22. Invitation to the ball
Krum's way of obtaining the dragon egg is indeed not very elegant, first he provoked the fireball dragon in various ways, and finally the enraged fireball dragon used the dragon's breath to burn the chains, and chased Krum around, although Krum stole the dragon egg, but he was almost killed by the fireball dragon.
If Sherlock hadn't used his magic hand to drag the fireball dragon in mid-air, then Krum might have been killed directly.
After holding the fireball dragon in his magic hand, he threw the angry little fire dragon directly into the cage, and Krum didn't care to meet the applause and cheers of the people around him, and left the place with the golden egg in his arms after the judges scored the score.
Finally, the last warrior, Harry Potter from Hogwarts, appeared, but unfortunately the other party was booed, which made Harry feel very embarrassed.
He looked at the referee as far as he could, Sherlock saw Harry looking at him, and he cheered for the other slightly, Harry was stunned, he felt that he couldn't figure out why...... He'd said something bad about Sherlock before, but the fact that the client had never cared about it had always been Harry a little uneasy.
Not that he was afraid of Sherlock's revenge, but that his slander was indeed untrue, and that his current situation was indeed self-inflicted, a condemnation from the conscience.
Harry shook his head, shaking off the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, and then he saw the golden egg, and wondered why the fierce wind and waves nearly swept Harry away when there was no Peak Dragon around.
"Okay...... It looks like things are starting to get a little bad for Harry Potter, and the Tree Peak Dragon actually broke free from the chains in the first place...... But what's going on with these chains, why don't you explain it like this, a total of three dragons have broken free. Bagman's commentary voice made the audience feel worried about Harry Potter.
Even if you don't finish the first project, don't leave it so quickly, it's better to hold on for a longer time.
However, Harry did not disappoint them, he summoned the broomstick, and then rode it and began to fly around the field, with the chasing Treepeak Dragon behind him, Harry found that even the speed of the Comet 2000 broomstick model could be caught up by this dragon, and the speed of the opponent was even faster.
"I really flew out." Sherlock's body began to slowly lighten, and finally his feet lifted off the ground, and his whole body floated in the air, and he muttered a mantra in his mouth.
Then the whole person turned into a silver meteor and flew into the sky, the same direction that Harry and the Treepeak Dragon had left.
Bagman opened his mouth and let out a "uh...... The voice of the ......" happened to be amplified by magic, and was heard by all the people who watched, but no audience cared, after all, most wizards want to fly into the sky, and with their own strength, only a few people can do it.
But it's just a state of floating in mid-air, if wizards can master flying so easily, they still need wizard vehicles like broomsticks?
And even if there are some powerful wizards who can fly, they will definitely not be able to do it faster than a broomstick, at most they will float in the sky, but there are some ways to find shortcuts, such as the magic spells often used by Death Eaters to turn themselves into black mist to fly, which is a combination of a clever disguise charm and shapeshifting.
Members of the Order of the Phoenix have used a similar one, but it has just turned into a white mist.
Although this form can also fly, the speed is definitely not as fast as the broomstick, and Sherlock is different, his whole body flies at high speed, and it took nearly a minute for the Peak Dragon and Harry to fly over, while Sherlock felt it in more than ten seconds, and the speed was even five or six times faster than the Peak Dragon and Harry's Broomstick.
Obviously, a wizard who can reach this level does not exist in the minds of others, but now Sherlock can easily do it, Bagman just saw Sherlock's lips move from a distance, and then the whole person turned into a meteor and chased after him, to say that this admission referee is really dutiful.
"Okay...... Our entry referee is really showy, worthy of the Prince of Spells, this wave of moves is really powerful, thanks to the fact that Master Sherlock is not a warrior, otherwise this first game will not be interesting, after all, what kind of dragon can't support the hands of such a wizard for more than five seconds, the green dragon and the fireball dragon were directly subdued by Sherlock. ”
Bagman started the joke during the commentary, and then there was a burst of applause and laughter in the audience, but because Sherlock and Harry and the others flew out, the spectators in the arena didn't know what was going on outside, who would win Harry or the Peak Dragon, and the golden dragon egg was still on the stone.
As described in the books, Harry was the first to fly back into the field, followed by Sherlock, and Harry was able to get the egg.
Compared with the boos and good voices in the audience at the beginning, this time the audience applauded Harry Potter enthusiastically, after all, Harry also brought them a good game anyway, and Harry, the seat warrior, did persevere and tried hard to challenge.
Sherlock once again subdued the dishonest Tree Peak Dragon, and the chains of the black weapons flying out of his palms were a release and transformation of the silent power in his body.
Harry had mixed feelings in his heart, and the powerful Peak Dragon, who was clearly helpless and might even lose his life, was so vulnerable in front of Sherlock.
At this time, the sixth whistle blew, and the referee began to score Harry Potter, since the first project was over, then there was nothing to do with himself, Sherlock was the first to leave the venue, and outside Dandeni and Lupo and others were already waiting there.
"Haha...... It's a pity that these three-headed dragons met Mr. Sherlock, otherwise these three warriors would definitely not be so lively after the game. Lupo handed Sherlock a glass of water and said loudly.
"But no matter what, they are all serious about the competition, you must know that a wizard of this size has not yet reached adulthood to challenge a fire dragon is completely competing with death, and it is already remarkable to be able to successfully break through the project."
Dandeni nodded, "Yes, yes, if they are fighting against the fire dragon and fighting against the Grim Reaper, then if you are a warrior, you are probably playing chess with the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper has to let you take ten moves first." ”
Fimia smiled, "Then doesn't the Grim Reaper just lose." ”
Time flies by, and although the first event flies by, the impact is no longer a simple competition.
Warrior, what is a warrior? Before the start of the competition, many people were very vague about this concept, inheriting the destiny of heaven, following the honor, fighting for the school, standing for themselves, everyone has their own warrior way in their hearts.
But I have to say that the way Fleur and several people competed disappointed the supporters, charming, flying broomsticks, turning objects into bait, all of them were tricks, using deceptive skills to bypass the dragon to get the golden egg, which is true, but this way is definitely not the warrior that the audience wants to see.
And now they feel that the performance of the warriors is far inferior to the way the referee makes an understatement, whether it is the smart green dragon or the terrifying tree peak dragon, it is like a teddy bear in Sherlock's hands.
Of course, those three warriors can't be expected to have the strength of the Sherlock Spell Prince......
After the competition, the students of the school have to start studying in peace, but this cannot organize their hearts to burn a triwizard atmosphere topic.
Harry had finally gotten a lot of approval from everyone at this time, and he wasn't as embarrassed as he used to be, and of course Draco still hated him.
And Harry finally apologized to Sherlock with Hermione's encouragement, thanking him for being able to stop the chasing Treepeak Dragon in time for the first event.
Sherlock can only say that this is what he should do as an admission referee.
Everyone took the course for a while, about half a month, until this day on Thursday.
In Thursday's Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall always had a thoughtful look on her face, and it wasn't until near the end of the class that she made the matter known.
"I have a few things to say to all of you, and of course to the rest of the grades, but not to the first, second, and third grades."
"The Christmas Ball is coming...... This is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests, as the ball is only open to students from the fourth grade onwards...... But if you want, you can invite a junior student ......"
Professor McGonagall first said this in the fourth grade Transfiguration class, and the school rules that the upper grades can invite the lower grades, or because they are worried that the number of men and women in the upper grades will not be able to make up for them......
"Put on your gowns and robes." Professor McGonagall continued, "The ball will be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock on Christmas night and will end at twelve midnight, listen ......"
"The Santa Ball has definitely given us the opportunity to ...... Well...... Spread your hair and relax yourself. She said in a disapproving tone.
However, she noticed that most of the boys in the classroom were looking at Gryffindor's Asinsha Mephisto, and it seemed that many of the boys were already thinking about inviting the eldest Mephisto to be their dance partner.
Faced with the popularity of girls in his house, Professor McGonagall didn't know whether to cry or laugh, even if the boys didn't want to listen to him.
"I really hate Hermione...... The prom has to be a combination of men and women, so can't girls dance with girls? That's a rule. Asin whispered beside Hermione.
"Don't be angry, you should consider a dance partner!" Hermione laughed.
Later, when Professor McGonagall was teaching the 5th graders, she found the scene repeating itself, after she told the 5th graders about the Ball.
Professor McGonagall suddenly noticed that almost all the girls in the classroom were paying no attention to herself, and the eyes of countless girls were on Sherlock Mephisto, who was sitting in the center with a calm face.
Beauty loves heroes, there is no doubt that no matter in any country, it is an absolute truth, not to mention a dazzling male god with a prominent family background and flawlessness.
Professor McGonagall sighed helplessly, this pair of the eldest young master of the Mephisto family, the eldest lady is always so attractive to the opposite sex! I'm ......
There was a hint of uneasiness in Femia's turquoise blue pupils, and she quietly held her chin and looked at the deep Sherlock next to her, dance partner, who would he choose?
For the eyes of the Chi Guoguo who were cast on the Sherlock girl in the classroom, to be honest, she was completely disdainful, who among these people would dare to ignore his aura and take the initiative to contact him, a sparrow is a sparrow after all, and the opportunity is always for those who are well prepared, even if the person who is finally elected is not me, I am afraid it will definitely not be your turn.
Femiaya thought in her head.
She's looking for someone who can really threaten her to become a Sherlock dance partner, and she's sifting through the list of actresses who have a good relationship with Sherlock over and over again, and finally ranks her name at the top of the list.
The sky is like water, the passing years are fleeting, the green years are always full of countless expectations, the girl's feelings are always poetry, the age of love fantasy has never withered, the countless girls who love to dream about the three schools, the gorgeous ball, the handsome prince, the elegant dancing, everything is like Cinderella who is about to put on the crystal slipper, and the person who drives the pumpkin carriage still stays in the dim light.
The dream of youth may be far away, it may be unattainable, but I have not tried, I have not been brave, when the prosperity is gone, and the face is getting old, will I still remember that the black-robed young man in the dream is still wandering in the deepest part of the softness of my heart.
As soon as the news of the prom was issued, the girls from the three schools, like cats smelling honey, haunted the countless paths that Sherlock had walked, since a cute girl in the first grade bravely took the first step with the encouragement of her peers, and since then, the general trend has been out of control.
It is hard to imagine that the usually reserved girls of the various colleges will be like a bowl of chocolate to Sherlock on the eve of the upcoming ball, and they are bound to take it in one fell swoop.
"Are these girls crazy?" After finally getting rid of the crazy people in the restaurant in the morning, Sherlock couldn't help but complain to Kirk.
"If I were so feminine...... Gee...... It's beautiful. Lupo began to fantasize, his lewd smile clearly revealing his state of mind.
But in fact, Sherlock has already been selected.
"Oh no, it's Femia!" At this time, Kirk reminded him.
Fimia is dressed very beautifully today, she is not wearing that black robe, but a well-fitting light dress, like an ordinary civilian girl, but it is difficult to hide the beauty and temperament of the princess.
"She's Mr. Sherlock who wants you to be her dance partner, run! Run! I'm going to hold her back. Kirk looked at Sherlock, and Sherlock was really moved by that heroic expression.
