Chapter 290 I Just Want to Protect a Phoenix, What's Wrong with Me?

"Uh-huh?!"

Fleur was nodding her head constantly, when she heard Harry's last words, she was suddenly taken aback.

Is there something wrong with this logic?

I seem to be... just because I can't beat the fire dragons and I don't know how to deal with them, so I'm worrying here, right?

If I can kill the fire dragon, why am I so nervous now?

"Just kidding." Harry smirked and stuck out his tongue, "Killing the fire dragon is definitely the worst choice."

"After all, the fire dragon was rented by the Ministry of Magic from the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve. If we kill the fire dragon casually, it will definitely bring a lot of economic losses to the Ministry of Magic."

"The Ministry of Magic will not allow this to happen. Although the rules do not say, and there is no reason for us to lose money, the score will definitely be lowered by then."

Listening to Harry's words, Fleur's expression became more and more wrong, and Hermione couldn't help but rubbed her forehead.

This reason for not killing the fire dragon... is really outrageous!

Harley is still quickly analyzing Fire Dragon's weaknesses: "There is only one core idea for the competition, and research on weaknesses."

"The fire dragon is huge, but its eyes and nasal cavity are relatively fragile, which can be regarded as the two major weaknesses of the fire dragon's body."

"The eyelids of the fire dragon are different from other parts of the dragon's skin. They don't have much magic resistance. Even if they close their eyes and receive a spell, it will be very uncomfortable."

"And the nasal cavity of fire dragons is also their major weakness, but to be precise, it should be said that the combination of nasal cavity and mouth is a weakness."

"If you use magic to interfere with these two parts of the fire dragon, it is very likely that the fire dragon will not be able to breathe out the dragon's breath."

"And most importantly, at this time, the fire dragon's breath has been produced,"

Hermione flipped through the heavy book in her hand, followed Harry's words,

"So too much dragon's breath accumulates in the fire dragon's mouth, which is likely to make its own magic out of control, causing certain harm and interference to the fire dragon."

"In addition, there is the fire dragon's resistance to spirit-type magic," Harry once again put forward a new point of view,

"Because they are in a state of almost no natural enemies in nature, the fire dragons are not focused enough, and they are more likely to be attracted by large or dynamic creatures."

"There are two pieces of evidence for this. One piece of evidence is that when a wizard accidentally encountered a ferocious wild fire dragon in the wild, he transformed the stone next to him into a big dog with the transformation technique."

"According to the sorcerer's narration, the fire dragon immediately chose to chase the big running dog, ignoring himself, so that he could save his life."

"I have also seen a case where someone used mental hypnosis magic to force the fire dragon into a deep sleep..."

Harley and Hermione quickly analyzed a set of plans to deal with the fire dragon.

Fu Rong was dumbfounded, she didn't have any clue yet, but others have already figured out how to solve it!

Is he a seventh-grade student, or are the two little witches in front of him seventh-grade students?

And a lot of the knowledge they talked about, I have never been exposed to.

Is this genius? Love love love.

…………

In less than a morning, the three of Harry worked out several sets of the most feasible and detailed plans.

It includes not only the situation where a single person faces a fire dragon, but also the situation where six warriors enter the field at the same time and face six or seven fire dragons.

The latter is obviously much more difficult than the former. After all, during the game, there may be interference from the fire dragons that other warriors need to fight or the magic released by other warriors themselves.

And Harry believes that the possibility of this situation is very high.

Charlie also said last night that to avoid the waste of fire dragons as much as possible, the best solution is to let all fire dragons and warriors appear on the stage at the same time.

However, Harley estimated that when he came to the competition, he would not use a set of plans.

After all, just relying on pure magical power and the power of Sequence Four is enough to crush him.

For Harley, these plans can only be options in an emergency.

"Okay, that's all there should be."

After putting down the quill, Harry looked at the parchment full of writing in front of him,

"There are less than three weeks to prepare, just take a day to make the fire-resistant potion and healing potion."

"In the remaining time, we can do a little actual combat practice."

"Actual practice?"

"Well, that's right." Harry nodded, "After calculating the time, Hedwig should have delivered the letter."

"The Godfather will take a little time, but considering the help of Professor Dumbledore... Then it will take about three days, or a week at the latest, and everything should be in place."

"Then it's decided, let's brew the potions we need today."

…………

During the few days of waiting, in addition to brewing potions, Furong also practiced a lot of magic that might be used.

As for the usual courses, Furong only went to Transfiguration, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts courses.

Potions, herbalism, and other elective courses that both Hogwarts and Beauxbatons had, Fleur chose to give up.

Harley was still participating in various courses normally, and did not use the Warriors' right to apply to the professor and dean before the game not to attend classes.

Even the Transfiguration Club and Charms Club, as well as Professor Snape's confinement and Professor Babling's private lessons, Harley was not absent.

In addition, Halle also dedicated several afternoons to consult with Professor Sprout.

Regarding the unique magic of several other magic schools, the magic of the magic institute is too biased towards the oriental system, and there is no record in the Hogwarts library at all.

And considering that there are no related books in Lihen Bookstore, and nothing can be judged from the name alone, so Harley didn't waste time on the shikigami magic mastered by magic.

As for the magic that other magic schools are good at, Harley herself has also been involved, and her level is even much better than the warriors in other magic schools.

Even the unique cheats that Fleur is going to use to subdue the fire dragon, Harley believes that his level is far better than hers.

Harry dared to pat his chest to assure that as long as he wanted to, it didn't matter whether it was for humans or magical animals, regardless of gender and orientation, he could easily achieve magical effects.

Only Castrobuscher's plant magic is very mysterious, but it seems that clues can be found.

After flipping through the books in the restricted section, but didn't find much relevant information, Harry chose to ask Professor Sprout for advice.

After all, Professor Sprout has worked in the field of herbal medicine for so many years, so he must have his own unique understanding.

And Professor Sprout is indeed a master in the field of herbalism. He usually doesn't look like a mountain, but he is very proficient in plant-related magic.

After hearing that Harley was preparing for the Six-wild Tournament, Professor Spratt immediately showed a lot of magic without reservation.

In addition to those magics developed purely to benefit the development of herbs, such as spells for weeding and curing diseases for herbs, Professor Sprout also showed Harry a variety of unique magics for manipulating plants to fight.

Under the magical control of Professor Sprout, even the most common magical plant devil's net, which can be dealt with by first-year wizards, has undergone changes.

They seem to possess the wisdom of human beings in an instant, and their size has become larger, and they are no longer afraid of light and flames.

As for those dangerous plants learned in the upper grades, such as bubble pods, poison tentacles and fang geraniums, they also become more dangerous in the hands of Professor Sprout.

For example, the shiny beans spit out by the bubble pods are harmless, but they will immediately take root and germinate when they come into contact with solid objects, and bloom quickly.

However, after being strengthened by Professor Sprout's magic, these beans produced extremely strong parasitic properties, which could directly reside on solid objects they touched, and severely weaken the host from all aspects.

Professor Sprout even demonstrated a special magic, allowing a broken branch of the Whomping Willow to instantly drain the nutrients contained in the surrounding ground and become a giant Whomping Willow with luxuriant branches.

Every whip of the Whomping Willow can shatter the slate that has been strengthened by reinforcement magic, which is several times more powerful than the Whomping Willow in Hogwarts.

Harley also had the experience of fighting the cultivator pathway Sequence 5 druids in the Church of the Mother of the Earth. He had seen the scene where the druids manipulated the plants to fight, and experienced the power of these extraordinary abilities.

But Harry felt that Professor Spratt was probably better than these druids in terms of comprehensiveness and combat effectiveness.

But Professor Sprout herself was not particularly satisfied. She told Harry that there used to be more powerful plant magic in Hogwarts.

According to Professor Spratt, there was a mysterious and powerful plant called "Oriental biting cabbage" at that time.

Using this kind of plant with a unique magic can even produce a power stronger than the death curse!

It's a pity that I didn't know what happened at the time, and this magic didn't stay.

In the next few days, Professor Spratt gave Harry unreserved advice and taught her various knowledge.

And Harry also lived up to Professor Sprout's hard work, and spent four days of free time learning these magics.

But she has only just learned it, and she needs a lot of practice if she wants to have a deeper understanding of these magics.

Of course, for Harley, this was enough, after all, she just wanted to learn about Castro Bushe's fighting methods.

Moreover, there are more important things waiting for Harry.

Here comes Sirius.

…………

Just two weeks before the game, Sirius appeared in Professor Dumbledore's office, accompanied by an old man.

When Harry received a note from Professor Dumbledore and came to the principal's office, the two old men were laughing and chatting.

And Fox was also standing on the table in front of the old man, enjoying a handful of fresh herbs.

Meanwhile, Sirius drank black tea, listened to the old people's speeches, and stared at his great-grandfather by the way.

Although it was the first time they met in reality, Harley quickly remembered the identity of the old man based on the photos in the newspaper——

Newt Scamander, an internationally acclaimed expert on Fantastic Beasts, wrote Hogwarts' former Conservation of Fantastic Beasts textbook, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

But obviously, although this old man is well-known in the magic world all over the world, he is not popular.

Because when Harry entered the principal's office, the first sentence he heard was a question from Professor Dumbledore's soul:

"So... you're smuggled into England again this time, right, Newt?"

The old headmasters on the wall all closed their eyes and suppressed the smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Those who couldn't bear it chose to cover their mouths, or even bury their heads in their clothes.

After all, everyone is a professional principal and has received professional training. Faced with this situation, you must not laugh unless you can't help it.

But old man Newt didn't show any embarrassment on his face, he even nodded with a gloomy look on his face:

"Yeah, it's really hateful! I obviously just want to go back to England, to my dear hometown!"

"Those bastards from the British Ministry of Magic! They don't want me back!"

"It's time for you to reflect on yourself, Newt!"

An old headmaster from Hufflepuff couldn't stand it any longer.

"Think of the cities you've been to! Think of poor New York and Paris!"

"Why do you think they won't let you go? You're an embarrassment to the Hufflepuffs!"

"Cough, cough, cough." Professor Dumbledore coughed several times suddenly, obviously remembering something bad.

It just so happened that he noticed Harry at the door, with a surprise look on his face that didn't seem fake:

"Ah, Harry! You're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a while!"

Fox also uttered a cry of excitement, and the herbs in front of him were no longer fragrant, but plunged headlong into Harry's arms.

After greeting Headmaster Dumbledore and rubbing his hair by Sirius who was so excited to see the goddaughter, Harry also bowed slightly to Newt:

"Mr. Scamander, hello. First time meeting, my name is Harry Potter. You can just call me Harry."

"Hello, Harry."

Newt raised his hand kindly, as if he was a group of old men lying on the sun loungers at the gate of the Muggle community every day.

If there is one thing that is different about him from those old men, it is that he does not hold a fan and a teacup in his hand, but tightly holds an unremarkable black suitcase.

"It seems that Fox likes you very much. This is really uncommon, after all, the phoenixes are too vigilant. Even Fox was wary when he saw me for the first time, as if I was going to arrest her. "

"These characteristics have prevented me from raising a phoenix...I mean, effectively protecting a phoenix."

Newt sighed with emotion, and at the same time sighed harmlessly.

Fox in Harry's arms suddenly raised his head and let out a long series of rapid and sharp chirps.

"Pfft!" Professor Dumbledore laughed unabashedly,

"Newt, do you know? Fox called you a liar just now, saying that you are shamelessly weaving lies."

"Ahem, ahem... I'm a magizoologist, so it's fine if I want to protect the phoenix."

Newt looked a little embarrassed,

"I swear to you, Fox, I really just want to help you find a partner, study the reproduction of phoenixes, and let your race flourish."

"I just made a mistake that any magizoologist would make!"
