Chapter 450: Voldemort is back
The skeleton rises higher and higher, glowing brightly in a cloud of green smoke, like a new constellation against the dark night sky. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As the markers appeared, the cheers in the stands came to an abrupt halt as if they had been choked by the neck. It's not something they can understand.
George noticed that Dumbledore's face had become extremely ugly, and the old god had a panicked face, which didn't seem to be something he had planned. Maybe it's not until now that he finally believes that he's really played.
The skull's head flew higher and higher, like a terrifying neon sign, illuminating the entire labyrinth. Like a condescending demon king, looking down on his territory.
"It's the Dark Mark mark, Voldemort is back. Professor Karkaroff's face turned pale and he screamed in a completely changed voice, not like a human voice.
Fear was spreading everywhere, and without words, the Dark Mark was like the face of a demon king on high, looking down on his territory and looking down on his subjects.
George watched Harry on the screen and the referee's table, and Dumbledore even forgot to appease the others, he was completely immersed in his own defeat.
On the other hand, the teachers of the field patrol team performed much better than the referees in the stands.
As soon as they discovered the accident, they immediately flew towards the center of the maze. Even if there was a terrible black devil mark in the sky, it didn't make them hesitate at all, and they didn't flinch at all.
The stands finally changed, and Mr. Weasley put his wand to his throat, and the intensified voice spread throughout the stands, and he said loudly.
"The prefects and teachers stayed in the stands to calm down the students and let them all sit quietly and not run around. The principals entered the labyrinth with me. ”
Mr. Weasley glanced at his immediate boss, Connelly Fudge, Minister of Magic.
Fudge's face turned pale and panicked, completely unsure of how to deal with the situation.
In the past month, it was his repeated propaganda that told everyone that the resurrection of Voldemort was a rumor, that Bertha Higgins had only been lost for more than half a year, and Barty Crouch had just gone crazy for no reason, and then ran away without a trace.
Not only did he not arrange for anyone to investigate the disappearance of Bertha Higgins and Crouch, he did not allow anyone else to investigate these matters, let alone anyone in the Ministry of Magic who had brought up the news of the possible return of the Falling Ground Demon.
For an entire month, Cornelius Fudge was jumping up and down with rumors of preventing Voldemort's resurrection.
He had no intention of thinking about what the Ministry of Magic would do if Voldemort did return. He only hoped that if he could cover up Voldemort's news, he would be able to make Voldemort disappear, and everything that happened now was beyond his ability, and he was completely blinded.
Mr. Weasley couldn't give his immediate boss a job, but he couldn't wait any longer, and his first apparition appeared in the maze of the screen, beside Harry.
Looking at this scene, George had no intention of observing Dumbledore's reaction, at this time, no matter what happened, he could only face it. Whether Dumbledore had a plan or was out of the game, he couldn't stand by at this point.
He said loudly in a voice that resounded through the stands, "According to the usual combat training, keep me calm. The others remained in the stands, protecting the students, and those who were able to fight the Death Eaters rushed to the labyrinth. ”
After saying this, he didn't pay any attention to the other people's reactions, and the phantom appeared in the center of the labyrinth.
Hermione and Ron glanced at each other, and by this time, no one could back down, and immediately after, they also apparitioned into the labyrinth.
George immediately stood with Mr. Weasley, and Harry, on the alert for what was to come.
Mr. Weasley glanced at Ron and Hermione and asked a little unhappily, "Why are you here, this is not the place you should be." ”
In his opinion, Ron and Hermione were children, and this was not the place they should have been. They weren't as powerful as George, nor like Harry, who had an inseparable connection to the Dark Lord, and this was a battlefield for grown-ups, not a place for them to be.
Ron stubbornly said, "I'm not just going to watch you deal with danger, we study magic just to protect our families. ”
He couldn't have left his friends and his family behind for protection. Not only was it sorry for the hardships he had been learning magic all the time, but it was also not a life he could accept.
"It's not safe anywhere, I'd rather stay where I'm supposed to be. Hermione said in a firm tone.
When danger really comes, there is no safe place, and when the enemy appears, there is no real place to hide. Voldemort is not an ordinary criminal, his goal is not a simple crime, he wants to change the world, threaten the world, which no one can stay out of.
Seeing their firmness, Mr. Weasley couldn't say anything, and he continued to be vigilant, watching the Dark Mark floating in the sky. When they were ready, the teachers of the field patrol team also arrived.
Outside the labyrinth, in the stands, the students have slowly quieted down.
In the quiet stands, you can clearly hear the cries of a middle-aged couple.
"Cedric... Cedric.... What's wrong with him? How did he fall, why didn't he get up. ”
The couple were Cedric's parents, and they had come today to watch the game and cheer on their son. Cedric has always been their pride, he is always sensible and has a good academic record. Not only is he a prefect, but he is now a school warrior, representing Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament.
It was supposed to be a happy day to celebrate, and until now, they had seen the Hogwarts students cheering on Cedric, who was about to win the Triwizard Tournament.
In an instant, before they could react, they saw Cedric fall to the ground, and the dark mark of Voldemort appeared in the sky, and they didn't know what had happened.
But only a fear and desolation spread through their bodies, and they wanted to rush into the labyrinth at once, but their feet were as if they were frozen, and they could not take a single step, and they did not dare to go to the terrible truth.
Professor Sprout was reassuring Cedric's parents, "They've been there, and they'll soon find out what's going on." ”
Her tone trembled a little, the scene on the screen didn't look like it was safe and sound, and the green light before made people's hearts palpitate.
