Chapter 290: Harry Gets News

A week before the competition, students from the third grade and above can go to Hogsmeade.

"Nyx, come with us to Hogsmeade." Harry invited, he was under too much pressure to take a break.

Nyx shook his head, "Time is running out, I still have to prepare the armor for Neville." You and Hermione go."

Harry said, "You have to come with us, or they'll say I'm dating Hermione, and they'll think what the Daily Prophet says is true."

Nick thought for a moment, "You can go in the Cloak of Invisibility so no one can see you with Hermione."

Harry spun around and asked. "I remember your sister and Luna can go to Hogsmeade too, aren't you worried about them?"

"They're not going, I need helpers, I'm training Neville, I don't have time to play, let's wait until the first project is over."

Harry turned to Tifa and said, "Tifa, Hogsmeade has a lot to do, don't you want to go?"

"Of course I wanted to go, but my brother gave me a condition that I couldn't refuse." Tifa said.

Hermione wondered, "What conditions?"

"Next time we go to Hogsmeade together, he'll pay for the purchases." Tifa pulls out a list: "I have a lot of things I want to buy, which is related to my trip with Luna, but I don't have enough pocket money."

Harry would love to say come with me and I'll buy it for you. But Tifa's going doesn't mean that the Knicks go, if the Knicks don't go, then he takes a few girls shopping together, and the rumors don't know what to do.

Eventually, Harry went to Hogsmeade with the Cloak of Invisibility.

The Knicks take Tifa and Neville to do the armor.

Fish scale armor is easy to make, just stick the fried tail shell cut into small pieces and glue it to a sturdy garment. By the way, Neville was given a tower shield and a sword.

Neville was imposing, and Tifa liked it so much that he found some fried tail shells and soaked them in the Nix's softener, intending to make one for himself.

The scale armor is not the same as the plate armor, although the snail shell hardens again after being soaked in neutralizer, but the armor is still somewhat soft overall.

Pure armor can't protect against attacks such as claw strikes and tail sweeps. It would be much better to have a shield, but with Neville's clumsiness, the shield can easily be knocked off, so Knicks attached the shield to Neville's arm, and he only had to adjust the angle of the shield when facing enemies.

The sword is not fixed, and the great sword that is thrown indiscriminately may injure Neville, and even if the sword is knocked down, he can use his wand against the enemy.

Neville can use the Flying Charm skillfully, but apart from the Flying Charm, the only thing he can guarantee to release is the Levitation Charm, which is not helpful in the fight.

Neville's Cultivator potions that he drank would increase his strength, and he could easily pick up a shield and sword when he wore full-body armor, but his physical strength was at stake.

Nix explained, "Neville, if the sword drops, pick it up, if you don't have a chance to pick it up, give it up." You can't spell, it's hard to deal with Cedric seniors, they have too many ways to defeat you."

Neville nodded.

"Wouldn't that make people think Neville was a coward?" Tifa asked.

Nicks didn't answer. Standing on the field and facing a dragon is the greatest affirmation of Neville, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have such courage.

After a day of training, Neville put his armor in the neutralizer again.

……

In the middle of the night, everyone was called out by Harry. Several people in the dormitory looked at Harry suspiciously.

Harry solemnly said, "The first project is a dragon."

"Dragon?" Seamus exclaimed.

Neville reacted for a moment, and exclaimed, "Dragon!"

Ron and the Knicks were very uneventful, they knew in advance what the first project would be, and even the news that Harry was going to see the dragon was told to him by Ron.

(In the movie, Ron said it, and in the book, Moody asked Hagrid to inform him.) )

Seamus shouted, "What is Dumbledore thinking! That's a dragon! Adult wizards can't handle it!"

Neville was stupefied and shivered,

Speechless.

Harry broke the news again: "There are seven dragons, one for each of them. I think they're going to have us face a dragon alone instead of working together."

Neville finally came to his senses, trembling, "Knicks, what should I do?"

"It's okay, our armor is immune to spells, and we're not afraid of the heat, so you can't do anything as long as you dodge the dragon behind the shield. There's no need to complete the project, we're not here for the prize money."

Harry was thoughtful, he wasn't there for the prize, he didn't even know who gave him his name.

Seamus regretted it, he didn't expect the game to be so dangerous, and he knew that he wouldn't have thrown his name in it for the sake of being famous.

Ron didn't speak, and collapsed on the bed trying to sleep.

Nick said, "It's useless to say anything now, let's go to the library tomorrow and maybe find a way to deal with dragons."

Neville worried, "Nix, I'm not going to be eaten by dragons, am I?"

"No, trust me, that armor can definitely stop the dragon, you just have to swing your sword at it, depending on the situation."

The Knicks' words reassured Neville.

The next day, the Knicks were woken up again.

When I opened my eyes, everyone in the dormitory was still there, everyone had some light or heavy dark circles under their eyes, and it was obvious that they hadn't slept well.

When she saw Tifa in the common room, she was surprised: "Brother, what did you do last night, everyone has dark circles under their eyes."

"Nothing, we know the first project."

"The first project? What is it? Tell me quickly." Tifa was very excited.

"Dragons." Nick Dow.

Harry added, "There's a dragon for everyone."

Tifa took a moment to digest the information, looking at Neville with guilt in his eyes, asking Neville to fight the dragon was tantamount to sending him to his death.

Noticing his sister's eyes, Nicks explained, "It's okay, I can guarantee that Neville will survive and maybe complete the first project, I don't think they really set the project as killing a dragon, that would be too difficult for most wizards to do."

When she meets Hermione at breakfast, she notices that the dark circles under everyone's eyes ask the same question as Tifa.

After explaining, Hermione also suggested going to the library to find a way to deal with the dragon.

A group of people came to the library and found all the books about dragons.

According to the book, dragon skins have strong magic resistance, ordinary spells are useless, only some ancient spells can have an effect, they are powerful, their teeth are sharp, they can easily bite steel, most dragons can breathe fire, and very few dragons can't fly. Different dragons are also strengthened in some ways.

"Harry, do you remember what dragons they were?" Seamus asked.

Harry shook his head, "Charlie told me, but I don't remember them, but they're all different, and I can't tell them apart."

"That is, we have to prepare a way to deal with all the dragons." Hermione said.

"We've only got a week, and we'd better find a universal approach," Nix said.

Harry nodded.
