Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 524: Get the Golden Egg

The Durmstrang team's attack on the Beauxbatons team kicked off a melee between the teams.

When Fleur and the others were transferring, a spell flew from their flank. They immediately counterattacked. The spell brushed Fred's nose and Cedric immediately ordered a counterattack.

Both teams wanted to get out of the battle as soon as possible. The battle between the Beauxbatons team and the Hogwarts team lasted less than two minutes, and Erica, who secretly provoked the war, had already run away to who knows where.

A seventh-year Ravenclaw student sitting not far from Charles said to his companions, "Durmstrang's tactics are very clever. First they attacked Beauxbatons, then they took advantage of Beauxbatons' psychology to make them use heavy hands when fighting Diggory, so that Diggory would think that this was a premeditated attack. At this time, Durmstrang could propose to Diggory to deal with Beauxbatons together, and maybe they could use this to launch a sneak attack on Diggory and his group."

Many people around him thought that what he said made sense.

As for the Simo team, everyone treated them as a tour group and were thankful if they didn't get killed.

Just like now, something happened.

Harry and Malfoy found the location of the dragon, and Seamus and others headed towards the first target.

There was a large open space in the forbidden forest, and some charcoal and burnt shell fragments could be seen around the ground.

This was once a nest of giant acromantula, but was destroyed by Charles' broom lick many years ago, and now only a pit remains.

There was a fire dragon's nest at the bottom of the pit, with a number of golden dragon eggs in it. A Hesperidian black dragon was lying on it, looking around with its purple eyes, a little nervous.

Simo and the others arrived at the vicinity safely, hid behind a tree, observed carefully, and discussed what to do.

Malfoy said seriously: "You can let Potter lead the dragon away, and I will take Finnigan to pick up the dragon eggs."

The biggest advantage of their team is that they have a flying broom, so in theory it should not be a problem to lure away the fire dragon.

Hermione ignored Malfoy and asked Neville, "Did we find enough herbs along the way?"

Neville said: "Those herbs have been cleared in advance, and there are not many of them. They are only enough to deal with a fire dragon."

Seamus said, "In that case, save the herbs for the most dangerous times."

Hermione nodded and said, "The dragon's eggs are in the pit. Let's try to lure it out. It's blocking our view...ah!"

As she spoke she suddenly let out a scream.

A large devil's net suddenly emerged from the mud. It had been waiting here for a long time. It suddenly moved, and the vines as thick as its wrists rolled towards everyone.

It was particularly clever, first picking out the hands of wizards holding their wands and wrapping them around them, preventing them from casting spells.

Obviously, this devil's net was specially placed here to wait for the players to come.

"The Devil's Snare is afraid of fire!"

"Don't worry, they know."

"But they can't use wands!"

The audience suddenly became nervous. It was not difficult to deal with the Devil's Snare, but the difficult part was that they couldn't use the magic wand.

So Simo and his companions were entangled in the devil's net, and were swinging in the air.

Ginny screamed, her brother George and best friend Hermione were among them.

Charles turned to her and said, "Don't worry, it won't be a problem Hermione."

"Yes!" Ginny suddenly remembered something, "Hermione practiced wandless spellcasting!"

As long as I can cast a spell, everything will be fine.

But what happened next was unexpected.

Hermione took action, literally.

Her right hand was entangled by the devil's web vines. She seized the opportunity, stretched out her left hand to grab the vines in her right hand, and then exerted force with both hands!

With a "snap" sound, the devil's snare was easily torn apart, and green juice splashed out.

After Hermione landed safely, several more vines came around.

She grabbed all the vines with both hands, gathered all her strength, and walked towards the black dragon, leaving deep footprints with each step.

Her face was a little red, and the vines that were pulled were straightened. After a moment, the ground cracked and the whole Devil's Snare was pulled out of the ground. The Devil's Snare was scared, and the other vines put down Simo and others, huddled together, and trembled.

When Hermione walked out of the woods and came to the open space, she spun around, swung the vines up, and smashed them at the black dragon of the Hexagonal Islands.

The black dragon saw a large mass of something whizzing towards him, and was in danger of being hit, so he immediately spread his wings and ran away.

There are only thirty or fifty sheep a month, why bother risking your life?

The black dragon was standing opposite the pit, with its wings folded in front of it to protect itself, looking at Hermione nervously.

Ginny whispered to the students around her, "I heard from Charlie that the dragon is afraid when it makes this gesture."

As she said, the beast's instinct told the fire dragon who the most terrible person was.

Under the cover of others, Simo carefully went down to the dragon's nest, picked up a golden egg and ran away.

There are six more.

Charles frowned. Hermione had grown up. It seemed that he could not stab her so easily in the future. If she fought back, he would have to travel to another place.

The other three groups also made progress.

Furong and the others first came to the Chinese fireball's nest, which was built on a mound of earth, and the golden eggs sparkled in the sun.

They divided the work and cooperated with several people. Several people attracted the fire dragon's attention, while Furong went behind it and used a spell similar to the Imperius Curse, and the fire dragon kicked out a golden egg by itself.

Cedric and the others were in trouble. The flames spewed out by the Hungarian Horntail were as high as 15 meters. They turned a stone into a goat and lured it away from the nest. Cedric took the opportunity to take away a golden egg.

Krum was much more relaxed. The students of Durmstrang cast a large dark cloud to cover the sky, creating a shadow. Erica took him to sneak behind the dragon, picked up the golden egg and ran away.

Simo and others soon arrived near the second fire dragon.

“It’s Australian Egg White Eye!”

"It's so beautiful, like a white gem!"

"If you like, you can ask Charles to buy you one."

The Australian Whiteeye is not very aggressive and just lies in its nest.

They looked around carefully, guarding against traps such as the Devil's Snare.

"careful!"

A brown shadow rushed out from behind the tree and rushed past Malfoy, who then fell to the ground with a scream.

"What is that?!" Neville was startled.

Rolf Scamander exclaimed, "It's a kangaroo!"

"Why are there kangaroos here?!"

Kangaroos are supposed to live in Australia, so it is very strange that they appeared in the forbidden forest. They could only have been brought here intentionally.

It jumped out from behind the trees again, and George and Harry immediately cast a spell.

But the kangaroo was extremely agile. It dodged the spell in a few jumps and came in front of Harry.

The kangaroo swung a punch at Harry, who dodged subconsciously and hit the kangaroo with a hook with his left hand.

"then!"

Harry threw his wand to George, dodged the kangaroo's punch, and when the opportunity arose he threw a straight punch at its head.

But the kangaroo jumped back and the punch stopped just in front of its nose.

Harry found that the opponent was a master, and there were not many who could compare with him in the Surrey boxing ring. He clenched his fists, concentrated his energy and went all out.

"Collapse!"

George hit the kangaroo with a stun spell, ending the fight.
