Harry Potter and Shafik

68 The Swedish Short-nosed Dragon

After Harry left, Hilbert slumped on the sofa and closed his eyes thinking about the game. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. He felt that his Animagus couldn't fly the dragon, so the only thing left was the Sword, Lingxu once taught him a set of Chinese swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is the use of swords in offensive and defensive combat. It is the basic movement that makes up swordsmanship, and expresses the soul of swordsmanship skills and skills.In terminology, swordsmanship is also called "sword point".Only by mastering the "sword point", can the swordsmanship have "laws" to follow and "reasons" to follow in sports.Lingxu's master is a master, he has a set of sword formations, with the four major swords as the heart, the power is astonishing, once famous far and wide, this formation cannot be broken without the four sages.This is the gatha handed down by Master Lingxu.I have practiced the sword technique passed down by Lingxu before, and it is astonishingly powerful once it is accomplished.It's called "Dragon Slaying Sword". This sword is a sword refined from dragon bones left by Lingxu when he fought and killed Jiaomu in the East China Sea. Hilbert was thinking about sitting up suddenly and he needed to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword immediately. The remaining moves, so that he can guarantee victory in the game.

"Hey, we're back!" Daphne took Astoria's hand and pushed open the door, bouncing in.

"Oh, you're back, how are you?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that Alena Lina is not in love with Colin, she just wants to learn more about the Muggle world and prepare for her Muggle Studies class in her third year. You are overthinking."

"I hope so. I still have something to talk to Professor Lingxu about. Let's talk first. I'll go back first."

The third floor of Hogwarts Castle.

"Lingxu, you must teach me the rest of the dragon-slaying sword. I must rely on it to defeat the first level. Please!"

"Okay~_~!"

In the next few days, Lingxu strictly demanded that Hilbert's posture for practicing swordsmanship be improvised.

"Put your head up, chest out, belly in, hips up. Hold your breath and focus on one point."

"When you wave your hand, it's a little bigger."

"Leg! Immediately lift the left leg up after the right leg!"

"I'm going to play tomorrow, I can't relax! Absolutely not!"

"The most advanced form of dragon-slaying swordsmanship——Heaven-shattering mad dragon slash!"

A ray of light flew out from Hilbert's sword.A huge rock was instantly blown up to nothing left!

"Phew, finally...it's done!" Taoist Lingxu said with a smile, looking at the big tree with its roots broken in the distance.

On November 1994, 11, the first project was carried out.The first project is to pick up the golden egg from the fire dragon. In order to test the courage of the contestants, it has to be done in front of other students and the jury.Warriors may not request or accept any assistance from their teachers in completing a competition project.The only weapon the warrior has in his first challenge is his wand.

It was a cold November afternoon, and the four warriors came to the arena, which was originally the Hogwarts Quidditch Stadium.

Behind Fleur stands Madame Maxime,

Behind Krum stands Karkaroff.

Behind Harry stood Professor McGonagall,

Taoist Lingxu stood behind Hilbert.

"Okay, don't be nervous," she said, "keep your mind calm... We have some wizards around, if the situation is not good, they will step forward to control the situation... The most important thing is to give full play to your own abilities, No one will think that you are inferior to others... Are you all right?" Professor McGonagall asked Hilbert and Harry in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's fine!"

Hilbert changed from the traditional wizard robe to tights, with the Dragon Slaying Sword on his back, and gauze wrapped around his hands. According to him, it was to make his hands stronger. In fact, under the gauze It was the scar left by practicing more than ten hours a day for two weeks.

Taoist Lingxu took out a spell from his pocket and stuck it on Hilbert's back, saying that it could save his life in case of danger.

Professor McGonagall led them around the edge of the Forbidden Forest and walked towards the place where the fire dragon was.When they approached the bushes where they could see the site clearly, the four of them found a tent erected there from a long distance, blocking the fire dragons, and the entrance of the tent faced them.

Fleur Delacour sat on a low wooden stool in a corner.She was not at all composed as usual, and looked very pale and ill.Viktor Krum looked more sullen than usual, which Harry supposed was his way of showing nervousness.Hilbert kept pacing back and forth.Harry gave him a faint smile as he entered, and Hilbert smiled back.Harry felt the muscles in his face twitch awkwardly, as if they had forgotten how to smile.

Standing among the pale warriors, Bagman looked like a huge cartoon figure.He's back in that old Hornets uniform.

"Well, now that you're all here—it's time to give you a briefing!" said Bagman cheerily. "When the audience is assembled, I'm going to pass this bag to each of you in turn,"— —He held up a purple silk bag and shook it at them—"From it you pick out a miniature model of the thing you're each going to face! They're different—well—kinds. I have another Something to tell you... ah, yes... your task is to pick up the golden eggs!"

In a blink of an eye, I heard the sound of hundreds of feet walking past the tent, and the owners of the feet were chatting and laughing excitedly... Hilbert felt that he was out of tune with those people, as if they belonged to another similar .Then - in what Harry felt as a blink of an eye - Bagman was undoing the purple silk sack.

"Ladies first," he said, handing the bag to Fleur Delacour.

She put a trembling hand into the cloth bag and pulled out a small, lifelike model of a dragon—a Welsh green dragon with a number tied around its neck: number two.When Harry and Hilbert saw that Fleur did not show the slightest surprise, but resigned to fate, he knew that his speculation was correct: Madame Maxime told Fleur what the challenge she was about to face was.Hagrid not only told them but also told Madam Maxime by the way.

Klum also confirmed the same.He pulled out the bright red Chinese fireball, number three tied around his neck.Without even blinking, he sat down and stared at the ground.Hilbert put his hand into his pocket, and what he took out was the silver-blue Swedish short-snouted dragon with the number one tied around its neck.Knowing what he had left, Harry reached into his silk pocket and pulled out the Hungarian Horntail, number four.As he looked down, the little dragon spread its wings, revealing its tiny fangs.

Welsh green dragons generally build their lairs on relatively high mountains, and their bodies can be well mixed with the dense weeds on the mountains.All animals that use protective colors tend not to be that dangerous because their first thought is to protect themselves.Welsh green dragons generally avoid crowded areas, and they will not touch large animals.This relatively docile dragon generally feeds on small herbivores, especially sheep and deer.So, Hibiscus should be the simplest.

Krum drew a Chinese Fireball. According to Lingxu, it should be called a Salamander. Their dragon doesn't look like a bear.Krum's dragon is second only to Harry and Hill's dragon.The most unlucky one was Harry, who had drawn the Hungarian Horntail with the strongest hand-to-hand ability.

Ha ha, he himself is not much better.In terms of flame power alone, the Swedish short-nosed dragon is the most powerful.Other dragons spit out yellow or red fire, and the maximum temperature will not exceed 4000 degrees, while the flame temperature of the short-nosed dragon can reach 6000 degrees.Enough to roast any stone.

Walking out of the tent slowly, Hilbert put on a serious expression on his face.Looking around, Draco and the others cheered vigorously, shouting cheering slogans, too far away to hear them.

In the auditorium on the left is Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and his parents, Mr. Brian Shafik and Mrs. Elena Shafik are sitting on the bottom.There is also the grandma who stays at home also came to the scene.What made Hilbert feel that today's game was particularly interesting was that Daphne's parents came here.This is my father-in-law and mother-in-law!Now I have to show my Zhuangzhuangbi well, so as to win the consent.

Hilbert did some warm-up exercises.Only a whistle was heard.At the other end of the field, stands the Swedish short-nosed dragon.It crouched low, guarding its nest of rock-colored eggs, its wings folded in half, and its vicious yellow eyes stared at Hilbert who broke into the field. Hilbert opened his eyes arm, standing there like a cross.Everyone is quiet, no one knows what he is doing?Suddenly there was a sharp eagle cry, and Hilbert turned into Hai Dongqing.In an instant, it flew into the sky and pierced the sky.

There were bursts of exclamations from the audience.No student has ever cast an Animagus to challenge a dragon.

The Brachysaurus also suddenly began to take off.Obviously, its huge body is no match for the petite Costin.Hilbert flew around the short-nosed dragon several times.The short-nosed dragon breathed fire and burned him.Hilbert can't show too much, lest he steal Harry Potter's reputation.So I slowed down and flew, but I was almost caught by the flames several times.

It's almost the same after watching this stupid dragon playing.Hilbert suddenly flew to the dragon's back and grabbed the iron chain.The fire dragon rolled and tossed back and forth.Several times it flew up and slammed into the rock.Daoist Lingxu clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and all the audience dared not look at it, especially Daphne and Aleena Lina were about to cry,

"It's so dangerous, it almost turned into a meatloaf." Hilbert crawled out from the front of the fire dragon's neck.His left hand was still tightly grasping the iron chain.

"He's all right! Look! He's all right!" Draco yelled.

Harry sat there listening, and everything was worse than he'd imagined.As Hilbert managed to get past the Swedish Brachysaurus, the crowd screamed... shouted... gasped like a unity of many heads.Krum was still staring at the ground.Fleur now followed in his footsteps, pacing round and round in the tent.Bagman's commentary made it all, much worse... "Oh, it's dangerous, it's dangerous."... "He's got a trick!"...

"It's a very clever idea—too bad it didn't work!" Harry listened to these explanations, and horrible images kept appearing in his mind.

Hilbert drew out the Dragon Slaying Sword.It stabbed at the short-snouted dragon's spine.Puncture towards the nerve of the short-nosed dragon.

"It seems that you don't need the highest form, you can use the sixth form to control it!" Hilbert clasped his hands together and said a mantra-"Respect the heavens and the earth, and unite your mind. Everything is returned to its origin, and everyone is at peace!" Then he put his hands together Holding the hilt of the sword, this move uses the sword as a guide to control the hearts of all things in the world.Make it calm.The Swedish short-nosed dragon stopped tossing, and stopped slowly. Hilbert pulled out his sword in an instant, and quickly ran to the place where the golden eggs were placed.Pick up the golden egg.Because he knew that as soon as the sword that controlled the dragon left, the magic power would become invalid.

It took Hilbert at least an hour to get the golden egg. In fact, it took less than 10 minutes to tease the dragon, but it was not bad. Hilbert felt that his back must be covered with sweat, "He It succeeded! Mr. Hilbert Shafik successfully got the golden egg!" Those present, especially the Slytherins, were so excited that they forgot about Slytherin's etiquette, and they were as crazy as the students of the Lion House.In the auditorium, Hilbert's mother cried happily! T_T
Secretary Fudge warmly congratulated Mr. Brian.It seems to say congratulations to his son for his success! "One down, there are three more!" Bagman shouted when the whistle blew again, "Miss Delacour, please come on!"

Fleur was shaking from head to toe.As she left the tent with her head held high and her wand clutched tightly, Harry felt closer to her than ever before.Now it was just him and Krum sitting face to face on opposite sides of the tent, avoiding each other's eyes.

The same procedure began again... "Oh, I'm not sure it's wise to do this!" They heard Bagman exclaiming gleefully, "Oh... just a little bit! Careful... my God, I Thought she had already succeeded!"

Ten minutes later, Harry heard the audience burst into cheers again... Fleur must have done it too.Then there was a moment of silence, waiting for the referee to score Fleur...the applause again...then, the whistle blew for the third time.

"It's Mr. Kroom now!" cried Bagman.Krum walked out with slumped shoulders, leaving Harry alone in the tent.After a while, probably less than 10 minutes later, Krum got the golden egg.Hilbert returned to the Slytherin student seat with the golden egg and hugged Daphne's waist, and Daphne raised her head and kissed it.The students next to him kept booing!
"Congratulations, Hilbert!"

"You have your share of honor too! Daphne."

"What about us?"

"The honor belongs to all Slytherins!"

"Yeah! Long live Merlin!"

"Congratulations, Hill!" Taoist Lingxu walked over.

"Disciple Hilbert thanks Master." Hilbert immediately knelt down on one knee to salute when he saw Lingxu.

"You don't have to. Get up. Get some rest."

"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders!"

Then it was Harry Potter's turn to play.

At the other end of the field, the Hungarian Horntail stood impressively.It crouched low, guarding its nest of eggs, its wings half-folded, its vicious yellow eyes fixed on Harry.It was a gigantic lizard-like reptile covered in scales.It violently twisted its spiked tail, leaving several meters of potholes on the hard ground.There was an uproar in the audience, whether these voices were friendly or malicious, Harry had no way of knowing, and he no longer cared.Now he was going to do what he had to do...to get out of the way, to concentrate completely, absolutely, on that thing, his only hope...

He raised his wand.

"Firebolts are flying!" he shouted.

His Firebolt skirted the edge of the Forbidden Forest and came racing toward him; it flew into the field and came to a halt in mid-air beside him, waiting for him to mount it.The noise from the crowd was louder... Bagman was yelling something... but Harry's ears weren't working at the moment... what mattered now was not listening...

He lifted his legs onto the broomstick, kicked off the ground, and flew into the air.At this moment, Hilbert's tense mind finally relaxed, and at the same time he was also sleepy. He rested his head on Daphne's lap and fell asleep smelling the girl's unique body fragrance with the fragrance of roses.

When he woke up, it happened that Harry Potter got the golden eggs, and he rushed to the ground with lightning speed, and rushed to the nest of eggs. The legs protected them—he released the Firebolt to free his hands—he seized the golden egg—

Then he soared into the air, away from the dragon, and hovered over the stands, with the heavy golden egg under his uninjured arm, and it was as if someone had just turned the volume up—Harry's first time. I could hear the noises coming from the audience, people were screaming and applauding, it was deafening, like the Irish supporters at the World Cup -

"Look!" Bagman shouted loudly, "Look! Our youngest warrior got the golden egg the fastest! This will close the gap between Mr. Potter and the other warriors! "

Hilbert left the auditorium with the golden egg and came to the tent, warmly congratulating Harry Potter on his success, when Cedric came in, Harry and Hilbert passed the golden egg over quickly.Tell him that the honor belongs not only to him but to Cedric as well.

"You've all done a good job!" said Ludo Bagman, jumping briskly into the tent as if he himself had just managed to cross a dragon. "Okay, I just have a few words to say. You'll have a long break before the second project starts next February 2th at 24:09am - but we're going to leave some questions for you Consider! You look down at those golden eggs you hold in your hands and you will see that they can be opened... see the seam there? You must unravel the clues provided in the eggs - that will tell you what the second item is , you can get ready! Is everything clear? No problem? Well, let's go!"

Hilbert now wants to go back to the prefect's bath in Slytherin and take a good hot bath. It would be nice if he and Daphne can take a bath together.
