Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 554 Fire Dragons

The two of them walked around the edge of the Forbidden Forest for a long distance.
Castles, lakes, even carriages, shrines, black ships...these magical dwellings of other magic schools were left far behind by them, blurred, and became so dark that they couldn't see clearly.

Finally...

A flash of fire suddenly rushed out from the dark forest, across the sky, followed by a deafening and sharp roar...

Someone was calling other people's names loudly; many people were running back and forth, and the sound of footsteps resounded through the forest; there were also all kinds of strange screams and whistlings after the spell was cast... These sounds came to McGuffin's ears together, reminding them of the danger ahead.

At last Donald Eastfork's boasting ceased,
After the guy glanced at McGuffin, he restrained his superficial frivolity and fell silent.

Then, wearing the cloak of invisibility, walked forward with McGuffin.

They carefully avoided the branches and branches that protruded from the tree, and after passing through the bushes, they suddenly saw a bright light...

An open space the size of three or four football fields is surrounded by the Forbidden Forest,

Flames and giant shadows danced and swayed across the clearing—

But first of all, there was a scorching smell mixed with sulfur and a pungent foul smell.

Unable to guard against, McGuffin choked out tears and snot.

He hurriedly stopped, stood where he was, and opened his eyes after dealing with everything——

fire dragon,

—appeared in front of the two of them.

Several fire dragons were tamed and imprisoned by the dragon trainers... in this huge open space.

They are...big, small, majestic, or strangely shaped, or have long horns protruding from the skull and soaring into the sky, or have mouths full of fangs, with bloody mouths...

A fire dragon covered with red scales was lying on the ground greedily facing a bonfire tens of meters high... puffing and snorting, the bonfire was dancing and swaying, being swallowed by the fire dragon and then exhaled again and again, and so on and on;
A yellow-brown fire dragon was huge in size and had a very violent temper. Several dragon trainers who were waiting in formation waved their wands and summoned a dozen chains that shone with lightning, and was tightly bound. It was suppressed and crawled on the ground, roaring angrily, and the flames from its mouth continued to burn out a scorched passage;

A smaller, whitish-purple fire dragon perched lazily on some tall trees, spewing out clouds of five-colored miasma, which turned the surrounding leaves and grass yellow and purple, and even melted puddles of disgusting black-purple slime on the ground...Many dragon-training wizards avoided there with pale faces;

And... a silver-blue dragon with a pair of long, pointed horns devouring the goats prepared by the dragon trainers;

There is a green fire dragon with smooth scales, slickly avoiding the pursuit of wizards, flying around flexibly in the air and low altitude, as if it is a game, making a weird roar, as if mocking;
There was even a black dragon, and a pale one with a high dorsal fin... These two dragons were far more dinosaur-like than the others, and they were more free...

Two dragon tamers each rode them, flying around the fire dragon camp, and patrolling back and forth.

So many fire dragons are imprisoned here... Naturally, there are many wizards needed, and the scene is very chaotic.

There seemed to be about sixty or seventy wizards busy here.

In addition to the roar of the fire dragon ringing in McGuffin's ears, it is the yelling of these wizards.

At least seven or eight of them deal with it and suppress one fire dragon, so that these fire dragons of completely different types will not kill each other.

field,
Groups of flames spit out from the fire dragon's mouth from time to time, burning recklessly...in the sky, on the ground, in the bushes...

The flames were raging, and the fire dragon scales were overflowing with various colors of light. The original appearance of the various scales was reflected beautifully by the fire... bright yellow, emerald green, deep purple, bright red... shining like gems of various colors.

And the wizard kept waving his wand, the red light of the [Sleeping Curse], the flickering of the electric chain...

Roaring, shouting, sizzling burning, crackling lightning, goats neighing...

All kinds of sounds are noisy but harmoniously converging together, just like a magical symphony... chaotic and blurred symphony back and forth on the venue, never stopping.

McGuffin was completely stunned.

Although he didn't see Donald Eastfork's expression, McGuffin estimated that this guy should feel the same way.

Knowing fire dragons, seeing fire dragons, and being in close contact with so many fire dragons... gives people a completely different sense of fright and shock.

Any one of these monsters could easily tear the two of them to pieces.

Not to mention so many being present at the same time.

Especially the closest to them... the largest fire dragon, which occupies almost one-third of the entire venue.

Every time it took a heavy breath, it made McGuffin feel as if he was being sucked into this guy's mouth.

The scales of this dragon are shiny gray, and the body is round and seems to move slowly.

The monster's eyes glowed red in the dim light, and its long claws were almost like excavator buckets, leaving deep marks on the ground when it was lightly scratched.

The MacGuffins were so close to the fire dragon, they could even feel the hot and moist breath from the monster... scraping back and forth.

They could see the bright red vertical pupils staring arrogantly and tyrannically at all the fire dragons on the field, the wizard... Finally, it opened its huge mouth full of long sword-like fangs, and bit a strong black cow in half with one bite.

After the terrible chewing and swallowing, a dragon trainer stood in front of the dragon tremblingly,
He waved his wand tremblingly, and a silver-blue light shot out from the tip of the wand, turning into a fluorescent collar and wrapping around the fire dragon's neck.

The fire dragon shook its head in dissatisfaction, and after snorting a few breaths, it stared at the dragon trainer in front of it.

The dragon trainer's legs were shaking like noodles in a pot,
After a while, it snorted disdainfully, and finally lowered its head, allowing the dragon tamer to climb up its wide, gray back covered with curved and spiky spines.

Then it let out a roar that shook the sky, flapped its wings, and carried the dragon trainer, hovering over the forbidden forest.

"Ukrainian iron belly! So big..."

Donald East Fork made a faint sound, even trembling in his voice.

He was neither... muttering indistinctly, drawing in a drawl like usual, nor was he speaking loudly and affirmatively like he had just faced McGuffin.

Instead, the voice became extremely soft, inaudible...but very clear. It seemed that this guy was too frightened to change his voice.

"Damn guys, is this trying to kill us warriors? Who can deal with that thing..."

"That should be a mature man,... no, it should be the head dragon among the dragons... otherwise it's not that big."

Under tension, Donald started rambling again, talking to himself.

McGuffin immediately gave Donald an elbow, telling this guy to pay attention and keep quiet.

He has already seen some responsive fire dragons seem to have sensed something, for example, the petite fire dragon with green skin perched in the bushes turned its head around and pointed in their direction...

In Iron Belly of Ukraine, after the largest fire dragon flew into the sky, all the dragon trainers and wizards present breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions became relaxed.Some people even clenched their fists and cheered happily, as if they were celebrating something great.

Some people walked over panting heavily... It seemed that they were going to take a rest in this newly vacated area.

McGuffin recognized one of the more burly lead wizards as Charlie.

Charlie Weasley, Ron's older brother... a Romanian dragon trainer.

McGuffin felt a little nervous, although he asked Hagrid to bring a message to Charlie, telling him that if possible tonight, he should cooperate with him to make things easier,... to make things difficult for Donald Eastfork.

But now Donald, the double-faced 'master of acting', is really beyond their original expectations, and has completely destroyed McGuffin's original plan.

'Now we can only take one step at a time. ' thought McGuffin.

Charlie walked with a thin, tall... wizard almost like a telegraph pole, and they came to chat near the two MacGuffins.

And Donald East Fork obviously had no plans to leave here. This guy was still wrapped in an invisibility cloak, and pulled McGuffin a few steps closer to Charlie, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

"How is it? Reeves! At what stage is the Hungarian Horntail in charge of you, can it be tamed...or at least suppressed, and communicate to some extent." Charlie Weasley said, and then he waved his wand and summoned two large glasses, which were filled with cold water.

The two each took the glass, raised their heads and drank it with a happy sound.

'--ha!comfortable! '

(Most of the other wizards who came to rest did the same thing—calling for clean water, or turning out a towel to wipe the sweat on their necks and foreheads...)
After drinking the ice water, the tall wizard named Reeves replied, "It's hard! Charlie, you should know that we give these fire dragons a sleeping potion...so many fire dragons of different types from different places are brought together and shipped here...making them very unhappy, not happy at all—"

"Especially the Hungarian Horntail is an extremely vengeful, stingy, and hot-tempered fire dragon. After half a year of work... the trust I have built with this female dragon has been completely destroyed."

"I don't understand why the Top Ten Tournament has to bring fire dragons to Hogwarts. Could it be that those sphinxes and scorpions in Egypt...can't satisfy the curiosity of those brainless Ministry of Magic officials... who are so happy?"

"Even a five-year-old wizard knows... fire dragons are the most uncontrollable creatures..."

"How can they be arranged in the competition program of the 'Top Ten Tournament'..."

Reeves poured himself a large mouthful of ice water in great annoyance, and then took out a small metal box from his pocket, took out a cigarette from there, and put it in his mouth.

When he was about to light the fire with his wand,
Charlie pulled the cigarette out of Reeves' mouth at once, threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

Charlie growled at Reeves with some resentment, "Are you crazy? Don't you remember the last time Kesley was almost bitten to death by the Swiss short-nosed dragon after drinking a little wine?"

"Remember, we'd better not have any human smell on us... so as not to irritate these dragons."

"Okay, okay. I see." Reeves put away the cigarette case again, and murmured, "When will this end? I haven't rested for half a month, and now my body is full of dragon dung that meets your standards...Why can't we live in Hogwarts Castle..."

"Soon, soon..." Charlie said coyly, "Now the Ukrainian iron belly dragon...the most ferocious male dragon has also been tamed. It is estimated that many of our colleagues can help you..."

"When all the fire dragons are dealt with, it should be the beginning of the first top ten contest... After the first round is over, we won't be needed," Charlie said.

This news not only aroused Donald's desire, but Reeves, the dragon trainer, was also very curious about it.

So, the dragon trainer looked at the location of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, and asked, "I remember that the first event seemed to be held in Hogwarts Castle, right?"

"Is there a way for Dumbledore to get so many dragons in? Isn't he afraid that these guys will tear down that castle?"

When Donald heard the news, he trembled with excitement. In order to hear it clearly, he pulled McGuffin closer to Charlie and the two of them desperately.

He carefully collected this information.

"Albus Dumbledore must have his considerations... As the headmaster of Hogwarts, I'm sure he will keep the castle safe, but what I care about is...During these games, you can't gather dragons in a stadium full of stands, they will go crazy... No matter how good our dragon trainers are, we can't appease these dragons...

"It's going to be a slaughterhouse..."

Charlie was talking, when suddenly a petite green dragon turned its head and flew towards them from the opposite side.

Extremely fast, like green lightning.

"what happened?"

Charlie and Reeves took out their wands in a little panic and pointed at the green dragon, but the guy turned a little bit halfway...not towards them.

McGuffin's heart tightened, he understood that the two of them had been exposed.

——No, Harry’s invisibility cloak is one of the three holy artifacts. It should be able to permanently block any exploration and pursuit. To a certain extent, no one or any magic can find it. It’s just a fire dragon...

'what happened? '

At this time, Donald Donfork, who had been wanting to hear more secrets about the 'Top Ten Tournament', immediately noticed something was wrong.

The guy glanced at McGuffin strangely, then took out his wand, and Xiao Xiaoyi backed away first, wanting to leave here without causing any movement.

But the green dragon flew around the Invisibility Cloak quickly, barking their way with piercing screams.

With the strange roar of the green dragon,
The fire dragons present almost shook and twisted their necks, their vertical pupils widened, and they stared at this place.

At this moment, almost everyone, including Charlie, also noticed something was wrong.

Charlie immediately drew out his wand, and shouted vigilantly at McGuffin, "Who? Who's there!"
