Chapter 398 Projection Technology
Harry, Ron and Hermione stayed to watch the game, and this was the result of their begging, as Professor McGonagall kept urging them to go to the makeshift tent for treatment.
"I'm fine, Professor McGonagall," said Harry, at this time he took the fresh white essence from Hermione and applied it to his wound, and the blood quickly stopped.
Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and stared at him for a while. Taking advantage of this, Harry quickly lowered his head and recited a healing spell to himself. This was one of the spells he had learned. Professor Happ hinted that some of their spells would be used as the standard for the new school year to go to school. He felt his wounds itchy. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it. Professor McGonagall looked at him with a stern look. He had to put his hand down. Ron on the side laughed out loud.
"Well, after watching the game, you...you're going to go to Mrs. Pomfrey for examination," said Professor McGonagall, and she glanced at Ron and Hermione, with a dirty and gray face on her face, without any injury.
Harry repeatedly assured that Professor McGonagall left, and then Harry found that his wound had tightened.
"I've never found such a useful spell." Harry said in surprise.
"Oh, this spell can only heal some small wounds. If you plan to become a therapist in the future, you will find that there is too much to learn." Hermione said, stuffing a small bottle containing fresh white essence into her pocket.
"Who would want to be a therapist?" Ron muttered, noticing that Ron and Hermione looked at him: "I mean, you have to face many weird cases every day... I should have told you that Bill had a Brazilian pen pal when he was in school. Because he couldn't afford to travel, the pen pal sent him a hat with a curse... In short, his ears were wrinkled even more than a house elf, and his mother had to take him to the hospital... I was only five or six years old at that time, but St. Mungo left a deep impression on me."
He frowned, and his face filled with disgust.
"...The male witch with an extra arm on her chest, and she treats herself as a kangaroo and can only jump away. There are no kangaroos in England! I still remember a bad guy who was pierced by some animal on his chest. The wound was bleeding all the time. When the therapist cleaned him, it smelled so bad..."
Harry and Hermione both felt a little psychologically uncomfortable when they heard it.
When the game ended, Professor McGonagall's majestic gaze immediately came over. Before the three of them could react, she suddenly appeared next to them as if she had used a phantom to move, so they immediately walked towards the temporary tent in peace.
"Potter," Harry turned his head and heard Professor McGonagall say to them: "And Weasley, Granger...you're doing a great job!" She pursed her lips and said in an unusually gentle voice: "Go to the tent, Mrs. Pomfrey is waiting for you... Maybe you can come back before the judges score."
When passing by the stands, the crowd shouted their names enthusiastically, and drooped a huge arm from the platform, which was Hagrid. He said excitedly: "You have succeeded! It's great, you are facing the most ferocious Hungarian tree bees."
Harry, Ron and Hermione smiled and took turns to high-five Hagrid. Ron said lightly, "Oh... it's not that difficult..."
At the temporary wooden gate, Sirius rushed up excitedly and hugged them.
"You guys are the best combination I've ever seen!"
...
At the same time, there was a heated discussion in the referee seat on the high platform, and the seven judges exchanged opinions on the performance of the six teams.
"Is Swedish short-nosaurus a little too weak?" Kakarov questioned.
"No," Bagman retorted, "You saw it! Its flame melted the chains specially made in the dragon farm, and it is the strongest among the several fire dragons... Felix, you are the safety officer, you can see the most clearly when standing at a high place, tell me!"
He looked at Felix, who, as the last line of defense, although Felix had no right to score, was also pulled over, in the name of "providing details that others cannot see."
"Actually, except for the Hungarian tree bee, the other five fire dragons are almost the same," Felix scratched his chin and said, "If you have to compare, the Swedish short-nosed dragon is relatively strong inside, at least its flame temperature is extremely high... What I see is that everyone in the team has completed their respective tasks well."
"Cedric Diggory's meteorological magic made the fire dragon irritable and lose its mind. This can be seen from the fact that it broke free from the constraints and chose to disperse the rain clouds instead of attacking the warriors... The timing of Roger Davis's launch was also clever. His fantasy spell was not outstanding. In order to avoid being discovered, there were no actions in the early stage, but his role in the team was very critical."
Felix smiled and said, "He belongs to the horn to save the field and launch the general offensive."
"If the Fire Dragon attacks Digory madly, Davis must stand up and stop it. The real situation is also commendable. He induces the Black Thorns when the Fire Dragon just flies off the ground... an excellent growth spell... As for Collins Forley, she doesn't move much, but you should be able to see the patience, courage and trust in her teammates she showed throughout the game. She squatted under the foot of the Swedish short-nosed dragon for at least two minutes. There was a slight accident in the middle and she might not be able to run out."
The judges present were not short of eyesight, and Felix just told the truth.
They finished their discussion quickly and were about to score. Felix suddenly said, "The purpose of the championship is to select the best little wizards in different schools, let them compete on the same stage, participate in the training, and hope that they will show the courage that wizards praise in difficult tasks... For several judges, I suggest that each judge should give a few comments when giving specific scores, so that the warriors can know their strengths and weaknesses..."
The judges looked at each other.
"Will it delay too much?" Bagman said with a little confused: "We didn't arrange this process...but it's not impossible..."
"As the principal, of course I hope to see the Warriors gain something this year," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Fudge looked at the other judges with a hesitant expression: "What about your thoughts?"
"This idea is very good." Mrs. Maxim said, not feeling anything wrong, but was very welcome.
"I also agree with this proposal. Vagado students should know their shortcomings and cannot make the same mistake a second time." said Principal Vagado, the thin witch, who sat cross-legged on a flying carpet, as if walking out of a comic book.
In fact, the British Ministry of Magic has banned the initiation and sale of flying carpets, but she only uses them herself, and she is a foreigner. Fauci Quan regarded it as not seeing it.
"Your speech is very wise, Ms. Najib." Felix bowed slightly.
Several judges agreed one after another, and they sat back on the referee's seat and prepared to score. Felix left the platform and smiled at Kakarov and he didn't look very happy.
"Ahem! Quiet," Bagman said loudly, and the crowd in the stands gradually became quiet. "The next step is the judges' score. In order for the Warriors to remember not only one score, each judge will give some pertinent evaluations."
"But please allow me to review the entire game first. Many people may not have time to see the whole picture. After all, there are too many wonderful pictures and I can't take care of them... I will describe it in the order of obtaining the dragon eggs."
“The first team I would like to talk about were the Warriors from Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory, Roger Davis and Collins Forley, who picked up the dragon egg in the shortest time and defeated the Fire Dragon without any injuries;
The second team to get the Dragon Egg was the Warriors of Vagado. Nona Lebert brought the Dragon Egg out with a wonderful cheetah transformation. Of course, their strategy was a bit radical, causing a player to be trapped by the Fire Dragon and the safety officer to intervene in the game, which may become a point deduction. Despite this, they also contributed a wonderful game for us.
The third team that got the Dragon Eggs was also from Hogwarts. They were the youngest and in the fourth grade, but they performed very well. They were the only two teams that got the Dragon Eggs and successfully left the Fire Dragon;
The fourth team to get the Dragon Egg was Demstrong, although they only grabbed some pieces;
The fifth team to get the dragon egg was Busbaton. Miss Dragul had the courage to surpass her. At the last moment, she threw the dragon egg to her teammates, but she was in trouble and had to rely on the protection of the security officer;
The last team is Ifamoni. Uh, although they didn’t get the dragon egg, it was a problem of strategy. Their compound magic is still very eye-catching..."
Bagman briefly introduced the performance of the six teams, which made the audience re-interpret it in their minds, and they were talking. At this time, the warriors in the audience came back one after another. After waiting for a while, he whispered: "Then, please rate the first team!"
Harry squinted his eyes and looked at the referee's seat. The first judge, Mrs. Maxim, raised his wand, and a long ribbon-like thing emerged from the tip of the stick, twisting to form a number "10".
Mrs. Maxim commented: "The Hogwarts group fully demonstrates the qualities, courage, wisdom, loyalty, and trust that the Warriors must possess. For this project alone, their performance is impeccable, and I give it ten."
Her fair speech won her warm applause.
"Maybe they will get full marks." Ron clapped his face and said, and the sixth judge still gave a 10. "I hope we won't be too far behind. Logically speaking, our performance is not bad, right?"
Harry nodded violently, while looking at the last judge, Kakarov slowly raised his wand, the silver ribbon twisting to form the number "7".
Everyone on the field was a little lost and could not believe their eyes. They were all ready to welcome the first full team, but now they all turned into bubbles. The number seven was so dazzling.
"Kakarov..." On the platform, Bagman looked at him hesitantly.
Kakarov said in his unique sleek, greasy voice: "You see courage, but I see recklessness. They have no need to knock the dragon out of nowhere, that would bring potential danger..."
But before he finished speaking, someone in the crowd started to clamor, "Nonsense!" Simo shouted loudly, Kakarov looked over with cold eyes, but Simo bravely looked at him and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone understands what's going on, that was the best choice at that time!"
A voice of agreement echoed him.
"I stand my point of view," Kakarov said.
"Okay," Bagmann hummed twice, "Every judge has the right to score independently... In this way, the total score of the Hogwarts team is 67 points, ranking first. I believe it is difficult for latecomers to catch up, but it is hard to say... Let's continue..."
...
In the end, Harry and the others scored 61 points, ranking second. Ludo Bagman enthusiastically praised the youngest Warriors and gave full marks without hesitation. The Warriors of Vagado scored 53 points, ranking third; Demstrong scored 50 points, ranking fourth; Busbaton scored 48 points, fifth; Ifamoni scored 23 points.
The more controversial ones are the rankings of Demstrong and Boothbaton. No one expected that when the judges gave six points and seven points, Kakarov shamelessly raised ten points, which caused an uproar.
You know, although Bagman gave Harry this set of ten, he was also at the bottom of nine points. Although it was abrupt, there was no big problem. It only shows that Bagman particularly favored young and controversial warriors, while Kakarov's approach was blatantly cheating.
After the rating, the Warriors and the judges gathered in the temporary tent again, waiting to receive information about the second project. Felix was about to leave, and Bagman stopped him enthusiastically, "Don't rush to leave, Felix, if you have something to discuss..."
The sound of footsteps outside passed by and the discussion continued. Harry sat aside, fleeing from under the Fire Dragon's feet in a boredom. He was now lazy.
"...... He gave the warriors of his school ten, ten! Ha, don't you need to pay for the broken dragon egg?"
"If I were him, I would definitely be ashamed to see anyone!"
The intense conversation sounded outside, and Harry raised his head and blinked his eyes twice. He heard the two voices, which were Seamo Fenigan and Dean Thomas. He didn't know if his two roommates were deliberately trying to stand up because Kakarov only gave them 6 points.
In the tent, Kakarov's face turned blue, but he endured a strange look and said nothing.
Felix smacked his lips: "Although it is normal for the principal to prefer his own warriors, it is still rare to 'prefer' to this level... Maybe the scoring rules should be made more transparent."
"We will think seriously." Bagman immediately cooperated.
After more than ten minutes, the footsteps outside became sparse. Minister of Magic Connelly Forge stood up and touched his stomach. The gem ring on his thick fingers was grinding. He said enthusiastically: "I want to congratulate all the warriors and congratulate you on your successful passing the first level. I noticed that some teams had poor performance, but there was still a chance later... I will introduce the second project. I was originally going to let Batty come, but he took a long vacation. Maybe he was too tired. He was busy with two major projects in a row. I had to turn off the meeting of the Austrian Minister of Magic..."
No one was interested in his boring work log, but he still spoke for ten minutes, from the weird oral sex of the Austrian minister of magic to the crucible teapot of the president of the Extraordinary Pharmacists' Association, he seemed to want to add a little joke to his speech, but he was obviously unable to do so.
"Kinsley!" he shouted.
A tall and dark-skinned man walked in from outside the tent, holding two golden eggs, one in one hand.
"The second project will be held on the morning of February 24th next year. Before that, you can have a good rest." Fudge said: "The golden eggs in your hands are the clues of the second project. Do you see the gaps? They can be opened. You need to crack the information left behind. To be honest, I'm not sure if I will come again when the second project is underway. Maybe Barty has already maintained her body by then, but I might also come and join in the fun and be with the best group of wizards in the world. I feel like I'm younger..."
He waved his hand, and Kingsley controlled the two golden eggs to fly towards the Warriors of Demstrong and Ifamoni.
When Krum and Byles took the golden egg, both of them looked a little ashamed. Among the six teams, they were the only ones who did not protect the dragon egg.
"Ludo, I'll leave the rest to you." Fudge said to Bagman, and he nodded to everyone, "Sorry, there are too many things in the ministry, I'll leave first."
When everyone else left, Ludo Bagman finally had time to communicate with Felix alone, and he pulled over a chair and sat next to Felix's single sofa.
"There are two things that have something to do with you," he said impatiently. "The first thing involves a unique magic of yours. I want to ask about its effect. It may be used in the second project... The second thing is about your 'future world' company."
Felix was stunned and looked at him with a searching look: "Have you ever found Remus? He is in charge of the company now."
"I've found it," Bagman's expression sighed: "But he said he couldn't make a decision, so I can only come and beg you..."
"Do you want me to donate some money?"
"Oh, no, of course not. I heard that Remus is organizing people to develop projection technology? You also know that Barty has asked for leave, and now the burden is on me alone. In order to make the game look better, we must make some brave innovations. This is also part of the courage, what do you think?"
Felix thought quickly.
He knew about projection technology, and it was arranged by him, inspired by the panoramic telescope of the Quidditch World Cup. This gadget uses a very interesting magic that can temporarily store the picture.
Felix's requirement for the future world research team was to imitate the functions of the TV and make similar things. He mentioned some concepts of signal towers and extensions, and had magic radios as references. The progress was not slow, but he had not had time to ask in detail at which step he reached.
"Don't rush to refuse," Bagmann couldn't help saying, seeing Felix fall into deep thought, "This would be an excellent advertisement, and the ministry promised to pay a rent, of course... it's impossible to buy it, I have a limited budget."
"If it is a normal business transaction, I can't figure out the reason why Remus refuses." Felix said slowly.
"Ahem, he thinks I'm a big mouth and keeps the progress of the research confidential..." Bagman turned his head awkwardly.
"Okay, I'll ask for you."
"The first thing..." Bagman explained in detail.
After a moment of thinking
Chapter completed!
