Harry was speechless.

Hagrid just revealed another piece of information.

That means the Second Task will use the fire dragon from the First Task.

They will be used as mounts.

The First Task event was War Magic. With its blessing, Champion and fire dragons faced off one-on-one.

The Second Task event is Alchemy.

Based on the courses taken during this period.

In their four Alchemy Class, the raw materials used to create the so-called clothing for Champion had the functions of reducing wind resistance, avoiding fire, slowing descent, and softening the body to reduce impact.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

The Second Task is aerial combat.

Even Ron saw through these things.

"Hagrid, is the Second Task in the air?"

A dragon knight! So cool!

Haha! Draco would definitely regret it if he didn't become Champion.

In response to Ron's words.

Hagrid then extended his right hand and slammed it heavily on his forehead with his five fingers together.

"You guessed right!" Hagrid couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Is this race a speed competition or something?

The Peruvian Vipertooth has the fastest flight speed.

If it's a speed race, being lucky enough to select it means securing victory in the Second Task ahead of time.

In combat, the Hungarian Horntail's fire-breathing range is the longest, around 50 feet. This is a significant advantage.

Harry's eyes gleamed with memories.

Ginny asked, half-admiringly and half-curiously, "What about the Hebridean Black Dragon and the Opaleye?"

"They're beautiful," Harry said.

"That's not fair!"

This is equivalent to two people participating in the Swedish Broom Race (a speed race in Sweden where pilots fly from Kopparberg to Arjeplog).

One used the latest Firebolt, the other used the ancient Comet.

Even if Harry was the pilot of the Comet.

"We're doomed to lose," Ron said.

His ears turned red again, but this time not from shyness, but from excitement—for the unfairness of the competition.

"You idiot," Ginny scolded her as harshly as ever, "Have you forgotten what the First Task was about?"

Subdue the fire dragon one-on-one.

Those who choose the Hebridean Black Dragon and Opaleye undoubtedly get a great deal on the First Task.

The only downside of the Second Task is that it's essentially just paying off debt.

Ron couldn't help but retort.

Ginny immediately retorted with a curse.

The two went back and forth, but Hagrid did not stop them.

Or rather, Hagrid remained silent after Ron guessed the Second Task correctly.

Harry asked curiously, "Hagrid, why haven't you said anything?"

"I'm not going to say anything now," Hagrid said dryly.

Clearly, he was afraid to reveal more information.

Hagrid's unusual behavior also piqued Ron's curiosity. "Hagrid, what is the content of the Third Task?"

Is it still a fire dragon?

The Third Task event is Group Potion.

Could the story be about Champion rescuing injured animals in the Forbidden Forest?

"I—know—nothing," Hagrid said, enunciating each word clearly.

Then he crossed his arms and glared angrily at the wall.

But Harry knew he was angrier at himself.

A silent stillness began to permeate the entire cabin.

Harry and Ginny blinked and looked at each other.

Ron, however, didn't dare to look up and could only play with his fingers.

They seemed to be playing a game where whoever spoke first would lose.

As Ron's stomach rumbled, Hagrid finally couldn't help but speak up.

"I almost forgot, it's almost noon. Diddy!" The House-elf that Harry had seen with Hagrid before appeared again.

But this time, without waiting for Hagrid's instructions, he said he was hungry.

Plates of food appeared on the table.

There was also a large pitcher of chilled Pumpkin Juice, plus four gold stemmed glasses.

Then the House-elf Diddy bowed to each of the four of them and then disappeared.

He walked very fast.

"I haven't asked Dobby yet!" Ron said.

But his gaze remained fixed on the food on the table.

Their hands eagerly reached for the knives and forks on either side of the golden plate in front of them.

Clearly, he was too embarrassed to start eating right away.

I want to say something to distract others.

However, Hagrid believed Ron's lies.

He looked at Ron and said, "House-elf usually take pride in solving everything without ever showing up in front of a wizard."

He wouldn't even have shown up if I hadn't called his name.

"What did you say?" Ron's mouth was already stuffed with meatballs.

"Eat your food!" Ginny glared at her straightforward brother.

"By the way, Hagrid. You asked us to come over sometime soon?" Harry asked, munching on his favorite Treacle Tart.

"I know, it's to show us the goal of the competition."

"Have the dragons already arrived, and are they in the Forbidden Forest?" Ron asked.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ginny almost instinctively. This gesture was exactly the same as Mr. Weasley's glance at Mrs. Weasley when she was angry.

Harry couldn't help but chuckle.

"Cough cough!" Hagrid choked on the Pumpkin Juice.

He looked surprised. "How did you know they had already reached the Forbidden Forest?"

And Ron.

Seeing that Ginny didn't react, he stood up triumphantly.

Holding a wine glass high above his head, he struck what he considered an elegant pose.

"Hmph."

I noticed the expression on your face when I was idly counting on my fingers.

The way you look at the wall is the same as how you used to look at the Norberta.

It's obvious that you were just pretending to be silent.

Actually, we went to see the dragon.

"Unfortunately, that's the only thing you guessed correctly." Hagrid snorted smugly. "I didn't call you here to show you the competition objectives."

I assured Dumbledore.

The details of the competition will be kept confidential.

Even Maxime is the same.

Ron: "But didn't we just guess that?"

Hagrid was speechless.

He turned his head away, avoiding Ron's gaze.

Looking at Harry and Ginny, she said, "Are you both full?"

Harry and Ginny, who had smaller appetites, nodded repeatedly.

Hagrid stood up. He put on rubber overcoats and picked up his stone bow.

He seemed not to hear Ron's words behind him, "I'm not full yet!"

Hagrid opened the door and walked to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, waving to Harry and Ginny to signal them to follow.

Harry and Ginny put down their knives and forks and jogged over.

Ron could only grumble and grab a few pies, then followed them.

Surprisingly, Hagrid did not enter the Forbidden Forest.

Instead, they walked around the edge of the Forbidden Forest and continued inwards.

After an unknown amount of time, Ron had finished all the pies in his hands, and the castle and lake had vanished without a trace.

Hagrid then stopped in front of a bush.

He walked around the grove of trees and went inside.

"What is this?" A fence appeared in front of Harry.

Thick logs were driven into the ground one by one, and slender yet resilient Unicorn tail hairs, gleaming silver, replaced hemp ropes to bind the logs together.

"You'll see when you get here," Hagrid said with a mysterious smile, leading them around to the left side of the fence.

There, there are stone steps made up of several irregular stones.

Harry and the others followed and climbed up.

"Look, what's this?" Harry and the others stood at the top of the stone steps and looked down through the fence.

Five saplings came into their view.
