"What! Dragon? ”

Hermione subconsciously exclaimed, and she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice. "Harry! You read it wrong... How could Dumbledore allow Quirrell to raise a dragon in the underground of the castle?! ”

"Well, I think Hermione is right...... It is true that he does not allow 'dragons' to be raised, but it seems that he allows a dragon to be locked up here. Brandi carefully pulled the door open and was peering through the crack in the door. Don't pull my robe Parvati, it's not that you won't see it. Don't worry, the dragon didn't notice us - it looks like it's sleeping. Did you find that the dragon seems to have something tied to it, and it is imprisoned here. ”

He pulled the door a little wider, revealing the swarthy behemoth directly across the room. Hermione and Parvati let out exclamations at the same time.

"Wow~"

It was the first time they had seen an adult dragon, and it was only the first glance at the past from a distance, and it completely overturned the impressions of dragons that several people had accumulated in the library's collection—compared to the dragon in front of them, it was as docile and cute as a rabbit.

It's a creature that takes the aesthetics of violence to the extreme: its twenty-foot-long body is almost covered with sharp, black-glowing scales and bone spurs, and it is cold in the light of fire, like a cold and ferocious steel chariot; The wings are folded, but even when they are folded, they are still as wide as the screens in the school hospital cubicles, and you can imagine the appearance of covering the sky and the sun when they are fully extended; A black jade spine bulged from the dragon's back, like the muscles of a wicked man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

At this moment, the dragon was resting its hideous head on its forelimbs, its body completely lying on the floor and snoring, and with each slow breath, it would bring out several feet of flames from the gaps in the dense dragon's teeth, from which the heat that Brandy had just felt in the hallway.

The only thing that made Brandi feel relieved was probably the two dusty chains on the dragon's body. They were too far away to tell how thick the thing was, but judging by the current situation, the chains seemed to be working—at least not the dragon was roaming around the ceiling at this point.

The chain passed through the dragon's muscular hind limbs, locking firmly to the roots of its wings. This seems to be an attempt to limit the dragon's ability to fly too high?

"Hey, do you see the bulge on its back? This is the same as Norber, a Norwegian spineback. Hermione said, "Quirrell is so good that he can not only catch a dragon, but he can also carry and steal people's eggs." How the hell did he keep himself from being eaten alive by the angry dragon? I don't believe that the Confusion Charm can break a dragon's brain......"

"He's certainly not on his own...... I suspect he may have used something to make the dragon think he's his own kind for a while. Brandi whispered.

"You think a normal wizard can't theoretically do anything to a mother dragon hatching eggs, and the mother dragon will go crazy and slaughter anyone who tries to get close to her own child - even a snake? Or a lizard? At that time, even Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, would probably be helpless......"

"That's right, it makes sense, so—" Harry pulled out his wand, his face grim. "What are you going to do with this guy?"

"Brandi wasn't going to go toe-to-toe with it, Harry." Hermione opened the door completely, and the four of them crept to the corner of the room, where the temperature was a little cooler, and they didn't have to endure the dragon's desperate breath.

"We just need to be able to get through here, the dragon has chains on it, and it can't chase it. However, I think you can understand where the so-called exit is......"

Harry followed Hermione's gaze and looked around, the statues of swordsmen standing on either side of the room... The torch stuck in the wall... The soaring ceiling overhead... Finally stopped behind the Spinal Dragon.

"We need to pass past it?" He said in disbelief, "Still having to step on its tail?" Don't you see its tail, which is thicker than the trunk of a tree, lying there? ”

"yes, so ......" Brandi took a deep breath and picked up Harry's words. Before we get through here, we need a brief division of labor. ”

"What?" Harry was a little confused.

"A decoy, Harry. We needed a decoy, and he had to wake up the dragon, enrage it, and force it to move. That way, the rest of the people can sneak in while the dragon's attention is focused on the annoying bug. ”

"But who can do such a dangerous job?"

Brandi patted his chest without the slightest hesitation. "Of course it's me!"

"Huh? You're crazy! Hermione seemed to be frightened by the crazy idea. She couldn't even control her volume a little, and the dragon's snort suddenly stopped, scaring them enough.

When the dragon began to doze off again, Hermione grabbed Brandi and said eagerly. "You don't even have a wand now, how do you want to anger a dragon? Throw stones at it! And it's so dangerous, I know you're the most agile of us, but you can't outrun the dragon's breath either! ”

"Hermione, do you remember the guess you had with Harry earlier...... I actually think that makes a lot of sense. Brandi thought for a moment, and he gently leaned into Hermione's ear under the curious gaze of Parvati and Harry, whispering persuasion. The levels really seem to be tailor-made for us: Parvati's wasting some time, but it proved to be true. So you should be able to understand why I'm doing this—"

"You mean ......," Hermione's face changed.

"That's right, this level may have been customized for me by Dumbledore right now." Brandi smiled wryly, "Seriously, if my wand was still around, I might have been able to do it, but I don't think even Dumbledore would have thought that there was more to it than just a trapdoor this night - he had missed me and Parvati had lost his wands." ”

"So you can't—"

"So it's more me—" Brandi waved his hand and straightened up. I don't know what Ron's mentality was at the time, but I guess it should be the same as I am now - the sacrifice is worth it to win. Hermione, you have to go to the next level with Harry, he still needs Snape's level for your help. And Parvati ......"

He turned to Parvati, who was dealing with a sandwich biscuit like a squirrel.

"Why don't you go back first? Finally go to the chessboard to pick up Ron, and go back to the castle to ask the professors for help—perhaps Professor Dumbledore has already returned. ”

Parvati glanced at him, her cheeks now tucked into like a cute hamster.

"Hmm...... Ha~" She finally swallowed the food in her mouth and shook her head in satisfaction. "Don't be kidding, I can still help~"

"Huh? You don't even have a wand, what else can you do? Brandi said blankly.

Parvati pointed her finger at Hermione.

"I don't have a wand, but Hermione still has-"

………………

"It's a shame that I forgot about it...... Wizards can actually use other people's wands. ”

Brandi took Hermione's wand and touched the back of her head in embarrassment.

Parvati's words just now made him and Hermione pause, Hermione had no magic anymore, and the wand had no effect on her at all...... And Brandi will break the relationship with his wand and lift that restriction-

It's a great match.

"Grapevine wood, the heartstrings of the dragon, twelve and four-fifths of an inch long." Hermione babbled on and on about her wand to Brandy, as if doing so would make it easier for him to use. "How does it feel? Won't it be a little stiff? Does it work? ”

Under her nervous gaze, Brandi was a little embarrassed, and he waved his hand casually.

"Orchids are in full bloom!"

"Bang~" There was a soft sound, and a cluster of flowers appeared on the wand's head......

That's right, it's the flower clusters...... Brandi conjured up at least a dozen flowers at once.

"Huh?" Brandi blinked in confusion, "What is this...... Shouldn't it be a normal flower, I have such a good relationship with it? ”

"Yikes!" Hermione turned her head awkwardly, as if she was no longer looking at him, the fire shining on her face, and she looked extraordinarily ruddy.

"What's the joke! How could my wand be compatible with an idiot like you! This is called sympathy, see that you are pitiful, so you can barely let you know if you use it~ If you dare to break it for me, I... I can't spare you! ”

Brandi craned his neck and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender......

————

"Then in this way, Parvati, you can rest assured~ You better go back quickly, if you go in with us, Harry and I may not be able to take care of you. After all, it's a mystery man......" After repeatedly confirming that Brandi could use her wand, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and she turned to Parvati and persuaded softly.

"No? I'm going to stay here~" Parvati held his head high, "I can help, even if I don't have a wand!" ”

"Nonsense, can you cast spells without a wand?" Brandi looked distrustful, "It depends on the situation if you are playful, silly girl!" ”

Parvati smiled mysteriously, and she leaned over to Brandi's side, grabbing Brandi's hand under Hermione's complicated gaze—she closed her eyes.

"Huh?"

Hermione and Brandi were stunned at the same time.

"It's not! You! Brandi seemed to sense something strange, and he shuddered and stammered. Are you ......?"

"Don't talk, Brandy, wait until I get used to it a bit." Parvati said softly.

After a while, something happened that no one expected.

Hermione's wand suddenly burst into a burst of light, and golden spells flew out of the tip of the wand and shot into the ceiling, leaving a scorched mark on it.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Brandi trembled and stretched out his wand hand to the crowd...... Bands of faint blue light traveled through his arms like blood vessels.

"Parvati ......?"

In the midst of everyone's horrified eyes, Parvati opened his eyes, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Remember the big book I memorized from Ravenclaw, I learned it thoroughly~ The superposition of the so-called magic......"
