Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament venue

Harry returned to the tent, where Fleur and Krum were fidgeting slightly.
After a few seconds, they heard a commotion in the crowd, which meant that Opal had entered the field, facing a living creature that looked exactly like his model.
Although I tried very hard to want to do nothing, I revisited the spell that I had been making up for the recent time, but I still couldn't control myself from listening, and then about a few seconds later, the position where Opal was originally sitting in the tent should have been checked by the examiner of the competition, and a wooden box suddenly floated into the air and flew towards the outside of the tent, which was quite fast.
It's the "Flying Spell".
Harry, who had been practicing the spell lately, confirmed it almost instantly, and then sighed slightly - the brave of the competition can use the same spell, right? Right, yes, yes?!
Harry didn't have to guess what was in that wooden box - according to Opal's specialty, it must have something to do with potions.
And he prepared a flying broomstick, so it should be fine...... Right?
、
Leave it alone how much Harry struggled with the spell "crash" in the tent, because Opal had told him he was ready before he met Siris.
Turning his gaze back to the field, Opal, who used the Flying Charm to summon the potions box he had prepared in advance, swung his staff directly at the small wooden box and cast "Engorgio", reducing it to a standard potion configuration workbench, on which the potion materials were all placed in different categories.
That's right, after suppressing his physiological aversion to dragon creatures, Opal prepared to deploy potions on the spot to complete the first project of "stealing the golden eggs from the dragon's den".
The potion she was going to configure was a second-hand potion recipe from Vivien, which was lost in modern times - but it was in line with her so-called "family heritage". After all, this potion recipe is the dragon slaying potion that Merlin used back then.
Otherwise, how do you think the legendary "dragon heart" possessed by King Arthur came from?
As soon as you drink Draught.Of.Living.Death, replace the narcissus root powder in it with the same family of Lycoris root powder, then replace the wormwood with the same family of Artemisia annua, and finally add an extra taste of benzoin essential oil to make the dragon sleeping potion (Draught.Of.Dragons.Sleep) known as "the dragon can lie flat after drinking".
It's just that although the effect is very powerful, the way to prepare the dragon sleeping potion is also much more complicated than drinking the water of life and death, and it also includes the magic chanting part, both of which are indispensable - that is to say, people who lack magic power and magic control are not strong, even if they have this formula, they can only stare at it.
After all, both magic power and magic control are hard conditions, and this potion recipe is still metamorphosed to the point that many steps need to be completed at the same time, and it is impossible for you to split the configuration of the potion to the twins to make it at the same time.
And the most tangled point is that even if all the steps are not bad, the shelf life of the dragon sleeping potion after it is configured is only a short three hours, and once it exceeds this time limit, the effect will pass quickly, and in just one minute, it will be transformed into clear water without any special characteristics. What's even more exaggerated is that this dragon sleeping potion can only make the dragon sleep for a short ten minutes, which is a one-time product and cannot be reused!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the object that Opal needs to use at the moment is only the dragon that exists in this world, although the Swedish short-nosed dragon is also known as a "dragon", but it can only be regarded as an ordinary wurm species with insufficient mystery, and the strength is far less than the red dragon that Merlin needs to face at the beginning, which can be said to be a "fantasy species", and the dragon sleeping potion that can have an effect on the legendary red dragon should be able to extend the time limit of action on the body of the Swedish short-nosed dragon.
In Bagman's explanation, Opal began to focus on the configuration of the potion that he had practiced many times, and fortunately, although the configuration method of the dragon sleeping potion was very demanding, and the materials required were relatively large, but the time to configure it was not long, and after nearly 8 minutes of complex configuration, a bottle of jade-colored potion that looked crystal clear appeared in Opal's hand.
Putting away the potions box, Opal narrowed his eyes at the Swedish short-nosed dragon that was guarding it with its teeth and claws, and then waved his wand and chanted a spell: [АVis!] ]
A flock of winged birds emerged from the tip of Opal's wand and slammed the potion in her hand directly at the vigilant Swedish short-nosed dragon, and then the emerald potion fell on the head of the Swedish short-nosed dragon, sending a puff of white smoke.
Almost immediately, the Swedish short-nosed dragon, which had been dancing its teeth and claws, began to yawn as the smoke rose, and soon lay limply in the nest and closed its eyes.
However, Opal did not venture to retrieve the golden egg that was placed on the edge of the dragon's den, because even when asleep, the Swedish short-nosed dragon could breathe fire by breathing—or rather, sleepwalking. Opal can also be sure that the golden egg must have a "counter-spell" on it, and the contestants can easily obtain the golden egg by casting the flying spell.
[Finite.Incantatem!] ]
Without the slightest hesitation, Opal cast the Spell directly at the Golden Egg - using the spell to stop it was a fairly quick way for a continuous spell, and she was sure that although it was a triwizard tournament, it was unlikely that the test would require the so-called "Warrior" to use a leapfrog spell.
A flash of light flashed on the golden egg, and it was obvious that the effect of the anti-spell had disappeared.
At this time, Opal used a flying charm again, summoning the golden egg into his hand, ending his match - the entire duration was no more than 10 minutes.
"Ahh Very good indeed! ”
Bagman shouted at the top of his voice, "Now ask the referee to score!" ”
After holding the golden egg and bowing to someone in the audience and the referee's seat, Opal retreated to the sidelines, waiting for the staff to take down the sleeping Swedish short-nosed dragon and dragon egg and rearrange the venue.
After that, the judges sat on the raised golden chairs and scored them.
"The maximum rating for each person is no more than 10."
With Bagman's voice, the first referee – Madame Maxim – raised her wand into the air. A long silver ribbon-like thing erupted from the wand, twisting to form a large figure of eight.
Next was Mr. Crouch, who spewed a "6" into the air.
Then there was Dumbledore, who gave a "10" point.
Ludo Bagman also gave 10 points.
At this moment Karkaroff raised his wand, he paused for a moment, and then a number erupted from his wand - "6".
In other words, Opal's total score in the first event was "40", which was barely a good start.
However, Opal didn't pay much attention to scoring or anything, and at the moment her attention was focused on the golden egg in her arms, which had a gap in it, but Opal had a hunch that this thing should not be rushed in public.
After Opal left the stage, the next thing was the performance of the following people.
Fleur used a stober spell on the dragon, and it seemed that because of the blessing of the Charm Baby's bloodline, the dragon snored drowsily, and then a beam of flame shot out, lighting Fleur's skirt. Although Fleur used "clear spring like water" in time to extinguish the fire, her skirt was still somewhat burned - compared to the perfect Opal, her performance was still somewhat demerited.
Perhaps because of his confidence in his own strength, Krum directly used the "Eye Disease Charm" to hit the dragon's eyes. Although the dragon didn't notice Krum who took the golden egg due to his dim vision, he broke half of the eggs in the dragon's nest when he trampled here and there due to eye pain, which was also a deduction.
As for Harry...... Well, he used the Flying Charm to summon his custom firebolt given to him by Opal, and then managed to pull out the golden egg from the Hungarian stinging bee's nest. Unfortunately, although Harry had the shortest time, he had to accept a point deduction due to injury.
By the way, Opal's biggest reason for being deducted points is that although the performance is very professional, it is not exciting at all, we are a triwizard tournament event, if it is not exciting, will anyone watch it?!
This reason is so justified that it is impossible to refute it.
In the final scoring statistics, Opal, Harry, and Krum are all all "40" points, and Fleur is more miserable, because "the performance is not wonderful" and "the clothes are burned" resulting in the lowest score of "38" among the four, which is simply a big irony.
Speaking of which, Bagman is indeed a good man, and among all four, he alone gave all the players a perfect score.
After the wound was treated, all the contestants returned to the tent with their golden egg in their arms.
"You've all done a good job!"
Ludo Bagman said, jumping briskly into the tent as if he had just successfully crossed a fire dragon, "Well, I only have a few words to say." The second project will start at 9:30 a.m. on February 24 next year, so you can take a long break before that – but we'll leave you with some questions to consider! If you look down at the golden eggs you are holding, you will see that they can be opened...... See the seams there? ”
The other warriors all looked down at the golden egg in their hands, but none of them opened it rashly. Opal's hand was clasped on the edge of the gap, feeling the magic fluctuations in the golden egg, thoughtfully.
After seeing that everyone noticed the difference in the golden egg, Bagman spoke again: "You must solve the clue of the offering in the opening egg - that will tell you what the second project is, you can get ready!" It's all clear, right? No problem? Alright, let's go! ”
With that, he left the competition tent.
Fleur and Krum could almost be considered to be impatient to leave immediately after them - it seems that they should go to find their own veteran leader.
Opal sat in the tent with the old god and slowly tidied up his potions box, and then used the Shrinking Charm to shrink it back into a wooden box.
"Opal, what do you think of this......"
Raising the golden egg in his hand, Harry looked at Opal, "What to do. ”
[Harry, I can't always tell you everything.] ]
Shrugging his shoulders, Opal said that he also had to train Harry's ability to handle things on his own, [Anyway, it's a long time, you can slowly study the secret of the golden egg.] A word of caution though, it's best not to open this thing in a crowded place. ]
Anyway, she had already gotten the corresponding clues from Pansie. Although the mermaid's song is still very good to listen to in the water, if you listen to it in the air, because of the different transmission mediums, it can definitely be called the existence of "killing people and demons".
"You definitely already know, right?!"
Harry couldn't help but put a black line on his head, "Isn't it fun to see my headache?!" ”
[Hawkers, I think before the secret of the golden egg is solved, you should have a headache about the Christmas party.] ]
Winking playfully at Harry, Opal put away the potions box and held the golden egg in his arms, [Don't think about it, my words. My Christmas dance partner has been identified as my fiancé Riddle. If you don't do it quickly, Hermione will be asked to leave in advance. ]
"Who's going to ask her out but me and Ron?"
Harry said it for granted - he had no idea what he would be like if he was going to be slapped in the face afterwards.
[Who knows this?] ]
Opal, who had already knocked something out of Pansie's side, had a mischievous mentality of "I'm happy to see people unlucky", but still felt that he needed to remind him to do his duty as a companion, [Hermione is actually still very popular, if she can preach a little less......]
"Then you should also know that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, right?"
Harry wasn't worried about it at all, "No problem. ”
[Since you're so sure, I won't say more.] ]
Shrugging her shoulders, Opal wasn't so kind to remind someone that there were still people at school who didn't know the nature of Hermione - she wanted to see how frustrated Harry would be if he couldn't meet someone at Christmas party.
She'll definitely be the first to laugh out loud.
Well...... Speaking of which, should you give Hermione and Krum a red line in advance?
