Chapter 676 Small Punishment
"Harry, what do you want from me?"
Breaking away from some supporters, Harry motioned to a side corner.
"how?"
"The first competition is a fire dragon, each with one head."
Harry didn't go around in circles, and directly shared the information he had just obtained with Ethan. Ethan knew that he would get the news from Ron, and then saw the fire dragons relatively close by relying on the invisibility cloak.
"Thank you, Harry."
While the two were talking, Ethan noticed that someone was secretly staring at him and Harry Potter. It should be the Mad-Eye Moody disguised by Barty Crouch Jr.
He wanted to ensure that Harry Potter could win the Triwizard Tournament and personally touch the winning trophy that had already been transformed into a portkey, so when the content of the competition had been determined, he began to Think about how you can help Harry win.
So from his point of view, Harry's behavior of sharing information with competitors is really frustrating to him.
"you are welcome."
Compared with Cedric Diggory, Harry Potter and Ethan have a better relationship, and both sides also have mutual friends. Although Ethan is a student of Slytherin, he has never been arrogant, He also doesn't taunt others casually, and being from an ordinary family also makes Harry feel a little more intimate - after all, before he came to Hogwarts, he had the most contact with ordinary people.
It was also the appearance of Ethan that changed Harry Potter's perception of Slytherin House: Not all Slytherins are bad wizards.
I don't know how this will affect the following things, but that's not what Ethan cares about. What he has to think about now is how to deal with the unlucky guy on the opposite side-compared to several of his competitors who are worried that he will get a hard draw. To deal with the fire dragon, what Ethan should worry about is how to defeat the fire dragon 'normally'.
"You can't go all out, can you?"
"Should...can't?"
If you go all out, let alone a fire dragon, you won't be able to keep the entire arena, or even the entire Hogwarts.
Even without magic and hand-to-hand combat, Ethan went up and beat up a fire dragon with his bare hands, and it would be equally astonishing to get the golden egg after beating the fire dragon with bags all over its head.
"I'm curious how you'll deal with that big guy then."
"It's nothing more than using a few more spells."
Braiding his hair into two braids, Scathach, who naturally hung on both sides, took out a newspaper from nowhere. This is the Daily Prophet, which is considered the most influential newspaper in the magic world.
However, Ethan didn't have a good impression of this newspaper, so when Rita Skeeter, a special reporter of the Daily Prophet, wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with several contestants, Ethan ignored her at all.
"What do you think of the content on this?"
Ethan turned his head and glanced. This female reporter named Rita Skeeter's reports on Fleur Delacour and Victor Krum are normal, and she just briefly introduced these two players. nothing special.
The content about Harry Potter is more random, it is simply made up.
As for himself... Ethan found that he could write seven more books to make a long story about himself, and each book could be made into a big-budget movie with three parts.
Ethan Arendelle, a young wizard from an ordinary family accidentally entered the world of wizards, and because of his ordinary family background, he was excluded by his classmates after entering Slytherin College; Ethan Arendelle made the most important decision of his life, and possibly the dumbest: Playing the Triwizard Tournament even if he cheated.
Skaha blinked his big eyes that were "cute and cute", and said, "Is this really the case? ’, just looking at Ethan like that.
Of course this is not the case. If others don't know, isn't Scathach still clear? She was just teasing herself on purpose.
Ethan would not pay attention to the report on him in a "street tabloid", and no one in the academy was really stupid enough to take this thing to him and ask whether it was true or not.
The only people who might do this kind of thing are Draco Malfoy and his group, but Malfoy has long been intimidated by Ethan's strength, so he won't suddenly come here for abuse.
"How are you going to deal with her?"
Ethan rubbed his chin... It seems a bit wrong to kill him directly, but he still needs to be taught a proper lesson.
You can't just teach her such a muddle-headed lesson, you have to let this guy know why and who is punishing her.
"Wait until the next time we meet to clean her up."
Anyway, she will appear again soon, because this reporter will go to the scene of the Triwizard Tournament to find news, and even break into the players' lounge directly, and film the scene where Hermione comforts Harry, making up the story of Hermione and Harry. The scandal between Harry Potter, and then conveniently fabricated the scandal between Hermione and Victor Krum.
This is the street tabloid. Ethan really thinks that the magic world is hopeless. Is this the virtue of the newspaper that claims to be the most influential?
Not long after learning from Harry that the first match was against a dragon, the official match day came.
The four contestants were called together in advance, and then waited and rested in the tent dedicated to the contestants, and went out through the door next to it, and soon entered the competition field, where they could enjoy the sight and cheers of countless people, provided that they were not caught The fire dragon on the opposite side sprayed to death.
When Ethan came in, Fu Rong and Victor were already waiting inside, and when they saw Ethan coming, they simply nodded their heads as a greeting.
Now they are rivals to each other, and the dangerous competition is about to start, even if they want to be friends, they are not in the mood now.
Not long after, Harry also came, and the four contestants waited here quietly. They could hear the noise of the audience entering the arena, and there was not much time before the start of the competition.
At this moment, Harry, who was walking back and forth a little nervously, heard something. He walked aside and opened the curtain, and saw Hermione.
"coming!"
Ethan knew that the next thing to happen was that Hermione was worried that Harry came to visit specially, and hugged Harry, which was captured by the reporter.
It's just that I didn't expect that there was something of my own in it?
After Hermione gave Harry a hug, she turned around and gave Ethan a hug. Only then did Ethan realize that Hermione wasn't worried about Harry alone.
"Are you worried about me?"
"Of course I'm worried about you, but you have to face a fire dragon, don't you know how dangerous that is?"
"..."
It's hard for Ethan to explain. It can't be said that the fire dragon opposite is more dangerous than himself - if it wasn't for the crowds of spectators and people from the Ministry of Magic staring at the scene, he might have killed the dragon on the spot. The dragon is skinned and boned, and then a table of whole dragon feast is directly made.
At this moment, the sound of the camera sounded nearby, and Rita Skeeter, the 'tabloid reporter', appeared in a timely manner and took the photo she wanted.
Ethan can already predict that a novel with the theme of a dog-blood love triangle will be serialized in the Daily Prophet next.
"Wow, wow, wow, a young couple, if something happens to you in this game, maybe you will become well-known figures in the entire magic world immediately."
Hermione let go of Ethan, then looked at the woman blankly.
Compared to Hermione and Harry who were already stunned, Victor Krum, who had already experienced more such battles, was better at dealing with such situations.
He bluntly said that this is a place only for players and their friends to enter, and the subtext is to let Rita, a reporter, leave.
"It's okay, I got what I wanted anyway."
"No, you didn't get anything."
Ethan, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be as stunned as Harry, raised his hand, and the camera that had been hanging around the neck of the photographer suddenly floated up and flew towards Ethan with all his strength, but the strap was hanging on the photographer's neck. On the neck, the two are now competing.
But Ethan didn't intend to snatch the camera, and then he lightly clenched his fist, and the camera turned into pieces as if it had been crushed by something.
"you!"
Rita Skeeter was completely stunned. She never thought that someone would dare to attack her?
But it wasn't over yet, Ethan stretched out his finger and pointed at the camera that had turned into a pile of fragments and fell to the ground, a ball of flame rose directly, and made the photographer, who was crouching down to save the film, retreat back.
"How can you?"
Rita Skeeter vowed to ruin Ethan's reputation, and the quill floating beside her was also writing and writing hard.
Then the next second, the quill was also burned to ashes.
"Of course I can."
Ethan looked at the woman in front of him. He was not a magnanimous person, and he had decided to teach her a lesson long ago. Of course, he wouldn't just destroy a few props for her.
"Nightmare."
When Ethan walked in front of Rita, he almost recited this spell in front of her.
"When you mess around with other people, don't you ever think that you will be retaliated against? Take your time, Bichi!"
After finishing speaking, regardless of Rita's reaction, a magical impact sent Rita and her assistant flying out together, and almost hit Dumbledore and others who were about to come in.
"Just now that was..."
"An unrelated person who broke into the player's rest area, I have already invited her out, don't worry, Professor Dumbledore."
Barty Crouch was still looking back, and he seemed to recognize that the one who flew out was Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet.
"That seems to be..."
Compared to the fact that Barty Crouch didn't know Ethan's identity at all, Dumbledore immediately remembered Rita's report on the Daily Prophet some time ago, and after realizing it, he stopped what Barty Crouch wanted to say .
"Batty, let's get down to business first."
"right!"
Barty Crouch no longer looked outside, but lifted the cloth bag in his hand and opened it a little.
"Several players come and draw your opponents one by one."
