The days before the first project were calm for the time being. Harry was anxious about the unknown first project for a while, but Mary didn't seem to care, what to do, which made Harry think that maybe the first project was actually very simple. idea.

"I have to remind you, Harry." Mary sighed and lifted her head from the English-French dictionary, "I will represent Beauxbatons in the competition, don't imagine that I can help you in the first event, if If you don’t want to die too ugly, don’t mistakenly compare your strength with mine.”

"But I don't even know what the first project is," Harry muttered.

"So you need to make up for it in all aspects!" Mary said, "I can't give you any useful advice, but I can conclude that the first project is definitely an extremely thrilling project that can attract everyone's attention, so Don't focus on anything theoretical, master more practical spells."

"Even if you say that..." Harry smiled wryly.The curse of practicality is gone.

On the Saturday before the first project, Hagrid found Harry.

"Come and find me at my place at midnight tonight." He rubbed his hands mysteriously, hesitating for a while, "If LeMay wants to come, you can also invite her to come with you."

"Oh, are you going to miss the question?" Mary said lazily after listening to Harry's report.

Not to mention Mary, even Harry knew what Hagrid asked him to do there. The relationship between Mary and Hagrid had never been good, so why should he find Harry and Mary together?

"So, are you going?" he asked.

"No." Mary refused decisively, "It's totally unnecessary."

Harry knew that Mary had always been conceited, but he didn't expect her to be so conceited that she didn't even bother to look at the exam questions right in front of her eyes.

But Mary really has such capital, Harry sighed, and went to Hagrid's appointment on time.

"Mary!" Harry rushed to find Mary the next day, "You must listen to me, even if you don't think it is necessary, you must know! I saw the content of the first project yesterday, and you would never expect it! We—"

"Must we pass the fire dragon?" Mary interrupted him lightly.

"You know?" Harry looked at Mary in disbelief for a while, and suddenly realized, "Madame Maxime told you!"

"Bingo, dear." Mary smiled slightly, "I said I didn't have to go, didn't I?"

"..." Well, thanks to worrying about being an idiot all night, Harry sat down sullenly.

"But I'm still very glad to see you tell me this at the first time." Mary said, looking at Hessman's direction complicatedly, her voice lowered, "It's better than knowing something but hiding it in the name of trusting me." I am strong."

"Sorry, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing." Mary raised a sweet smirk and changed the subject, "So, have you figured out how to deal with that dragon?"

"Uh, deal with it? We just walk past it, don't we?"

"It's too unchallenging. Not all dragons are aggressive towards people. If you don't mess with them, they are more likely to ignore you. To be more exciting, the game will definitely require you to do something to irritate them. .”

Harry's face was pale and pale.

"It is indeed more difficult to deal with than imagined." Uncharacteristically, Mary did not comfort him, and continued, "You have to think of something quickly, Harry."

"Oh, can't you tell Harry what to do, Mary?" Hermione asked in horror, her face not much better than Harry's.

Mary looked at Harry: "If you really..."

"No, I don't need it!" But Harry interrupted Mary very firmly, "I'm sure I can figure it out myself."

Mary looked at him in surprise, and after a while, she said in a joking tone: "If you come up with a good solution, don't rush to tell me. I'd be happy to be surprised on the day of the competition."

"Oh, Harry, why are you being so aggressive?" said Hermione worriedly in the Gryffindor common room. "It's only been two days and we have no clue. I know you don't want to rely on Mary , but this time is different, this time is too dangerous..."

She was still chattering worryingly, which made Harry feel like he was just being brave for a while, but thinking of Mary's expectant eyes, he suddenly felt that if he could break through with his own strength this time, even death would be worth it.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Harry did figure out a way to pass the fire dragon with the tips and help of some people. Although he was not completely sure, he had to bite the bullet.

"Then let me introduce the situation." Ludo Bagman was still very lively and cheerful, holding a cloth bag, "This contains the things you will face, there are six in total, but each has Two, so those who draw the same thing will form a group, and your task is to pick up the golden egg."

"The referees will score points based on your respective performance, but if you cooperate tacitly, there will be extra points...Well, that's about it. Now, let's start, ladies first." He handed the bag to Mary.

"Swedish short-nosed dragon?" Mary looked at the silver-blue little dragon model, "It's quite simple."

"..." Cedric and Fleur stared at her.

"Next lady." Ludo Bagman handed Fleur the pocket.

Trembling, Fleur reached into her pocket and took out a model Welsh green dragon.

Then Harry and Krum drew the Chinese fireball, Cedric drew the same Welsh green dragon as Fleur, and the remaining Swedish short-nosed dragon naturally went to Hirschman.

"Enviable luck." Hirschman gave Harry a provocative smile, not knowing whether he was showing off or laughing at him.

"Then, can Mr. Einzbern and Ms. Flamel be the first to play?" Ludo Bagman asked, "You have five minutes to discuss the strategy."

"No problem." Mary nodded, looked at Hessman who had already gone out first, and trotted to Harry, "Harry."

"What?" Harry was still staring at Hirschman.

"Krum is a great wizard." She paused, "Of course you are too, so relax and come on!"

So she didn't believe I could take on a dragon alone!Harry thought angrily, but he replied angrily, "You too, be careful."

"You still have time to worry about me." Mary smiled mischievously, "Then, I'm on the stage."

Harry held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds outside the tent.

Of course Mary would be all right, he told himself, but he still clutched the hem of his robe nervously, as if it would be his next turn.

There was a noise outside the tent, which meant that Mary and Hessman had entered the field, and Ludo Bagman began to explain loudly: "Hessman Einzbe of Durmstrang is now entering the field. Mr. Lun and Ms. Marie LeMay of Beauxbatons! Yes, a very eye-catching pair, and it is said that Mr. Einzbern and Ms. LeMay are boyfriend and girlfriend, so they must cooperate very well..."

Why is he mentioning this?This is a competition, not a gossip show!Harry thought angrily.

"Oh! Oh! It's wonderful!... My God, Miss Flamel's trick is so beautiful!... A completely unexpected division of labor! But very tacit understanding... Oh, my God, I didn't expect a girl to be able to Such a powerful spell! I bet even an adult wizard couldn't have done it better...Mr. Einzbern came close...yes, they did it! It took less than 5 minutes! It's unbelievable!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief before remembering that his game wasn't over yet, and he gave Krum an awkward look, who frowned and nodded slightly in understanding, though he didn't know what he understood.

The next group to enter the arena is Fleur and Cedric, they are also famous handsome men and beautiful women in this competition-yes, everyone except myself looks like a warrior, even if their faces are not as good as Cedric and Hessman Handsome Krum is in good shape at least, Harry thought.

However, they obviously didn't have as much understanding as the pair of Mary and Hessman, and the time they spent was no less than a person dealing with a dragon alone.Bagman's explanation also bears this out: "Ah, what a mess they made together...they rushed to the golden egg at the same time, omg...they had to do it all over again...they seem to have found a trick... oh , yes, they succeeded!"

"It's your turn for the next group, Mr. Krum, Mr. Potter." The staff reminded, "You have 5 minutes to communicate how to deal with that dragon."

"..." Harry and Krum looked at each other, and Harry spoke first, "Well, then, what do you think?"

"I'll get the dragon's attention, and you'll get the golden egg." Krum still had a gloomy face, but Harry thought it was just his usual expression, not expressing dissatisfaction with himself.

"So, how do you get the dragon's attention?"

"I'll hit the dragon in the eye with a spell to temporarily blind it, and you'll take the golden egg while you're at it."

"But I heard that dragons themselves have extremely strong magical powers, and it is difficult for ordinary spells to work on them."

"Yes, but the eyes are the weakest part of the dragon." Krum replied, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Uh, there is one, I don't know how your Flying Charm is used..."

"Victor Krum and Harry Potter are entering the arena now! I don't know how well they will cooperate?" Bagman's voice became visibly excited, and bursts of screams erupted from the stands, after all These two people are much more famous than the four people just now.

"..." The two looked at each other, raised their wands at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Flying broom!"

If Harry and Krum had any strengths in common, what was it besides Quidditch?

When they flew into the air, they suddenly felt that all the fear in their hearts disappeared. What is there to be afraid of?This was the Quidditch pitch, where they were at their best, and the two golden eggs were like two Snitches, and the dragon was just a slightly tough Quidditch team.

"Come on!" Krum couldn't help showing a smile. He rode a broom up to the level of the dragon's eyes, and cast an eye sickness curse on the dragon's eyes.

China Fireball let out a shocking roar, and everyone in the audience gasped, but Krum didn't seem to be worried at all, and easily dodged the bloody mouth that Long Chong bit him.

But Harry seized this momentary opportunity, swooped down, bypassed the big wings of the Chinese fireball, and went directly to the nest of eggs behind it, picked the two golden eggs with great accuracy, and then made a series of sharp turns to avoid The big feet of the fire dragon stepped on because of pain, and the whole set of movements was done in one go.

"It's wonderful!" Krum couldn't help applauding him, "You fly really well, Potter!"

"Great!" Ludo Bagman said loudly, as if he had passed through the fire dragon just now, "It's not inferior to Mr. Einzbern and Ms. Flamel!"

But no one was more excited than Harry himself that he did it!He succeeded!Not only did he survive the dragon's mouth, but he won beautifully, and it wasn't all thanks to Mary!

"Harry! Harry!" screamed Hermione, running towards him, followed by Draco and Ron, and Mary was also walking quickly in this direction.

"You're brilliant!" said Hermione excitedly, though her voice showed that she was still terrified.

"It does pass," Draco said, "but can't you be gentle with that dragon?"

"Ignore him, Harry," Hermione cut Draco firmly.

"...I'm sorry, Harry, Mary." Ron looked pale at Harry, then at Mary, "I shouldn't have—"

But Mary hugged him and made him swallow the words, "There's nothing to be sorry about, Ron."

"..." I am very grateful, but can you let me go?I don't want to break up with my brother just after reconciling.

But of course Harry wasn't so narrow-minded, he also said with relief: "It's okay, just forget about it."

"By the way, how are the others playing?" Harry suddenly remembered.

"..." There was a moment of silence, Hermione, Draco and Ron looked at Mary and shook their heads together, "Monster!"

"..." Mary felt very innocent.

"Mary and Krum had the same idea. They both used the Eye Sickness Curse, which is indeed the most effective spell against dragons." Hermione began to describe the situation at that time, "But can you believe it? Mary was straight on the ground. The fire dragon cast an eye sickness spell. You must know that the fire dragon was looking up at that time! It was a full [-] meters, and Krum still flew up to cast the spell. ruthless!"

"Then Einzbern went over to get the two golden eggs—their division of labor was really unexpected. Everyone thought it was Einzbern who would attract the fire dragon's attention, because it was very dangerous, and Mary was once considered to be the weakest player in this Triwizard Tournament..."

"..." Are you kidding me? =mouth=

"However, Einzbern didn't just take the golden eggs. When Mary cast the Eye Disease Curse, he cast a strengthening spell on those eggs. As a result, although the Swedish short-nosed dragon also stomped everywhere, it didn't break. Those eggs." Draco said with some regret, "That's better than you and Krum."

"But the most astonishing thing is not this. When Einzbern was about to get the golden egg, the dragon suddenly seemed to go crazy." Hermione continued, showing a lingering expression, "It's really scary, All of a sudden—really all of a sudden—it spewed silver-blue flames at Mary, and you know, the fire of a Swedish short-nosed dragon is too dangerous even in a fire dragon."

Harry was terrified when he heard that, and quickly looked at Mary: "Mary, are you alright?"

"It's all right." Mary looked like you were too fussy, "Which wizard is afraid of fire?"

"so……"

"So this guy just froze those flames at once, the Freezing Flame Curse." Draco said with a stiff face.

"In the Middle Ages, wizards often used this method to enjoy burning at the stake." Hermione also put on a blank face, summing up Mary's performance: "Pervert."

"...What about Cedric and Fleur Delacour?"

"They don't cooperate very well." Ron shook his head, "You and Mary are the one to attract the attention of the fire dragon, and the other to get the golden egg, but the two of them seem to have no division of labor at all, and they all deal with the fire dragon when they come up. .”

"That's all, but Fleur used a magic that can make the dragon drowsy, but Cedric conjured a dog to attract the attention of the dragon." Ron said incredulously, "There is nothing better than that." Is this a worse match?"

"Finally let the fire dragon fall asleep, but the fire dragon spewed out a flame from its nose. They don't have the reaction ability like Mary. Fleur seems to want to give Cedric a spring of clear water, but the result is too much and makes him They were covered in water. They wasted too much time, and the fire dragon woke up after a while..." Hermione couldn't bear to continue, "But they succeeded in the end, even though it took several times more time than you."

"I don't think they could be any slower than that if they did nothing at all," Draco said.

Soon, the first project was officially over, and Bagman asked the warriors to wait for him in the tent for a while, and he was going to announce something about the second project.

Harry and Mary had arrived early, and there was no one in the tent yet.

"Mary, you—" "Harry—"

"You go first," Harry said to Mary.

"It's really nothing," said Mary. "I just want to know, was it you or Krum who came up with the idea of ​​using the broomstick?"

"It's me," Harry replied. "Well, don't you think that's a bit opportunistic? But I'm not like you—"

"No, it's a form of flexibility, too," interrupted Mary, smiling slowly. "What a surprise, Harry."
