Chapter 583: How to Get Through the Dragon
As for how to help Ron get through the dragon, Evan had recently thought of many ways and prepared some things.
With the help of these things, Ron basically wouldn’t have any problems as long as he was not too stupid.
Of course, if he was talking about borrowing the Philosopher’s Stone or doubting him, Evan would just turn around, walk away, and leave him alone.
Since Ron thought he was relying on the Philosopher’s Stone to become stronger, then, let him think about it!
Going on like that over and over again, Evan would get bored no matter how good tempered he was.
Although Ron wasn’t strong enough to face up with a Dark wizard, he could make the right choice or play a role at the critical moment. He also had courage and many advantages, just like many ordinary young wizards.
However, his willpower was too weak to keep up with his strength and his character had great flaws. He always envied and suspected people who were stronger than him, instead of striving hard to catch up.
These shortcomings were fatal compared to the less obvious advantages.
This combination made him the easiest to break in the team, and he was one to attract trouble.
Just like this Triwizard Tournament, whether Harry or Ron became a champion, it had little impact on Dumbledore’s and Evan’s plans. Evan only cared about whether Voldemort could resurrect with Harry’s blood. That was the key point.
As for how Barty Crouch Jr. intended to bring Harry out of school, it was not his main concern.
However, it would be very bad if Ron didn’t pass the first task or did something big with the Philosopher’s Stone. That would definitely push Bartemius Crouch, Jr., who was hiding in the dark, to change his plans or even focus on the Philosopher’s Stone to drag Evan down.
Regardless of whether something came from Ron’s subjective will or not, Evan didn’t want to leave a time bomb around him. Faced with the combination of evil spirits and Voldemort, he had to be careful.
“Ron, what you need to do now is to master the Conjunctivitis Curse as soon as possible!” Hermione also persuaded, aware that the mood was a bit too bad. “Sirius said that with this spell, the dragon can be easily dealt with.”
“You will definitely get through this. We will help you without reservation.” said Harry, nodging Ron not to say more, “I believe Evan. That Philosopher’s Stone would be useless for you, don’t think about it.”
Although he also thought that the Philosopher’s Stone was very strong, he still believed what Evan said that the magic in it could not be directly absorbed and utilized.
Harry felt that since Evan had said so, it must be true. After such a long contact, he was able to realize that Evan was not the kind of person who would refuse to lend Ron the Philosopher’s stone just for being stingy.
What’s more, in Harry’s opinion, Evan was now so strong, and knew a lot about magic as a result of his accumulation of learning in the library day after day. He had never seen any young wizard working as hard as Evan.
As for the Philosopher’s Stone, it was just the icing on the cake, and it did not play a decisive role.
The atmosphere in the Common Room was deadly, and after an awkward silence, Ron sat down again.
He looked now as though he had exhausted all his power and energy at once. Ron didn’t seem to have expected Evan to refuse so vigorously, nor did it occur to him that even Harry wouldn’t support him.
All he knew was that he could not get the Philosopher’s Stone from Evan, and that there was no hope for him at all.
He was too weak now to have any leverage to defy Evan. On the contrary, he still needed his help. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, it was true.
“What should I do then? My spell won’t work on the dragon,” muttered Ron, looking expectantly at Evan.
“As I said before, I will help you!” Evan sighed and said, “The biggest weakness of the dragons is in their eyes. The Conjunctivitis Curse is the simplest way to defeat them. You can’t master other profound magic, not in time.”
Evan knew a lot about the effective spells against the dragons, but none of them was something Ron could use at the moment, except for the Conjunctivitis Curse.
“Only the Conjunctivitis Curse?” said Ron dejectedly.
He felt very uncomfortable at the thought of using this spell in front of the terrible dragon.
“You can also use the Summoning Charm, do you know this spell?!” Evan continued. “Through Accio, you can summon helpful items to you, such as a broomstick, which is in line with the rules.”
“Evan, you mean Ron could ride on a broomstick?!” Harry said quickly.
“Yeah … I’ve seen Ron’s flight. It’s not as good as yours, but it’s great!” said Evan, “As long as he rides on a broomstick, Ron has the advantage of speed, and he’d be faster than the dragon. It’s easy to get around the dragon and get what it guards, or to use the Conjunctivitis Curse to avoid the fire.”
“That’s a very helpful idea. How did you come up with it?” Hermione said happily, thinking it was feasible. “The spell is simple, Ron, remember, Professor Flitwick taught us last week. Just give me one day, and I can help you master it completely. Just focus; It’s easy to do.”
“I can lend you the Firebolt. It’s the fastest broom in the world!” said Harry with a smile.
“All right!” Ron looked at the eyes of Evan, Harry, and Hermione, and calmed down. As long as he didn’t have direct contact with the dragon, things should not be too difficult. “I can try, but just in case…”
“You want to say, what if you are hit by the fire of the dragon, don’t you?!” asked Evan.
Ron nodded. That was what he was most worried about. Those creatures could shoot fire up to 40 feet away.
“It’s also easy to handle. With the help of this Fire Protection Potion, you can be immune to all the flames for five minutes!” Evan took out a black bottle. “The fire of the dragon can’t hurt you. I’ve prepared ten bottles for you; that should be enough.”
Harry, Ron and Hermione weren’t too surprised that Evan could take the potion out. They knew that, for a long time, Evan went to a room on the seventh floor every Wednesday afternoon to cook the potion.
The question now was whether this potion was really as good as Evan said.
“I know this potion. Remember when we went together to prevent Quirrell from getting the Philosopher’s Stone in the first year?!” said Harry, looking at the potion in Evan’s hand, “On Snape’s test, I finally drank this potion before I got through the fire wall.”
“It’s not only one kind of potion, but the principle is almost the same,” Evan explained, “The flame from the dragon is also a kind of magic fire. According to the type, the nature of the flame is different. This time you need to face it. The dragons that need to be faced this time are the Hungarian Horntail, The Common Welsh Green, the Swedish Short-Snout and the Chinese Fireball. They are all pure-bred breeds. The methods of preparing Fire Protection Potions against their fires have long been studied. I’ll bring all these potions with me before the task, and give you the one you need.”
