Chapter 248: Triwizard Tournament
When Li Huan returned to the estate after a busy summer vacation, Sirius and Harry also returned from Manchester City.
A few days later, Sirius wanted to take Harry to the Quidditch World Cup semifinals, and he invited Li Huan, but he was refused.
While taking the train to a forest in Bulgaria to watch the game, Sirius asked Harry:
"You like Quidditch, don't you? I've heard that you've been a Seeker for two years, and you can win any tournament you play. ”
Harry scratched his head, looked away from the raindrop-covered window, and said, "Quidditch is interesting, but I've lost a few times. ”
"Have you ever thought about being a star in the future? I think Muggle stars are very popular, and so is Quidditch. Sirius asked.
Harry thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the great man, for the country and the people. I hope to do something more meaningful in the future. ”
Sirius was stunned, his eyes full of memories, and said, "You are not like your father, but you are both so smart and full of talent. ”
"I don't know about my father, no one has told me. Can you tell me about it? Black. Harry asked.
"Didn't Lee mention it to you?" Sirius was a little surprised, "Haven't you said it in all these years?" ”
Harry shook his head.
Sirius was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe in his eyes, we are just very ordinary students, who are keen to play and play all day long. But there are some things that I can't tell you now, and I hope never to tell you, even if it has to do with the outstanding contributions of your parents. ”
"Does that have anything to do with Voldemort?" Harry asked.
Sirius was taken aback: "How do you know?" Harry, who told you that? ”
Harry shook his head and said, "Nobody told me, I just thought that if those things had nothing to do with Voldemort, I could have waited for the day you wanted to tell me; If it had anything to do with Voldemort, then I had to know by now, because Voldemort wasn't dead, he was alive and hiding in the shadows, and I needed to know everything about him. ”
Sirius's expression suddenly tightened, he subconsciously glanced at the glass outside the carriage, then put his hands on Harry's shoulders, and said seriously, "How do you know that the mysterious man is still alive?" Did Dumbledore know about this? ”
This is important news.
Harry nodded, "Professor Dumbledore knows. I once faced Voldemort, in the secret passages of the school, it was about a Philosopher's Stone, and Professor Dumbledore told me to keep this secret, so no one knew about it. ”
Sirius muttered, "No wonder that guy would rather hide inside the body of a rat all the time......"
After a while, Harry saw that Sirius was still stunned and interrupted him, "What's the matter with my parents?" Blake, can you tell me? ”
Sirius nodded, "In that case, you should know that we joined a society when we were young, called the Order of the Phoenix......"
Harry listened to Sirius's introduction, and his eyes lit up. Obviously, the parents' approach was in line with what he imagined for them.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Blake. ”
Sirius said with some hesitation, "Won't you blame them?" After all, they fought against Voldemort to have such a result, so that you were left alone. ”
Harry grinned and said, "Of course not, I should thank them, I believe they must have done their best to stop Voldemort to give me a chance to survive." As for fighting Voldemort, that's probably our family tradition, and I'll do it in the future. ”
Sirius looked at Harry and said excitedly, "You know what? Just now I seem to have seen the scene when James called us to join the Order of the Phoenix, as high as you are now, as fearless. ”
Harry was a little shy and said, "I'm not that brave. Actually, I'm also very confused, especially when I first entered the wizarding world, many people call me a savior, but I really don't know how I'm different from others. ”
"And now?" The little wolf asked with a curious smile.
"Now I don't know, many people are smarter than me, more courageous than me, if I am a savior, then everyone can be a savior."
Sirius' eyes widened and he looked at Harry in surprise.
The train arrived, and the Quidditch semi-final in Bulgaria was spectacular, with the Bulgarian team maintaining the dignity of their home stadium.
Back on the train, Sirius told Harry that since Dumbledore also knew that Voldemort was not dead, he had to investigate, and he couldn't think of anything else he could do after ten years of squatting in Azkaban.
In the new year, Harry grew up again, and at the opening ceremony of the new year, Dumbledore made an exception and spoke again.
However, he made an exciting announcement that the Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts.
At the same time, this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class will still be taught by Alaire Lee, but the teaching assistant will be replaced by a lame blind man.
After Dumbledore finished speaking, the doors of the school ballroom opened.
Several beautiful female students walked in in a neat queue, dressed in Beauxbatons' uniform uniforms, with graceful figures, beautiful faces, and full of charm, which made the older boys, who were already sensible, stretch their necks and look around.
Beauxbatons' Headmaster, Lady Olim Maxim, has giant blood, and she is tall, almost three meters tall.
The students of Hogwarts held their heads high and were amazed, they thought that Professor Lee and Professor Hagrid of their school were already the highest wizards in the world, but they didn't expect that there were even higher than them.
In front of Ms. Maxim, the Beauxbatons girls performed a wonderful opening dance, and Ron clapped his hands happily with pure appreciation, and pulled Harry along.
Next to them were a depressed Hermione and his sister Ginny.
Dumbledore greeted Beauxbatons with a warm speech, and when they were seated, another group of voices rang out at the door.
It's Durmstrang students, and they look imposing and powerful.
Ron shouted, "Look, it's Krum, I dare say he's the best Seeker in the world." ”
This time, Harry was more depressed, and his friend didn't take himself seriously.
Durmstrang's headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, looked gloomy and, after being greeted by Dumbledore, gave a brief salute and took his students to their seats.
Dumbledore went on to tell everyone what Triwizard Tournament was, including the rules and do's and don'ts.
