Chapter 214: Sirius's Reminder
"Harry, what are you taking us here, the game is just a few days away, and we haven't even figured out what to do against the dragon! No more time can be wasted!" said Hermione, standing behind the open wooden door, scanning the room, looking at the dusty floor and the corner of the room covered in cobwebs.
"I've figured out a solution, but I'm not sure if I want to use it yet. Harry explained, pushing the wooden door wider open before Hermione and Ron followed.
"Ahh Ron sneezed as he walked in and his nose turned red. "What are we doing here? Hagrid doesn't live here anymore, he's living in a much better place than here. "This is Hagrid's hut not far from the Forbidden Forest.
"Of course, it's for everyone to see me, and it's good for everyone to find a place to hide. A tall figure happened to flash in from outside the door at this time, and said a little briskly, and his tone seemed very pleasant,
"Sirius!" Hermione and Ron shouted in surprise at the same time.
The pale golden sunlight of the afternoon shines obliquely on the man's face through the open wooden door, outlining his three-dimensional facial features.
This man has a completely different feeling from when he washed away his grievances, before him, his face was haggard, his face was thin, and he was surrounded by long curly hair, although he was tall, but he also looked very thin, and now Sirius was wearing a smart brown leather coat, with short hair, looking very energetic, and his somewhat shriveled face was also restored to plumpness, as if he had returned to his youth.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, long time no see!" Sirius said with a smile, then opened his long arms and gave everyone a big hug.
"And, Harry, I'm sorry I didn't have time to respond to your two letters, I had some very difficult things in those days, and I haven't had time to get back to where I am. I only saw Hedwig's letter a few days ago, and then I had time to reply to you. ”
"Is it dangerous?" asked Harry hurriedly.
"Uh......" Sirius hesitated, but said anyway, "I don't deny it." ”
Seeing that Harry was still about to ask a question, Sirius interrupted him: "It's just a little risky, don't worry, the priority now is to solve the fire dragon you are about to face." ”
"Well......." Sirius mused, a little regretful, "if I had received the first letter in time, I would have advised you not to participate in this dangerous race, but since you did, I am only proud of your courage." Sirius paused here for a moment.
"As for the fire dragon. He changed his words: "The stun spell is an impractical method, the fire dragon is infinitely powerful, and it has very strong magical power, it is impossible to be defeated by a stun spell, it takes six or seven wizards to chant the spell at the same time to subdue a dragon ......"
The three of them nodded approvingly at this time, which was consistent with the information they had found.
"But you can do it alone," Sirius said, "and there's a trick you need to do with a simple spell. You just have to — use one spell at a time. ”
"What a spell. Ron's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, curious about a spell to subdue a fire dragon.
"Eye curse. He whispered.
"Eye Spell?" the trio repeated the name of the spell once.
"This spell can cause great damage to the dragon's eyes, and that's where he's most vulnerable. Sirius explained.
"But Harry probably won't be able to take aim!" said Ron, who had thought of something similar to it, nothing more than attacking the dragon's most vulnerable eye with a spell.
"Of course, this requires practice, the trajectory of this spell is quite fast, as long as it is issued, it will not be able to avoid it with the reaction speed of the fire dragon, the only consideration is only the accuracy. Sirius said confidently, confident in his plan.
Sirius then demonstrated the use of the spell to Harry in this room a few times, only to find that Harry did not master it very well, and the situation was not optimistic.
"Hermione, why didn't you cast a name in the Goblet of Fire at the time. Ron said enviously that he had tried it too, and behaved even worse than Harry, and the spell didn't even touch the target.
I don't have time to care about these things, if Harry hadn't participated in the competition, maybe I would have promoted it to the whole school by now. Hermione then unleashed another spell at the wall in front of her, striking Sirius's conjured target for their practice with a crunch.
"Not necessarily. Ron scoffed, incomprehensible at Hermione's unwarranted confidence.
“.? What's that?" Sirius asked, confused.
"That's ......" Hermione's brow fluttered at the mention of this, and she looked like she was about to start her own spontaneous "pitch" plan again, but quickly realized that now was not the time to mention it.
"Nothing. Hermione said with a dejected expression, suddenly remembering that the future of her organization was actually uncertain.
Including myself, there are only four members, and several other members do not agree with the purpose of the organization.
Let's put it aside for now, Harry's safety is the most important thing right now.
"I don't know if he received the letter. Hermione's mind suddenly wandered and wandered, they were brainstorming here, but they still hadn't solved the problem caused by the fire dragon, and Malfoy had only been given a piece of paper.
"Maybe he just thought it was a prank? didn't take it seriously?" Hermione thought bitterly.
"Hermione?Hermione?" Harry held out his hand and shook it in front of Hermione, noticing that she was a little distracted.
"Sorry, I'm a little distracted. Hermione came to her senses.
"Okay, I've already taught Harry the spell, you can think about it and try again, I'll remind you now, you have to be careful of the headmaster of Durmstrang. Sirius looked around before saying this, and walked over and closed the door to the room.
"Why?" asked Harry.
"That man used to be a Death Eater. Sirius said solemnly.
The trio's eyes widened in shock and they were silent for a few moments, their brains struggling to absorb a sensational message.
"Hmm...... We used to be cellmates, and we were imprisoned together in Azkaban, if the official explanation is to be followed. Sirius now had a look of disgust on his face.
"Of course, I don't want to have anything to do with that man at all. Sirius shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Can someone who has been imprisoned by Azkaban be released and become the headmaster of one of the three major schools of magic and magic in Europe?" Hermione reacted, her lips trembling slightly, and her tone became sharper and sharper.
This news is too much to accept.
