Chapter 160: Animagus

Dumbledore and Snape certainly understood that Ethan meant that he was too young to compete in the Triwizard Tournament.

However, Harry Potter did not meet the requirements, and Voldemort's group forced Harry Potter into the game, seemingly considering the iron rule that 'the decision made by the Goblet of Fire cannot be changed'.

If the Death Eaters were able to do this, why couldn't Dumbledore?

This was no normal game for a long time, and according to the Death Eaters' arrangement, Harry would almost be guaranteed victory, it was a scene at all, and it was a script orchestrated by the enemy.

As a mortal enemy, it is the right thing to do if you don't follow the other party's script and cause trouble for the other party by the way.

"So, you're just asking me to promise Harry that nothing will go wrong, right?"

"Yes. ”

Dumbledore asked Ethan to represent Hogwarts, mainly for security reasons.

First of all, the players representing Hogwarts will definitely be involved in this conspiracy, and there is not enough security to ensure that even if you are warned in advance, it will inevitably cause no accidents.

Secondly, Harry is Voldemort's target, and according to the current arrangement, Harry Potter will almost certainly face Voldemort head-on.

This means that Harry Potter will be in the most dangerous environment, in which case Harry Potter will most likely lose his life.

At meetings within the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius strongly objected to Harry Potter being placed in such a dangerous situation.

Recently, Sirius has been convincing Harry Potter to move out with him, except that Sirius is Harry's godfather, and he wants to protect Harry Potter nearby and not give Voldemort any chance.

He was disgusted that he wasn't well protected now, how could he send Harry to Voldemort in front of him?

"As long as I'm alive, no one wants Harry to participate in that damn Triwizard Tournament!

Thrown into Azkaban for more than ten years inexplicably, Sirius can't help but have no opinion on the Ministry of Magic, because of Harry Potter, he can still suppress his various grievances, even if the Ministry of Magic has never publicly given him an explanation, and he doesn't care about restoring his reputation, all for Harry.

But if the Ministry of Magic dared to put Harry in danger at this time, Sirius wouldn't mind being a real criminal and letting the idiots at the Ministry of Magic know how terrible it was for him to go crazy.

The Ministry of Magic is afraid of Dumbledore or not, anyway, he's enough of a headache now.

Come to think of it, the safest way is for Ethan to protect Harry nearby.

Is it safe enough to be so close?

Ethan was a student at Hogwarts, and it was impossible for him to participate in the event as a referee or the like.

What's more, there are no referees in the Triwizard Tournament, the winning and losing criteria are very clear at a glance, and only players can enter the competition venue.

Then the answer is obvious, Ethan can only protect Harry Potter at close range if he competes as a player.

"Well, I don't have anything else to do anyway. ”

The biggest problem for Ethan is...... How could he control himself from killing Voldemort......

Well...... You can't even beat it too hard, if you accidentally beat Voldemort to a serious injury, or if you are scared directly, this guy won't dare to come out and make trouble, and these previous arrangements will not become a joke.

"It's a big deal to hide in the shadows, and when Voldemort comes back to life, I'll take Harry with him. ”

Seeing Ethan nod in agreement, Dumbledore also let out a sigh of relief.

As he came into contact with Ethan more and more, and Dumbledore got to know Ethan better, he finally understood why the three-headed dog and the phoenix were so well-behaved in front of him.

There was a vague coercion on this person's body, but Ethan hid it well, and most people couldn't detect it.

In other words, because humans are more accustomed to observing and judging another person or creature through sight, rather than judging by pure feeling, they cannot perceive this in the first place.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly, how could he not be like this himself? If it weren't for Ethan's unhidden thoughts and taking the initiative to show it, maybe he would still be struggling with the identity of the other party.

"Thank you so much for your help. ”

Ethan looked at Dumbledore next to him, and the old professor was still smiling, standing aside very politely, without the slightest intention of leaving.

Snape knew why, but he didn't want to talk at this time, for fear of accidentally getting himself into trouble.

"Anything else?"

"That's right, Sirius, Harry's godfather, Mr. Cyras Black, would like to see you in person. ”

"Sirius, ...... he saw me"

Ethan suddenly realized that Dumbledore must have repeatedly promised Harry to find a qualified 'bodyguard', but Mr. Cyras-Black did not know Ethan, and even having Lupin by his side as a guarantor could not reduce his suspicions.

This is also normal, and Ethan will not casually trust someone he has never met before, not to mention that Sirius has suffered a big loss before because of his trust in others.

"He wants to test my strength. ”

"That's right. ”

"It's nothing, human nature, I can still understand it. ”

Ethan nodded, indicating that he understood, but Dumbledore still did not leave directly or take Ethan to Sirius, but whispered a plea.

"Sirius was framed and imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, so he has a bit of a short temper and maybe some uncool words......"

"You want me not to mind?

Sirius is also a well-known figure in the wizarding world, and even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic dare not say that they can deal with Sirius, and as a result, Ethan's mouth is like a child who can be beaten casually.

Dumbledore knew that this was true, but he still felt weird, but he had to nod his head and admit that Ethan was right, otherwise Ethan would be angry, and who knows what Sirius would be beaten into?

"I promise I won't hurt him, let's go now. ”

Sirius came to Hogwarts to meet Ethan, and they didn't need to meet outside of school.

At this stage, going to meet outside the school is the only way to add to the trouble, and who knows who will see their whereabouts?

At a time when Death Eaters were hidden almost everywhere, only the interior of Hogwarts was barely a safe place.

Even if some of the students came from pure-blood wizard or even Death Eater families, these children are not completely unsaved at the moment, and even in Dumbledore's eyes, these children are all the future of the wizarding world. They are not enemies, they have just accepted some wrong ideas since childhood, and they just need to change this part.

Following Dumbledore, the three of them perfectly avoided the area where all the students frequented, and after walking in the quiet corridor for a while, they soon came to a remote classroom.

Ethan saw Professor McGonagall here, and after nodding at Ethan, Professor McGonagall did not follow them inside, apparently standing here looking at the door to avoid accidental intrusion by students or unsuspecting professors.

Walking into the classroom, this old classroom was full of dust, there were even thick cobwebs in the corners of the room, it was obvious that no one usually came here, and no one used the place, except for a little clutter piled up in the corner, there was nothing useful here, so even the most basic cleaning work was abandoned.

"Hogwarts, there are so many places like this......"

"The school is too big, but there are only so many students and professors, and there are indeed a lot of vacant places. ”

Dumbledore wanted all the places to be put to good use, which meant that there were enough students, and it was an indirect testament to the prosperity of the wizarding world.

Ethan withdrew his gaze from looking around, focusing on the man in front of him.

From the moment they entered, the man's eyes hadn't taken off Ethan, with a little doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Ethan was so valued by Dumbledore.

If it weren't for his friend Lupin's repeated assurances, he would have even wondered if Dumbledore was playing a perfunctory role.

The door closed, and Dumbledore and Snape took a few steps back, leaving the empty space for two of them.

The only person present besides the parties was Professor Lupin, who was about to say something to his friend when Sirius stopped him.

"Needless to say, I'll know the answer soon anyway. ”

Lupin reluctantly retreated to Dumbledore's side, in fact, he was also looking forward to seeing Ethan strike again, if it wasn't his good friend standing opposite.

"Cyras Orion Black. ”

"Ethan. ”

Sirius took out his wand and saluted Ethan.

"It's not a personal vendetta, I just want to make sure Harry is safe. ”

"I know. Ethan returned the salute and then took his wand back, "I'm sure you'll be sure of that soon." ”

Sirius was still wondering what Ethan's action meant, and Lupin immediately reminded him.

"Be careful, he doesn't need a wand to cast spells. ”

Lupin's reminder brought Sirius back to his senses, and the previous doubts disappeared in an instant: none of the wizards who could cast spells without a wand were weak.

At the same time, I also have the unhappiness of being 'underestimated' in my heart, because wandless spellcasting is not as convenient, fast and powerful as using a wand, which is almost the consensus of the magic world, and the other party doesn't take himself seriously.

Just as Sirius was about to give Ethan a good look, he suddenly heard Ethan on the other side say, "I heard that your name is Animagus, you should be used to the feeling of becoming an animal!"

Sirius didn't understand what Ethan meant, but before he could react, he found that his body was completely uncontrollable, and his mouth was spitting out syllables that were strange and familiar to him.

"Baa~"
