Chapter 698: Fire Dragon with Chewing

As the spiral staircase appeared, the professors at the staff desks stood up one after another.

Deans of the four colleges,
They all walked to the long table of their own college,

He led them out of the castle and came to the open space in front of the entrance hall, in front of the spiral staircase.

Several other colleges led the students,

Castello Buzar is Castel Pollacci,

The ones from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are two senior students who seem to be more prestigious.

The three Ryans accompanied Hermione, Luna, Kate and Penelope.

In the long line of Ravenclaws, he had a place in the front, middle and back.

This also makes Ryan, whose perception is deliberately reduced for the sake of being more interesting,
He saw the spiral staircase and the entire building on it more completely than anyone else present.

Its design seems to reference the fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.

However, the vines that grew from the magic beans in the story were replaced by the spiral ladder in front of us.

According to Ryan's observation, the design of the ladder itself is similar to the escalator in the subway.

The steps and handrails were moving from bottom to top at an extremely slow speed.

Plus, it's covered with cloud-like material, making it very inconspicuous.

From the discussions around me, I learned that most students mistakenly thought they had to climb up by themselves.

Some students who don't like sports are troubled by it.

In addition to their fear of heights, they were even more worried about getting tired halfway through the walk, and their legs becoming weak with fear and accidentally falling down.

Hermione seemed to be one of them.

Because of being with Ryan.

She does not come into contact with broomsticks as often as she does in the original world line, where she is Harry and Ron's friend.

Aside from flying lessons, she had little exposure.

During the flying class, we just circled at low altitude.

Just like any other student who is afraid of heights.

Facing the towering ladder, her body slumped against Ryan.

Completely forget about your own physical fitness.

You have to know that the effects of the 'potions' that Hermione often drinks have mostly been guided by Ryan towards the direction of resistance.

In this way, although Hermione is not as strong as Harry and Neville who have been transformed by magic, she also does not have the sufficient physical strength and endurance of the two.

But in terms of physical defense, Hermione far surpassed the two.

It can be said that even if she didn't use any magic, she would not suffer any damage if she jumped from the Quidditch field which is nearly 700 feet high.

But Hermione was so frightened that her legs went limp.

However, Ryan's fun did not last long.

A distant, clear voice began to sound from the clouds, like the whisper of a god in heaven.

“Everyone, before the Warriors come on stage.

After your respective leaders speak up, you all need to divide into two columns according to your colleges and schools and go up the ladder."

Then, Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor stood up and walked to the right side of the ladder.

Following her order, the Gryffindor students divided into two columns and walked towards the spiral staircase.

"It's alive!" "It can move!"

The Weasley twins, standing in the front row, were the first to discover the secret of the ladder's steps and handrails sliding upwards.

The two of them grinned and squeezed past Percy who was at the front. Under the admonition of Professor McGonagall, they were the first to step onto the ladder.

After someone stepped on it, the ladder started to move quickly.

Even the students from Durmstrang, who were farthest away from the ladder and almost at the edge of the Black Lake, discovered the secret of its movement.

"Be careful! Remember to hold on to the handrails!"

Just like that, the Weasley twins, followed by Percy, and the other Gryffindor students, grasped the handrails tightly and began to sail towards the clouds under the admonition of Professor McGonagall.

After all the Gryffindor students disappeared from their sight, Professor McGonagall suddenly stood on the ladder.

Disappeared in the clouds. Then, Professor Flitwick spoke.

Because Ryan also stood with Kate and Penelope.

Without anyone else noticing, he took the lead and stood on the ladder.

"This feeling under my feet is completely different from before." Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

“Stepping on it is like stepping on cotton candy.

Springy, yet firm. My feet seemed to sink into it." Kate blinked her big eyes to Ryan's right.

It took about a minute or so.

They arrived in the cloud.

The Quidditch pitch was decorated similarly to the last team match.

But this time, in addition to the center of the stadium, the floor, chairs and railings of the audience seats were also transformed into cloud-like substances.

What’s even more interesting is that the tracks of the ladder did not end until they stepped onto the platform.

Ryan and his companions were like items being transported on the tracks of the subway X-ray security machine at the subway security checkpoint, bypassing the rows of seats in front of them that were already filled with Gryffindor students.

Stop in front of the rows of empty seats next to it.

The center of the stadium was empty except for the white cloud of Arthur Weasley.

Albus Dumbledore, Igor Karkaroff, Olympe Maxime, Nyfinch Vulkanova and other four members of the Judgment Table sat on the floating white clouds.

In front of them is a 100X100 curved screen.

From the angle, the four seats with the logos of various colleges and schools painted on them can all see it in its entirety.

At this moment, the screen was showing scenes from deep within the forbidden forest.

In a clearing deep in the forbidden forest.

The Hungarian tree dragon, the Peruvian poison-tooth dragon, the Hebridean black dragon, and the Australian white-eyes are crawling quietly on the ground.

However, what attracted everyone's attention was not the fire dragon itself.

Instead, they chew on something like a horse bit in their mouths, which is connected to a long rein.

The fire dragon's abdomen is also tightly surrounded by a belly band.

The buckles at both ends of the belly strap are fastened to a saddle-like cushion on the fire dragon's back.

There are semicircular metal hangings on both sides of the cushion.

Even the dullest person could see it now.

It's the pedal.

This whole set is used to ride the fire dragon props.

In the stands, there was noise and dust flying.

Everyone began to crane their necks, hoping to find the warriors on the screen.

Even the Hufflepuff and Slytherin students who had just come down the ladder and were looking for a seat were no exception.

The perspective of the screen also began to shift, as if the camera operator knew what the students in the stands were thinking.

Next, a newly built cabin appeared in front of everyone.

Judging from the style, it should be the work of Hagrid.

As the perspective shifted, the door of the cabin opened.

Five figures walked out of the wooden house one after another.

At the front was Arthur Weasley.

In the Gryffindor section, Percy and the Weasley twins exclaimed that their father was standing here.

Next came the four warriors led by Furong.

They all changed into smart clothes.

The chest, shoulders, legs, knees and calves are covered with vertical grooves, and equipped with a hood and cape.

But the colors of the clothes vary.

The same color as the robes of the four schools' uniforms.
Fleur's was light blue, Krum's was blood red, Elvas' was bright green, and Harry's was black.
