Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 208 Contents of the 1st Project

I think my parents gave me strength.I know that if they could see me now, they would be very proud of me.

Yes, I still cry for them sometimes at night, and I feel no shame in admitting it.

I know nothing can hurt me in the game because they are watching over me. . .

Ron couldn't help laughing when he saw this. If it weren't for the following content, Maple and Hermione would probably be like him -

——Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts. He was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger. Miss Granger was stunningly beautiful and was born into a Muggle family. Like Harry, she She is also one of the top students in the school, and she is also one of the candidates for the Triwizard Tournament.

I hope Harry won't be carried away by love and deliberately lose to his girlfriend in the competition. . .

Ever since the article appeared, Harry had had to endure people - mostly Slytherin students - quoting words from the article and making snide remarks at you as he passed.

"Would you like a handkerchief, Potter, to save you from crying in Transfiguration?"

"When did you become the top student in the school, Potter? Maybe you and Longbottom started this school together, right?"

"Hey-Harry!"

"Yeah, that's right!" Harry couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, turning around in the corridor suddenly, "I just made my eyes red from crying for my dead mother, and now I have to cry again..."

"No - I'm just saying - you dropped your quill."

It turned out to be Cho Chang, and Harry felt his face turn red.

"Oh - okay - sorry." He muttered under his breath and took the quill.

"Well, good luck to you on Tuesday," she said, "and I really hope you do well."

This made Harry feel dazed and his mind went blank.

"Amazingly beautiful? Her?" Pansy Parkinson said strangely when she first met Hermione after Rita's article was published. "What is she judged on - a chipmunk?"

"Ignore it!" Hermione said to Maple beside her. She held her head high and strode past the giggling Slytherin girls, as if she didn't hear anything.

"I agree. In the eyes of female toads, male toads are the most beautiful. There is no need for us to judge the aesthetics of toads." Maple said, and Hermione chuckled.

"Asshole, who are you calling a toad?" Pansy Parkinson yelled at Maple.

Maple glared at her, and Pansy Parkinson felt a chill rise in her heart, and she immediately woke up.She lost her mind under Maple's ridicule and almost forgot that this was an evil god she couldn't afford to offend.

As long as Pansy Parkinson did not say the forbidden word, Maple would not take action against her as a witch.

After using a look full of threats to calm down Pansy, Maple ignored him and left with Hermione.

Time flew by, and on the weekend before the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, Hagrid suddenly asked Hedwig to give Harry a note, asking him and Hermione to go to his cabin at twelve o'clock in the evening.

Judging from the two designated people, Harry and Hermione, it is not difficult to guess that Hagrid sent them there to get information about the Triwizard Tournament.

Harry readily agreed, but Hermione was a little hesitant. She seemed to be concerned about cheating.

In the end, it was only after Maple said, "Are you sure the other houses will obey the rules" that Hermione agreed to go with Harry.

By 11:30 pm, Harry and Hermione came downstairs, but there were still a few people in the common room.The Creevey brothers, who are Harry's biggest fans, got a bunch of badges supporting Cedric Diggory from nowhere and are trying to use magic to turn the words on them into supporting Harry Potter.However, all they managed to do was get the badge fixed on Potter's stinking turd.

"It's already very late, why don't you go back to bed." Maple used her wand to turn her clothes into pajamas, walked over and said to them.

"Let's get this done and go to bed," Colin said.

"Let's do it tomorrow! Well!" Colin wanted to object, but after Maple frowned and glared at him, she immediately pulled her brother upstairs.

"You guys go over there quickly!" After Maple drove the Creevey brothers away, Harry, who was wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and Hermione, who was using the Disembodiment Charm, opened the door to the common room and headed towards Hagrid's cabin.

It was dark on the site, but Hagrid's hut was still lit, and Beauxbatons' huge carriage parked next to his hut was also brightly lit, so Harry and Hermione could easily find the direction of Hagrid's hut without the need for fluorescent spells. .

Madame Maxime could be heard talking in the carriage as Harry and Hermione knocked on Hagrid's door.

"Are you here, Harry and Hermione?" Hagrid whispered, opening the door and looking around.

"Yeah, why did you call us here?" Harry and Hermione walked into Hagrid's hut. Hermione lifted the disillusionment spell and Harry took off the invisibility cloak from his head.

"Let me show you something," Hagrid said.

Hagrid looked very excited. There was a flower stuck in the buttonhole of his clothes, which looked like a very large artichoke.It looked like he no longer applied machine grease to his hair, but he certainly spent a lot of time combing his hair, as both Harry and Hermione could clearly see the broken teeth of a comb in his hair.

"Is it about the Triwizard Tournament?" Hermione said, her face actually not very willing.Although Maple was temporarily persuaded, she still resented the cheating.

"You'll find out later." Hagrid did not tell them directly, but asked them to witness it with their own eyes.

"Follow me, don't make any noise, and use the invisibility cloak to make your bodies invisible," Hagrid said. "We don't take Fang with us, he won't like it..."

Harry put on the Invisibility Cloak again, and Hermione cast the Disillusionment Charm again.Then Hagrid opened the door to the hut and strode into the darkness.

Harry and Hermione hurriedly followed him. Hagrid's stride was so big that they had to jog to keep up.

After a while, they were surprised to find Hagrid walking towards Beauxbatons' carriage.

"Hagrid, what are you—"

"Shhh!" said Hagrid, and knocked three times on the door with the two crossed golden wands on it.

Harry still doesn't understand, but the smart Hermione already understands.It seems that Hagrid did reveal the first project to them, but he also brought Beauxbatons' headmaster along with him.

Madame Maxime opened the door.A silk shawl was wrapped around her extremely broad shoulders.She smiled slightly when she saw Hagrid.

"Ah, Hagrid, is it time?"

"Good evening," said Hagrid, smiling at her as he held out a hand to help her down the golden steps.

Madame Maxime turned around and closed the carriage door. Hagrid handed her his arm, and they walked together around the edge of the temporary paddock where Madam Maxime's giant winged horses were kept.

After a moment Madame Maxime asked: "Where are you taking me, Hagrid?"

"You'll like it," Hagrid said gruffly. "It's worth seeing, trust me. But don't tell anyone I brought you to see it, okay? You're not supposed to know."

"Of course not." Madame Maxime said, her long black eyelashes fluttering.

Harry and Hermione suffered a lot from following the two big men, Hagrid and Madame Maxime.After an unknown amount of time, when they walked far around the edge of the Forbidden Forest and the castle and lake were no longer visible, there was finally movement ahead——

Several men shouted loudly from the front. . .Then there was a deafening shrill roar. . .

Hagrid led Mrs. Maxim around a bush and stopped.Harry and Hermione followed and came near them.

Then, Harry and Hermione opened their mouths in surprise——

They saw the fire dragon!

Three very ferocious-looking adult fire dragons were imprisoned in a field surrounded by thick wooden boards. They were standing on their hind legs, roaring and snorting.

Streams of fire shot from their gaping fanged mouths into the dark night sky, their necks held high, their mouths fifty feet above the ground.A silver-blue fire dragon with a pair of long pointed points was angry and roaring at the wizard on the field; a green fire dragon with smooth scales was twisting and stamping its feet desperately; and finally there was a giant black dragon, bigger than The others were more like dinosaurs, and this one was the closest to them.

There are at least 20 wizards on the field, and every seven or eight wizards are responsible for dealing with a fire dragon.They struggled to subdue the three dragons by tugging at the chains that connected the thick leather straps that tied the dragon's legs to its neck.Harry and Hermione were completely stunned.

They raised their heads and saw the eyes of the black dragon from a high place above. The pupils were vertical like cat eyes. Whether it was fear or anger, the eyes were bulging.The black dragon made a terrible sound, a shrill and harsh wail. . .

"Stay there, Hagrid!" shouted a wizard near the fence, tugging tightly on the chain in his hand. "They can spit fire twenty feet away, and I've seen this Horntail spitting fire." Over forty feet!”

"How beautiful!" Hagrid said softly.

"It's no use!" another wizard shouted loudly, "Recite the Stunning Spell, count to three, and recite it together!"

Each dragon tamer drew his or her own wand.

"Collapse!" they shouted in unison, and the stun curse shot into the dark night sky like a rocket, and the bursting sparks fell on the thick scaly skin of the three dragons like showers.

The superimposition of the coma spells of several wizards had an unexpected effect. Except for wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore, a dragon that the wizard could never subdue was defeated.

The dragon closest to them stood precariously on its hind legs, its mouth wide open and letting out a silent roar. The flames in its nostrils suddenly went out, but the smoke was still rising.Then, slowly, it fell.

The powerful, multi-ton dragon with black scales fell to the ground with a loud crash that shook the trees behind them.

The dragon tamer put down his wand and walked towards the fallen dragons, each one like a hill.The dragon tamer hurriedly tightened the chains, tied them firmly to the iron pillars, and used his wand to drive the iron pillars deep into the ground.

"Want to take a closer look?" Hagrid asked Mrs. Maxim excitedly.They both walked towards the fence, Harry and Hermione following suit.The wizard who had just warned Hagrid to stay away turned around and was an acquaintance of both Harry and Hermione, Ron's brother Charlie Weasley.

"How are you, Hagrid?" He panted heavily and came over to talk to them. "They should be fine now. We gave them sleeping pills. They fell asleep all the way when they came. We thought we would let them sleep in the quiet night. When they wake up, they will feel better. But as you can see, they are not happy, not at all——"

"What kinds of things do you have here, Charlie?" Hagrid asked, staring at the black dragon closest to him with an almost adoring look in his eyes.The black dragon's eyes were still slightly open, with a thin yellow light shining under its wrinkled black eyelids.

"This is the Hungarian Horntail," Charlie introduced. "The smaller one over there is the Common Welsh Green Dragon, and the silver-blue one is the Swedish Brachysaurus."

Charlie looked around. Mrs. Maxim was walking along the field, staring at the three stunned fire dragons.

"I didn't expect you to bring her too, Hagrid," Charlie said, frowning, "A warrior shouldn't know what he's going to face. She will definitely tell her students!"

"I just think she is willing to come and see it." Hagrid shrugged his shoulders, still staring at the dragon infatuatedly.

"What a romantic date, Hagrid." Charlie said, shaking his head helplessly.

"There are three in total," Hagrid said. "So, each warrior needs to deal with one, right? What do they need to do, fight the fire dragon?"

"I think it's probably just passing by the fire dragon." Charlie said, "If the situation goes bad, we can come to the rescue at any time and recite the extinguishing spell to the fire dragon. What they want are the female dragons that are laying nests and hatching eggs. I don't understand why. , but I can tell you that anyone who encounters the Hungarian Horntail will not get a good harvest. It is just as dangerous behind it as it is in front, you see-"

Charlie pointed at the Horntail's tail, and Harry and Hermione saw long, bronze-colored spines emerging from the tail every few inches.

At this time, Charlie's five dragon-taming companions walked toward the Horntail with one foot high and one foot low. They carried a blanket with a nest of huge, granite-gray dragon eggs inside.They carefully placed the eggs next to the Horntails.Hagrid couldn't restrain his inner desire and groaned.

"I've counted them, Hagrid," said Charlie sternly.Then he added: "How are Harry and Hermione?"

"Not bad," Hagrid said, still staring at the egg.

"I really hope they are still safe after facing this danger." Charlie looked at the field where the dragon was kept, and said thoughtfully, "I dare not tell my mother what Harry will do in the first project. Mom is already panicking about him..."

Charlie imitated his mother's anxious voice and said, "'How could they let him play in that tournament, he's so young! I thought they were all going to be okay, I thought there was an age limit!'

After the Daily Prophet article about Harry was published, my mother burst into tears. 'He's still crying for his parents!Oh, God bless me, I had no idea! '"

Hermione quietly patted Harry's hand. They already knew what the first project was about and there was no need to stay any longer.Moreover, Hagrid's heart has been filled up with the charming four dragons and Madame Maxime, and he may have forgotten them at this moment.

Harry understood what Hermione meant, and the two returned to the castle together.

The two people who were invisible along the way were silent. Even Hermione couldn't stay calm after knowing that the first task was to deal with a fifty-foot-tall dragon, covered with scales and spikes, and breathing fire from its nose.

However, Harry felt uneasy about the upcoming game all the way, and after Hermione calmed down for a while, she began to search her memory and think about ways to deal with the dragon.

After thinking about it, Hermione realized that she had no way to deal with the dragon.She only knew that the magic resistance of dragons was very high, she did not know the weakness of the dragon's eyes, and the methods used by Charlie Weasley and others to deal with dragons could not be used by one person.

When faced with such unsolvable problems, Hermione's first thought was to go to the library.

"That's -" Harry and Hermione suddenly stopped because they saw a figure approaching.

"It's Karkaroff!" Harry said after the figure walked past them and disappeared.

Karkaroff is a thief, he noticed Mrs. Maxim's movements so quickly.It seems that he spent a lot of energy on keeping tabs on in his spare time.His skills rivaled those of Harry's Aunt Petunia, and as expected, he soon knew what his first project was.

At this time, Hermione also realized why Maple said that, but in this way, Hermione no longer cared about it before.In this way, everyone knows the content of the first project and is on the same starting line, except for Cedric, who is the only one who doesn't know.

"Harry, we have to tell Cedric about this!" Hermione said. She wanted absolute fairness so that her victory or defeat would be meaningful.

"That's how it should be." The two of them thought about it together. After knowing that Cedric was the only one who was kept in the dark, Harry also had the same plan.

"Well, you can tell Cedric. This will also eliminate some of Hufflepuff's prejudice against you." Hermione said, because she is a witch and her reputation is not as famous as Harry's. In addition, Mei Poole is such a strong boyfriend, so Hufflepuff also treats her

Equally dissatisfied, but not as overly targeted as Harry.

"Yeah." Harry didn't expect Hermione to consider this, and felt very comfortable in his heart.

They returned to the Gryffindor common room, where Maple was still waiting for them. No, it should be her.Harry went upstairs directly after saying good night to them. Harry was in a mess and was not in the mood to enjoy their kiss before going to bed.
