Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 303 Project 1 (3)

Sainz didn't pay special attention to Harry's situation, but there were few things in Hogwarts that he didn't know.

In the evening, Jerry told him that Harry went to Hagrid. Hagrid did not let Harry show up. Instead, he combed his hair as if it had been licked by a dog, wore a flashy suit, and knocked on the huge carriage door of Beauxbatons School.

Sainz did not continue to pay attention to how Harry would prepare for the game. Now that his godfather Blake has recognized him and Blake is not hiding, he believes that he will have plenty of opportunities to ask him for advice.

To put it another way, even without Sirius, Moody would also find a way for him.

On the morning of November 24th, the school was filled with tension and excitement.

Classes were suspended at noon so that they could have time to go to the paddock at the edge of the Forbidden Forest to watch the game. Although the students didn't know what they were going to watch, the tall, makeshift stands that looked like Quidditch games were enough for them to guess.

Sainz has been very busy these days. In addition to attending classes, he also has to work with employees from the Ministry of Magic to build stands and defensive measures.

When he was building the enclosure, he saw those dragons. They were indeed very powerful, but compared to the giant dragon in his mind, they were just average.

The largest one is no more than 15 meters tall when standing up, and its length including the tail is no more than 18 meters. The other three smaller ones are about 12 meters tall and 15 meters long.

The largest one should be the Hungarian Horntail Dragon that Harry had to deal with in the original trajectory. It is black in color. The other three are the smallest ordinary Welsh Green Dragon, the silver-blue Swedish Short-nosed Dragon and the fiery red Chinese Fireball Dragon.

In the current world view, China only has this kind of fireball dragon, and no other fire dragons.

The appearance of the Fireball Dragon cannot be said to be good. There is a circle of strange-looking thin and pointed horns around its face. Unlike other types of fire dragons, the Fireball Dragon's breath is not a jet of flame, but mushroom-shaped fire clouds.

In the current world, the totems that most resemble the totems of the previous life are not these fire dragons, but the long-horned water snakes.

Horned water snakes once lived in large numbers in the Far East, but were later hunted in large numbers because they were valuable ingredients for potions.

There are two hard pointed horns on the head of the long-horned water snake. Except for the lack of a tail, it looks very much like the incompletely transformed dragon in the mythology of the previous life.

And when the horned water snake reaches a certain age, a gem will grow on its head. This gem has very powerful magic. It can allow the horned water snake to leave the water and give itself and the wizard who touches the gem the ability to fly and become invisible.

They look more and more alike, and can rise or fall.

Rumor has it that Isolt, the founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States, could understand the language of horned serpents, so the serpents gave her the hair shaved from their horns as the core of the first wand produced in America.

There is a house at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry named after the horned serpent.

Sainz is not very interested in fire dragons, but he is a little interested in horned water snakes. It's a pity that this dangerous creature, like the fire dragon, does not exist in the school.

In the afternoon, except for the Warriors who entered a tent set up below to wait for the game, everyone else went to the stands to watch the game.

The seats for the referee team were set at the front of the platform. Four of the five seats were already occupied, the three headmasters of magic schools and Percy Weasley, who replaced old Barty Crouch. The other empty seat was reserved for Ludo Bagman, who was asking the four warriors to choose the dragon they were going to fight.

Not long after, Bagman returned to the referee's seat and spoke into the megaphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ludo Bagman, and I am delighted to be the commentator for this Triwizard Tournament.

I think everyone must be very curious about what we are going to do by building such a large venue, and what the first project the warriors will deal with will be. Now let me reveal the answer to you.

The first task will test the bravery and wisdom of the warriors. What they will face is - a fire dragon!"

Wow!

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked. Not only the students, but also some professors who had not learned about the competition in advance were all shocked. Letting a student fight a fire dragon alone was tantamount to asking them to die!

Fortunately, Bagman's subsequent explanation made people relax a little. It turned out that the warriors were not required to defeat the fire dragon, but to pass by the fire dragon and get the golden eggs guarded by them.

"The warriors will appear in the order they are drawn. Please welcome our first warrior, Cedric the Courage from Hogwarts!

The dragon he will be fighting is the beautiful and agile Swiss short-nosed dragon! "

The dragon trainers from the dragon farm began to set up the venue. Seven or eight wizards used iron chains to lead the fire dragon to the center of the venue and locked its chains underground.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything crazy and let it go completely.

When they really saw the fire dragon in the paddock, the students made even louder roars. At first they thought Bagman was joking, but they didn't expect him to be serious. People cheered so loudly that they almost broke their throats.

At the roll call, Cedric emerged from the tent without any dragon protection.

Saiens was also wondering, couldn't the school add some protective facilities for its warriors? They were so confident about their safety. These warriors themselves were so stubborn that they didn't even think of wearing a layer of protective gear. There were special protective clothing for playing Quidditch!

As soon as Cedric came out, the fire dragon stared at him, and he also stared at the fire dragon's eyes stiffly.

The two sides stared at each other for a while, and the fire dragon became impatient. It tore the chains and stood up. Cedric finally saw his target, the golden egg guarded by the fire dragon.

The fire dragon's chain was not infinitely long, so he had to stand at a safe distance to ensure his life, but he would not pass if he did not get the golden egg.

Seeing the right moment, Cedric cast a Transfiguration spell on a stone and turned it into a Newfoundland hound. The dragon didn't take the hound seriously at all and didn't even move, still guarding its golden eggs tightly.

Bagman explained in real time, "Nice Transfiguration, very clever tactics, if the dragon is distracted by the hound, he can take the golden egg while it is not paying attention.

...Oh, it was dangerous, so close... He was a little impatient... That was really mysterious just now..."

It turned out that the fire dragon was annoyed by the harassment of the fake hound, so it stretched out its claws to hit it. If it was a real hound, it could have solved the problem in one go.

Of course, if it were a real hound, it would not have the courage to harass the fire dragon.

This hound was controlled by a wizard. It nimbly dodged the fire dragon's claws and ran to the side after a crazy provocation. The fire dragon was really irritated by it and left the dragon egg to chase it.

While the dragon was chasing the hound, Cedric rushed to the golden egg. However, the dragon was not blinded by anger and did not chase too far. It suddenly turned around and almost killed Cedric by surprise.

At this time, Cedric had already touched the golden egg. The dragon saw it from a distance and angrily sprayed fire. Fortunately, the distance was far enough and he was only burned by the end of the flame. Just like that, half of his face was immediately covered with blisters.

Fortunately, he finally got the golden egg, which meant he completed his mission. Deafening cheers rang out from the podium.

The fire dragon wanted to continue attacking, but immediately seven or eight dragon trainers who were guarding nearby came forward to calm it down.
