly a replica of the solar system, but this made Lucero wonder what it had to do with the next test.

“Thank you guys!” Charlie said to the baby dragons as they flew away, clearly their mission was completed.

They were about to say something else, however, the voice in the sky decided to talk to them once again.

“Travelers…Congratulations on passing this level…You’ve managed to defeat the insanity that was placed on this level, however, the next levels are going to get harder, so, the dungeon masters will have mercy on all of you, no matter if you’re a descendant of the creators or not.

If you wish to go back to reality that wish will be granted and the most important thing is that you’ll get back the thing you bet before entering this place, you’ll suffer no physical consequences but take into account that you can get back to a different time from where you originally came from.

Still, all of you should be happy, you’re the first group of adventurers who have managed to get this far in this adventure, and that’s something you should feel proud of…

However, the next levels will get more brutal, so, it's time to make a decision…Do you want to continue or would you like to consider this the final level?” Asked the voice in the sky.

“I don’t know about you guys but…I want to continue, if any of you wishes to get back I will not be mad, after all, everyone but me has someone waiting for them out there,” Harry told his friends.

They discussed the proposal for a few seconds and they all agreed to continue, they had made it this far, and it would be a shame to give up at this point, they knew they had to continue through the levels until they found Bill.

“Sorry master but we’re going to keep going until we find the level in which our friend is currently in, we all know he’s in one of the many levels you’ve created,” Harry told the voice in the sky.

“But before going to the next level…Can we get some food, please? I’m starving after that ride on the dragons!” Charlie’s words suddenly made everyone remember their situation.

They’ve been in this place for the past few days…Or could it be hours? They weren’t sure about it, but what was clear was that all of them were starving, and surprisingly, the dungeon masters gave them a feast that sure reminded everyone but Lucero of the welcoming fests at Hogwarts.

Still, even if she didn’t attend one of the ICW-approved schools, Lucero was used to these kinds of feasts due to her grandma Lola who cooked this much every Sunday during the family gatherings. Harry and the group enjoyed the food so much that they felt like it was the best food they’d ever tasted.

They knew that the dungeon masters clearly made that food so delicious on purpose so they would stay in this place forever, they knew they shouldn’t be tempted by the food, so, as soon as they felt full, they got on their feet, it was time to face the next challenge.
