Chapter 172 Ventilation

Time turned to the next morning.

"Harry, are you free?"

"Oh! Yunkai! I'm looking for you!"

After the ancient magic class, before lunch.

Lu Yunkai stopped Harry at the door of the classroom.

And it seemed that Harry was waiting for Lu Yunkai.

"Then we'll go first."

Daphne, who was following Lu Yunkai, smiled at him considerately, ran two steps and left with Millicent.

As for Harry's side...

No one.

Although Hermione sympathized with Harry's experience, she seemed to choose to get closer to Ron.

Alas...

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding. They didn't speak, but walked out of the classroom together, then walked around a corridor and came to an empty corner of the castle.

"Dragon."

"It's a dragon."

The two said a word almost in unison.

Then, they were all stunned.

They laughed together.

"That's right, how could you not know." Harry's face was slightly smiling.

"How did you know?" Lu Yunkai was very surprised. According to Chris, the dragons had only been in the Forbidden Forest for two days, and even it just knew that these dragons were brought here for the Triwizard Tournament.

You know, Chris is now the tyrant of the Forbidden Forest! It's not strange that it knows what happened in the Forbidden Forest, but it's strange that Harry knows it.

"Hagrid. He took me to see it last night... and Madame Maxime." Harry's expression was a bit complicated when he talked about this.

"Madame Maxime?? What did Hagrid take her to... Damn!! Could it be that he!!" Lu Yunkai was shocked.

"I think so too." Lu Yunkai was actually quite familiar with the teasing smile on Harry's face, but it disappeared soon, "But there is one thing, do you know? This time these dragons... were brought by Ron's brother from Romania."

"I don't know about this... Wait a minute! Ron knows about this?" Lu Yunkai instantly understood why Harry couldn't laugh.

Not only Harry, but even Lu Yunkai couldn't laugh.

Although his relationship with Ron can't be said to be very good, it's not bad, right?

He learned that his brother brought such a dangerous thing as a dragon, but he didn't tell Harry and Lu Yunkai...

Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth.

"I scolded him this morning." Harry saw Lu Yunkai's expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was thanking Lu Yunkai for "supporting" him.

"Good scolding!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, "So what about Hermione? Is she still on his side?"

"...Hermione may not know yet." Harry shook his head.

"...Forget it, let's find a way ourselves." Lu Yunkai sighed, "By the way, since you know it's a dragon, what can you do?"

"No." Harry shook his head quickly, "I...I'm stupid now."

In fact, you are not that smart even when you don't have a dragon. Lu Yunkai silently complained in his heart.

"We can only think about what we are good at."

"Good at? I'm not like you. Potions are so powerful. I...I don't have anything good." Harry thought about it and continued to shake his head.

"...Who said that? You have something I can't compare to!"

"No way! Don't make me laugh..."

"Flying!"

"...But this isn't Quidditch. And you can't just use wands!"

"...I don't just have a wand, but I also plan to use potions to deal with dragons." Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly, "Didn't we learn it last year..."

"...Flying spell? Oh!! That's right!" Harry finally remembered, "But even if I have a broom, I can't beat a dragon!"

"The Ministry of Magic has finally got a few dragons from Romania. Do you think they want us to kill them for fun?" Lu Yunkai told him what he had guessed the night before, "Most likely they want us to snatch something from the dragons. It should be okay for you to snatch it on a broom?"

"That's right... But Yunkai, you're really amazing. You can actually think of these things." Harry seemed to have finally gained a little confidence and said to Lu Yunkai with great gratitude. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know how to deal with the dragon."

"It's okay, help each other! Maybe I need your help later? We are friends!"

"Yeah, that's right!"

Harry's face finally put on a smile again.

...

As two (actually Lu Yunkai believes that there are at least three, he doesn't believe that Madame Maxime would not tell Fleur) contestants in the Triwizard Tournament knew the content of the first project that was still kept secret, Lu Yunkai felt that this competition was a little ridiculous.

This reminded him of a famous story called the Emperor's New Clothes.

But now he is the emperor on parade.

This made him somewhat helpless, and he had more complaints in his heart.

If you have complaints, you naturally have to vent them.

Without Quidditch training, he also stopped brewing potions. At the same time, because Moody was in the school, he was not in a hurry to worry about Voldemort's resurrection. He seemed to be fully devoted to the research on dealing with dragons.

Unlike two years ago when he was dealing with the basilisk, Lu Yunkai is no longer the rookie who was completely clueless when he opened the system and couldn't even find the search keywords.

The pile of essays that Snape left for him as "after-class review" opened up Lu Yunkai's mind to deal with magical creatures.

What's more, compared to the basilisk, which has long been banned in England, various records about dragons are not even in the restricted section of the library...

He could sit in the lounge with a book and read it and take notes openly (in fact, he did so blatantly when he was reading banned books, because even Daphne didn't know what kind of book Lu Yunkai was reading), and even talked to the person next to him. I discussed it with my classmates and it was no problem.

Solutions, many, many, many.

Lu Yunkai even felt that even if the Ministry of Magic had a seizure and wanted four warriors to ride evil dragons to fight against each other, Lu Yunkai was confident that he could easily kill the four dragons without hurting anyone else...

Well, it's four. Lu Yunkai doesn't plan to ride a dragon because he really can't believe in that thing.

And just like that, a week passed quickly.

Finally, the day came.

…

"Come! Come! The market is open!! Harry pays ten for one, Fleur pays five for one, Lu Yun pays two for one, and Krum pays one for two!!"

In an open space outside Hogwarts Castle, a huge temporary arena was bustling with activity.

George and Fred went around selling their lottery tickets.

It seems that these two people want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

"It's from Lu Yun, fifty thousand gold galleons."

A girl stopped the two of them with a smile and said with a smile.

Her voice was not loud, but the content of her words immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.

Even this place suddenly became quiet.

"...Miss Greengrass, stop making trouble!"

George looked at Daphne who was holding a stack of notes in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face, and smiled apologetically.

"Aren't you opening the offer? Why, you don't dare to take it?" Daphne still had a smile on her face, but she spoke firmly.

"Please do well and let us go! Ordinary people, we can only bet one or two gold galleons... how can you bet 50,000 at a time?" Fred also looked helpless.

"Then if Yun Kai loses, won't you get rich?"

"...If he wins, we will pay you with our lives!" George cupped his hands towards Daphne, "Why did we offend you?"

"How dare you put my brother-in-law's odds at second place! Humph!" Astoria, who was following, told Daphne what made her angry, "Don't be a coward! Take it! Anyway, Crewe Isn’t Mu better than my brother-in-law?”

"...Ten galleons at most, no more." George shook his head.

"Ten Galleons? Stingy." Daphne snorted and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute! Sister! Lend me ten galleons!" Astoria grabbed Daphne, "You look down on such a small amount of money, but I don't!"

"...Damn girl, here you go!" Daphne simply took out ten gold galleons and gave them to Astoria.

Then Astoria went directly to the twins and bought Lu Yun Kaisheng for ten galleons.

"Why are you so confident in Yun Kai?" Seeing her baby sister happily holding the voucher for buying the bet, Daphne was a little bit dumbfounded.

"He is my brother-in-law!"

"..."

Daphne smiled helplessly.

Then he sighed softly.

I hope he really won't let us down! actually……

Daphne was panicking!

…

"Harry, are you okay?"

"...Ah! It's okay! It's okay!"

"Are you so scared?"

Lu Yunkai smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder.

Harry forced a smile and looked around.

In the tent next to the arena, the four warriors who were going to play today were preparing to go on stage.

In fact, there is no preparation! Fleur was walking around in the tent, Krum was sitting there with his eyes closed and mumbling, Harry was in a daze... They were all so nervous that they could hardly breathe anymore.

Except for Lu Yunkai who was chatting and laughing there.

It can be said that he was well prepared, so naturally he was not so nervous.

Glancing at Harry, who was smiling more than crying, Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

Forget it, if you are willing to be nervous, let him become nervous slowly! Can't stop it.

Just then, a woman with big curly hair and a pair of glasses set with exaggerated gems walked into the tent.

Behind her was a man holding a camera.

"Fellow warriors! Hello! I am Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet. Nice to meet you! Before the game, I would like to conduct an interview with you first, which may take up a little bit of your time... …But you’ll soon realize it’s worth your money…”

"No need." Krum said first.

This made Lu Yunkai, who was already planning to talk to this woman, stunned.

In the past half month, he had met Klum several times and dealt with him twice. Although this man seemed taciturn and fierce, he was actually a very polite person with a good personality.

Why would he have such an attitude towards this woman?

Is there something wrong with this woman?

"Oh! Mr. Viktor Krum! I didn't expect us to meet again so soon! Haven't you gotten over the sadness of losing in the World Cup finals yet? You are such a fragile and cute little boy!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The four warriors looked at each other.

They all understand.

This woman is the first hurdle in their three-way competition.
