Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 288 I just took Furong for a walk, a walk in the middle of the night (completed with monthly tickets)

Although Ollivander persuaded Harry very seriously, Harley did not ask to change the wand after she nodded and took over the memory of Ollivander's grandfather.

This wand is now very easy to use, and Harry is not ready to replace it just yet.

She just made a mental note to do a magic mirror divination when she went back to see what secrets were hidden behind the core of this wand.

After Ollivander left, Fleur, who was waiting not far away, walked up.

"What does Ollivander want from you?" Fleur asked curiously, while looking at Ollivander's retreating back.

"Nothing, my wand was made by a member of the Ollivander family, so he reminded me of some information about wand care."

Harley said a reason casually without blinking.

Fleur nodded and did not ask further questions.

After all, this kind of commercial knowledge involving the unique secrets of different magic families is not suitable for arbitrary inquiry.

Seeing that the end of get out of class bell had been ringing for some time, the two of them simply stopped going back to the classroom and went straight to the auditorium.

Hermione had reserved a seat for the two of them at the Gryffindor table. At this time, she was still looking through the thick book related to the Triwizard Tournament.

Gabrielle was toying with the bacon on her plate with a fork, while Crookshanks was lying obediently on the little girl's lap, his eyes moving up and down as the fork moved up and down.

After seeing Harry and Fleur returning, Hermione picked up the schoolbag from the seat next to her and asked casually:

"Why are the professors looking for you? Just to take photos for publicity?"

"I also tested the wand." Fleur said lightly, her voice suddenly became urgent,

"Gabriel! Cats can't eat chocolate! Did you forget again?"

Gabrielle on the side seemed to have remembered something, and quickly put the chocolate pudding in her hand back on the plate.

Crookshanks screamed in dissatisfaction, pushed his head hard on Gabrielle's cheek twice, and stretched out his paws.

The little girl was forced to push the chocolate pudding a little further, and rubbed the head of the big cat in her arms:

"Crookshanks, be good, I can't give you these."

"It's okay, Crookshanks has the blood of Catnives."

Hermione waved, put Crookshanks back on her lap, and wrapped a piece of chocolate cake in a napkin.

"Cat cats can eat chocolate. I checked several books about this, and also asked the owner of the pet shop to help check Crookshanks."

Fleur nodded, but still glared at her naughty sister.

After chatting for a while about the class situation at Hogwarts, the three of them naturally turned to the topic of the Six-wizard tournament.

Hermione kept flipping through the book vigorously, making guesses about the possible content of the Six Wizards Tournament:

"The first project is to test the wizard's courage and ability to adapt to changes...courage and ability to adapt to changes..."

Hermione raised her head sharply, "Fantastic Beasts!"

"I have a feeling the first item is likely to be a dangerous magical creature!"

"Hmm?" Fleur was chewing a small piece of mutton chop with her mouth closed, and could only make a nasal sound to express her question.

"You guys come here...forget it, I'll read it to you two."

Hermione had just raised the book in her hand halfway when she suddenly remembered that the two of them were still eating, so she put the book back on her lap and read it carefully.

"Listen to this: In the Triwizard Tournament in 1792, the warriors had to work together to catch an adult cockatrice, and each person was graded based on their performance."

"In the Triwizard Tournament in 1697, each warrior had to deal with a blind basilisk alone, and was rated according to the time and method it took to defeat the basilisk."

"There is also the fact that in the Triwizard Tournament in 1642, the warriors had to persist for at least seconds in a specified venue when it was known that the competition was a few half-eaten fire dragons. minute."

"These fire dragons are all young male fire dragons, and they are not completely full, so they are more dangerous and highly aggressive."

"The scoring standard for warriors is the time they persist. If you persist for twenty minutes, you can get a passing score."

"The longer the time, the more difficult the magic used, and the higher the score."

Hermione closed the book suddenly, raised her head, and said seriously,

"There are many more examples like this. For example, I remember seeing many cases of dealing with banshees, manticores, and manticores."

"In short, in almost most Triwizard Tournaments, the items that test courage are connected to extremely dangerous magical animals. Only a few times involve entering dangerous natural environments to survive."

"In those few times, warriors almost died. This time the Triwizard Tournament is restarted and three additional schools are introduced, which should pursue stability."

"So I'm almost 90% sure that as long as the competition events of the Six-wizard Tournament don't undergo major changes, then you should have to face magical animals in your first event."

"This time there are more restrictions and we face the unknown. So the requirements of the competition should be much lower."

"Take the fire dragon as an example. If the target you are asked to deal with this time is a half-full fire dragon, you may be asked to hold on for... ten to fifteen minutes?"

Listening to Hermione's words, Fleur's face became paler and paler. After swallowing the mouthful of mutton, she never touched the knife and fork again.

She was very nervous now. After all, Fleur still knew how much magic knowledge she had.

She can handle a lower-risk competition like the Potions Championship with ease.

But in this extremely dangerous Six-wizard Tournament... To be fair, she couldn't think of a way to survive the fire dragon's attack for ten minutes.

"Is it a level 5X dangerous magical animal? Fortunately, it doesn't feel difficult."

Harry said casually, suddenly noticing Fleur's pale face,

"Fu Rong, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell these past few days?"

"No." Fleur smiled bitterly, "I just... really can't think of a way to deal with dangerous magical animals."

"I feel like I can't do anything about even the most numerous fire dragons in existence, let alone magical animals such as manticores and basilisks, which are even rarer and have less knowledge about them."

"Don't worry, I will help you." Harley comforted in a low voice.

"I happen to know that there are many cuties in the Forbidden Forest who are very suitable for exercise."

"I can take you to practice your hands and practice some actual combat...Hermione, will you go?"

"Of course." Hermione rolled her eyes.

"A certain person promised to teach me practical skills, but he only taught me a little bit of theory and stopped teaching."

Harley lowered her head unconsciously, looking slightly embarrassed, remembering the promise she had made.

She subconsciously clasped her hands together, bent slightly and apologized:

"My fault, there are too many courses this semester and last semester...this time, I promise this time!"

Hermione snorted with a slightly angry nasal voice and did not continue to say anything. Instead, she took out a roll of parchment:

"By the way, Harry, Hagrid asked me to give it to you."

"He hopes that we can go to his place in the evening. He remembers that you know the Disillusionment Charm."

Hallie looked at the parchment, and Hallie said on the parchment that she would take Hallie to see some good things tonight.

For some reason, Harley shivered inexplicably.

She sincerely hoped that Hagrid would not breed something new.

And don’t forget that there are still so many Acromantulas and Fire Crabs in the Forbidden Forest now.

Harley wouldn't be surprised if Hagrid actually used these two creatures to create a new magical animal.

"Interesting little cutie?" Furong thought carefully,

"This professor should be the one responsible for taking care of the Talisman Horse, right?"

"I remember when I went to visit the Talisman horses a few days ago, I felt like they had almost gained weight in just ten days."

"It seems that this professor is very caring and likes magical animals, otherwise he would not treat the rune horse so tenderly."

"I don't know what kind of cute little animals he has. The ball escapers and civet cats raised in our school are really cute."

A smirk suddenly appeared on Harry's lips: "In that case, I know the Disguise Charm anyway. Do you want to watch it together tonight?"

"Of course," Fleur nodded, with anticipation in her eyes.

"I hope it's a unicorn cub. This magical creature is the cutest! And I haven't seen it a few times!"

Hermione couldn't help but turn her head and thought about all the sad things in her life to prevent herself from laughing.

Fleur probably didn't take the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts and never saw Hagrid's original Explosive-Ended Skrewt.

I hope she can still say this at night.

…………

At night, when Harry knocked gently on the door of the Beauxbatons carriage, Fleur immediately slipped out quietly.

Apparently, she had been waiting outside the carriage door for a long time.

But a huge head poked out from behind Fleur...it was Ms. Maxim!

"Harry, it's so late, where are you and Fleur going?"

Ms. Maxim put her hands on her hips and stared at Harry.

"Ahem, cough, cough...Ms. Maxim, good evening."

An awkward smile appeared on Harley's face,

"I'm taking Fleur to... visit the Forbidden Forest. Really, we're just going for a walk."

"Oh? The little wizards at Hogwarts are so leisurely and elegant. Do you want to go for a walk in the Forbidden Forest at night?"

The smile on Ms. Maxim’s face grew brighter,

"Or...are you going to see the specific content of the first competition event?"

Fleur turned her back to Madam Maxime and smiled helplessly at Harry.

Harry raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly noticed that Ms. Maxim was not wearing pajamas now, nor the black silk robe she usually wore.

She changed into a dark purple robe that Harry had never seen before tonight.

Think about Hagrid's performance during this period, and Hagrid's past and present occupations at Hogwarts...

Harley vaguely felt that she had guessed something.

"Forget it, it's not important." Seeing that Harley didn't reply for a short time, Ms. Maxim waved her hand.

"Anyway, I'm probably going to have a look at the first competition event soon."

"Your Professor Hagrid kindly invited me, but I'm too embarrassed to refuse."

"You're here to learn about the competition, right?"

Harley groaned to herself, remembering Hagrid's impressive and bizarre outfit from two weeks ago.

It seems that Hagrid is probably really in love, and in order to find a reason to go on a date, he took the initiative to invite Ms. Maxim to admire the magical animals used in the first competition event.

He may not have intentionally leaked the content of the competition to Beauxbatons, but he thought that the high-risk magical animals... were very cute, and he must let Ms. Maxime see them.

…………

In front of Hagrid's hut, Hermione was breaking off bacon and throwing it to Fang.

There were bursts of movement in the pumpkin patch not far away. Apparently, the snails also smelled the aroma of smoked bacon and wanted to come and taste it.

But Hagrid had already used simple magic in the pumpkin patch, and there was no way a brainless creature like the Explosive-Tailed Skrewt could escape.

And Hermione obviously didn't want to deal with these disgusting things.

After seeing Harry and Fleur rushing over, Hermione frowned slightly:

"Why so slow, Harry? This is not your style. It's almost time to make the appointment with Hagrid."

"I was discovered by Ms. Maxim." Fleur spread her hands.

"After I put Gabrielle to sleep, I met Ms. Maxim as soon as I went out."

"Apparently, your Professor Hagrid not only dated Harry, but also dated our dear headmaster."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then looked at the door of the cabin in disbelief, and finally nodded vigorously:

"Sounds reasonable. This is something Hagrid can do."

She threw all the remaining bacon to Yaya, walked forward and knocked on the door.

With a "squeak" sound, Hagrid appeared.

He was obviously dressed up carefully. His beard and hair were more delicate than last time, and he obviously used hairspray.

The rough brown suit he was wearing was also replaced by a new dark black smooth suit, with a flower stuck in the buttonhole of the suit, an iris, the national flower of France.

What's more important is that the strong smell of Hagrid disappeared, replaced by a faint smell of Hermès Terra Men's Eau de Parfum and GUERLAIN Guerlain.

He didn't know where he got these two classic perfumes. Anyway, Harry rarely saw wizards using these perfumes.

But obviously, Hagrid completely learned the lesson from the last time, accepted the advice given to him by Harry and Hermione in the last Care of Magical Creatures class, and gave himself a new look.

"What do you think of my appearance?" Hagrid raised his head proudly, "Isn't it very eye-catching? Very handsome?"

"Very good," Harry looked Hagrid up and down.

"It would be better if you could remove the broken teeth of the comb from your hair as well."

Hagrid's expression changed slightly and he immediately stretched out his hand to fumble.

Harley sighed and snapped her fingers.

Two broken teeth of the comb flew out and fell to the ground.

After finally confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, Hagrid looked at Harley belatedly:

"By the way, Harley. I don't think I've congratulated you on becoming a warrior yet... Wait, is that girl from Beauxbatons behind you?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Hagrid is like this... hopeless!

…………

After a brief explanation, Hagrid took the three of them and prepared to head to the Forbidden Forest.

But first he turned a corner, went to Beauxbatons' carriage, and knocked three times on the door with two crossed golden wands printed on it.

Ms. Maxim's figure appeared. She was still dressed in the same outfit as before, but she had a silk shawl wrapped around her extremely broad shoulders.

After seeing Hagrid, Ms. Maxim looked up and down, then nodded slightly.

Although for Ms. Maxim, who was born in France, Hagrid's dress is still not very photogenic.

But now this perfume that British men often wear is much better than before!

"Good evening, Hagrid." Ms. Maxim chuckled, winking slightly.

Hagrid was stunned, looking at Ms. Maxim's flickering eyelashes, and said dryly:

"good evening."

Obviously, Hagrid didn't have much experience and didn't know what to say, so he simply raised his arm.

The two linked arms and walked side by side around the edge of the makeshift enclosure.

After briefly taking a look at the current situation of Ms. Maxim's beloved rune horse, the two of them walked directly into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, the black lake and the castle disappeared into the distance. Harry vaguely recognized that this was the route leading to the lake in the Forbidden Forest where magical animals drank.

And there are seven powerful auras there, mixed with heat, like a mixture of red priests, warriors and the sun.

No, considering that the power level of those creatures is only equivalent to ordinary sequence five, it should be said that their power properties are more similar to a mixture of extraordinary characteristics such as priests of light, reapers, and guardians.

After taking a few steps forward and bypassing a bush, Hagrid and Ms. Maxim stopped.

"Here we are." Hagrid waved his hand, "Look, I didn't lie to you! What cute little guys!"

However, the expression on Ms. Maxim's face was a bit strange, and the way she looked at Hagrid didn't look right.

But Harry, who was still invisible, said that he could understand, because Hermione and Fleur also had the same expression at this time.

In the open space next to the lake in front of him, a large group of wizards were surrounding him.

In the middle of them is the fire dragon!

A total of seven fire dragons!

……

……

(Thanks to the "Nine-tailed Yanhu" boss for the reward!)

(ps. Professor Dumbledore is equivalent to Sequence 4, the four deans and magic masters of Moody's level are equivalent to the top Sequence 5, Auror elites like Kingsley and most magic masters in various fields are equivalent Compared to ordinary Sequence Five, ordinary Aurors probably barely reach Sequence Five.)

(Ordinary residents of the magic world have a strength of Sequence 6 to Sequence 7. Underage wizards are about Sequence 8 to Sequence 9, which corresponds to the possibility of being knocked down by ordinary people. There should be no problem with this setting, right? The author has calculated After several times, I feel that I can basically get it right, and it’s not too outrageous.)
