After the match time was set, the next step was to determine the warriors from the three schools. However, an unexpected incident occurred during this process: four warriors from the three schools were selected.
Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons;
Durmstrang's Viktor Krum;
And Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts, Harry Potter;
That's right, the extra one is Harry Potter. Although he was prepared, Dumbledore never expected the other party to be so despicable. They didn't even bother to pretend anymore; they were practically saying outright that they were after Harry.
Owen was also there, but he used a Disillusionment Charm and hid in a corner. However, while he could hide from people, he couldn't hide from Fox. The fire phoenix landed on Owen as soon as he left the castle and then teleported him back to the headmaster's office.
"Owen, Harry has become one of the champions, and even though I explicitly refused, Harry still has to participate in the competition."
The fact that Dumbledore used such concise and succinct language to explain the situation showed that he was somewhat anxious, but Owen laughed: "Shouldn't we put the Goblet of Fire away?"
"Yes, it is kept by Karkaroff."
"Is it possible to take it out and give it to us for safekeeping?"
"It shouldn't be difficult, but Kyrie, is it really necessary to do this?"
Owen smiled and said, "I hope I'm overthinking it. It's alright, Headmaster. At Hogwarts, this is our home ground. As long as we know the details of the match, I'll take care of the rest."
The Triwizard Tournament, which was discontinued a century ago, has suddenly been brought to the forefront. Despite not having registered, their names have appeared in the Goblet of Fire. These things seem strange, but in Owen's eyes, it's practically a blatant declaration: "I want Harry Potter." Owen will make them achieve their goal, but they will have to pay a heavy price!
"By the way, Owen, there's a dance tomorrow night. The Warriors will be there, along with students from the school. Do you want to go and have some fun?"
"I'll try my best—"
Irving couldn't say whether he wanted to go or not; it all depended on whether those dozen or so fire dragons would act up tomorrow.
Irving treats magical creatures with the mindset of making friends. If you're good to me, I'll be even better to you. But if you throw tantrums for no reason, then I'm sorry, I'm your friend, not your parent, and I won't indulge you. Let's see who's stronger.
Coincidentally, dragons are creatures that tend to obey whoever is strongest. So, the thirteen dragons decided to have a competition to see who is the strongest.
After hearing this, Irving decided to get involved. They were all friends, so how could they exclude him?
When Owen removed the magic suppressor from his body, the thirteen fire dragons immediately became docile. A massive amount of magic power surged outwards from Owen, pressing the grass down to the ground and causing the trees to rustle loudly. Even the fire dragons had never witnessed such a tremendous amount of magic power.
Irving, however, seemed unfazed. He looked at the dragons and said, "Come on, let's have a competition! How do we want to compete?"
He was confident he could take on thirteen magic opponents at once, and he could only lose one-on-one due to his strength. After all, he was still a human, and it would be strange if he could win against a fire dragon in terms of strength. But if he added skill, he was confident he could trip the fire dragon.
But now, the dragons have lost their spirit. They turned their heads toward Owen and pressed them to the ground, a gesture of submission.
"Hey! What are you all doing? Get up, get up! We're friends. Friends genuinely want to make each other's lives better. We help each other out when needed, and when we're not, we sit together, eat, drink, chat, and brag a bit."
Irving helped the thirteen large heads up, panting heavily from exhaustion. Then he took out various kinds of beef and mutton, and the fire dragons ate them without hesitation. After they finished eating, they opened their mouths wide, and Irving used clear water to rinse their mouths.
Irving takes hygiene extremely seriously. Even dragons have to rinse their mouths after eating. If he can't see it, fine, but if he can, then he has to do it.
"Great Kyrie Irving, you've brought us here for more than just a game, haven't you?"
Owen's expression turned serious: "Yes, friends, this is Hogwarts, and it's my home. When I learned that someone was plotting against my home, you were the first people I thought of. The first match will be held in five days. The venue is being arranged. Just four of you will be happy to participate. If you can hold them off for a while, just don't hurt anyone. But after the match, I would like to ask you to keep an eye on something. I suspect that someone has made it into a key to the door. If anyone uses that thing to get out, please—"
Irving raised his head, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "Don't hold back! Kill every single one that appears!"
"Roar!!" (Good!!)
"Aww!!" (That felt so good!)
Thirteen fire dragons raised their heads and roared at the sky. Fortunately, Owen used a silencing spell in this area; otherwise, half of the timid magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest would have been scared to death, and the courage of the warriors who were still guessing the contents of the first match would have dropped below freezing.
Facing a fire dragon, especially one-on-one, would be tantamount to suicide for students, let alone Aurors.
Irving didn't mean to make things difficult for anyone. Viktor Krum was a Quidditch star who was brought in by his own principal to participate. In reality, he was just a participant, and it didn't matter whether he won or lost.
Furong—such a beautiful girl, and she's been providing me with a lot of emotional support lately, so I can't just let her go like this.
As for Cedric and Harry, they were students from their own school. The former was an extremely outstanding student, and Owen had already told him that after graduation he would join the Ministry of Magic, first working in the Department of Law as an administrative staff member to familiarize himself with the job, and then gradually rise through the ranks until he was thirty years old and took charge of the Department of Law.
The latter was someone the old wizard valued highly, and from the first year onwards, he had been paving the way for him and helping him grow.
If those two die at Hogwarts, then Owen can forget about being the headmaster. He can just graduate early, go abroad, and never come back.
Therefore, the competition was just an excuse, a pretext for the dragon to appear openly at Hogwarts.
Owen told them the whole story, and the dragons were overjoyed. They even arranged their own shifts, with three dragons taking turns in three shifts. The extra four dragons would help their friends guard the house in two shifts, patrolling the skies to ensure that there were always two dragons in the sky above Hogwarts, day or night!
With his friends being so supportive, Irving naturally couldn't be stingy and immediately declared that the meals would be top-notch, with large portions and unlimited food!
