Harry looked back at Taylor, who was holding a wand and staring closely into Norbert's eyes, and swallowed silently. To be honest, at first he stood closer because he wanted to help Taylor block Noble. Boys, in front of girls, especially beautiful girls, will always subconsciously protect her.
Even if you are trying to be brave.
Of course, in some cases, it's not worth protecting.
And sometimes, there is no need for protection.
The former requires distinction between right and wrong.
The latter is now.
For the first time, Harry knew that Taylor's strength was not weak at all. He had no idea about the curse just now. This is obviously not a magic spell that first graders should know.
"Can you hold on?"
Luke looked at Taylor and asked.
Taylor stared at Norbert calmly, without any fear on his face. She nodded, indicating that she could handle the situation here.
Luke looked at Harry who was a little stunned and said, "Harry, hide behind Taylor if necessary."
After saying that, he ignored Harry, whose face turned red instantly. Instead, he held his wand, waved it vigorously, and then walked towards the other side of the corridor.
As Luke waved his wand, a gust of wind blew up around him. Rushing in the other direction. Harry even felt difficulty breathing for a moment.
Taking two deep breaths, Harry looked at Luke's back. Harry knew that Luke had gone to find the person who was plotting against them behind their backs. So he became even more worried. After all, no matter what, the person there must be an adult wizard. An adult wizard is even more difficult to deal with than this young dragon.
And if the opponent is most likely Professor Quirrell, can Luke really beat him?
"Luke, he..."
"Don't worry, he does things in a measured way."
Taylor had already heard what he was thinking, and then said: "You leave from the back now and find anyone among Filch or Professor McGonagall. I can hold off Norbert, but it can only be Just for a while.”
Noble looked at the guy in front of him who was not afraid of him. He bared his teeth and stared at Taylor eagerly. From time to time, he would open his bloody mouth and spit out a few clusters of flames.
Taylor didn't know whether this was a threat or a test. But she knew she couldn't show any fear now. No matter how intelligent a fire dragon is, it cannot be higher than a human being, not to mention that the one in front of him is just a young dragon.
It is indeed difficult for a normal little wizard to deal with, but in her eyes, which has been 'trained', although this thing is difficult to deal with in such terrain, it is not completely unstoppable.
After all, the baby dragon's hearing is... very good.
Moreover, Professor McGonagall was nearby and as long as he acted quickly enough, the worst result would not occur.
After hearing what Taylor said, Harry felt his face turn redder and wanted to retort or say something else, but the facts told him that it was better not to act like a child.
Why should I help Taylor and be used as human bait?
So he nodded vigorously: "Taylor, be careful, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and ran back without hesitation. He didn't know the location of Professor McGonagall. Instead of searching randomly, it was better to go to Ron who was waiting for their news at a fixed place, and then use the Marauder's Map to go there. Search with purpose.
Taylor followed Harry's movements with his peripheral vision, and was relieved when he saw Harry leaving towards the back. With Harry around, she never dared to go all out.
After all, although it was said that Harry, the only child of the Potter family, knew almost nothing about the wizarding world, she was still unwilling to take this risk.
She really didn't want to risk her and her grandmother's lives on something like this.
Then she looked at Norbert with eyes that became more determined and calm. The wand was tightened, and the aura on his body became stronger and stronger.
Noble is still in a stalemate with Taylor. He is now a little confused and a little angry. Firstly, it was because he had been hurt just now, and secondly, the nameless fire did not go away. Norbert wasn't quite sure why, but after most of the good smell dissipated, his sanity seemed to be returning.
But this requires a relatively long process after all.
Finally, Norbert couldn't help but kicked his legs hard on the ground, and rushed towards Taylor with his whole body close to the ground.
Taylor didn't panic and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Norbert felt as if his head had been hit hard by Hagrid's fist. My body suddenly stagnated, and I felt dizzy and nauseous for a while.
Before it could react, a sharp thorn on the ground suddenly pierced Norbert's jaw.
Taylor saw that the ground thorns he created using his transformation technique knocked Norbert over, but they did not even pierce his dragon scales. He also had a headache for a while.
Why are there creatures like Fire Dragon with extremely high magic resistance and physical resistance!
But complaints are complaints, Taylor is not stupid, and he still has to deal with it now.
"Throat lock!"
Taylor quickly connected with the magic spell, causing Norbert, who was opening his mouth to spit out flames, to close his mouth tightly.
There was fire seeping out of Noble's teeth. Finally, Noble was completely angered by Taylor. So far, nothing Taylor has done has really caused any actual harm to Noble. The biggest threat is the shout at the beginning. That made Norbert feel uncomfortable and he had the idea of retreating. But the actions that followed not only made Noble understand that the other party's harm to him was not as strong as he thought, but also made Noble feel aggrieved and angry from the bottom of his heart. Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable for Norbert not to take the initiative.
Taylor pursed her lips tightly. She didn't know that something like this would happen, but there was no way. Her strength was still too weak. It would be great if the various magics just now could bring harm to Norbert.
Gotta get stronger, gotta get stronger, gotta get stronger...
"Roar!
! "
Norbert's jump from a high place was the same as when he attacked Harry before. Taylor subconsciously used a flip in the air, but the moment she raised her wand, Norbert's wings suddenly spread horizontally, and she originally flew forward. His movements suddenly stopped, and he flipped in the air and was empty.
At the same time, Norbert opened his mouth, and a ball of flame sprayed towards Taylor's head.
Taylor suddenly squatted down and rolled to the side to dodge, while shouting: "Get down!"
So the invisible sound waves condensed into lines again and pierced straight into Noble's ears. Noble felt dizzy again. Although it is much better than last time. But it still fell from a height.
After falling to the ground, Noble shook his head, swayed his body, and then looked at Taylor. The boy's hole that should have been golden seemed to be overflowing with blood. His breathing became heavier and an angry scream came out of his throat.
It's a pity that he is still too young and can't even express his filial piety.
Taylor lay on the ground, thinking inexplicably. When she saw Norbert rushing toward her, she endured the pain, took out her wand, and shouted directly: "Thunderbolt explosion!"
A ball of light like fireworks shot towards Norbert. Noble's sanity had completely disappeared at this time. If the initial anger was caused by those inexplicable smells, then the anger now has nothing to do with the medicine. But it was simply caused by such an attack.
Taylor's robe was burned through a lot of places by the stray sparks, and his left arm was bruised from his hasty dodge just now. There were also scratches on his face.
It was obviously just a brief battle, but Taylor already looked quite embarrassed.
To be fair, this was her first time experiencing a battle between life and death.
The thunderbolt explosion hit Noble, knocking him back again. But that's all. This was a new spell, one that Tyler hadn't learned very long ago, and it wasn't learned the way Luke taught it.
So when she uses it now, the power of this spell is only that much.
Norbert screamed again unwillingly. Taylor stood up from the ground, her face looking very angry, but the next moment, her expression returned to calm again. He stared closely at Norbert, who was on the verge of going crazy across from him.
"I'm not afraid of you, just come here."
The next moment, Noble rushed straight towards Taylor.
Tyler pulled out his wand: "Thunderbolt explosion! Thunderbolt explosion! Thunderbolt explosion!"
Norbert dodged the first blasting curse, was hit in the leg by the second blasting curse, and hit his head by the third blasting curse, but this did not stop the explosive Norbert from rushing towards Taylor. past.
The originally bright golden eyes of the child were already covered with bloodshot eyes. It looked more like a crazy dragon than a young dragon.
The fear in Taylor's eyes flashed. Looking at the bloody mouth heading towards her and the fishy smell that followed, she put the wand against her throat.
Now if you really use this trick, don't think about keeping any secrets.
But... it has reached this level, and protecting the secret is definitely not more important than saving one's own life.
And the person coming over later is Professor McGonagall. Since Luke trusts Professor McGonagall so much, it should be okay for her to give Professor McGonagall a little trust.
And at the moment when Taylor was about to recite the curse, a red light shot from a distance, directly hitting Noble's body and knocking Noble far away.
Norbert let out a shrill scream, and the scales on his body were broken into pieces. Blood flowed out from the wound.
Taylor watched as Norbert flew out and had a close contact with the wall. He was a little distracted for a moment and even forgot to put down the wand against his throat.
There were footsteps behind me and Professor McGonagall exclaimed: "Miss Barbara, Taylor, are you okay?"
Professor McGonagall hugged Taylor directly from behind, with panic in her eyes.
In the arms of Professor McGonagall, Taylor finally came to his senses. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were red for a moment, and his eyes were filled with water. But still no tears fell.
Professor McGonagall looked at the little girl distressedly. Although this person is not from his own college, he is still a very outstanding student of his.
"Poor child, poor child, cry if you want."
Professor McGonagall gently stroked Taylor's blond hair.
Taylor trembled, and then said in a somewhat aggrieved muffled voice: "But Professor, crying can't solve the problem."
Professor McGonagall was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what this child had gone through, but no matter how he thought about it, this didn't seem to be a normal train of thought.
To develop this abnormal way of thinking requires abnormal experiences.
Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall hugged Taylor tighter.
At this time, Harry finally arrived late, wearing rough clothes. He really couldn't keep up with Professor McGonagall who was going full speed. It can only be hung far behind.
Seeing that Taylor was still intact and lying in Professor McGonagall's arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
"It's all... bullshit..."
He cursed in a low voice, but he didn't know who he was scolding.
But not even a moment after sitting down, Harry suddenly jumped up and said to Professor McGonagall: "Professor, Luke. And Luke, he went to deal with the person who made Norbert lose control."
Professor McGonagall's expression was stagnant, and Taylor recovered from his fear and said to Professor McGonagall: "Professor! Go help Luke! The other party is very dangerous!"
Professor McGonagall gently released Taylor. Taylor swayed twice, then stood firm, and urged again: "Professor, I can do it. Let's go find Luke first!"
Professor McGonagall was about to leave without thinking, but Luke's voice suddenly reached everyone's mouth.
"Stop moving, I'm back."
The voice was calm, without too much emotion.
But the three people present all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and a feeling of relief began to permeate the small staircase.
Luke stepped out of the shadows and glanced at Taylor with a little heartache. Taylor smiled back.
Luke nodded at Harry. Then he looked at Professor McGonagall: "Sorry Professor, I was too arrogant this time."
Professor McGonagall was ready to scold Luke severely, but at this moment, she heard the sound of water drops falling to the ground.
She looked towards the source of the sound, and a drop of blood fell from the tip of Luke's finger to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"You are hurt?"
Professor McGonagall suddenly became nervous.
"It's just a minor injury. That guy was more seriously injured than me."
Luke shook his head, and then looked at Norbert, who was sobbing by the wall. There was a flash of anger in his eyes, but it soon turned into helplessness.
"Professor, I'll go up first and give this dragon to the person who wants to pick it up."
Before Professor McGonagall could get angry, Luke immediately said: "This is Hagrid's problem, but you also know, Professor, that Hagrid is really not suitable to be involved in something like this again."
Professor McGonagall's anger could be clearly seen on her face, but she finally nodded: "Okay, if there is any debt, I will go to Hagrid to settle it."
Harry could hear the burning anger and knew that Hagrid would probably have a difficult time in the future.
But looking at the injured Luke and Taylor, and the soreness emerging from his own body.
He suddenly didn't want to tip off Hagrid...
