Chapter 206: Clues in the Dragon Egg

After Krum left, Harry and Luo En originally intended to go up and talk to Hermione, but a sound of footsteps came, and they couldn't help but look back.

It was Elena, with a piece of bread in her mouth, trotting, waving at Hermione, and Hermione also noticed her, revealing a big smile.

Harry pulled Luo En to hide on the side, and under the protection of the Invisibility Cloak, the two hid very well.

"Fortunately, Beauxbatons' school uniform is high heels," Luo En's gaze was still uncontrollably staying on Hermione. "Otherwise we would have been spotted by her."

"That's right, but there's probably no chance this time; let's go first," Harry said.

When they returned to the train, they found Zhang Qiu and Cedric sitting together drinking tea, and with them was Donna.

"Congratulations, Harry," Donna said. "Students all say you are the most powerful."

"But not necessarily the smartest, right," Harry said with a bitter smile. "I am currently troubled by the clues."

"You mean the second task?" Donna said. "What clues are there now?"

"Yes, I have to ask you," Harry sat down by the booth. "Do you know Melody Pender?"

"Melody is the name of our river," Donna said without thinking. "As for Pender, maybe what she wants to say is Pond, which is that section of the river that forms a pond like a pond after turning."

"So, the second task will be held in the river?" Harry was stunned for a moment. "This seems to have some logic, but Durmstrang's big ship has been parked there; how should they arrange the task?"

"This is why the time for the second task is set in February; we will hold the Christmas dance on December 15th, and then you should go home for the holidays," Donna said. "Taking advantage of this time, they will go to arrange the task venue and use magic to hide it, and that will be fine."

"You seem to know a lot," Cedric said indifferently. "Where did you hear all this?"

"Except for the date of the dance being true, the rest are all my guesses," Donna leaned back very confidently. "You can go and solve the clues in the dragon egg; if there are no accidents, it will absolutely be able to correspond to the Meiledihe."

"Er, alright." Cedric looked somewhat confused.

"By the way, what kind of task will be set in the river?" Harry pondered. "But more importantly, how should we crack the mystery in the dragon egg?"

"These can all be put aside; I suggest you hurry up and worry about the Christmas dance," Donna said. "Champions and champions' partners need to be responsible for opening the dance."

"This shouldn't be difficult," Harry looked at Zhang Qiu. "Zhang Qiu, are you willing to be my partner?"

"According to divination... forget it, go to his divination, I am willing," she said.

"Oh, this is very good," Donna said. "But Cedric, you have to find a good girl. As for you, Luo En, if you need it, I can help you pull strings."

"I don't want to dance," Cedric said dryly. "Or you also help me pull strings... by the way, what does pulling strings mean?"

"No, no, no, this won't do," Donna waved her hand. "Although you are very handsome, there must be many girls coming to find you, but you need to pay attention to your identity. My meaning is, if Harry and a good girl like Zhang Qiu dance together, you can't just dance with any loose girl, right?"

"What about you?" Harry asked. "Are you willing to be Cedric's partner?"

"I'm sorry but, I have already promised Sean Temple," Donna skipped this topic. "But is there another plan, you leave Zhang Qiu to Luo En to watch, you and Cedric dance together, that would be great."

"I would rather fight ten more dragons," Harry felt his internal organs twisting and shrinking.

"Spare me, I still want to find a girlfriend," Cedric also said with a bitter smile.

"Yes, this is very critical; you have to know, no girl will refuse the invitation of a Triwizard Tournament champion," Donna tapped the table. "If you want a girlfriend, then this year is your best opportunity."

"Partner and girlfriend are not the same thing, right," Cedric frowned and said.

"Yes, the Killing Curse and beheading are not the same thing either," Donna rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I will study this matter," Cedric said guiltily. "But I want to ponder the dragon egg first; I seem to have some clues."

Saying this, he took out the brass dragon egg from the cabinet on the side and went out in a hurry.

"Ha, guess why Cedric doesn't have a girlfriend; he is clearly so handsome," Donna revealed a look of knowing everything.

"He can't really like boys, right," Luo En's skin twitched. "By the way, you haven't explained yet, what does pulling strings mean?"

"Pulling strings means I introduce you to some precocious loose girls," Donna squeezed Luo En's shoulder. "Just based on this figure of yours, these tendons and muscles, I must teach you the Contraceptive Curse."

Luo En's face turned red immediately, and he said incoherently: "Oh no, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, for example, for example, Cedric."

"I don't like discussing others behind their backs," Zhang Qiu looked at Donna with a scrutinizing look. "Talk about the next topic."

"Then talk about Krum; he seems to have broken up with Renata," Harry followed her suggestion and changed the topic.

"Yes, but Krum doesn't need to worry either," Luo En said. "His muscles might be better than mine."

"And he is tall; girls just eat this set," Harry said. "He looks silly and cute, which instead makes him look cute and gives people a sense of security."

"Yes, the one who pulls strings likes this kind of curly-haired baboon," Donna scratched her ribs exaggeratedly, causing everyone to laugh loudly.

"Ahem, but seriously," Harry said. "The current Krum is very troubled, not only about emotional problems; after Renata broke up with him, he also needs to consider the task."

For Harry, who knew the inside story, he thought Krum going to find Fleur was very appropriate. For one thing, he could harvest a sincere teammate, a teammate who was also fixing the match. For another, Fleur's beauty was no less than Renata's, which could provide him with some emotional sustenance.

Moreover, just as mentioned earlier, Krum was also very attractive in the eyes of girls. It was not impossible for him and Fleur to really have something happen. But the problem was—Hermione, who didn't know the inside story, conscientiously played the role of an assistant, and she firmly blocked Krum outside the door.

"Let's talk about other people's affairs later; we should go to class," Zhang Qiu patted his shoulder. "It's Potions class in the afternoon; try to learn more; Snape has never made the test paper simple."

Harry didn't have many things on his mind; he listened to the Potions class for an afternoon very easily, trying to remember the knowledge in his small head. Even if he didn't remember it, it didn't matter, because Luo En very conscientiously copied all the knowledge points the teacher said into the textbook.

In the evening, just when they finished dinner and were chatting leisurely in the carriage, Cedric bumped the door and came in in a hurry. His hair was wet, and his robes also looked stained with water.

"Is it raining outside?" Harry asked casually.

"No, I cracked the clues of the dragon egg," he said panting. "It is indeed a river."

Harry sat up immediately and asked happily: "What's the situation?"

"I was thinking, if the dragon egg has the dragon egg's clues, then why did Madame Maxime tell us that name separately, oh thanks." He took the towel Luo En handed over, wiped his hair while continuing to say, "I thought, perhaps she hinted that we could go to the riverside to open the dragon egg, so it wouldn't screech."

"But there was no effect; later I thought of another move," he sneezed and continued, "I went into the water, opened the dragon egg in the water, and what it emitted was singing."

"My God, it's at most two or three degrees outside," Zhang Qiu exclaimed. "You wait a moment, I'll brew you a cup of ginger tea."

"I wrote down all the lyrics," Cedric took out a piece of parchment. "Fortunately, he spoke English, otherwise we would be even more uncomfortable."

While Cedric was covered in a blanket drinking tea, Harry looked at the lyrics in the dragon egg in detail.

"One where the singing sounds, one where the story ends. Seek each other, but think carefully, who is hiding in the water grass, who is swimming in the river. Be careful of the clock ringing ding-dong, then you have lost the hope you just gained."

"This shouldn't be hard to guess," Harry muttered. "Provided the competition venue is really the Meiledihe."

"If we calculate according to that, what have you guessed?" Luo En asked curiously.

"The place where the singing sounds should refer to in the water; I don't know where the place where the story ends is. But it should mean that we need to act separately, and then be careful of the two kinds of enemies patrolling in the grass and in the river? Probably. I can understand the clock ringing ding-dong; maybe the competition is time-limited," Harry pondered for a while. "Alright, I only guessed a little bit."

"By the way, we can write to Neville to ask," Luo En said. "He seems to be very good at guessing riddles; do you remember? The riddle of Avalon was solved by him."

"But that was... that's right!" Harry slapped his thigh. "I'll write to Neville immediately."

What Harry thought in his heart was that as long as he wrote to Neville after the competition to tell him the specific content of the competition, and Neville used the Hyper-Ascension in February to return to the present, wouldn't he be able to know in detail everything that happened during the competition? He couldn't help but feel proud of his wit. ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
