Where is this place?

This is Hogwarts! This is Dumbledore's territory!

Bell had no confidence that he could fool Dumbledore's Golden Eyes and get rid of those Fire Dragon without anyone noticing.

Those Fire Dragon weren't placed deep within the Forbidden Forest.

So, to be on the safe side, it's best not to provoke Dumbledore Xiaoping.

"Ugh~!"

Seeing that her Gege had given in, Shanna became unhappy again.

The young girl is now considering whether she should listen to Little Gabrielle's opinion, oust Hermione, and let Gabrielle's sister Phoebe take over.

While the group was chatting and joking around, the staff had already arranged the Fire Dragon and evacuated the competition venue.

As Ludo Bagman's voice, strained from his commentary, entered the arena, the first player stepped onto the field.

The first contestant to enter was none other than Cedric Diggory, Champion from Hogwarts.

Diggory strode confidently and proudly onto the field. He looked up at the spectators in the stands and waved. It seemed that Diego...

Oops, sorry, wrong channel.

Cedric's face was tense, and his knuckles gripping his Wand were slightly white. It was clear that he was extremely nervous about facing a Fire Dragon.

After the referee announced the start of the match, Cedric did not hesitate to use his Transfiguration, Transfiguration a stone on the ground into a large dog.

Clearly, Cedric's decisive actions showed that he had already known about today's match and had planned his strategy.

"Gege, why aren't they wearing Shield Charm ornaments?"

Seeing Cedric burned by the Fire Dragon's flames, Shanna looked at her Gege in confusion.

"Because the rules of the Triwizard Tournament stipulate that no magical items may be used during the competition."

Bell explained.

In his opinion, simply giving each of the participating Champion a specially made Defensive Trinket would reduce the danger of the competition by 90%.

Unfortunately, the staff at the Ministry of Magic clearly did not think so.

Perhaps in their view, only those who can face the danger of death are qualified to be called Champion?

Although from the moment Dumbledore sat down in the Judging Panel, the danger of death in this match was no longer present.

Of course, this is all predicated on Dumbledore being willing to take action.

After Cedric awkwardly bypassed the Fire Dragon's obstruction and obtained the Golden Egg located behind the Fire Dragon, the next to take the stage was Gabrielle's sister, Phoebe.

"Sister! It's you, sister! I'm here! Go, sister!"

As soon as Phoebe came into view, Little Gabrielle jumped up and cheered loudly for her older sister.

Seeing the little guy who looked like he was about to dash out at any moment, Shanna quickly hugged him to prevent him from accidentally falling off the stands.

Whether it was a telepathic connection between the sisters or not, even in the noisy and crowded place, Phoebe found her sister at a glance.

After waving to Gabrielle, Phoebe took a deep breath and looked at the Fire Dragon in front of her.

Her younger sister was watching her, so she had to show a cool side!

After battling the Fire Dragon for a while, Phoebe seized an opportunity and hit the Fire Dragon in the head with a Sleeping Charm.

Looking at the drowsy Fire Dragon, Bell's eyes lit up.

Normally, given the magic power within Phoebe, it would be impossible for her to defeat a Fire Dragon with a single Sleeping Charm.

Phoebe was clearly aware of this. So she took a different approach, incorporating her innate Allure Magic into the Sleeping Charm, thus successfully breaking through the Fire Dragon's magic resistance.

Even if the fact that the Fire Dragon was in poor condition was partly to blame, it is undeniable that Phoebe's Curses was truly remarkable.

At this moment, Bell had to admit that he had underestimated Phoebe all along.

Putting aside other aspects for the moment, just based on Phoebe's mastery of Curses fusion, the other three are no match for Phoebe in terms of Curses prowess alone.

Of course, it's not impossible that Krum, who will be playing next, will have an even more impressive performance. However, the possibility is very low.

However, a high level of mastery of Curses does not necessarily equate to high combat power.

For example, Nicolas. Bell estimated that Nicolas's mastery of Curses was no less than Dumbledore's, and might even be higher.

But in terms of combat prowess, Dumbledore would probably be a ton of Nicolas's men.

Phoebe, who is currently in the arena, is clearly a theorist. Although her mastery of Curses is superb, she is not good at fighting.

After the Fire Dragon fell into a deep sleep, and in a situation where it no longer knew how it had lost, the Fire Dragon simply snored and breathed out a few insignificant flames, which ignited Phoebe's skirt.

"So couldn't you just wave your Wand and scatter those Mars?"

Rubbing his ears, which had been tormented by Little Gabrielle's screams, Bell couldn't help but complain about Phoebe.

Fortunately, Phoebe hadn't completely lost her mind. She quickly summoned water to extinguish the flames on her dress, allowing Bell's ears to survive.

"Haa~!"

Bored, Bell yawned and decided to go back.

To be honest, in his opinion, the "intense" battles in the arena were not as captivating as the exaggerated facial expressions of the Little Wizard in the stands.

Speaking of which, why doesn't the Ministry of Magic do a live stream? It could be done so easily by simply setting up a few Personal Terminal.

It was supposed to be Triwizard Tournament, but the Little Wizard at Hogwarts were relatively fortunate; at least they could watch the excitement. However, the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were completely excluded from the event and could only watch in vain.

Bell, who was absentmindedly eating lamb skewers, was suddenly brought back to his attention by his younger sister.

"Gege, didn't you say that magical items aren't allowed in the Triwizard Tournament? Harry fouled by using Flying Broomstick, so why didn't the referees do anything?"

Shanna, feeling a bit bored, tugged at her Gege's arm and asked curiously.

"Well..."

Watching Harry fly rapidly above the competition field, Bell felt a sting in his face.

Looking at those incompetent referees, he hesitated, wondering whether he should step in and knock Harry off the field to maintain the fairness of the match.

Although this competition was far from fair from the start.

"Ahem, Shanna, the rules of the Magical World are just something to listen to, you know what I mean."

"Oh~!"

Shanna nodded, indicating that she understood.

Although Bell didn't know exactly what his sister had learned, at least he had preserved his authority as the Gege, so he didn't intend to delve into it further.

Finally, with Harry's scoring finished, this 'boring' competition came to an end.

Honestly, after watching today's game, Bell doesn't want to watch the next two.
