Chapter 145: Tears (Part 1)
"It's a pity......" Mr. Bagman shook his head, "It looks like Mr. Hart has failed......"
"Uhhhhh
"Wait, what's going on...... Iron Belly ...... Something doesn't seem quite right with its state......"
......
Jon struggled out of the pile of rocks, his right hand almost completely unconscious, and a sharp pain in his left leg......
The Iron Charm blocked the impact of the stones, but it couldn't stop the violent impact from "smashing" itself to the ground.
It seems that the injury is not light this time......
Jon stood up with a shudder and looked ahead.
"Whew...... Woo......" The Ukrainian iron belly had fallen to the ground, moaning in a little pain. It was as if its legs had lost all their strength and could not move a single step.
The dragon's eyes turned blood-red, and it glared at Jon angrily, and if it had had the same effect as the basilisk, Jon would have died instantly.
It doesn't have that ability, though.
Jon limped to the dragon's lair, ignoring the roar of the dragon behind him, and walked for several minutes from a distance of a few hundred yards...... Finally, he picked up the golden egg and held it high with his left hand.
"Oh!" I heard a loud cheer from the stands.
......
"He succeeded!" Bagman exclaimed excitedly, "He got the golden egg...... How, exactly...... Why did the dragon fall on its own?"
Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey hurried to the arena, and they carried Jon onto the stretcher.
Charlie Weasley also rushed over with the Dragon Tamers to calm the wrath of Ironbelly and bring him back to the Forbidden Forest.
On the podium, Madame Maxim and Professor Karkaroff had bewildered expressions, and most of the other teachers were also extremely surprised.
"Dumbledore, what's going on?" Professor Flitwick asked curiously, as he stepped out of his plate with some embarrassment.
"Because it's not just the devil's net that wraps around that iron belly!" Albus Dumbledore said lazily as he peeled a blueberry with his hands.
Several teachers on the rostrum hurriedly stood up and carefully observed the fire dragon that had not yet been carried out of the arena by the dragon trainers.
It was evident that in addition to the remnants of the devil's web, there was also a vine covered with spikes on the thighs of the iron belly, many of which had pierced into the dragon's body through the gaps between the dragon's scales.
"Oh, genius idea!" Professor Flitwick shouted in shock, "It's the oni vine...... With the devil's net, there is also the devil vine, and the ghost vine paralyzed the dragon......"
Oni vine is a very paralyzing herb, its spikes can easily pierce very heavy leather and scales, but they are so tough that they can be easily torn apart...... However, when used with the Devil's Net, this weakness can be effectively avoided.
"Pomona will be very happy, she has taken on a good student......" Professor Flitwick said as if to himself, "What's the matter, Dumbledore?"
"Firius, I'll trouble you to talk to Hagrid later......" Dumbledore said unhurriedly, "This blueberry tastes great, he might consider planting some next to the Forbidden Forest." ”
"What...... Oh, okay, Professor Dumbledore!"
......
Jon was on a stretcher, allowing Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout to take him to the school hospital.
"Damn Trelawney......" Jon whispered inwardly.
"Jon, that's wonderful!" Professor Sprout complimented with tears in his eyes, "You've managed to defeat the most ferocious ...... of Ironbelly."
"Fire dragon?" "Madam Pomfrey shouted with a look of annoyance, "the year before last, the Basilisk last year, the Dementors last year, and the Fire Dragon this year, what are they going to bring into this school...... A talking toad?"
As she spoke, she waved her wand and held Jon's arm in a cast, "It's okay dear, you're not badly injured...... I just broke two bones and I could easily heal it, but it's better to spend the night in the hospital. ”
Just as he was being carried away from the Quidditch pitch, a crowd of Hufflepuff students surrounded him.
"Jon, you've done a great job!" Zacharis-Smith roared excitedly.
"Scared the hell out of me...... When you're knocked away by the dragon!" Hannah Abbott touched her chest.
"Well done!" Cedric Diggory walked over and took Jon's hand.
"Thanks......" Jon struggled to get up.
"Lie still!" Madam Pomfrey fussed, "He's a sick person, and he needs to rest...... Get out of the way!"
She held out her wand, and a cloud of sparks scattered around her, sending the Hufflepuff students back.
......
Madam Pomfrey washed Jon's right hand and left leg with a hot, foul-smelling orange liquid, and then she stabbed it vigorously with her wand...... Jon tickled instantly.
"Don't scratch with your hands!" Madam Pomfrey warned, "and you'll be all right after a night's sleep!"
Jon nodded solemnly.
He was probably the most injured of the four, and of the rest, Krum was not injured, Fleur had her skirt burned, and Harry was only swept to the shoulder by Peak's tail......
"Go away!" Madam Pomfrey walked outside the room and roared, "The patient needs to rest. ”
"Madame......" A familiar, soft voice came from outside the door, "Please, may I let me in and take a look at Jon......"
"It's you, kid......" Madam Pomfrey's tone softened a little, "Forget it, you can go in...... Remember to come out right away. ”
Jon only felt a figure creep into the room...... She quietly closed the door and walked over to Jon's hospital bed.
Jon turned his head......
Astoria stood there a little panicked, tears rolling in her eyes.
"I'm fine......" Jon whispered, "nothing!"
"I'm sorry...... Jon, it's all my fault......" Astoria lay on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes, "I should have told you that the first project was about the dragon...... I shouldn't have been petty and asked Madeleine to talk to you, but she didn't find you...... Jon I'm sorry, I didn't know that dragon was so scary...... When I saw you hit by its tail, I was on the verge of collapse......"
"It's okay...... It's really fine......" Jon touched her face with his left hand.
"It's time to leave, girl!" Madam Pomfrey's voice came out of the door at an inopportune time.
Astoria seemed to have made up her mind.
She looked Jon in the eye and bent down......
Kissed him lightly on the cheek!
"Get well soon!" Astoria dropped a sentence and ran away with a red face.
Jon only felt his face wet.
