A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 365: Life Is More Important than Rules? Cram at the Last Minute

Aaron returned with Abe, who was reluctant to leave, feeling a little more relaxed than when he came.

The first project was indeed related to dragons, but according to Charlie, it didn't seem to be a one-on-one life-and-death duel.

This was good news for him, because he knew dragon language, so as long as the opponent was not a tree-peak dragon, a fireball dragon, a short-nosed dragon, or a hot-tempered dragon, there would be a possibility of negotiation.

"Ouch! Who's there?"

Karkaroff's voice suddenly came from the darkness, which scared Aaron so much that he thought his disillusionment spell and illusion were discovered.

But when he found that Karkaroff was looking in the opposite direction, he realized that he was overthinking.

It was probably because Harry didn't pay attention when walking and bumped into him.

But it was really interesting. There were still two days before the first project started, and the headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang knew the content of the project, and they would definitely tell the warriors of their schools.

And he and Harry were mentally prepared enough, so the one who suffered the most was Cedric Diggory.

The day before the game, Aaron had breakfast in the auditorium and started to take a leisurely walk in the school.

It is quite necessary to relax and adjust the state before the game.

"Aaron." Harry came over with a tangled look on his face, "Are you free now? I want to talk to you about something."

"Go ahead."

"Dragons, adult fire dragons are our first project.

I saw them in the Forbidden Forest yesterday."

"Got it."

"Ah?"

Harry was confused. Aaron's calm reaction was completely different from what he thought.

"Did you not understand what I said?" Harry said anxiously, "Or do you think I'm kidding you?"

"Of course not, you were with Hagrid that night, as well as Ms. Maxim and Professor Karkaroff.

I was also there at the time and saw the five dragons with my own eyes, especially the Hungarian Treecrest Dragon, the bronze spikes on its tail were impressive."

"You..." Harry opened his mouth blankly, "But how did you know? Did Adrian tell you?"

"Don't be funny, she is quite disciplined and won't tell me this." Aaron stroked Abe in his arms, "But I have it. After those dragons were transported here, Abe sensed the existence of the same kind."

"So that's the case." Harry laughed awkwardly, and then asked, "Have you thought about how to pass this project?"

"It depends on the specific situation. After all, we only know that the first project is related to dragons, but it is definitely not related to Dragons fight for life and death. "

"Then do you have any ideas?" Harry said bitterly, "You know me, a dragon's breath might kill me."

"Ah this..." Aaron hesitated for a moment, shook his head helplessly, "I have my own ideas, and more than one, but none of them are suitable for you.

You can ask Professor McGonagall or Professor Moody, they may have good ideas. "

"But warriors shouldn't know the competition items in advance, right?"

"Which is more important, life or rules?" Aaron asked with a meaningful smile, "If you are really worried about this problem, why did you tell me the competition items?"

"Got it." Harry nodded heavily, "I will go to Professor Moody."

"By the way, there is one more thing.

Sirius guessed that it was Karkaroff who put my name into the Goblet of Fire. He used to be... a Death Eater."

"What?"

Aaron opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

Damn, this is really outrageous.

It's okay for a female giant to become the headmaster of Beauxbatons, but a Death Eater can actually become the headmaster of Durmstrang. Compared with Dumbledore's identity as the White Devil, she is much more noble.

"Karkaroff used to be a Death Eater, but after he was caught, he gave out a list of many accomplices and made meritorious contributions, so he was released from Azkaban.

Professor Moody was specially invited by Dumbledore to monitor him."

"Talent!" Aaron laughed dumbly, "Karkaroff's current situation is not very good.

The Dark Mark has appeared, and he will definitely be on the list of liquidations after Voldemort makes a comeback."

"Maybe! But the point now is that we have to be careful of him.

Not only him, but also the warrior of Durmstrang, Viktor Krum."

"Got it, I'll keep an eye on it." Aaron said. Karkaroff has problems, and his students are naturally worthy of suspicion.

"That's all I have to say." Harry shrugged. "Before I go to Professor Moody, I have to tell Cedric about the first project, so that it will be fair."

"Whatever you want."

After Harry left, he found Cedric on a lawn.

There were several Hufflepuffs around him, so it was easy to find him.

"Cedric, can I talk to you?"

"Yes."

After confirming that there was no one else around, Harry told him that dragon fighting was the first event.

Cedric was very surprised by this, and fear appeared in his gray eyes for the first time.

"Are you sure you are not kidding?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. There were five dragons, one for each of us.

Maybe we just passed by them, but even so it was extremely dangerous."

"Then Fleur, Krum, and Aaron..."

"They all know."

"Okay!" Cedric pursed his lips, then looked at Harry with suspicion, "Why did you tell me?"

"Maybe it's for fairness! I can't watch you face those behemoths unprepared."

"So you are prepared?" Cedric asked with interest.

"Not yet..." Harry said embarrassedly, "I plan to ask Professor Moody, he may know a spell that can help me."

"But if you know the competition items in advance..."

"Who cares about this when my life is almost gone."

Cedric:......

Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor's Office

The style of this room changes with each new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Lockhart's wall is covered with his own photos, Lupin's is filled with many dark magic animals used in class, and as for Quirrell... he had never been here when he was in his first year.

Nowadays, this office is filled with a lot of strange things, including a large peephole and a mirror hanging on the wall, which can reflect many dark figures, but the weirdest thing is the big wooden box under the window, which is locked with at least seven locks.

Harry looked at Professor Moody who was looking at him with a restrained face. Whether it was his normal eyes or the constantly rotating magic eye, it gave him considerable pressure.

"So, you found those dragons in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I found it by accident."

"It doesn't matter. Cheating is also an old tradition of the Triwizard Tournament." Moody smiled indifferently, "So, how do you plan to deal with the dragons?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Sit down." Moody kicked a chair in front of him and motioned Harry to sit in front of him.

"Listen to me, Potter.

Your friend Diggory, when he was your age, could turn a whistle into a watch that sings and tells the time.

Miss Delacour, she is not a little princess who can only act like a spoiled child.

Krum has strong limbs and a simple mind, but he has a headmaster, Karkaroff, who is smarter than a ghost.

As for Gaius... I don't know much, but he mastered an unforgivable curse last year, and there is a referee with a strong background behind him. No matter how they disagree on the surface, Adrian will definitely not watch him get into trouble.

Each of them has his own advantages, Potter, what are your advantages?"

"I, I don't know." Harry said embarrassedly, "I can fly, I fly well, but I..."

"I know." Moody nodded with relief, "I fly very well."

"But you are not allowed to use brooms in the competition."

"But you don't say you can't use wands!" Moody said meaningfully.

Harry was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Adrian explained that everyone can only bring one wand when entering the venue, but how to use it depends on the warrior himself.

This means that he can use a flying broom, and he only needs to summon it to the stadium in a reasonable way.

Summoning spell, yes, it is a summoning spell.

Professor Flitwick has taught this spell. Although he is not very proficient, he has a certain foundation.

The competition starts tomorrow afternoon, and he still has one day to practice.

He has no other choice. Whether he succeeds or not, he must succeed.

After figuring this out, Harry immediately left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and hurried to find Hermione for help.

He needs the guidance of a top student to practice the summoning spell. Aaron was originally the most suitable, but he was also a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament and might not have time to teach him.

A spell, practiced from the afternoon to the early morning, Harry barely mastered it.

He was still not very confident. After all, all his training was only conducted in the classroom, and the competition site was too far away from the Firebolt. He had not tried the long-distance summoning of this spell yet.

But even so, it cleared up most of the haze in his heart. Before today, he was only panicked and confused, but now at least he can see a glimmer of hope.

However, after waking up from a sleep, the atmosphere of tension and excitement in the school made him feel weak again.

In the tension, time seemed to pass very quickly.

He was in class just a moment ago, but when he came to his senses, he found himself in the auditorium.

"Potter, Gaius, the warriors have to go to the field below... You must be ready to complete the first project."

"Got it, Professor McGonagall, wait until I finish feeding Abe." Aaron said easily.

Harry also stood up from his seat, threw his fork into the plate, and his face was more determined than ever before.

"Good luck to you." Hermione whispered, "Harry, you have to believe in yourself, you will succeed."

"I hope so!"

"It seems you have a strategy?" Aaron asked playfully, "Can you tell me?"

"I plan to use a flying broom."

"Oh! Summoning spell, what a good idea."

"But the distance is too far." Harry said with tears in his eyes, "Even if it's a Firebolt, the time from the castle to the venue is enough for the dragon flame to kill me twice."

"It's really stupid, why don't you take the Firebolt outside the stadium? The audience seats should not be far from the stadium!"

Harry:......

Hermione:......
