"Harry, what are you bringing us here for? The match is about to start in a few days, and we haven't even figured out how to deal with the fire dragon! We can't waste any more time!" Hermione stood behind the open wooden door and scanned the room. Looking at the dusty floor and the corner of the room covered with cobwebs, he shook his head and said.
"I've already thought of a way, but I'm just not sure if I should use it." Harry explained, pushing the wooden door further open, and Hermione and Ron walked in.
"Ah." Ron sneezed as soon as he entered the door, his nose flushed. "What are we doing here? Hagrid hasn't lived here a long time ago. He lives in a much better place than here." This was Hagrid's hut not far from the Forbidden Forest.
"Of course I want to see me. Finding a hidden place is good for everyone." A tall figure happened to flash in from the door at this moment, and said briskly, with a very cheerful tone.
"Sirius!" Hermione and Ron shouted in surprise at the same time.
The pale golden sunlight in the afternoon shone obliquely on the man's face through the open wooden door, outlining his three-dimensional facial features.
This man is completely different from the one he gave when he just washed away his grievances. Before, he had a haggard face and a thin face, surrounded by long curly hair. Although he was tall, he also looked very thin. Now The Sirius is wearing a brown leather jacket that looks dry, with short hair, he looks very energetic, and his withered face has also regained its plumpness, as if he has returned to his youth.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, long time no see!" Sirius said with a smile, then opened his long arms and gave everyone a big hug.
"Also, Harry, I'm sorry, I didn't have time to reply to your two letters. I encountered some very difficult things those days, and I haven't had time to return to my temporary foothold. I also went to Hedwig's letter. It took a few days to see it, and then I had time to write back to you."
"Is it dangerous?" Harry asked hastily.
"Uh..." Sirius hesitated, but he still said, "I don't deny it."
Seeing that Harry still wanted to ask questions, Sirius interrupted him: "It's just some slightly risky things, don't worry about it, the top priority now is to solve the fire dragon you are about to face."
"Well..." Sirius pondered, and said with some regret: "If I had received the first letter in time, I should have advised you not to participate in this dangerous competition, but since you have participated, I am only proud of your courage." Proud." Sirius paused here for a moment.
"As for the fire dragon." He changed the topic: "The stun spell is an impractical method. The fire dragon is infinitely powerful and has very powerful magic power. It is impossible to be knocked down by a stun spell. It takes six or seven wizards to cast the spell at the same time. subdue a dragon... ”
The three of them nodded in approval at this time, which was consistent with the information they found.
"You can do it alone, though," said Sirius. "There's a trick, and you just cast a simple spell. You just—spell one spell at a time."
"What spell?" Ron asked anxiously, his eyes widened. He seemed quite curious about a spell that subdues a fire dragon.
"Eye sickness curse." He said softly.
"Eye Sickness Curse?" The three repeated the name of the spell.
"This spell can cause great damage to the dragon's eyes, and that is where he is most vulnerable." Sirius explained.
"But Harry probably won't be able to aim!" Ron said. They also thought about this similar idea, which was nothing more than using a spell to attack the most vulnerable eyes of the dragon.
"Of course it takes practice. The trajectory of this spell is quite fast. As long as it is issued, it can't be avoided even with the reaction speed of a fire dragon. The only thing to consider is the accuracy." Sirius said confidently, and he was very effective in his plan. confidence.
Afterwards, Sirius demonstrated the use of this spell for Harry several times in this room, but found that Harry did not master it very well, and the situation was not optimistic, but Hermione followed suit and achieved good results .
"Hermione, why didn't you cast a name into the Goblet of Fire at that time." Ron said enviously, he also tried, and his performance was worse than Harry's, the spell didn't even hit the target.
"I was still working on spew's ledger and promotion plan at the time, and I didn't have time to care about these things at all. If Harry hadn't participated in the competition, maybe I would have promoted it to the whole school now." Hermione pointed at her again at this time. A spell swung from the wall, hitting the practice target that Sirius had transformed for them, with a crisp sound.
"That's unlikely." Ron sneered a few times, not understanding Hermione's self-confidence for no reason.
"Spew? What's that?" Sirius asked suspiciously.
"That's..." Hermione beamed at the mention of this, and looked like she was about to start her own spontaneous "selling" plan again, but soon realized that this was not the time to mention it.
"It's nothing." Hermione said with a downcast expression, and suddenly remembered that the future of her organization was actually uncertain.
Including myself, there are only four members, and the other members do not agree with the purpose of the organization.
Let's put it on hold for now, Harry's safety is the most important thing now.
"I don't know if he received the letter." Hermione's thoughts suddenly drifted, and she was a little distracted. They were brainstorming here, but they still couldn't solve the problem caused by the fire dragon, and Malfoy just got a piece of paper. .
"Maybe he just thought it was a prank? Didn't he take it seriously?" Hermione couldn't help thinking bitterly.
"Hermione? Hermione?" Harry waved his hand out in front of Hermione, and he noticed that she was distracted.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Hermione came back to her senses.
"Okay, I've already taught Harry the spell, you can practice it after you think about it, and I'll remind you now, you have to be careful of the headmaster of Durmstrang." Sirius looked at him before saying this. After looking around for a while, he walked over and closed the door of the room.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"That man was once a Death Eater," Sirius said seriously.
The three of them suddenly widened their eyes in shock, and remained silent for a while, their brains struggling to absorb a piece of sensational news.
"Well... We used to be inmates, and we were imprisoned in Azkaban together, if it is officially explained." Sirius now had a disgusted expression on his face.
"Of course, I don't want anything to do with that man at all." Sirius shrugged and said at this time.
"After being imprisoned in Azkaban, can people be released and become the headmaster of one of the three major magic schools in Europe? Can they lead their students to participate in the Goblet of Fire?" Hermione finally came to her senses. Her lips trembled slightly, and her tone of voice became more and more sharp.
This news is too difficult to accept.
