Fleur Takes the Lead

In the center of the stone platforms linked by orange-yellow silk threads, the Veela once again began their dance.

Music began to play, accompanied by their heavenly voices, "We stole your most beloved treasure."

You only have one hour.

However, this time, they no longer looked so alluring.

Although her every smile and frown was still captivating, it was further enhanced by the music and her beautiful singing voice.

But the alluring dance moves no longer possessed the captivating magic that made people lose their senses.

Even the images on the screens in the arena shifted away from Veela once again.

It was divided into four parts again.

They gathered around the Champion and the Fire Dragon.

Accompanied by two loud "up" sounds.

The brass-colored Milu Vipertooth and the Hebridean Black Dragon spread their wings and flew upwards.

No, there's also a fire dragon.

It's those Opaleye that shimmer like rainbows in the sunlight.

Phoebe did not give any commands.

She seemed to control the fire dragon in some unfathomable way.

So much so that it flapped its wings at full speed and flew towards the track.

Krum and Ilvas's, on the other hand, seemed a bit constrained, and their flight wasn't smooth at all.

Like stop-motion animation, frame by frame.

Each change of direction must be carried out only after the corresponding command is given.

So even riding the two fastest fire dragons.

Krum and Ilvas were still more than a step too late for Phoebe.

As the two of them were adjusting their angles and preparing to enter the track, Phoebe had already ridden the Opaleye into the leftmost lane of the track.

As she entered, the orange lines that marked the track turned abruptly dark blue where she passed.

Mr. Weasley, seated on the judging panel, then announced loudly, "Every track in our race is enchanted."

It will remember the identities of the fire dragon and the Champion who entered.

So I'm reminding you of this here.

Other Champion shouldn't even think about entering a certain track.

After you fall from the sky, remember to find the track you started on. Mr. Weasley paused.

Looking down at the field below, "But we've also been paying attention."

Our youngest Champion has yet to set off.

He seemed to be casting some kind of spell.

Dumbledore chimed in, "You may not know this."

We gave it to the Champion's Fire Dragon Toy.

There's also a hidden magic.

It seems Harry found it.

The chatter that had been aroused by Harry remaining motionless in the stands and behind the television screens gradually subsided.

Then it boiled over again.

It was full of words of praise.

Based on the Champion's actions earlier, Fire Dragon closed his eyes.

In addition, Dumbledore said that only dragons would not be affected by the reduction of Veela's charm.

As most viewers guessed, too many Veela gathered together might also affect the dragon.

Furthermore, they also guessed the true nature of that magic.

Perhaps it's related to making the dragon resist Veela's charm.

However, this has led some viewers to speculate that Phoebe, who is currently at the forefront, may have also found the magic.

She wasn't affected by the Veela's invisibility before; perhaps it was then that she cast that spell.

Then, at the referee's signal, she can ride away on the fire dragon and take the lead.

As a result, many commentators emerged from the stands at this time.

However, in Ryan's opinion, Draco, who was chatting away with Pansy among the group of Slytherin, was more reliable.

Did you notice?

Before the start of the match.

What did the organizers deliberately show us?

That is:

The ranking of speed when the dragon is undisturbed and the terrifying charm of Veela.

The conclusion is that the smaller the dragon, the faster it is.

In this match, there is no doubt that Castelobruxo's Ilvas has the greatest advantage.

But this doesn't make sense.

Because in the first individual match, the only threat posed to the wizard was...

Peruvian Vipertooth is not the largest.

On the contrary, it was Harry's Hungarian Horntail, which was the slowest.

This arrangement is simply not balanced enough.

I think there might be many magical traps on those stone platforms in the racetrack.

I believe that these traps are actually vulnerable when they are small.

That makes sense.

This might also test the Champion's magical skills.

"Wait, what's that?" Draco exclaimed.

Because the other three Champion have not yet flown to the first stone platform and triggered any potential magical traps,

The students, who had been focused on the explanation, suddenly looked up at the screen in mid-air.

In the bottom right corner, on the screen that belongs to Harry.

Harry, riding atop the Hungarian Horntail of the Zhengling, opened his eyes.

His eyes had turned into bright yellow beast eyes!

For some reason, Snape, who was sitting in the front row of Slytherin's section, let out an undisguised roar.

However, nobody cared about him.

Only Dumbledore, perched on a half-white cloud, glanced at it.

But even Dumbledore quickly turned his attention to Harry.

He kept muttering, "Amazing. Truly amazing."

Then, something shocking happened.

Like the Opaleye of Phoebe Hungarian Horntail spread its wings and flew at full speed toward the remaining rightmost end of the track.

"Miss Phoebe Dracula seems to have taken a different approach than Harry."

Unlike the Hungarian Horntail, whose eyes remain closed.

Her Opaleye remained Winky open, sparkling and colorful.

Now Ilvas is right behind.

The Peruvian Vipertooth was indeed faster.

But our competition is not a pure speed race.

A series of magical traps await the four Champion ahead.

Harry's on the track!

The silk lines that marked his path turned black as he passed by.

Are they all the same color as the Champion's uniforms?

Attention everyone!

Miss Dracula is almost at the first stone.

The narrator here is Arthur Weasley.

As a commentator, he may have been motivated by his previous unprofessional performance.

I gave them a private training session.

Although it is still very immature.

But at least they will explain the content of the competition to those parts that viewers might not understand.

They will also specifically mention some competition design elements: such as the color changes of the silk threads, and what they are related to.

And Phoebe on the field.

While riding the fiery dragon and enjoying the breeze...

As she and the fire dragon approached the first stone platform, their speed suddenly slowed down.

It was like entering an invisible swamp.

It became even more difficult for the fire dragon to fly.

Moreover, the stone platform next to her also began to move parallel to the flight path of the fire dragon.

Looking at the Veela posing seductively on the stone platform, she frowned in disgust.

Then he turned his gaze to the keys next to the stone platform.

The situation is clear: she should probably jump onto the stone platform.

And among those flying keys, perhaps lies the secret to breaking the 'mud' that shrouds the fire dragon.
