Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 292 The elegance of the witch and the calmness of the immortal! (5000 words, all will be completed with additional updates)

Although Newt said he would see him in the afternoon, by the time it was afternoon, he had already gone to nowhere, leaving only a piece of parchment explaining the situation.

In Newt's words, there are so many magical animals being harmed in the UK, how can he just sit back and watch!

As a member of the Scamander family, he must fulfill his duty to protect magical animals to the end!

However, Old Man Newt didn't really let Harley go. He also left Harley a black box containing the wild Norwegian Ridgeback in the Room of Requirement.

As for himself, he took his most precious box with him to save those magical animals.

Although the Norwegian Ridgeback in the box is wild, Newt is not worried about the safety of Harley and other little wizards.

After all, after spending so long with Newt, this child is no longer so hostile to human wizards.

Even under Newt's care and education, it can accept human wizards feeding themselves large chunks of beef.

All I can say is... Mr. Newt was born to protect magical animals!

And even if this Norwegian Ridgeback has any bad thoughts, Old Man Newt is not afraid of it at all.

This is Hogwarts!

It is no exaggeration to say that Hogwarts is currently Professor Dumbledore's personal territory.

No matter what the trouble is, Professor Dumbledore will know it immediately.

Besides, Professor Dumbledore is very good at dealing with fire dragons, otherwise he wouldn't have so many raw materials to study the twelve uses of fire dragon blood.

Of course, what Mr. Newt doesn't know is that Professor Dumbledore has zero control over the Room of Requirement.

But it doesn't matter, although Professor Dumbledore can't understand everything that happens in the Room of Requirement, there is Harry here.

As long as Harley is here, the fire dragon can't make any big waves.

Of course, the above are all assumptions. The Norwegian Ridgeback did not disappoint Newt in the end. After eating, he stayed in the box obediently and did not cause any trouble at all.

When he saw Harley preparing to take it out of the box, the Norwegian Ridgeback felt the terrifying aura of the tiny creature in front of him and followed behind obediently, not daring to roar randomly.

Harley made a small modification to the Room of Requirement and prepared a huge training venue with the Norwegian Ridgeback.

Outside the door of the training ground in the Room of Requirement, Hermione and Fleur had been waiting for a long time with their wands in hand.

But Fleur's face was pale, her legs were shaking, and Hermione's hand holding the wand was shaking crazily.

When the two of them thought of the terrifying creature behind the door, they felt a sense of fear.

When she saw Harry setting up the practice area and walking out of it, Fleur stammered and asked:

"Harley... isn't it a little too early for us to use the fire dragon for training now?"

"It's not early at all," Harley shook her head. "There are still two weeks until the competition, so time is already quite tight."

"Of course, I personally would rather go to the Forbidden Forest to practice with some magical animals before the fire dragon comes."

"But now that there are so many fire dragons and staff in the Forbidden Forest, it's really not suitable to go there."

Indeed, the Acromantulas should be grateful to the staff of the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary for choosing to house the dragons in the Forbidden Forest.

Otherwise, they should have fallen under Fleur and Hermione's wands as practical supplies three days ago.

Seeing that the two people in front of him seemed a little scared, Harry waved his hand:

"Come on, let's start training...relax, take a deep breath, exhale, don't feel nervous."

"Let me give you a demonstration first, using the method we discussed before, a simple demonstration."

A minute later, the three of them were standing on the training ground in the Room of Requirement.

The black Norwegian Ridgeback was looking at the three of them menacingly, without any restraints on its body.

This child is particularly spiritual. He has only been treated by Newt for about half a year, and he can already understand the wizard's words.

Newt also communicated with it for a long time before leaving, asking it to cooperate with the three of them for a small training.

Of course, at the current level of the Norwegian Ridgeback, it probably still cannot understand the word "training" for humans.

But Newt is indeed a master in the field of magical animals. After a flashy dance, the Norwegian Ridgeback seemed to barely understand what Newt meant.

However, its understanding may be a bit crooked. It seems that it means... Harley's three-person attack, while it is the defensive side.

Of course, the actual situation is more likely to be combined with Harley's terrifying aura, which makes the Norwegian Ridgeback unable to attack.

So the Norwegian Ridgeback looks menacing, but its posture is defensive.

Seeing this scene, Harley couldn't help but sigh, put her left hand into her pocket, and took out a box.

It seemed like she had to think of something.

"Watch it, I'll only demonstrate it once."

Harley stood calmly in front of the fire dragon, her eyes glowing green.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses had been placed on Harley's face at some point.

The same green color flashed across the eyes of the Norwegian Ridgeback for an instant, and the invisible instigation ability covered its whole body and was directly integrated into the depths of its mind.

"Hoohoho!"

The Norwegian Ridgeback instantly stood up and spread its wings to both sides.

At the same time, its mouth opened with all its strength. While roaring and roaring, hot magic was brewing in the nose and mouth, and a thick flame was sprayed out.

With the help of magic, the temperature of the flames was very high, and a faint halo appeared in the surrounding air.

But Harley's expression didn't change at all.

"Let me show you the most difficult way first, without using any magic potion, just to defend against the flames of the fire dragon."

Harley's voice was still very calm, but it resounded throughout the training ground.

The wand she was handling was raised slightly, and an invisible wall blocked Harry's face.

It's an iron armor curse.

Since it was said that the simplest and most difficult magic method would be used, Harley would not use her best extraordinary ability, but would rely purely on her control of magic to resist the magic-laden dragon flames.

If it were an ordinary wizard who released this iron armor spell, the flames of the Norwegian Ridgeback would definitely be able to destroy the defense.

But Harley's Iron Armor Curse seemed to form a solid wall, and he could even use his wand to control it to face the fire dragon's flames and slowly push back.

And Harley still had time to continue explaining to the two people watching:

"This is the most basic defense method against the fire dragon flames we discussed, the Iron Armor Curse."

"However, this method requires a high level of mastery of the Iron Armor Curse, so let's try the second method, the Clear Water Spring Curse combined with the Quick Freezing Curse."

"After all, fire is afraid of water, and high temperature and cold are relative. This is common sense."

As he spoke, Harley's wand rotated slightly, and the armored city wall in front of her disappeared.

And a powerful stream of water spurted out from the tip of the wand, facing the flames of the Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, forcing the dragon's flames back.

While casting the spell, Harley softly recited another spell: "Extremefreezing!"

Invisible cold air spread from the tip of the wand and flowed up the water, freezing the water into ice sculptures in an instant!

The cold air has not stopped yet. It directly matches the water flow and goes up against the flames. It dissipates the flames spit out by the Norwegian Ridgeback and directly penetrates the Norwegian Ridgeback's nasal cavity and mouth!

The Norwegian Ridgeback shook its head in pain a few times, as if it didn't quite understand what was happening and why it couldn't breathe out fire for no apparent reason.

"Of course, this is only the most basic method. I personally recommend mastering the advanced method of using the Clear Water Spring Curse and releasing water at a fixed point on the fire dragon's head."

As soon as he finished speaking, the frequency of Harry's wand rotation changed again.

The Norwegian Ridgeback was still confused when it was suddenly splashed in the face by a waterfall-like flow of water.

"That's it for the demonstration of the first option. Let's end this...battle that can barely be called a battle."

The waterfall that appeared inexplicably in the sky instantly became larger and turned into chains of ice, instantly binding the Norwegian Ridgeback.

The poor Norwegian Ridgeback let out an unwilling roar, and was immediately crushed to the ground, unable to move.

Harley's eyes flashed green again, and the green light slowly faded from the Norwegian Ridgeback's eyes.

It gradually regained consciousness, and under Harley's deliberate control, it remembered what it had just done.

So it stared at Harry pitifully, with a look of begging for mercy on its face, and almost stuck out its tongue.

For a moment, both Fleur and Hermione subconsciously opened their mouths and their eyes were dull.

Elegant and calm, he subdued a fire dragon in the most ordinary way.

so hot!

…………

Harley spent a full two hours implementing almost all the plans the three of them had listed in the library.

There are only a few spells that can cause serious damage to fire dragons, such as the Eye Spell, but Harley did not demonstrate them.

Fortunately, this fire dragon has been bewitched by Harley's instigation ability combined with the "psychological suggestion" ability of "manipulating glasses" and the legal ability of two gloves.

Otherwise, this poor Norwegian Ridgeback would have had its self-confidence shattered long ago after being beaten so many times by the little bug it looked down upon.

But even so, after encountering so many failures, there was still confusion in the eyes of the Norwegian Ridgeback.

who I am? where am I? What am I doing?

Why should I provoke this terrifying devil? No, how did I provoke her in the first place?

Mom, I want to go back to Norway!

It wasn't until Harley stopped and fed it several bottles of special potions that the Norwegian Ridgeback's eyes became much calmer.

During this process, Hermione and Fleur looked at Harry with even more admiration.

Fortunately for Hermione, at least she already knew that Harry's strength was extraordinary.

I just didn't know that this heroic best friend who often slept with me and was full of strange charm actually had such a handsome side.

But Furong was really obsessed with it.

In the past, she had rejected numerous boys at Beauxbatons.

After all, the quality of Beauxbatons students in recent years is really not good. If they really face danger, except for being fast enough to perform the French military salute, they are useless.

Now look, if they could be one-fifth... no, one-tenth as handsome as Harley, then I would agree to it!

Damn it! Why is Harley such a beautiful girl?

After Harry demonstrated once, he left the training ground and looked at Hermione and Fleur:

"I've already demonstrated it, which one of you will go first?"

Fleur and Hermione looked at each other, and finally Hermione raised her hand: "I'll give it a try."

…………

Under Harry's guidance, Hermione and Fleur practiced all afternoon.

The three of them didn't stop exercising until almost eight o'clock in the evening.

After calming down the dragon, feeding it, and repacking it into the small box provided by Newt, Fleur and Hermione were almost exhausted.

During this training, neither Hermione nor Fleur succeeded in subduing the Norwegian Ridgeback using their chosen plan.

"Don't be discouraged." Harley comforted the two of them. "Many adult wizards cannot deal with a fire dragon alone."

"I remember that it took seven dragon trainers to incapacitate a Norwegian Ridgeback."

"Your performance tonight is no better than that of most adult wizards."

Fleur rolled her eyes without any concern for the image, while wiping the sweat on her cheeks with a handkerchief she had just conjured.

At this time, her fair skin was flushed, and her silver hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look very charming.

The previous battle also consumed too much of Fleur's energy, causing her to hold her chest and gasp hard.

"Are you kidding? I don't even have one-tenth of your abilities."

"You subdued the Norwegian Ridgeback so easily before, and you can also deal with it in different ways."

"Who said that? You succeeded once today." Ha Liyan smiled evilly,

"You successfully hypnotized the Norwegian Ridgeback."

Fleur suddenly became anxious, her face flushed, and she lightly punched Harry: "You still mentioned it!"

During the last training session in the afternoon, she indeed used her bloodline talent mixed with other spells to successfully hypnotize the Norwegian Ridgeback.

However, the hypnosis was very reluctant, and it could even be said that it was because the Norwegian Ridgeback was a little tired, so it allowed itself a chance.

Moreover, this Norwegian Ridgeback had just been hypnotized, and in less than a minute, it was snoring and spitting out a stream of flames.

Fleur was unprepared for this. As a result, even though Harley took action in time, the long dress Fleur was wearing was still directly ignited.

And right after, the Norwegian Ridgeback woke up directly.

It seemed to be aware of the embarrassing situation of being hypnotized, and it was so angry that it sprayed flames everywhere.

So overall, this is a textbook failure.

Now, Fleur seemed to be neatly dressed, but the long skirt was no longer the previous one, but was conjured up by Harry on the spot.

Now that Harry was bringing up old things again, Fleur certainly didn't want her to do it.

"Yes, we are still far away from you." Hermione showed her support with a serious look on her face. Obviously she was also very dissatisfied with her performance today.

Harley smiled evilly: "If you want to compete with me, it's pointless."

"I'm a genius!"

"Genius? He's obviously a monster! Monster, take a stick from me!"

The three of them came downstairs talking, laughing and joking.

It was already past meal time in the Great Hall, and Harry and Hermione took Fleur directly to the Hogwarts kitchen for a tour.

The house elves were also very enthusiastic and brought a variety of delicacies and many French desserts for Harry and others to have a full meal.

As for the issue of gaining weight... magic works! Pretty Witch will never gain weight!

…………

In the next two weeks, Fleur spent the mornings studying hard in the library, and the afternoons going to the Room of Requirement for hard training.

Hermione seemed to be inspired by her, and began to spend less time in the library, and began to focus on training her actual combat abilities.

Even Harry and Harry had to stay in the Room of Requirement to protect the two of them.

Students in third years and above were allowed to go to Hogsmeade the weekend before the tournament, which was a week away.

And Fleur, who had never been to Hogsmeade before, was not moved at all. No matter how much Gabrielle begged, Fleur ruthlessly refused the little girl. At most, she was only allowed to follow Ms. Maxim to the Three Broomsticks Bar. .

Finally came the day before the competition. The three of them put the Norwegian Ridgeback back into the box at noon and ended today's training.

This is them wearing sportswear, sitting on the ground of the training ground and drinking water.

After that embarrassing incident on the first day, both Fleur and Hermione realized the inconvenience caused by the long skirts and robes that witches usually wear when fighting.

The two learned from Harley and customized a set of fire-resistant tight-fitting clothing for combat.

In the past few days, Fleur and Hermione borrowed Harry's Firebolt matching Quidditch sportswear and took turns wearing this outfit to train with the fire dragon.

At this time, they had just finished today's training. They were covered with sweat and sat on the ground, drinking water and wiping their foreheads with the towel hanging around their necks.

"I feel like tomorrow's game is stable." Fleur used magic to clean the towel and hung it back around her neck. She said with confidence on her face,

"I can now fight a fire dragon without any pressure, and I don't need to use hypnosis to suppress the situation!"

"Of course, don't look at who your teacher is?" Harley chuckled.

"Hermione, how do you feel about your harvest these past few days?"

"Of course I gained a lot." Hermione also raised her long neck proudly like a swan.

"Don't forget, there is more than one genius in Hogwarts. I am Hermione Granger!"

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

(ps. When it comes to the long skirt on Furong, the author really wants to complain. The original text in the fourth part states that when facing the fire dragon in the first project, Furong used hypnosis, and the skirt was vomited out after the fire dragon fell asleep. The flame is lit. So the author is very curious. He knows what he is facing, but he actually wears a long skirt that is inconvenient to move on to fight the fire dragon. Is he really not afraid of death?)
