Chapter 481 "Stealing The Dragons"

"Can't I say goodbye to them both?" Outside the castle, Sean said to the two members of the clan.

The leading wizard has thin lips and slender eyes, and his words are as mean as his appearance, "Mr. Wallup, your close relationship with the dragons is not within our consideration. Our task is to bring the dragon over and return it safely. You saying bid farewell to it will only add more trouble. It's just a dragon, and we don't need to consider their emotions."

He looked around, and after making sure that few people were paying attention, he asked, "Sir, by now, you should also know the relationship between this dragon and me, right? The one who came here back then also promised me that I could meet the dragon whenever I wanted it."

The wizard interrupted him, "That is someone else's promise, not mine."

"Can I buy it with money? Your clan will sell various materials of the dragon. If you set a price, I can give you one." Sean asked.

"The clan has no shortage of Galleons. Okay, Mr. Wallup, the private conversation after the dinner is already the greatest respect I can give you." After saying this, the two members of the clan walked away without hesitation.

Sean watched them leave and sighed.

Ludo had been quietly looking at them and came over, "What's the matter, Sean?"

Sean smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, sir."

Ludo said, "In my opinion, the clan members are not smart enough. For such an outstanding young wizard, even if he doesn't intend to make friends, he doesn't have to be so unreasonable toward you."

Sean sighed, "I just want to say goodbye to those two..."

Ludo had an expression of "I understand your feelings" and patted Sean on the shoulder, "Don't take it to heart; some wizarding families are like this."

"Thank you, sir," Sean said politely.

"Taking care of the players' mood is also within the organizer's consideration," Ludo said with a smile.

Sean was still not in high spirits. He glanced at the castle. Dinner had just ended, and the students were walking toward the common room. There were many people at the castle's gate, and everyone was excitedly discussing today's game.

Just when Ludo was about to say a few more words to Sean, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"What's wrong?" Ludo looked back, and Sean also looked over.

Two people, Hugo and Draco, were confronting each other in the crowd. They fought for some reason, but they had already pulled out their wands at this moment.

Hugo's face has some wounds from today's game, which the dragon's barbs scratched. He should have stayed in the infirmary but was quickly discharged because he couldn't give up the delicious food at the dinner. The two seemed to be arguing fiercely, and their anger was already on the rise. Ludo saw this scene and hurried over.

"Hey guys, don't fight." Before the words fell to the ground, Draco fired a spell directly, and Bagman happened to walk between the two of them.

Ludo's eyes widened, and a surge of force rushed behind him. At the last moment, someone pushed him away. He looked back in surprise and saw that Sean had just been hit by Draco's spell.

Sean covered his stomach. The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and Draco looked bewildered.

"Hey, are you alright?" Ludo anxiously supported Sean.

"I'm okay..." Sean knelt on one knee, showing a painful expression.

"What spell are you using?!" Ludo asked Draco loudly.

"It's just a small jinx...it will make people..." Draco was a little flustered, and he tried to help Sean up.

At this time, Professor McGonagall rushed over and concluded some inspection.

"Draco violated the school rules and used a curse, and he will be punished next week. I will tell your head of house later," Professor McGonagall said seriously, "and Hugo, don't think just because you are a delegate from Nurmengard, you can be exempted from punishment. I will report the situation to your principal."

"Sean," She turned her head, and her tone suddenly became much gentler, "It's not a big problem, but your brave behavior deserves a commendation. Twenty points for Ravenclawn, and I think Mr. Bagman would agree."

"Of course," Ludo said loudly and looked at Sean with gratitude and appreciation in his eyes.

"The condition is not serious, but it still needs to be checked. You should sleep in the infirmary tonight."

Sean nodded and walked towards the infirmary with Ludo.

Madam Pomfrey checked and said: "It's not a big problem. The curse just binds a few intestines together, and it seems that your resistance to the curse is not bad, and it has eased now. Just in case, just drink this bottle of potion and sleep well."

Sean nodded and drank the potion, lying down on the hospital bed. 

Ludo spoke with Madam Pomfrey for a few seconds and finally said to Sean, "Rest well. Thank you for your action today."

Sean smiled weakly, "You're welcome, sir."

"Mr. Bagman, it's time for you to leave. He needs to rest, and the potion also has a drowsiness effect. Sleep well." Madam Pomfrey said to Sean.

"Good night, everyone." Ludo greeted, closed the door, and left.

Silence returned to the infirmary, and Madam Pomfrey waited until Sean fell into a deep sleep. Then, she extinguished the torch and returned to her office. The night was dark, and suddenly, an extremely loud dragon's roar resounded, which could be faintly heard in the infirmary near the Forbidden Forest.

Madam Pomfrey came out with her clothes on. She first glanced at Sean and found that he was still asleep, but his brows were slightly frowned upon. After thinking about it, she raised her wand, cast a Sound-Repelling Spell on the window, and walked away.

Sean turned over in the hospital bed. The castle lights were extinguished one by one, and darkness completely enveloped the surrounding area. A hidden figure gradually emerged from the clouds.

It's Sean. He stretched his body and took out something; this was the potion. He's not under the spell; of course, he doesn't need to drink the potion.

"Draco is quite reliable, and the time and place are just right," Sean said with a smile.

The conflict between Draco and Hugo was because of his order. Draco's spell was not aimed at Hugo at all. His target was Ludo, and Sean was behind him. Of course, Draco had a good grasp of the angle. In the eyes of others, it was Sean who pushed Ludo away and was hit by the curse.

Sean's reason for doing this is simple: to find the perfect alibi, and Ludo is a good candidate. He glanced at the clouds and then flew in one direction at top speed. During the flight, his body was constantly twisting, and the figure gradually covered the sky.

----

"Keep an eye on it," the wizard in charge told the team members. He didn't see that Wallup kid, and he was in a bad mood when he set off. Be careful that he will break free from the cage."

"Yes." The team members responded loudly.

Between the ten broomsticks hung two huge cages containing the dragons. The group of people flying in the air was the MacFusty clan. The leading wizard circled back and forth and checked again before flying to the front of the team. Their task now was to bring the dragon back to their territory.

He didn't like the boy named Wallup, and he felt a little uncomfortable with the relationship between him and the dragons. He glanced at the black dragon in the cage.

"Boss!" A team member from the side called him loudly.

"What's wrong?"

"The dragon doesn't look right."

"I said it all because that kid didn't come."

"No, the dragon looks disturbed, like being threatened!"

Hearing this, he hurriedly looked closer to the cage. The dragon lying in the cage was snorting uneasily, and a threatening growl came out.

He suddenly widened his eyes, thinking of an incident a few years ago. At that time, a brutal Hungarian Horntail invaded the Hebridean dragon. The most violent race among the dragons wreaked havoc and even killed several of them. He had seen the dragons threatened by the Hungarian Horntail at that time.

This is the look of facing an enemy. But they are flying in the air now.

"Boss!" The team members around him yelled in horror.

He turned his head sharply. The moon was covered, and a figure zoomed in rapidly, blocking his entire field of vision.

"Hungarian Horntail!" He screamed.

All ten broomsticks pulled out their wands and aimed at the Hungarian Horntail. Their hands shook wildly as the dragon soared in the sky. The spell shot out, but the dragon suddenly spread its wings and rose, and the magic spell was completely blocked.

With two screams in a row, the leading wizard saw that his two men couldn't escape, had their broom smashed off, and were falling towards the ground at a very fast speed.

"Damn! How can there be a wild Hungarian Horntail in here?"

While directing two people to catch the falling hapless egg, he continuously cast the Eye Sickness Curse on the Hungarian Tree Peak Dragon.

However, the dragon seemed to have experience in fighting wizards. With a nimble dodge, the Conjunctivitis Curse hit the scales on its chest, leaving only faint white marks. 

Three more broomsticks were taken down. The clansmen were lucky enough not to be directly hit by the dragon's tail, but without the help of the broomsticks, they could only fall to the ground. 

There were only two people left who could still move. At this time, another person shouted in horror, "The Hebridean Dragon! They're breaking the cage!"

The leading wizard gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Undo the spell and let those two dragons come out!"

The two avoided the Hungarian dragon's attack and aimed at the cage. The cage is loose. Two deafening dragon roars sounded, and the Hebridean dragon was freed. The Hungarian dragon realized that his real opponent had been released. It hastily swept the tail of the broomstick of the remaining wizards.

He cried out in pain, lost his balance, and fell quickly. Fortunately, the Hungarian dragon had already rushed towards the two Hebridean dragons. There were no clansmen left in the air.

The three dragons bit together while flying, and the night sky was dyed golden red by the continuously protruding flames. The wizards landed on the ground, and the leader checked it out. Fortunately, except for a little scratch, his clansmen were all fine, but there were only four broomsticks left.

"Boss, what should we do?" A member asked anxiously.

In the sky, the three dragons fought and flew farther and farther away, and from a distance, the two Hebridean dragons were at a disadvantage, and it seemed that they were already preparing to escape.

He clenched his teeth and glanced at the people around him.

"Boss, do you want us to follow them?" The subordinate continued to ask.

He smashed the broom that was broken in two into the ground and said angrily, "The dragon may still go to us later, but if the Hungarian Horntail is relentless, there isn't much anything to do."

He looked at the sky, and at this time, the three dragons had turned into three small dots, gradually disappearing under the night; only the roar of the dragons from the sky from time to time proved that they were still fighting.

The leading wizard glanced at the people around him and sighed, "Let's go back to Hogwarts first. Ask them to borrow some broomsticks."

In the night sky, three dragons were flying side by side. From time to time, they let out angry "dragon roars" and breathed out a few mouthfuls of breath. After "fighting" for a while, the three dragons flew up and over the clouds.

The figure of the Hungarian Horntail is rapidly shrinking.
