I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 269: Egg Landing Battle

Cedric lived up to his title as the last hope of the entire Hufflepuff village. The moment he came on stage, the whole audience stood up and cheered for him.

In the contestants' tent, Furong was like a relay. After Cedric left, she began to walk around in the tent, trying to calm herself down. Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and Furong shuddered and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, that's dangerous, that's dangerous, that's a really dangerous move!" said Mr. Bagman. "I think the Hufflepuff qualities in him really shine through at this moment, the perseverance and tenacity, he's a true Hufflepuff - and look, he's tried another tactic, but it doesn't work."

Outside the field, Cedric was in a tense situation with the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon - in fact, for sixth-grade students, the ferocity of the fire dragon did not make much difference - even the weakest Welsh Green Dragon was not something they could deal with.

What does it feel like? It's like a seven-year-old child facing a Bengal tiger and a Siberian tiger. Even though the Bengal tiger is the smallest of tigers, it's still deadly to a child. The child can't beat it either way, so it's no different from facing a Siberian tiger.

After several failed attempts, Cedric saw the rock that Catherine had just pulled. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he waved his wand, turning it into a Newfoundland hound.

The Newfoundland hound transformed from rock immediately noticed the hovering Swedish short-nosed dragon. It barked wildly at the dragon and, under Cedric's command, began to run around the dragon.

Cedric's guess was correct. The Swedish short-nosed dragon gave up on him and turned its attention to the hunting dog.

Perhaps the little hound's constant barking angered the Swedish short-nosed dragon, and it flapped its wings and flew towards the hound. Cedric seized this opportunity and quickly used his hands and feet to crawl towards the short-nosed dragon's nest.

But the Swedish short-nosed dragon seemed to have a mental disorder. Halfway through the flight, it suddenly changed its mind and made a sharp turn in the air, attacking Cedric. Unfortunately, Cedric was quick and had already reached into the nest and got the golden egg.

The Swedish short-nosed dragon was helpless and furious, and it opened its mouth and spewed a stream of fire at Cedric. Cedric rolled over and dodged the fire.

"Beautiful, Diggory managed to dodge the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon's fire attack..." Mr. Bagman said halfway, and suddenly said, "Ah, he managed to dodge it, but not completely. We can notice that the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon's fire burned Diggory's handsome face. Well, I hope this doesn't affect his handsome face. The boy doesn't have a girlfriend yet..."

"Now comes the scoring phase, let's start scoring!"

Dumbledore gave it eight points, but the reason for the deduction was that he was injured and it took a long time. Mr. Lovegood gave Cedric a thumbs up and gave him ten points for his wit - of course, it may also be because he has a good relationship with Cedric's father Amos, so he gave him such a ten points.

Madam Maxime also gave it a high score of nine, and Mr. Bagman gave it a high score of ten - it seems that Mr. Amos Diggory is quite popular.

Finally it was Karkaroff's turn. He gave five points with a conflicted look on his face, causing an uproar. Of course, his reason was the same as Dumbledore's, because Cedric was injured.

"Well done, Cedric." Louis gave a thumbs up to Cedric who was walking up to him. The big boy smiled excitedly, handed the golden egg to the Hufflepuff classmate next to him, and hugged his father Amos.

"Kid, I knew you could do it! I knew you could do it..." Mr. Diggory kept saying, unable to conceal the excitement on his face.

Cedric was the pride of his life.

"Freshman..." Draco muttered in a very soft voice. For some reason, many male classmates disliked Cedric.

Maybe it’s because this kid doesn’t have any shortcomings, not even in his character - the main reason is that he’s so handsome.

"Contestant Diggory's final score is - forty-two points! The next contestant is - Lady Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, and the dragon she will face is - the Welsh Green Dragon!"

As Mr. Bagman finished his words, Fleur emerged from the tent and made her grand entrance.

As a girl with Veela blood, she was stunningly beautiful, and immediately caused a round of enthusiastic cheers - there were also a few boos, mostly from girls.

After Furong came on stage, she politely bowed to everyone like a lady. Then she took out her wand and looked at the green dragon who was obviously slacking off. She was still struggling with what plan would be better.

The man and the dragon stared at each other like this until the Welsh Green Dragon finally got tired of waiting. It looked up to the sky and made a long howl, but it didn't make any sound, and its wings also made a flapping movement. Furong was facing a great enemy and quickly got into a fighting posture, constantly scanning with the corner of her eyes to see where it would be suitable to hide.

But she was obviously misinformed. The green dragon had no intention of attacking at all. It actually opened its mouth and yawned, then lay down on the nest. However, its yellow eyes were still staring at Furong.

Good man, you were stretching just now, right? You must have been stretching, right?

Furong was speechless for a while. She looked at the Welsh green dragon that was dozing off and didn't let it get away with it. Instead, she cast a spell. After the Welsh green dragon was hit by the spell, it even closed its eyes. Not long after, a deafening snoring sounded on the field.

Mr. Bagman saw that Fleur was using a hypnotic spell, so he chose to remain silent in order not to disturb the green dragon's sleep.

Furong climbed up the nest easily. She grabbed the golden egg and held it up excitedly.

But there is a saying that goes, one should not be too complacent - it’s not that the green dragon woke up at such a dangerous moment, and no one knew what was wrong with the dragon’s food. He snored, and a blue-white flame spewed out of his nose, directly setting Furong’s skirt on fire.

Fortunately, the angle was not right and only the edge of Furong's skirt was burned, otherwise she would have suffered in the next few days.

Furong was able to remain calm in the face of danger. She took out her wand and cast a water-clearing spell, putting out the fire on her skirt.

When Fleur also walked onto the stands and came to Madam Maxime's side, Mr. Bagman finally began to speak: "Well done, Miss Delacour from Beauxbatons, she skillfully applied the hypnotic spell and got rid of the dragon effortlessly. The only flaw is that the dragon may have slept too soundly and actually burned Miss Delacour's skirt when snoring... Fortunately, Miss Delacour reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been exposed..." "Okay, now it's time for the scoring!"

Madame Maxime openly defended her son, and was the first to give a perfect score of 10. Dumbledore gave a high score of 9, the same as Mr. Lovegood; the good old Mr. Bagman gave an 8, but as a passionate Quidditch player, he did not like this conventional style very much; Karkaroff, as shameless as ever, hummed and groaned and gave a 6.

"Miss Delacour's final score is - forty-two points! Now, please welcome our next contestant - also from Beauxbatons - Miss Marilyn Chabanol! The dragon she will face is - Australian Egg White Eyes!"

Cheers rang out and Marilyn came out. She shook her flaxen hair and saluted everyone gracefully.

Then, she looked up at the dragon. It must be said that the Australian white eye is the most beautiful of all dragons. Its pearly scales present a rainbow color, which is very beautiful. The white eyes without pupils are not scary, but sparkling and colorful.

According to the principles of zoology, generally good-looking people have good tempers, and Australian white eyes are obviously in this category. Marilyn certainly knows the characteristics of Australian white eyes. After Madam Maxime revealed that she would face a dragon in the competition, she studied hard in the Hogwarts library. This time, she really came prepared.

Since she knew the strategy, Marilyn decided not to act in order to get a high score. She waved her hand and several sheep came out from behind the rockery - they were transformed by Transfiguration, but of course, Egg White Eyes couldn't know.

She drove the flock of sheep forward, politely motioned for the Australian white eye to come down and enjoy, and pointed to the golden egg in the Australian white eye's nest, meaning, "Can I exchange my sheep for an egg with you?"

Australian Egg White Eyes shook its head. Even if it liked eating sheep, it couldn't exchange its own eggs for them, right?
Marilyn was very brave. She put her wand back in her pocket and raised her hands to show that she had no ill intentions. She led the sheep step by step towards the Australian White Eye.

"As expected of a French woman, look at the way she raises her hand, so authentic." Louis commented to Catherine, smacking his lips.

Of course, Marilyn didn't know what Louis said. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care. After all, she was from the old Paris Plain White Banner, and this hand-raising skill was an ancestral skill. After all, her grandfather had followed the Grand Marshal into Vichy.

The Australian egg white stared at the little person in front of it and did not move until she crawled to her own nest.

Marilyn became bolder and handed the sheep up, pointing to the golden egg.

Eggwhite Eyes also discovered that the golden egg was different from its own eggs - the eggs of Australian eggwhite eyes are grayish white, so they are always mistaken for fossils by Muggles. With a high IQ, it immediately realized that the golden egg was not its egg. Under the temptation of the delicious sheep, it nodded, stretched out its nose to nudge the golden egg, and pushed it out of the nest.

It means you can take it.

Marilyn immediately picked up the golden egg and jumped away from the Australian egg white's nest.

She did not rush up there, but cast a loudspeaker magic on herself and loudly asked the staff to send a few sheep over, and she would pay for it.

The staff met her request, and Marilyn breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the genuine sheep being delivered to Australian Egg White Eyes.

"It seems that our Miss Chabanol is very trustworthy. When she said she would exchange a sheep for the golden egg, she must give the sheep with the Australian white eyes a real sheep, not a fake sheep created by Transfiguration," Mr. Bagman said with emotion. "It's rare to find someone as trustworthy as Miss Chabanol, especially one who can be so trustworthy to a dragon. I think we should all learn from her."

After Mr. Bagman finished speaking, there was warm applause and cheers from the stands, all cheering for Marilyn.

"Okay, now it's time for our scoring phase," Mr. Bagman said with a smile.

This time, Madame Maxime still gave it a high score of 10, as did Dumbledore and Ludo Bagman. Lovegood gave it a score of 9, and Karkaroff hesitated for a long time before finally giving it a score of 6.

I, Karkaroff, have done everything in my life, so there is no need to explain to others what is right.

"Miss Chabanol's final score is - forty-five points! Let's congratulate her!" Mr. Bagman shouted excitedly, and a few criticisms of Karkaroff crossed his mind, but he didn't say them out loud in the end.

Marilyn walked up to the stands and waved excitedly to the crowd that was cheering for her.

Fleur also walked over and gave her a warm hug, and then the two of them sat behind Madame Maxime and talked cordially.

"Next, please welcome our next contestant, the warrior from Durmstrang - Mr. Viktor Krum! The fire dragon he will face is - Ceris Fireball!"

Victor appeared in the audience. His face was no longer as dark as before. He had experienced many big scenes and adjusted his mentality. He waved calmly to everyone, and the audience cheered enthusiastically. The star seeker was so popular.

The Seris Fireball Dragon, also known as the Dragon Lion, has bright red smooth scales, a lion nose on its face, a circle of golden tassel-like spikes around its nose, and bulging eyes, which makes it look ferocious and funny. This fire dragon can spray mushroom-shaped fireballs from its nostrils when angry, so it is named the Fireball Dragon.

Victor stood there, looking at the Seris Fireball Dragon from afar, wondering how to deal with it.

"I think he will definitely fly." Ron said firmly beside Louis, "Who is he? He is the famous Viktor Krum! The best seeker in the world! He will definitely use his signature 'Wronsky Fake Move' to touch the golden egg!"

"But I didn't see his broom, Ron." Hermione didn't like her boyfriend praising Viktor so much. "I think he would use other methods. Our competition rules also prohibit bringing anything other than wands into the venue..."
