A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 392: Golden Snitch
Chapter 394 The Golden Snitch
A sharp cry sounded from the golden flames, and a beautiful firebird poked its head out, with a cluster of golden flames burning on its forehead, and its long beak reflected the dazzling light.
"Harry!"
Hermione shouted, with her wand and left hand in front of her, trying her best to control her magic—the fire dragons in classroom seven are fake, but their magic is real, and they must be carefully controlled.
They have been taught this before.
Harry, who was still dealing with the fire dragon, immediately ran away far away. The bright light ball that Ron had prepared for a long time shot out a straight beam of light, which obliquely hit the fire dragon's wings, and was immediately scattered by the smooth scales into finer light to brighten the dark surroundings.
The spell is crooked!
Ron hurriedly adjusted the angle, and this time finally let the beam of light explode on the fire dragon's face. The bright light was not dazzling, but it still blocked most of its sight. This caused the Fire Dragon's movements to pause for a short time. It shook its head uneasily, and its two strong and powerful claws clung to the brown rock, like a dagger, wiping out a series of sparks.
Firebird covered a distance of hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, and its long, sharp beak aimed at the abdomen of the fire dragon. The scales there were cracked by external force at some point—
"Chi!"
Blood splattered.
The fire dragon let out a painful roar, and slapped the fire bird to pieces, turning it into pure flames and staining its body. Panting heavily, it spewed out a dazzling blue flame. The grass and trees it passed were instantly reduced to ashes, and the rocks cracked open, drowning the three of Harry in an instant.
After everything fell silent, Harry licked his dry lips, the scene just now remained in his green eyes. Hermione and Ron came over with pale faces, and looked at the three of Cedric who stood aside with their mouths open.
It was already afternoon, and Felix brought them to classroom No. 7, intending to let them experience the power of the fire dragon for the 'first time'.
It turned out that Cedric and his group of warriors were taken aback. Their previous performance was not perfect, but they basically showed their own characteristics, including Cedric's weather magic, Roger Davies' magic plants, and Collins' disillusionment spells and masterful silent spellcasting.
And Harry’s group...
It is difficult to describe in proper language. They are very familiar with the attacking methods of fire dragons, and many reactions are done subconsciously. This level of understanding can no longer be learned from books or listening to stories. It must be practiced with real knives and guns and memorized with the body.
This is also the way to train dragon tamers. Every dragon trainer will leave some scars on his body during the first one or two years of working, and some will deliberately keep one or two scars as a testimony of their courage.
"It still doesn't work... Flame is inherently inferior to fire dragons. Even Hermione's ancient magic can't penetrate the thick dragon skin..." Harry panted slightly.
"Only the most powerful spell can do it. In fact, Sirius's suggestion is good, use the eye disease spell, but it requires excellent dynamic vision and precise control. Of the three of us, only Harry can do it, But you haven't mastered the spell yet." Hermione said with her chest rising and falling, trying to maintain her calm.
Ron was so tired that he sat on the ground, "Fortunately, I met a Swedish short-nosed dragon. If I encounter a Ukrainian iron belly, or a Hungarian hornet..." He gave Cedric and the others a meaningful look. It was unexpected to see their unnatural expressions.
His mood improved a lot. Although there was still an expression of shock on his face, he began to introduce it enthusiastically: "Iron Belly of Ukraine is the largest, with a height of sixty or seventy feet. We have also encountered one with a height of seventy feet. It only needs to rush over and extend a Feet... Crack! You are finished, of course you will only see gray shadows zooming in front of your eyes..."
"There is also the Hungarian Horntail, which is also a big guy. It's okay that it breathes fire at you. Once I successfully released the Iron Armor Curse, and then I saw a long black tail covered with spikes. You You will find that your spell is broken like an eggshell..."
"The breath of the Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon is poisonous, and its speed is extremely fast. It is difficult for spells to hit it..."
"Okay," Felix said helplessly, interrupting Ron who seemed to be complaining but was actually showing off, and he looked at them with some surprise: "You guys have completed part of the work ahead of time, even though there are still some tactical problems. Problem, but I have obviously adapted to the fire dragon's attack rhythm, and I won't be too scared to say a spell... However, I have to restrict you to prevent you from forming a terrible inertia."
"The more times you fail, the more you will strengthen a concept in your heart, that is, everything in classroom 7 is fake, and you may confuse this fake courage. The audience, the judges, or the venue, everything will remind you what is true. At that time, you will find that your courage is like a beautiful soap bubble, which bursts with a poke..."
Harry opened his mouth, wanting to argue a few words. But I also feel that this makes sense. After experiencing dozens of various "death methods", they seem to really not care about being injured, and participating in the competition with this mentality may perform better, but the bigger May be habitually making reckless moves.
For example, he himself tried to use completely ineffective spells to buy time for Hermione, but he was slapped to death.
"Next, we will carry out targeted training, each of you has a huge room for improvement... What I have to do is to help you find what you are best at, because you will soon find that there is not enough time Use."
……
Coming out of classroom seven, Harry and the others put on thick cloaks, walked out of the castle, and followed the path to Hagrid.
In the pumpkin patch behind Hagrid's hut, a **** dog was running wild, Harry, Ron and Hermione grinned.
When seeing them, the **** dog ran over and turned into a man in front of them. Sirius' hair was cut short and neat, and his cheeks were whitened, which made him look younger.
"Sirius——" Harry hugged him, "You don't have to come here every day."
Sirius bared his teeth, "This is my responsibility, I'm bored!"
"Remus suggested that you find a job, and you should return to your normal life." Harry said, but his face could not restrain a smile.
Sirius scratched his chin casually, a little absent-minded. "Don't worry about that kind of thing, I'm always not interested... let's not talk about it, how about it, is Felix startled?"
In the past few days, he has been instructing the three of them, including how to cooperate, but he is not a public official of Hogwarts, so he cannot enter the castle, and Dumbledore turned a blind eye to wandering around Hagrid's hut The result of one eye.
Harry recounted the matter helplessly, Sirius rubbed his chin and sat on a huge pumpkin, Hagrid's hound Fang sniffed at his shoes and wagged his tail at him.
"Go, go, Yaya!" He skillfully threw a piece of dog biscuit to Yaya, and thought about it seriously, "He is right, you may indeed confuse truth and falsehood, but our goal has also been achieved— ——You have personally experienced the various attack methods of the fire dragon, which is very important!"
He said with some schadenfreude: "I saw the warriors of Waggadu running around in the Forbidden Forest, maybe I have a headache."
As the host, the Hogwarts warriors have indeed taken advantage of it, which is specifically reflected in the support of huge school resources. Although Hogwarts has opened the library and some resources to other schools, the most The key classroom No. 7 is missing.
"But don't be complacent. I saw new faces appearing in those schools. They should be professors from their schools, who came to give special training to the warriors."
Sirius quickly brushes off the subject.
"So, let's start today's practice, eye disease spell, extinguishing spell, softening spell, if we have time, we can also try disillusionment spell and transfiguration, but it may be too difficult for you, and I don't know Good at transforming..."
Harry said hesitantly: "I think the effect of the Eye Sickness Curse is not well imagined. The heads of the fire dragons we saw are mostly surrounded by thick scales, and there are protruding bones and spikes. It is difficult for us to hit them. "
Ron said imaginatively: "What do you think of the bat spell? I heard Ginny say that this spell can turn boogers into bats. Imagine a group of bats flying out of the dragon's nose." , propped its nose up..."
Sirius coughed twice, "It's a good idea, but no one has tried it. The Eye Disease Curse is a tried and tested spell after all."
He looked at the three of them: "About the accuracy of spells, there is actually only one solution, which is a lot of practice." He saw the expressions of the three of them collapsed, and continued: "Of course, a good method will get twice the result with half the effort. You need some handy tools."
"Have you brought it, Harry?" he asked.
Harry took out the Snitch from his pocket in doubt. Last night, Sirius asked him to bring the Snitch over through the two-way mirror. He never understood the reason. When he asked in the mirror, he didn’t say anything. .
Sirius brushed the wings of the Golden Snitch~IndoMTL.com~ A row of alchemy symbols lit up on the golden wings, "The gift I give you has two hidden functions, one of which is that its interior is The Stretching Mantra has been expanded, it can hold things, and what's more, it has the function of 'following' itself."
"Follow function?" Harry asked puzzled.
"That's right, it will fly around you within a certain range. This range can be adjusted. I originally wanted it to help you practice Quidditch, but you don't seem to have noticed."
Harry was a little ashamed, and he explained in a low voice: "I was afraid it would get lost, so I didn't take it outside."
Sirius didn't bother with this little problem: "In addition to practicing Quidditch, it can also practice the accuracy of your spells--next, I will let it fly around you at a height of twenty to fifty feet, you guys You need to hit it with an eye disease spell, of course, you don’t know this spell yet, it doesn’t matter! You can try other spells first!”
Harry and the others got excited, and Hermione asked with some concern, "Aren't we going to break it?"
"No," Sirius said indifferently: "It has a powerful protective magic cast on it. I told Felix at the time that this gift will be passed on to Harry's children."
Harry blushed and rolled his eyes angrily.
