Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)

Cedric’s hunch is right, the Antipodean Opaleye is relatively gentle by nature, but with a green eagle constantly provoking her first, and then a leopard after that, she couldn’t stand it no matter how good-tempered she is.

But before she could do anything, a burly wizard ran up to her feet, though he is not small, it still depends on who he is compared to.

She stuck out her claw to crush him, but he morphed right in front of her eyes, turning into an African elephant that is half her size, and then accelerated rapidly towards her. A long tusk struck against her scales, and the tremendous amount of momentum knocked her slightly out of position, and the next thing she knew there was a sharp pain in the joint of her wings–

That thing stepped on ME!

The Antipodean Opaleye slumped down as the elephant added more force, first by furiously stomping on the dragon’s head, snuffing out the flames that were still brewing, and then jumping onto the vulnerable wing and trampling it repeatedly.

Dragon Egg? She is no longer concerned with the dragon egg, the great her now wants to tear apart this large elephant that appeared out of nowhere, with one bite at a time.

“Eliphandy! It’s time to withdraw!”

The female warrior from Uagadou shouted, reverting from her leopard form to human form and holding the dragon egg in her arms, but Eliphandy got trapped, one of the dragon’s claws gripping his elephant leg with a death grip, the magic glow on the elephant leg kept flickering and then quickly became dim, the previous protection magic is rapidly weakening.

The green eagle in the sky swooped down and saw in his sight that the broomstick-riding wizard who had been cooperating with the burning Fire Phoenix suddenly disappeared, he didn’t think much of it, as he reverted to his human form and cast a quick spell in the moment of falling –

Conjunctivitis Curse! It is the same strategy as Krum’s, only his action is riskier.

There were gasps from the grandstand, and it looked like he is about to fall to the ground –

But at the last moment, he quickly morphed in the air, wings flapping, brushing against the surface and pulling his body up, twisting his head in an arc in midair to observe the results of the battle.

The effect was minimal!

Opaleye howled in pain, flames spewed out indiscriminately, and Cedric’s group went far away to avoid it, happily leaving the venue with the dragon egg.

Uagadou’s other side, Harry, Ron, and Hermione relied on the speed of the firebolt, illumination’s blindness, and the golden fire bird’s undaunted sacrificial attack to annoy the Hungarian Horntail, which made her take a few steps forward, with one foot out of the dragon’s nest.

Harry seized this opportunity, as he directly used the Apparition – this is already inside the forbidden forest, not influenced by the school – his figure suddenly appeared at the Hungarian Horntail’s feet, as soon as he grabbed the dragon’s egg, his feet stomped on the ground to fly away with the help of the broom.

But a spiky tail swept over, Harry gritted his teeth, holding a firebolt in one hand, and the egg in the other hand, he used the Apparition again. When he reappeared, he was already standing next to Ron and Hermione.

Ron struggled to control the pillar of light in his hand to blind the Hungarian Horntail’s eyes, Hermione’s face is drenched in sweat, and her eyes could barely stay open, “Let’s get out of here!” Harry shouted, he noticed his shoulder scraped with a bloody gash, he could not remember whether this was the result of the sharp spikes on the tail of the Hungarian Horntail or the Apparition Splinching, but he just kept urging them to move forward.

The trio kept stumbling forward, but a blue flame came from the diagonal, Ron lunged forward, and they dove into a deep pit, watching the blue flame sweeping overhead with palpitations, “Th-at was closee.” Ron said.

Waiting quietly for a moment, Harry tried to lift his head to look. “Don’t!” Ron stopped him, “The dragon up there is crazy, we can leave through the ground!” So they began to chant a Gouging Spell to dig a hole through the ground. The trio was not slow, so they soon dug out a tunnel.

“Almost there.” Ron gauged.

They raised their wands upwards, and the ground broke open with a large hole, and when they looked up, they saw Dumbledore’s smiling face peering from the judges’ gallery.

Harry climbed out somewhat sardonically, grimacing and feeling a bit humiliated; they are probably the first champions who dug a tunnel, right?

“You have done well.” Dumbledore said, ” being the second to succeed.”

“But Uagadou …”

“Ah, they ran into a bit of trouble.” Dumbledore said.

At the venue, Uagadou’s champions did run into trouble, that transfigured African elephant is firmly grasped by the Opaleye, what’s even scarier is that she has broken free from the spell’s effect and focused her head on her prey.

The other two champions are totally helpless, they waved their hands and recited a spell, but the Dragon just swayed her head, and the spell hit her circular scales, similar to a mosquito bite, without much effect.

The Antipodean Opaleye opened her mouth and the flames gathered into a great mass, this time the flames in her mouth became even more vivid in colour, and they seemed to have heard the sound of magma flowing –

“Thumb!” A blazing red light came down from the sky and hit Opaleye squarely in the head.

“It is the safety officer who stepped in and judged that Uagadou’s champion was in a death threat – he stopped the dragon, which will likely impact their score – Uagadou was the second team to get the dragon’s egg after Hogwarts! But this blunder might affect their ranking!” Bagman explained loudly.

Other staff on the scene quickly approach, the red light dissipated, the Antipodean Opaleye has fainted, and with that, the elephant went back to its human form. A lot of skin on his body is burned, looking very frightening.

“Beware, in addition to the flames, the strength of the dragon is also incredibly great, few magical creatures can rival it.” Bagman said as an afterthought.

“That’s very nice to hear.” Near the grandstand, Ron grunted in dissatisfaction.

There are still three teams left at the venue, Beauxbatons, Ilvermorny, and Durmstrang. After a few minutes, the situation became clear –

Beauxbatons’s three champions, Fleur is obviously their main force, their strategy is to rely on her magic to hypnotize the green dragon, then one will protect, and the other will quietly get the dragon egg. But the problem is that these three teams are close to each other, so the other two are affected by the Ilvermorny team in the middle.

Durmstrang’s situation is a little better at this point, Krum seized the opportunity to hit the dragon’s eyes twice in a row, making it completely crazy. However, the problem they encountered was how to retrieve the shattered pieces of the dragon’s Egg from under the feet of the frenzied dragon.

They weren’t sure if they should continue, the task was to bring back the egg and escape from the dragon without any problems. And now that the egg was broken, they felt they had to get at least one or two of the larger pieces back.

But in addition to dodging the frenzied dragon, they had to watch out for the black whirlwind of flames that kept expanding more and more – magic that the Ilvermorny’s champions no longer seemed to be able to control, nevertheless they kept the magic running strong.

“Byers, don’t stop me!” Victor Graves shouted laboriously, “If you can’t get the dragon egg, then let’s stop others from getting it.”

Byers turned red and didn’t say anything, just silently fought with Graves for control of the magic.

The biggest problem for the Ilvermorny was that they lacked a way to get close to the dragon, and at the same time, their magic is not powerful enough to completely defeat the Hebridean Black dragon. The black dragon could also see this, so she just breathed out flames from afar, and looked at them with a pair of bright purple eyes.

Every now and then, she showed off her spine by displaying a row of not deep but razor-sharp ridges, which, of course, implies warning in the wild.

The whirlwind laced with the black dragon’s flame became more difficult to control, and at this point, they were already riding the tiger.

Originally, they wanted to use the Might of powerful magic to scare the enemy, who knew that the enemy would simply not care about it. Graves was forced to come up with a crooked idea, which was to interfere with the other teams.

The three teams that were directly across him, which he could not reach, so he could only deal with the two close-by teams, so Beauxbatons and Durmstrang suffered from bad luck.

Karkaroff and Madame Maxime anxiously jumped to their feet and stared at the Headmaster of Ilvermorny, who had a serious face, a face that remained fixed for a full ten minutes, until Ilvermorny’s team completely lost control of their magic and a black rain of flame fell from the sky.

The Dragon Keepers and the staff of the Ministry of Magic stepped forward to protect them, but Durmstrang and the champions of Beauxbatons declined their help, and Fleur barely managed to extinguish the flames on her body and seized the opportunity to cast hypnotic magic again.

And at that moment, Durmstrang’s Krum also finally took advantage of the chaos to grab the two pieces of dragon eggs and stumbled out.

Only Beauxbatons’s champions were left on the scene.

The other dragons who had lost their eggs roared, making the venue even noisier. After several attempts, the Welsh Green’s eyelids drooped off but did not fall completely asleep, and if she had encountered this situation in the past, she would have continued to try.

But now only their team is left in the whole venue, as the captain of the team, her heart is burning with urgency. She winked toward her other two team members, but they were originally afraid of the dragon, so how would they dare to step forward when they saw Welsh green dragon sneezing loudly and spewing out a narrow flame.

With no choice, Fleur had to go on her own, she approached carefully, as the Hebridean Black and the Hungarian Horntail on either side tilted their heads to look at her; watching this everyone else broke out in a cold sweat for Fleur.

The grandstand fell into a dreadful silence, and Harry couldn’t help but admire the witch’s courage, even though she usually seemed rather proud and called him a little boy …

Felix hovered down from the high altitude, and when the Hungarian Horntail which had been interested in Fleur noticed him, she lowered her head to the ground and behaved herself. Felix scratched his head, wondering if it counted as interfering with the competition … but he didn’t anticipate this situation either, with only one team left, it made sense for him to focus on this side.

Finally, Fleur got the dragon’s egg and hurried back, the effects of the magic fading quickly as the Welsh green dragon sneezed loudly, eyes half-open, a small cluster of fire staining her clothes as she quickly recited the Extinguishing Spell.

On the way back, a wall of fire blocked her way, it is the Hebridean Black Dragon. The wisdom of this dragon is not that low, she merely stopped Fleur, and the Welsh green dragon finally got rid of the spell, and staring at Fleur with her huge eyes, the flame in her mouth is ready to be fired.

Fleur threw the dragon egg out, “Take it and take it away!” She shouted while holding up the shield charm.

The magical barrier melted like ice, she smelled the scorching smell of her hair, then a cold breath spread throughout her body, she saw a blood-red shield in front of her, looking up, Felix calmly extended his wand.

The dragon keepers stepped forward together, and chanted the Extinguishing Spell in unison, as the flames burning on the venue quickly extinguished.

“Well, the last team has finished the game! Although it is a pity, there is no doubt that they got the dragon egg, and this champion’s dedication might offset the minus point from the safety officer’s intervention … She looks a little injured, please send the staff to take her to the tent to receive treatment, and the judges need to discuss a little before scoring.”
