Chinese students at Hogwarts

The next day, Harry woke up and dressed absentmindedly. It took him a moment to realize that he was putting his hat on his feet like a sock.

His chest felt heavy, as if something was blocking it, making him unable to breathe.

Fire dragon, that's a fire dragon!

After finally getting dressed, there was no movement on Ron's bed.

"Ron, Ron?" Harry took out the smelly sock stuffed in his shoe, put it to his nose and smelled it, his face wrinkled, and he threw it into the dirty clothes bin in disgust.

If there's anything good about Hogwarts, it's that you don't have to do many things yourself. You only need to send the dirty clothes basket with your name on it to the laundry room.

After putting on his shoes and stomping on the ground a few times, Harry put on his scarf, only to find that Ron's bed was still motionless.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Harry stepped forward and lifted Ron's bright red curtain embroidered with the Gryffindor logo.

Then he saw his friend staring blankly at the top of the curtain.

"Harry - I dreamed about a fire dragon -" Ron said with a dull look on his face: "It swallowed me in one bite without even chewing it."

"I kept crying in its belly. It was very dark there. Not long after, you came in too."

Even though Harry was upset about the fire dragon, he couldn't help but laugh and comfort him:

"No, Ron, Dumbledore said that he will ensure everyone's safety, and there are props made by Nick Flamel."

Um? Ron's eyes began to move and he looked at Harry.

"And that's Nico Flamel! The maker of the Philosopher's Stone, don't you still believe in Nico Flamel?" Harry struck while the iron was hot and continued to encourage.

Ron's face brightened, he slowly got up and started to put on his clothes:

"You're right."

They hurried to the Great Hall for a tasteless meal and then called Cedric and Neville.

"Fire dragon? Harry, you mean the fire dragon?"

Cedric, who had just received the news, raised his thick eyebrows high. Neville's round face was full of shock. He looked at Harry in shock, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

Harry nodded, looked around carefully, and whispered:

"That's definitely the case. Hagrid will never lie to us. He should have gotten some information."

"Why is Coco a fire dragon?" Neville had a grimace on his face, as if he had been deceived by his senior brother into eating a handful of Coptis chinensis in the mountains: "This is. This is a 5x level dangerous species. It is not something that little wizards can deal with. .”

"It's possible. The Goblet of Fire has always been such a dangerous project."

Hermione said seriously, and quickly recited a series of data:

"Because in the 1792 Hegemony Tournament, a cockatrice that the warriors were trying to capture was out of control and ran rampant, and all three principals were injured."

Ron let out a trembling groan, and even his voice changed its tone:

"Chickentail? What is that?"

"A variant of the basilisk, said to be more powerful and terrifying than the basilisk." Hermione's face also turned pale: "That accident not only led to the death of the warrior, but also caused the Goblet of Fire to be suspended until it is restarted."

Several young wizards were frightened. Their faces turned pale and they were silent, looking just like Malfoy.

"Should we ask Zhang? You know, he always has a way-" Ron asked softly.

Unexpectedly, this question received a unanimous answer from everyone:

"No!"

Malfoy looked very serious and said seriously:

"Weasley, Zhang is indeed our best friend and helper, but it is different now. We should regard him as our opponent."

Harry also agreed with Malfoy: "I hope that if we win, it will be on our own."

So does Neville and Hermione.

The atmosphere became silent again, and the dragon became a heavy pressure on everyone's hearts.

They walked around the lake three times, racking their brains and thinking of a way to subdue the fire dragon, but found nothing.

At Hermione's suggestion, several young wizards came to the library again, relying on Hermione's strong memory and ability to find books.

They found all the books about dragons.

There was a pile of books almost one meter high in front of everyone. The little wizard looked at these books with eyes wide open, but this was their last hope.

I could only sigh, prepare a large cup of coffee beside me, and start searching through a large pile of books like a needle in a haystack.

"'Using magic to trim claws... a treatment for scale ulcers...' is useless. This is for those weirdos like Hagrid who want the fire dragon to be strong..."

Harry put aside a copy of "Postpartum Care for Fire Dragons". He originally wanted to see if the book would mention anything that fire dragons were afraid of, but unfortunately he found nothing.

"Look at this -" Ron handed over a book that was thick enough to be used as a small bench and pointed to the section above:

"Dragons are extremely difficult to kill because their thick hides are permeated with ancient magic, and only the most powerful spells can penetrate it..."

The more Harry read, the more desperate he became:

"So, ordinary spells have no effect on them at all?"

"I'm afraid so. Charlie told me that when he first went to Romania, he used a stun spell on the fire dragon. It was like tickling the fire dragon!"

Ron recalled it and added:

"Look at Norbert, he's just a two-year-old baby dragon! Even the venom of the basilisk can't kill it!"

The little wizards' ears twitched, and they all felt a terrible bitterness in their mouths.

"Maybe I can find something useful if I look around a little bit longer," Harry said, throwing "The Man Who Loved Dragons" aside.

Malfoy said slowly:

"Actually, I know a way to deal with dragons."

The little wizard immediately looked at him expectantly, feeling that this captain was indeed of some use, and then heard the next sentence:

"But dark magic."

Bah, useless captain! Whatever is of some use does not mean it is of no use at all!

Cedric suddenly put down the book and said thoughtfully;

"I have thought of a way. What do you think of the Eye Spell? The dragon's scales have a strong protective effect, but the eyes do not. Generally speaking, eyes are weak points."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it seemed to make sense.

Hermione immediately ran out, found the relevant spell book, and found the Eye Spell:

"The Eye Disease Curse [Conjunctivitus Curse] will cause the person who is cursed to lose vision and fall into pain. It has a wide range of effects. Almost any creature that relies on the eyes cannot escape the effects of the Eye Disease Curse."

The little wizards became excited and said eagerly:

"Quickly, let's see if this spell is difficult. Can we learn it?"

Hermione read quickly and closed the book with a bang, with a happy smile on her face:

"It's not difficult! This is just an unpopular spell, so few people know it. We don't need all of us to be able to do it. We only need two or three people to be able to do it."

Cedric raised his hand and grinned:

"I can!"

"marvelous"

"Cedric, you're the best!"

"I know you can do it!"

The little wizards cheered as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

Neville raised objections worriedly:

"But the eye disease spell can only make the dragon suffer or temporarily lose its vision, right? This will definitely make the dragon go crazy, but it will not subdue the dragon."

He spent some time in China and learned all about dogs jumping over walls and trapped beasts still fighting.

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone.

What Neville said seems to make sense. The first game event can't be hide and seek with the dragon, right?

If you really want to fight a giant dragon, it seems like it will have no effect except irritating the dragon.

"Bah!" Harry clapped his hands twice, cheering up and encouraging everyone:

"Although the eye disease spell has shortcomings, it is indeed a direction. Cedric's idea is very useful. I think we can try to find other spells.

Maybe one of them works? "

The little wizards thought for a while and felt that what Harry said made sense, so they enthusiastically found a large pile of spell books and began to read them one by one.

"Conversion spell - it can transfer one thing into another thing. Do you think this is useful?"

"Conversion spell?

…But what’s the use of conversion? Unless you convert its fangs into gummy candies or something to make it less dangerous... The problem is, like the book says, not many things can penetrate dragon skin..."

"Or transform it?"

"But you will definitely not succeed in transforming such a huge creature! Again, the dragon's body is full of ancient magic. I doubt that even Professor McGonagall...unless you cast the spell on yourself? Use it. Increase your own strength?"

Ron suddenly said excitedly: "Like Zhang? The time in the second grade, when you used the transformation technique to transform into a giant, and then manipulated the giant's body?"

"But they are not simple spells. I mean, I asked Professor McGonagall. They are very, very difficult. In addition to very advanced transformation techniques, they also need to be very strong.

Professor McGonagall guessed that Zhang's state could not be maintained for long. Didn't he have a unique way to temporarily improve his strength? "

Hermione said quickly: "It's the one we saw in the club, it seemed to be called -"

"King Ming Realm!" Neville took over the words dully. He had heard his senior brother introduce this magical state, and he also learned about it in the dungeon when he communicated with his senior brother. He also briefly entered that state. A magical state.

"Yes! That's a very, very strange spell. I guess even if Zhang turns into a giant and fights, it won't take more than 3 minutes!"

Hermione glanced at Neville appreciatively before finally coming to a conclusion.

"Oh - what should we do then?" The little wizards looked at each other and sighed deeply. It is really difficult to be a warrior.

Just when the little wizards were forgetting to eat and sleep.

The principals of the other seven schools couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at the notes in their hands or the news they heard.

Although they had made suggestions for specific projects, they did not know the details at all. This time, the Ministry of Magic rarely took extremely strict protective measures.

Even the Fidelity Charm was used, and the secret keeper was Dumbledore.

So no news was revealed in advance.

They looked at the messages they received and fell into deep thinking.

Is there actually a dragon in the first competition event?

This is indeed a very difficult question.
