Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

A huge tent was set up beside the paddock outside Hogwarts Castle. Under the guidance of the staff, Mike entered the tent under the golden sunlight.

There were quite a lot of people in the tent. Harry, Fleur, and Krum each occupied a small corner with pale faces. No one spoke to anyone, looking very nervous.

"Merlin! You are here, the audience has already entered the arena!"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Mike heard the sound and looked around, only to see Ludo Bagman in a long trench coat trotting towards him.

"I'll make a long story short. I'll pass this cloth bag to you in turn in a while, and you'll pick out the model of the dragon you're going to face." Ludo Bagman took out a purple silk cloth bag Say, "Oh, I slipped my tongue! But that's okay, I'm sure you guys already know what this project is about. But I'm going to say, your mission is to collect the golden eggs! Get it? So don't try to push yourself .”

Harry swallowed a big mouthful of saliva when he heard the words. Mr. Bagman stared at him when he said the last sentence just now, which made him feel that Mr. Bagman seemed to warn himself alone.

"Okay, Mike, you go first." Bagman handed the bag to Mike,

After all, Bagman opened the bag, and blinked his right eye at Mike at an angle that others could not see.

Mike understood in seconds, this meant that the bag had been tampered with.

Sure enough, Mike took out the bag casually, and what he took out was the small model of the Australian opaleye, and on the neck of the model, there was an even smaller number plate, number 4!

The model is so delicate that it looks exactly like the real one. When it was taken out, it even snarled at Mike!

"Wow! Australian Opaleye! Horrible creature!" Bagman yelled in a strange tone, then continued to hold the bag, and asked the remaining three warriors to select their mission targets in a clockwise direction.

What Fu Rong drew was the Welsh Green Dragon, a fire dragon with a cry comparable to the sounds of nature, and the number plate on its neck was No. 1.

Fu Rong seemed to be resigned to her fate. She forced a smile to Mike who was watching her, and then returned to her original position with a blank expression.

Krum's fire dragon is a Chinese fireball dragon, as the name suggests, this is a dragon that can spew fireballs, and its number plate is number 2.

He was quite calm, which is not surprising, as an international Quidditch superstar, he is someone who has seen big scenes.

However, his slightly trembling legs still betrayed the true emotions in his heart.

The worst performer was Harry.

His dragon is the Hungarian Rhododendron, a ferocious dragon with spikes on its head and tail, and its number plate is number 3.

When the dragon appeared in front of his eyes, Harry was startled first, and then he was stabbed violently by the spikes on the Horntail.

Ever since, Harry, who was not surprised, screamed and threw the delicate model out.

Honestly, it was embarrassing, and Harry blushed.

But at this moment, no one will laugh at him, because everyone will have to face the terrifying monster like the fire dragon soon!

"Okay! The lottery is over, and the official competition is about to begin. I believe you should have seen the number plates on your respective models. This is the order in which you will appear in a while!" Bagman said, "Next I will go to The referee's seat is explaining the game, and when I blow the whistle, Beauxbaton's warrior will be on the field as the number one player, understand?"

Fu Rong still nodded expressionlessly. She looks sick now, which makes people very worried.

But Bagman obviously didn't mean to be sympathetic,

He trotted all the way and left the tent without looking back.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the tent instantly became more dull.

Mike could see that none of his competitors were in the mood to chat, so he found a chair and sat down on his own.

After a while, the whistle came.

Fu Rong's already pale face turned paler in an instant, and she took a deep breath of air, and then let it out again.

After going back and forth several times, he clenched his trembling fists and walked towards another exit of the tent.

Just as she was about to walk out of the tent, Mike suddenly stopped her.

Fu Rong turned around in a daze, and then heard Mike say softly:

"come on!"

Hearing that Furong's originally pale face seemed to be stained with a blush, she forced a smile and replied in a barely audible voice:

"Um!"

After saying that, he turned around resolutely and walked towards the exit.

With the appearance of Furong, cheers and shouts from the audience could be faintly heard outside the tent.

The sound seemed to make Harry, who was already nervous, even more nervous. He slowly moved to Mike's side, his mouth opened and closed but he was speechless for a long time.

"Hello, Mike." Harry finally said, "You look so handsome! Hmm! And the hat is so handsome!"

He was telling the truth. Mike was now wearing a pure black hunting suit, a black leather windbreaker similar to a tuxedo, and Professor Flitwick's lucky three-cornered hat on his head.

This outfit has almost no bonus to body flexibility, but it is really handsome!

Especially when worn on Mike's body, paired with that handsome face that has become somewhat feminine due to the Ravenclaw curse, it has an unparalleled charm.

After that, Harry looked down at the Quidditch protective gear he was wearing, and suddenly felt that he was low.

It can be seen that Harry urgently needs someone who can talk to him to relieve the pressure, so Mike is also ready to comfort him.

However, before he could speak, the cheers of the audience and Bagman's commentary came from outside the tent again.

"Contestant Fu Rong got the dragon egg! She is really outstanding! She even thought of using charm magic to confuse the fire dragon! Although there was a small mistake near the end, it was safe and sound..."

After a long explanation, the whistle sounded again. Krum stood up from the ground, patted his pants, and walked out seemingly indifferently.

Harry's legs began to tremble because he was next.

"Don't worry, you can make it."

Mike patted Harry on the shoulder and said.

Harry bit his lip and hummed without saying a word.

After a while, cheers and whistles came one after another.

Harry nodded at Mike, gritted his teeth and rushed out of the tent.

Finally, Mike was the only one left in the tent.

He was still sitting there with his head lowered, gently stroking the brim of his three-cornered hat.

At the position where he was rubbing, a capital letter f was printed.

These are the English initials of Professor Flitwick's name.

Perhaps because of the relationship instilled in Flitwick's mind, Mike felt that the letter seemed to be slightly hot at the moment!

The whistle sounded again, and a confident smile curled up on the corner of Mike's mouth. The next moment, he got up and walked towards the sunny exit passage!

...

The venue for this competition was the same as the previous duel championship venue. This huge open-air building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum was once again full of guests looking for excitement.

When Mike appeared on the side of the venue facing the sun, the entire duel arena was boiling.

The cheers and applause given to Mike by the audience were far louder than those three warriors before.

This is not surprising, you must know that this is Hogwarts, most of the audience in the stands are Hogwarts students, and Mike is the strongest among them.

Mike, who was bathed in the applause, rubbed his eardrums that were a little swollen by the sound waves, and stroked the f on the brim of his hat again, then raised his head with a smile, and looked to the other side of the arena.

There, there was his opponent this time, an adult Australian opal eye.

This is an extremely beautiful fire dragon, its pearly white scales are shining with colorful splendor under the sunlight!

This is also an extremely powerful fire dragon, its cry is like thunder, its wingspan exceeds ten meters, and its weight exceeds three tons!

The Australian opaleye is a relatively mild-tempered dragon that feeds on sheep and generally does not attack humans.

But today, waves of sound waves sweeping through the auditorium undoubtedly frightened it. It was pacing around restlessly, roaring towards the stands, and behind it was a man-made fire dragon lair. There are several off-white real dragon eggs and a golden golden egg piled inside.

"Friends in the audience! Player Mike..."

Ludo Bagman's voice was transmitted to the ears of everyone in the duel arena through the loudspeaker equipment, but Mike took a deep breath at this moment and opened the closed state of the brain.

Flicking his wrist slightly, the blackthorn wand appeared in Mike's hand.

And the moment the wand appeared, Mike's temperament also changed suddenly, and the original smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an expressionless face.

The cold killing intent began to spread around Mike, and the Australian eggplant seemed to have sensed something, and started to sprint towards Mike.

However, the thick iron chain tied to its feet prevented it from leaving its lair, so it could only growl at Mike at the limit of the chain.

"Friends who have watched Mike's previous duel matches should have an understanding of his fighting style. He is used to using wind speed spells and disillusionment spells to perform ghostly high-speed tactics! This high mobility is in this project It is very advantageous! Oh! Look! Mike has locked on the fire dragon! I dare to swear, the next moment he will bypass the fire dragon's defense like a child, and successfully get the dragon egg!"

The voice of the narrator Bagman still echoed over the duel arena, and many people who heard his narration nodded secretly.

In their view, Mike's speed tactics are indeed very advantageous in the face of this project.

However, Mike did not start charging with the Wind Speed ​​Curse and the Disillusionment Curse at the beginning as they had imagined.

I saw Mike bowed his head again and stroked the brim of his hat.

Then, he opened his legs and walked towards the fire dragon at a slow speed almost like walking!

"Player Mike wants to pull in some distance so that he can get a good shot! Yes! It must be like this!"

Bagman was explaining forcefully, but Mike didn't have any intention of speeding up.

He just walked slowly, walking...

"Merlin's beard, is he crazy? He's about to enter the flame-breathing distance of the fire dragon, why hasn't he accelerated!" Bagman roared, "I can't wait! Security guard! Security guard! Go stop him !"

The security officers who received the order quickly attacked and flew towards the arena.

However, it was too late, Mike had already entered the flame-breathing range of the fire dragon.

"Roar!"

With a thunderous roar, a string of huge scarlet flames spewed out from the big mouth of Opaleye Australia, and flew towards Mike in a black hunting suit with the terrifying howl brought by the flame burning air!

The audience screamed, and Dumbledore on the referee's seat stood up abruptly, raising his wand and about to cast a spell.

However, the next moment, something unexpected happened!

Facing the overwhelming flames, Mike raised his wand calmly and said:

"The flames are blazing."

"Boom!~"

There was a deafening explosion, and a group of nearly transparent flames spewed out from the tip of the blackthorn wand, rushing towards the fire dragon's breath like a cloud of fire!

One is scarlet and the other is almost transparent.

The two flames collided in an instant.

A heat wave swept across the entire duel arena, and at the center where the two flames collided, the terrifying heat scorched the surrounding air and distorted it!

In the next instant, the light-colored flame directly engulfed the fire dragon's breath, and the scarlet flame was like ice and snow meeting magma, and it began to melt at an almost terrifying speed!

The form is reversed instantly!

On the highest referee's seat, Dumbledore put down his wand and sat down again with a smile.

But there was a surprising scene in the auditorium below him.

The original cheers and shouts all disappeared, and the duel field, which was bustling before, is now as quiet as a library!

"Mei...Merlin's beard, Tangley challenged him, and he even used a stronger flame to fight back against the fire dragon."

Bagman continued to explain the game in a voice that was almost dreamlike. Everything Mike did just shattered his world view.

And his voice was like a switch, instantly restarting the sluggish audience in the stands.

The mountain roar sounded like a tsunami again.

People were crazily shouting Mike's name, shouting the name of the man who created miracles!

In the beginning, the shouts were a little messy.

But gradually, the voice began to become uniform!

This scene was undoubtedly exciting, and even Krum, who was enjoying tea on the Quidditch field, had never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

But Mike on the field was unmoved.

He held his wand just like that, maintaining the output of translucent flames.

At the same time, he once again opened his legs and walked towards the fire dragon.

speed

Still so slow!
