The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 399: Fairness Model

The Triwizard Tournament is a friendly competition between three European magic schools. It aims to promote exchanges among young wizards, enhance the friendship among the three parties, and lay the foundation for future cooperation.

For the warriors selected from the three schools, the three competitions are a test of their comprehensive strength. For the teachers of the three schools, the three competitions are a test of their cheating ability.

Yes, cheating, cheating has always been a tradition of the Tri-Widget Tournament. They would find ways to leak questions to the warriors from their own school, provide help, and conduct targeted training for the competition items, etc.

For a warrior to win the Triwizard Tournament, besides his own strength, cheating by teachers is also an indispensable part.

Charlie Weasley leaked the content of the first project, the dragon, to Ada in an almost "open and aboveboard" way.

This is the only thing Charlie knows. He is not clear about the specific content of the first project. His guess is that the warrior needs to pass the test of the fire dragon and get something.

Why not fight the dragon? Perhaps it is because it is almost impossible for students to defeat an adult dragon, especially a female dragon incubating eggs. The dragon at this time is several times more dangerous than usual.

After returning to Hogwarts from the Three Broomsticks, Ada has been thinking about how to deal with the dragon. Sliding is definitely not going to work, and if you're not careful you could easily slip into the dragon's mouth and turn yourself into a free dessert.

There is still about a week left before the first event. During this week, Ada needs to come up with an effective method that can both quickly resolve the battle and get rid of the fire dragon, but also avoid getting hurt, which would make the result of the competition imperfect.

While Ada was lying in a daze on the soft bed in the dormitory, Harry sneaked out of bed, ran out of the castle, and ran to the Forbidden Forest, where Hagrid was waiting for him.

What Harry didn't expect was that Hagrid wasn't the only one waiting for him, but also Madam Maxime of Beauxbatons. In this way, Harry, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, became a light bulb for no apparent reason.

But this light bulb is not in vain, Harry also knows that the first project is the dragon. Harry also unexpectedly ran into Karkaroff in the Forbidden Forest. The headmaster of Durmstrang also came to spy on the dragon.

Cheating is a traditional skill in the Triwizard Tournament.

The next morning, as Ada had just put on her clothes and walked out of the girls' dormitory, she saw Harry wandering at the door of the girls' dormitory. He walked back and forth like a pervert who liked to look at goldfish.

Seeing Ada coming out, Harry rushed over and pulled Ada to the corner. This smooth and fluid movement stunned Ada. Was the child upset after knowing that Cedric and Qiu Zhang were together?
Harry looked around cautiously. It was morning, and there were not many people in the common room. Most of them were still lying in bed. Harry lowered his voice and whispered, "Ada, the first project is the dragon."

As if worried that Ada would not believe it, Harry emphasized, "I saw it with my own eyes last night. There were four dragons in the forbidden forest outside the castle. Each of us can get one."

"Have you seen Charlie?" Ada asked. It wasn't that Ada didn't want to tell Harry about the dragon, but she wanted to leave this opportunity to Ron, so that Ron would have a reason to reconcile with Harry.

After knowing that Harry had seen the dragon, the first person Ada thought of was Ron. She thought that the little brother with negative EQ finally got it.

"Uh... I saw it." Harry thought of the socially fatal scene last night again. He was wearing an invisible cloak, and Charlie was imitating Mrs. Weasley in front of him, talking about Mrs. Weasley's concerns about him.

Harry shook off the embarrassment in his heart and continued, "Ada, we're not the only ones who know about this. Fleur and Krum must know about it as well. Madam Maxime went to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid last night, and Karkaroff also went there secretly."

Seeing that Ada was still calm and unhurried, Harry became even more anxious. What's wrong with you? You are so leisurely when the situation is urgent!
Little brother, you are still too young. Let me teach you a lesson.

Ida said slowly, "I met Charlie in Hogsmeade yesterday afternoon, and I also learned about the dragon. Don't be surprised, this is normal. Another name for the Triwizard Tournament is the Fancy Cheating Competition."

This immediately caused Harry's worldview to go awry. He always felt that he, Fleur, and Krum had cheated to find out about the dragon, which was very unfair to Ada.

But Harry never expected that Ada was the first person to know the news. Cheating in the Triwizard Tournament was child's play and was condoned by everyone, as long as your cheating methods were not too clumsy to be seen through at a glance.

Ada continued, "We told Ron the news yesterday, and we hope he can tell you. After all, the two of you have been having some unpleasantness recently, and you need a way out..."

"Wait, you mean Ron?" Harry asked in shock, "Ron also knows about dragons?" "Uh... didn't Ron tell you?" Ada covered her mouth. She felt that she might have done something bad with good intentions, making the relationship between Harry and Ron further and further apart.

Then Ada was also very angry. She was angry that Ron ignored the overall situation. She should know when to stop throwing tantrums and not confuse priorities!

"No, Hagrid took me there," said Harry glumly, his heart sinking lower and lower until it seemed to have sunk into his stomach.

Some people just don't know what to say. When Ada was talking to Harry, Ron walked out of the boys' dormitory with red ears. Ron usually wouldn't get up so early, but today he didn't know what was going on, he just couldn't fall asleep.

Seeing Ron appear in the common room and deliberately ignoring Harry, Ada was furious. She shouted, "Ronald Weasley, get out of here!"

Ron, who was not far away, shuddered unconsciously when he heard Ada's roar, and then walked over with his head down. The pace and speed were so fast that even Ron's old aunt was more agile than him.

"Hurry up, you haven't eaten yet!" Ada urged loudly, "I'll count to three, one... two..."

Before the count of three, Ron had already rushed to Ada. Although he had indeed not eaten breakfast, he did not dare to refute. He forced a smile and asked, "Good morning, Ada. The weather is really nice. What's the matter?"

"Oh, you're very polite, Ronald Weasley!" said Ada, "You don't take my words to heart! You've grown wings!"

Every time Ada spoke, Ron shuddered; when Ada raised her hand to smooth her hair, Ron took a step back and walked away from her, then walked back silently under the threat of her eyes.

"What did I tell you yesterday, and what did Fred and George say to you? You drank it all with butterbeer, right?" Ada said, and she grabbed Ron's ears to prevent him from cosplaying James Harden and taking a step back and jumping far away again.

Seeing Ada scolding Ron and pulling his ears, Harry couldn't help but smile, feeling particularly happy, sweeping away the anxiety in his heart. I'll make you not believe me! I'll make you be sarcastic with me!

Ron shrank his neck, patted the back of Ada's hand and begged for mercy, saying, "You asked me to tell Harry about the dragon, and Fred and George also told me about the dangers of Harry becoming a warrior..."

"Then how did you do it? Did you tell Harry?" Ada still didn't let go, but the strength in her hands was much weaker.

Harry also stopped smiling and looked at Ron, meaning: Come on, look into my big green eyes and tell me, have you told me about the dragon?
Of the two men in front of him, one was pulling his ear angrily, and the other one didn't say a word but was obviously also angry. How could Ron not understand what was going on?

Ron quickly explained: "Sister, dear sister, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I really told Harry, really, please let go first..."

"Ada, he lied. Hagrid told me and he was the one who took me to the Forbidden Forest," Harry said. Finally, he could "get his revenge". Harry fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire.

Ron looked at Harry aggrievedly and explained, "It was really me. I went to Hagrid's hut and talked about Charlie. Then Hagrid remembered to take you to see the dragon. I told the truth...really!"

Seeing that the child's aggrieved expression did not seem fake, Ada let go of her hand. Ron quickly covered his ears and rubbed them gently.

"Don't pretend, I didn't use that much force."

Harry at the side asked blankly: "But, but why didn't you just tell me directly? Why did you have to go around in circles? How could anyone know this?"

"I thought you knew." Ron said aggrievedly.

Ada and Harry said in unison: "Who could know that?"
