The Admiral of Hogwarts

Just as Hugo and the others rushed down the stands to meet Veneto, they saw a large group of dragon trainers quickly passing through the tunnels beneath the stands and heading towards the center of the arena.

After all, Veneto's attacks just now could be considered serious injuries for the dragon, so now that the competition is over, these dragon trainers need to rescue the unfortunate Hungarian Horntail as soon as possible.

When Hugo and the Weasley siblings entered the tent, they found that many people were already there: Madam Pomfrey was busily checking the contestants' bodies, while the professors and the headmaster were each talking to their students.

The most seriously injured was Fleur Delacour. Both of her legs had obvious burns. If it weren't for the powerful potions of the magical world, she would likely have scars on her legs.

Krum's injuries were slightly better than Fleur's. He only had a few bruises and abrasions caused by the rocks thrown up by the dragon's struggles. At this time, he was stoically letting Madam Pomfrey apply medicine to his bare chest.

Although Harry and Veneto were the youngest two on the field, their condition was obviously much better. Harry's clothes were just a bit wrinkled, while Veneto looked almost no different from before the match.

"Veneto, I must say, you were a bit too harsh just now," Professor Flitwick said in his high-pitched voice. "At least, given your level of strength, you could have solved the match with less violence."

"You're right, Professor Flitwick," Veneto said somewhat helplessly. "Now that I think about it, the dragon should have been preparing to escape when it spread its wings, but I was too nervous at the time."

"I thought the dragon was spreading its wings to fight back, so I hit it a few more times in a hurry. I didn't expect the dragon's body to be so much more fragile than I imagined."

"Alright! But you'd better pay attention next time," Professor Flitwick said, shaking his head helplessly. After all, Veneto grew up in the Muggle world, so it's completely understandable that he doesn't know much about dragons.

Just then, the group of dragon trainers carried the injured dragon away from the front of the tent using magic, arguing loudly among themselves.

"Fractured 7th, 8th, and 9th cervical vertebrae, ruptured carotid artery, ruptured trachea, insufficient blood supply to the brain! We need to quickly reconstruct these organs and inject the dragon with blood-replenishing potions, otherwise the dragon will suffer brain death!"

After hearing this, both Fleur and Krum looked at Veneto with a look of fear. They had all grown up in the wizarding world, so they naturally knew how terrifying it was to be able to kill a dragon in hand-to-hand combat.

"Alright, the judges are about to score," Professor McGonagall said. A slight difference from the original competition process is that everyone is now scoring together after the competition is over.

This point was proposed by Qi Ye. She told Headmaster Dumbledore that if a score was given after each game, it would be obviously disadvantageous to the contestants who appeared later.

Because the order of the first game was determined by drawing lots, and no one knew who would go first, the headmasters of the three schools agreed with Qi Ye's point of view in this situation.

The scoring order was based on the order of appearance, so Fleur, Krum, and Harry respectively obtained scores of 37, 35, and 40.

In fact, these people's scores could have been higher, but unfortunately, Karkaroff was deliberately suppressing the scores of students from other schools, so everyone's scores were not high.

Veneto's score was revealed last, and she received the same score as Fleur: 37. This was mainly because she had injured the dragon a little too severely.

According to the conversation Hugo heard from the dragon trainers, the Hungarian Horntail would need at least half a year to recover after returning. On the one hand, the dragon's injuries were indeed serious, and on the other hand, the dragon's magical defense was too strong.

This powerful defense is indeed conducive to the dragon resisting various magical attacks, but the tragic aspect is that when injured or sick, the magical treatment methods that can be used also become extremely limited.

"You all did a great job!" Ludo Bagman said, jumping into the tent cheerfully after finishing the scoring, looking as if he himself had successfully crossed a fire-breathing dragon.

After hearing Ludo Bagman's words, everyone looked up at him. Only then did Hugo notice that one side of Fleur's face was covered with a thick layer of orange ointment.

Although she had narrowly avoided the dragon's direct fire breath just now, the scorching dragon breath still burned the skin exposed outside her clothes.

"Okay, I only have a few words to say. The second task will begin at 9:30 a.m. on February 24th next year. Before that, you can rest for a long time — —" Bagman said, after seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him.

"However, we need to leave some questions for you to consider! If you look down at the golden eggs you are holding, you will find that they can be opened… See the seam there? You must unravel the clues provided in the egg — — that will tell you what the second task is, and you can prepare for it! Is everything clear? No questions? Okay, you can go!"

"Thank you for your reminders," Harry said sincerely to Hugo and the others after everyone had left the tent and found that there was no one around. "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do in today's competition."

"We actually did very little," Hugo said with a smile, shaking his head. "You know, we just gave you some reminders. Even without our reminders, I believe you would have been able to complete the competition."

"But if you don't prepare in advance, I think these dragons are not something that can be easily dealt with," Ron said, following Harry's side.

"Moreover, judging from this competition, I can basically confirm that the person who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire probably didn't just want to play a prank. He's likely planning to kill Harry."

"Think about it, there are three tasks in the entire competition. The first task is already fighting a dragon, so the other two tasks are likely to be even more dangerous."

The group said goodbye at the entrance of the castle. Harry and Ron hurried towards the owlery, obviously hoping to write to Sirius Black as soon as possible to tell him about their experience.

Hugo and the other three went straight to Ravenclaw Tower. After all, now that the competition is over, everyone should get together and relax a little.

Things were just as they had imagined. When Veneto walked into the Ravenclaw common room, bursts of cheers erupted inside, and the tables were piled high with all kinds of snacks.

According to Kner, these snacks were made by the house-elves in the school after the prefect found Professor Flitwick, the head of the house.

In terms of making snacks, the house-elves' level is not much worse than that of Honeydukes Sweetshop, but the house-elves in the school generally don't make sweets except for important banquets, unless they get permission from the professor like today.

When Veneto, the protagonist, entered the room, the celebration immediately began.
