DNF Meets Harry Potter

On the long Gryffindor table, Harry, who had suffered from insomnia all night, was sipping oatmeal in a bowl listlessly with two huge dark circles under his eyes, and sighed from time to time.

His abnormal situation naturally attracted Hermione's attention. The little witch was a little strange. Didn't she be fine last night? Why today it seems like she missed an O in the final exam, but she knows that Harry can't get an O...

"Harry, why are you so sad? What happened?" Hermione took two sips of pumpkin juice with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Hagrid asked Carl and me to go to his place last night, you would never have imagined what I saw there..."

Harry sighed, smoothed out his unkempt hair listlessly, and then lowered his voice and gave Hermione a brief overview of what he had seen last night.

After hearing that extremely dangerous word, the little witch's eyes widened in an instant.

"Are the Ministry of Magic crazy?!" Hermione screamed. "That's..."

Just when she couldn't help but say that word, Harry hastily tugged at the hem of her clothes. Stop her crazy behavior. Although the warriors from the three intelligence colleges probably already know about it by now, the audience is still in the dark.

"Merlin!" Hermione took a deep breath, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "That's a hatching fire dragon! They actually want you to take its eggs!"

"But what can I do? The contract of the Goblet of Fire is unbreakable, and I can't change anything..."

Harry rubbed his face worriedly, not even in the mood to eat breakfast, just stirring the oatmeal in the bowl with a spoon with blank eyes.

"By the way, what about Carl? Didn't you just say that he didn't go with you last night? What does he think about it?"

Hermione looked over the long Ravenclaw table, and soon found Karl who was enjoying breakfast with a relaxed expression. He didn't look flustered at all, as if he didn't take what he saw last night to heart.

"It was already very late when we came back yesterday..." Harry paused, organized his words, and then said slowly: "He said there is something to talk about today..."

"Then hurry up, why are you still standing there? Class is about to start!" Hermione anxiously grabbed his clothes and dragged him towards Carl.

"Hey, I can walk! Don't be like this..."

Hermione's sudden jerk made Harry stagger and nearly fall, so that he managed to regain his footing.

When Carl wiped his mouth and glanced at the timetable, and was about to go to the classroom early to take up a seat, when he raised his eyes, he saw Hermione walking quickly in his direction with an anxious expression on his face.

Of course, she was followed by a scowling Harry.

"Good morning!" Carl greeted the two of them with a smile, "It's getting late, let's go to the classroom together? It just so happens that the first period is Transfiguration class, we can..."

"Of course! It's better to come to Professor McGonagall's class earlier!"

Seeing Carl's sure victory, Hermione finally showed a smile on her worried face. She thought that she could discuss with Carl on the way how to get Harry through the first hurdle safely.

"But..." Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione stared back instantly. He looked aggrievedly at the dining table where food was still pouring out, and finally had no choice but to pick up his books and follow.

The two of you are full, but I just had two mouthfuls of porridge. I'm super hungry!

But he didn't dare to say this in front of Hermione now, otherwise he felt that he might die socially.

"Having said that, are you two really sure that the first project must be related to fire dragons?"

In the empty corridor with few people, Hermione whispered. She still couldn't believe that the Ministry of Magic would use dragons to test warriors.

"Exactly four! You can't be wrong!" Regardless of the protests in his stomach, Harry said firmly.

"It's impossible for the Ministry of Magic to bring dragons from Romania to Hogwarts just for viewing..." Carl nodded in agreement.

"That's too bad!" Hermione looked a little annoyed after receiving the affirmative reply from the two, "It will kill you if you are not careful!"

"It is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to put the warriors and fire dragons in the same closed space, that would be too dangerous, and their intelligence is not bad, if something happens, the referees will never be able to rescue them in time!

So the Ministry of Magic should make some restrictions, such as tying them to a specific range of activities or something. I see that the iron chains tied to them last night didn't seem to be so easy to untie..."

Karl recalled it carefully, it seems that in order to ensure the safety of the warriors in the original time and space, the fire dragons were all chained and imprisoned in place.

The first three warriors finally got the golden egg after repeated trials on the verge of death.

Harry alone was the most unlucky—the Hungarian Horntail he was facing was so fierce that it tore off the chain and chased him all over Hogwarts.

"But that doesn't work either! How strong is the fire dragon, what if it breaks free?!"

Hermione is so outspoken, sometimes with a little crow mouth attribute.

"..." Hearing this, Karl turned his head and gave her a strange look. You are the great prophet, right?

Trelawney is ecstatic!

"If it's really bad luck, there's nothing anyone can do about it..." Carl spread his hands helplessly, "After all, you might choke to death even if you eat~..."

"Then the framework of the competition is now very obvious!" Harry took out a notebook aside to write and draw, "The fire dragon will be bound and can only move within a certain range. The warriors need to take them out Protected dragon eggs!"

"Yes, that's it!" Carl nodded with satisfaction, and the two of you finally understood.

"Then it's so much easier! I thought the Ministry of Magic wanted you to fight dragons head-on and take their eggs!"

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and then combined in her mind the pile of magic books she had read before, chanting words, and one method after another was repeatedly rejected by her.

"Do you think the Flying Curse will work? Just fly the dragon egg with one hand, and then the fire dragon will just watch and let us pass!"

Harry's eyes lit up, he was not idle just now. He remembered that when he was fighting Voldemort in the first grade, Carl rescued him from Voldemort's claws as soon as he sent "Harry Fly".
