Homecoming from Hogwarts

The timing of this moment was very precise. The blazing torrent was only half a meter away from Krum. There were already scalded blisters on the side of his face, and Krum's fingertips were only half a meter away from the golden egg. He was pointing at a certain distance, but except for Amosta and Dumbledore, everyone present was blinded by the red firelight and could not observe the details of the scene.

At this moment, Amosta and Dumbledore chose to take action at the same time.

The gray runes that Harry had seen trapped in the Swedish Brachynosaurus in the cave appeared again, instantly covered with fire dragons and flame pillars bursting into the air, completely confining them on the spatial level, and Dumbledore's magic There was a gust of wind, not that dazzling, but its power was extraordinary.

Being blown by the breeze, the Hungarian Horntail, the largest among the fire dragons, was blown dozens of feet away and hit the ground heavily with a roar like the earth was shaking.

boom--
In the aftermath of the earthquake, there was a clear sound of impact. It was Krum. He held the golden egg under his arm with one arm and also fell back to the earth. This was also a big blow to him. , he was so dizzy that he couldn't even stand for a while, curled up and gasping in pain.

The picture on the big screen was fixed on Dumbledore and Amosta slowly lowering their wands, and the place was so quiet that one could hear the drop of the wand.

How to calculate this?

Not to mention the audience at the scene and on the movie screen, even Ludo, Maxim and Crouch didn't say anything for a while.

"Victor completed the challenge!"

Karkaroff obviously knew where the subtle smell in the air came from, and he expressed his opinion faster than anyone else,

"As you can see, he got the golden egg!"

"I didn't mean to refute your point, Professor Karkaroff—"

As one of the hosts and referees, Ludo said awkwardly,

"But there is an irrefutable fact that Krum got the golden egg after Amosta and Dumbledore took action to subdue the Hungarian Horntail, so...at least according to the rules, this does not count."

"That's total bullshit, Bagman!"

Karkaroff shouted angrily,
"It's not like Viktor asked them to take action. He could have gotten the golden egg!"

"How can you say that, Professor Karkaroff!" Mrs. Maxim glared at him dissatisfied, "If it weren't for Brian and Dumbledore, your warriors would have been wiped out--"

Amosta and Dumbledore did not express their opinions. Karkaroff's clown-like behavior was not enough to make them angry. Karkaroff also recalled immediately that this was not the little kid behind the Hogwarts Great Hall. There were countless people looking at them from all around the room!
After a sudden change in his expression, Karkaroff faced Amosta and Dumbledore with a greasy smile.
"I am extremely grateful to you for saving Viktor's life. Of course, this is also your own responsibility, right? But let me ask you two to be fair. Krum has completed the challenge, right? Before the fire dragon's flames touch him, he can touch the dragon egg, so, oh, what I actually want to express is that the time for you to take action is earlier!"

Karkaroff's words aroused contemptuous glances from all around. Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout even snorted angrily. Snape also turned his sinister face to the side, worried about what might happen to Kaka. If Love can't convince others, let him come out to build momentum.
A clown, a dying man--
There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Amosta's mouth. He turned his head and looked at the passage where the fire dragon came out with a little anticipation. He didn't bother to entangle with it. Dumbledore's half-moon frame also reflected a hint of impatience, but in the end, he He commented calmly,
"Objectively speaking, the situation is such that Mr. Krum will reach the golden egg first."

Dumbledore's words made Karkaroff bar his yellow teeth.

Krum was carried down by the healers from St. Mungo's. To be honest, it was a wise decision to invite these medical workers to assist. If Madam Pomfrey relied on herself, I am afraid that she would not be able to survive after the game. They will probably fight against Amosta and Dumbledore.

The scoring begins.

Dumbledore and Maxim were both kind. They gave Krum nine points and eight points respectively, which is beyond reproach, while Barty Crouch also gave eight points.The problem arises with Karkaroff and Ludo Bagman.

When Karkaroff's wand sprayed a silver ribbon-shaped '10' into the air, there was obviously an angry shout immediately. No matter where you sat, you could hear someone yelling at Karkaroff. The word 'shameless' was shouted, but Karkaroff didn't take it seriously and still looked delighted. However, his smile only lasted until Ludo gave his rating.

Six points!

Not to mention Karkaroff, even Amosta raised his eyebrows slightly, but then his brows fell back. This guy must have secretly suppressed Krum to lose the game.

"This is unreasonable!" Karkaroff shouted angrily at Ludo, "Your scoring is full of bias and targeting, Bagman!"

"Perhaps you have forgotten, Professor Karkaroff-" Mrs. Maxim bowed to Dumbledore and said in a low voice, "You also gave the boy at Hogwarts 6 points, and he The performance is far beyond this score.”

Karkaroff looked unconvinced and was about to retort, but Ludo told him his reason first.

"I admit that Mr. Krum did a good job, Professor Karkaroff--"

Ludo had obviously expected that Karkaroff might question his score. He was not unhappy at all, but instead had a brisk smile on his face.
"But there is a problem. At the end of the contest just now, when the Horntail was about to spit out its dragon breath, Mr. Krum not only did not choose to dodge, but instead accelerated towards the golden egg. He obviously wanted to compete with the Horntail. Speed, and this shows his true intention-"

"What?!" Karkaroff asked angrily.

"Mr. Krum obviously thinks that he will be saved regardless of whether he gets the dragon egg or not. Ah, of course, according to Dumbledore, he got the dragon egg first, but his thinking is undoubtedly - -"

Ludo finally gave his opinion,
"Mr. Krum is designing the safety officer. He relies on the rescue of others to complete the challenge. Without Amosta and Dumbledore, he would be finished when he gets the golden egg. I think this is obviously to Points will be deducted.”

Karkaroff's sallow face turned red. He was at a loss for words and couldn't think of a good way to argue.

"As long as there is a suitable reason, the referee has the right to make his own score -" Amosta said without refusal, "The last warrior is waiting eagerly, and we should not waste any more time on this issue."

Karkaroff knew that he would not get the support of others. He sat down angrily and calculated Viktor's score. By the time he calculated, Viktor's score had surpassed Fleur and Cedric. After the score was tied, his face looked much better, and he turned to look expectantly at the passage where the Warriors were entering.

The first event of the Triwizard Tournament is finally coming to an end. Only the second warrior of Hogwarts and the unexpected fourth warrior in this tournament is not on the stage.The Gryffindor area became quiet unconsciously. Cedric had completed his challenge. Now, it was up to Hermione Granger!

Ron looked at the Warriors' entrance and exit with a pale face. After watching Cedric, Fleur, and Krum fighting the fire dragon, he no longer had those immature thoughts. But, what about Harry, why did he keep Not there?
Hey!
At this time, there was a burst of exclamations on the scene. Ron quickly turned his head to look, and finally saw the opponent Hermione was about to face.

Chinese Fireball - the only fire dragon in the East.

The appearance of this fire dragon is particularly eye-catching. The smooth scales all over its body are scarlet. It has a lion's nose on its face, a circle of golden tassel-like spikes around its nose, and bulging eyes.The size of the fireball is much faster than the Hungarian Horntail that just retired. It only weighs about three or four tons. It seems to be much easier to deal with, but——
No matter how easy it is to deal with, it is still a fire dragon!

Why was this fire dragon led by Charlie alone on a chain? ? ?
