Chapter 282 The 1nd Project
On the day the first project started, Hogwarts became much more lively. Reporters moved in one after another. They set up cameras around the venue early in the morning, took photos everywhere, and randomly interviewed people.
There are also some people who sneaked into Hogwarts by virtue of their status as reporters, such as Annika Rochier and Maria Holt. The Rochier family recently became a small shareholder of the F Country Lingshu Newspaper. The sisters who could not serve as candidates for the Beauxbatons Warriors entered Hogwarts in name as newspaper staff.
It was understandable that Annika came here to see Miss Riddle, who was linked to her future, but Maria was different, ever since she danced with Maggie at the rally during the World Games, she had fallen in love at first sight with the elegant Mr. Riddle, and her current family was very supportive of her feelings and had her come over whenever they found a chance.
And Maggie, who Maria was thinking about, of course came here today wearing his silver mask. There was no way he would miss Della's game. The Insight, which he had prepared early on and which relied on the Daily Prophet to gain popularity, also moved into Hogwarts two days ago. On the surface, he had no relationship with this newspaper.
Because she was exempted from almost all classes, Della took a short nap on the day of the official competition before going to the competition venue. She ran into Harry, who was led by Professor McGonagall, outside the warriors' tent. After politely greeting Professor McGonagall, Della and Harry entered the tent one after another.
The atmosphere in the tent was depressing. Everyone who knew about dragons was nervous about it. Fleur sat on a low wooden stool with a pale face, looking sick; Krum's face was even gloomier and seemed a little nervous; Demetri sat on the other side, holding a simple necklace in both hands, as if drawing strength from it.
necklace?
Della remembered the basilisk tooth that Sadolin had sent away, and Harry remembered the Slytherin lady holding hands tightly with Demetrius.
In contrast to the oppressive atmosphere inside, the outside became lively almost the moment the warriors entered. Excited conversations and laughter immediately filled their small tent. Amid this noise that was closely related to themselves, everyone except Della's warriors became more nervous.
"Ladies first." The flat-nosed Ludo Bagman handed the untied purple silk bag to Della. Della reached in and took out a small dragon model with big wings and a tail that looked like it was burning. This was a fire-tailed dragon that flew at an extremely fast speed, and the number "five" was hung around its neck.
"It seems that our final warrior has appeared!" Bagman said, and handed the bag to the other warriors.
Furong drew the number two Wales Green Dragon, Krum took out the number three Z Country Fireball, and Dmitri took out a silver-blue R Classic Short-nosed Dragon. He was number one.
As for Harry, he is a type 4 X-Garlic Bookbee, a very dangerous dragon.
Faced with the little dragon model that was exactly the same as the real thing, Della was still not interested. The other brave warriors in the tent, despite being nervous, more or less had the desire to fight for honor, but she had none of that. Even the dragon was not an exciting challenge to her.
Della sat there quietly, listening to the footsteps of the warriors going out one by one and the screams and praises outside. She felt even more bored. When she finally came out, Della didn't even want to give a polite smile.
When she walked onto the field, the audience was also noisy, but it was clearly different from the cheers of other warriors. It was a kind of noise mixed with countless whispers and discussions, filled with emotions of greed, fear and hatred.
Amidst all the unpleasant noise, a few clear clapbacks stood out. Surrounded by the crowd, Maggie was the first to applaud, with the corners of her mouth, which were not covered by the silver mask, curled up in a sexy arc.
With his start, more applause followed, and cheers and screams finally came to the Warriors.
Della nodded politely and walked towards the fire-tailed dragon that was circling a nest of eggs under the gaze of thousands of faces. Under its wide-open thin wings, Della saw the glittering golden egg.
As Della approached, the red tail of the Fire Tail Dragon glowed transparently in the sunlight, becoming translucent and emitting terrifying heat. Its fang-filled mouth opened wide, its pupils shrunk into a thin line, and it went crazy during the most protective period of breastfeeding.
The huge fire dragon was angry, but the little girl did not stop. Due to the huge size contrast, the audience in the stands finally forgot Della's identity as the daughter of the Dark Lord for a short time, and they all felt worried for this fifteen-year-old girl.
But then, Della's actions crushed the empathy they had finally regained for a little girl.
At that moment, Della raised the same ordinary magic wand in her hand as everyone else's. No one had time to confirm whether she opened her mouth to chant the spell or not. The extremely dangerous flaming tail flew high into the sky. The dragon did not react just like the people in the stands. Its wings were spread, its tail was burning, and the low moan in its throat was still filled with anger.
When silence swept the audience, the dragon roared first, twisting its body wildly, and its weak roar made everyone's heart tremble slightly. But Della, who possessed this astonishing magic, still had her usual polite smile on her face. She walked over leisurely and took the golden egg easily.
Just like at the beginning, Maggie was the first to applaud, but under the impact of the huge force, not many people responded to his lead in applause at first. After the applause was sparse for a while, some people who had recovered began to clap like crazy.
Perhaps it was because the audience's applause was too loud or the Flame Tail Dragon had run out of strength, but its struggling roar was completely drowned out until Della waved her wand again to free it from its restraints, and the audience could hear its wailing as it hit the ground like a fireball.
While the dragon trainer was hurriedly checking the injuries of the fire dragon, Della walked back to the tent slowly with the golden egg in her arms. At this time, Fleur, Demetrius, Krum and Harry also came back. Except for Fleur, the other three warriors had ointments of different colors on their bodies. They were all injured in the fight with the fire dragon.
However, everyone's face was filled with honor and joy despite the pain. They all got the golden egg, which meant they had passed this round and proved their abilities.
"Congratulations." Della glanced at the golden eggs in their hands one by one and greeted them with a smile.
"You didn't even listen to your score!" Ludo Bagman came running in breathlessly and shouted excitedly to Della. "Six ten points! The highest!"
"This isn't some suspense that requires me to stay and wait for it, right?" Della said the most arrogant words calmly. If it weren't for the fact that her eyes and tone were truly flat, everyone present would have thought she was bragging.
"Tidy up your appearance, my esteemed opponents," Della turned her head slightly and saw the reporters eager to move behind Bagman's huge body. "The recorders who will publicize our achievements are here, and I look forward to seeing your brave deeds in tomorrow's newspaper."
and the first report in The Insight.
After saying this, Della added silently in her heart.
