Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 621 Hufflepuff’s Courage and Wisdom
"Oh!"

Professor McGonagall was so excited that her whole body was shaking.

"Cross-type transformation, a perfect advanced transformation technique. If it were in class, I would definitely give Cedric twenty points!"

"Ah ha, very clever little trick!"

The atmosphere in the arena relaxed a little, and Bagman said happily,
"Our first warrior has finally made his move, and oh, it's not hard to see if that's his intention!"

Just as Bagman said, the Newfoundland hound that evolved from rock rushed out the moment it became able to move. However, it did not rush towards the Swedish Brachysaurus, but along the An arc-shaped curve, barking and running quickly to the opposite side of the gentle slope.

As early as when the stone was deformed, the clever Swedish Brachysaurus had been eyeing it. When the hound started running, the fire dragon changed its crawling posture and stood up completely.

The size of the Newfoundland Hound is close to that of a young calf, but compared to the Swedish Brachysaurus, which is nearly as tall as a three-story building, it is just a tiny thing. The fire dragon has not yet pounced on it to tear it to pieces, or annihilate it with its dragon breath. It just wants to determine what the dog wants to do.

Woo!
To be honest, the sound of dogs whining on the Triwizard Tournament was quite an interesting scene.

"Did you see it, everyone!" Bagman said happily, "Cedric is letting his hound challenge the fire dragon. He wants to lure the fire dragon away. It's a very wise move!"

Just as Bagman said, the hound stopped directly opposite Cedric. It ignored the huge gap in size between itself and the fire dragon, turned its head and barked loudly.

The short-nosed dragon opened its wings as big as a sail. It was already uneasy and irritable, but it was even more annoyed by the little thing in front of it. A surging blue flame subconsciously surged out of its nose, and the air immediately became anxious. , the audience who felt the heat wave screamed in surprise!

But after the dazzling blue flames full of death dissipated, the Newfoundland hound was safe and sound. It was in a safe position, unable to be touched by the dragon's breath. Moreover, it was not a real dog, so there was no need to worry about the high temperature.

The short-nosed dragon angrily clawed at the soil with its claws, its wings whipped up a strong gust of wind, its huge and ferocious dragon head swayed, and its low, thunderous roar made everyone's scalp numb!

But the problem is that this short-nosed dragon from the mountains of northern Sweden still has not left its egg. Although it was attracted by Cedric's hound, it did not leave the nest made of hay.This obviously didn't work, so the Newfoundland Hound made a new move. It suddenly jumped forward a few feet, then turned its head and shook its butt at the Brachysaurus.

This move has an immediate effect. The fire dragon is a magical creature with extremely high intelligence. It is powerful and proud. How can it endure such an insult.

The roars of laughter from the audience who were amused by the hounds were drowned in the earth-shattering roar of the fire dragon. A flood of blue flames surged out again. This flame was so blazing that even Cedric who was in the opposite direction could feel it. Until you are in a scorching furnace!

But fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. After seeing something bad, he immediately let the hound run away quickly. When the flames dissipated, the hound still did not collapse. Instead, he stood on the edge of the large pit melted by the flames and faced Brachysaurus bared its teeth!
Roar!
Visible waves of air stirred up billowing smoke and dust. In the haze, the sound of iron chains tightening suddenly sounded. Then, a huge shadow broke through the smoke and dust, and with a sharp roar, it suddenly pounced on Newfoundland Hound.

It's now!

Cedric's mind was now blank. He completely gave up his body to instinct. After the Brachysaurus left forty feet from the dragon's nest, he decisively jumped out from behind the rock.

"Oh my God, look at Mr. Diggory!"

Bagman shouted in surprise,
"His speed is amazing, it's incredible!"

Previously, Cedric was about sixty feet away from the dragon's nest, but in the one or two seconds when Ludo exclaimed, he quickly flew across the sixty feet distance as if he could fly. When Ludo's words fell, he Already appeared on the edge of the dragon's lair!
Roar!
There was another roar that made the earth tremble. The Swedish Brachysaurus, which was rushing towards the hound, seemed to have noticed something was wrong. It turned its head unexpectedly, and then saw a small dot trying to get closer to its dragon egg.

Before it completely turned around, the dragon's breath had been brewing successfully. People could see that the snout of the Brachyrhinosaurus was more dazzling than ever with blue light. However, Digory, who had already appeared, seemed to have no room to dodge. His speed was too fast and he moved forward without leaving any way for himself to retreat. With that distance and the speed of his forward movement, he had no chance to dodge!
The dragon trainers hiding in the passage raised their wands one after another, and even Dumbledore stood up from his seat at this time.

"The slide is flat!"

Just when the spectators thought that Cedric was going to miss the golden dragon egg that was so close, he suddenly jumped forward, pointed his wand at the feet of the fire dragon and shouted in mid-air.Boom!

The sound of the fire dragon hitting the ground was like thunder exploding out of thin air, but the dragon's breath was still sprayed out smoothly, but because of the sudden imbalance of the body, it was not aimed at Cedric, but instead, it was close to Cedric's left side. Two or three feet of the arm hit the rock wall!
The arena trembled, not because of the roar of the fire dragon, but because of the cheers of the audience.

"See, did you see it, our first warrior has got the golden egg!"

The dragon trainers rushed forward, and at least dozens of red lights enveloped the entire body of the Reduan Brachysaurus, but no one cared about it. People were cheering for Cedric, and Ludo Bagman jumped on the table. shouted excitedly,
"He succeeded. He showed us his courage and wisdom. Everyone, I dare to bet you [-] Galleons that the last little magic spell was planned. No one could immediately think of what to do in that situation. In response, our brave warrior obviously made a big gamble, and we all saw that he succeeded!"

The little wizards of Hufflepuff House were absolutely crazy with joy. Every one of them jumped on the table, laughing and jumping, shouting Cedric's name.

Professor Sprout was so moved that he wiped his tears, while Qiu Zhang in the passage also looked at Cedric with tears in his eyes.

"That's my son, that's my son!"

In the movie theater in Diagon Alley, Amos stood up and shouted loudly. He saw Arthur on the side, and his mouth almost touched his earlobe.

"Oh, congratulations, Amos, on a wonderful performance!"

Arthur also said happily, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes. He was thinking, if Bill, Charlie, and even Percy, if they could hold the Triwizard Tournament when they were studying at Hogwarts, Then maybe they can become warriors.

Cedric lay on his back, one hand firmly pressed on the golden egg.

He knew that countless people should be cheering for him at this time, but he couldn't feel any joy in his heart, only a feeling of happiness that he had survived the disaster.

The hidden passage opened, and Cedric caught a glimpse of Madam Pomfrey running towards him with his peripheral vision, and behind her, followed a group of therapists from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies. These people had frightened faces, as if they were witnessing Something terrible.

"I'm fine-"

Cedric wanted to get up and tell them that there was no need to worry. He just fell. However, when he made the move to get up, he found that the left half of his body did not respond to his call at all and was completely numb. state, so he looked over in surprise!
"do not move!"

Madam Pomfrey, who ran closer, shouted at Cedric, whose expression was distorted. She took several breaths when she looked at Cedric's bloody arms exposed in the air.

"You should thank Amosta for providing you with the special competition uniforms, Mr. Diggory——"

Madam Pomfrey said with a look of horror,

"Otherwise, you won't be able to save your arm!"
