Chapter 274, the aftermath of the game

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall walked in, and Karkaroff immediately wilted at the sight of Dumbledore's disgruntled expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Dumbledore looked around at everyone and said with a blank face, "I can prove to Bruce that his spell is not a forbidden spell. ā€

"Hear no, hear no, it's not a forbidden spell!" Ron said very "arrogantly".

Barty couldn't stand it anymore and asked angrily, "Who are you?" What rights are there here? ā€

Ron was stunned and didn't know how to answer, then Bruce said slowly, "Ron and Hermione are my and Harry's military advisors, and they are our competition assistants. I guess that...... Rector Karkaroff and Madame Maxim should be fine, right!? ā€

Bruce knew that Karkaroff and Maxim had secretly helped Krum and Fleur, and both of them were playing side balls, so the two naturally couldn't refute Bruce's words.

"Humph!" Barty glanced at the four of them dissatisfied, then said to Dumbledore; "Albus, you are also a referee, you should give everyone an explanation."

Dumbledore laughed, "I've just explained, and I can prove that the spell Bruce cast is not a spell. ā€

"Please forgive me for interrupting!" Karkaroff said, but his expression did not mean "forgiveness" at all, and he said: "Whether it is a forbidden spell or not is not up to you, Albus!" The Ministry of Magic should have decided that a fourteen-year-old student had defeated a dragon with a spell we had never seen before, and I think that was reason enough to suspect him. ā€

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were angry, and Karkaroff was deliberately finding fault, and Harry said angrily: "Mr. Karkaroff, you ......"

"Potter, ramming a guest isn't what a Hogwarts student should do." Dumbledore laughed.

Harry nodded aggrievedly, and Dumbledore continued, "I know that you are all very famous wizards, and it is natural to be suspicious of a spell you don't know, not to mention the power of this spell shocks us. But I want to remind you that just because you know our magic doesn't mean you know the ways of the East! ā€

"Oriental? Taoism? ā€

Everyone was stunned, and Bruce was also surprised by these words, because Hades had once said to him that "Nirvana" was a spell created by the fusion of Dao Method.

Barty was surprised and said, "Those strange wizards in China? ā€

Dumbledore laughed, "No, Barty! They just don't like to be in people's sight, and that doesn't mean they're weird. This summer, Bruce went to China to study as an exchange student at Hogwarts, a spell given to him by a wizard there and an old friend of mine. ā€

Hearing this explanation, Bruce couldn't help but give Dumbledore a thumbs up in his heart, such an explanation was absolutely impeccable. Western shamans do not understand Chinese Taoists at all. In addition, the magic schools in Europe, especially the three major magic schools, have a high degree of "autonomy", and many of them have no right to interfere with the Ministry of Magic. So there is nothing wrong with this explanation at all.

Even if everyone doesn't believe it, there is no reason to refute it, and at the same time, Dumbledore's image in everyone's hearts has a layer of "fog", this strange old man who is known as "the greatest wizard in the world" will actually know those "wizards" in the East!

"Barty, I think it's time to announce the results of this match!" Dumbledore laughed.

Hearing such an explanation, Barty Crouch was also speechless, so he had to say: "In the first round of the Triwizard Tournament, Fleur Delacour, Harry Potter, Bruce Sterling and Diggory Cedric completed the task perfectly, passed!" Another player, Victor Krum, completed the task but needed to deduct 10 points for destroying the golden egg. Announced. ā€

Dumbledore laughed, "Now the five warriors can go back to rest, and of course you will receive congratulations from your respective schools." The next game will take place on February 24th next year, before you have to unravel the secrets hidden in the golden egg. ā€

"What if you can't solve it?" Harry asked curiously.

Barty Crouch sneered; "If you can't decrypt it, then you won't be able to complete the mission in the next game, or worse!"

Harry said calmly, "Really? Thanks for the reminder. ā€

Everyone began to leave the tent one after another, Dumbledore did not leave immediately, after everyone left, he said to Bruce Harry, "Today's performance was very good, Bruce, Harry!" ā€

"Thank you! Professor Dumbledore! The two laughed.

"I hope you can still complete the task perfectly and safely in the next game." Dumbledore laughed.

Bruce nodded and said, "Just now...... Thank you, Professor! Thank you for keeping it a secret for me. ā€

Bruce didn't think that Dumbledore really thought that "Nirvana" was learned from "Shushan", and Bruce used it when he was in the secret room in the second year, which could not be concealed from Dumbledore at all.

Dumbledore looked around and smiled; "No, you've added glory to Hogwarts today, as it should be! What do you think? Isn't my ability to lie very high? ā€

"Hahaha!" The four laughed.

"That's it! You should go back and rest. Dumbledore laughed, "Sterling, Potter." Go to Madam Pomfrey if you want. ā€

"Yes, Professor! Then let's go back first! Bruce said.

The four left, but Dumbledore still didn't. He turned around with a smile and looked around, a smile tinged with dissatisfaction and anger. Suddenly, Dumbledore shot a spell at one of the pillars of the tent, without using his wand, nor with the ring that Bruce had given him, a veritable wandless spell.

The spell struck the pillar, and a woman "fell" from the air to the ground, looking at Dumbledore in amazement.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "If I'm not confused, you're Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet, right?" ā€

Rita Skeeter got up from the ground with a smile, and immediately began to pat herself wildly, saying, "That's right, hello! Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of all, is it a privilege to meet you in person, can I interview you? ā€

Dumbledore smiled, "Miss Skeeter, don't you think you should explain why you're here?" Once the Triwizard Tournament has begun, the players and preparations for the tournament are not allowed to be reported. ā€

Although Dumbledore was smiling and speaking kindly, Rita Skeeter felt a chill. But her expression was very calm, and she said "sincerely": "Oh! I'm sorry, but I wanted to interview the next five Warriors. I beg your pardon for my ignorance and abruptness. ā€

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Of course, I just hope you pay attention next time." Okay, now that the game is over, why don't you go back and report on today's game right away? You must know that today's game is very exciting, and I am sure that there will be many people who want to know! ā€

"Oh! Of course, I'll leave right away. Rita Skeeter said.

Dumbledore laughed, "I'll be looking forward to tomorrow's paper, goodbye!" ā€

With that, Dumbledore left, leaving only Rita Skeeter in the tent. She breathed a long sigh of relief and walked quickly to the door, looking out to see that Dumbledore's figure was already far away.

Looking at Dumbledore's back, Rita Skeeter said smugly, "I didn't expect to be able to see my Animagus." But so what? Dumbledore! Hmph, but that's it, a few words fooled him over. O people now! It's all unworthy of the name. ā€

After expressing her "compliment", Rita Skeeter took out her notebook and prepared to appreciate today's results, but when she opened it, she was stunned. Today's report, no! It's that all the reports these days are gone, and there is not a word in the notebook.

"Damn! Damn it! Rita Skeeter threw the notebook on the floor in anger, and only then did she know why Dumbledore had let herself go so easily.

Without those words, Rita Skeeter can still write today's news through her memories. But she didn't dare, Dumbledore was telling her by destroying the words: don't report it! If she dares to publish today's news, I am afraid she will really resign.

Dumbledore was no longer in sight, but Rita Skeeter was still gritting her teeth and looking there. From this moment on, the "ace gossip" reporter "" with Dumbledore, which also contributed to the birth of the "famous" book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" in the future.

Speaking of Bruce, Bruce and Harry completed the game safely, and everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and the four of them were very excited along the way.

"Seriously, I was crying before Jack even showed up." Harry explains how he felt during the race.

Bruce quipped, "I should have stayed away if I had known I would have admired your crying expression." ā€

Ron laughed, "Haha! That's right. Hey, guys! What do you think we'll look like when we get back to the lounge? ā€

Harry said smugly, "Needless to say, we are naturally treated as heroes, and I bet with you that everyone's indifference to us before is now gone." ā€

"I don't bet on this, because I think so too!" Bruce laughed. His body had regained some strength.

Hermione helped Bruce and said worriedly, "Bruce, let's go to the school doctor's office!" ā€

"No, no, no!" Bruce said firmly, "I don't want to be with Madam Pomfrey's potion. I'm almost recovered now, and I don't have to go over. ā€

When the four of them returned to the common room, it was like Harry had said. The Gryffindor classmates were all waiting for them, and as soon as Bruce and Harry entered the room, George Fred and the others immediately came over and lifted the two up, and everyone cheered loudly.

"Bruce! Harry! ā€

"Bruce! Harry! ā€

The crowd shouted their names in unison, and Bruce and Harry completed the match perfectly, and there was naturally nothing more popular in Gryffindor, which valued courage. For this reason, Simon and Dean even stole half a barrel of wine from the kitchen, but it was certainly not enough to drink, so they put the juice in it and distributed it to the others.

Immediately after drinking the "celebration wine", someone shouted: "Hey! Bruce, Harry, open the golden egg and let's see. ā€

"That's right, we can help you with references!" (To be continued.) )
