Ravenclaw's Celebration
Harry's head was full of mush.
Dumbledore's words still echoed in his heart.
In particular, a bit of knowledge that Dumbledore inadvertently revealed.
That means Magic Array can also be broken down into a spell.
If that's the case, then Professor Riddle achieved this result through the Original Sin Severance.
It can also be achieved by deciphering the magic Magic Array within the Unicorn's body.
Although Harry didn't know how powerful this was.
But Professor Riddle, who can be considered another Voldemort, is extraordinary because he reformed himself, deviated from the path of magic, and had to temporarily disappear every Saturday and Sunday.
This made Harry a little curious.
However, what impressed him most were not these discoveries.
Instead, it seemed that Dumbledore left him with a problem after each lesson that he couldn't solve at this stage.
Some of these cases may take a normal wizard's entire life to achieve the desired result.
Dumbledore's words seemed to be instructing him on how to pass the time.
And then there's that so-called eternal topic.
Is he truly immortal?
After the years have passed and Ginny, Ron, Draco, and all those he knows have faded away, can he really maintain the same mindset?
The thought of them leaving is unbearable.
Harry was jolted awake to find himself standing before a wooden door with a bronze eagle ring.
He barely noticed where his feet had taken him.
Which is more precious, what you can't have or what you've already lost?
"None of those are precious; what's valuable is what we have now."
"Well said," said the eagle-shaped door knocker, and the door opened immediately.
Then came deafening cheers.
The lounge was more crowded than ever before. He could barely spot Ron and the others in the throng.
Countless parchment scrolls, each inscribed with a spell and corresponding tips, were stuffed into his arms by countless hands.
Meanwhile, besides the congratulatory messages that Harry had almost memorized, there were also various questions.
"Harry, where did you go?"
"I noticed that the only two people who went into the room and didn't come out were Dumbledore and you. Is he teaching you some unique magic?"
It even includes information about each Champion.
"I've tracked every school that had potential Champion students. Except for the one from Beauxbatons, I've bet on all the others!"
"Me too! But I bet on Durmstrang wrong. Krum, Quidditch world star, is so ostracized. I thought he was only good at Quidditch!"
"Here, this is all the information we've gathered." Then, another stack of parchment appeared in Harry's arms.
On the surface, someone who didn't know better would think he was pregnant.
Of course, besides these, there are also direct predictions of exam questions.
Most of them connected the team competition of the First Task with the individual competition.
They all guessed that the War Magic in the team competition was used on the Champion.
With so many wizards using the same spell, the blessing it brings must be incredibly powerful.
Moreover, some students whose families work at the Ministry of Magic have noticed that all departments under the Division for the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control are busier than usual.
Therefore, the challenges to overcome in the competition are more likely to be Care of Magical Creatures than magical traps.
So they even came up with some 5X (animals known to kill wizards/animals that are impossible to tame or subdue) Care of Magical Creatures that could be called terrifying.
The fire dragon, which occupies the most space, is naturally among them.
They all recommended the Conjunctivitis Curse.
Because the dragon's eyes are its weakest point.
This is a spell that makes your opponent's eyes conjunctivitis.
The eyes are often a vulnerable spot for powerful animals.
It might also be effective against other level 5X Care of Magical Creatures. Besides the Acromantula with its many eyes, there's also the Basilisk mere gaze can bring death to others.
However, regarding the Acromantula...
They can exploit their fear of Basilisk: they have a 360-degree field of vision and cannot close their eyes.
Use spells that require the user to be looking at the target.
However, it cannot be Conjunctivitis Curse that directly targets the eyes. Instead, it must be magic that acts directly on the target through the gaze, similar to the Basilisk's gaze.
The Malicious Hex was the simplest and easiest spell they recommended to Harry.
It belongs to the Hex (poisonous curse) category in the classification of spells.
It's just one step away from being a Curse, or Dark Magic.
However, it is relatively simple to implement.
It's just at the level of Jinx (curse).
However, the incantation must be performed continuously, and so must the gaze.
If either of them fails to keep up...
The Malicious Hex will cease their evil deeds.
As for the Basilisk, they believed it was unlikely.
This is too dangerous for the other students.
The information Harry and the others were given in that room. Dumbledore also mentioned it outside.
So they also knew about the live stream.
For live streaming, Basilisk whose destructive power cannot be controlled is not suitable.
The Nundu was ruled out for the same reason: it possesses a highly venomous breath with a wide range of effects, just as dangerous as the Basilisk's death gaze.
It can destroy an entire village in a short time. It would take at least a hundred wizards working together to subdue it.
Among the other 5x Care of Magical Creatures, the Manticore and Chimera have excessively high single-target damage.
Using it as a prop in a competition is too dangerous.
The Catoblepas is too fast. Combined with its abilities of Legilimency and hypnosis, it's virtually impossible for it to be caught.
The Horned Serpent's reputation doesn't quite match its fighting prowess.
Except for a type of Horned Serpent in the Americas with a gem on its forehead.
The remaining individuals can only be roughly classified as between 3X and 4X.
Because of the horns on their heads, Horned Serpent in Western Europe were hunted to extinction by wizards searching for ingredients for Potions. Now they are mostly found in North America.
As for the Quintaped and Werewolf, they are divided into 5X because they are accustomed to living in groups. Individually, they are not that great.
The former is due to the habit of eating people.
The latter is due to its terrifying contagiousness.
The last Lethifold. Its only weakness is the Patronus Charm.
It's also unlikely to be included as a competition item.
This is too unfair to wizards who don't have Patronus.
It wasn't exciting enough either.
In conclusion, they all believe that the fire dragon is the most likely candidate.
Harry was very surprised by this.
However, this also reduced my sense of guilt.
Because of the guilt of knowing the details of the competition in advance.
Champion from other schools should also be able to guess it's a fire dragon with the help of other students.
In a quiet corner of the crowd, Ryan smiled slightly as he sipped a steaming cup of black tea.
Harry's face clearly showed everything he was thinking.
Other schools aren't as reliable.
In the original timeline, they relied more on cheating.
And Hogwarts.
Gryffindor's first thought after producing the Champion was not to work together.
Instead, they held a celebration.
I ignored it after that.
Hufflepuff is similar.
There's simply no one like Ravenclaw who mobilizes the entire academy to brainstorm and help the Champion.
However, it's also possible that they are too honest.
The competition requires that Champion must not ask for or accept any help from their teachers while completing the competition events.
The focus here is on the teacher.
Instead of refusing help from others
After getting my nucleic acid test done this morning, I went to catch up on my sleep.
I need to buy supplies for the week on Saturday, so I'll try to avoid going out.
This resulted in a slightly late update.
There will be another update before midnight.
PS: Thanks to Guiji for the monthly pass and to all the other students for their recommendations and subscriptions!
