Chapter 416: The First Test
He confirmed to Hagrid several times, until he was sure that they were really going to complete this incredible task, and he still had a dying look until now.
He also clearly remembered the basilisk in the secret room, its snake skin was inaccessible, water and fire would not hurt, and the curse could not penetrate. The fire dragons in the game will not be easier to deal with than the basilisk.
Even though he has made considerable progress over the course of more than a year, it is far beyond his ability to fight against one of the most powerful magical creatures in the magic world.
It was a fifty-foot-high dragon, those terrible fangs, dense scales and lumps, just looking at them could make your scalp numb and faint.
The flames they spit out are twenty to forty feet long, and they need a group of trained wizards to control a fire dragon that has been restrained. The contrast between him and the fire dragon is like a little beanie, a warrior who challenges a monster with a toothpick.
"Don't worry, aren't we thinking of a way!" Hermione comforted Harry carefully.
Ron handed Harry a glass of water. Seeing him drank the water in the glass in one breath, he said in a sympathetic tone, "I can't help but worry. That's the fire dragon. Maybe the teachers are crazy. I bet those The teacher couldn't beat the fire dragon, they even let the students go to fight the fire dragon whimsically."
"They won't let the students fight the fire dragon. They can't beat the fire dragon." George said in a positive tone. "The first project tests courage. What students need is to face the fire dragon, not defeat the fire dragon. ."
He pondered for a moment and said, "You said you saw a lot of dragon eggs, and they are all female dragons. The organizers will not deliberately find so many things that are not useful. In this way, the game is likely to be in front of the fire dragon. Get the dragon egg."
"Ah!" Harry felt relieved because he didn't have to fight the fire dragon, and immediately raised it again. "Snatching a dragon egg in front of the fire dragon is not easier than fighting the fire dragon."
George slowly analyzed, "Fire dragons are powerful magical creatures. You can't expect to rely solely on spells to harm them. Like basilisks, the thick skin of dragons has great protection, and only the most powerful spells can wear them. through."
"Their huge bodies make them have no deadly parts. Even the dragon's brain is protected by the strong dragon bones. The adult wizard who is alone, the best way to see a fire dragon is always to turn around and escape."
His analysis made Harry's face even more ugly, and he couldn't turn around and escape.
George did not continue to scare Harry, and said comfortingly, "Fortunately, you don't need to fight the fire dragon, all you need to do is avoid it and attract its attention."
"Just to attract attention, there will be more ways. Bright lights, loud noises, transformation spells, these can attract the attention of the fire dragon reads(); He Shen is a strict wife. If you choose to be invisible, weaken My own sense of existence, it is not very difficult to avoid the fire dragon."
Hermione nodded and said, "These are all spells that we can use, and we don't need to learn them in particular."
Over the years, they have mastered many practical spells. Whether it is to summon strong lights, make loud noises, or attack and transform into animals, they don't need to learn temporarily. If he can match the spells he has learned reasonably, Harry's next task seems to be solved.
"It doesn't seem so difficult." Listening to George's analysis, Ron felt that it was not that difficult to deal with the dragon.
"So what this project tests is your courage, not to let you die." George said lightly, "The normal rules of the game, this project, you can only know the task on the day of the competition."
"You only have more than ten minutes to prepare. You have to adjust your state in a very short time and consider how to deal with the fire dragon. This can really test your courage and resilience. Now that you know the task so many days in advance, it is naturally not difficult to be troubled. you guys."
"No wonder the previous contestants died so many people. I figured out a way to deal with the fire dragon in more than ten minutes. I guess only you can do it." Harry's mood finally eased and his tone became relaxed. With everyone's help, the seemingly incredible task has become so simple now.
George continued, "The way to deal with it is not difficult. The key point is whether you can remain calm when facing the fire dragon's deterrence and the flames it emits."
He watched Harry for a few seconds and said, "Harry, I am not worried. It is Cedric who needs to worry. He doesn't have so many people to help him find a way. Maybe he doesn't even know the game. "
Before the start of school, he took Harry, Hermione and Ron on the African savannah in the form of Animagus to adapt to the battle of predators They were unable to move from the beginning. The child who did not dare to see blood and would vomit when he saw a corpse, quickly transformed into an iron-blooded soldier.
This is the wizard, the extraordinary man with special power, the incredible warrior. Wizards control not only magic, not only power, but also complete control of themselves.
A strong will and a variety of magic can help them use reason to overwhelm their physical reactions and emotions in battle. Extraordinary power can make the least good at fighting a powerful fighter.
Harry pondered for a while and said, "I think I should tell Cedric that I saw Mrs. Maxim and Karkaroff in the fire dragon. They already know this. They will definitely tell this. Their student, now Cedric is the only one who doesn’t know the competition."
"That's how it should be, Cedric is also in our school. We can't let him face the fire dragon without knowing anything. Everyone is a classmate. There really is an accident, and it will be bad." Nodded, looking at Harry approvingly.
"That's good, since Harry doesn't plan to win the Triwizard Tournament, at least Cedric should be the champion-or Krum is also good-or Fleur seems to be too" Ron His voice became smaller and weaker, and he didn't know who should win the championship. It seems that everyone has a reason to win the championship.
George smiled lightly and said, "Whoever wins is good. As long as the game goes well, it is the best game."
If possible, he hopes that this game will go through calmly. With every extra time, his advantage over Voldemort was increased by a bit. Whether it was him, or Harry, Hermione, Ron, and everyone from the Brotherhood.
