Chapter 0957 Why are there so many weirdos in Hogsmeade today?
The Triumph Championship started as scheduled, but since the competition is a large-scale cross-school, cross-border and cross-magic world activities throughout the entire school year, each event will be separated by a considerable period of time, and the Warriors will be given a long time to prepare before the competition, or... cheating?!
Therefore, the first project will take some time to officially start, and the Warriors still have a lot of time to prepare for this.
Although no matter from which perspective, in the eyes of Harry and Hermione, the so-called warriors all seem to be cheating?
After all, they knew that whether it was Principal Kakarov, Maxim, or even himself and Hermione, they all learned about the content of the first event of the Triple Championship, and they were all trying their best to defeat or deal with a Fire Dragon... But given that this matter was fair to all the Warriors, he and Hermione were soon relieved and were trying to find a way to deal with the first event.
"Hey! Ron!"
"Ron? Wait for me first..."
Now, after today's Potion Class, Harry immediately called out Ron, a friend who had been black since class and had never been willing to speak, and had even ignored him for the past two days.
"Hey!"
"Ron, that's it. I want to know, are you good at or know how to deal with a fire dragon? The big one, the female one, can spit fire, should be the kind that is holding a nest and hatching eggs..."
Speaking of this, Harry suddenly couldn't continue.
Because he discovered that their good friend Ron was squinting his eyes at this moment, glaring at him with incredible and angry eyes, as if he was doing something extremely sinful or unforgivable?
"Shut up, Harry!"
"You got up with Hermione and played tricks on me. Not only did you use methods I didn't know to deceive the Goblet of Fire and won the title of Warriors, and played on behalf of Hogwarts... But now you are planning to cheat. You learned about the content of the game before the ancient and sacred competition event began, and you also wanted to ask me how to deal with a female fire dragon?!"
"you……"
"I really misread you! I didn't expect you to be such a person?!"
"You are not worthy of being a Gryffindor. What's the difference between you and those dark wizards in Slytherin now and those little snakes?"
Ron's voice became louder and louder. It was obvious that he was still worried about the deception and playful behavior of his two good friends, and he could not let go of the anger in his heart no matter what!
However, when he found that Professor Snape, who was about to leave at the far classroom door, seemed to hear something and turned his head to look at them at the first time, he quickly resisted the feeling that was about to say that he was not sure whether it was due to anger, jealousy, or other emotions, and hurriedly lowered his voice and stopped talking.
"I didn't! Ron, I swear I didn't!"
"Hermione was signed up for her. You know, Professor Anne has a good relationship with Hermione. She has the ability to interfere with the Goblet of Fire. She is not weaker than Professor Dumbledore at all!"
"But Ron!"
"Please believe me, I really didn't sign up at that time. If I knew that method, I would definitely tell you at that time! Moreover, all the contestants know about the Fire Dragon now, not only I know it!"
"Including Hermione, that Fleur and Crum, they all know!"
After looking at Snape in the distance who looked at him and the other two, Harry ignored the guy, but lowered his voice and explained to Ron nervously.
Because it is the end of get out of class now, the Potions class has ended today, so he doesn't need to mind Snape's thoughts anymore, and there is no rule in the school rules that it is not allowed to discuss things in the corridor when the get out of class is over!
“…”
Ron did not speak, but continued to stare at the "ex-' friend in front of him with that cold look. He seemed to be thinking about it. He didn't know if what the former friend said in front of him was worthy of his trust?
“…”
"What did you just want to ask?"
Finally, after waiting for a while, Ron, who had made some decisions, spoke.
However, judging from his expression, Harry had no idea what he was thinking at this time...
"ah?"
"Oh! Yes...yes, I want to ask if you know how to deal with a fire dragon, the kind of mother, it seems that it is still hatching eggs?"
For some reason, Harry became a little scared when he saw Ron's expression now. But after thinking about it, he still bit the bullet and told him what he wanted to ask for help from the other party.
Because Hermione had already gone to Professor Anne, but she did not get any reasonable and effective suggestions, at least not for him and Hermione. After all, they cannot burn the fire dragons with just one fire, just like Professor Anne said?
“…”
"Sorry, Mr. Porter!"
"Like you, I don't know how to deal with a fire dragon... You should discuss this problem with Miss Granger. She is like you, both Hogwarts warriors, and they all used despicable little means to obtain the Warriors' quota, but I am just a clown who is ridiculed and teased by you. How could I know?"
"I'm not a warrior, and I'm not qualified to be a warrior. I'd better leave it to you warriors to deal with the fire dragon!"
"That's what you should do. Where can I be qualified to participate, do you think?"
In the last moment, Harry almost thought that Ron had forgiven him, but he didn't expect that in the next second, the other party's expressionless face suddenly turned into a cold that made him difficult to understand and strange. After answering his question sarcastically as if he was ridiculing, he turned around and left.
“!!”
"Ron, you..."
I never expected that my good friend, Ron, who had experienced a lot of dangers with me, would be angry with me and Hermione for the triple competition?
This made Harry, who had just raised it, wanted to hold the other person's hand, and he couldn't help but hang down again at the last moment...
Until now, he really didn't know how to explain to Ron, because he dared to swear that he and Hermione did not sign up without hiding each other. He and Hermione were both confused before. It was not until now that he realized that someone had signed up for them secretly, so there was absolutely no way to know some registration method or trick, but he hid it but did not tell the other party!
But unfortunately, now Harry knew that their friend Ron must not listen to his explanation. At least, it would definitely not work before the other party's anger faded?
"ah!"
"Teacher, professor..."
Harry, who was about to leave, had to stop again because he found that Snape had already stood in front of him at this time, forcing him to grit his teeth and greet him politely.
"Potter..."
"I heard what you just talked to Weasley..."
"Hmph! I really didn't expect that our famous savior, Harry Potter, and one of our heroic warriors in Hogwarts, would now want to find someone to help cheat?"
When he walked out of the classroom and passed by the dazed Harry, Snape stood still without hesitation and spoke sarcastically.
“…” !!
Harry was a little angry. He wanted to yell at Snape and tell the other party loudly:
Now all the Warriors know the content of the first project. So, there is nothing wrong with him looking for a way to deal with the Fire Dragon in advance, and it cannot be considered cheating at all!
Because, in a sense, the first project is already an open-book exam, so what's wrong with him reciting the answers or finding the key points in advance?
And he knew that now, whether it was Fleur Delakule of the Busbaton Magic School, Wickdor Crum of the Demstrong Magic School, or even Hermione, they were all trying to find ways to target the Fire Dragon. Therefore, it is definitely a normal and reasonable behavior for him to seek help from Ron now, and it is not as unbearable as the other party said!
Moreover, Harry also knew that Ron's brother Charlie was a wizard who trained dragons in Romania. If he asked Ron for that kind of question, it would be equivalent to indirectly asking a dragon trainer expert for asking, which was much more useful than turning around the thick books in the library with him and Hermione.
but,
Now facing Snape, the "dark wizard", Harry, who knew the truth, did not refute it, but stared at the other person with his silent gaze with anger and shame. He was not stupid enough to contradict a professor at this time, especially when he hated himself and was targeting his greasy old bat everywhere!
"Boy Porter!"
"I warn you, with your current ability, never try to face the female fire dragon that lays an egg head-on. You will never be able to defeat it, nor can you control it!"
"If I were you, I would have spent more time on how to escape from its eyes or use what I am good at to complete the ridiculous championship event, rather than blindly thinking about how to deal with an adult fire dragon?"
"snort!"
As if ridiculed, and as if it was a reminder, Snape looked at Harry deeply and snorted coldly before he swung his signature black robe, turned directly to the corridor in the distance, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor in Hogwarts' slightly dark Potion Classroom.
"you……"
Looking at the other party's departure back, Harry opened his mouth. Just as he was thinking of yelling in a low voice, he was stunned and came back to his senses.
Because, he vaguely felt... that annoying old bat, the dark wizard Professor Snape, while the other party was just talking and laughing at him, he seemed to have accidentally reminded himself of some way to complete that project one?
However, he really doesn't know whether the other party said it intentionally or unintentionally...
Anyway, Harry said that he would definitely not be grateful to the other party, and at most he would just curse less? So, he would have to go back and talk to Hermione right now. As for Ron's problem, I'm afraid he can only postpone it before dealing with it. After all, they have more important things now and must do their best. They can't embarrass Hogwarts.
And when Harry was about to find Hermione, he was at Hogsmeade Village...
In this village near the Hogwarts Magic School, composed of pure wizards, not too far from Hogwarts Castle, a little girl is wandering here in the village built of rocks and magically protected walls of the Hogwarts Magic School.
“…”
????(????'??)?????????
This village has a long history as long as Hogwarts. According to legend, Hogsmeade was built a long time ago at the same time as Hogwarts Castle, but it did not directly form a village at that time. Instead, a wizard named "Henges" came here to settle down in order to avoid the persecution of muggles. Later, with the establishment of the Hogwarts Magic School, more and more wizards chose to come to Hogsmeade to live for business or other reasons, and gradually formed the appearance in front of them.
According to the books collected by the Hogwarts School Library and the records of the "Magic Historical Sites", Hogsmeade was also the rebel headquarters during the rebellion of the goblins. It can be said that it has a very "historical heritage"!
Due to certain safety factors, Hogwarts School stipulates that only students in third grade or above can go there to let the air on a specific Saturday, but a guardian must sign the letter of responsibility.
However, since today is not Saturday, there are no students in this Hogsmeade Wizard Village except for a small number of pedestrians! Therefore, it is still quite eye-catching that a little girl wanders around the streets. Fortunately, the villagers or shop owners of Hogsmeade can basically recognize the professor of Hogwarts, so they don’t really care much about the little girl’s professor’s appearance here?
“…”
(??_??)
"It's true, it's been so long, why haven't they come yet?"
????(?????????????)?????????????????
Little Annie, who was wandering around, was a little impatient...
Because the Hogsmeade village is not big, just a dozen or twenty houses or thatched houses built along both sides of the road or a thatched roofed dilapidated house like shops, she just took a few minutes to visit. In addition, it’s not Saturday, and those candy shops are not open, and she doesn’t want to go to any smelly bars, so after she has been back and forth twice, she really has no place to go.
“Eh?”
∑(??△)?!
However, when Anne was about to teleport directly to London's overturned alley to find trouble for the hateful shopkeeper, she suddenly seemed to find something other unusual...
"hey-hey……"
??华??华????
"Tibers, you said... they must be some bad guys, right?"
(??????????)☆
Originally, Hogsmeade had not many people, because it was a small village, and there were only so many houses. Except for a small number of wizards who passed by or had business dealings with Hogwarts, there were only a few people coming and going, and there were very few strangers who came here specifically.
But……
Today, for some reason, many strange expressions suddenly appeared, with magic wands hidden in their cuffs, and strange aunts pretending to be drinking?
(…)
(● ̄(??) ̄●)
"Then, let's go back first..."
(o ̄ ̄)○
Anne must have wanted to know why those weirdos came to Hogsmeade, but she didn't want to run over and ask directly, but was going to figure it out by herself!
So, she was going to pretend to go back to Hogwarts school first, and then...
Hehehe...
??华??华????
After thinking about it, little Anne carried her own bad bear, Tibers, hummed a cheerful song, and jumped along the path towards the gate of Hogwarts School.
()
e=(?????'●))) Alas
(You don't need to guess Tibers more, and soon, someone will be in trouble)
??*????(Happy Spring Festival*)????*??
Chapter completed!
