Things Impossible to Do Alone

"Could there be some kind of restriction?" Harry thought of a question. "Like... can we bring all of them into the arena?"

"I mean Flying Broomsticks... and those magical plants you prepared... can we bring all of them in?"

"I asked my father to look into it..." Draco replied. "The only thing Champions are actually allowed to bring into the arena is their wand."

"But we can use our wands to summon the things we need... getting what we need that way won't violate the rules."

"That means there's one spell we absolutely have to master..." He looked at Cedric and Harry. "You both know the Summoning Charm, right?"

Under Draco's gaze, Cedric and Harry both nodded.

"But if we do it that way... we can only summon seeds packed inside boxes, right?" Cedric analyzed. "No wonder you said we'd need potions working alongside magic."

"That's exactly what I had in mind." Draco nodded. "Seeds have another advantage—they're less likely to be noticed by a dragon."

"Venomous Tentacula venom can affect dragons, so a dragon would be wary of it... But if it's just seeds, it'll be much less suspicious."

"But dragon scales are so thick. Venomous Tentacula..." Harry paused, then grasped Draco's specific plan. "You're planning to throw it into the dragon's mouth?"

"Exactly!" Draco raised his brows, a flicker of pride in his eyes. "We can make use of Flying Broomsticks for that."

"But you just said... they might ban Flying Broomsticks." Harry said. "Even though we can summon anything with our wands..."

"What if they hold a discussion like this one and come up with new rules, such as banning us from summoning certain things—like Flying Broomsticks? What then?"

"This..." Draco was momentarily speechless. He had not considered that possibility when he came up with the plan.
