Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

If possible, he thought.

“Oh, that’s a genius idea.”

Dumbledore's slow and leisurely way of speaking whetted the audience's appetite and also piqued the curiosity of the other referees.

He just blinked his eyes and said in a slightly naughty way: "Please forgive me, an old man over a hundred years old. Sometimes I feel that I am a bit nagging. Where were we talking about? By the way, that potion is called Bresta Potion, which can give wizards the abilities of several animals."

"Animals? How many?"

Bagman stammered, his heart set on the potion, and the other judges seemed to be the same.

"Let me see. It's the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, and the strength of a bear."

Dumbledore listed the effects of the Bresta potion in detail.

"Is that why his movements just now were so fast and agile? Is that why his strength is so exaggerated?"

"It's just amazing."

The audience was filled with amazement, while the judges in the booth had different expressions. Madam Maxime had a bitter look on her face. Facing such an outstanding wizard, the chances of her student Fleur winning this competition were too slim. Karkaroff's face was terribly gloomy, while Lucius was still calm and composed, as if nothing could shake him. There was a glimmer of desire in Bagman's eyes.

The stage of keeping a low profile is almost over, and it is time for the dark wizard Mr. Potter to step into the spotlight.

Chapter 292: It all depends on the support of peers

Theoretically, the heaviest brown bear weighs less than two tons, while the weight of these fire dragons is over two tons. There is a clear difference in tonnage alone. Secondly, although the strength of the brown bear is exaggerated, it is not strong enough to knock a dragon down.

But you will feel relieved when you think that the user is Dali.

Even without taking the potion, he could easily smash a fire dragon to pieces.

In fact, the so-called taking of medicine was just a cover-up in order to make him famous and to explain his exaggerated physical fitness. To outsiders, it would just seem like he drank the magic potion. If anyone really thought that he would fail without the magic potion, he would definitely give the other party a big "surprise".

Dudley got down from the fallen Hungarian Horntail Dragon, took a look at the dragon that was knocked unconscious by the hammer, and silently took out the iconic red and white ball.

"What is he going to do? Oh my god, the dragon disappeared! Wait."

As if realizing what Dudley was about to do, Bagman tried to shout to stop him, but it was too late, Dudley's eyes had already turned to the other three dragons.

Three red and white balls were thrown out, one dragon and one ball, and they were all caught.

Silently putting away the red and white balls, Dudley raised his wand again.

"The Dursleys have already won, what else is he going to do?"

Dudley glanced speechlessly at the judges in the judges' booth.

Have these people forgotten the content of the game? His goal is not to defeat the dragon, but to obtain the golden egg guarded by the dragon!

With a wave of the magic wand and the chanting of the magic spell, four golden eggs floated over automatically and landed steadily at Dudley's feet.

This is the challenge completed.

When Bagman saw the four golden eggs, he suddenly remembered that Dudley's mission was not to defeat the dragon. His brain was working quickly and he immediately added, "Ah, well, congratulations to our Dursley for winning."

"Now, please invite our five judges to give the scores, of course, this includes me."

The witty and humorous remarks made the audience laugh.

The other judges looked at each other, and after a brief silence, they took out their wands in tacit agreement.

The first one was Ms. Maxime. A long silver ribbon-like thing spurted out from the tip of her wand, twisting to form a big "10".

"Oh my god, the first perfect score in the Triwizard Tournament has appeared."

The scoring system is 0-10, with 10 being the best and 0 being the worst.

Even if Ms. Maxime was unwilling to accept it, Dudley's performance was unquestionable and obvious to all.

Lucius was next, and his wand sprayed a '9' in the air.

This caused a small round of 'booing'.

All the young wizards at Hogwarts knew that he had some issues with Dudley, so the 9 points was unfair.

Then it was Dumbledore's turn. Another '10', and this time the audience cheered even louder.

Coming to Bagman, another 10 points appeared.

Now Dudley has three ten points and one nine points, which is a pretty exaggerated number.

The last one, Karkaroff, was a gloomy man whose face became even gloomier after seeing the scores of the other judges. The more prominent and outstanding Dudley was, the smaller the chance of Viktor's winning was, especially since they had just discussed the conclusion that if Dudley could pass the test, other contestants would not have to participate.

After hesitating for a long time, Karkaroff raised his wand and a big "3" appeared in the sky.

At this moment, all the wizards present stared blankly at the number in the sky, and many wizards even rubbed their eyes hard.

Did they see it right? Such an excellent operation was only given 3 points?

A shady deal? Malicious suppression?

After a very brief silence, boos almost resounded throughout the entire arena. Everyone looked at Karkaroff on the judges' panel with contempt, and everyone sneered at his scoring.

A dragon speaker (dragon tongue), the ability to break the fire dragon's defense spell, and the ability to develop potions on one's own, each of these abilities is beyond the reach of most adults, let alone students.

To say that he is Dumbledore's favorite student? To say that he is Dumbledore's next successor is enough.

Even if Karkaroff came on, he couldn't do better than Dudley.

No matter which aspect is achieved, it is done to the highest degree of perfection.

Those present are not fools, it is very obvious that they are giving low scores on purpose.

"Is this the quality of Durmstrang?"

"Can't afford to lose?"

Many audience members stood up and shouted in indignation.

"Rubbish school! Rubbish principal!"

"Get out of here, you're not fit to be a referee!"

"."

Curses and doubts echoed throughout the arena. The audience came to watch the exciting game, not to see the shady dealings between schools. If Bagman hadn't tried his best to calm them down with the magic loudspeaker, many emotional wizards would have rushed to the judges' seat.

Seeing that the other referees were also looking at him, Karkaroff raised the magic spell unwillingly.

The huge '3' changed and formed a '7'.

In fact, even a '7' score is a low result. Look at Beauxbatons School, which is also one of the three major schools. Look at Ms. Maxime, who is also the principal. She is so generous that she gave a full score without any favoritism.

In fact, after seeing Dudley's excellence, Ms. Maxime had almost given up hope of winning the competition, so she gave him a full score fairly. Otherwise, who wouldn't have some selfish motives?

However, there is no harm without comparison. The more petty Karkaroff is, the more magnanimous Ms. Maxim appears.

In a word - 'It's all thanks to the support of peers'.

Ms. Maxime inexplicably gained a wave of goodwill.

"What should we do now? Do other warriors need to play?" Bagman asked after looking around for a while.

"Of course we need it. There are three warriors left who haven't competed yet." Karkaroff said, his thick skin had been practiced to perfection, and he didn't even bother to suggest that if Dudley succeeded, he would be the only one who would have the credit.

"But the audience all know about this. If I force myself to go back on my word..."

Karkaroff glared at Bagman fiercely because he had said that. "Do you want to make the scores of the other warriors zero?"

The latter completely ignored Karkaroff's angry look.

It was obviously you who proposed it, and now you want to go back on your word?

One is the principal of the German School of Magic, and the other is the director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports in England. In terms of power alone, the latter obviously has more power.

Seeing that Bagman ignored him, Karkaroff had no choice but to ask the only referee among the referees present who might be on his side.

"Mr. Lucius, what do you think?"

Chapter 293 Dursley and the Three Zeros Behind Him

Karkaroff did not ask Dumbledore because he knew Dumbledore would definitely not agree, nor did he ask Ms. Maxime because Ms. Maxime's high score made him feel that she had given up.

The contestant from Beauxbatons was just an ordinary little witch like Fleur, but the contestant on our side was Krum!

Member of the Bulgarian national team! The best Quidditch player in history!

How could he be willing to admit defeat to such an outstanding student?

Under Karkaroff's expectant eyes, Lucius glanced at the others and slowly said, "I think it's best to abide by the established rules, Mr. Karkaroff. The Goblet of Fire is under the effect of contract magic."

This sentence was equivalent to announcing that his position was against his own, and Karkaroff's face turned extremely ugly.

There are five referees in total, and except for myself, none of the remaining four is on my side.

It’s really infuriating!

But he could only accept this fact. The malicious scoring just now caused the audience to go crazy. If he continued to insist on his own way, he was afraid that the judges would not stand on his side.

That's the worst case scenario.

Bagman excitedly announced the results of the first match of the Triwizard Tournament - Dudley Dursley 46 points, Viktor Krum 0 points, Fleur Delacour 0 points, and Harry Potter 0 points.

A nearly perfect score followed by three zeros is a unique occurrence in the history of the Triwizard Tournament.

I wonder how the first match of the Triwizard Tournament will be published in tomorrow's Poison and Antidote Daily.

Along with the referee's verdict, the staff also informed the remaining three contestants of the result of this competition. Harry was very calm because he expected this. Viktor was a little surprised by Dudley's performance. He didn't expect that the other party could really get the golden egg from the four dragons. He looked very solemn. He wanted to win the game very much. Although he regarded Dudley as his biggest opponent, he admired him more. He was worthy of being the genius wizard who invented the wizard card. As for Fleur, Fleur was a little crazy. She planned to discuss with Ms. Maxim tonight how to face the next game.

The first game ended, and the audience left with satisfied smiles. They had a lot to say to their friends who didn't come today. The referees also left one after another with their own thoughts.

However, there was a small problem when he was leaving. A group of Romanian dragon-taming wizards blocked Dudley's way and wanted him to hand over the four dragons.

In order to make the Three-Widow Tournament more grand, four fire dragons were transported from the dragon breeding base in Romania. Now that the first game is over, they naturally want their dragons back.

But now that the four dragons are in Dudley's hands, he will not return them.

This matter is not negotiable.

So there were some small disagreements, contradictions, disputes and conflicts between the two sides. After a series of cordial and friendly communications, Dudley stood there, while the group of Romanian wizards lay on the ground.

"What happened, Mr. Dursley."

Bagman, upon hearing the news of the conflict between the two sides, hurried over.

He first glanced at the group of Romanian wizards lying on the ground, but his gaze did not stay on them for a moment before turning to Dudley.

I hope he can tell me what happened.

Dudley spread his hands and said in a very casual tone, "It's nothing serious. They wanted to take my spoils from me, but I disagreed. They wanted to use force, so I was forced to defend myself, and that's how it turned out. It's as simple as that, Mr. Bagman."

Is it simple? It's not simple at all.

Looking at the Romanian wizards lying on the ground, Bagman felt like a thousand goblins were running through his mind.

From Bagman's perspective, there was nothing wrong with the behavior of the Romanian wizards. The four dragons were indeed loaned by the Ministry of Magic, although the Romanian dragon training base also wanted to make a name for itself.

Then the two sides hit it off and signed an agreement, which led to the scene of transporting the fire dragon.

Since it is a loan, it must be repaid.

Bagman felt that he should have a good talk with Dudley, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining to the Romanian dragon tamer.

So even though he was a little scared of Dudley, he still said, "Mr. Dursley, those four dragons..."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Dudley just as he started.

"Mr. Bagman, you don't want those four little guys back too, do you? According to the contract in the Goblet of Fire, they are now my spoils of war. It is up to me to decide how to deal with them."

Bagman was a little embarrassed by this answer. It was obvious from Dudley's attitude that he didn't want to return the four dragons.

“It shouldn’t be in the contract.”

"Yes, there is." Dudley interrupted Bagman again, looked at him suspiciously and said, "Mr. Bagman, you haven't read the contents of the Goblet of Fire Contract carefully, have you?"

With a wave of the wand, the contents of the contract on the Goblet of Fire appeared in the air.

"Warriors participating in the competition are responsible for their own safety, but the ownership of the added value generated by some items during the competition will belong to the players. Unless the players choose to give up, no one else has the right to dispose of it."

This added value refers to the situation that Dali is talking about now.
