The Triwizard Tournament has started as scheduled. However, since the competition is a large-scale cross-school, cross-country and cross-magic world event that runs throughout the school year, there will be a considerable period of time between each event, and the warriors will be given time before the competition. They need a longer period of time to prepare, or is it cheating? !
Therefore, it will take some time before the first project officially starts, and the Warriors still have a lot of time to prepare for it.
No matter which way you look at it, from the perspective of Harry and Hermione, it seems that these so-called warriors are all cheating?
After all, they knew that whether it was Principal Karkaroff, Madam Maxim, or even themselves and Hermione, all of them had learned about the content of the first project of the Triwizard Tournament, and they were all trying their best. He was struggling to defeat or deal with a fire dragon... But since this matter was fair to all warriors, he and Hermione soon felt relieved and were trying to find a way to deal with the first one. method of a competition event.
"Hey! Ron!"
"Ron? Just wait for me first..."
No, after today's Potions get out of class, Harry immediately called out to the man who had been wearing a dark face since class started and had been reluctant to speak. He had even been talking to him in the past two days. Ron, his friend who loves to ignore him.
"Hey!"
"Ron, it's like this. I want to know, are you good at or know how to deal with a fire dragon? A big one, a female, that can breathe fire. It should be the kind that is nesting in a nest and hatching eggs..."
At this point, Harry suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
Because he found that their good friend Ron was squinting his eyes slightly at this time and glaring at him with that incredible and sullen look, as if he was doing something heinous or unforgivable?
"Shut up, Harry!"
"You teamed up with Hermione to trick me. Not only did you use a method unknown to me to deceive the Goblet of Fire test, you won the title of Warrior and represented Hogwarts... But now you actually plan to cheat. You learned about the content of that ancient and sacred game before it started, and you still want to ask me how to deal with a female fire dragon?!"
"you……"
"I really misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be such a person?!"
"You don't deserve to be a Gryffindor. What's the difference between you and the dark wizards in Slytherin and those little snakes?"
Ron's voice became louder and louder. It was obvious that he was still resentful of the deception and teasing behavior of his two good friends, and he could not let go of the bad breath in his heart no matter what!
However, when he realized that Professor Snape, who was about to leave the classroom door in the distance, seemed to have heard something and immediately turned his head to look at the two of them, he quickly held back the unhappiness he was about to say. Knowing that it was due to anger, jealousy, or other emotions, he hurriedly lowered his voice and stopped talking.
"I didn't! Ron, I swear I didn't!"
"Hermione was named by Professor Anne. As you know, Professor Anne has a very good relationship with Hermione. She has the ability to interfere with the Goblet of Fire. She is no weaker than Professor Dumbledore!"
"But Ron!"
"Please believe me, I really didn't sign up at that time. If I knew that method, I would definitely tell you then! Moreover, all the players now know about the fire dragon, not only I know!"
"Including Hermione, that Fleur and Krum, they all know!"
After glancing at Snape who was looking towards the two of them in the distance, Harry ignored that guy, but lowered his voice and nervously explained to Ron.
Because it was recess time now, and Potions class was over today, he didn't need to worry about Snape's thoughts anymore, and there was no rule in the school rules that said he was not allowed to be in the corridor after class. Discuss things!
"..."
Ron did not speak, but continued to stare at the 'former' friend in front of him with that indifferent look. He seemed to be thinking about whether what the former friend in front of him said was worthy of his trust. ?
"..."
"What did you want to ask just now?"
Finally, after waiting for a while, Ron made his decision and spoke.
However, judging from his expression, Harry had no idea what he was thinking at this time...
"ah?"
"Oh! Yes... that's it. I want to ask you if you know how to deal with a fire dragon, a female one that is said to be still hatching eggs?"
I don't know why, but seeing Ron's expression now, Harry actually felt a little scared? But after thinking about it, he still bravely told the other party what he wanted to ask for help.
Because Hermione had already gone to see Professor Anne, but she didn't get any reasonable and effective advice, at least not for him and Hermione. After all, they couldn't just burn those things out like Professor Anne said. Burn the fire dragon?
"..."
"Sorry, Mr. Potter!"
"Like you, I don't know how to deal with a fire dragon... You should discuss this kind of problem with Miss Granger. She is a warrior of Hogwarts just like you, and she uses despicable little tricks. I have obtained the title of warrior through various means, but I am just a clown who is laughed at and teased by you, how could I possibly know?"
"I am not a warrior, nor am I qualified to be one. Dealing with the fire dragon should be left to you warriors!"
"That's what you should do. How am I qualified to participate, don't you think?"
In the last moment, Harry almost thought that Ron had forgiven him, but in the next second, the expressionless face of the other party suddenly turned into a cold and unfamiliar face that was incomprehensible to him, and seemed to be mocking. After answering his questions in an eccentric manner, he turned around and left.
"!!"
"Ron, you..."
I never expected that my good friend, Ron, who had experienced many dangers with me, would now be angry with me and Hermione because of the Triwizard Tournament?
This made Harry lift it up to hold the other person's hand, but he couldn't help but lower it again at the last moment...
He really didn't know how to explain it to Ron until now, because he could swear that he and Hermione did not hide the registration from each other, and he and Hermione were both confused before. Yes, it was only now that I figured out that someone secretly signed up for them. Therefore, there is absolutely no way that they knew a certain registration method or trick, but they hid it without telling the other person!
But unfortunately, now Harry knew that their friend Ron would definitely not be able to listen to his explanation, at least not until the other person's anger had subsided?
"ah!"
"Teach, professor..."
Harry, who was a little frustrated and was about to leave, had to stop again because he found that Snape had already stood in front of him, so he had to grit his teeth and say hello politely. .
"Potter..."
"I heard the conversation you just had with that Weasley..."
"Humph! I really didn't expect that our famous savior Harry Potter, one of our heroic warriors at Hogwarts, now actually wants to find someone to help him cheat?"
When he walked out of the classroom and passed by Harry who was stunned, of course, Snape stood still and spoke sarcastically.
"..."
! !
Harry was a little angry. He wanted to yell at Snape and tell him loudly:
Now that all the warriors know the content of the first project, there is nothing wrong with him finding a way to deal with the fire dragon in advance. It cannot be considered cheating at all!
Because the current first project is already an open-book exam in a sense, so what's wrong with him reciting the answers or looking for key points in advance?
And he knows that now, whether it is Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or even Hermione, they are all here now. He is trying hard to find a way to deal with the fire dragon, so it must be a normal and reasonable behavior for him to ask Ron for help now, and it is not as unbearable as the other party said!
Moreover, Harry also knew that Ron's brother Charlie was a wizard who trained dragons in Romania. Asking Ron that kind of question was equivalent to indirectly asking an expert on dragon training, which was much worse than him and Hermione. It's much more useful to wander around the library and flip through those thick books.
but,
Now facing Snape, the 'dark wizard', Harry, who knew what he was talking about, did not refute even a single word. He just stared at the other person with his silent eyes in anger and shame. He was not stupid enough to contradict a professor with words at this time, especially in front of a greasy old bat who hated himself and was always targeting him!
"Potter boy!"
"I'm warning you, with your current abilities, never try to deal with a female fire dragon that lays eggs head-on. You will never be able to defeat it, let alone control it!"
"If I were you, I would definitely spend more time on how to escape from its gaze or use what I am good at to complete that ridiculous competition project, instead of blindly thinking about how to deal with an adult The fire dragon?"
"snort!"
As if taunting or reminding him, Snape took a deep look at Harry and snorted, then shook off his iconic black robe and turned towards the distance. He hurriedly left the corridor and quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the slightly gloomy Potions classroom of Hogwarts.
"you……"
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Harry opened his mouth. Just when he was about to whisper angrily, he was stunned and came back to his senses.
Because, he vaguely felt that... that annoying old bat, that dark wizard Professor Snape, while the other party was taunting and ridiculing him, he seemed to have accidentally reminded him of some way to complete the project?
However, he really doesn't know whether the other party said it on purpose or accidentally...
Anyway, Harry said that he would definitely not be grateful to the other party. At most, he would just curse less? Therefore, he now has to go back and have a good talk with Hermione. As for Ron's problem, I'm afraid he can only postpone it until later. After all, they have more important things now, and they must go all out, but Can't bring shame to Hogwarts.
And when Harry was about to find Hermione, here in Hogsmeade...
In this village of pure wizards located near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not too far from Hogwarts Castle, which is made of rocks at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, A little girl is wandering around in the village outside the magically protected wall.
"..."
????(????｀??)??????
This village has a history as long as Hogwarts. According to legend, Hogsmeade was built at the same time as Hogwarts Castle a long time ago. However, it did not directly form a village at that time, but a village. A house where a wizard called 'Hangis' came to live here to escape Muggle persecution? Later, with the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, more and more wizards chose to live in Hogsmeade for business or other reasons, and this gradually formed what it is now.
According to the books collected in the Hogwarts school library and the book "Magical Historical Relics", Hogsmeade was also the headquarters of the rebels during the Goblin Rebellion. It can be said that it has a lot of "historical heritage" of!
Due to certain safety reasons, Hogwarts School stipulates that only students in the third grade or above can go there for fun on specific Saturdays, but a guardian must sign the permission on the responsibility letter. .
However, since today is not Saturday, apart from a few pedestrians, there are no students at all in this Hogsmeade wizarding village! Therefore, a little girl wandering around on the street is still a bit eye-catching, but fortunately, the villagers or shopkeepers in Hogsmeade basically all recognize the professors of Hogwarts, so they taught the little girl You don’t really care too much about appearing here?
"..."
(??_??)
"Really, it's been so long, why haven't they come yet?"
????(?????????????)???????
Little Annie, who was wandering around, was a little impatient...
Because this Hogsmeade village is not big, it is just a dozen or twenty residential houses or shabby houses with thatched roofs like shops built along both sides of the road. She can just walk around in a few minutes. In addition, it was not Saturday, the candy shops were not open, and she didn't want to go to any of the smelly bars, so after going back and forth twice now, she really had no place to go. .
"Eh?"
∑(??△｀)? !
However, when Annie was about to teleport directly to London's Knockturn Alley to find trouble with the hateful shopkeeper, suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something else unusual...
"hey-hey……"
??乛??乛??
"Tibbers, you said...they must be some bad guys, right?"
(????ω????)☆
The original Hogsmeade did not have many people, because it was a small village with only so many houses. Except for a few wizards who passed by or had business dealings with Hogwarts, there were only a few people who came and went. There are only so many people coming and going, and there are very few strangers who come here specifically.
But……
Today, for some reason, there suddenly appeared a lot of weird aunties with weird expressions, wands hidden in their sleeves, and pretending to be drinking something?
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"Then, let's go back first..."
(o￣ω￣)○
Anne definitely wanted to know why those weirdos came to Hogsmeade, but she didn't want to run over and ask directly, but was prepared to find out on her own!
So, she was going to pretend to go back to Hogwarts school first, and then...
Hey hey hey...
??乛??乛??
After thinking about it, little Annie picked up her bad bear Tibbs, hummed a cheerful tune, and skipped along the path towards the gate of Hogwarts School.
(...)
ε=(????｀●)))Alas
(Tibbers didn’t need to guess too much to know that soon, someone was definitely going to be unlucky...)
