if i am not me

No one knew that the previous series of actions were just his temptations, and only Harry would understand the meaning of those actions that failed frequently in the eyes of others.And now that the probing is over, Draco's mouth is drawn into a charming arc, and he must look at the pile of dragon eggs guarded by the Hungarian Horntail. There, his mission target is emitting a dazzling golden color. shine.

Drake heard Harry tell how they accomplished this task in the past, Harry's flight, Krum's eye sickness spell, Fleur's sleeping spell and Cedric's transformation spell, each of which has its uses, But these were the ones Draco wanted to use from time to time.Why do you have to take such a big risk to face the dragon face to face?Obviously there is an easier way, their task is just to get the golden egg.

With a short body, Drake was glad that this site was not a flat grassland, but a stretch of mountainous terrain, which made it easy for him to find some dead spots as hiding places.Thinking about the information he found in the book, he gradually moved his figure to the back of a raised rock, or a small mound.Of course, the so-called short refers to the size of the giant dragon, and that stone is enough to completely cover Drake who is deliberately hiding.

"Serpensortia (Oolong out)!" Shaking the wand in his hand again, it was still the previous spell that was considered useless, and a snake that was bigger than before landed only a few meters away from the Hungarian Horntail. The dazed snake head was still hissing and spitting out the letter.

But Drake didn't intend to end like this this time. With his flying wand, snakes appeared around the dragon one after another, big ones, small ones, green, red, black...

"Beautiful! This move is so beautiful! Although I don't know what he's going to do..." The voice of the commentary still echoed in the field, making Draco's ears buzz.

'Fortunately, it was silenced from the noise beforehand. 'Draco pouted, his blue eyes scanning the surrounding movement.

The Hungarian Horntail was protecting the eggs behind it at this time, and its yellowed eyeballs were staring at the boulder where Drake was hiding without blinking.At first, it would pay some attention to those snakes because of their approach, but after those snakes fled around it in a panic, it mobilized all its attention to Draco, beware of the cunning creature it thought was extremely cunning. of humans.

Drake poked his head out, looked at the dragon's big eyes staring at the boulder where he was hiding, and smiled with satisfaction.

In a corner that the Hungarian Horntail didn't pay attention to, a small snake that was almost completely negligible and very similar to the color of the field had already quietly crawled along the fence to the back of the dragon, slowly approaching its target—— The nest full of dragon eggs.With the confrontation between Drake and the Hungarian Horntail, the little snake finally managed to get into the gap between the dragon's eggs. Seeing this, Drake's eyes flashed with joy. He has successfully completed the first step of the plan!

Compared to the little snake's tiny body, the overly large dragon egg completely concealed its whereabouts, and the little snake approached the dragon egg quietly as it wished.

For the first time, Draco thanked himself for his good eyesight. Seeing the little snake hiding in the gap between the dragon's eggs, his wand poked out again.However, this time he did not point at the target they thought they had expected. On the contrary, Draco's wand pointed straight at the dragon's back.Quickly chanting the obscure syllables, Drake cast the spell at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant, a dazzling light shot towards the direction of the golden egg.

"Merlin—what does he want to do?" Following Drake's actions, exclamations echoed in the arena, because the giant dragon flicked its long spiked tail vigorously after seeing Drake's actions, Swipe in the direction where Drake is.The original intention of the Hungarian Horntail was to stop the spell and give some warning to the bug that dared to challenge its majesty. However, at this moment, due to the swing of its tail, the field where the sand and rocks were flying became smoky due to a sudden wind. .

Putting away his wand and hiding behind the stone, Draco cracked his lips into a smile. He really didn't expect that the wind curse ① usually used for pranks would be so useful on this occasion.However, this complacency only lasted for only a second. After a moment of concentration, he looked around, took this opportunity to quickly leave the boulder he had just hidden in, and rolled over to another one. Not far from here, but closer to the golden egg in the depression.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dragon's sight was still blocked by the smoke and dust, Draco squinted his eyes and looked at the target of the spell just now. He could still vaguely see the golden brilliance emanating from the golden egg, and it seemed to be getting more dazzling.Smiling in satisfaction, Draco pointed at his target and quickly waved his wand. "...Reducio (speedy reduction)!"

The spell precisely hit the direction of the golden egg, and at this moment, the Hungarian Horntail, which was agitated by the smoke and dust, let out a ferocious dragon cry, and its black fleshy wings quickly flapped.After a burst of flying sand and rocks, the wind brought by the flapping of the dragon's wings quickly swept away the smoke and dust around them, and people's vision became clear again.

With the recovery of visibility, everyone's eyes and the dragon focused on the location of the golden egg—whether the action of just arriving at Draco got him the golden egg is the most curious thing at present.However, what they saw was that the golden egg was still there quietly, not even moving its position.It's just that the dazzling golden light in the smog has returned to the softness it was before, as if the dazzling light just now was their illusion.

In a sigh of disappointment, the undamaged dragon egg gradually eased the irritable mood of the Hungarian Horntail, but the black smoke from his nose from time to time let everyone know that as long as Draco dares to do it again, it will Will spew out blazing flames without mercy.

"Accio (Flying Curse)!" With a swift flick of his wand, a small object suddenly flew out from behind the golden egg in a direction that the dragon hadn't noticed. Draco watched quietly, only gently As soon as he raised his left hand, the thing the size of a quail egg fell firmly into his hand.

Doubt - This is the common feeling of many people on the field at this time, including Bagman, everyone's face is full of doubts. "What did he summon just now, a stone?"

And just when everyone was expecting his next move, Drake bowed his body unexpectedly, slowly began to move backwards, and finally left the depression where the dragon was hiding, facing the opposite direction where the dragon was. direction to go.

"What's going on... Is he going to give up?" Like everyone else, his eyes widened in disbelief, Bagman yelled out everyone's thoughts in an almost piercing tone, and the stands were already buzzing It was a mess, only a few people who had seen everything stared at Drake with inscrutable expressions, expecting Drake to reveal the final answer for them.

Ron looked at Draco, his brow furrowed in worry, just like his clenched fist now.At this moment, a Ravenclaw boy next to him hissed and said nasty words.Ron was immediately angry when he heard the words. If Harry hadn't reacted quickly and firmly grabbed his arm, he believed that his fist had already been delivered to that person's face by this time.

"Ron," the corners of Harry's lips curled up charmingly, Harry's green eyes coldly glanced at the boy who was frightened because of Ron, pulled Ron back to his seat, and said lightly, "Look carefully , it's about to end."

"What?" Hearing Harry's words, Ron and several people around him were extremely surprised, including the boy who made a sarcastic statement just now, and couldn't help but ask.After all, the situation now looked nothing like Harry said to them, over - after that series of useless efforts?

But when Ron saw the extremely confident smile on Harry's face, he let go of his tightly clenched fists, snorted coldly at the boy, and focused all his attention on walking slowly towards the exit on the original Drake.

Hermione was startled when she heard the words, she tilted her head slightly, and then she showed a clear smile, her face that was originally full of worries and doubts instantly relaxed.This change of hers made Neville, who was sitting next to him, sweat profusely. He looked at her for a while and then at Draco. He didn't know whether he should ask Hermione what was going on first, or We should first look at Drake's next move.

Drake ignored all kinds of chaos and noise around him. He leisurely played with the objects in his hands, and slowly came to the exit of the venue.Behind him, although the ferocious Hungarian Horntail was as puzzled by the series of inexplicable actions of this human being as everyone else, but because it did not cause any substantial harm to it, it took it for granted that the warning it gave had already passed. It has the effect it should play.So the dragon restrained its angry wings, rolled back its long tail, surrounded the golden egg and other dragon eggs as before, and never looked at Draco again.

At this time, although Draco looked a little embarrassed because his clothes were stained with dust, it did not damage his self-confidence at the moment.Looking up at the faces with different expressions, he looked straight in the direction of Harry, his eyes met again, and Draco smiled, and his hand was once again under the gaze of everyone in the audience. lifted up.

Raising his left hand and his right hand, Draco tapped his wand on the gadget in his hand, and began to mutter words.

With the corner of his mouth closed, a burst of white light flowed out from the wand, and then everyone was surprised to find that the thing in Drake's hands was slowly growing, and at the same time began to emit dazzling golden light—it was a golden egg!

"Excellent!" Bagman finally yelled loudly after being silent for nearly three seconds. His excited voice instantly infected the audience, and the cheers and applause broke the silence in an instant. The Hogwarts students practically jumped out of their seats, "Golden Egg - very good at getting the Golden Egg, Merlin! We've all been blinded by him! Perfect Transfiguration and Flying Charm... ah, Of course, there is also the Shrinking Curse!"

"It's unbelievable that our youngest runner took the shortest time - and, unscathed!"

Listening to Bagman's evaluation, Drake finally nodded in satisfaction knowing the shock his performance had brought to everyone.At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind him, it was his Lord Dean, Snape.

"Very good, Malfoy!" Snape, who was usually sullen, had an unbelievably gentle expression at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were no longer sneering as usual. "Excellent performance!"

"Very smart too!" Abruptly, a voice full of magnetism came into Draco's ears following Snape's falling voice. It was from the man who just came in from the exit—Sirius, Black .
