The Triwizard Tournament started as scheduled, but because the tournament is a large-scale cross-school, cross-country, and cross-wizarding event throughout the school year, each event will be separated by a short period of time, and the warriors will be given a long time to prepare before the competition, or ..... cheat?!

So, now that the first project is going to take some time to officially begin, the Warriors still have a lot of time to prepare for it.

Although, in any way, it seemed to Harry and Hermione that their so-called warriors were all cheating?

After all, they knew, whether it was Headmaster Karkaroff, or Madame Maxime, or even herself and Hermione, all of them had learned about the first project of the Triwizard Tournament, and they were all trying their best to defeat or deal with a dragon...... But given that this was fair to all the Warriors, he and Hermione were quickly relieved and were trying to figure out how to deal with the first event.

"Hey! Ron! ”

"Ron? You wait for me first......"

No, after today's Potions class, Harry immediately called out to Ron, his friend who had been black-faced since the beginning of class, who had not been willing to speak, and who had even been ignoring him for the past two days.

"Hey!"

"Ron, yes, I want to know, are you good at or know how to deal with a dragon? The big one, the female, can breathe fire, and it should still be the kind that is holding the nest and incubating the eggs......"

At this point, Harry suddenly couldn't speak.

Because he found that their good friend Ron was squinting his eyes slightly, glaring at him with that incredulous and angry gaze, as if he was doing something heinous or unforgivable?

"Shut up, Harry!"

"You teamed up with Hermione to trick me, not only did you fool the Goblet of Fire detection in a way I didn't know about, but you were named a Warrior and represented Hogwarts...... But now you're still planning to cheat, you learned about the game before the ancient and sacred event began, and you want to ask me how to deal with a female dragon?! ”

"You ......"

"I really misread you! I didn't expect you to be such a person?! ”

"You don't deserve to be a Gryffindor, what's the difference between you and the dark wizards of Slytherin, and those little snakes?"

Ron's voice grew louder and louder, and it was clear that he was still angry about the deception and teasing of his two good friends, and he couldn't let go of the evil breath in his heart no matter what!

However, when Professor Snape, who was about to leave the classroom door in the distance, seemed to have heard something and turned his head to look at the two of them for the first time, he quickly suppressed the feeling that he was about to leave, whether it was anger, jealousy, or other emotions, and hurriedly lowered his voice and stopped talking.

"I didn't! Ron, I swear I didn't! ”

"Hermione is Professor Annie's name for her, you know, Professor Annie has a good relationship with Hermione, she has the ability to interfere with the Goblet of Fire, she is no weaker than Professor Dumbledore!"

"But Ron!"

"Believe me, I really didn't sign up, and if I knew that, I'd have told you then! Moreover, all the contestants now know about the fire dragon, and I am not the only one! ”

"Including Hermione, that Fleur, and Krum, they all know it!"

After glancing at Snape in the distance, who was looking towards the two of them, Harry ignored the guy and explained nervously to Ron in a low voice.

Because it was the end of class, and the Potions class was over today, he didn't need to mind Snape's thoughts anymore, and there was no rule in the school rules that said that things were not allowed to be discussed in the hallway at the end of class!

“……”

Ron didn't speak, but continued to stare at the 'former' friend in front of him with that indifferent look, he looked like he was thinking about it, wondering if what this former friend in front of him said was worth trusting.

“……”

"What did you just want to ask?"

Finally, after waiting for a while, Ron, who had made a decision, spoke.

However, judging by his expression, Harry had no idea what he was thinking at this time......

"Huh?"

"Oh! Be...... That's right, I want to ask you if you know how to deal with a fire dragon, the female kind, which seems to be supposedly still incubating eggs? ”

I don't know why, seeing Ron's expression now, Harry actually became a little scared? But after thinking about it, he still stubbornly said what he wanted to ask the other party for.

Because Hermione had already gone to Professor Annie, but she hadn't gotten any reasonable advice, at least not for him and Hermione, after all, they couldn't just burn those dragons with a single fire, as Professor Annie said?

“……”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter!"

"Like you, I don't know how to deal with a dragon...... You should talk to Miss Granger about this kind of question, who, like you, is a Hogwarts warrior who has used despicable means to get a place as a warrior, and how can I know that I am just a clown who is laughed at and teased by you? ”

"I'm not a warrior, and I'm not qualified to be a warrior, so leave it to you warriors to deal with the fire dragon!"

"That's what you're supposed to do, and where am I qualified to participate, right?"

In the last moment, Harry almost thought that Ron had forgiven him, but in the next second, the other party's expressionless face suddenly turned into an incomprehensible and strange coldness, and after answering his question like a mockery, he turned his head and left.

“！！”

"Ron, you're ......"

I never thought that my good friend, Ron, who had experienced a lot of dangers with him, would now be angry with himself and Hermione because of the Triwizard Tournament?

As soon as Harry lifted his hand, he couldn't help but hang down again at the last moment......

He really didn't know how to explain it to Ron until now, because, he dared to swear, he and Hermione really didn't hide from each other to sign up, he and Hermione were both confused before, and only now did they figure out that someone secretly signed up for them, so there is absolutely no way to know a certain way or trick to sign up, but hide it and don't tell each other!

But alas, Harry now knew that their friend Ron would definitely not listen to his explanation, at least, not before the other party's anger had subsided?

"Ahh

"Teaching, Teaching, ......"

A little frustrated, Harry, who was about to leave, had to stop again, because he found that Snape was already standing in front of him at this time, so he had to grit his teeth and greet the other party politely.

"Potter ......"

"I heard the conversation you just had with that Weasley......"

"Humph! I didn't expect that our famous savior, Harry Potter, one of our heroic warriors at Hogwarts, would now want to find someone to help cheat? ”

As he walked out of the classroom and passed by the stunned Harry, Snape stood still and sneered, as a matter of course.

“……”

！！

Harry was a little angry, and he was eager to lash out at Snape, and told him loudly:

Now that all the warriors know the content of the first project, there is nothing wrong with him looking for a way to deal with the fire dragon in advance, and it can't be considered cheating at all!

Because, in a sense, the first project is already an open-book exam, so why can't he memorize the answers or find the key points in advance?

And what he knew was that whether it was Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or Wickdor Krum from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or even Hermione, they had been trying to find a way to deal with the fire dragon now, so it must be normal and reasonable for him to ask Ron for help now, and it was not as unbearable as the other party said!

Besides, Harry also knew that Ron's brother Charlie was a dragon trainer in Romania, and asking Ron to ask that kind of question would be like indirectly asking a dragon trainer expert, which would be much more useful than him and Hermione rummaging through the thick books in the library.

But

Now in the face of Snape, the 'dark wizard', Harry, who knew him, did not refute half a sentence, but only glared at the other party with his silent gaze with anger and shame. He wasn't stupid enough to confront a professor with words at such a time, especially in front of a greasy old bat who hated himself and was still targeting him at every turn!

"Potter Kid!"

"I warn you, with your current ability, never try to deal with a female fire dragon that lays eggs, you will never be able to defeat it, let alone control it!"

"If I were you, I would spend more time trying to escape from its gaze or doing what I'm good at to complete that ridiculous tournament than thinking about how to deal with a full-grown fire dragon?"

"Humph!"

As if mocking, as if as a reminder, Snape gave Harry a final deep look and snorted, then shook off his trademark black robe, turned and hurried away towards the corridor in the distance, and soon disappeared into the corner of the corridor of Hogwarts' slightly gloomy Potions classroom.

"You ......"

Looking at the back of the other man's departure, Harry opened his mouth, and when he was about to whisper an angry reprimand, he was stunned and came back to his senses.

Because, he faintly felt ...... That pesky old bat, that Dark Wizard Professor Snape, who had just opened his mouth to mock and laugh at himself to the fullest, seemed to have accidentally reminded himself of some way to complete that project one?

However, whether the other party said it intentionally or unintentionally, then he really doesn't know very well......

Anyway, Harry said that he himself would definitely not be grateful to the other party, at most he would just scold less? Therefore, he has to hurry back and talk to Hermione now, as for Ron's problem, I'm afraid he can only postpone it, after all, they have more important things now, and they must do their best, and they can't disgrace Hogwarts.

And when Harry was about to go looking for Hermione, he was on the side of Hogsmeade......

In this village of pure wizards near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not too far from Hogwarts Castle, a little girl was wandering around in the rocky, magically protected enclosure of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

“……”

???? (???? ｀??)??????

The village has the same history as Hogwarts, and according to legend, Hogsmeade was built around the same time as Hogwarts Castle a long time ago, but it was not a direct village at that time, but a house where a wizard named 'Hangis' came to escape Muggle persecution? Later, with the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, more and more wizards chose to live in Hogsmeade for business or other reasons, which gradually formed the current situation.

According to the Hogwarts School Library, according to the record of the "Magical Historical Relics", Hogsmeade was also the headquarters of the rebels at the time of the Goblin Mutiny, so it can be said that it has a lot of 'historical background'!

For some safety reasons, Hogwarts School has a policy that only students in Year 3 or above are allowed to go there on certain Saturdays, but only with a guardian signing permission on a responsibility form.

However, since it's not a Saturday, there isn't a single student in this Hogsmeade wizarding village except for a handful of pedestrians! Therefore, a little girl wandering around the street is still very eye-catching, but fortunately, the villagers or shopkeepers of Hogsmeade basically recognize the Hogwarts professor, so they don't really care too much about the little girl Professor appearing here?

“……”

(?? _??)

"Really, it's been so long, why haven't they come yet?"

???? (??????????????)????????

Little Anne, who was hanging out, was a little impatient......

Because the village of Hogsmeade was not very large, that is, a dozen or twenty houses built along the sides of the road or the kind of thatched-roofed houses of shops, she could just walk around for a few minutes, and it was not a Saturday, and the candy stores were not open, and she didn't want to go to the stinky bars, so after going back and forth twice, there was really nowhere to go.

"Huh?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

However, as Anne was about to teleport directly to London Tumbledown Alley to trouble the abominable shopkeeper, she suddenly seemed to notice something unusual......

"Hey......

?? 乛?? 乛??

"Tibbs, you say...... They must be some kind of badass, right? ”

(???? ω????) ☆

Originally, there weren't many people in Hogsmeade, because it was a small village, and there were only so many houses combined, except for a small number of wizards who passed by or had business dealings with Hogwarts, there were only a few people who came and went, and there were very few strangers who came here.

But......

Today, I don't know why, there are suddenly a lot of weird aunts and aunts with strange expressions, wands hidden in their cuffs, and pretending to be drinking?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"So, let's go back first......"

(o￣ω￣)○

Anne must have wanted to know why those weirdos came to Hogsmeade, but she didn't want to run over and ask, but was ready to find out for herself!

So, she was going to pretend to go back to Hogwarts first, and then .....

Hey, hey, hey......

?? 乛?? 乛??

After thinking about it, little Anne took her bad bear Tiebs, humming a cheerful little song, and jumped along the path towards the gates of Hogwarts School.

（...... ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

(It doesn't take much guessing for Tiebs to know that soon, someone is bound to be unlucky...... ）
