Chapter 104: Learning
Time flew by, and soon it was late May, and the day had come when the Warriors would know the information about the third project in advance.
It's not that there are no accidents in between, for example, Mr. Crouch, who hasn't been seen for a long time, suddenly appears, and it seems that something is wrong, and the whole person becomes crazy.
It wasn't much of a story, it was at best a headline in the Daily Prophet, but he suddenly attacked Krum, who was with Harry, and that made things a little more uncertain. The snarky Karkaroff immediately thought of conspiracy theories, but fortunately he was eventually suppressed and did not let the incident expand.
However, in most people... No, it should be said that in the eyes of a few insiders, this matter ends here. However, Dumbledore apparently didn't think so, and he got important information from the few words Crouch revealed-
Voldemort is secretly gathering strength and is about to rise again!
He first tried to convince the Minister of Magic that Voldemort was still alive and could make a comeback, but Fudge was clearly resistant, and he was adamant that he didn't believe it.
Or, it's not that he doesn't believe it, he just doesn't dare to believe it. Ignorance is sometimes a blessing.
Voldemort, the biggest taboo in the entire European wizarding world for nearly a century. People talked about the change of color, and even dared not pronounce his name but called him a mysterious person, which shows how big the shadow he has brought.
Thinking of the bloody storm when the undulating earth demons were rampant, everyone who lived through that period was glad that the disaster was finally gone, and perhaps even some of the Death Eaters thought so.
After all, Voldemort is not only cruel to outsiders, but also ruthless to his own people, he is simply a madman!
That's why Harry Potter has such a resounding name - the Savior. When Voldemort planted a newborn, people were at first incredulous, and then confirmed the news with ecstasy, and naturally they were grateful to Harry, the man who had liberated them.
And Fudge is also a person who experienced that period, and he has a deep understanding of Voldemort's horror, and he naturally doesn't want to believe that Voldemort may make a comeback.
Moreover, as a politician, if such a thing as Voldemort's resurrection happened during his reign, it could be called the biggest stain, and it would be light to step down directly.
However, it doesn't matter if Fudge doesn't believe it. Although Dumbledore wanted to unite all the forces that could be united to fight Voldemort, he was not afraid of himself, after all, he was known as the greatest white wizard of the day, and even Voldemort feared him.
After all, power is everything in the wizarding world, and Voldemort has done so many bad things and still gets away with it, why? Because he is very strong, other wizards can't do anything about him, it's good not to be found, who wants to go up and die.
And what about the Death Eaters under his command? Among them are simple admirers of Voldemort, heinous villains, and dark creatures that are not accepted by the public, such as werewolves, trolls, giants, Dementors, etc., but there are also people who fear his power and have to join in order to protect themselves.
All this is because of strength, and Dumbledore, who has the strongest strength on the surface, naturally will not be afraid of Voldemort, Voldemort in turn must be afraid of him.
If Voldemort hadn't left some means that even Dumbledore didn't know, he would have been eliminated by Dumbledore a long time ago, and how could he have survived until now.
You must know that although Dumbledore seems to be very talkative and looks like a kind old grandfather, he is not a pedantic old stubborn, Voldemort has done so many bad things, Dumbledore has no psychological burden to kill him.
However, none of this has anything to do with Ios, and they are thinking about the countermeasures for the third project together.
Fleur and the other warriors had already learned the details of the third project from Bagman yesterday: the Labyrinth. They need to overcome the maze of obstacles to get the finish trophie in order to emerge victorious in the Triwizard Tournament.
Speaking of which, Ios has always wanted to complain about this regulation, and he won when he got the trophy, so what were the previous two projects for? Is it simply to let the high score enter the maze early for a little time?
This setting makes the first two projects feel redundant, desperately working for that little time?
Moreover, looking at Fleur, who was thinking about the magic she might use, Ios had an urge not to vomit unpleasantly-girl, don't look at it, this game is already decided!
But isn't it, little Crouch pretended to be Moody to help Harry secretly, and most of the dangers in the maze were eliminated by him in advance, and even the other contestants were attacked by him and eliminated, and finally left a Cedric, but unfortunately faced the big boss and directly received the box lunch.
Thinking about it this way, this competition is still very dangerous.,It's okay not to win.,If you get the trophy, as long as you're not the protagonist, there's only one dead word.。
Thinking of this, Ios naturally had little interest in this competition. It's okay to say that if you participate in the competition, it would be good if you met Voldemort and made him a geist again, but what about Fleur......
Even if you are well prepared, you will only be eliminated if you encounter little Crouch, a cheater, so why bother studying hard now? It's a pity that I can't tell Fleur about this, otherwise where would it be like this.
"Ios, help me think about what magic I might use." Since spending so much time with Ios, Fleur has become more and more reluctant to use her own brains.
“……”
Well, who can't let themselves say?
After making a mental note for Voldemort, Ios began to help Fleur think. Although there is no hope of winning the game, there is always nothing wrong with learning more, right?
"As a senior student, you should have learned some basic spells, but this time the maze is not enough for you, you should have mastered both attack magic and defense magic, I'll see when the time comes, as for the rest of the ......"
Ios slowly analyzes the magic that Fleur has mastered, finds out the strengths and weaknesses, and all that remains to do is to play to the strengths and make up for the weaknesses.
Fortunately, as a graduation student, Fleur's magic is barely enough to cope with this maze, and Ios doesn't plan to continue to strengthen too much, anyway, he doesn't plan to win, and it's only a serious thing to learn more useful things.
Time passed quickly in Ios' one-on-one coaching of Fleur, and June 24 was approaching, which meant that the third event of the Triwizard Tournament was about to begin.
On the day of the competition, Ios sent Fleur to the competition venue, looking at her inexplicably, but Fleur misunderstood, thinking that he was worried about himself, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" She said confidently.
No, I'm worried that you'll be eliminated immediately, so I want to comfort you.
