Volume 46 I Just Want to Protect a Phoenix, What's Wrong with Me?

"Hmm...... Well?! ”

Fleur was nodding her head constantly, and when she heard Harry's last words, she was suddenly stunned.

Isn't there something wrong with this logic?

I seem to be ...... now It's because I can't defeat the fire dragons that I don't know how to deal with them, so I'm worried here, right?

If I could kill the dragon, why am I so nervous now?

"Just kidding." Harley smirked evilly and stuck out her tongue, "Killing the dragon is definitely the worst option. ”

"After all, the fire dragon is leased by the Ministry of Magic from the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary, and if we kill the fire dragon casually, it will definitely bring a lot of economic losses to the Ministry of Magic."

"The Ministry of Magic won't allow this to happen, although the rules don't say it, and there's no reason for us to lose money, but the score will definitely be depressed by then."

Listening to Harry's words, Fleur's expression became more and more wrong, and Hermione couldn't help but rub her forehead.

This is the reason not to kill the fire dragon...... It's really outrageous!

Harley was still quickly analyzing the weaknesses of the fire dragon: "There is only one core idea for the competition, and the weaknesses are studied. ”

"The fire dragon is huge, but the eyes and nasal cavity are relatively fragile, which is the two major weaknesses of the fire dragon's body."

"The eyelids of the fire dragon are different from the skin of other parts, and it doesn't have much magic resistance, so even if you close your eyes and take a spell, it will be very uncomfortable."

"And the fire dragon's nasal cavity is also a major weakness of theirs, but to be precise, it should be said that the nasal cavity and the oral cavity are considered a weakness."

"If you use magic to interfere with these two parts of the fire dragon, there is a good chance that the fire dragon will not be able to spew dragon breath."

"And most importantly, at this time, the dragon breath of the fire dragon has already been created,"

Hermione flipped through the heavy book in her hand and picked up Harry's words,

"Therefore, too much dragon breath accumulates in the mouth of the fire dragon, which is very likely to make its own magic lose control, causing certain harm and interference to the fire dragon."

"And then there's the dragon's resistance to spirit-type magic," Harley said again,

"Because they are almost free of natural predators in nature, dragons are not focused enough, and are more likely to be attracted by large or dynamic creatures."

"There are two proofs of this, one is that when a wizard accidentally encountered a ferocious wild fire dragon in the wild, he used Transfiguration to turn the stone next to it into a big dog."

According to the wizard's account, the dragon immediately chose to chase the big dog that was running, and ignored himself, allowing himself to save his life.

"I've also seen a case where someone used psychic hypnosis type magic to force a fire dragon into a deep sleep......

Harley and Hermione, you quickly analyzed a set of plans to deal with the fire dragon.

Fleur was stunned on the sidelines, she didn't have any clue, but others had even sorted out how many sets of methods!

Are you a seventh-grade student, or are the two little witches in front of you seventh-grade students?

And a lot of the knowledge they talk about is completely untouched.

Is this genius? Loved, loved.

…………

In less than a morning, the three of them had developed several detailed plans that were most feasible.

This includes not only the case of a single person facing a fire dragon, but also the situation where six Warriors are on the court at the same time and facing six or seven fire dragons.

The latter is obviously much more difficult than the former, after all, during the game, there may be interference from the fire dragon that other warriors need to fight against or the magic released by the other warriors themselves.

And Harley thinks that this scenario is very likely.

Charlie also said last night that to avoid the waste of fire dragons as much as possible, then the best plan is to let all fire dragons and warriors appear at the same time.

However, Harley estimates that when it comes to the competition, she will not use a set of plans.

After all, relying on pure magical power and the power of Sequence Four alone was enough to crush it by itself.

For Harley, these options can only be an emergency option.

"Okay, that's all there should be."

After putting down the quill pen, Harley looked at the parchment written in front of her,

"There are less than three weeks to prepare, and it is enough to take a day to boil fire prevention and treatment agents."

"The rest of the time, we can do a little bit of practice."

"Actual combat practice?"

"Well, that's right." Hallie nodded, "Calculate the time, Hedwig should have delivered the letter." ”

"The Godfather needs a little time, but with Professor Dumbledore's help...... Then about three days, no more than a week at the latest, and everything should be in place. ”

"Then it's decided, let's boil the potions that need to be used today."

…………

During the few days of waiting, in addition to brewing potions, Fleur practiced a lot of magic that might be used.

As for the usual classes, Fleur would only attend Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts classes.

Potions, Herbology, and other electives available at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, all of which Fleur chose to forgot.

Hallie, on the other hand, was still attending various classes as normal, and did not use the Warriors' right to request from the professor and dean before the tournament to not attend classes.

Even the Transfiguration Club and the Charms Club, as well as Professor Snape's confinement and Professor Barburing's private lessons, Hallie was not absent.

On top of that, Hallie spent several afternoons consulting with Professor Sprout.

For the unique magic of several other schools of witchcraft and wizardry, the magic of the wizardry is too biased towards the Eastern system, and it is not recorded in the Hogwarts library at all.

And considering that there are no books related to the Blotted bookstore, it is impossible to tell anything from the name alone, so Harley will not waste time on the Shikigami magic that magic has mastered.

And the magic that other magic schools are good at, Harley herself is also involved, and her level is even much better than that of the warriors of other magic schools.

Even the unique secret that Fleur had prepared to use to subdue the fire dragon, Harley believed that she was far superior to her.

Harley dared to pat her chest and promise that as long as she wanted to, it didn't matter if it was a human or a magical animal, no matter what gender or orientation it was, she could easily achieve the effect of magic.

Only Castrobusche's botanical magic is very mysterious, but it seems that there are clues to it.

After flipping through the books in the forbidden section, but not finding much information about them, Hallie chose to ask Professor Sprout for advice.

After all, Professor Sprout has worked in the field of herbalism for so many years, and must have his own unique understanding.

Professor Sprout is also a master in the field of herbalism, usually seemingly inconspicuous, but he is very proficient in plant-related magic.

Upon hearing that Harley was preparing for the Six F.A. Tournament, Professor Spratt immediately showed off a lot of magic without reservation.

In addition to the spells developed solely to benefit the development of herbs, such as spells to cure herbs, Professor Sprout also showed Harley a variety of unique techniques for manipulating plants in battle.

Under the magical manipulation of Professor Sprout, the magic plant Devil's Net, which even the most ordinary, first-year wizard can deal with, has changed.

It was as if they had acquired human intelligence in an instant, and they had become larger, and they were no longer afraid of light and fire.

Dangerous plants that were only learned in the upper grades, such as bubble pods, poisonous tentacles, and fanged geraniums, became more dangerous in Professor Sprout's hands.

For example, the shiny beans spit out by the bubble pod are not lethal, but when they come into contact with solid objects, they will immediately take root and sprout, and bloom quickly.

However, after being enhanced by Professor Sprout's magic, these beans are extremely parasitic, allowing them to settle directly on solid objects they touch, and inflict heavy damage on the host in every way.

Professor Sprout even demonstrated a special magic that caused the broken branches of a beating willow to instantly drain the nutrients contained in the surrounding ground, turning it into a giant beating willow with lush leaves.

Each whip wielded by the beating willow could shatter the slabs that had been strengthened by reinforcement magic, and was several times more powerful than the beating willow in Hogwarts.

Harley has also had the experience of fighting the cultivators of the Mother Earth Church of God in the fifth sequence of the pathway, and has seen the druids fighting with plants, and experienced the power of these extraordinary abilities.

But Hallie felt that Professor Spratt was probably a head above these druids in terms of comprehensiveness and combat effectiveness.

However, Professor Sprout himself was not particularly satisfied, telling Harley that Hogwarts used to have more powerful plant magic.

According to Professor Sprat, there was a mysterious and powerful plant called "Oriental Brussels sprouts".

With this plant, it is combined with a unique magic that can even produce a power that is even more powerful than the Curse!

Unfortunately, I didn't know what was going on at the time, and this magic didn't survive.

Over the next few days, Professor Spratt unreservedly instructed Hallie and taught her all sorts of things.

And Hallie lived up to Professor Sprout's hard work, spending four days of free time learning the magic.

However, she had only just learned, and it would take a lot of practice to gain a deeper understanding of the magic.

Of course, that was enough for Hallie, who had just wanted to learn about Castrobusche's combat methods.

And, there are more important things waiting for Hallie.

Sirius is coming.

…………

Exactly two weeks before the match, Sirius appeared in Professor Dumbledore's office, followed by an old man.

When Harley received a note from Professor Dumbledore and came to the Headmaster's office, the two old men were laughing and chatting.

And Fawkes was standing on the table in front of the old man, enjoying a handful of fresh herbs.

Sirius, on the other hand, was drinking black tea, listening to the old people, and staring at his great-grandfather by the way.

Although it was the first time they met in reality, Harley quickly remembered the identity of the old man based on the photos in the newspaper -

Newt Scamander, an internationally renowned Fantastic Beasts expert, has written Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Hogwarts' former conservation Fantastic Beasts textbook.

However, it was clear that the old man, despite his reputation in the wizarding world around the world, was not well received.

Because the first thing Harry heard when he entered the Headmaster's office was a question from Professor Dumbledore's soul:

"So...... You're smuggling into the UK again, right? Newt? ”

The old headmasters on the wall all closed their eyes and forcibly suppressed the smiles on their lips.

Some people who really can't help it also choose to cover their mouths, or even bury their heads in their clothes.

After all, everyone is a professional principal and has received professional training, and it is absolutely impossible to laugh in the face of this situation, unless you can't help it.

However, there was no trace of embarrassment on Uncle Newt's face, and he even nodded, with a depressed face:

"yes, it's really hateful! I just want to go back to England, to my dear homeland! ”

"Those bitches of the British Ministry of Magic! They didn't want me to come back! ”

"It's time for you to reflect on yourself, Newt!"

An old Hufflepuff-born headmaster couldn't stand it,

"Think about the cities you've been! Think of poor New York and Paris! ”

"Why don't you let you go? Shame on the Hufflepuffs! ”

"Ahem, ahem." Professor Dumbledore suddenly coughed a few times in quick succession, apparently remembering something bad.

It just so happened that he noticed Harley at the door, and there was a look of surprise on his face that didn't seem to be fake:

"Ah, Hallie! You're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a while! ”

Fawkes also let out an excited chirp, and the herbs in front of him were no longer fragrant, but plunged into Harley's arms.

After saying hello to Headmaster Dumbledore, and being rubbed by Sirius, who was excited to see her goddaughter, Harley bowed slightly to Newt:

"Hello, Mr. Scamander. When we first met, my name was Halle Potter. Just call me Hallie. ”

"Hello, Harry."

Newt raised his hand kindly, as if he were the old men at the entrance of the Muggle community who lay on the deck chairs and basked in the sun every day.

If there was one thing he was different from those old men, it was that he did not hold a fan or a teacup in his hand, but a small black suitcase tightly.

"Looks like Fox likes you a lot. This is really unusual, after all, the phoenixes are so vigilant that even Fawkes was wary when he first saw me, as if I was going to capture her. ”

"As a result of these traits, I haven't been able to raise one yet...... I mean, effectively protect a phoenix. ”

Newt sighed, and at the same time sighed harmlessly.

Fawkes, who was in Hallie's arms, suddenly raised his head and let out a long series of rapid, high-pitched chirps.

"Poof!" Professor Dumbledore laughed straight and unabashedly,

"Newt, you know what? Fox just scolded you for lying, saying that you were shameless and weaving lies. ”

"Ahem, ahem...... I'm a magizoologist, so I don't have a problem protecting the phoenix. ”

Newt's expression was a little embarrassed,

"I swear to you, Fawkes, I really just want to help you find a companion and study the reproduction of the phoenix so that your race can flourish."

"I just made the mistake that a Magiologist would make!"
