Chapter 0996 ヽ ( ゚Q. )ノ? Who is the 'noseless monster'?

Today has come to the 24th of June......

therefore

The Triwizard Tournament, led by the Ministry of Magic, organized by the Department of Physical Education, and coordinated by the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, has finally reached the final event today, and will soon begin the competition and determine the winner.

And the winner of the Triwizard Tournament can not only win a supreme honor for himself and his school, but at the same time, he will also be able to receive a full thousand gold Galleons.

So, the four warriors were making final preparations in the room that was originally a Quidditch match and preparation room, such as adjusting their personal state and resting, etc.?

However, before the warriors were about to go out, to the last event of the original Quidditch pitch that had become even bigger after the Traceless Expansion Charm had been cast, to the labyrinth of tall hedges made of magic for the final game, a certain Harry, who had recently lost his popularity for various reasons, was holding a copy of the Daily Prophet and trembling with some anger.

"No ......"

"She—How dare she write that? How dare they?! ”

Harry couldn't have imagined that the guest journalist named Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet would actually use a long and large page to count the false reports that spread rumors about his Harry Potter, and was full of nonsense, writing as much false information as possible to discredit him?!

'Huh? ’

'What's the matter, dear Harry?' ’

Hermione and Fleur, who were chatting happily like best friends, didn't pay much attention to the last item at all, and didn't even think too much about the little problems of winning and losing, the two of them looked at Harry with some curiosity, not knowing what was going on with each other now.

"Look at it!"

"That Rita Skeeter, that reporter for the Daily Prophet, how dare she write me like that, does she have any proof of that?!"

Although, Harry had already been prepared in his heart, and he was a little used to the fact that many of his familiar classmates in the school began to look at and distance themselves with horror or other strange eyes...... But when he saw that today's Daily Prophet had published such a thing without any basis and such a slanderous statement that could be said to be fabricated out of thin air, Harry was still completely enraged!

Of course, in addition to the anger and the desire to cast a curse on a special reporter, it is more because of the deep helplessness and sadness caused by those people's distrust and deliberate slander of him? You know, he doesn't want to be like that, he Harry Potter himself is a victim, those people, why don't they think about it?

'Bring it, let me see it first......'

After glancing at Fleur beside her, Hermione smiled and reached out and snatched the newspaper from Harry's hand.

I'll look at it too, I don't have time to read the newspaper today, what is written on it? ’

When Hermione, in astonishment, reached out and took the Daily Prophet from Harry's hand and read it, Fleur came over to her, and the two of them came together, and the two delicate faces and two beautiful big eyes began to look at the report that made Harry angry in vain.

‘……’

Krum, however, shook his head and didn't lean over.

He had already read the paper, so he just glanced up at Harry and the two girls, and then quickly lowered his head again, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, and tried to adjust his state.

Now, like Harry, he was tied for third......

However, his headmaster, Professor Karkaroff, told him that the current score was not very important, and that he had one last chance to win the Triwizard Tournament and win that last honor for their Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

And if he didn't want to go back to Northern Europe, to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and be ridiculed and looked down upon by his classmates, then he had better work harder, if not win, at least not as easily as he did in that second project.

Therefore, at this time, in this Quidditch preparation room, the most nervous and most eager to win the game is probably the only one.

“!!”

"Huh?"

"That's a ......"

Then

When Hermione and Fleur saw what was written in the newspaper, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Because, at last, they understood why Harry was so angry......

It turns out that a special female reporter named Rita Skeeter above would arbitrarily arrange and speculate some unfounded things to slander Harry based on some unwarranted things, and at the same time use the newspaper as a public means?

Harry Potter – The Story He Had to Tell with the Mystery Man

Now everyone knows that the 'boy who died in the catastrophe' who defeated the mysterious man is far from being as simple as everyone thinks......

Because, in fact, he was not able to defeat the mysterious man who couldn't even say his name, but he was possessed by a piece of the mysterious man's soul...... We all know it's horrible!

Perhaps, he may well be some kind of conspiracy and resurrection tool of the mysterious man?

……

After bold assumptions and careful research, we have learned a terrible word that is likely to be deliberately concealed by the Ministry of Magic and Albus Dumbledore, and it is 'Horcrux'?

It's an evil magic that can avoid death, or resurrect from the dead, like one of the 'Necromancer Harry Potter' we saw in the second event of the wonderful Triwizard Tournament!

'Horcrux', that's an evil word, and you have to rely on 'Avada Suo' to kill people in order to split a small piece of your soul and save it......

We don't dare to continue talking about it now, or continue to study the evidence, because it is really terrible! It's wicked!

Even the 'mystery man' himself admitted that his 'resurrection' was entirely due to the scar on the forehead of a certain 'little boy who never died'!

Although the second project of the Triwizard Tournament has now been hastily completed, and although Albus Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic, Fudge, have assured that the immortal little boy no longer has any soul fragments in his body that do not belong to the little boy himself, we should not take this lightly!

……

According to some sources in the school in the Daily Prophet, in the past few years, the boy Potter has been suffering from frequent illnesses at school, always telling people that the scar on his forehead is a dull pain (according to reliable sources, the 'scar' is where the mysterious man's soul is hidden), and even after the end of the second project, he even had the experience of rushing out of the divination classroom with his head covered?

In addition, some students revealed that after the end of the second project, Mr. Potter was no longer inseparable from his friend Mr. Weasley, but began to become withdrawn and difficult to communicate, and even often sneaked around the campus at night alone, only to sneak back until it was almost bedtime?

……

So

We are deeply concerned about Harry Potter's strange behavior, which may well have become quite dangerous now, and it makes one wonder if he is still fit to play in the third program of the Triwizard Tournament, or even to attend Hogwarts.

According to an unnamed official of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Tho's Parseltongue ability still exists, and the Parseltongue has always been regarded as a sign of dark magic and one of the abilities of the mysterious man...... Therefore, we have to continue to associate a certain 'Little Boy Who Never Dies' with that 'Mystery Man', and express our deep concern for the final event of the Triwizard Tournament that is about to begin!

Because, that game, which will be held this afternoon, will be able to get the result in the evening at the latest......

‘……’

‘……’

Soon, the short story was read by Hermione and Fleur, who looked at Harry, who was still a little indignant, with different expressions.

"I said Harry......"

"You don't need to be angry with that guest reporter Rita Skeeter, it's not like you don't know, even our headmaster, Mr. Dumbledore, has been slandered by her many times......"

"She even wrote hundreds of pages of revelations like "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", she probably wrote it a long time ago, probably planning to wait until Dumbledore died, but I don't know why, she suddenly took the opportunity of the mysterious man's return to get it out, and now she just wrote a false report about yours, what are you angry about?"

"Harry, you'd better hurry up and get ready, we'll be out and start the game when the time comes, I won't necessarily let you then!"

Seeing that this was the case, Hermione shook her head angrily, and then casually tossed the newspaper in her hand aside.

The truth is the same as what she said, compared to Professor Dumbledore, who was seriously slandered and slandered by the female reporter, Harry's plausible report without much evidence is not worth mentioning at all!

If Harry had time to read the recent best-selling copy of The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, he would not have been so angry.

You know, even Dumbledore is said to be helpless about the book, because it was 'fabricated' in the haste of some facts, and even Dumbledore himself was not sure whether it was true or not? Of course, there were some episodes in that book about the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore, but seeing that the companion in front of her was so angry, Hermione didn't seem to shake it out now.

"That's right!"

"Harry, Hermione and I both believe you, you really don't have to be so angry, because I also know that most of what was written in that report is fake, let's hurry up and get ready, the students and professors outside are almost seated, and we will play later, you must not lose to me."

After saying that, I don't know why, Fleur's face actually felt slightly hot.

Because she knew better than anyone what the reporter Rita Skeeter had written about Harry's 'often sneaking around the school at night alone and not coming back until bedtime', and knew what it was all about!

“!!”

"That's it! Harry, Professor McGonagall is here, and it looks like it's time for us to put on a show......"

Call!

Seeing Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor in front of them, walking towards them in high spirits, Hermione quickly stood up and greeted Harry and Fleur. Because she knows that this long competition that runs through the whole semester, the 'Triwizard Tournament' that has benefited her a lot, and now the last remaining project is finally about to begin!

Later, it only took one of the four warriors to find the Goblet of Fire trophy in the Quidditch labyrinth, and then the Triwizard Tournament would be the perfect end, which she had been looking forward to for a long time.

But......

I don't know why, but she Hermione herself has no desire to win at this time...... Perhaps, it is probably because she has obtained those supreme gains that can be envied by everyone, right?

'Please! ’

'Four dear warriors? ’

Standing in front of the four of them, seeing that they were all strong and mentally looking like warriors, Professor McGonagall finally had a smile on her face and stretched out her hand, signaling that the four of them could now go out to be reviewed by the teachers and students and get ready to start the game.

……

Crash~!

As Hermione, Harry, Fleur, and Krum walked heroically to the entrance to the huge labyrinth in their school uniforms and school badges, and to the Quidditch venue, which they no longer recognized, bursts of applause erupted from the high platform around them.

'Ahem......

So, after the applause had slowly subsided, Dumbledore stood up from the audience and spoke in a loud incantation:

'Ladies! Gentlemen! As we all know, now, the last event of the much-anticipated Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! ’

Crash~!

The loud applause rang out again, and then Headmaster Dumbledore stretched out his hand for a long time before the students who had lost their enthusiasm gradually quieted down.

"The specific rules must already be known to everyone, so I won't go into them here......

However, I think it's important to announce the scores of the four Warriors now in order to determine where they go into the maze? ’

Yes, now the last event in the Triwizard Tournament is to break the maze, and the highest score will be the first to enter, the second highest player to enter, and so on, with each player entering one minute apart, and finally, the first player to reach the finish line and receive the trophy wins and declares the game over.

There aren't too many rules in this project, for example, in addition to not being able to fly, not using 'cheating' methods such as apparition, the warriors just have to fight their way through the maze and defeat the monsters that will randomly appear and wander during the process, and try to reach the end.

'I'll take a look at ......'

1st place: Miss Hermione Granger from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who has the highest score of 95 points!!' ’

Crash~!

Warm applause rang out again, and although everyone knew the result in advance, after Headmaster Dumbledore announced it, the teachers and students still gave the generous and beautiful 'Miss Jack-of-all-trades' Granger who stood up from among the four warriors and waved to the audience.

'2nd place ......'

It's Miss Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she has a score of 80! ’

There was another round of applause, after all, a certain Miss Delacour, who was charming, of great shape, and was said to have some of the blood of the girl, must have been very popular with some of the boys and girls...... Although, the other party is now a famous flower?

'3rd place ......'

"Mr. Victor Krum and Mr. Harry Potter from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, respectively!"

'They both finished tied for third place with a score of 72......

Now, with Krum and Harry's results, if the winner is determined by the score, I'm afraid there is no need for the two boys to continue the competition! But fortunately, the third event of the Triwizard Tournament is not a score, but a pass, and the previous two events are just to give the player with the highest score a certain advantage, which is not the most critical decisive condition.

But......

Surprisingly, after Dumbledore announced the results of the two boys who finished third, the applause of the teachers and students was sparse, as if the students didn't like the last two boys very much? Only, I don't know if they were targeting a slightly embarrassing Mr. Krum, or a terrifying new nickname for 'The Dark Wizard' and 'The Dark Lord'?

“……”

(?? _??)

"It's finally getting started......

???? (??????????????)????????

Seeing the players begin to enter the maze in turn under the whistle of Ludo Bagman, the director of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Physical Education, in order of scores, little Anne, who was watching from the viewing seats, couldn't help but yawn a little boredly.

"But Tibbs, this maze looks really boring, if you change to an adult's house, just go straight to the north, burn those hedges one by one, and then go straight to the trophy and you're done, how easy and easy is that?"

(?? ⊙ω⊙`)

Little Anne pursed her lips with some disdain, it was obvious that the third project, which had been decided by the judges after research, was not fun at all, and she Professor Anne had found a loophole in that rule that could be exploited.

(Honorable little master, isn't that a violation of the rules?) With such an obvious loophole, those bad old men must have been stipulated in the rules of the game, right?

(????????)

- Obviously, Tibbs didn't agree with his own bad little master, because he felt that kind of loophole, a bad old man named Dumbledore must have thought of it and stipulated that it couldn't be done. )

"Of course not!"

?? 乛?? 乛??

"Tibbs, you know, they thought their magic would make those hedges safe from the students' spells, so they just said that they would be the winner by breaking through the maze and winning the trophy, and there was no rule that they couldn't destroy the maze......"

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Other people's magical abilities, such as the scar-headed four-eyed Harry, the eyeless Fleur, and the hapless Krum, would certainly not be able to destroy the fence, but if it was Hermione, Anne felt that the other party would be able to easily destroy the hedges that were cast to resist spells and regeneration and easily reach the end!

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

"But ......"

`(*∩_∩*)′

"Maybe it won't be too boring later, right?"

(???? ω????)

It's going to be boring right now, but not necessarily later......

So, little Anne squinted at a certain mad-eyed Professor Moody who was habitually pouring some kind of shapeshifting potion into his mouth. She could see the other party's arrangement at a glance, and now, that guy was undoubtedly the most excited person among all the teachers and students present, and there was no one! Because, his heart is beating a notch faster than others, so he can't fool her!

However, Professor Anne, who knew some of the arrangements of the other party, did not rush to say it or directly expose the other party, but continued to lie on his seat and wait to see a good show, nothing more.

"Huh?"

(⊙o⊙)

Just as she was about to continue chatting with her little bear Tibbs for a while, little Annie soon found that with the sudden noise of the teachers and students, the young lady Hermione in the maze had already broken all the way to the end of the trophy place?

“!!”

!? (??''????)??

"That's a tattered maze made by a guy who lacks a heart, this hasn't even started to burn the wall, it's already coming to the end, it's too much, right?!"

((?????????? ‖))??

Seeing that the third item was cleared not long after, little Anne angrily stood up from her seat with the other teachers and students, and shouted loudly and unceremoniously, and then gave some bad old men half of the face, and counted them directly in person.

Because, she felt, the maze that she didn't participate in setting up was really too distracting, and she even threw in some animals and snails casually, and they really thought that the four warriors were still the same as when they first participated in the competition?

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

However, no one paid attention to the little girl's scolding and complaining, even Dumbledore, who was closest to the other party, pretended not to hear half of it, brazenly stood up and began to applaud, completely ignoring the other party's words.

However, something happened that shocked everyone.......

‘……’

Before the finish trophie, Hermione, who had been here first and had taken less than five minutes, didn't rush to get the trophy, just stood by and waited patiently for her friends and companions, seemingly ignoring the trophy at all.

"Huh?"

"Great, Harry, I knew you had to be the second to make it to the end!"

It was about ten minutes before Hermione turned to look at a hedge to the south, where there was a rustling sound, and then some bespectacled boy had broken the wall of magical hedges with some kind of spell, and before they could close again, he hurried out of it.

Obviously, that's Harry!

“!!”

"Hermione, ...... are you?"

Yes, the second one to arrive here was Harry!

However, when he was shocked to see the trophy, and then to see Hermione, who had been waiting here for a long time, and seemed to have arrived here a long time ago, and was not in a hurry to get the trophy, he felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that he had still lost to the other party.

"Do you mean that trophy?"

"I don't seem to want to win that much, Harry, if you want, you can go get it now, I can wait for Fleur and Krum."

Hermione smiled indifferently, none of the obstacles she had encountered along the way could stop her, whether it was the startled Boggart or Hagrid's snail, none of them could stop her! So, it took her less than five minutes to get here, more than ten minutes faster than Harry.

She really didn't want to win, because now she was not only Hermione Granger, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts, but also a landestall in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and now she was not short of money at all, and she didn't want to ask for the thousand gold Galleons, nor did she want to get the honor of winning, so she waited here.

"The ......"

"I'd better wait with you......"

After seeing that Hermione was already waiting here, and really didn't have the desire to get the trophy first, Harry, who felt that he was a little invincible, first looked up at the dark magic curtain above them, and then walked to the other party's side in a daze.

“!!”

"You ...... this"

A few minutes later, the third person to reach the finish line was Krum, who had performed the transformation spell and looked a little embarrassed and seemed to have some scars on his body.

However, when he saw the two of them standing on the side and looking at him, he was stunned at first, then turned his head to look at the goblet of fire that was still there in good shape, and then he understood some of it, so he had to nod regretfully, and walked to the side dejectedly.

Obviously, he lost again......

In this case, he would definitely not lose and lose to rush to grab the trophy, after all, although they were obscured by a fog of magic above them, so that the expressions of the crowd around the Quidditch pitch could not be seen from the inside, and the voices outside could be heard, but Krum knew that their every move must be watched by the crowd now, and there were even reporters who broadcast it live! Therefore, even if he loses, he must not allow himself to do anything ungentlemanly and stupid at this time.

"Huh?"

"Are you guys so fast?"

Immediately after Krum, it's Fleur! Less than a minute after coming out of Krum and silently walking to the side, she also came out! It's just that there seem to be some tear stains on her face, and even her eyelashes are wet?

"Well, please don't mind, because I just met a Boggart and it scared the hell out of me, really!!"

Seeing Harry's gaze at her, Fleur hurriedly explained, and as for what she saw the Boggart become, Fleur didn't say it explicitly, just smiled and walked happily to the side of the three, stood beside Harry and Hermione, and followed everyone to look at the trophy placed on the high platform in the middle, and looked at the Goblet of Fire that represented the winner.

Now, what are we going to do, who came first?' ’

'It's Hermione! ’

‘……’

'Then Hermione, you should go up and take that trophy now, you deserve it!' ’

After Krum spoke first, the three of them quickly looked at Hermione in unison, ready to let the powerful girl who reached the finish line first, but didn't take the trophy first, take the glory that should belong to the other party.

Harry, Krum, and Fleur were very pleased that they had been waiting for them to arrive and give them the opportunity to see the trophy, so they unanimously decided that Hermione, who was the first to reach the finish line, should go there and walk the glory that belonged to each other.

“!!”

"Nope! No way! Thank you, but I've been in the limelight enough, I'm not going to take it! Harry, if you're number two, go get it, right? ”

Hermione didn't have any interest in either the prize money or the accolades, so, after politely refusing, she looked at Harry, she thought that if the other party took it and won, maybe it could help the other party offset some of the negative reports that have been very unfavorable to the other party in recent times?

And then the students of Hogwarts are not too distant and look at each other in a strange way?

“……”

"Forget it, you don't take it, I don't take it either, Krum, or else, you should go!"

After thinking about it, and looking at Fleur's eager gaze, Harry hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he suppressed the idea of being in the limelight and greed, and looked at Krum, who had been silent, as if relieved.

"No ......"

"Or, Fleur, you go and take it, right?"

Krum shook his head, if he had come first or grabbed it by his ability, then he didn't say it, of course he would have done it! However, if it is a trophy that is given up by someone else, then he will definitely be very disdainful!

Therefore, he looked at the girl Delacul, if none of the three of them wanted it, I am afraid that only the girl would take it, in that case, it seemed that they could all end up with a good reputation? When the time comes, the Daily Prophet and other newspapers will surely receive good praise for their Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and then Headmaster Karkaroff will have no reason to accuse him.

"Don't!!"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm the last to come out, I've already lost! I was scared to cry by Boggart all the time, and I was almost ready to give up the game, I definitely don't have the face to take it! ”

Seeing the eyes of the three of them, Fleur hurriedly waved her hand and firmly rejected the kindness of the three partners.

Anyway, she definitely won't take that trophy, after all, she can be said to be the last and worst now, how can she have the face to take it?

'What then?' ’

'I don't know ......'

'Just let it sit there, let's go out ourselves?' ’

'Looks like that's all I can do......

All of a sudden, the four of them were in a dilemma......

If no one is willing to take the trophy and declare the game over, then they will have to go back the way they came, from the direction they came, to the entrance of the labyrinth.

“……”

"Why don't we go and lift it together, and it will be considered a tie?"

Soon, Hermione remembered a solution that was not a solution, she thought, since no one wanted it, then just ask for it together, and then this triwizard tournament ended in a big draw, no one won, no one lost, everyone is harmonious, this is always okay, right?

‘!! ’

"Great idea!"

Harry and Fleur looked at each other and raised their hands in agreement.

"This ......"

Krum was a little moved, but he was a little hesitant, because, even so, he always felt a little bit of a charity by others.

"Alright, Krum, so be it!"

"We're friends, aren't we? Then don't divide who wins and who loses! Besides, I'm still taking advantage of you! ”

Seeing that Krum was still a little reluctant, Fleur hurriedly persuaded him.

Then after saying that, she laughed first, and she thought that Hermione's suggestion was very good, so she motioned for everyone to go up to the trophy together, and hold it together, and it was considered a draw!

From today on, we are best friends, and this trophy is regarded as a testimony to our friendship? ’

‘!! ’

'Hermione said great, that's how it should be! ’

'For friendship! ’

'To commemorate this occasion! ’

Finally, the four warriors who had reached a consensus glanced at each other and stretched out their hands towards the trophy at the same time!

Swish!

Soon, the moment they met, the four of them disappeared together with the Elder Brother trophy......

Crash~!

The students thought that was the way it should be, so they clapped excitedly and vigorously as the black fog gradually dissipated and the labyrinth slowly changed and shrunk, and the applause lasted for a long time.

"Oh roar~!"

(灬??) ω?? 灬)

Obviously, little Anne knew that this fun thing was about to come out......

However, she didn't mean to teleport with her, and she didn't go to 'peep', but waited patiently in her place...... Because she wanted to see what interesting things would happen to the four of them after using that portkey?

She is looking forward to this!

(…… )

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

……

Finally, the applause of the students slowly stopped, because they all seemed to notice that something was wrong.

‘!! ’

'Look, what's wrong with the professors?' ’

‘?? ’

'What's going on, they look nervous?? ’

'I don't know .....'

'Why are the warriors gone?' ’

'It's strange, the professors have also run away, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic, is there really something wrong?' ’

"No, so many professors and officials from the Ministry of Magic are staring here, how can something happen?" ’

'Merlin's beard! ’

'Looks like something really happened......

‘……’

The students began to make an uproar, and the professors, including the officials of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, and other headmasters, immediately got up and ran to the end of the labyrinth, and after dispelling the fog and reducing the magic hedge to a minimum, they still couldn't find the warriors, and they nervously examined and discussed.

‘!! ’

'Dumbledore, what's going on, our warriors?' Where are they?! ’

'Too bad, Dumbledore, what about my students?' ’

'Damn! Can't find them! ’

'Nothing will happen to my Fleur, will it?' Poor child......'

'This situation doesn't seem to be the same as we said?' ’

'How can this be ......'

'Sorry, everybody be quiet for a moment, let me take a look first......'

'God'......'

Soon, under Dumbledore's impatient reprimand, Headmaster Karkaroff, Madame Maxim, and the officials of the Ministry of Magic and the professors at Hogwarts all fell silent.

'Hmm......'

'Guys, apparently someone did something with the trophy and it became a portkey, so ......'

So Dumbledore didn't say much, after all, the professors and officials present all knew what the portkey was, and he didn't need to bother to talk about it.

‘!! ’

So where are they now? ’

'yes, Dumbledore, where were they sent?!' ’

'I don't know......

Dumbledore looked at a certain mad-eyed man Moody, but his gaze didn't stay on the other party for long, because he felt that it was not the time to expose the other party, and he needed to think first.

If you really can't find those students, the solution needs to be found from the other party, whether it's a truth teller or a stalker or something, there will always be a way. But before that, he needed to think about it, wait, and see if he could get from the traces left on the scene to the end of the portkey.

"Dumbledore......"

"You!!"

The Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and the Auror pressed towards Dumbledore with unkind faces, but before he could ask why, he was frightened by a terrible look from Dumbledore, so he reluctantly retracted, not daring to say anything more.

Obviously, even as the Minister of Magic, he is still a little afraid of Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest wizard of our time, after all, the nickname of the other party's 'White Devil' is not given for nothing, there is no way, he has to wait patiently like everyone else.

As for the students in the stands around the Quidditch pitch who were either looking at them with doubts or worries, or chattering loudly and whispering, and looking a little confused, no one cared about it for the time being.

“……”

After studying the trophy and the missing place of the four warriors for a while, Dumbledore finally shook his head and stepped aside.

"Professor Annie, do you know where they went?"

With no way to find out and know the destination of the portkey, Dumbledore turned to a little girl who seemed to be not worried at all in the crowd of professors.

Now, Dumbledore only knew that if he couldn't do anything, he would probably have to turn to this little girl for help, and he believed that the other party would have some good idea.

“……”

(????????????) σ??

"Why don't you guess first, will people tell you?"

(???????? -)??

As long as she wanted, Anne could take these people with her to the destination that the 'Portkey' teleported to, but she felt that with Hermione in her presence, those people should be fine, she unceremoniously rejected the other party in Dumbledore's eager gaze.

"However, people have a hunch that they will be back soon, and everyone just needs to wait, because now they don't know."

(。 ’▽’。 )??

Of course, refusal is refusal, but she, who is also waiting for the answer to be revealed, still calms these nervous adults and bad old men a little.

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

‘……’

Seeing that the little girl was reluctant to say it, and then looked at the people around her, it seemed that no one could do anything, and helplessly, Dumbledore had no choice but to sigh, and was ready to wait and see if Harry would come back, and then ask them, what happened just now?

'Professor Dumbledore? ’

"Mr. Headmaster?"

Professor McGonagall and several Hogwarts professors gathered around him with some concern, but Dumbledore stretched out his hand to signal them not to be too anxious, because he himself had nothing to do but continue to wait patiently, and that was all.

‘……’

‘……’

About twenty minutes later, when everyone was a little impatient and ready to surround Dumbledore again, suddenly, a mutation occurred......

“!!”

∑(?? △`)?!

"It's so fast?!"

(¬д¬。 )

As the portkey 'Goblet of Fire' exploded again, everyone soon discovered that the one with the portkey in one hand and the wand in the other, with a relaxed and relaxed face, had taken the rest of the three warriors who were slightly embarrassed or frightened, plus a large group of people who didn't know what magic rope had trapped their hands, feet, mouths and noses, and reappeared in front of the professors.

"Ahh

"I'm sorry, Professors, I was startled when I first found out it was the portkey, but when I got rid of it and found Harry, I found these guys, and I got them all back!!"

Hermione burst into laughter as soon as she found herself surrounded by a large group of professors and principals with worried expressions in front of her.

To be honest, she was really startled, and when she quietly followed the trail to find Harry and them, she found something amazing, and then, when she saw that one of them had come back to life, she showed up to her chagrin, and it didn't take long for her to hit the other party and their men.

"It's ......"

Dumbledore hesitated, he didn't understand for a while, why did the other party come back after disappearing for almost half an hour, how could he arrest so many people?

‘!! ’

'It's Worm Tail!' This is Avery! And Nott, and Lucius?! ’

'Merlin, ......'

'Minister! And Professor Dumbledore, if you look at their arms, they all seem to be Death Eaters!! ’

At this moment, one of the Aurors stepped forward to check on the wizards who had been captured by a young witch with magic and had fallen unconscious, and they all exclaimed.

“!!”

"What?!"

Minister Fudge was incredulous, and rushed straight to his place without bothering to talk to Dumbledore or some fourth-year witch.

“!!”

!!! ∑(?? Д?? ノ) ノ Wow!

"Hermione! Who is this ugly monster with no nose, no eyebrows, and no ears?! ”

(?????? 〣)

Unlike others, the curious little Annie walked directly to Hermione's side, and was directly startled after reaching out and pulling down the hood of the guy next to her!

She couldn't believe that there were such spicy and ugly guys in this world......

"Huh?"

"Actually, he said his name was Voldemort, and it took Harry's blood to bring him back to life, but I know he's dead...... So, I thought about it and just grabbed him back! ”

Hermione said with some understatement, because, in her opinion, that Voldemort was really far behind, and the other party, including the Death Eaters under the other party, was cleaned up by her in a few clicks, and successfully rescued the three Harry and the others who were held hostage by them.

‘!! ’

'Voldemort? ’

'My God! It's really him!! ’

'Not good! Mr. Minister? ’

'Quick! Come here, Aurors!! ’

'Professor Dumbledore? ’

However, the words of one of the students caused the professors, Ministry of Magic officials, and Aurors present to draw their wands and aim at a certain nobody who was still staring at all of them with a pale face and a cruel pupil like a long red slit even though they were firmly bound, and in addition to horror and incomprehension, there was also a bloodthirsty and tyrannical red light.

“……”

"Little Tom, it's really your ......"

Dumbledore was just as nervous as the others, so he drew his Elder Wand and walked up close to Hermione, quickly confirming the true identity of one of the guys.

"Miss Granger, how did you catch him?"

To be honest, after glancing at the Death Eaters, and then at the three Harry, who were a little sluggish and out of spirits, Dumbledore couldn't believe what this Hogwarts schoolgirl in front of him had done in less than half an hour!

"I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't know ...... either"

"Anyway, I accidentally caught them all while fighting, and I feel like they're very weak......"

yes

Miss Granger, a jack of all trades, said: Compared to the archmages she had seen and stole with, and compared to the undead and necromancers who had fought with her for life and death, the guy in front of her, known as the Dark Lord Voldemort, and the Death Eaters on the other side, were really weak!

Anyway, she didn't use her strength at all, and they were all defeated, and then she had to capture them all......

As for more information, she had to ask Harry, as she was the last to arrive, and she really didn't have time to ask what happened in the meantime.

"That's ......"

Dumbledore looked at little Tom, who was still staring at him with bloodthirsty and crazy eyes, and then at Fudge, whose hand was holding his wand trembling a little, and he sighed helplessly, and vaguely felt that he really seemed to be a little old......

……

The next day, June 25th, the Daily Prophet reported to the wizarding world in all its pages an earth-shattering event, and that was:

The mystery man, the one who can't even mention his name, he's back!!

It's just that it's a pity that the mysterious man provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with? So, after he was severely beaten by the Hogwarts warriors Harry and Hermione, he was finally captured alive by Hermione Granger, including the Death Eaters present!

It is said that the second generation of the Dark Lord, the one who can't even mention his name, will soon be escorted to Europe, to be locked up in the highest tower in Newmond Gelder with the previous generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald?

——————————

Three years later, in the floating city of Loch Lordamere, in the royal city of Lordaeron, on one of the terraces of the castle, another boy about three years old was playing with a beautiful woman with a crown on her head.

"Mother's ......"

"They say my father is a bad guy out there, is that true?"

Dawar Minahir, who is only two years old this year and is about to be three years old, but she is extremely intelligent, is excitedly throwing herself into the arms of Queen Galia Mineshir in full costume, and then raises her head in a milky voice and asks.

"Huh?"

"Who told you that?"

Jialia's face turned cold, and then while frowning, she couldn't help but lean down and pick up her son before asking a little sadly.

"The Anduin brother who came to us in Lordaeron the other day said, and he said......"

Little Davar couldn't continue, and Galia covered his mouth.

"Okay......"

"Davar, remember, no matter what others think, just know that your father, like your grandfather and your uncle, is a great hero! He was the guardian of the earth, the nemesis of evil, and the hero of all of Lordaeron! ”

"Because, he alone destroyed nearly a million evil undead and saved all of us!"

Galia corrected her son in a proud tone.

"Oh......"

"But why does Anduin's brother say he's a bad guy?"

Davar pointed to the statue complex in the center of Lordaeron, the statues of the heroes who died in the Battle of Lordaeron, including the old king of Tenaris, the prince of Arthas, and the largest of all, the black dragon statues of Deathwing!

“……”

"Because, they think it was your sister Onexia who killed their king......"

With a sigh, Galia fell into her memory, but she was soon awakened by her son's act of stroking her face, and then pinched the other person's little nose angrily.

"Is that true?"

Little Davar was a little curious.

"Kid ......"

"This matter, wait for the next time, when your sister Oni comes to see you again, you can ask her yourself."

Galia shook her head, not going to explain much about this kind of thing.

After all, her son Davar is still too young, and there are some things that he will understand later. Besides, his father is indeed a mixed reputation, but it's just that she doesn't want to comment too much......

But one way or another, he was her hero, the Lord of Presto who came to her aid in a moment of crisis and fought outside Lordaeron, and that was enough!

"But Sister Onexia hasn't come to see me for a long time......"

Hearing about his sister who would turn into a dragon and take him to the sea, Davar couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, because the other party hadn't been here for almost a year.

"You can write her a letter yourself, and our mage will send it for you!"

Galia smiled, noncommittal

"But I can't write......"

"Then why don't you learn from the teacher seriously?"

"Because I don't want to learn ......"

"That's right, Mother! When is Aunt Granger coming? You've told me a few times, but I've never seen her coming. ”

At this time, Davar recounted another great hero of Lordaeron, and it is said that he was the superhero who summoned a powerful being and fought the evil undead villains in that terrible battle?

"She said she'll come to see me after she graduates, so it should be soon, right?"

Galia wasn't too sure, because Hermione was in the fourth grade that year, and if she graduated in the seventh grade, Davar would be almost three years old now, and the other party should be about to graduate.

"How fast is it soon?"

"Probably in a few months, right? Anyway, it shouldn't be more than ...... this year."

"But that doesn't sound fast!"

Davar was a little sad, he felt that these adults, including his mother, liked to deceive people!

Just like that old grandfather Uther, he bragged about how good he was all day long, but he broke his calf with a punch, and he still lies at home in bandages and treats with holy light......

Therefore, he felt that the words of the adults were all lies, whether it was his sister or someone else, or the old grandfather called the Lightbringer! He didn't look so powerful at all that little Davar didn't want to learn the Holy Light and become a paladin......
