The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

After Michelle left, John also took out the telescope Bagman gave him.

John was no stranger to this stuff.

He, Harry and others bought it when they were watching the Quidditch World Cup.

This thing has a lot of magic built into it. It can not only zoom in and out of the screen you see, but also display some game information on the screen, and it can also record videos.

And when Bagman gave this thing to John, it was obviously not possible that he was afraid that John would be bored and intended to let him watch Quidditch game videos for entertainment.

John put the telescope in front of his eyes, and sure enough, the live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament outside was displayed in front of him.

The perspective displayed in the magic telescope was perfect, and John was almost overlooking the entire field and stands.

John estimated that Bagman replaced the telescope lens with a double-sided mirror, and then he brought the other double-sided mirror to the arena to create such a live broadcast effect.

In the picture, the huge circular stands were crowded with people.

Almost everyone was shouting excitedly.

In the center of the arena, a huge fire dragon with a black jade back protruding from its back was pacing.

It looked very aggressive and violent. It kept roaring and spitting out terrifying fire.

Michelle was slowly walking towards the fire dragon under everyone's gaze. As she walked, she was still waving hello to the audience.

That kind of strolling around with a smile on his face doesn't look like he's here to participate in a competition at all, but more like he's on a spring outing.

This is in sharp contrast to the four warriors before.

It also made many people in the arena laugh.

But their laughter didn't last long before disappearing.

Because the Norwegian Ridgeback in the center of the field has already launched an attack.

It flapped its wings and flew straight towards Michelle with a roar.

Michelle's movements were not slow either. She flicked her wand, and the stones under her feet seemed to come alive and began to lift her and move quickly to the side.

"boom--"

The Norwegian Ridgeback bit hard at the place where Michelle was standing, biting a stone there into pieces.

Michelle easily dodged the blow. With the support of the stone, she distanced herself from the Norwegian Ridgeback while raising her wand.

At the same time, the Norwegian Ridgeback, which spat out the gravel in its mouth, charged at Michelle again.

This dangerous scene caused a series of exclamations from the stands.

John, who was watching the live broadcast alone in the tent, sat up straight unconsciously.

The next step is to see if Michelle can hit the fire dragon's eyes with the [Eye Spell].

This is the most critical step.

With John's understanding of Michelle, this would be almost no difficulty for Michelle.

However, Michelle delayed attacking the Norwegian Ridgeback.

A look of confusion flashed across Michelle's face.

Immediately afterwards, Michelle actually stopped the high-speed moving rocks under her feet, put down her wand at the same time, and stood there, looking straight at the roaring Norwegian Ridgeback.

"Michelle! What are you doing!"

John roared subconsciously.

Many people in the stands also screamed.

Snape had even drawn his wand and was about to jump off the stand.

However, the next moment, when the Norwegian Ridgeback had opened its huge mouth and bit her, Michelle was heard shouting with some uncertainty:

"Noble?"

The Norwegian Ridgeback stopped moving.

Its teeth were less than two meters away from Michelle. As long as it arched forward slightly, it could easily bite Michelle to death.

But it didn't do that.

After standing there for a while, it closed its mouth and brought its huge dragon head in front of Michelle, its nose twitching as if distinguishing the smell.

"Ha-is that really you, Norbert?!"

Michelle shouted excitedly and immediately hugged the Norwegian Ridgeback's head.

Being hugged like this, Norbert, the Norwegian Ridgeback, finally recognized Michelle's identity.

Its body suddenly softened, and it lay on the ground. Its big head arched and arched in Michelle's arms, and it kept mumbling, as if it was telling its mother about sadness and sorrow. Same as wronged.

Michelle responded with "um um ah ah" in her mouth, as if she really understood.

There was silence in the stands.

Everyone was a little overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events.

After several seconds, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami swept the entire arena again.

"It's... what a surprise! Michelle Shafik subdued the ferocious Norwegian Ridgeback effortlessly!" Bagman shouted, "Although I don't know how she did it, But it's brilliant!

But is it time for her to get the dragon eggs now?Why are you still chatting with that dragon? "

Bagman's comments made the stands even louder.

John also breathed a sigh of relief.

He recognized it.

The Norwegian Ridgeback was probably Norbert who was hatched by them and Hagrid and later given to Charlie.

Noble has been very close to Michelle since he was a child, so it is understandable that he would have such a reaction.

John also recalled his previous conversation with Charlie at the Weasley's.

When Charlie was asked about Noble at that time, he clearly said, 'If you are lucky, you may all see her this year. '

Thinking about it now, Charlie should have known about this a long time ago.

John searched for it in the camera, and sure enough he saw Charlie among the team of dragon trainers on the edge of the field.

At the same time, under Bagman's repeated urging, Michelle, who was talking to Norbert, finally reluctantly picked up the golden egg.

Norbert followed her step by step, still looking aggrieved.

In the end, not even Charlie and the other dragon trainers were able to pull it open, so they had to ask Michelle to help take Norbert away from the arena.

After people bid farewell to Michelle with shouts and applause, a dispute broke out on the referee's bench.

Thanks to the good viewing angle Bagman chose for him, John could clearly see Karkaroff blushing and yelling at Crouch:

"Cheating! This is definitely cheating! That girl and the fire dragon have known each other for a long time! I even suspect that she raised the Norwegian Ridgeback!"

Maxim also echoed with a cold face:

"The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts should give us an explanation!"

Crouch's expression was indifferent, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of Karkaroff and Maxim, and he said disdainfully:

"Whatever you say. If you think this game is unfair, you can abandon the game at any time, as long as you can bear the price of violating the ancient contract of the Goblet of Fire."

Karkaroff and Maxim were furious.

They clenched their fists and were about to explode.

This is what Bagman said in a hurry:

"No! We are all companions, it really shouldn't be like this! Let's score quickly, don't keep everyone waiting!"

After speaking, he took the lead in raising his wand and sprayed a number nine composed of golden light into the air.

Crouch followed with nine points.

Dumbledore smiled and gave it ten points.

Maxim and Karkaroff looked at each other, both faces full of anger.

Finally, they seemed to have reached some consensus silently, and they all raised their wands.

Karkaroff - one point!

Maxim - four points!

"Oh! These two shameless old men! This is obviously partiality!"

Ron in the stands cursed directly.

There are not a few people who have the same view as him.

For a time, the entire stand was filled with curses against Karkarov and Maxim.

This made Maxim's expression become even more gloomy.

Karkaroff, on the other hand, looked indifferent and glared at Crouch provocatively.

Bagman was a little embarrassed.

In order to ease the atmosphere at the scene, he hurriedly said:

"Now, here's our next warrior, John Shafiq!"

The harsh whistle sounded again, John put down the magic telescope and stepped out of the tent.

He didn't care about scores or anything, as long as Michelle was safe.

The current situation seems to be good for John.

So he was in a pretty good mood.

With a smile on his face, John walked through a gap in the field fence and entered the arena.

Bagman succeeded.

John's appearance diverts the audience's attention.

Almost everyone was screaming and applauding hysterically, and the overwhelming cheers shattered the winter air like breaking glass.

John waved casually and said hello to everyone.

This led to an even more intense response from the audience in the stands.

On the other side, the staff rearranged the golden eggs.

The iron-belly dragon was also dragged into the arena by the dragon trainers.

Looking at the fire dragon, John frowned slightly.

His impression of the Iron Belly Dragon was pretty good.

It should be a relatively gentle, or lazy, fire dragon that is close to wizards.

But the iron belly displayed in front of John's eyes was different from before.

Its eyes have been completely dyed red, and it exudes a violent aura.

Not only that, it was still struggling to get rid of the shackles of the iron chain around its neck, and the huge rocks that were obstacles around it were easily broken by the waving of its limbs and tail.

No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with the words gentleness and being close to wizards.
