Chapter 573: The First Competition

"We can't go, Ron!" Hermione objected, pulling a thick Philosopher's Stone out of her bag, "There are only a few days left before the competition, and you haven't fully mastered the spells I've summarized for you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"There are a few spells, including the Eye Disease Spell, that you must learn as soon as possible. Evan followed.

"Spare me, Evan and Hermione, that's a seventh-year class!" Ron said, "I've learned more than a dozen spells in the past two months, and I should be able to deal with emergencies. It's about to start the game and what I need now is to get my mood right......"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden shuddering sound overhead.

More than a hundred owls flew in through the open window and brought everyone the morning mail.

Hedwig's white figure mingled with a large field of brown and black owls and slowly landed on the table.

It pecked Harry lightly, and stretched out its right leg, which was tethered to a crumpled piece of parchment.

Harry quickly unwrapped it down and checked the contents of the letter.

Hedwig chirped softly, flapping her wings for something to eat on his plate.

"It's Sirius's letter!" said Harry excitedly, "he wants to meet us this afternoon in Hogsmeade. ā€

"Great!" Ron cheered, smirking, "we must go to Hogsmeade, this is Sirius......

Just then, a large black cat's head landed on their side and threw a package onto Ron's lap.

"What is this?" everyone looked at Ron curiously.

"I don't know!" Ron looked down at the package and said suspiciously, "Strange, it was sent by Charlie." ā€

Charlie Weasley is Ron's second brother, and everyone just met him during the summer vacation.

He was a legend of the Gryffindor Quidditch team when he was a student at Hogwarts, led the Gryffindor team to win the Quidditch Ball Cup several times, and after graduating with honors, went to Romania to study dragons.

Charlie usually doesn't contact Ron, let alone send a package.

Ron opened the package, which contained two books, "How to Keep a Dragon" and "Common Ways to Tame Dragons".

"What the hell is going on, why did Charlie suddenly send me two books?" Ron picked up the note at the bottom of the package and read, "Dear Ron, you may need these two books, please forgive me for not saying more......"

He put down the note and flipped through the two books, his brow tightening tighter.

"Charlie must be crazy, why do I need two books related to dragons, and refuse to tell me why!"

Harry shook his head at Ron's inquiring gaze, the expression on his face equally puzzled.

"We might find some clues in there. Hermione took the book "Common Methods of Taming Dragons" and looked at it, "I haven't seen this book in the library, it may have been summarized by Charlie himself." ā€

"Even if it's a book he wrote himself, there's no need to ......"

"Ron, don't you understand?!" Evan interrupted Ron and said impatiently, "Charlie sent you these two books to tell you about the first event, which is the fire dragon!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to have some kind of magic.

Hearing his words, everyone stopped talking, and all turned their heads to look at Evan in shock.

"Oh my God, Aven!" Hermione exclaimed, covering her mouth with her little hand.

"Y-What did you just say, fire, fire dragon?!" Ron stammered, his face pale.

"That's right!" Evan nodded solemnly, "Charlie is sure about this, but he can't say it, it's against the law." ā€

"This is impossible, how could they use the fire dragon as a competition item?!" Ron stared at Evan tightly, "With the ability of a little wizard, how could it be possible to defeat the fire dragon, that is impossible!"

Looking at his expression, it seems to be expecting someone to suddenly tell him that it's April Fool's Day.

There was still silence, and the silence gradually turned into despair.

Thinking about it, everyone thought that Aven's reasoning was very likely, and accepted this shocking fact.

Only Ron was unwilling to accept it, and he replied to Charlie as quickly as possible, asking what happened.

In his words, it's just a coincidence.

Seeing Ron's stubborn look, Hermione wanted to say something, but Evan gently pulled her.

Ron needed time to digest the news now, instead of pressing it step by step, which he would definitely not be able to bear.

Although no one was talking about the fire dragon, it still cast a shadow over the rest of Hogsmeade's trip.

Ron looked preoccupied, not as excited as he had been at the beginning.

They returned to their dormitories to change into their cloaks and set off for Hogsmeade.

Harry, Ron, Colin and Ginny went first, while Evan and Hermione went to find Gabrielle and went with her to Hogsmeade.

The two of them walked out of the castle and along the lake to Beauxbatons' carriage.

"Aven, is the first event really a fire dragon?!" Hermione said in disbelief, looking very anxious.

"If nothing else, it should be!"

"Ron will collapse, how can he defeat the fire dragon, this is an impossible task. ā€

"It won't be that hard, it should just be asking the warriors to get something from the fire dragon. Evan said.

"Hopefully, those two books Charlie sent should help. Hermione said, "I'm going to have to take a look inside the library, we were going in the wrong direction, I remember the book said that dragons are extremely difficult to kill, because their thick skin is permeated with ancient magic, and only the most powerful spells can penetrate ......"

That's right, dragons are the scariest and most dangerous magical creatures.

When I saw it for the first time, I was also shocked by Aven, and I felt why such a monster existed.

However, since he cooperated with Centaur Ugtt to kill a xenomorph fire dragon in the illusion, he didn't have much fear of it.

Dragons are not invincible, they have a lot of weaknesses.

Ron now needs to overcome his fears in addition to improving his strength.

That's the hardest part for him.

The two of them discussed the fire dragon as they came to Beauxbatons' carriage.

Gabrielle was already waiting there, wearing a sky-blue school uniform cloak with a big smile on her face.

For today's trip to Hogsmeade, she had clearly prepared carefully.

Several girls who were ready to leave Sparton passed by her, bursting into a burst of laughter like silver bells.

"Aven, we should tell Fleur about this!" Hermione whispered suddenly, "she certainly doesn't know yet." ā€

Evan looked at Hermione in surprise, he had expected her to offer secrecy.

"Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking, we really should keep this matter a secret, but in the face of the dragon......" Hermione said quickly, "Anyway, aren't Fleur and Gabrielle our friends?! )
