Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 887 Traditional Skills

   "It seems that Albert is right."

In the room, Yanila, who was playing wizard chess with Furong, looked sideways at the tall figure outside the window, and said softly to the person playing chess in front of her: "Mrs. Maxim will really try her best to help you figure out the content of the first project What is it?"

"You don't sleep at night and come to play wizard chess with me just to tell me these nonsense?" Fleur frowned deeply, and her eyes fell on the well-dressed Madam Maxim, very puzzled by Hogg Watts' hunting ground guards, what attracts their principal? Is it because of himself that Mrs. Maxim agreed to this invitation?

   "Of course not, I just came to ask you some information."

   "What information?"

   "Information about Albert?" After meeting Isobel in Hogsmeade, Yanila suddenly realized that she knew too little about Albert.

   "I don't know him much better than you. I really don't understand why you like him, just because he is handsome?" Fleur really couldn't understand Yanila's obsession with Albert.

  She admits that Albert is handsome, talented, and famous, but Yanila herself is not inferior to Albert, even more generous.

   "You have a real eye for people." Yanila sneered.

   "No matter how ordinary, it's better than you staring at other people's men." Fu Rong retorted.

  Furong was a little depressed, but she had to admit that Yanila's family had a good vision, but certain behaviors were really criticized.

   "Tell me, what do you want?" Yanila asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later. However, I don't think you can catch him." Furong didn't hide her gloating, and began to recall: "I remember the first time I saw him and knew his name. In the letter, he said that he met a very interesting friend in England, and asked me if I want to get to know him, and I can try to become a pen pal with him, and keep in touch with him by letter.”

  At that time, Fu Rong was really surprised. After all, his father’s friends were all about the same age, and they actually said they wanted to introduce her to her, which baffled her.

  “Later, the first time I saw each other was after the international wizard chess competition, when Albert Anderson had just won the international championship, and I only knew that the friend named Anderson mentioned by my father was about the same age as me.

   "However, my cousin Louise knows him and also likes him. It is said that they are pen pals and often communicate by letter. As for how they met, maybe it was introduced by my uncle. Who knows?"

"Then, not long ago, I saw him again at a relative's wedding. At that time, Anderson took the woman named Isobel to the wedding." Furong thought for a while and added: "At the wedding , he hangs out with a group of well-known wizards, they seem to know each other, and they have a good relationship."

"Oh, by the way, last summer, I met him again. At that time, he was with his girlfriend. I heard that he seemed to be engaged." Fu Rong's face was full of unconcealable gloating: "At that time they brought The engagement ring, Cousin Louise, has had a long time to grieve over it."

   "Engaged?" Yanila froze and asked in disbelief, "He just came of age this year?"

   "I'm sure it's engagement, they don't need to lie at all." Fleur looked at the wonderful expression on Yanila's face, quite satisfied with the harm this heavy news had done to Yanila.

   "So, you are hopeless, maybe in front of you, there are a dozen girls who have a crush on him like you coveting him." Fu Rong did not hide her ridicule at all, and planned to use this to hit Yanila.

  Yanila took a while to recover, and after noticing the mockery on Furong's face, she said calmly, "I'm not vying for his wife's position."

   "Yeah, you just want to be his lover." Fu Rong sneered: "I really don't understand what your family is thinking."

"This is not something you should consider. Madam Maxim should be back soon. I think she will tell you what the first project is. Think about how to pass the first project of the Triwizard Tournament." Ya Nila moved the chess pieces and mercilessly checked Furong to death, ending the game that lasted for half an hour.

   Shortly after Yanila got up and went back to rest, Mrs. Maxim came back and came to talk to Fleur about the first project.

   "Sit down," Madam Maxim said straight to the point, "I just figured out the first item of the Triwizard Tournament."

  At this moment, Furong felt very uncomfortable. She once thought that Mrs. Maxim would not help her cheat, but Albert was obviously right. Cheating is completely normal in the Triwizard Tournament.

  Fleur quietly waited for Madam Maxim to say the content of the first item.

   "Warriors need to face the fire dragon. I just saw a group of dragon trainers bring four fire dragons in the woods." Mrs. Maxim directly pointed out to Fleur the danger she had to face.

   "Warriors need to fight dragons?"

  Fleur stared blankly at Madam Maxim, and remembered again that she dismissed Albert's words in the bar, thinking that the other party could not subdue a fire dragon.

   However, can he defeat a fire dragon?

   Obviously not.

"Of course not. You need to pass by the fire dragon to get the golden egg that the organizer put in the fire dragon's lair. Only the warrior who gets the golden egg can pass the first project." Madam Maxim comforted softly, " Don't worry, you don't need to defeat the fire dragon, you just need to find a chance to steal the golden egg, and I will help you find a way."

   "It's not easy."

  Furong's heart has never been so tense and anxious as it is now. She even suspects that she will be burned to ashes by the dragon flames before she gets close to the fire dragon's lair.

   "Fire dragons have weaknesses, as long as the weaknesses are targeted..."

"You mean eyes? But I don't think it's a good idea to provoke a dragon." Fleur remembered Albert's weakness in talking about fire dragons, and immediately realized what Madam Maxim wanted to say, but she didn't want to use eye disease Curse, even if it succeeds, she still needs to face a raging fire dragon.

   "No, I'm not talking about the Eye Sickness Curse, that's quite a reckless approach." Madam Maxim has been thinking about how to deal with the fire dragon since just now, "I think you should use your strengths."

   "Play to my strengths?"

   "You are very good at charm magic, aren't you?" Madame Maxime said.

   "But, does charm magic work on fire dragons?" Fu Rong expressed her doubts.

"No, I mean hypnosis. I know a very powerful hypnosis magic. Your talent and wand are very suitable for this kind of magic. As long as you use it, it will definitely make the fire dragon fall into a hypnotic state. Then you can take advantage of the fire dragon When you are drowsy, steal the golden egg quietly. It is quite stupid to confront the fire dragon head-on. As we all know, at least eight dragon tamers are needed to subdue a dragon." Madam Maxim is very clear about the purpose of the first project. The key is how to get the golden egg, not subdue a fire dragon, which tests the bravery and wisdom of the warriors.

  Actually, in the past, it was really possible to become a uniform fire dragon. It is not for nothing that the Triwizard Tournament was criticized for being extremely dangerous.

"We will start training tonight. As for the eye sickness spell you mentioned, we will keep it as a backup plan. To be honest, we don't have much advantage. Karkaroff should sneak away to check the content of the first project tonight. I Doubt that he will let his warriors use the Eye Sickness Curse to deal with the dragon." Madam Maxim did not have any expectations for Karkaroff's integrity, "As for Harry Potter and Albert Anderson, they should also know about the first project Content, they all have a good relationship with Hagrid, I think Hagrid will definitely let them know about the dragon."

  Fleur was silent again, because she remembered what Albert said in the bar: All the players are cheating, and the whole game is like a joke.

   Isn't that the case now?

  Madam Maxim misunderstood Hagrid. Hagrid really hasn't told Albert and Harry about the dragon. In fact, Hagrid did think about doing that, but Mrs. Maxime's romantic date and the excitement of seeing the dragon made Hagrid forget everything else.

No way, without Little Barty's instigation and exhortation, the excited Hagrid would easily forget the others. Maybe, when he thinks about it tomorrow, he will tell Harry and Albert, but who knows what tomorrow will be What about the situation?

  As for Barty Jr., he has completely given up on helping Harry win the championship, and naturally he doesn't have so much time to deal with Harry's stupidity, especially after Dumbledore has some doubts about him, any move is unwise. What's more, with the help of Black and Lupine, Harry should not die easily. If Harry really died in the Triwizard Tournament, it might be a good thing for the Dark Lord, at least it means that the so-called savior is not qualified to stand In front of the Dark Lord.

Harry Potter naturally didn't know about it. Because of Albert's relationship, he had already known about the fire dragon in advance, and he had already made complete preparations. It can be said that he had the most confidence in himself besides Albert. warriors.

  However, the next day something happened that made Albert feel extremely weird. Someone came to tell him that the first project needed to face the fire dragon.

   "It seems that you already know?"

Yanila noticed Albert's calm expression, and knew that Albert must know about the fire dragon, but Yanila still came to tell Albert that it is natural to do the thing of gaining favor. As for where he knew, it is natural It was Fleur who told her, and Albert knew about it anyway.

   "Aren't you worried that Beauxbaton's students will regard you as a traitor?" Albert asked with a strange expression.

  He naturally knew where Beauxbaton's news came from, but hearing a student of Beauxbaton tell him himself still made him feel inexplicably weird.

  I think that hunting ground guard named Hagrid will probably tell you, isn't your relationship very good?

   "Then you still come to tell me about this?" Albert asked with a smile.

   "I just feel that that guy is very unreliable. Maybe he was too excited because he was going on a date with Mrs. Maxim, and maybe he forgot about it."

  Albert was silent, because Hagrid hadn't told them about the fire dragon so far. At least Yanila was right. Hagrid was too excited to date Madame Maxime and forgot about it.

  Of course, it may also be because I was too excited to see the fire dragon.

  Who knew?

   Probably forgot.

  Anyway, Hagrid has always been unreliable in Albert's impression.

  If it is said that what makes Albert more dissatisfied is that the task of "figuring out the content of the first project of the Triwizard Tournament" may fail.

However, the most embarrassing thing about this incident was not with Albert, but shortly after Yanila left, Albert told Hermione the news, and Hermione told Harry the news, haha Li didn't expect that the news about the fire dragon came from a student of Beauxbatons.

  Although they had learned about the fire dragon from Albert, the three of them were puzzled by Hagrid's defection.

   "I think Hagrid is probably fascinated by Mrs. Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons." Hermione finally came to such a conclusion.

  Maybe, when Hagrid recovered from his great excitement, he'd tell them about the dragon.

   "Maybe, he won't remember until the 24th." Ron also felt the inexplicable irony of this incident.

"I suddenly found that Albert's words are really sharp and correct," said Harry. In fact, he doesn't care much about the game now, just like what Albert said: Everyone is cheating, and the whole game is like a game. A joke, what a warrior's glory, that's a complete joke.

"It turns out that, except for Dumbledore, no one else has such a noble character. Look at what happened on the Quidditch Cup this year." Ron sarcastically sarcastically. The outcome of the Tournament is no longer important, what matters is Harry's safety.

  As for the fire dragon, after they consolidated their foundation again with the help of Sirius and Remus, they met Hagrid on the way back to school. It should be said that Hagrid seemed to be waiting for them on purpose.

   "Harry, I have something important to tell you." Hagrid said mysteriously.

   "We already know about the fire dragon." Hermione comforted.

   "You already know." Hagrid was surprised.

   "Albert told us. Just this morning, a student of Beauxbatons told Albert the news, and Albert told Harry."

  The three of them noticed the embarrassed expression on Hagrid's face, because he didn't tell them the news about Albert and Harry himself or wrote to them, but got the news from Beauxbatons.

"You don't have to worry about Hagrid." Hermione comforted her intimately: "You forgot something, Albert can do divination, he knew about the fire dragon a long time ago, so Harry has been training against the fire dragon .”

   "Oh, come on Harry, as for Albert, I never thought he needed to be worried." Hagrid said awkwardly.

   "You shouldn't have said that just now." Ron waited for them to walk away, and looked at Hermione reproachfully: "He even forgot about Harry and Albert."

   "He didn't do it on purpose, you probably don't understand that feeling!"

   "I don't understand, but what do you think would happen if Harry faced the fire dragon without knowing it?" Ron understood a little now, why cheating could become a tradition in the Triwizard Tournament.

If it was only on the day of the competition that they knew that they needed to face the fire dragon, Albert would probably be the only one who could calmly face the fire dragon. It would be great for others to not be frightened, let alone figure out a way to deal with the dangerous fire dragon in a short time .

What tests a warrior's magical talents, advantages, courage, theory, reasoning ability, and ability to overcome danger are all bullshit. Even if a thirty-year-old wizard is thrown in front of a fire dragon, his legs will not tremble in fright , Losing his life is already very good.
