Sorcerer Supreme at Hogwarts (English Versión)-Chapter 119: "First challenge: having Wanda compete is cheating."

"First challenge: having Wanda compete is cheating."

"Welcome to the Triwizard Tournament! I hope everyone at home is ready for the excitement of watching these fabulous and risky tasks. Before I announce the first challenge, I must give a warning to those with weak health: be careful, whether you're in the stands or at home, because the first challenge is... stealing an egg from a dragon that's incubating her eggs!" Ludo shouted excitedly, looking at the small orb floating in front of him.

This was the new camera that would be used to broadcast everything through magical television to the world.

"Moments ago, the participants were drawn to determine which dragon they would face. I won't say who got which one; you'll have to figure that out yourself," Ludo said, showing great presentation skills and proving that he was quite good with the cameras.

Meanwhile, in the stands, the students were full of excitement, shouting and making noise.

"Tsk. This place is so noisy, I hope it ends quickly," Loki said with annoyance as he sat with his brothers and family friends.

"Come on, don't say that. Our little brother is a competitor," Tony replied.

"I still don't understand. Harry is older than you all, why do you keep treating him like the youngest?" Hermione asked with interest.

"Because they're crazy, don't mind them," Stephen interrupted.

"I don't think you're the right person to say that, especially when you made us explode a couple of days ago," Natasha said, looking at him.

"Ugh, I still have muscle pain," Ron complained.

"Weakling," Stephen said mockingly.

"Stephen, do you think I could make Blacky's mom one of the dragons? Maybe she'd want to come out and play with everyone," Luna said, holding a small black dragon in her arms.

"They'd probably think it's an apocalypse dragon that wants to destroy the world, so it's better not to," Stephen quickly responded, while Luna got a little down and gently petted her small summoned dragon.

"Then maybe it's not such a bad idea," Stephen said, seeing Luna's discouragement.

"Stop having stupid ideas," Natasha said, giving Stephen an angry look. She knew that "Blacky's mom" was an extremely powerful dragon who could cause a lot of destruction without meaning to.

Although summoning magic was a mix of illusion and tangibility, the beings summoned had to be fully imagined, and once created, their parameters wouldn't change. The dragon Stephen created had once been a servant of a dimensional god with the same power.

Luckily, only people with the same level of magic as Stephen could summon it. If anyone else tried, they would only summon Luna's small dragon.

Then everyone watched in surprise as a Swedish Short-Snout was carried by several wizards to the center of the field.

"Now let's welcome our first champion, a cheerful girl who is stronger than she looks. Everyone give a round of applause to Wanda Flamel!" Ludo said, while all the Hogwarts students began clapping like crazy. All the houses were united.

Then Wanda entered, cheerfully waving, with not a hint of seriousness on her face.

Everyone watched as Wanda, unprepared, simply walked toward the dragon, which, upon sensing her presence, quickly stared at her.

"Hello, how are you?" Wanda said calmly, while many held their breath with concern.

Everyone watched as the dragon brought its head closer to Wanda, fearing for her life.

But what they saw next surprised them more than if Wanda had used a spell to defeat the dragon.

The dragon brought its face closer to Wanda while she happily petted it.

"Haha, you're quite affectionate, aren't you?" Wanda said, while petting it joyfully.

The caretakers who had brought the dragon exchanged surprised looks, as they knew firsthand how difficult it had been to move it from the forest to here. And bringing it from Romania... they couldn't even talk about that.

"You have a fake egg, is it okay if I take it?" Wanda said, pointing to the golden egg mixed among the dragon's real eggs.

The dragon quickly moved her eggs and used her claws to throw the fake egg aside, which Wanda calmly caught before saying goodbye to the dragon, petting it once more.

Meanwhile, Ludo, completely shocked, had gone silent and forgotten to do his job, so McGonagall approached and gave him a little tap on the back.

"Cough... Sorry. But that was something that left me speechless, and surely many of you at home as well. The Hogwarts champion, Wanda Flamel, has easily obtained the golden egg!" Ludo quickly said.

"This was something nobody expected. It was as if the dragon just handed her the egg as if it were nothing. Now, I'll introduce the judges before the voting," Ludo said, while the camera zoomed out to show those sitting beside him.

"The head judge, from the English Ministry of Magic, is Director Amelia Bones. Then there's your humble servant, Ludo Bagman. Following that is our beloved Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore; the beautiful Headmistress of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxime; and last but certainly not least, our former Dark Lord and now Headmaster of Durmstrang... Gellert Grindelwald."

Everyone was shocked by the last name, but they were more or less aware of his release. After all, Stephen had made sure the magical television news reminded everyone to avoid chaos. It was also announced that he was under a powerful magical contract that prevented him from reconnecting with his followers should they want to reappear to follow him.

So, over time, everyone had accepted that Grindelwald was somewhat free without complaining too much.

Although, seeing how young and cool he looked, he had also gained some new admirers.

Then, all the judges, without showing any concern for favoring their school, voted in unison, raising the maximum number.

"So, in our first task, the first champion takes the exact figure of 50 perfect points!" Ludo announced, while everyone in the stands began shouting in support.

"This is truly surprising and possibly the first time something like this has happened in a Triwizard Tournament, right?" Ludo asked, looking at his fellow judges.

"Well, after all, it's the first time I've seen this kind of understanding with a dragon. Even the famous Newt Scamander wouldn't achieve something like this as easily as Wanda," Amelia said with a calm smile.

"Truly fascinating. It makes me proud of my students," Dumbledore commented, smiling softly like the elderly man he was.

"Well, it's a little sad, since both she and Stephen should have ended up at Beauxbatons. But I'm glad they're doing well here," Madame Maxime said with a bit of sadness for having lost such talented students.

Meanwhile, the Hogwarts professors thought that maybe it would have been great for both of them to study at Beauxbatons. But they quickly discarded those thoughts, as by now, they had grown quite fond of them.

"I can only say it's something fabulous. What was expected from the granddaughter of the Flamel couple... and the brother of that little brat," Grindelwald said calmly.

"So, we say goodbye to Wanda for today, while the caretakers take the dragon and her eggs back to her cage before returning her to her home. And they bring out the next dragon for the next challenger," Ludo quickly said.

Meanwhile, in the stands, in Stephen and company's section...

"Well, it was so obvious it was boring," Stephen said, watching as the dragon keepers struggled to take the dragon away. Wanda even came out again to help them.

"I hope Harry has the same luck," Hermione said worriedly.

"Hahaha, it's Harry. He and luck don't get along... or maybe they do, I don't know," Fred said, appearing behind them along with George, as they were placing bets.

They had just made some good money, as they had bet exactly on what had just happened. After all, they had been with Stephen since the first year and often went to the Flamel mansion, so they knew quite well how surprising these siblings could be.

"Anyway, if he loses an arm, Tony can make him one with Muggle technology," George said.

"Don't say things like that," Ron quickly said, defending his friend.

Although both raised their hands in surrender.

"So, who's next?" Tony asked.

"Fleur," Stephen replied with a smile.

"Then, it looks like our bet is about to win quickly," Fred said with a proud smile.

"Remember that betting is prohibited. And you're in front of a professor," Natasha said, giving them a smile.

"If we tell you Sirius' plan for a prank against Snape, will you overlook it?" the Weasley twins quickly asked, negotiating with Natasha.

She thought for a few seconds and then responded with annoyance:

"Fine."

Then, the twins led her aside, not caring about revealing Sirius' plan just to get off the hook.
