The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

At this point, Mr. Jolly spoke again.

"Warriors, I'll ask you one last time, are you ready?"

"Ready."

The three answered in unison.

"Very good, listen to my command, one, two, three, the competition begins!"

At Mr. Jolly's command, the three warriors leaped forward simultaneously, and the three divine steeds spread their wings and flew forward.

To match the warriors' pace, the three horses flew at altitudes below the warriors.

During the jump, the three warriors' actions differed.

The distance between the starting point and the second point is about 200 meters. Even if you float with the help of clothing, it is impossible to reach that point directly.

Their jump wasn't powerful enough to send them more than 200 meters away.

Fleur and Krum begin to rely on the strength of their competition partners.

They all chose to use the horses' bodies as temporary shelters.

Moreover, they were very mindful of time, only lightly stepping on the horse's back for leverage, and the contact with the horse lasted less than a second.

But Scott did not choose to do so.

Pegasus seemed to understand his meaning, and without cooperating with him, flew straight toward the finish line.

As Scott's body began to fall, there was no foothold below him.

"Mr. Trolop told his partner to leave him alone, but now he seems to be in a deadly crisis!"

Mr. Joley began his passionate commentary once again.

"Oh my god! He's going to fall!"

Fleur and Krum both turned to look at Scott, their faces showing surprise.

"Flocks of birds".

Scott waved his wand.

"Gah...gagga..."

A flock of black crows flew out from the tip of his wand and cawed around him.

"Take me with you."

Scott gave the order.

"quack……"

The crows grabbed his cloak with their claws and flew him forward.

"Oh, what am I seeing!"

Mr. Joley exclaimed in surprise.

"Mr. Trollope cast a special 'flock of birds,' which carried him forward!"

It seems they heard Mr. Jolly's suggestion.

Fleur and Krum, who were in front of Scott, did not turn around, but they also waved their wands and cast a flock of birds.

Unfortunately, their flock of birds was the normal version, except that it turned into a group of colorful little birds.

The birds were too small and too few in number to be of much help to them.

"Why! Why is Mr. Trollope's 'Flock of Birds' different from everyone else's!"

Of course they are different.

Scott smiled.

Others' flocks of birds are a transformation spell, but his flocks of birds are a summoning spell.

These crows were not conjured by him, but were real crows that he summoned.

This was a magic spell he had already completed in the second semester of fourth grade.

The techniques of contracts and summoning originated from an ancient book in Helena's study.

Although much of ancient magic is outdated, it is not without its merits.

Because of the contract, Scott didn't actually use a spell when summoning the crows; his chanting of "flock of birds" was merely to confuse others.

So although he used this magic frequently, few people had ever noticed it before.

Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, and Professor McGonagall, who were familiar with him, should have been able to tell, but they wouldn't say anything.

At this moment, Scott didn't have to do anything; like a vampire in a Muggle fantasy story, he was carried forward by a group of dark creatures.

He quickly overtook Fleur and Krum to take the lead.

It would look even more like a bat than a crow.

Scott thought.

"If this continues, Trolopp will undoubtedly gain an absolute advantage!"

Mr. Jolly shouted.

"See that? He doesn't need Pegasus's help, he doesn't even need to linger on the landing box, he will perfectly avoid those three traps that imprison you for 5 seconds!"

"Miss Delacour and Mr. Krum must adjust their strategy!"

How will they turn things around? Can they do it? Let's wait and see!

Scott turned around and saw how Fleur and Krum were responding.

Krum's method was rather simple and brutal. He cast a powerful hurricane spell on the road ahead, then jumped into the wind, letting the hurricane propel him forward at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, he overtook Scott.

Not to be outdone, Furong raised her hand to untie the ribbons of her hat, making the hat bigger, and then tied the ribbons around her body.

She also used the Hurricane Spell, but she cast it on her hat.

The enormous hat acted like a sail, propelling her to overtake Scott at an even faster pace and catch up with Krum.

Ahead, Scott's partner Pegasus crossed the finish line circle at that moment.

It turned its head and saw Scott lagging behind, and immediately let out an anxious neigh.

Chrysaor and Hippocrine, who were following Krum and Fleur, responded with cheerful neighs.

"Looks like I can't show off anymore, after all, I can't let my partner worry."

Scott said with a smile, waving his wand at a raven beside him.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

The crow grew rapidly until it could carry Scott.

Scott gently landed on the back of the giant raven and cast a bubble-head spell on himself to shield himself from the wind.

"accelerate!"

At his command, the crow carrying him cawed and flew forward.

The outcome of the next match was no longer in doubt.

No matter what methods Fleur and Krum use, they cannot surpass birds that are born to fly, unless they ride on the back of a divine horse the entire time.

But obviously, that won't work.

They must use those 10 seconds very carefully, always keeping in mind the time they have used.

The crow quickly led Scott to the finish line, through the huge metal ring, and onto a massive floating platform behind the finish line.

Scott first shrunk the crow back to its original size, then waved his hand to disperse the flock of crows.

Pegasus, who had been acting very reserved, finally flew over and rubbed against Scott.

"Oh Pegasus, are you so pleased with winning against Chrysaor and Hippocrates?"

Scott reached out and stroked the smooth silver mane on its neck.

Pegasus snorted merrily.

"The winner of this round has undoubtedly been determined!"

"He is Scott Troop, the hero from Hogwarts!"

"He effortlessly won first place with his exquisite use of spells!"

"Oh! Even I really want to learn the spell 'Flock of Birds' from him!"

As Mr. Jolly provided commentary, Scott turned to look at the track.

The other two were also nearing the finish line.

Hibiscus is almost at her 12th stop, while Krum is at her 10th.

It seems that Furong has the upper hand in this match.

But the next second, when Furong's feet stepped onto the 12th foothold, the cube beneath her feet began to flash red.

"Oh my god, the trap has finally been triggered! This is the first time today!" Mr. Jolly shouted. "Miss Delacour will be immobilized for five seconds!"

Illusory chains suddenly appeared and spun around the hibiscus.

The effect of confinement has appeared for the first time!

In previous matches, the traps had not been triggered, seemingly because they had luckily avoided them.

Krum had now reached his 11th stop.

He waved his wand and summoned a powerful hurricane, then rode the wind forward.

He then used Chrysaor's body for leverage, crossed the 12th landing point, and finally landed on the 13th landing point.

But unfortunately...

Red light began to flash beneath his feet.

Illusory chains representing the binding effect rotated around him.

"Oh! Mr. Krum also fell into a trap! Although he cleverly avoided box number 12!"
