Chapter 102: Dialogue
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally made our decision. Mercous, the leader of the merfolk, told us exactly what was happening under the lake, and we decided to rate the warriors on a 50-point scale as follows......"
"Fleur Delacour has shown excellent use of the Bubble Head Charm and was the second to find the hostage, but may not have been able to return in time due to physical strength. We gave her forty points. ”
There was applause from the stands, and Fleur was visibly happy with the score, with a free smile on her face, hugging her sister Gabrielle tightly.
Cedric Diggory also used the Bubble Head Charm, and he was the first to return with the hostages, but he exceeded the allotted hour by a minute. Therefore, we give him forty-seven points. ”
The Hufflepuff students present were thrilled and let out a deafening cheer.
"Victor Krum used Transfiguration, which was incomplete but effective, and he was the second to return with a hostage. We gave him forty points. ”
His fans applauded enthusiastically, but it was Karkaroff who took the most action, and everyone could see how proud he was at the moment.
"Harry Potter took gill sac grass and the results were amazing. He was the last to return, well beyond the allotted time of an hour. However, the Merfolk Leader tells us that Mr. Potter was the first to find the hostages, and that he was unable to return in time because he wanted to make sure all the hostages returned safely, not just his own. ”
"Most of the referees," said Bagman, glancing disapprovingly at Karkaroff, "felt that it was a good moral demeanor." However... Mr. Porter's score was forty-five. ”
The crowd applauded him unanimously.
Bagman continued: "The third and final program will take place on the evening of June 24, and the Warriors will know the details of the program a month in advance. Thank you all for your support of the Warriors! ”
......
"When I got to the bottom of the lake, I came across a group of Grindilow, and they all besieged me, and if it weren't for the magic you prepared for me, I would have been eliminated." When she returned, Fleur still looked uneasy when she told Ios about her experience under the lake.
"It's thrilling, but what's next?" He casually comforted and asked, he was also a little curious about these things, wasn't he the second to find the hostage, why did he return so late?
"Then I'll find Gabrielle." Fleur gave him a disgruntled look, but she continued, "The little boy named Harry was already there, but according to the referee, he was there out of kindness.
Because you said that the hostages would not be in danger, I saved Gabrielle and went straight away, I was still very strong at that time, and I was the first to return. Speaking of which, she was obviously a little unwilling.
"Then why did you come back so late?" Ios plays the role of a listener very well.
"I've run into that Grindy Lowe again!" Fleur gritted her teeth and made a hateful sound, "They're coming to besiege me again, this time I have to protect Gabrielle, and it took a lot of effort to repel them, so I returned to the surface so late." ”
Hearing this, Ios understood everything, and he could only say that luck is also a very important part. However, maybe this could also be a kind of power in this world to correct the trajectory of fate?!
After all, according to the original fate line, Fleur should have been eliminated in this link when the previous group of Grindillo besieged her, but she survived because of him, so she was unlucky to meet the same group of Grindillo again later.
In fact, the first project has already been reflected, under his guidance, Flann's hypnotic magic is much stronger than the original, and she also deliberately avoided the direction of the dragon's head, but she was still burned by the dragon's breath.
If it weren't for Ios' fire-proof brooch, her skirt would still be on fire. But Ios didn't care about this little thing at the time, and it wasn't until this time that she almost repeated the same mistake that he caught his attention.
So, there is actually a corrective force in the world? It would have moved events as close as possible to the trajectory they should have been, and of course, this force was obviously not very strong, otherwise Ios would not have been able to bring about a change.
So, he just thought about it for a while and didn't care about it anymore, anyway, it didn't affect him.
After listening to Fleur's adventure, Ios picked up a thick book and read it.
"What are you looking at? It's a fire dragon again! Are you planning to work in a dragon after graduation? It was normal for her to think so, after all, Ios was always reading books about fire dragons these days.
If it was possible to understand the first project before it started, and it was normal for him to learn about the content of the project in advance as the president of the student council, then it would not be strange to read some books related to fire dragons and think about countermeasures.
But now? The second project is over, and reading this kind of book can only be said to be out of personal interest, and wizards' interests often become their later careers.
"No, I'm not interested in becoming a dragon scholar or breeder." Who knew that Ios directly denied this speculation.
"Then what do you always read these books for, just to accumulate knowledge?"
"If I want to raise a fire dragon, of course, I have to understand the relevant knowledge in advance, otherwise what if I die." He threw a bombshell directly.
"Raising a fire dragon?" Seeing Ios nodding, she continued to ask, "Private?" ”
"That's right."
"It's illegal to raise fire dragons privately! The Ministry of Magic will punish you! Fleur hurriedly persuaded.
"Don't be afraid, they won't. Or rather, they can't. Ios was very calm, and in turn comforted Fleur.
"Why?"
"Because I'm strong." Although the tone is very flat, it reveals infinite confidence.
Seeing this, Fleur was stunned, she had known Ios for so long, but at this moment she felt that she didn't know enough about him at all. She had always had the impression of Ios as erudite, gentle and elegant, handsome and so on, and she never seriously thought about his strength.
Although he can solve any questions she has, this only requires sufficient knowledge, and no one stipulates that a scholar must also have super combat power, right? Although the strength of the erudite wizard will not be far behind.
But there is also a big gap between powerful wizards, from wizards who have just reached the level of the Aurors to those who are strong at the level of Dumbledore, who would think that there is not much difference between them?
So, what is Ios' current strength? She was lost in thought.
"I haven't been compared to Professor Dumbledore, so it's impossible to determine who is stronger. But, if it's just against the Ministry of Magic, I'm sure they can't do anything about me. ”
"How can you be sure?"
"Because they can't beat Voldemort." Although it was only a simple sentence, the information revealed shocked Fleur, because this sentence showed that Ios thought that his strength was equal to or even surpassed Voldemort's!
This is no joke, Voldemort has brought more fear to the entire European wizarding world than even the previous Dark Lord. If Ios is right, it is true that raising a fire dragon is not a big deal for him.
