Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 891 Desperation

  After a loud bang, the five people who were originally sitting on the referee's bench appeared out of thin air outside the competition field. Their faces were all ugly, and they were obviously **** off by the crazy behavior of the students.

   "It's dangerous, I thought I was going to die!"

  Bagman patted his chest with lingering fear, and stared at the culprit in dissatisfaction. No one thought of Karkaroff's "explanation", which directly aroused the dissatisfaction of all the audience, and even made them throw a curse at the referee's seat.

   "Dumbledore, Hogwarts treats it like this..." Karkaroff pre-empted, ready to pin the blame on Dumbledore.

   "Okay, Karkaroff."

Madam Maxim heard a burst of cheers from the stands, and interrupted impatiently: "I really don't understand why you gave Anderson 1 point, don't tell me it's because of his Muggle wizard status .It's all right now, how are you going to clean up the mess?"

  Karkaroff's face darkened instantly, he hummed dissatisfiedly, turned and left.

"It's horrible." Bagman looked at Karkaroff's leaving back, with an unconcealable disgust on his face: "I really don't understand why the Durmstrang Academy of Magic would hire such a guy to do it." Headmaster, it's no wonder Durmstrang has always had a bad reputation."

   "Okay Ludo, we should now consider how to solve the problem." Dumbledore said gently.

"How to solve it? As long as Karkaroff doesn't serve as a referee, all problems can be solved." Bagman thinks that Karkaroff should be kicked out of the referee team. What's wrong with a guy who can't even be fair and fair? The qualification to be a referee is purely to cause trouble for them, "However, I have never seen the students of Hogwarts so united!"

   "It can only be said that Mr. Anderson has extraordinary charm." Dumbledore asked Crouch: "Barty, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

   "The game will continue." Barty Crouch recovered from his trance, and said slowly: "If necessary, Karkaroff can be removed from the referee team."

   "I have no objection, but I don't want to repeat the experience just now." Madam Maxim was also very dissatisfied with Karkaroff.

  Some things are done, but you still treat the audience as idiots when everyone is angry, how stupid you have to be to do it.

   "Let's just take the average!" Bagman suggested: "For the position vacated by Karkaroff, take the average of the scores of the four referees. I think this is definitely more fair."

   "Okay." Barty Crouch didn't object. There must be a solution to this matter. Karkaroff felt ashamed and ran away first, but the follow-up game had to continue.

   "I have no objection." Mrs. Maxim agreed.

   "Then let's go back and re-evaluate!" Dumbledore said happily. Although there was a faint smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.

   Even Dumbledore didn't think about this incident. Although it was caused by Karkaroff, it would eventually have a bad influence on Hogwarts.

  The four of them returned to the bombed-out referee's seat. They didn't see Karkaroff, so they stopped throwing things at the referee team.

   After all, everyone only hates Karkaroff.

Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and repaired the referee seat that had been blown away by the spell. After several other people took their seats again, Bagman cleared his throat and said, "For some reason, Mr. Karkaroff is temporarily no longer in charge. The referee of the Triwizard Tournament, the position he vacated, will take the average of the four referees into the calculation, so..."

   Full marks! Full marks! Full marks!

  People shouted from the auditorium, but there were still a few murmurs of Karkaroff going to eat shit.

   Such a result is satisfactory after all. The most important thing for them is that Karkaroff no longer acts as a referee, and the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament can get a fair score.

   "Ahem, the game continues!" Bagman shouted after hearing the whistle, "Let us welcome today's second warrior, Miss Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons!"

In the auditorium, Albert and Isobel sat side by side. The two ate popcorn and talked intimately in a low voice. After hearing Bagman's shout, they looked at the playing field together. .

   "What method do you think Miss Delacour will use to pass the competition?" Isobel took the cup of black tea in Albert's hand, bit the straw and took a sip and asked.

   "I don't know, she probably won't confront the Welsh Green Dragon head-on." Albert looked at Fu Rong who was observing the surrounding field and guessed: "I think she will probably find a way to steal the golden egg."

   "Maybe, she will use the Eye Sickness Curse." Katrina couldn't help but interjected.

   "Krum is more likely to use the Eye Sickness Curse, which is more in line with Durmstrang's style of action." Albert speculated, "Mrs. Maxim should let her play to her advantage."

   "Advantage?" Katrina asked oddly, "Winning at a dragon?"

  Fu Rong first tried to use the Flying Curse on the golden egg, but it undoubtedly had no effect.

  She could only start to act according to the original plan, using the cover of the surrounding rocks, and slowly approached the Welsh green dragon.

   Luckily for her, the Welsh green dragon seemed unwilling to leave the lair, giving her the opportunity to get close enough that the spell could hit the dragon's eye with a single blow, hypnotizing it.

  The Welsh green dragon suddenly stared vigilantly at Fleur, who was approaching, and breathed out at her, making the beautiful silver-haired girl give up and move on.

  Fleur hesitated for a moment, then raised her wand to cast magic on the Welsh green dragon.

   "Oh, I'm not sure if it's wise to do so. As we all know, it is difficult for ordinary magic to penetrate the dragon's skin. Doing so will only irritate it."

  Fleur's spell successfully hit the Welsh green dragon's eyes, and even succeeded in making it fall into a semi-hypnotic state.

   "My God, Miss Delacour hypnotized a fire dragon, everyone, look, she is going to succeed!" Bagman shouted excitedly.

  Fleur approached the dragon's lair quietly, ready to take the golden egg under the eyes of the Welsh green dragon. The Welsh green dragon actually snored and let out a breath, scaring Fu Rong to dodge in a panic, but the corner of the skirt was still caught on fire by the flames.

  Fleur had to retreat behind the rock in embarrassment, and used her magic wand to create water to extinguish the fire.

   Just when she was about to continue approaching the lair, the Welsh green dragon woke up

   "Oh... just a little bit, what a pity!" Bagman couldn't help sighing, Fleur had already touched the side of the nest, and was almost able to get the golden egg.

   "Do you think she will succeed?"

   "Yes, but it's very risky. I don't recommend doing that. It's like betting your own life." Albert guessed Furong's plan.

  Once the fire dragon wakes up, before the dragon trainer has time to react, Fleur will die.

  However, Fleur obviously did not intend to give up and was ready to repeat the old trick. However, it is not easy to hypnotize the fire dragon.

As Bagman said, the dragon skin can resist most of the magic. Fleur's many attempts finally annoyed the Welsh green dragon. It flapped its wings and flew towards the rock that Fleur was avoiding, and stretched out its claws to sweep her .

   "Be careful... My God, it was too dangerous just now."

  Fu Rong almost followed in the footsteps of the lion. She was a little bit lucky, and when the sharp claws swept across, she jumped to the side, dodging the fatal blow in embarrassment.

  However, the fire dragon has already opened its mouth, ready to burn its provocative prey into ashes, when the dragon trainers on both sides are ready to rush out.

   Furong, who fell on the ground, looked at the ferocious fire dragon, raised her wand and cast a spell at its eyes.

  The fire dragon was hypnotized again.

  Furong rolled and crawled towards the fire dragon's lair, and picked up the golden egg hidden in the nest of dragon eggs.

   "Look, everyone, she has succeeded." Bagman's expression froze suddenly, "Be careful, my God, it woke up!"

  The Welsh green dragon glared at Fu Rong angrily, obviously very annoyed at the egg thief in front of him, it opened its mouth and breathed out towards Fu Rong.

  Fleur was petrified!

   There were screams of panic in the audience, and some people even closed their eyes in horror.

  When the breath of the Welsh green dragon was about to burn Fleur to death, the breath of the dragon suddenly went out.

The dragon trainer who had been prepared for a long time rushed into the field as soon as Furong got the golden egg, extinguished the breath that was about to burn Furong to ashes, and used the stun spell on it by the way, finally managed to control it situation.

  Fleur's score is not high, except for Mrs. Maxim who gave 9 points, Dumbledore and Bagman both gave 8 points, Crouch gave 7 points, a total of 40 points.

"Miss Delacour's tactics were indeed successful, but unfortunately there were some accidents at the end, which directly affected the final score!" Bagman commented, "If Miss Delacour gets the golden egg and goes well If you get rid of the Fire Dragon, score at least 45 points or more."

"She's lucky, the group of dragon trainers reacted quickly enough, otherwise she would have turned into a scorched corpse." Albert felt that if "Harry Potter" wasn't a "fairy tale", the Della Ms. Kool may have already turned into a charred corpse.

   "It seems that I have to be careful." Albert murmured. Although the probability was not high, he didn't want to become Digory's scapegoat for no apparent reason.

  Barty Crouch Jr.!

   You must be prepared, he will never give the experience package any chance.

   "What's wrong?" Isobel asked.

   "It's nothing." Albert looked at the busy dragon trainer and said softly, "I just think the Triwizard Tournament is really unreliable. No wonder such a game will be called off."

   "Then why are you still participating?" Katrina asked puzzled.

   "To fulfill someone's wish." Albert said calmly.

"who?"

  Albert didn't intend to answer, and Isobel also knew the answer. The two looked at each other, neither intending to tell Katrina.

  It took a lot of time for the dragon trainers in the audience to finally get the Welsh green dragon away. Then, they placed the Chinese fireball's nest and dragon eggs on the field, and placed the fire dragon on the nest.

   After the dragon trainers get ready and blow their whistle. Bagman held up the microphone and shouted: "Let us welcome today's third warrior, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang Academy of Magic."

   Krum's appearance was extraordinary, and there was a burst of shouts from the audience, and his fans were cheering for him!

   "Both Mr. Anderson and Ms. Delacour have brought us unexpected surprises." Bagman shouted cheerfully: "I'm looking forward to what surprises Mr. Krum will bring to everyone!"

  Krum acted quite calmly. After observing the surrounding environment, he raised his wand in full view and quickly approached the fire dragon.

  The audience was stunned.

   What is Klum trying to do?

   Are you going to confront the Chinese fireball head-on like Albert?

   Everyone quickly got the answer.

Krum did choose to fight head-on. He took advantage of the fact that the Chinese Fireball was still crouching in front of the lair. All this happened so fast that the audience had no time to react, and the light of the spell hit the Fire Dragon's eyes accurately. .

  China Fireball let out a terrifying and earth-shattering roar, which made the audience gasp in fright.

   "Very bold." Bagman yelled loudly, "Krum player has completely angered China Fireball. This is not good news."

  Krum was really bold. After he injured the dragon's eyes, he was still casting spells on it, trying to lure the dragon away from the lair, and give himself a chance to go and take the golden eggs.

   "You really hit the spot, but why didn't you use the Eye Sickness Curse to deal with the fire dragon?" Katrina asked suspiciously. She didn't think Albert would use the Eye Sickness Curse.

   "Look at the fire dragon's lair." Albert reminded, "The score for destroying dragon eggs will not be too high."

  During the chaos just now, many dragon eggs were trampled to pieces by the rampant Chinese fireball.

   "You can lure the fire dragon away first, and then use the Eye Sickness Curse to attack." Katrina couldn't understand why Albert didn't use this method.

"Hitting a moving target is more difficult than you expected. Once the spell fails to hit, the warrior will be out of luck. The fire dragon will not give you too many opportunities." Albert felt that Katrina's thinking was too naive. If your life is really in danger, how can you even aim at the fire dragon's eyes.

   "Mr. Krum rushed up, and he showed extraordinary courage—yes, he managed to get the golden egg!" Bagman shouted.

   However, Krum created a big problem, and the out-of-control dragon is not easy to mess with.

  After Krum got the golden egg, the dragon trainers swarmed up and began to fight the rampant Chinese fireball.

   This is much more interesting than the match between Fleur and Krum.

  Many people in the auditorium watched with wide eyes how the dragon trainer subdued the runaway fire dragon.

   A large group of people fighting a fire dragon, this is a rare scene.

  It took a lot of effort for the dragon trainers to finally subdue the berserk Chinese fireball and take it away from the competition field.

   "Ahem, let's see Krum's final score." Bagman coughed lightly and brought everyone's attention back.

   This time, the four referees only gave Klum 7 points.

"Mr. Krum's score is obviously low. It would be a better choice to lure away the fire dragon and use the Eye Sickness Curse, but he didn't do it." Bagman gave a reasonable explanation before the audience caused commotion again, "He shouldn't have destroyed those dragon eggs. Everyone knows that dragon eggs are very precious. If they hadn't been destroyed, Mr. Krum would have scored more than 45 points."
