Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"Please welcome our Hogwarts champion, Dudley Dursley."

Chapter 288 He rode a dragon! He rode a dragon!

As Bagman finished speaking, there was a very brief silence among the audience, and then a thunderous debate broke out.

What does it mean to complete a challenge independently?

That’s four fire dragons!

Except for the Welsh Green Dragon, the remaining three can strictly speaking be considered fighting dragons.

A normal adult wizard would flee even if he encountered one alone, but an underage wizard facing four at the same time? Even if he was the best student, he couldn't do it.

Dudley's action of challenging four dragons at once caused an uproar.

Even if the death rate in the Triwizard Tournament is high, it doesn't mean that they have to watch a little wizard die. They are here for the thrill, not to watch bloody massacres.

Are they going to let them watch a little wizard being eaten by four fire dragons?

The audience felt that the plot was too outrageous and condemned the Ministry of Magic's actions.

Seeing that public opinion was intensifying and the audience was becoming more and more excited, Bagman quickly added.

"Of course, our warrior Dursley, if he feels that he cannot cope with the situation, he only needs to loudly announce his abstention and a professional dragon trainer will rescue him immediately."

After much persuasion, the audience's emotions were calmed down.

Now he just hoped that the group of wizards who called themselves Romanian dragon tamers could be more reliable.

"His mission is to get the golden eggs from four dragons. There is no time limit until he wins or loses!"

Even as he was speaking, Dudley came out of the tent.

Deafening cheers erupted from the audience. All the wizards present, known and unknown, were staring at Dudley, the Hogwarts warrior who was going to challenge four fire dragons alone.

The competition venue is located in a rocky valley-like place with obvious signs of magical processing. The surrounding walls are towering into the clouds, and the audience seats are on top of these walls. Four fire dragons are located in the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions of the competition venue.

After all, except for the Welsh Green Dragon, the other three are all brave and aggressive. If they are put together, they will start fighting on their own without Dudley having to do anything. The Ministry of Magic does not have the ability to make four fire dragons of different attributes stay together peacefully.

"Which dragon do you think he will choose?"

"Shh, don't talk, he's moving!"

Glancing at the positions of the four dragons, Dudley moved slowly under the gaze of countless eyes.

The first target - the Welsh Green Dragon!

This decision was not too unexpected, as everyone knew that the Welsh Green Dragon was the most docile of the four fire dragons.

The Welsh green dragon lying on the ground held its head high, looking at Dudley with a vigilant expression. It did not actively attack, even though Dudley was already within its reach. In order to ensure that the dragons would not attack the audience, the Ministry of Magic tied a thick iron chain around their necks.

People have the impression that they don't like to cause trouble and don't attack people.

Of course, this is not absolute. For example, the Ilfracombe incident recorded in the book Fantastic Beasts is the most famous green dragon attack on humans in the 19th century. A naughty Welsh green dragon attacked a group of sunbathers in Ilfracombe, Devon, England.

Less than three meters away from the Welsh Green Dragon, Dudley stopped and still did not move, nor did he take out his wand.

"What is he going to do?"

This distance was already very dangerous, and no one could guarantee whether the Welsh Green Dragon would suddenly breathe its dragon's breath at him.

Although the flames spewed out by the fire dragon are not as dangerous as the fierce fire, they are not comparable to ordinary fire. The flames of some dragons are even poisonous.

At this moment the audience held their breath, waiting for Dudley's next move, waiting for the Welsh Green Dragon's reaction.

What magic can be used to fight a dragon?

Dudley's next behavior is completely unexpected to the audience.

"Wait. He's talking?"

"What did he say?"

"It's too far to hear clearly."

"He's communicating with the Welsh Green Dragon?"

"What a joke! Although fire dragons are more intelligent than ordinary beasts and can understand some human language, there is no way to communicate with them. Otherwise, there would be no profession like dragon tamer."

The reason why dragons are 5X level creatures is because they are extremely aggressive towards humans, and at the same time they are very powerful. In their diet, humans are on the same level as other livestock.

"If you had a ham standing in front of you and asked you to do his bidding, what would you do?"

Maybe he ignores it when he is full, and eats it in one bite when he is hungry.

However, the next scene made him shut up. The Welsh green dragon roared at Dudley a few times, and then actually lowered its emerald green head towards Ham, not Dudley.

What's happening here?

The brains of the audience who have some knowledge of dragons can no longer keep up.

The dragon bows to humans?

This is only possible if the dragon is tamed by a wizard with great magical powers.

Not to mention that this skill has been lost, what did Dursley just do? He just said a few words to the Welsh green dragon, and didn't even take out his wand. Is that some secret skill? Or is it wandless casting?

While the audience was confused, Dudley made a new move.

"Oh my god, he took the shackles off the green dragon's neck!"

Yes, Dudley walked straight to the Welsh green dragon without worrying that the other party would attack him halfway. He even broke the chain tied to the green dragon's neck and removed the shackles on its neck.

"Roar!" The Welsh Green Dragon, whose neck felt much more relaxed, shook its head happily a few times, let out a joyful roar, and raised its head to spurt out a stream of flame mixed with traces of fluorescent green from between its thin upper and lower jaws.

This action undoubtedly caused the audience to scream in surprise.

Compared to the rough roar of the Charizard, the roar of the Welsh Green Dragon is surprisingly beautiful.

Dudley gently stroked the Welsh Green Dragon's neck, and the dragon squinted its eyes in enjoyment.

Then he made another amazing move and mounted the body of the Welsh Green Dragon.

"He's riding a dragon! He's riding a dragon!"

Some of the audience exclaimed excitedly, as if the one riding the dragon was him.

Then, the Welsh Green Dragon spread his huge bat-like wings, flapped his wings a few times and was about to soar into the sky, and then his body paused, still remaining in the same place.

The Welsh Green Dragon tried several times but still failed to fly. It turned its snake-like neck and looked at Dudley pitifully.

"."

Looking at the pair of pitiful dragon eyes, Dudley sighed deeply and silently climbed down from the Welsh Green Dragon.

"What's going on? It seems that the Welsh Green Dragon can't carry the Dursleys to fly."

"I remember that the Welsh Green Dragon can lift objects weighing hundreds of kilograms into the air, right?"

"Perhaps the Ministry of Magic has kept this Welsh green dragon locked up for too long, causing it to be temporarily unable to fly."

"Makes sense."

Chapter 289 Dragon Language! It's the legendary Dragon Language!

In the Triwizard Tournament tent, listening to the loud cheers from outside, the staff handed a newly prepared bag containing 200:1 scaled-down models of four dragons to Harry and the others. The previous four dragon models were taken away by Dudley.

They have to make the lottery allocation in advance so that when Dudley fails, they can take over directly.

When it was Harry's turn to draw lots, he waved his hand at the staff and said, "No need to draw lots. It's meaningless."

With his understanding of Brother D, he didn’t have to worry about facing these four dragons later.

Brother D never does anything without confidence. If he says he can deal with four dragons, then he can definitely do it.

It's just that Harry trusts Dudley, but no one else does.

"There's no way he can succeed. You'd better be prepared." Furong said. Her complexion looked much better now, and a little color had returned to her pale lips.

Harry glanced at her calmly without finishing his words or responding to her.

She didn't like Dudley, and he didn't like her either.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Having been turned down, Furong ignored Harry and went to the staff to draw lots.

When she spread out the order she had drawn, her originally furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

"Looks like I'm lucky."

She drew the Welsh Green Dragon, the one she was most confident of dealing with, and Viktor drew the Fireball Dragon.

Meanwhile, at the competition venue, both dragons were following Dudley.

"How did he do that? It's incredible."

After defeating the Welsh Green Dragon, Dudley used the same method to "convince" the Fireball Dragon.

The Fireball Dragon's temper is naturally much hotter than the Green Dragon, but it is much better than the other two fire dragons. It can tolerate its compatriots and is even willing to share a territory with one or two other fire dragons.

This would be unthinkable for other dragons.

"I know how he did it!"

Bagman, who was in charge of the commentary, suddenly spoke loudly, his voice spreading throughout the venue through the magic loudspeaker. Attracted by the content of his words, the audience all looked at him.

Not only the audience, but also several other judges looked at him.

He looked around mysteriously, then lowered his voice and whispered a word.

"Dragon language!"

He spoke loudly with an excited look on his face, as if he had discovered a huge secret.

"It's dragon language! I've observed him for a long time, especially when he was talking to the two dragons. Haha, there's one thing I didn't tell you, I can actually read lips. Mr. Dursley wasn't communicating with the two dragons in our language, but in another language."

"The only way to communicate with a fire dragon is through the legendary dragon language!"

The whole audience was shocked when these words were spoken, but upon closer thought, it made sense. No matter what methods of coercion or inducement were used, it was still too unbelievable that two fire dragons could be "persuaded" in succession in a very short period of time.

If it is dragon language, it would be much easier to understand. Legend has it that dragon language has a unique charm that will make fire dragons regard wizards who use dragon language as their own kind, which can greatly gain the favor of fire dragons.

It can be said that every wizard who can speak dragon language is a top dragon tamer.

You see, Dumbledore has a very high talent for languages. He knows the languages ​​of many sub-humans and magical creatures, such as Mermaid and Goblin (mermen are classified as magical creatures). It is not surprising that his favorite student knows Dragon language.

Shit!

Dragon language had been lost long ago, and had been lost for many, many years. The records of dragon language in the history of magic were all from thousands of years ago. Only wizards with extremely high language talents could master this language.

It’s one thing to have great talent, but the important thing is that it has been lost!

"Only Dragon Language can explain it."

Just as Bagman said, only if Dudley knew dragon language could everything go smoothly. Otherwise, how could he make the green dragon and the fireball dragon willing to follow him?

The warriors of Hogwarts have mastered the dragon language that has been lost for countless years. If this news were published, it would surely shock the entire wizarding world.

The audience was filled with excitement. Not only could they see a wizard who could speak dragon language, but they could also see one man fighting four fire dragons alone. The ticket was worth it!

The expressions of the other judges on the judges' panel were also different. Lucius looked calm, Ms. Maxime was stunned, and Dumbledore was calm.

Karkaroff glanced at Dumbledore with his eyes slanted, and at this moment he finally understood.

'Dumbledore, this is why you voted in favor instead of against. It turns out that you know the dragon language, which is really hidden deep. Giving up one Harry Potter can guarantee the score of another warrior. In this way, even if you lose the next game, you can maximize the probability of winning.'

'As expected of you. '

As if he noticed the other person's gaze, Dumbledore turned his head and gave Karkaroff a standard smile.

Karkaroff did not respond to Dumbledore, but turned his head back with a cold face and cast a cold and vicious look at Dudley in the center of the arena.

"Perhaps you can use the same method on the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon, but that Hungarian Horntail is not a person you can communicate with."

The Hungarian Horntail has a very violent personality.

It is impossible to convince it with just a few words, even if you use Dragon Language.

Just as Karkaroff expected, Dudley encountered some trouble with the Swedish short-nosed dragon (also known as the blue dragon). The Swedish short-nosed dragon rarely came into contact with humans and was very wary when it saw Dudley. Even though Dudley tried his best to communicate with it, he was still sprayed with a blue flame.
