Chapter 400 The First Project

The way time seemed to run was becoming more and more weird, and it seemed as if someone had pressed the accelerator button and ran forward faster. In a blink of an eye, it was November 24th, the day of the competition.

In the past few days, Harry and Ron's relationship has returned to its original form, and the trio has reunited. As young children, Ron and Hermione have been helping Harry practice these days so that Harry can 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, and sometimes had snowball fights with the twins, living a very happy life.

It wasn't until the night before the game that Ada seemed to remember that she was also a warrior and had to face the fire dragon the next day. The long-lost figure of Ada finally came to the library.

On the day of the competition, the students had been surrounded by tension and excitement since the morning, and they were discussing intensely what the first event would be, whether anyone would be injured, and whether anyone would fail to pass the first test.

As business wizards at Hogwarts, Fred and George made a direct handicap.

Betting on Ada will cost you one, because Ada is the person with the highest probability of winning; betting on Viktor Krum will cost you two, because Krum is a world superstar in Quidditch, so there is also a hope of winning; Fleur The odds are the same as Harry's, 5 to 1.

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

In fact, the odds given by the twins to Fleur were well-founded. Ada was idle all day long, but Fred and George were not idle at all. The two brothers often found friends with students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. .

Dealing with the Beauxbatons students was easy. Fred and George only needed to please Héctor. He could talk to Héctor alone for a long time about Fleur.

The twins once again misbehaved. They tricked Hector's affection and obtained first-hand information about Fleur from him.

Durmstrang's students were a little more difficult to deal with, and the twins had no choice but to disguise themselves as Krum's admirers and engage in tricks. Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Fred and George were able to find out some truth.

That's when the odds were set. This was the result of careful consideration by the twins and was not hasty at all.

As soon as the handicap opened, students who had nowhere to express their excitement rushed up one after another. There were many people participating in the event, but the fewest people were betting on Ada to win. Although Ada seemed to be guaranteed to make a profit, everyone seemed to want to make a big deal out of it, so the number of people betting on Furong to win was actually the largest.

If you give it a try, the meteor will turn into a firebolt and you'll have to kill the Weasley twins!

Harry obviously had the same odds as Fleur, but there were also not many people who voted for Harry, only slightly more than Ada. The students at Hogwarts still haven't forgiven Harry for becoming the fourth Warrior.

At noon that day, the school was suspended so that all the students had time to go to the fire dragon's paddock below - of course, the students had no idea what they would see there.

The warriors were also called to the tent on the edge of the field early. Ada, Fleur and Krum were all there, except Harry.

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

Viktor Krum looked gloomier than usual, his limbs were thick, he looked a little mindless, and he was still truly unhappy. Ada really doesn't understand what happened to Krum. She has this look on her face every day. She is so bitter and resentful.

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

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

The first event is the fire dragon. The warriors draw lots to choose the fire dragon they will face. The warriors' task is to pass the fire dragon's guard and get a golden egg.

Just when Ludo Bagman was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere in the tent, the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet walking by was heard outside the tent, and the owners of the feet were talking and laughing excitedly.

Everyone's joys and sorrows are different. Except for Ada, most of the players in the tent would only find it annoying that the students outside were noisy.

Ludo Bagman opened a purple silk bag and handed the bag to Fleur Delacour. He said: "Ladies first."

With a nervous expression, Fleur put her hand tremblingly into the cloth bag and took out a small, lifelike model of a dragon - it was a Welsh Green Dragon, with a number tied around its neck: No. 2.

Fleur and Madame Maxime looked at each other. She had an expression of resignation on her face, as if she had no confidence at all in dealing with a fire dragon.

"Ladies first too." Ludo Bagman handed the bag to Ada again.

Ada put her hand 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 took out was No. 1, Swedish Brachysaurus. Seeing this number, Krum's expression did not change at all. He found a stool to sit down and began to regulate his breathing.

The last remaining fire dragon is the most ferocious of the four fire dragons, the Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon. Harry didn't even have a chance to choose, leaving the youngest person, 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 on the responsibility of commentating on 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 playing field amid the cheers of the students.

The crowd outside was screaming... chanting... and gasping. No matter which school Klum went to, students were cheering for him and worried about him.

The courage and courage of a newly adult wizard facing an adult and ferocious fire dragon alone is worthy of anyone'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, Fleur was pacing around in circles, muttering in French, which sounded like some kind of spell, and Ada didn't hear the more detailed content.

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

Inside the tent, Harry and Fleur spent their days together, but Krum outside only spent a short time attacking the fire dragon with the Eye Spell. This was useful, as the fire dragon had no time to attack him, but it crushed a lot of real dragon eggs.

Then Fleur also walked out of the tent, and now only Ada and Harry were left.

When leaving the tent, although Fleur held her head high and clutched her wand tightly in her hand, her trembling body betrayed her. She was probably more nervous than Harry.

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

With her outstanding appearance, outstanding strength, and her arrogant personality, Furong has offended many people, and there are also many people who want to see her laugh.

"Nervous?" Ada asked softly.

Harry stared at the ground and nodded silently without saying a word.

"I heard Ron say that you have practiced a lot. You just need to perform well later. You won't get first place anyway." Ada said with a smile, not as if she was talking. Wait for something that will happen later, but rather describe something that 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 hitting them." Ada continued, "Also, I'm a kid with a big head and a wry smile."

Ada stood up, walked to the door of the tent, opened a gap and looked outside. She said: "Fleur Delacour's game is about to end."

As soon as the words fell, Ludo Bagman announced that Fleur's game was over and she successfully got the golden egg.

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

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

Harry suddenly raised his head and said, "Come on, Ada."

"Don't worry, just think about yourself." Ada said with a smile, "Since I have decided to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, you can only compete for second place."
