Chinese students at Hogwarts

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he left directly.

The Gryffindor table was silent. Harry and Ron lowered their heads and their bodies were trembling slightly.

They didn't dare to look at everyone's faces, and the words "Don't make me look down on you" kept echoing in their hearts.

"You are very powerful, better than us!" said a voice.

The two of them raised their heads and saw Colin Creevey holding up his camera and quickly taking a photo of them.

"I will collect these photos into a book after Goblet of Fire, called Road to Champions!"

Colin said seriously.

"Although everyone wants to be a warrior, we actually have no problem with you becoming a warrior. We feel that you deserve it."

Seamus shrugged, raised a glass of pumpkin juice and gestured to them:

"Let's go on well with our hope of winning the Goblet of Fire."

Fred and George fist bumped:

"Harry"

"And our stupid brother"

"We did a lot of Gryffindor championship fireworks"

“Get ready to make a killing”

"Don't let us lose money"

"otherwise."

"We will remember you forever!"

Li Qiaodan waved his fist:

"Come on, you have done many incredible things in the past few years. Is there any more suitable warrior than you?

We are Gryffindor! "

In fact, whether it is Harry, Malfoy, or Ron, they are all very strong. After all, the small duel club organized by Zhang Xiao is not that kind of thing.

But the crux of the problem is that they don't know how strong they are, and the only senior person they can compare themselves to is Cedric.

Unfortunately, Cedric is also in the Duel Club. Due to his age advantage, extraordinary talent, and serious training, Cedric's improvement has also been huge.

This led Harry and the others to think that normal seventh-grade students were at the same level as Cedric.

A clever misunderstanding.

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he ignored these little wizards who were worried about gains and losses. There were some things that he had to deal with by himself, such as how to face pressure correctly and adjust himself.

Passing through the door of the auditorium and walking through the withered garden, the cold morning wind brought a biting chill. It was almost December and the leaves on the branches were almost gone.

Only the bare branches were left stretching toward the sky in a strange posture. The weather was not good, it was gloomy, and there was a dull feeling that a storm was coming.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Xiao took out the small sword given by his father. He had already tried it on secretly looking for a place before. It was convenient, and he was also really handsome.

Throwing the small sword into the air, it grew into the wind. In just one short breath, it rolled in the air and turned into a thick giant sword. Zhang Xiao jumped up and stood firmly on the sword as if on a skateboard. On the body.

There was a huge adsorption force under my feet, which was very strong. I pushed my toes down a little, and I saw a sword light drawing a rainbow in the sky, and "whoosh" the whole person flew away.

The wind whistled in his ears and his clothes fluttered. The flying sword felt very different from that of a broom. It gave a sense of freedom and ease. Zhang Xiao only had a sense of monasticism until now. Riding a sword and flying in the wind is what the Chinese have to do. romantic.

Not long after, Jianguang came to a hilltop not far away. There was a bluestone slab here, which was very flat. Yujian accidentally discovered it when he was wandering around a few days ago. Zhang Xiao fell in love with it at just one glance.

These days I come here to stand and box in the morning.

Jumping down from mid-air, the long sword under his feet also made a loud sword cry, became smaller and smaller, and chased Zhang Xiao.

When it hit the ground, the small sword came right in and fell into the Qiankun bag on his waist.

Zhang Xiao looked down at the scenery below the mountain with his hands behind his back. The morning fog in the valley was unusually dense. It surged with the wind under his feet, like running water and gauze, which had a special meaning.

A strong wind blew, and the thick fog below drifted with the wind, and a strange thing suddenly appeared.

Um? what is that?

Zhang Xiao opened his eyes and looked curiously, but he could only see a few corners of the building. Before he could take a closer look, the thick fog that had just been blown away by the wind quickly gathered and covered the place again.

Something was wrong, Zhang Xiao suddenly realized, this fog seemed to be caused by magic!

Hiss - Looking at the endless dense fog, who has such a powerful magic?

There was no doubt that he was reminded of the fog that once shrouded most of New York - and there was no doubt about the answer.

Dumbledore!

There is no need to think about why it takes so much trouble to create fog, it is the first event of the competition.

The four little ones walked in silence, stepping on the frozen and dry ground. Hagrid said that the things he ordered before had arrived, and invited them to go over and carry out the next stage of the transformation plan.

Hermione freed her face from the tight scarf, exhaled a large puff of white air, and looked helplessly at the three boys with heavy faces.

After what happened in the auditorium, the three of them didn't look as nervous as before.

But he became taciturn and worried.

The encouragement and cheering of the young wizards did eliminate their unconfidence, but it brought another problem, that is, everyone's enthusiasm and they felt that they needed to keep the Goblet of Fire in Hogwarts.

At least get a good ranking.

"Do you think Hagrid can succeed?" Hermione decided to lighten the mood by saying something light-hearted.

Sure enough, the little wizards raised their heads in confusion and began to think, and their solemn expressions gradually melted away.

"It's definitely possible. Except for Hagrid, I've never seen anyone over 3 meters tall." Ron made a decisive conclusion.

Harry remembered that Dumbledore, who was already very tall, only reached Madame Maxime's belly, and nodded in agreement.

Malfoy snorted: "Granger, are you questioning the Malfoy family's taste in clothing and style? There is absolutely no way there is a problem!"

They arrived at Hagrid's cabin noisily. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Zhang Xiao sitting inside waving to them.

The atmosphere that had just eased suddenly sank again. It was not that they had any complaints against Zhang Xiao, but a sense of shame.

Hagrid scratched his big, bushy head, looked at the little guy with his head down in confusion, and then glanced at Zhang Xiao, who looked normal and was still drinking tea:

"Uh, did you guys have a fight?"

He pulled the three people in and said in a rough voice:

"If you ask me, you are the best friends. That was the case with Sirius and the four of them back then. There will inevitably be some quarrels between friends, but it's nothing like that."

Hermione shook her head and sighed helplessly:

"Hagrid, there was no quarrel. I don't know what to say."

"It's our own problem!" Harry pursed his lips and raised his head, with relief and determination in his emerald green eyes: "It's because we are afraid and feel that we can't do it well and are not qualified warriors.

What Zhang said is absolutely correct. If I were Zhang, I would look down on myself as I was before! "

Malfoy then said: "I will prove myself in the Goblet of Fire!"

Hagrid was confused as he watched several little guys talking about things he didn't understand. He picked up the sizzling kettle on the stove and poured a glass of water for them:

"It's good that we didn't quarrel. By the way - what should we do next?"

He pointed to the pile of things piled on the bed, rubbed his hands the size of a cattail leaf fan, and said with both anticipation and nervousness.

Malfoy pinched his chin and looked at it, his eyebrows furrowed:

"Didn't I say before that my hair also needs some modifications?"

"Leave this question to me." Zhang Xiao smiled: "Elf Housekeeping Service Company has training courses in this area, and we just took this opportunity to test their training results."

Hagrid grinned: "Yes, that's one of the reasons why I invited Zhang over."

Just as the crisp finger snapping sound came, Zhang Xiao called out the name of the best elf in the beauty and hairdressing course: "Toto!"

With a slight popping sound, a house elf wearing a white shirt and a small bow tie appeared in front of him. He blinked his bright eyes the size of tennis balls and looked around.

He shouted cheerfully to Zhang Xiao:

"The most noble and kind boss, Toto reports to you!"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Leave it to you!"

The elf nodded vigorously, then raised his head and looked at Hagrid. He was too tall, and the elf almost fell back. In the end, he had to use magic to float himself up.

Toto walked around Hagrid several times and nodded affirmatively:

"Toto has an idea!"

Several little wizards watched in amazement as Toto began to get busy. He first transformed into a huge barber chair, then transformed into a mirror, and took out a set of very high-end-looking barber tools and belts to hang on his body. , but these tools on the belt look very mini, which makes people doubt whether these things are useful.

"Sir, could you please sit down?"

The elf said to Hagrid softly.

"Oh, are you sitting here?"

Hagrid had never had a haircut before. He always cut his hair randomly with the tools used to shave unicorns. He sat awkwardly on the chair and watched the elf snap his fingers, and a snow-white hair was cut. The cloth was tied around his neck, covering his body.

"Toto is starting!"

After the elf said something, his slender fingers were dancing rapidly in the air, as if he was playing an exciting piece of music.

All the small scissors on its belt flew up, grew larger in the air, and seemed to have a life of their own, cutting quickly on Hagrid's head.

"Kacha kacha" strands of hair fell to the ground. Toto snapped his fingers again, and a ball of water floated above Hagrid's head, like a drizzle of rain, soaking his hair.

Toto's expression was serious and solemn. He operated the razor carefully and followed the training course. He first cut Hagrid's beard short, then applied a hot towel to his face, and finally shaved Hagrid's beard clean.

The little wizards looked at Toto and the several scissors flying up and down around it in amazement. Among other things, they were amazed by the controllability of this magic.

After Toto snapped his fingers and bowed gracefully to everyone, Hagrid had completely changed.

The originally messy long hair has been replaced by a lean hairstyle, which looks refreshing and energetic.

"Incredible!"

The little wizards couldn't believe it was Hagrid.

After he finished putting on the customized suit and watch, what appeared in front of him was a brand new big man.

After carefully folding the handkerchief and putting it in Hagrid's pocket, the little wizards clapped together:

"Hagrid, absolutely no problem!"

"You're about to participate in the magazine's selection of the most attractive men!"

Hagrid looked in the mirror for a long time and even shed tears of joy. He hugged the little wizards one by one and thanked them for their help.

The little wizards had to spend a lot of time comforting him.

Hagrid finally regained his composure. He looked at the darkening sky outside the window and suddenly said with some annoyance:

"By the way, I almost forgot why I called you here."

He walked to the window and looked around for a while, then cautiously drew the curtains.

He walked over mysteriously and lowered his voice:

"The first project is about to begin. Are you ready?"

The little wizards looked at each other and shook their heads in distress: "We don't even know what the project is,"

Hagrid laughed, his eyes kept drifting in one direction:

"I mean, what if... if you were asked to deal with a fire dragon, would you be able to do anything?"

Following his line of sight, chubby Norbert was lying in his little nest sleeping soundly.

It was already winter. Although fire dragons did not need to hibernate, their sleep time in winter was indeed much longer than in other seasons.

Even though it was warm in the cabin, nature still made Norbert fall into a sweet dream.

Zhang Xiao's heart moved, fire dragon? Is the first project still a fire dragon?

This shouldn't be the case. The original first project was just to take the golden eggs from the fire dragon, but now there are five people.

If it is still similar to the original competition, then this will not be challenging at all.

But what does Hagrid's hint mean?

Not only Zhang Xiao, but other little wizards also reacted quickly. They opened their mouths in surprise, and their eyes moved back and forth between Norbert and Hagrid.

Stuttering and asked:

"Fire dragon? Let us go and deal with the fire dragon?"

Hagrid waved his hand hurriedly:

"I mean if it's just a hypothesis!"

Ron cried in mourning, his voice already trembling a little:

"Charlie told me that to subdue a giant dragon, at least seven or eight well-trained dragon wizards are needed. They are specially trained and are professionals. But even so, several people die in the dragon's mouth every year. "

"Gudu!"

The eyes of the little wizards were straight. Just now, there was another crack in the trust and confidence of the students to encourage them to reply.

Fire dragon! This is a fire dragon!

They bid farewell to Hagrid in despair, and walked towards the castle in vain.

Zhang Xiao looked at Noble thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered the amazing glimpse he had in the morning - the huge building hidden by the fog.

He always felt that the first project would not be that simple.

Perhaps, this competition will far exceed my expectations.

Hey, interesting!
