Chapter 478 "Moving At A Fast Speed"

"Oh, this is amazing! In this way, Sean and the others will be the last ones to face a tired magical animal!" In the stands, a student looked at the magical animal in the field with a magic telescope and said excitedly.

"It's quite the opposite," Someone replied to him.

"What do you mean? Who are you to say that? Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Scamander." The student was embarrassed.

Newt turned his head and smiled, "I'm here just to please don't take it to heart."

"But, professor, why did you come to that conclusion?"

"Because that animal is different now. It's not easy even for me to deal with cockatrice?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just watch, you'll see." Newt smiled.

----

"Let's invite the last group, Sean Wallup, Daisy Potter, and Stephanie Ollivander from Hogwarts!" With Ludo's announcement, the tent was lifted.

Sean was walking in front and squinted his eyes. The weather in the Scottish Highlands is really nice today. Cheers and applause greeted the three. When he looked from the bottom, he could only see a sea of people.

"It seems that everyone is looking forward to us." Sean turned his head and said to Daisy with a smile.

"Yes." Daisy gulped, still a little nervous.

Sean smiled slightly and asked, as he walked forward, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Huh?"

"We can quickly end it, go to the kitchen, and talk to the house elf. Of course, we have to avoid Hermione later. She is very dissatisfied with my behavior of telling the house elf to cook something for me."

"Ah,..." Daisy looked at Sean in a daze as he walked forward slowly.

"Let's go." Stephanie pulled Daisy up, and the two followed.

"Now, they have entered the field!" Ludo shouted excitedly, pointing his wand at his throat, "They are about to see their first opponent, a very angry cockatrice!"

Sean and the others stood on the edge of the field, while in the center of the field was a tall ridge. Behind the ridge, the low voice of the dragons could be faintly heard. That was their goal, and they were going to deal with the cockatrice first.

But the cockatrice has completely lost its mind. It is about seven meters tall and has a huge chicken head with white spots all over it, and the comb spreads out like a crown. This is a signal that the cockatrice has completely lost its mind.

The body, like a lizard, has a lot of scorched black and scars. It seems that the first few teams held back when attacking it. Under the thighs of the huge reptilian animal were huge chicken feet, all black and gleaming with a frightening light.

Without any hesitation, after spotting Sean and the others, it made a piercing cry and rushed straight forward crazily.

The audience screamed, and Ludo started to comment, "It is completely different from the previous teams that appeared! The cockatrice didn't even have time to greet them, and it wanted to attack them immediately!"

In the referee's seat, Karkaroff snorted, "This beast is completely insane, Dumbledore. I suggest you watch carefully, or the first death from this Tournament will happen."

Dumbledore didn't speak, but Grindelwald laughed happily, "I wonder how long will it take?"

Karkaroff glanced and frowned.

"I guess five seconds," Grindelwald said with a smile.

Karkaroff said flatteringly, "I think he can last a little longer..."

"I didn't mean that as Sean."

"Oh, is Wallup talking to his teammates? But isn't it too late to discuss the strategy now?!" Ludo shouted in surprise.

"This one is very similar to the Basilisk. The cockatrice is hatched from a rooster's egg by a poisonous snake. Its eyes are deadly, but it is not as terrifying as the Basilisk. The venom comes from its comb. So you need to be careful with it." Sean was explaining the cockatrice to his teammates.

"I remembered everything, but he is coming!" Daisy pointed behind him.

"This creature is much easier to deal with than imagined, especially when it is in a state of madness. Remember to close your eyes, or it will make you uncomfortable for a long time."

As Sean talked, he turned his back on the cockatrice."

"Merlin's beard! What's wrong with him? He turned his back on the cockatrice! Could it be that he already was ready to die?"

"Sean!" Someone in the audience shouted, and many people covered their mouths.

The piercing cry of the cockatrice sounded from behind Sean. The girls screamed, not daring to watch the next scene anymore.

Sean looked at Daisy and Stephanie, and the cockatrice figure finally towered over him, covering his whole body with its shadow.

A terrifying giant hand broke through the ground from behind Sean and squeezed the cockatrice.

The dust fell on his shoulders, and Sean patted it, "Even Flobberworms can sense the magic power, but sadly, this animal can't due to its mind state."

The sudden appearance of a giant hand made the entire stand fall into silence. The wand that Ludo pointed at his throat was trembling.

"That's my student!" Professor McGonagall shouted excitedly. The pride on her face could not be contained.

At this moment, Ludo reacted, "What an amazing Transfiguration!"

"Sean!!" Cheers rushed over.

"Sean..." Daisy and Stephanie opened their eyes wide.

"You were secretly casting a spell when you entered the field." Stephanie said.

"The cockatiel doesn't have any new tricks, especially if it has no sane thoughts left." Sean took the rope from Daisy and waved his wand casually. The rope fluttered over and tied a beautiful bow on the cockatrice. 

Grindelwald laughed happily. Karkaroff's eyes widened; this level of Transfiguration came from a fifth-grade student.

"Albus, there is a monster in your school." Madam Maxime said softly.

Dumbledore couldn't help showing a smile. 

In the center of the field, Sean and the others were heading towards the goal of this stage.

As they approached, Sean took a deep breath and smiled happily, "Ah, this feels familiar."

Daisy was not nervous at all and poked Sean, "Sean, you have never met an adult dragon."

Sean smiled, froze, and said angrily, "I transformed into one, okay?"

"Do you really want to expose your Animagus to communicate with those two dragons?" Stephanie stopped in her tracks.

Two pairs of terrifying vertical pupils are firmly fixed on the three of them. The behemoth opens its jaws wide at the sight of the intruders, and two dragon roars can be heard.

The dragons are rising.

Sean's pupils shrank.

"The Dragon couple discovered our warriors. My God! Why is the situation of this team always so different? These two dragons are more ferocious than the Hungarian Horntail, and they were rushing over."

The dust kicked up by the wings, and the dragon's roar made everyone's hearts go crazy.

"These two dragons from the Hebrides are a couple. They are currently in their best mood. We can see that the larger one is the male one. In order to protect his wife, he is already angry. Get ready to run away!" Ludo was yelling.

The male dragon was more ferocious than the female dragon. It roared one after another as if it had been greatly disturbed, and the audience had already blocked their ears. Hot flames accompanied the dragon's roar, and the temperature of the entire field was rising rapidly.

Newt had been watching all this and frowned. Under normal circumstances, the ferocious one should be the female dragon because of its instinct.

"The dragon is completely enraged. How will our warriors deal with it...huh?" Ludo's eyes widened.

On the ground, Sean's eyes also widened. He stood there motionless, still muttering to himself.

"Mr. Wallup?! Why is he standing still?!"

"The dragon is not a cockatrice that has lost its mind, and a Transfiguration can't trap such a powerful monster. Could it be said that he was really scared to move?!"

The audience blocked their ears, "Why is he not moving? Will he plan something again with Transfiguration?"

"Don't be stupid, that's impossible. The opponents are two dragons!"

"Walep is a Dragon Whisperer, have you forgotten?!"

"But looking at the dragon's appearance, especially the male dragon, how can a completely angry dragon listen to him?"

"It's over. Why is Sean still not moving? The dragon is rushing over!"

In the center of the field, the male dragon moved straight at Sean like an arrow. It even opened its mouth wide and its sharp white teeth. The girls screamed. Even the professors couldn't sit still, and Professor McGonagall was about to raise her wand to intervene.

"Minerva, calm down. Don't disturb them." Dumbledore gently pressed her hand.

"But, Albus, Sean had stopped moving. This is not a Transfiguration technique... huh?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.

Under everyone's gaze, the male dragon rushed towards Sean and moved its head down forcefully.

"Referees, don't you want to intervene?!" Ludo yelled.

It's over, it's too late, that's what the audience thought.

"Has Sean been eaten?" the girl didn't dare open her eyes and asked tremblingly.

Only silence answered her.

"What's going on?" The girl boldly opened her eyes secretly.

She saw her classmates staring blankly at the center of the field as if they had been petrified. Almost everyone around her has this expression.

"Is Sean eaten..." She turned to look and saw a scene that would never be forgotten in her life.

The male dragon was now lowering its head and rubbing its head toward Sean's hand, like a pet owner petting his cat. Even the roar of the dragon turned into a soft roar like a lost pet finally meeting its owner.

The girls were shocked.

In the center of the arena, Daisy looked at Sean with a petrified expression. She turned her head away. Even Stephanie was no better than herself.

Sean said just now, "This is too coincidental. I just met an old friend."

"Long time no see..."

He touched the rough scales on the nose of the dragon and pressed his body against them.

Sean sighed deeply while gently stroking the dragon. "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown up so much. You even have a wife. How are you?"

Under everyone's gaze, he tapped the dragon's nose hard, and the dragon roared happily.
