Chapter 585: The Competition Begins
All day long, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were helping Ron practice the Flying Curse.
They practiced until after ten o'clock in the evening. They planned to practice for a while, but Peeves appeared.
He probably thought Ron was going to throw things at him, so he started throwing the chair around the room.
Before the sound could attract Filch, the four of them quickly left the place.
Fortunately, by the time they got back to the Gryffindor common room, it was empty.
After more than three hours, it was already after midnight, before Ron finally mastered the Flying Curse. On the ground around him, there were many things scattered and piled up: books, quills, a few overturned chairs, an old set of gobstones, and Neville's toad Raffle.
"Much better, Ron, really improved," said Hermione, looking tired but very happy.
"I learned the spell!" Ron said happily, raising his wand and pointing it at the book on the round table.
In the next second, the book "How to Raise a Dragon" soared into the air, flew to the other side of the room, and was caught by Ron.
"Congratulations, Ron, you have mastered this magic completely." Harry said happily, "Now I know what to do if we can't learn the spell next time, let Ivan and Hermione take a It is a very useful way for the fire dragon to threaten us."
"It's not easy, I learned the spell, but I'm not sure," said Ron, still a little worried, "you know, broomsticks are farther away than things here and there, it's in the castle, I want on the field outside”
"It's all right!" said Hermione firmly. "As long as you really pay attention and pay attention, it will fly."
"Go back to sleep now, and learn the Eye Disease Curse tomorrow. This spell is much harder than the Flying Curse!" Ai Wen said.
Ron has been practicing the eye sickness spell for a long time, but on Monday, the four of them practiced until more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, so that Ron could fully master the spell, and would not be unable to release it because of being too nervous or excited. come out.
Everything has been prepared, and the rest depends on Ron's own performance.
Compared with before, Ron is now more or less confident, and is no longer so flustered.
Aiwen only felt that he was woken up by Colin just as he lay down.
He dressed absently and followed Colin to the auditorium. The atmosphere in the school was very tense and exciting.
Everyone in Gryffindor was saying hello to Ron and sending blessings, while Malfoy and the others were sneering.
Ron looked extremely nervous, slow to react, seemed indifferent to everything around him, and rarely even said a word.
At noon, the school was closed, so that all the students in the school had time to go to the field circled by the dragon below. 【】
Professor McGonagall came over and called Ron away, and Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and George hurried to follow.
"Weasley, now the warriors are all going to the field below, you must be ready to complete the first project." Professor McGonagall said sternly, and glanced at Ivan and the others, "Forget it six of you, Come along together!"
She seemed to think that Ron would be better off with some of them around.
Professor McGonagall looked distraught too, almost as anxious as Hermione and Ginny.
She led the four of them down the stone steps and into the open air.
It was a cold November afternoon and she put her hand on Ron's shoulder.
"Okay, don't be nervous!" she said. "Keep your head calm. We have some wizards around. If the situation is not good, they will step forward to control the situation. If it doesn't work, just give up. It's not shameful. I think The most important thing is not to complete the project, but to give full play to your own abilities and save your life. No one will think you are inferior to others. Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Ron murmured.
"Very good!" said Professor McGonagall.
She led them around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, toward where the dragon was.
As they approached the clump of trees where they could have seen the grounds, a tent had been erected there.
The tent blocked the fire dragons, and the entrance was facing them.
"You have to go in with the other warriors, Weasley!" said Professor McGonagall, her voice trembling, "I'm going out when it's your turn, and Mr. Bagman is inside, and he'll put the steps Let me tell you, good luck!"
She pursed her lips and looked at Ron uneasily, then led him to the entrance of the tent.
Professor McGonagall didn't let Ivan and the six of them go in, so everyone had to go up and say goodbye to Ron and send blessings one by one.
This picture really looks like sending Ron to the battlefield, and then he died there, never to be seen again.
Especially Ginny, she couldn't help crying when she knew that Ron was going to face the dragon.
Ron was pale, and he looked at them pitifully. He hasn't gotten the flame protection potion from Ivan yet, so it would be bad if he just entered the game like this.
But Professor McGonagall was still here, and he couldn't get the words out.
"You will succeed, Ron!" Ivan walked over and whispered, "Wait for me inside, I will go in in a while."
"I'll wait for you!" Ron said, the voice didn't feel like his own.
Then he turned and staggered into the tent.
Cedric was sitting on a low wooden stool in the corner, and he wasn't looking at Ron.
This made Ron feel very annoyed. This guy obviously got the news about the fire dragon from himself and Harry, but he said nothing gratefully, as if nothing had happened.
He couldn't get used to this little boy for a long time, ever since he beat Gryffindor in the Quidditch match.
Both myself and Cedric are warriors, but there is only one who can represent Hogwarts, and they must compete.
Also ignoring Ron was Fleur, she was not as calm and composed as usual, her face was very pale, and she looked sickly, curled up in the chair.
She was the only girl among the warriors. Seeing Fleur's appearance, Ron couldn't help but wonder how she would defeat those dragons.
As for Krum, he looked more sullen than usual, pacing back and forth in the tent.
After seeing Ron, he came over and whispered a few words, and his relationship with Ron is not bad now.
From Ron's point of view, he felt honored to be Krum's only friend at Hogwarts.
For those admirers, Krum didn't even look at it.
"Do you know how to defeat those dragons?" Ron couldn't help asking. (To be continued.)
