Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

However, what follows is a bit inappropriate for children.

Although Cheng Xiao had made some preparations, he felt that his preparations were still somewhat insufficient.

Harry covered his mouth as soon as he saw who it was.

I was afraid of making any noise.

Cheng Xiao had wondered before why Hagrid, who had nothing to offer, was so highly regarded by Dumbledore.

Now we've found the reason: it turns out to be a simple and unpretentious scheme involving a handsome man.

The dean of another magic academy must be incredibly powerful.

No wonder Dumbledore tried to win Hagrid over.

After some operations.

The two finally had time to talk.

Good evening, Orim.

"Good evening, Hagrid... I... I thought you weren't coming."

"How can it be!"

"You actually think of me as that kind of person."

"I thought you weren't coming. I thought you had forgotten me."

"No, no, no, how could I forget you, my beautiful Orim."

The expressions and actions of these two, along with the tender and affectionate lines from a Qiong Yao drama.

Harry and Cheng Xiao felt nauseous watching it.

Fortunately, the two eventually endured the cruel test.

"By the way, Hagrid, what do you want to show me?"

"You seemed very excited when you told me this before. Is something the matter? My dear Hagrid."

Hagrid nodded:

"You won't be disappointed, believe me."

Hegra took Orim's hand and walked deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

With Hagrid and Orim's formidable strength clearing the way, they broke through three magical barriers in succession.

The camp, surrounded by firelight, was reflected on their faces.

Looking at the creatures spewing fire, Orim finally understood what Hagrid wanted to tell him.

As the dean, his reaction was naturally quick, and he understood immediately.

"This is truly incredible news."

"So this is Hagrid's first project?"

"The first level of the Goblet of Fire?"

"Fire dragon?"

Seeing Hagrid nod, Orim thanked him again with his body and actions, and then left.

Only after confirming that the person had disappeared did Harry abruptly lift his cloak.

Excitedly asked:

"Hagrid, Hagrid!"

"This is the first level of the Goblet of Fire, one person against one fire dragon?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Hagrid's wistful expression vanished, and he shook his head seriously:

"Don't do that, Harry."

"Dragons are actually misunderstood. They are very magical creatures, and don't worry, these are not adults."

"Look, they're only the size of one room, so cute, and they're all children..."

Before Hagrid could finish his sentence, a piercing sound came from one of the cages.

Then a pillar of fire suddenly shot towards their direction.

Cheng Xiao pulled Harry back immediately.

Hagrid also dodged in a sorry state.

Seeing Harry's incredulous look, Hagrid explained:

"Ahem, sometimes I can be a little mischievous."

"But to be honest, of the four fire dragons, only the tree bee is difficult to deal with. Little Ron almost fainted when he saw it."

"The other fire dragons are relatively mild-tempered."

Harry paused for a moment, then turned around: "Ron was here?"

"So he knew the first challenge was the fire dragon?"

Hagrid nodded: "Of course, his brother Charlie brought these dragons from Romania... um..."

"Ron didn't tell you?"

Harry shook his head:

"No, Ron didn't tell me anything."

Cheng Xiao then asked:
"That's not important. Hagrid, you said there are four dragons?"

"But the problem is, aren't there five people now?"

What about the last one?

Hagrid patted his head:
“I remember Charlie saying that there are only four of these fire dragons available right now.”

"So a couple of days ago, Professor Moody proposed a method."

Harry looked up curiously: "What method?"

Cheng Xiao already had a bad feeling, but he still listened on.

"Professor Moody said that in ancient Eastern legends, dragons and phoenixes often appear together. Since we can't get all the dragons, there is a phoenix in Hogwarts."

"It's the phoenix of the Dumbledore family!"

Hear the fifth creature in the first level.

Harry's eyes widened.

Cheng Xiao, who was on his shoulder, reacted even more strongly.

The baby's body stiffened and straightened, and then it fell straight onto the muddy ground of the forbidden forest.

He looked like he was already "dead".

Cheng Xiao is now filled with regret...

I felt so regretful that my stomach was churning with bitterness.

What he didn't expect was that he was ultimately too late to act.

If only he had known this person would come up with this idea.

On the very first meeting, you should take advantage of their unpreparedness and use every means to kill this little bastard.

The fire dragon is just a creature that can breathe fire, fly, and has a stronger body; at best, it's a Western giant lizard.

But Dumbledore's phoenix, that is, the red parrot named Fawkes.

Although Zhan Lan initially guessed that it was just a magical creature with some phoenix blood.

But this person has demonstrated the ability to be reborn from the ashes.

Cheng Xiao didn't believe that such a creature was really just a scruffy parrot.

Having one percent of the phoenix bloodline is one thing, having ninety-nine percent is still having it.

It can be said that this is an existence with a high lower limit but an extremely high upper limit.

"No, it might not be me. We still have to draw lots!"

"Yes, it's a lottery; it's impossible to be that unlucky."

He muttered to himself, trying to comfort himself.

Cheng Xiao finally came back to life, dusted himself off, and calmly jumped onto Harry's shoulder again.

They completely ignored the strange looks from Hagrid and Harry.

Having come all this way, I figured I'd already made it.

Using the invisibility cloak's ability, the two observed the four fire dragons in each cage.

With Hagrid's help, she even managed to improve her favorability.

After saying goodbye to Hagrid late at night, the two returned to the Chamber of Secrets and began another training session.

Harry looked at Ron, who remained silent, and simply shook his head. Hermione was getting anxious watching the tension between the two.

Even Lupin and Black noticed the problem with the two of them.

However, they simply smiled at each other and did not interfere further.

Because they had experienced the same things back then.

Hermione initially wanted Cheng Xiao to explain, since Cheng Xiao knew from the beginning that the name in the Goblet of Fire had nothing to do with Harry.

Given the existence of Barty Jr., Ron will surely figure it out.

But Cheng Xiao remained unhurried as always.

the next day.

The Daily Prophet, which Harry had previously ignored, once again propelled him to the forefront of the media frenzy at Hogwarts, especially given the unprecedented five-way battle for the Goblet of Fire.

So much so that Harry didn't even realize it before he became the undisputed "rising star".

Looking at the somewhat intense gazes he'd received along the way, Harry couldn't help but ask the person perched on his shoulder:

"Brother Cheng, what exactly did the newspaper say?"

Why do they see me that way?

Cheng Xiao looked around: "Is there anything wrong? Wasn't it always like this?"

Harry quickly shook his head: "It seems a little different from before!"

As the two were talking, Hermione and Ginny appeared in front of them; Hermione was a little better off.

Ginny rushed at Harry as soon as she saw him.

Harry was left bewildered when a big hug came his way.

Hermione's eyes also revealed an undisguised sympathy and concern.

This is not finished.

"Ha...Harry!"

Harry turned around and saw Ron looking rather flustered.

"Ron?"

"what happened?"

"Are you ok?"

Harry was both amused and exasperated.

"Me? I should be fine."

"But what's wrong with you guys?"

Harry felt that something must be going on with Ron, who hadn't spoken to him for three days.

Dizzy and confused, Harry didn't manage to secretly get a copy of the Daily Prophet from the biting owl until noon, as it was already in short supply.

Upon seeing his own title, Harry felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

The headline on half of the newspaper cover made Harry feel that the world was full of malice.

There's no one better than a mother in the world!

"A monologue from an orphan."

"The End of an Era: Harry Potter."

Harry endured the intense unease and continued reading, only to find the book becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

So much so that when I finally saw that deeply moving classic dialogue, I was completely confused.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao was there. After carefully putting the newspaper into his spatial bag, he said:

"Ahem, none of that matters."

"Um, I have to go now!"

After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

It's hard to believe that a baby could run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Seeing this, Harry finally understood what was going on.

It seems like I've been set up?
Subsequently.

Let alone Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Even the students from the other two colleges who were hostile to him because they suspected him of cheating have changed their attitude.

The previous accusations of cheating have completely disappeared.

However, Harry thought of the fire dragon he had seen the night before, and after a moment's thought, he turned and headed towards a group of older students.

After a series of greetings and expressions of concern, he finally arrived in front of Cedric.

"Senior, may I speak to you in private?"

The person who was talking to his classmate nodded and pulled Harry towards the corner.

After confirming that no one was around, Harry quickly spoke:
"Four fire dragons and one phoenix—that's the first challenge: drawing lots. One for each person!"

Cedric was stunned for a moment, then reacted and excitedly grabbed Harry's arm, lowering his voice:
"you sure?"

Harry nodded, then turned and left.

Cedric caught up and shouted from behind:
"Potter, wait!"

"Are you alright with what the newspapers said about?"

"If you need any help, you can come to me."

"Thank you, it's really no problem."

Harry finished speaking to Cedric, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Before he had even left, the two heard a repulsive voice.

"Are you really okay, Harry?!"

The two looked up and saw that Malfoy had somehow climbed up the tree trunk and was watching them.

Malfoy said with a smile:

“You know what? I made a bet with my dad that you wouldn’t last ten minutes in the first round.”

As he spoke, Malfoy jumped down and, with a group of his underlings, walked up to Harry and Cedric.

"And do you know what he said in the end?"

He disagreed, because he said you could only last five minutes at most.

"Because, just like the newspapers say, you're just an orphan who wags his tail and begs for pity..."

Harry, who had been relatively calm, reacted as if to a stress response upon hearing the last sentence.

Before he could even utter the word "orphan," Harry strode up to Malfoy and forcefully slammed him against a tree trunk.

"I don't care what your father thinks, Malfoy!"

"You and your son are despicable and cruel, and you are utterly pathetic!"

After saying that, Harry turned and left.

But Malfoy, equally enraged, wasn't about to let Harry off so easily.

However, at the same time he drew his wand and pointed it at Harry...

A beam of light shone from the direction Harry was in.

Harry saw Professor Moody appear in front of him and immediately turned around to look at him, following the light.

Just then, Malfoy was hit by the beam of light, and after a brief moment of distortion in the air, he turned into a white mole standing on the ground.

Moody strode over and blocked Harry's path, waving his wand up and down.

Then the entire college corridor became lively.

The students gasped in surprise as they watched Malfoy, transformed into a mole, being tossed around in the air and then crashing to the ground.

As Moody toyed with the mole, he walked up to it and began hurling insults:

Do you know!

I have the utmost contempt for people who attack others behind their backs. They are dirty, despicable, cowardly, and resort to underhanded tactics!

"That's exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Oh, Professor Moody, what are you doing!"

Harry was startled to see Professor McGonagall suddenly appear beside him.

Moody didn't look at the suddenly appearing McGonagall, but answered directly:

"You ask me what I'm doing?"

"Of course we're teaching him a lesson!"

McGonagall looked at the ground:

"Is that... is that a student?"

"You used Transfiguration to turn the students into rats?"

"Professor McGonagall, strictly speaking, is a mole."

Moody, still not satisfied with his words, pulled down the pants of one of Malfoy's henchmen and then, waving his wand, shoved the mole inside.

This caused another round of commotion among those around them.

The younger brother, whose crotch suddenly had a rat, immediately lay down on the ground and started taking off his pants.

Harry couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight, just like everyone else around him.

After doing all this, Moody turned to Harry and winked.

Harry was also helpless, because it wasn't until the real Professor Moody appeared that Harry realized Barty Jr. had actually toned it down when he was pretending.

The real Moody was truly worthy of being called an Auror, someone who could fill half of Azkaban prison.

You can imagine how arrogant he is.

Finally, the white mole was rescued, and Professor McGonagall raised her wand, at which point a disheveled Malfoy reappeared.

The staggering man pointed at Moody: "I'll tell my father about you..."

Moody's expression turned serious as he drew his wand again and pointed it at Malfoy:
"Are you threatening me?" (End of Chapter)
