The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 400 First Project

The way time runs seems to become more and more weird, and it seems that someone has pressed the accelerator button and ran forward at high speed. In a blink of an eye, November 24th, the day of the competition, arrived.

In the past few days, the relationship between Harry and Ron has returned to normal, and the trio has reunited.As crouching dragons and phoenixes, Ron and Hermione have helped Harry practice a lot these days, allowing Harry to master the ability to pass the first project.

Unlike Harry, who was anxious and practiced every day, Ada continued to wander around the castle leisurely every day, sometimes playing snowball fights with the twins, and had a very happy life.

It wasn't until the night before the game that Ada seemed to realize that she was also a warrior and had to deal with the fire dragon the next day.Grinding his guns in front of the battle, he was not happy, and the library finally ushered in the long-lost figure of Ada.

On the day of the competition, the students were surrounded by tension and excitement since the morning, discussing fiercely what the first project was, whether anyone would be injured, and whether anyone could not even pass the first test.

As business wizards at Hogwarts, Fred and George directly set the odds.

Bet on Ada and lose [-], because Ada is the person with the highest probability of winning; bet on Viktor Krum and lose [-], because Krum is a Quidditch superstar in the world, so he also has the hope of winning; Fleur The odds are the same as Harry's, five to one.

Harry was only in the fourth grade, so the odds were normal, but for Fleur's odds, the twins somewhat looked down on Beauxbaton's player.

In fact, the twins' odds for Fleur are justified. Ada has been idle all day long, Fred and George are not idle at all, and the two brothers have often sought out students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons to make friends. .

Dealing with Beauxbaton's students is very simple. Fred and George only need to please Hector. Talk to Hector about Fleur, and he can talk for a long time alone.

The twins were misbehaving again. They took advantage of Hector's affection and inquired about Fleur's first-hand information from him.

Durmstrang's students are slightly difficult to deal with, and the twins can only disguise themselves as Krum's admirers, so as to engage in stereotypes.Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Fred and George still heard some falsehoods.

Only then did the odds be set, which was the result of the twins' deliberation, not hasty at all.

As soon as the handicap opened, the students who had nowhere to show their excitement rushed up one after another.There were many people participating in the event, but the fewest bets on Ada to win. Although Ada seemed to be making a steady profit without losing money, everyone seemed to want to make a big fortune with a small amount, and the number of people betting on Furong was the largest.

Give it a go, the meteor turns into a Firebolt, killing the Weasley twins!

The odds of Harry and Fleur are the same, but there are not many people who voted for Harry, only slightly more than Ada.The Hogwarts students still haven't forgiven Harry for being the fourth warrior.

At noon that day, the school was closed to give the whole school time to go down to the dragon's paddock--of course, the students didn't know what they were going to see there.

The warriors were also called to the tent on the edge of the field early. Ada, Fleur and Krum were all there, but Harry was not there.

Fleur Delacour was sitting on a low wooden stool in a corner, looking a little flustered, her pretty face very pale and sickly.

Viktor Krum looked more sullen than usual, well-grown, thoughtless and genuinely unhappy.Ada really didn't understand what happened to Krum, and she had such a face every day, how bitter and vengeful it was.

Accompanied by Professor McGonagall, Harry arrived late. He seemed to have forgotten how to smile. His facial expression was very stiff, as if he had done too much cosmetic surgery.

The four warriors arrived, and Ludo Bagman, wearing the old Hornets uniform, stood up and introduced the situation.

The first item is the fire dragon. The warriors choose the fire dragon they will face by drawing lots. The task of the warriors is to get a golden egg through the guard of the fire dragon.

Just when Ludo Bagman was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere in the tent, the sound of hundreds of feet passing by came from outside the tent, and the owners of the feet were chatting and laughing excitedly.

People's sorrows and joys are not the same. Except for Ada, the rest of the contestants in the tent would only think that the students outside were noisy.

Ludo Bagman untied a purple silk bag, handed the bag to Fleur Delacour, and said, "Ladies first."

Fleur with a nervous expression put her trembling hand into the cloth bag slightly, and took out a small, lifelike model of a dragon—a Welsh green dragon with a number tied around its neck: number two.

Fleur and Ms. Maxim exchanged glances, she had a resigned expression on her face, as if she had no confidence in dealing with a fire dragon.

"Ladies are also preferred." Ludo Bagman handed the bag to Ada again.

Ada reached into the bag and randomly grabbed a model out, a bright red Chinese fireball dragon with the number three tied around its neck.

What Krum pulled out was number one, the Swedish Brachysaurus.Seeing this number, Krum's expression didn't change. He found a stool and sat down, and began to adjust his breathing.

The last remaining fire dragon is the most ferocious of the four dragons, the Hungarian Shufeng dragon.Harry didn't even have a chance to choose, leaving it to the youngest person, but he was the most ferocious fire dragon, a perfect template for the protagonist.

After the fire dragon was drawn, Ludo Bagman left the tent, and he also had to take care of the responsibilities of explaining the game.Now is the time left for the warriors, the final adjustment time.

After a while, Viktor Krum also left the tent and stepped onto the field amid the cheers of the students.

The crowd outside was screaming... shouting... and gasping.No matter which school Krum attended, the students were cheering and worrying for him.

The courage and courage of a wizard who has just grown up to face an adult and ferocious fire dragon alone is worthy of everyone's admiration.Regardless of the final result, if they dare to stand in front of the fire dragon, they deserve everyone's applause.

In the tent, Furong paced round and round, muttering French incessantly, which sounded like a spell, and Ada couldn't catch the more detailed content.

Harry was also very nervous. He sat on the stool and listened carefully, not letting go of any sounds coming from outside the tent, because he had to face the dragon later.What happened to Krum outside now may happen to him later.

Harry and Fleur lived like years inside the tent, but Krum outside only took a short time, and he attacked the fire dragon with the Eye Sickness Curse.This was useful, keeping the fire dragon from attacking him, but trampled a lot of real dragon eggs.

Then Fleur came out of the tent too, and now only Ida and Harry were left.

Fleur's trembling body betrayed her when she left the tent, even though her head was held high and her wand was clutched tightly in her hand. She was probably even more nervous than Harry.

Harry was under a lot of pressure, people outside were waiting to see his jokes, and so was Fleur.

With her outstanding appearance, outstanding strength, and her own arrogant personality, Fu Rong has offended many people invisibly, and there are not a few people who want to see her jokes.

"Nervous?" Ada asked softly.

Keeping his eyes on the ground, Harry nodded silently.

"I heard from Ron that you have done a lot of practice. You just need to perform well later. You won't get No.1 anyway." Ada said with a smile, not like saying What is going to happen later, it seems to be stating what has already happened.

"Your way of comforting people is really unique." Harry said with a wry smile.

"I'm not very good at comforting people, but I'm good at beating people up." Ada continued, "Also, you're a big kid with a wry smile."

Ada stood up, walked to the door of the tent, opened a gap to look out, and said, "Fleur Delacour's match is coming to an end."

When the words fell, Ludo Bagman announced the end of the Hibiscus competition, and she successfully got the golden egg.

Fu Rong used a magic to hypnotize the fire dragon, but it seemed that she was not proficient in this kind of magic, and the level of mastery was not high. The fire dragon woke up halfway and burned Fu Rong's clothes.

On the field, Ludo Bagman's voice sounded again, and he shouted loudly: "The next one is Drizzt from Hogwarts!"

Harry looked up suddenly and said, "Come on, Ida."

"Don't worry about it, you should think about yourself." Ada said with a smile, "Since I decided to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, you can only compete for No.2."
