Old Blood at Hogwarts

On the way back to the castle, Aaron thought to himself: "The first project has to face a dragon. This is simply not something ordinary students can handle. No wonder the previous competition was suspended due to the high casualty rate. If everything I don’t know, it’s really dangerous to face the fire dragon directly on Tuesday. But now that we know it in advance and can prepare in advance, the risk is greatly reduced.”

After returning to the castle, Aaron went straight to the library and began to check various information about fire dragons.After all, if you want to deal with fire dragons, you must first understand them.

Through books such as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Raising Dragons for Recreation and Profit", "Fire Dragon Species in Britain and Ireland", "The People Who Dote on Fire Dragons", Aaron learned:

A fire dragon is a fire-breathing reptile with giant wings.It's both terrifying and stunning, and can be found all over the world.Due to their ability to fly and breathe fire, these creatures are the most dangerous and difficult to hide magical creatures in the wizarding world.There are more than a dozen different species of dragons, but they occasionally mate with each other, producing rare hybrids.But no matter what kind of fire dragon it is, the classification level of the Ministry of Magic is XXXXX.Female dragons are generally larger than male dragons, and female dragons are more aggressive than male dragons.The dragon's skin, blood, heart, liver and horns all have strong magical properties.Although the fire dragon skin can resist most spells such as the stun curse, it can still affect the fire dragon when cast by multiple people at the same time.Additionally, since the fire dragon's eyes are its weakest point, using the Eye Spell can effectively ward it off.

In addition, Aaron also focused on understanding the four dragons he will face in the game: the common Welsh Green Dragon, the Swedish Brachynosaurus, the Chinese Fireball and the Hungarian Horntail.

The Common Welsh Green Dragon, also known as the Welsh Green Dragon, is a native British fire dragon found in Wales.They generally build their nests on relatively high mountains and feed mainly on small mammals such as sheep.Their bodies are green and can blend in harmoniously with the dense weeds on the mountains, making them difficult to distinguish.This dragon remains the least troublesome of all dragons, actively avoiding humans unless provoked.Welsh Green Dragons are easy to identify, and their calls are very unique and, in some ways, even melodious.This fire dragon's flames shoot out from between the thin upper and lower jaws.

Swedish Brachysaurus is a species of fire dragon native to Sweden.Its scales are silvery blue, and the flames it shoots from its nostrils are also dazzling blue, capable of turning wood and bones into ashes in an instant.Compared to most dragons, Brachysaurus prefers to live in uninhabited areas.Because it rarely comes into contact with humans, it rarely causes human deaths.However, Swedish Brachysaurus is still one of the most dangerous fire dragons.

The Chinese Fireball, also known as the "Dragon and Lion", is the only dragon from the East.This fire dragon gets its name because it can shoot mushroom-shaped fireballs from its nostrils when angry.The appearance of the Chinese fireballs is particularly eye-catching. Their scales are scarlet and very smooth. They have a lion's nose on their face with a circle of golden tassel-like spikes around the nose. They have protruding eyes and weigh between two and four tons.Fireballs are aggressive by nature, but compared to most dragons, they are more tolerant of their own kind, and sometimes they are even willing to share a territory with one or two other fire dragons.The Chinese Fireball's diet includes most mammals, especially pigs and humans.

The Hungarian Horntail is a species of fire dragon native to Hungary.It is probably the most dangerous of all dragons.The Hungarian Horntail is covered in black scales and has a lizard-like appearance.It has yellow eyes and bronze horns, and its tail has spikes that are almost bronze in color.Its long, spiked tail can be an advantage in combat.The Hungarian Horntail is one of the furthest fire-breathing dragons, reaching distances up to 50 feet.The Hungarian Horntail is considered the most vicious and aggressive of the fire dragons.This fire dragon will also be more aggressive when protecting the eggs.The Hungarian Horntail feeds on sheep and goats, but will also eat humans whenever possible.

After reading the introduction of the four fire dragons, Aaron suddenly realized that on the surface, it seemed that four warriors and four dragons were very fair.But in fact, the dangers faced by different dragons are not the same.Although they are both fire dragons, the danger level of the Hungarian Horntail and the ordinary Welsh Green Dragon is obviously not on the same level.A warrior facing an ordinary Welsh Green Dragon is obviously more likely to pass the challenge and survive, while a warrior facing a Hungarian Horntail obviously takes more risks.

However, no matter what kind of dragon you face, the methods of dealing with it are actually the same.No matter what kind of fire dragon they are, their abilities are the same.Skin that is resistant to magic, a strong body, sharp claws and teeth, and fire breath.

And what does it take to fight them?The Eye Spell is the most effective spell to deal with dragons, and Aaron had mastered this spell in the first grade.If you want to avoid being harmed by fangs and claws, then the Iron Armor Curse is undoubtedly a good choice.The dragon also breathes fire, so maybe a quenching spell would work.Although the coma spell is generally ineffective against dragons, if the magic power is strong enough, it should also have an effect on dragons.In addition, other magic such as transfiguration, obstacle spells, and petrification spells may also have some effect.

At this time, there are only two days left before the first project is held.This little time is obviously not enough for Aaron to practice any powerful magic.And ordinary magic spells are of little use when facing the fire dragon.Therefore, what Aaron needs to do now is to sort out what he has learned and use this as a basis to design several strategies to deal with the fire dragon.

Time flies, and two days pass by in an instant.Soon, it was time to start the first project.

On this day, the atmosphere in the school was very tense and exciting.The challenge of the competition was scheduled in the afternoon, so all classes this afternoon were canceled to allow all the teachers and students in the school to have time to go to the field to watch the game.

At noon, when Aaron was having lunch in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall suddenly came over in a hurry and said: "Potter, Elf, now the warriors have to go to the field below... You must be prepared to complete the first step." project."

"Here you go." Aaron put down the knife and fork in his hand and stood up.

"Okay." Harry said and stood up, his fork clattering onto the plate.

Aaron and Harry left the Great Hall with Professor McGonagall.Professor McGonagall looked a little flustered. It was obvious that she already knew the contents of the project.She accompanied Aaron and Harry down the stone steps and out into the open air.

It was a cold November afternoon. She put her hands on their shoulders and said: "Okay, don't be nervous, keep a cool head... We have some wizards nearby, and if things go bad, they will come to us." The most important thing is to give full play to your own abilities. No one will think that you are inferior to others... Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Aaron said.

At the same time he heard Harry say: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Professor McGonagall led them around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where a tent had been erected at some point, with the entrance of the tent facing them.

"You must go in with the other two warriors." Professor McGonagall's voice was trembling, "Mr. Bagman is also inside... When it's your turn, he will tell you the steps... Potter, eh Good luck to you, Wolf."

"Thank you, I will succeed." Aaron's voice revealed confidence.

"Thank you." Harry said in a monotonous, erratic voice.Aaron noticed that he seemed to be in a trance, and that he seemed not ready to face the challenges that were coming.

Professor McGonagall led them to the entrance of the tent.Aaron and Harry walked inside.

Fleur Delacour sat on a low wooden stool in the corner.She was not at all as calm as usual, her face looked very pale and sickly.Viktor Krum looked sullen than usual, which was probably his way of showing off his inner nervousness.

"Harry! Aaron! That's great!" Bagman turned to look at them and said happily, "Come in, come in, relax, just like at home!"

Bagman stood among several pale warriors, looking like a big cartoon figure.He put on his old Hornets uniform again.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time to introduce the situation to you!" Bagman said happily, "After the audience gathers, I will pass this bag to each of you in turn." He raised it A purple silk bag was shaken at them, "You pick out the small model of the thing you are about to face from it! They have different... um... types. I have one more thing to tell you. ...Ah, by the way...your mission is to pick up the golden eggs!"

Aaron looked around.Fleur Delacour and Krum showed no reaction.Harry seemed to want to smile, but the muscles in his face moved awkwardly, as if they had forgotten how to smile.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of people moving around was heard outside the tent. They were the spectators who came to watch the game.They were all chatting, laughing and singing happily, looking forward to the start of the show.

Bagman opened the purple silk bag.He handed the bag to Fleur Delacour and said, "Ladies first."
