Chapter 261 Project 1 (2)
But not long after she left, Lamia turned back and turned into a bat and sneaked into the Gryffindor Tower. She suddenly thought of how to reconcile Ron and Harry.
Lamia threw a spider she had brought from the Forbidden Forest on Ron's bed, and then after Harry walked into the room, she locked the door and waited patiently for any movement inside. Sure enough, not long after Harry entered, Ron discovered the spider on his bed.
"Help! Spider! There's a spider!" Ron's voice was about to overturn the entire tower. Lamia had already found cotton to plug her ears, but her hearing was too good. Even so, she still had to endure a wave of Ron's sonic attacks.
"It's better if you make peace this time, otherwise next time, it won't be such a small spider." Lamia covered her ears with her hands and waited patiently for the person inside to speak.
"Harry, Harry, please help me!" It was Ron. He was asking Harry to help him. This had achieved Lamia's goal. Although she didn't hear Harry's response, Lamia was still sure that they would be able to reconcile tomorrow.
The old-fashioned plot of the hero saving the beauty works equally well no matter which character it is applied to.
Lamia clapped her hands, done!
The next day, when Lamia arrived at the empty classroom arranged by Hermione as planned yesterday, Harry had already started practicing the Flying Charm. At the same time, Lamia noticed that Ron was helping and encouraging Harry.
Lamia was not surprised at all, as this was all her doing. On the contrary, Hermione was extremely surprised. After Lamia went in, she kept winking at Lamia, and only withdrew all her actions after she realized that this was her achievement.
At two o'clock in the morning, Harry was standing by the fireplace, surrounded by a lot of things: books, quills, a few overturned chairs, an old set of Gobstones, and Neville's toad, Riff. Just now, Harry had finally mastered the Summoning Charm.
"Much better, Harry, that's a real improvement," said Hermione, looking tired but very happy.
"Oh, now we know what to do next time I can't learn a spell," said Harry, throwing a Rune Dictionary back to Hermione so he could try again. "Threaten me with a dragon, that's right." He raised his wand again. "Here comes the Dictionary!"
The heavy dictionary flew from Hermione's hands to the other side of the room, where Harry caught it.
"Harry, I think you really got it!" said Hermione happily.
"Hopefully it will work tomorrow," said Harry. "The Firebolt has a much longer range than anything here. Tomorrow it'll be in the castle and I'll be out in the grounds."
"It's all right," Hermione assured him. "If you really concentrate and focus, it will come. Harry, we'd better get some sleep - you need your rest."
Lamia was also very tired. Although she didn't do anything, just practicing magic spells with Harry was enough to make her tired.
So the four of them agreed to go back and rest now, and when Lamia and Harry participated in the first project, Hermione and Ron would be the first to cheer them on.
……
Lamia and several warriors were asked to draw the dragons they were about to face in the tent. It was so stressful that Harry's palms were all sweaty, but he still mustered up the courage to comfort Lamia, although he looked even more scared.
"Lamia, can I really do this?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Believe in yourself, Harry, you can do it." Lamia said.
"What about you, Lamia? If you want to pass that dragon like this, I really hope none of us will draw that one..." Harry's eyes were full of fear. Lamia knew very well that Harry was talking about the dragon that even Charlie found difficult to deal with.
"Don't worry, Harry. Like I said before, I have a way, and you can definitely summon the Firebolt successfully. It's yours, isn't it?"
"I hope so," Harry said heavily.
But perhaps fate was already determined, and the result would not change no matter what. Even though Lamia felt the breath of all the dragons, she still drew the Chinese dragon that was completely black except for its frightening green eyes.
"What should we do?" Harry was not much better off. He drew the second most difficult Hungarian Horntail, and the two were ranked fourth and fifth to participate in the event.
"Don't worry at all, Harry, I have a way." Lamia said confidently, but only she knew how nervous she was.
When Harry came on stage, the Hungarian Hornet seemed to be enraged and started spewing flames at Harry, not even caring about the golden eggs it was supposed to protect.
"Harry, come on!" Hermione and Ron yelled frantically. "Swoosh!"
But it seemed that they didn't need to be so loud, because apart from their cheers, the only sounds in the field were the Slytherins' taunts and the whispers of people from other houses. This undoubtedly put more pressure on Harry, and he had to use all his strength to avoid the dragon's attack.
Fortunately, Harry had been practicing the Scything Charm before. As soon as he finished the spell, the Firebolt that Hermione had put aside flew over and landed directly in Harry's hands.
"It's now!"
Harry rode the Firebolt and flew back and forth around the dragon, dodging many fatal attacks. Finally, when the dragon was about to hit Harry, he dodged quickly, causing the dragon to fall heavily on the city wall and faint.
Harry took this opportunity to fly over and take his golden egg.
"Brilliant! Harry! Harry!"
Ron excitedly stood up in his seat and shouted, "This is my good brother!"
"Okay, Ron, there's also Lamia." Hermione pushed Ron down from his seat. She felt a little relieved, after all, Lamia's dragon was obviously more dangerous.
Lamia stepped onto the open field and for the first time felt how small she was. The dragon was now staying next to the golden eggs. It closed its eyes and seemed to be asleep, but Lamia could clearly feel the heat spraying from its nose.
