Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 523 The fight started
In Scotland in March, there was occasional snow, but it melted as soon as the sun came out, making the Forbidden Forest wet.

"eat more."

Charles placed a croissant and a ham and egg sandwich on a plate in front of Fleur.

Furong shook her head and said, "I can't eat anymore."

Charles said, "Try to eat as much as possible. The competition is going to be very exhausting."

"You don't usually eat desserts, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight like Hermione does."

He reached for a grilled tomato and got stabbed in the back of his hand with a fork.

Hermione, who was sitting opposite, said without apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

What can Charles do?

Breakfast time was over and everyone poured out of the cafeteria. The audience came to the newly built stands beside the forbidden forest outside the castle, and the contestants participating in today's competition gathered in a tent nearby.

The clouds in the sky are floating slowly, and the horizon is dark. I'm afraid it's going to rain or snow again.

Charles stood up to leave, and Professor McGonagall, who was sitting at the back, asked, "Charles, where are you going?"

She was a little worried about what Charles was going to do.

Charles pointed to the dark clouds in the sky and said, "I'm going to stop that dark cloud. I don't want to watch the game in the rain."

Professor McGonagall also saw the dark clouds, frowned and asked, "Can you do it?"

Wizards who are keen on riding broomsticks know that the clouds in the sky may seem small, but they are actually very large, even larger than the mountain north of Hogwarts.

Charles just smiled confidently.

It wasn't a problem for Ruby to pull Charles above the clouds.

Charles stared at Bubblehead riding on his broomstick. The tops of the clouds in front of him looked like endless mountains, and they were extremely magnificent under the sunlight.

The cloud layer was more than two kilometers thick and the top temperature was below freezing, meeting the conditions for artificial rainfall.

Charles climbed into the top of the cloud and waved his wand.

The cold air of dozens of degrees below zero spread rapidly around like Grindelwald burning Paris. The supercooled water droplets in the clouds quickly condensed into ice crystals. The ice crystals collided with each other, absorbed the surrounding water vapor, gradually grew larger, and finally fell.

Charles was flying on his broomstick above the clouds, casting spells and flying. Soon a rain belt about thirty to forty kilometers long appeared and expanded rapidly.

When the clouds floated over the forbidden forest, only a few raindrops fell, and they soon stopped.

Charles was very cold when he returned to the audience, so he ate a hot baked sweet potato to warm himself up.

At this time, the big screen showing all the contestants has lit up, and Dumbledore is reading out the content of the competition.

There are seven fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest. The contestants need to take away the fire dragon eggs, one from each dragon. The warrior selected by the Goblet of Fire must take the egg out of the dragon's nest personally.

The game began and Hermione raised her wand to cast a spell.

A moment later, Harry's broom flew out of the castle and landed in Hermione's hands.

Hermione looked at Dumbledore and the others nervously. Although the rules did not prohibit the use of the Summoning Charm to summon objects, she still needed to see the reactions of the referees before doing so.

Dumbledore and others seemed to have anticipated this. The three headmasters just talked and laughed, and had no intention of stopping the game or punishing Hermione.

Hermione's bet was right, and she and George immediately used the Summoning Charm one after another. Malfoy's broom, George's notebook and Neville's bag of seeds kept flying towards them.

The other three teams were stunned. This was an unexpected path.

Although they did not prepare in advance, it would not prevent them from following suit and getting what they needed.

Then Charles floated up with the baked sweet potato in his hand and flew towards Hermione.

Cedric was surprised to see this trick, and then it was Dumbledore's turn to fly. Fleur and the others were a little confused, Beauxbatons was at a disadvantage, Madam Maxime was too heavy to fly over easily.

Dumbledore dispelled the Spell with an Apparition and immediately announced a ban on additional manpower.

Madame Maxime immediately added that pets were not allowed either.

She was afraid that someone would take Ruby away.

Knowing when to stop, Seamus and the others entered the Forbidden Forest. Harry and Malfoy flew into the air on their broomsticks. The position of the fire dragon needed to be scouted in advance.

Fred said to Cedric, "Don't worry. There are only a few places in the competition area that can accommodate fire dragons and let us cast."

They didn't have their own broomsticks, so they couldn't use the Quidditch team's equipment and had to rely on their feet.

Cedric said: "It's okay, we will proceed as planned."

The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang teams went straight into the Forbidden Forest, and then showed off their skills.

One of Furong's teammates cut off a lot of branches from a tree, which turned into wooden birds and flew around. He then sat on the ground with his eyes closed, while the others protected him.

Lavender asked Charles, "What are they doing?"

Charles said: "That is a reconnaissance spell. The wizard can see what the wooden birds see, but it is not easy to control so many wooden birds at the same time."

He thought to himself, Beauxbatons is also a place with many hidden talents. Judging from what this fellow showed, his strength is only slightly inferior to that of Fleur.

On the Durmstrang side, Erica was walking and suddenly disappeared when she passed the shadow of a big tree.

The Forbidden Forest is lush with trees and has plenty of shadows, so vampires moving around here is like going home at night.

Parvati asked Charles: "Will the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang cause trouble for Seamus and the others?"

Charles nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's inevitable."

Although Furong and Erica did not reveal any secrets, Charles got some clues from the interaction between students of the two schools.

If we look at it from another angle, it was agreed that each school would have one team, but now the host has set up two teams. The guests will definitely be unhappy and will definitely do some tricks.

Charles was certain that the two schools were going to do something, but he didn't know how and to what extent.

At this time, Furong and others encountered some magical animals imported from the United States. It had a dog-like body, a frog-like head, horns on its head, and red eyes.

After the Quidditch World Cup final, Charles was tricked by the Veela sisters into eating the horns of this divine horned animal. The horns were ground into powder, which could sober up and make people energetic enough to stay awake for seven days and seven nights. Now some of them are kept in Farbatten Castle.

The Horned Beasts also like to eat Moon Beasts. In recent years, the number of predators in the Forbidden Forest has been greatly reduced after Charles wiped out the giant eight-eyed spiders, and the population of Moon Beasts has increased rapidly, so some were introduced to control their numbers.

It is a ferocious magical animal. Although capable wizards can deal with it, Furong and others dare not take it lightly and deal with them with the mentality of beating up a child with all their strength.

"The fight started!"

There was a cry of surprise from the audience. As soon as Furong and the others drove away the divine horned beasts, the students of Durmstrang attacked them.

Fortunately, there were people in Beauxbatons' team who were responsible for monitoring the rear and flanks and gave timely warnings. When Durmstrang's men outflanked them, they had already formed a formation and were fighting and retreating.

"Eliminate the shadows!" Fleur shouted, "The vampire in their group has not appeared!"

Now Erica is nowhere to be seen on the big screen, and even Charles is a little curious about how she is going to do it.

A hidden enemy is more threatening than an obvious enemy. Furong and the others spent a lot of energy to guard against Erica's sudden appearance, and even went to places with sparse woods.

However, this was a trap set by Durmstrang and his men. In the fierce battle, Krum was covered by his teammates and moved to the position, launching a sneak attack from the side and rear.

A boy from Beauxbatons got cursed on his leg without realizing it. He immediately lost consciousness and could only walk by jumping.
