Cheating is a Triwizard Tournament Tradition!

After breakfast, the three of them did not waste any time and found an empty classroom to begin teaching.

"The Soaring Charm is not a difficult spell to learn, and spells and gestures are easy enough. However, it usually requires a strong enough will and determination!"

This was not the first time Ivan had taught magic to others, and he had accumulated a lot of experience in class. Many professors had praised him "kindly".

Harry listened with great attention, and the danger posed by the dragon caused him to lose his undisciplined learning attitude, and become even more nervous than he had been when he was practising the art of guarding.

Once Ivan had explained the essentials of the spell, Harry eagerly took his Firebolt and practiced it over and over again.

Hermione, who did not have to participate in the dangerous games, was not idle, and she learned these spells as Harry did.

In addition to her desire to improve her skills and reduce the gap between them, there was also the fear that Ivan would talk about practicing Legilimency when she had time.

The memory of that fateful day made her feel ill at ease, but Ivan seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned it again.

Unaware of Hermione's thoughts, Ivan had no time to ponder them.

As he instructed Harry on how to cast the charm, he was perfecting the plan he had come up with — to convince Norbert to play along with him in a rigged match!

Yes, fake matches!

Dragons were not easy creatures to deal with, as they were extremely strong and resistant to magic.

It usually took at least five specially trained dragon tamers to keep an enraged dragon under control without casualties!

Ivan felt that if he wanted to do this in a short period of time, he would have to cast Empowerment Runes on Obscurus, Thunderbolt Explosion, and even the Killing Curse.

However, doing so would not only reveal one's mastery of the Dark Arts, but would also create very bloody images that would lead to unnecessary misunderstandings of oneself.

It would be even worse if the dragon went on a rampage and destroyed the egg.

Therefore, Ivan felt that it would be better to find a suitable dragon to act in a "wonderful" exciting battle. Everyone would be saved the trouble and perhaps even perform an extremely exaggerated visual effect, causing an uproar!

It just so happened that he had heard from Charlie yesterday that Norbert had been chosen by the Romanian Trick Squad and had presumably been trained in this field, so he should be easy to communicate with…

The more Ivan thought about it, the more impressed he became with the idea. He refused to believe that Karkaroff and Maxim would find a reason to deduct points from his perfect performance!

However, Ivan soon frowned again, as there was a loophole in this plan, and that was how to ensure that Norbert was selected for the match.

In the original timeline, when the champions were choosing dragons, Hogwarts, as the host, gave Fleur and Krum the first pick in order to experience magnanimity.

If they chose Norbert, wouldn't his plan go down the drain?

Throughout the morning, Ivan's furrowed brow never relaxed, but he was unable to think of a solution to the problem.

The only good news was that, after a morning's practice, Harry had a rudimentary grasp of the charm!

Although he was not proficient at it, and the Firebolt would occasionally disobey his summons, Harry was so happy that he thought he would be able to begin the study of eye spells in another hour.

Hermione's progress was faster than Harry's, and she was able to summon every object in the room within three hours.

"Let's take a break, Harry, Hermione! Let's eat, get some rest, and get on with it!" Yvonne checked the time. It was lunchtime and they had been practising for almost four hours.

No matter how important learning was, one had to strike a balance between work and rest… Casting spells for a long period of time was mentally draining.

Harry nodded, stopped wearily, put on his Firebolt, and headed for the Great Hall with Ivan.

Along the way, the young witches and wizards they met took the initiative to greet them. Ivan noticed that they had a large badge pinned to the front of their robes.

Written in large red letters were the words "Ivan Hals Must Die!", which flashed from time to time, and the badges of a few people changed and changed into "Support the Warrior Harry Potter!"

Harry also noticed this, and his tired spirit was lifted, as he felt an inexplicable excitement.

The dragon he was about to face didn't seem so scary anymore. In fact, he couldn't wait to master his magic and perform on the field to prove himself a worthy champion!

"Hey, Ivan, Harry, over here!"

As they entered the Great Hall, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the Gryffindor table.

Ivan turned around and saw that it was the brothers George and Fred. He stopped in his tracks and walked over.

"The game is tomorrow. Are you ready? We've even bought a celebratory flag!" George put his arm around Ivan's shoulders and pulled him to the seat beside him.

Fred, on the other hand, looked worriedly from Ivan to Harry…

"It's all right, you'll see!"

Harry, emboldened by the knowledge that he would soon be able to prove himself on the field, vowed,

Harry's answer caught George and Fred by surprise, and they exchanged a glance, having already guessed what Harry was going to say.

"By the way, George, Fred, I heard that you bet on the World Quidditch Cup and lost everything. Is that right?" Yvonne interrupted.

"Who says we lost? We got it right, bet a hundred Galleons on Ireland — and Viktor Krum caught the Golden Snitch! But Mr. Bagman forcibly withheld all our money, and now he owes us six hundred Galleons!" George corrected Ivan in exasperation.

Fred, who was standing nearby, was also furious when Ivan mentioned this.

Ivan's lips curled into a smile at their reaction. He'd figured out how to make sure he got Norbert for the match…
