Chapter 176 Magic Gap (Catching Bugs)
"Fire dragon?" Cedric's gray eyes were filled with fear that he was trying to hide, and he looked down at Harry blankly, "We need...to pass a fire dragon?"
"Yes." Harry shrugged.
At this moment, the two of them were standing in the shadow of a certain pillar in the corridor, and Cedric suddenly felt that he should move a step and stand in the sunlight... At least he could absorb some warmth...
"Huh——" he let out a breath, thinking that he maintained a calm and brave posture in front of Harry, "it seems——this competition is really not a joke...they really want to see us desperately... "
He turned his head and glanced at the silent Harry, "Speaking of which, why did you tell me?"
"Because other warriors already know about it... and no one cares about this kind of cheating, even the principals of the two schools are directly involved. So I think... everyone should at least stand on the same starting line."
She wasn't going to betray Hagrid, so she stopped short.
Fortunately, Cedric didn't continue to ask "how did you know?" questions.
But his next question made Harry even more unable to answer.
"You're finally not avoiding me anymore, huh?" he asked. "It's so hard to talk to you. You can run faster than the Snitch."
"I'm not avoiding you...I just, I don't want to explain the act of voting names to people anymore."
Harry wanted to run again.
At this time, a group of students wearing yellow and black scarves passed by, and saw Harry and Cedric standing and talking together, and they were still standing so close... They all showed expressions like they had seen a ghost.
Cedric gave them a couple of serious winks, and the group of Hufflepuffs walked away hesitantly, at least not publicly.
"I told them not to wear that badge," Cedric looked embarrassed, "but you know, not every Hufflepuff will listen to me..."
"It's okay," Harry shook his head, loosening his schoolbag on his shoulders, "I don't care—at least not to the point of getting into a fight with someone else."
"Really?" Cedric raised his eyebrows, and even looked like he wanted to laugh, "You will fight with others?"
"When someone makes me anxious, yes."
Cedric really laughed out this time, he...doesn't believe he has the ability to fight?
"I will remember to remind those Hufflepuff classmates who are still wearing badges, let them restrain themselves, and don't be beaten by you."
The tall boy was obviously teasing her, and Harley shook her head, "Anyway, the first level, I wish you good luck." Then she waved her hand, planning to leave.
Cedric called her from behind.
"Harry, I want you to know, that article about Rita? I don't believe a word of it..." He paused, "I know you're not that kind of person."
"Maybe I am?" Halle turned around, winking innocently at the teenager, "I do have $[-] for a dress."*
Cedric's mathematics is indeed much better than that of Crabbe and Goyle, and he quickly completed the conversion of dollars and galleons.
"This is already... more than the prize money of the Triwizard Tournament..."*
Harry was gone by now.
Cedric's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand the girls more and more—these money can obviously buy a high-end broom, why buy it as a skirt?
****************
"Dragon...Dragon...Dragon..." Hermione murmured, her brown shaggy hair now a mess.Of course, Harry's hair wasn't much better, and the two of them were buried in several tomes at this time, looking for any information about the fire dragon.
Ron and Queenie were helping too, well, had helped—they were both asleep by now.
Krum came again, and glanced in Hermione's direction. No matter how gloomy his eyes were, Harry could tell that he was interested in Hermione without relying on Queenie's Legilimency...
It's just that Hermione didn't understand it, and it was annoying, because Krum's arrival meant that the chattering fan club was not far away.
The fire dragon's skin is rough and thick, and the hard scales even have magic. It takes at least seven or eight wizards to cast a powerful stun spell together to subdue a fire dragon—these are all they have gained today.
"Wizards need computers...or at least develop some kind of indexing magic..." Harry said, rubbing his neck, and Hermione strongly agreed.
At night, Harry lay in the curtain, tossing and turning.
At this time, there are only two days left before the first fire dragon competition.
Are you scared?It's... not very obvious.Maybe it was because she was so scared that she became numb instead?Harry doesn't know...
But fire dragons are not advanced intelligent creatures after all. Uncle Bruce and several brothers have said that these animal-like enemies are actually the best to deal with.If they were in their position... Maybe they have already figured out a coping strategy?
Compared with fear, Harley could clearly feel the frustration and disappointment in her heart—disappointment in herself.
She touched the two-way mirror under the pillow.Half a month has passed since her name was sprayed out by the Goblet of Fire on Halloween night.During this time, she didn't talk to Damian again, and the activation of the double-sided mirror required magic, so the boy couldn't contact her proactively. *
Harry knew that as soon as she saw the boy's green eyes, she would tell the truth, and she didn't want him to worry.
At least wait until the first level is successfully completed before dealing with your boyfriend's anger.
Harry closed his eyes shallowly, listening to the even breathing of the other girls in the dormitory—even if he couldn't sleep because of insomnia, he still had to close his eyes and rest his mind.
At this moment, there was a hissing sound in her curtains—Harry immediately opened her eyes and sat up, picked up her wand, and searched for the source of the sound.
Then, a blinding flash came on.In a certain space at the end of the bed in her curtain, a golden vertical line appeared out of thin air.As if someone tore open a hole, a pair of hands and a head stuck out——
"Sirius?" Harry hurriedly cast protective spells around the curtain.
Her godfather, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was covering her eyes and complaining in a low voice, "Konstantin, that idiot! He said he was going to send me to the girls' dormitory, I thought he was joking! Harley, you... put on your clothes! "
"I'm wearing it." Harry looked at his pajamas with long sleeves and trousers, which looked decent.
Sirius let go of his palm and spoke quickly, "Because of Hogwarts' protective spell, Constantine's rotten magic can only last for 1 minute. To make a long story short, I know about your entry—I read the newspaper—" And I understand that you definitely didn't take the initiative to sign up... Someone must be trying to harm you... Be careful of Karkaroff, he is a Death Eater..."
Harry raised his hand, "I have... a more urgent question. The first level is a fire dragon. We need to pass one each. Do you have any suggestions for quickly subduing a fire dragon?"
Sirius was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized, "Their eyes, their eyes are the most vulnerable..." Then, there seemed to be a sound from the other end of the magic gap, and he turned his head immediately. A second later, Sirius yelled at the void that Harry couldn't see, "You said 1 minute!"
The answer from someone in the void seemed to annoy Sirius even more.But time was running out, he continued to speak quickly to Harry: "Fire dragons are not scary, there is a curse..."
The golden magic rift and Sirius disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the call between Harry and the godfather was... cut off.
If Constantine was the one who did the trick, even Harley would want to beat him up now!
The author has something to say:
*I actually found Saoirse Ronan's pink dress at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Louis Vuitton's official website!Moreover, it's really not high definition, it's ready-to-wear! 2018 Pre-Fall Collection! (But it is already very expensive... 72000 RMB; 98% silk...)
I have to change the words of that chapter...
Girl Ronan looks much better dressed than the model...
*The prize money for the three-final match is 1000 Galleons. Baidu has an exchange rate of 6.5-7.5 for the US dollar and Galleons, probably because the exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar is fluctuating. 1 Galleon equals £5, Rowling's official exchange rate.Even if calculated according to 7.5, Harley's skirt is already equivalent to about 1500 Galleons.
*The double-sided mirror requires magic to activate, it is the garbage author's nonsense.
*The game won't drag on, the next chapter will beat the fire dragon.
*Being able to open a portal in Hogwarts, even if it takes less than 1 minute, Zackon is amazing!
