A day at Hogwarts

In the clear blue sky, the ball of light imitating the sun hung motionless, and the gentle breeze blew slowly over the castle.

In the garden under the castle, Charles sat on the grass, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, with his wand beside him.

There were many magic spells in the books in the study, and Charles took a fancy to "All Curses End". Flamel guided Newt Scamander and others to use this spell to protect Paris.

Before Harry and the others arrived, Charles used this to pass the time.

At the same time, Harry and his party had solemn expressions. In the distance ahead was a fast-flowing river, with a snow-white fire dragon crawling on the only bridge.

Dumbledore whispered: "I have only seen this kind of fire dragon in books. It has not appeared for thousands of years."

"Be careful with its breath, that blue flame can burn everything."

Harry asked him from the side: "Can we defeat it?"

Dumbledore replied: "We don't have a broomstick now, so we can't let it fly. We have to approach carefully and then make a sneak attack. There is only one chance."

"I have a plan..."

Before he could finish speaking, the fire dragon on the bridge raised its head and roared loudly, looking in the direction of everyone.

The magic mirror scratched its head and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that my reflection just now dazzled its eyes."

Just when the fire dragon started to fly, Artemis sat next to Charles with a plate, handed the plate over and said, "I made it, you have a try."

Charles smiled slightly. There were just simple biscuits on the plate. They were mixed with flour and milk and then directly kneaded into rounds, flattened and baked.

"It tastes good." He said after trying one. It was better than the first day's dinner where the meat was boiled in well water and then the meat and water were sprinkled with salt respectively to make one dish and one soup.

The indigenous people here have no sense of taste, and cooking and dining are more like rituals for them.

Artemis smiled when she heard Charles' compliment, her smile brighter than the sun in the sky.

She asked Charles: "Is there anything else you don't understand about this curse?"

Charles pointed to the content in the book and asked: "Flamey believes that 'All Curses' can intercept the Killing Curse, the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse. Is this true?"

Artemis put the plate aside and leaned over to read the contents of the book, her body close to Charles.

"LeMay's conjecture is reasonable." She began to explain to Charles, "The Iron Armor Curse has many transformations..."

Not far away, Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and cast an iron armor spell the size of a roof, which blocked the blue flames spouted by the white fire dragon, but the students all felt that the surrounding air was scorching hot.

"You all disperse and leave!" After Dumbledore finished telling the students, he glanced at the magic mirror and intuitively told himself that this was his own trial.

Seamus asked, "Want me to help?"

Dumbledore said to him seriously: "You are the last hope. Protect yourself now."

Seamus nodded and turned to the distance with the others.

Before leaving, the magic mirror said to Dumbledore: "It is the leader. If you defeat it, they will obey your orders."

Dumbledore nodded and began to concentrate on dealing with the fire dragon.

Over thousands of years, wizards have developed many ways to deal with fire dragons, and Lao Deng, as someone who has studied dragon blood, naturally knows this.

It's just that to deal with the fire dragon in the sky, you need space to deal with it. When fighting, you can't take care of your surroundings, which hinders your performance a bit.

Ron followed Dumbledore's instructions and ran to a nearby hilltop. Here, Dumbledore could be seen resisting the fire dragon's breath from time to time, and occasionally launching counterattacks, but those spells seemed to have no effect after hitting the fire dragon.

Now Lao Deng was fighting and retreating, and soon came to the river, looking a little overwhelmed.

Ron looked very nervous on the top of the mountain, biting his lip tightly with his teeth, and his palms were sweating.

Dumbledore held the eyebrow wand he had received when he first came here in his left hand, and the Elder Wand in his right hand kept dealing with the fire dragon. It seemed that he was in danger, but in fact he was able to handle it with ease.

He used the eyebrow wand from time to time, thinking that this thing must be of some use, otherwise Flamel would not give it to him. It has the secret mark of his work on it.

This wand seems useful, but the magic range it casts is very short, so it can also be used to cast iron armor spells.

Dumbledore suddenly felt that Flamel was playing tricks on him with this wand. This bad old man was so bad that he might be hiding somewhere now, waiting to see him embarrassed.

He was distracted from dealing with the fire dragon, but others didn't know it. Ron's heart was in his throat. He wanted to rush over to help several times, but he could only stop when he thought about his own level.

"You are longing for power." Princess Shui Tofu suddenly appeared behind Ron.

Her expression at this time reminded Ron of Professor McGonagall.

"My child," she continued, "there are many paths to power, but there are some paths that once taken, there is no turning back."

Ron suddenly stiffened and immediately acted like he didn't know anything and said, "What are you talking about?"

Princess Shui Tofu said: "You are all good children. Granger has a smart mind. Potter is brave enough to overcome all difficulties. Your two brothers have rich imagination and soulful minds. Longbottom has perseverance." It was enough to make up for his shortcomings, and Finnigan cleverly used his shortcomings to turn them into strengths.”

"You can think about it, what are your strengths?"

Ron thought for a moment, sighed, and replied: "Wizard's chess."

Princess Shui Tofu said: "You might as well think about what the wizard chess represents."

Ron's head was full of questions. He had never thought about this problem before.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Charles?"

Princess Water Tofu looked up at the sky, and after a long time said: "I heard Flamel talk about the history outside. Charles may become Dumbledore, or he may be the next Grindelwald. Which path he takes depends on his own choice. "

Ron's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting her to think so highly of Charles.

"Haha..." Suddenly the sneer of the magic mirror came from the side, "You are wrong."

Princess Shui Tofu asked unconvincedly: "Where did I see it wrong?"

Magic Mirror did not answer the question, but said: "We just experienced it for a long time, and we don't know everything."

"Ah, it looks like the winner is about to be decided."

By the river, the white fire dragon's flames burned several of Dumbledore's stone giants like melted ice cream.

After fighting for so long, it was also tired. The distance it breathed was much shorter, and its height from the ground was getting lower and lower.

The fire dragon swooped down again, raised its head and prepared to spray flames at Dumbledore.

Only this time was different, the target in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Dumbledore stopped playing, and a phantom "biu" appeared above the back of the fire dragon's head, preparing to cast a spell on its eyes.

At this moment, a flash of light flashed across his head. He threw the Elder Wand into the air with his right hand, held the eyebrow-level wand tightly with both hands, and hit the fire dragon's head with all his strength.

"boom!"

The sound the eyebrow-raising wand made when it hit the fire dragon's head was astonishingly loud. Dumbledore judged from the force of the rebound that it was not just his own strength.

Over there, Dumbledore had apparated back to the ground, beckoned, and the Elder Wand flew back into his hand.

When Harry and the others rushed over, they found the principal holding the brow-level wand thoughtfully, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

The white fire dragon woke up after falling into the water, and finally climbed to the shore, where it was crawling to catch its breath.

Magic Mirror said from the side: "What a gentle gentleman. He spent so much effort to lower the height of the fire dragon and lead it to the water, just to prevent it from falling."

Dumbledore just smiled.

Now everyone from Seamus to the twins understood that the principal actually defeated the fire dragon with one blow. He asked everyone to leave because he was afraid that they would be hit by the fire dragon. Later, he changed his mind and did not want to hurt it. Everything was under control from beginning to end. middle.

"Professor, you are amazing!"

The students had stars in their eyes.

Dumbledore said to them: "As long as the tactics are used correctly, simple spells can defeat powerful enemies."

"Professor," Hermione said, "can you go and give Charles a stick now and come back?"

Several people around him nodded in agreement at the same time.

Dumbledore smiled. These days, the magic mirror often shows Charles's leisurely life, while everyone is sleeping in the open air, and the students hate it.

Magic Mirror also came to join in the fun and said, "Let me see what Zayu is doing now."

It's just that after a while, everyone's reflections remained on the mirror, and Charles's shadow did not appear.

On the contrary, it was the magic mirror who stammered: "Then...that bastard fish...actually..."
