Let's Have a Bowl of Pasta

Every United Kingdom wizard has heard the story of Merlin.

Legend has it that he used powerful magic to summon Stonehenge, which fell onto Salisbury Plain.

The Merlin Memorial Hall still lies hidden beneath Stonehenge.

But few wizards know why Merlin summoned Stonehenge.

This was a magic he created to trap the two dragons.

William and Hermione were unaware of this, as Merlin lived far too long ago.

His story is long lost to history; most of it is just legend.

But the red dragon in the Goblet of Fire, one of the bound beings, knew this.

It also has to be said.

According to the magical contract of the Goblet of Fire: if one dragon escapes, the other dragon must inform the holder of the Holy Grail of this secret.

At the same time, help him recapture the escaped dragon.

Merlin used this backup plan to ensure that even after the dragon escaped the Holy Grail, it could still be restrained and prevented from wreaking havoc on the world.

Besides, the two dragons are mortal enemies; they both wish the other dead.

Even without the magical constraints of the Holy Grail, they would still tell you this.

I was trapped inside, while you escaped and are living a carefree life?

How psychologically unbalanced must that be!

The spell to trap the two dragons is extremely complex, like a ballad, and requires powerful magic.

Let alone Hermione, even William now can't do that.

However, the red dragon can use the Holy Grail to grant magic to its wielder, allowing them to summon Stonehenge.

The summoned stone certainly didn't come from the United Kingdom. It was thousands of kilometers away; even with the power of the red dragon, it would be impossible to summon it!

Therefore, all the Accio stones came from nearby areas, including various parts of Italy.

For example, Rome,

For example, in Rome...

Vatican

West bank of the Tiber River.

The cardinal, soaking wet and panting, lay down to rest on a huge rock on the shore.

He accidentally fell into the river because of the tremor.

The bishop could swim, but that was when he was younger. Now, he has high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and his kidneys aren't doing well either. He can only swim less than a meter before he can't go on.

That feeling of almost drowning is truly despairing.

"Hassan, thanks to you you saved me," the bishop said to a priest.

This is the young man who just risked his life to jump into the river and save him.

"Your Excellency, it's what I should do!" the young priest said modestly, waving his hand.

He was about to say something when he suddenly cried out in terror, "Ah, sir, be careful..."

"What's wrong, Hassan?" The cardinal wiped the water from his face.

He remained lying down, lecturing, "Maintain a calm and even aura!"

When faced with major events, remain calm and composed, do not panic, and maintain a peaceful mind.

When you pray sincerely, the Lord will bless you... He will appear and perform miracles.

Just like now, I didn't panic at all, because I knew I wouldn't drown.

What I just appeared to be shouting was actually not a cry for help, but a prayer.

As expected... the Lord sent you to save me.

Perhaps you haven't personally experienced this yet, but I have deeply felt that there is a divine will at work...

The cardinal suddenly stopped, feeling a sway beneath him.

Was there another earthquake?

"The stone... the stone you were lying on, it flew up!" the young priest exclaimed in horror.

"The Lord has truly appeared and performed a miracle..." He knelt down on the ground.

"Get out! There's gravity, how can a stone fly..." the cardinal shouted angrily, standing up.

"Trust science... no, I mean, trust our devout followers... Newton."

The bishop looked down and realized he was already four or five meters off the ground.

"Help!" he cried out in panic. "I'm going to fall and die!"

"Jump in quickly, Your Excellency," the young priest urged. "Jump into the river, I'll save you."

Looking at the rushing river, the cardinal stood up, then quickly lay back down.

That's so high, how can you jump?!

And the river...

It's very cold!

When he becomes pope, he'll definitely fill in the Tiber River!

Venice

As William pointed his wand at the sky, boulders continued to fall, forming a faint circle around the white dragon.

The river within Stonehenge surged and roared, with waves rising tens of meters high, yet not a single drop flowed into St Mark's Square; it was all contained within the stones.

The white dragon roared angrily, and as it unleashed its power, jets of water surged and scattered in all directions.

All the boulders were swaying and rocking, yet they neither fell nor overturned.

Such a shock caused most of the wizards to prostrate themselves on the ground, resigned to their fate.

The Auror who arrived again were also terrified and stopped, standing on one side of the square, not daring to approach.

But after watching for a while, they realized that the giant dragon was indeed trapped by the boy and girl!

Unbelievable!

"Minister, can wizards really do such a thing?!" an Auror asked in astonishment.

He thought he was doomed, but to his surprise, Stark and Granger pulled it off at the crucial moment.

"Of course." Minister Hewen suppressed his inner shock and tried to sound as nonchalant as possible:

"Let me put it this way, during the Battle of Paris, Grindelwald almost destroyed the entire city with a single curse."

Truly powerful wizards, true geniuses, possess terrifying power beyond your imagination.

It wouldn't be too difficult for them to destroy a city.

Auror couldn't help but ask, "And what about you?"

"Me?" The minister fell into deep thought.

He stared at William and Hermione's retreating figures in silence for a long time, then suddenly sniffed and asked in confusion, "What's that smell?"

"It's those Muggle on the ship; they saw the dragon trapped and are now cooking Italy."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Yes, I'll go stop them right now."

"Wait... Call more wizards to help, get them some hot water, then use a magic ship to take them to a safe place, and then modify their memories."

Auror nodded, then turned and left.

"Wait, give me a bowl too, extra spicy... yes, insanely spicy."

Also, give Stark and Granger a bowl of Italy.

They're fighting the white dragon, and it looks like they won't be able to defeat it anytime soon; they need to replenish their strength.

Auror left, while the minister remained standing on the shore, gazing at the two with a wistful expression.

This is the hope of the whole village!

We mustn't let them go hungry.

William and Hermione stood on a large rock, holding wooden goblets.

The blue-white flames danced in the goblet, and the faint sound of a red dragon could be heard.

"By placing the Holy Grail on its head, it can be re-bound within it."

"It's not easy to get close here, is it?" Hermione said loudly.

It's really hard to get close.

Stonehenge is now operational, and Apparition inside.

The white dragon was merely bound within it; its power remained. To get any closer, one would have to engage in close combat.

Fighting a 100-meter-long white dragon... Are you kidding me?!

"I will lend you all my magic," said the red dragon.

"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll run away immediately," William said.

It would be ideal to trap the White Dragon back within the Holy Grail. If that's not possible, we'll have to maintain the status quo and keep it confined in Venice.

Just like those wizards back then. They let the white dragon escape, but in the end, they couldn't bind the Holy Grail back to its source and were trapped underwater in Venice.

William took out the gondola and threw it into the river.

Hermione expertly took the driver's seat and started the engine.

William stood alone at the bow of the ship, the Holy Grail in his left hand and a magic wand in his right.

Flames swirled and danced, illuminating his entire body with a blue light!

"Walk!"

As his voice faded, Hermione floored the accelerator, and the small boat hurtled towards the white dragon that was churning and lurking in the water!

I've been really busy these past few days processing experimental data, which is why I haven't been able to update on time. Sorry everyone.

I'll try to write some drafts to stabilize my writing schedule.
