The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 402 The Eve of the Competition

"I heard a commotion outside the castle last night. Did something happen?"

The next morning, Harry, who had panda eyes, sighed tiredly.

"I didn't sleep well all night either."

Ron nodded in agreement.

"If you two had paid attention to the class, you wouldn't have learned what I just said last week."

Hermione glared at the two of them with great disdain.

"I heard that the principal of Durmstrang was beaten, and his nose and face were bruised and swollen, so he didn't come here to have breakfast this morning."

Seamus next to him interrupted.

"It's impossible. Even if a wizard is seriously injured, he can heal it instantly. These bruises are not a big problem at all."

Hermione retorted from the side.

"The version I heard is that there was a tsunami in the Black Lake. The lake water soaked all Durmstrang and the students from the magic institute. I wonder if they did something to anger the mermaids at the bottom of the lake. action".

Hermione took a bite of the sandwich in front of her and shrugged.

"The bottom of the Black Lake is connected to the ocean. It is normal for water to spray out due to some disturbance. It's just that those students were a little unlucky."

Zhang Qi, who just passed by, took over the conversation very calmly.

"Mr. Hilbert, you look like you haven't had a good rest."

Harry looked at the obvious dark circles on Zhang Qi's face and asked with great concern.

"Ah, there were too many things last night, and I didn't fall asleep until late at night."

Zhang Qi waved his hand very casually, and then sat at the end of Slytherin's long table.

"By the way, Hilbert, have you heard? We will have the first competition in three days."

Malfoy waved to him.

"I really didn't expect this, but am I a little too impatient?"

Zhang Qi frowned slightly.

"I heard that the minister is coming here to watch it in person, and my father is coming too!"

Draco said very proudly.

"Ah, I know this because my mother is coming too."

Zhang Qi nodded.

"By the way, have you heard anything happening in the Forbidden Forest recently?"

Zhang Qi put a sausage in his mouth and chewed it, listening to the conversations of the people around him.

"Yes, I seemed to have heard a very strange roar coming from there before, but I didn't have the guts to take a look."

"Ah, isn't it a monster that will be used in the competition?"

"Has history really not changed because of this?"

Zhang Qi fell into deep thought.

"Grandpa Dumbledore has already said that only one of us can play in each game, so who is going to play in the first game?"

Astoria asked softly.

"I'll go ahead and help you get through the thunder."

Zhang Qi put a piece of freshly baked beef patty into his mouth without any image, chewed it for a few bites and then stuffed the next piece.

"Then please."

Astoria said with a smile.

………………

"Brother, please don't be like this, okay? You are so serious and it makes me very uncomfortable"...

In the shadows at the edge of the corridor, Shen Meng had just stretched out and planned to walk to the auditorium to eat something, but someone reached out and grabbed her.

Shen Meng thought that someone was plotting something against her, but she suddenly found out that it was her brother.

Gu Luan "Let me ask you, is there any way you can get Miss Greengrass's measurements and other data?"

Shen Jian asked after being silent for a moment.

"I, I, I, damn, brother, are you trying to attack your younger siblings?"

Shen Meng's face showed shock at first, and then showed an eager expression:

"Don't be like this. Miss Tirpitz is almost no longer considered by my mother as her daughter-in-law. And if you really have thoughts about Astoria, my mother will definitely join Zhang Qi. I’ll break both your legs!”

"What the hell are you thinking about?"

Shen Jian raised his hand helplessly and knocked on his sister's head.

"We are ordering a new dress for Miss Greengrass. I can't attend the ball, but my mother and I agreed that we can take this opportunity to give Zhang Qi a good push in the back, at least including Mr. Lin. The old-timers thought the two of them were developing too slowly."

Shen Jian saw that he seemed to be hurt by being knocked by his sister, so he quickly reached out to help rub it twice.

"What dress are you going to order for her? Why do you think that ordering a dress can promote your relationship? This is a dress, not a wedding dress"...

Shen Meng scratched his head in confusion.

"Help me get the data within two days. It will take some time for the People's Garment Factory to rush into production. This thing can't be completed within a month."

Shen Jian shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, Aunt Zhang said that she would pay for my daughter-in-law's dress, and she would pay for it as soon as the ready-made clothes come out."

"No problem, leave it to me. I just heard Daphne say that her sister doesn't have a dress. I don't think he will refuse."

Shen Meng made an OK gesture towards her brother.

"It's good that you still remember."

Shen Jian nodded, then walked to Hufflepuff's long table and started enjoying breakfast.

"Er fool, are you training today?"

Zhang Qi appeared behind him like a ghost.

"If you don't train, why don't you make any sound when you walk? Don't you know this is scary?"

Shen Jian ate one bun in two bites, then grabbed the second one and started gobbling it down.

"I'm going to take you to do some basic training to prevent you from dying on the field in three days"!

Zhang Qi snorted softly and sat down next to him.

"So what's the first game about"?

Shen Jian frowned and asked while eating.

"It's quite simple. You can kill a dragon by yourself."

Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders.

"puff"!

After hearing this, Shen Jian almost spit out the milk he just drank in his mouth!

"You are kidding me"!

"Actually, you don't need to kill the dragon. You just need to steal an egg from the lair of an angry fire dragon. How about it? Doesn't it feel like the difficulty level has been reduced a lot?"

Zhang Qi blinked and asked.

"Fire dragons will become extremely violent when they are hatching eggs. Those female dragons will do anything for their children. Are you sure you don't want me to be burned to death in a breath of dragon breath?"

Shen Jian asked with his eyes widened.

"Oh, it seems that you have a thorough understanding of the magical animal species in the West, but do you really not have the ability to kill a fire dragon by yourself?"

Zhang Qi's mouth curled up into a slight smile.

"I've never seen anything like this, so I don't know."

Shen Jian calmly drank the entire bowl of milk in front of him, then wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Come on, let me see what you are going to do."
