Chapter 208: The content of the first item
I think it was my parents who gave me strength. I know they would be very proud of me if they could see me now.
Yes, there are times during the night when I still cry for them, and I don't feel ashamed to admit it.
I know nothing can hurt me in the game because they are watching over me ...
Ron couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, if it weren't for the following, Maple and Hermione would probably be like him-
- Harry finally finds his first love at Hogwarts, and he is inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger, Miss Granger is amazingly beautiful, born into a Muggle family, and like Harry, she is one of the top students in the school, and she is also one of the candidates for the Triwizard Tournament.
I hope Harry doesn't get carried away by love and deliberately loses to his girlfriend in the game...
Ever since this article came out, Harry has had to put up with people, mostly Slytherin students, sneering at you as he passes by, quoting from the article.
"Do you want a handkerchief, Potter, lest you weep in Transfiguration class?"
"When did you become the top student in school, Potter? Maybe you and Longbottom started this school? β
"Hey, Harry!"
"yes, that's right!" Harry couldn't take it anymore and yelled, turning around in the hallway abruptly, "I just cried for my dead mother, and now I'm going to cry again... β
"It's not β I'm just saying β your quill is off."
It turned out to be Akihari, and Harry felt his face flush.
"Oh-okay-I'm sorry." He muttered under his breath and took the quill.
"Well, good luck Tuesday," she said, "and I really hope you do a great job." β
This left Harry in a trance, and his mind went blank.
"Amazingly beautiful? She? After Rita's article was published, Pansy Parkinson first met Hermione and said in a strange voice, "On what basis is she judged - the golden chipmunk?" β
"Ignore it!" Hermione said to Maple beside her, her head held high and she strode past the giggling Slytherin girl as if she hadn't heard anything.
"I agree, in the eyes of the female toad, the male toad is the most beautiful, and we don't need to judge the toad's aesthetics." Maple said, Hermione giggling.
"Bastard, who do you say is a toad?" Pansy Parkinson yelled at Maple.
Maple glared at her, and Pansy Parkinson instantly felt a chill rise from her heart, and she immediately came to her senses. Lost her mind under Maple's taunts, almost forgetting that this was a god she couldn't afford to mess with.
As long as Pansy Parkinson hadn't uttered that taboo word, Maple wouldn't have made a move on her as a witch.
After calming down Pansy's ugly bastard with a threatening look, Maple ignored it and left with Hermione.
Time flew by, and the weekend before the first event of the Triwizard Tournament came the weekend when Hagrid suddenly asked Hedwig to give Harry a note telling him and Hermione to go to his cabin at twelve o'clock in the evening.
Judging from the designation of Harry and Hermione, it is not difficult to guess that Hagrid must have had information about the Triwizard Tournament in the past.
Harry readily agreed, but Hermione hesitated, looking at her as if she was mindful of cheating.
In the end, it was only after Maple said, 'Are you sure the other houses will be honest', that Hermione agreed to go with Harry.
By half-past eleven in the evening, Harry and Hermione were downstairs, but there were still a few people in the common room. Harry's hardcore Creevey brothers have somehow managed to get a stack of badges in support of Cedric Diggory and are trying to magically change the words on it into support for Harry Potter. However, all they could do was to fix the badge to the potter's stinking.
"It's late, you don't go back to sleep yet." Maple turned his clothes into pajamas with his wand and walked over to them.
"Let's get this done and go to bed." Colin said.
"Let's do it tomorrow! Well! Colin wanted to object, but Maple frowned and glared at him, and immediately pulled his brother upstairs.
"Come on!" After Maple chases the Creevey brothers away, Harry, dressed in the Cloak of Invisibility, and Hermione, who uses the Transfiguration Charm, open the door to the common room and head towards Hagrid's cabin.
It was pitch black, but Hagrid's hut was still lit, and Beauxbatons' huge carriage parked next to his hut was also lit up, so Harry and Hermione could easily find their way to Hagrid's hut without the need for a glowing spell.
When Harry and Hermione knocked on Hagrid's door, Lady Maxim could be heard talking in the carriage.
"You're here, Harry and Hermione?" Hagrid whispered, opened the door, and looked around.
"yes, what did you call us over?" Harry and Hermione walked into Hagrid's cabin, Hermione lifted the illusion charm, and Harry took off the cloak of invisibility from his head and said.
"I'll show you something." Hagrid said.
Hagrid's expression was very agitated, and there was a sprig of flowers stuck in the buttonhole of his dress, like a very large artichoke. It looked like he wasn't putting machine lube on his head anymore, but he must have spent a lot of time combing his hair, and both Harry and Hermione could clearly see that he had broken teeth in his hair.
"Is it about the Triwizard Tournament?" Hermione said, her face not very willing. Although temporarily persuaded by Maple, she is still obsessed with cheating.
"You'll find out later." Hagrid didn't tell them directly, but let them witness it with their own eyes.
"Come with me, don't make a sound, make your bodies invisible with the cloak of invisibility," Hagrid said, "we don't bring tooth to it, it won't like it... β
Harry put on the Cloak of Invisibility again, and Hermione cast the Illusion Charm again. Then Hagrid opened the door to the hut and strode into the darkness.
Harry and Hermione hurried to follow, and Hegmeer's steps were too big for them to trot to keep up.
After a while, they were surprised to find Hagrid walking towards Beauxbatons' carriage.
"Hagrid, how are youβ"
"Shh Hagrid said, then knocked three times on the door with the two crossed golden wands.
Harry didn't understand it yet, but the clever Hermione did. Hagrid did seem to reveal the first project to them, but he also brought on the headmaster of Beauxbatons.
Madame Maxim opened the door. She had a silk shawl around her broad shoulders. She smiled slightly at the sight of Hagrid.
"Ah, Hagrid, is the time up?"
"Good evening." Hagrid said, smiling at her as he stretched out a hand to help her down the golden steps.
Madame Maxim turned back and closed the door of the carriage, Hagrid gave her her arm, and together they walked around the edge of the makeshift paddock, where Madame Maxim's winged horses were kept.
After a moment, Madame Maxim asked, "Where are you taking me, Hagrid?" β
"You're going to like it," Hagrid said in a gruff voice, "it's worth watching, trust me." But don't tell anyone that I took you to see it, okay? You shouldn't know. β
"Of course not." Madame Maxim said, her long, dark eyelashes fanning.
Following Hagrid and Madame Maxime, Harry and Hermione suffered a lot. I don't know how long it took, when they had walked far around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and the castle and the lake were no longer visible, there was finally movement aheadβ
There were a few men shouting loudly in front of them... Then there was a deafening, shrill roar ...
Hagrid led Madame Maxime around a grove of trees and stopped. Harry and Hermione followed, coming near them.
Then, Harry and Hermione opened their mouths wide in surpriseβ
They saw the fire dragon!
Three fierce adult fire dragons were locked in a thick-planked field, standing on their hind legs, roaring and snorting.
Clusters of flames erupted from their open, fanged mouths and shot into the dark night sky, their necks held high, their mouths fifty feet above the ground. A silver-blue dragon with a pair of long, pointed fiery dragons roared angrily at the wizards on the field; A green fire dragon with smooth scales was writhing and stomping its feet desperately; Finally, there was a black dragon, more dinosaur-like than the others, and this dragon was closest to them.
There are at least twenty wizards on the grounds, and every seven or eight are responsible for dealing with a fire dragon. They tugged at the chains, desperately trying to subdue the three dragons, which connected the dragon's legs to the dragon's neck. Harry and Hermione were completely stunned.
They looked up, and high up above, they saw the black dragon's eyes, their pupils were perpendicular like cat's eyes, and they bulged out of fear or anger. The black dragon made a terrible sound, a terrible and piercing wail...
"Stay there, Hagrid!" A wizard near the fence shouted, clutching the chain in his hand, "They breathe fire twenty feet away, I've seen this tree wasp spray forty feet!" β
"It's beautiful!" Hagrid said softly.
"It's useless!" Another wizard shouted, "Say the Unconscious Spell, count to three, and say it together!" β
Each dragon trainer drew his wand.
"Faint!" They shouted in unison, and the stun spell shot like rockets into the dark night sky, bursting out of sparks that rained down on the thick scaly skin of the three dragons.
The superposition of the stun spells of several wizards had an unexpected effect, and with the exception of wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore, a dragon that wizards could absolutely not subdue was defeated.
The nearest dragon stood on its hind legs, its mouth wide open and a silent roar, the flames in its nostrils suddenly extinguished, but still smoking. Then, slowly, it fell.
The strong, black-scaled dragon weighing several tons fell to the ground with a loud bang that shook the trees behind them.
The dragon tamer lowered his wand and walked towards the fallen dragons, each resembling a hill. The dragon tamer hurriedly tightened the chains, fastened them to the iron pillars, and nailed them deep into the ground with his wand.
"Want to take a closer look?" Hagrid asked Madame Maxim excitedly. The two of them walked towards the fence together, and Harry and Hermione followed. The wizard who had warned Hagrid not to come near turned around and was an acquaintance of both Harry and Hermione, Ron's older brother, Charlie Weasley.
"How's it going, Hagrid?" He gasped and came over to talk to them, "They should be fine now, we gave them sleeping pills, they came all the way to sleep, I thought they would feel better if they woke up in the quiet of the night." But, as you can see, they're not happy, not at allβ"
"What kind of species do you have here, Charlie?" Hagrid asked, staring at the black dragon closest to him, a look of almost adoration in his eyes. The black dragon's eyes were still slightly open, and a thin yellow light shone under its crumpled black eyelids.
"It's the Hungarian tree bee," Charlie said, "and the smaller one over there is the common Welsh green dragon, and the silver-blue one is the Swedish short-nosed dragon." β
Charlie looked around, and Madame Maxim was strolling along the field, gazing at the three stunned dragons.
"I didn't expect you to bring her with you, Hagrid," Charlie said, frowning, "Warriors shouldn't know what they're up against, she's sure to tell her students!" β
"I just think she'd love to come and see her." Hagrid shrugged his shoulders, his eyes still staring at the dragon in fascination.
"What a romantic date, Hagrid." Charlie said, shaking his head helplessly.
"There are three," Hagrid said, "so every warrior needs one, right?" What do they need to do, fight the fire dragon? β
"I guess it's just passing by the fire dragon." Charlie said, "If things don't go well, we'll come to the rescue at any time and recite the extinguishing spell to the dragon." They want she-dragons that hatch eggs, I don't know why, but I can tell you that the people who spread the Hungarian tree bees don't have good fruit to eat. The back of it is just as dangerous as the front, you seeβ"
Charlie pointed to the tree wasp's tail, which Harry and Hermione saw long, bronze-colored spines popping up every few inches.
At this moment, Charlie's five dragon training companions walked up to the tree bees, carrying a blanket with a nest of huge, granite-gray dragon eggs. They carefully placed the eggs beside the tree wasps. Hagrid couldn't hold back his heart's desire, and groaned.
"I've counted them, Hagrid." Charlie said sternly. Then he said, "How are Harry and Hermione?" β
"It's fine." Hagrid said, still staring intently at the dragon egg.
"I really hope they're safe and sound after this danger." Charlie looked at the field where the dragon was kept, and said preoccupiedly, "I don't dare tell my mother what Harry is going to do in the first project. Mom was already flustered about him... β
Charlie mimicked his mother's anxious voice and said, "'How could they let him participate in that tournament, he's so young!'" I thought they were all right, I thought there would be an age limit! β
When the Daily Prophet article about Harry was published, Mom burst into tears. He's still crying for his parents! Oh, God forbid, I don't know anything about it! ββ
Hermione slapped Harry's hand quietly, they already knew the contents of the first project, there was no need to stay any longer. Moreover, Hagrid's heart had been filled with the enchanting four dragons and Madame Maxim, and I am afraid that he had forgotten about them at the moment.
Harry understood what Hermione meant, and the two of them returned to the castle together.
The two men who were invisible along the way were silent, and even Hermione couldn't keep her composure knowing that the first project was to deal with a fifty-foot-tall dragon covered in scales and spikes, with its nose spewing fire.
However, Harry was anxious about the rest of the game, and Hermione, after calming down for a while, began to search for her memories and think of what she could do to deal with the dragon.
Hermione recalls and realizes that she doesn't have any way to deal with dragons. She only knew that dragons had a high magic resistance, and she didn't know the weakness of dragons' eyes, and Charlie Weasley's means of dealing with dragons couldn't be used by one person.
Then faced with these kinds of unsolvable puzzles, Hermione's first thought was to go to the library.
"That'sβ" Harry and Hermione stopped abruptly as they saw a figure overtaking them.
"It's Karkaroff!" After the figure had passed them and vanished, Harry spoke.
Karkaroff was a chicken thief, and he noticed Madame Maxim's movements so quickly. It seems that he spends a lot of energy on keeping an eye on it in his spare time. He had a knack for it with Harry's Aunt Penny, and unsurprisingly, he soon knew what the first project was.
Hermione also realized why Maple said that, but in this way, Hermione didn't have the same mind as before. In this way, everyone knows the content of the first project, and they are on the same running line again, except for the only uninformed Cedric.
"Harry, we're going to tell Cedric about this!" Hermione said she wanted absolute fairness so that her win or defeat would be meaningful.
"That's how it should be." The two thought of going together, and after knowing that Cedric was the only one in the dark, Harry had the same plan.
"Well, you can tell Cedric, and it will remove some of the Hufflepuff prejudices against you." Hermione said that because she was a witch and not as famous as Harry, and Maple had such a strong boyfriend, Hufflepuff treated her too
Equally dissatisfied, but not as overly targeted as Harry.
"Hmm." Harry didn't expect Hermione to think about this, and felt very comfortable in his heart.
They returned to Gryffindor's common room, where Maple was still waiting for them, no, it was supposed to be her. Harry went upstairs after saying goodnight to them, Harry's heart was in a mess, and he was in no mood to appreciate their kiss before going to bed.
