Volume 5: The Burning Golden Flame Chapter 354 Dragon Disaster
Hoss rushed very fast.
It did as John taught it, rushed out of the Forbidden Forest, and ran across the lawn at the edge of the Black Lake. The Aurors guarding around the castle didn't notice anything at all. It just felt like a gust of night wind blowing, and then the castle gate shook slightly.
When he was young, Hoss actually came to Hogwarts Castle. At that time, when Hagrid had just met it, it had a serious health problem, so Hagrid hurriedly carried it to the castle to find the then Potions Professor, Slughorn, hoping to get some healing potions from him.
So after entering Hogwarts Castle, it did not run around like a headless fly.
Instead, it quickly found an abandoned storage room on the first floor and broke open the door. At this time, most of the students and professors in the castle were gathered on the high-rise towers, and no one noticed its actions.
Things in the utility room were in a mess. Hoss bit the clothes that Jon had taken off and found a corner. He used his mouth to dig a small hole in the pile of miscellaneous things, and then threw the clothes in.
After doing all this, it tilted its mouth and revealed a somewhat human-like silly smile, then started running again, returning to the original route and rushing out of the castle. As John said, it did not return to the Forbidden Forest, but ran directly out of the gate of Hogwarts campus, and turned into a gust of wind and blew towards the direction of the town of Hogsmeade.
This is what John asked Hoss to help him do. It has already pulled the strings of those "kites" and completely tied them to Hogwarts Castle!
Just over a minute after it left the castle, the fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest flew over the edge of the Forbidden Forest, over the heads of the reporters and referees.
When the dark shadow covered the entire night sky, Matthew's face became extremely ugly.
He grabbed the dragon trainer by the collar in anger and scolded him.
"That's what you said before the game! You assured the Federation and the tournament organizers that there would be absolutely no major problems with the dragons! But what happened tonight?"
Snape, who was standing here representing Voldemort, also had a gloomy face. His face, which was already as pale as paper, became even uglier at this moment.
He first turned his head to look at Jon, the boy who had caused countless people to suffer just shrugged his shoulders innocently.
Snape said nothing, then turned his gaze to Dumbledore. His empty eyes and cold expression made him look like a giant black bat.
"I hope it's not you who are causing trouble."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Jon interrupted with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Snape, there are some things I haven't had time to report to the referee team, but you're putting the blame on us first. I found that someone hid some potions made from dragon egg liquid in the golden snitch, and it was these potions that caused the dragons to go crazy. And I clearly saw the Dark Mark of the Death Eater Guards of the British Ministry of Magic on the golden snitch. Do you have any explanation for this matter?"
After hearing John's words, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Snape.
Matthew also frowned. He first turned his head to look at the Middle Eastern wizard, and found that after Jon finished speaking, his face showed some panic, which reminded him of some things his secretary reported to him a few days ago.
Finally he looked at Snape.
"Do you have any explanation, Mr. Snape?"
Just as Matthew had talked to Dumbledore in the carriage before, he didn't care at all who would win or lose in the end of the Triwizard Tournament. He just wanted all three competitions to be completed normally without any trouble in between.
But obviously, neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore would allow him to fulfill his simplest request.
Snape didn't care about the looks directed at him at all, and was completely disdainful of explaining, but when a loud noise came from the direction of Hogwarts Castle, his whole body froze!
Everyone's eyes were looking towards the direction of Hogwarts Castle. The dragon group had split into two parts. The smaller ones like the Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon and the Norwegian Ridgeback directly crashed into the castle gate!
And the other huge fire dragons in their bodies, represented by the Ukrainian Iron Belly, began to rush towards the towering tower of the castle!
This magic school, which has been passed down for thousands of years, not only has internal anti-Apparition magic, but also extremely powerful external protective spells. The direct impact did not cause much damage to the main body of the castle, but it also caused it to tremble violently!
On the tower, when most of the students saw the dragons flying towards them from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, they were still unable to react.
They looked in the direction of Cedric's gaze, and at first they just felt that the flying direction of those fire dragons was a little wrong, and each one was getting bigger and bigger!
Finally, when the moonlight shone on the scales of the dragons, reflecting a dazzling light, a girl let out a shrill scream!
An Australian egg white eye stared at the tower where they were, and the huge dragon body crashed into the mottled ancient stone wall on the surface of the castle without hesitation!
The huge fangs were within reach, and the angry roar shook everyone's eardrums. Everyone could feel its brutality!
Many mixed-race students were shaken by the impact and fell to the ground.
They had completely lost the joy and happiness they had felt a minute ago about Jon and Dumbledore's malicious fantasies. The students' faces were filled with fear and panic. They screamed, cried, and scrambled to escape into the castle. No one dared to face the mad dragon even for a second.
Cedric made no move in the crowd.
His face was still as calm as ever, his gaze fixed on the bloodshot eyes without pupils of the Australian white eye. The students who were constantly running away passed by him, like waves passing through the reefs, they kept hitting it but could not change it at all.
Cedric suddenly laughed.
His smile was still as gentle as ever, but there was some inexplicable meaning mixed in with this gentleness.
Sympathize with the "Mudbloods"?
Sympathize with Jon and Wu Pingxian?
What is there to sympathize with a group of free and equal people?
On the contrary, it is the group of people who are slaves but do not know it who are really worthy of pity.
On the Astronomy Tower.
Little Barty could be said to be the first person to discover that there was something unusual about the movement trajectories of these fire dragons, even a few seconds earlier than Cedric.
Because the Astronomy Tower is the highest point in the entire Hogwarts Castle, standing here, you can almost have a panoramic view of one-third of the Forbidden Forest. All the actions of the dragons are under the surveillance of these professors.
However, no one noticed anything unusual about the fact that these fire dragons had been lingering on the edge of the forbidden forest.
They all speculated that the little Mudblood under Dumbledore's command might not be able to hold on any longer, and he was desperately trying to escape to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, trying to find the referee team, so that he would not have to give up the game and could ask them to help him think of a solution.
However, as soon as the group of dragons strayed from the forbidden forest, Little Batty realized something was wrong!
His face turned pale instantly and he quickly took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time.
It was exactly eight o'clock, the moment when the magic of the Forbidden Forest was released, allowing the contestants to freely choose to end the game!
Just by glancing at the time, he could roughly guess what might happen next.
"Amycus! Go and gather all the professors in the castle and the Aurors stationed downstairs! Do you hear me? Everyone!"
His roar startled everyone in the Astronomy Tower. The professors looked at him in surprise. Even Amycus, who had been given the order, looked at little Barty with a puzzled expression.
Little Barty's face was extremely ugly, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He drew out his wand and stared at Amycus.
“What are you waiting for!”
Amycus didn't dare to stay any longer. Everyone knew that when Voldemort was not in the castle, Snape seemed to be the actual person at the helm, but in fact, the only one who could truly command these pure-blood professors was Barty Crouch Jr.!
Amycus hurriedly walked out of the astronomy tower, but before he reached the door, a shadow completely covered his head!
The two Ukrainian Iron Bellys chose to fly together directly above the entire Hogwarts Castle!
Their huge size, plus wings that are enough to cover half the sky when spread out, completely isolate the castle from the sky!
At this time, many professors still hadn't reacted. They all looked up in shock, and they couldn't understand why the fire dragons, who had been serving as their tools in the Forbidden Forest to hunt down the little Mudblood, would suddenly descend on Hogwarts to deal with them!
But the actions of these dragons cannot be stopped whether they react or not.
The dazzling golden-red light flickered in the mouths of the two Ukrainian iron bellies!
Little Batty kicked Alecto, who was standing next to him with his mouth wide open, looking up at the sky in disbelief.
"Use the universal antidote! Now! If you all don't want to die!!!"
His roar finally brought everyone here back to their senses. More than a dozen professors in the astronomy tower raised their wands and, under the command of Little Barty, used the universal antidote!
The effects of everyone's spells were connected together, weaving a large blue net in the sky above the astronomical tower, and just as the scorching dragon's breath gushed out from the mouth of the Iron Belly, the golden red and light blue merged together!
The dragon's breath failed to break through the defense formed by the professors, but the fire dragons that came to Hogwarts Castle from the Forbidden Forest were not just the two Ukrainian Iron Belly!
