Chapter 167: Triwizard Tournament

"Ahh Embrace... Auntie~" Little Ollie, who was in Erin's arms, also spotted them, babbling and reaching out to Betty.

As for what the relationship between them was, Ivy didn't know, and he didn't ask. In order not to set themselves on fire, let them be.

Little Ollie reached out to ask for it, and Betty walked over quickly. Kissed her little face and scratched her little belly again.

"Giggles—" the little one laughed at amusement

"What's the big news Fudge said? Seeing Wendy's serious face, Erin asked

"It's really big news," Wendy nodded, "next semester, the Triwizard Tournament will be restarted at Hogwarts." ”

"Ah——! No kidding? Erin was also shocked

"It's such a big thing, I need to lie to you~" Wendy gave her a blank look, "It's still the same three schools before"

"Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?"

"Hmm"

"Beauxbatons, you should be familiar with it~"

"Okay"

"Two ladies, don't just talk to you. Can you tell us about these two schools? Ivy interjected

"There's nothing to introduce," Wendy pouted, "Beauxbatons is a very large estate, very beautiful, and mostly female students. Durmstrang is secretive, its location is rarely known, they don't admit Muggle students, and the school teaches dark arts. ”

"You haven't heard of either school, but you definitely know their students." Erin added

"Famous?" Ivy raised an eyebrow

"Very famous—the kind that everyone knows about"

"You don't mean Dumbledore—I remember he's a Gryffindor, too," Ivy said, with a humble eye

"It does have something to do with him - the first Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, you know~ he is Durmstrang's student. And the Philosopher's Stone you got back, its maker, Nicol Lemay, was a student of Beauxbatons. ”

"Yo—he's a big guy. It seems that these two schools are not bad," Ivey sighed

"What worse can a school be on a side by side with Hogwarts? They are all rich in heritage and talents, don't underestimate them. Wendy said rightly

"By the way—isn't Fudge afraid that those families will trouble him? Many families are now only children," Erin said suspiciously

"He moved the age to 17 and above to reduce the probability of death"

"Seventeen... Gee... It still feels like it's risky."

"If you go any higher, you'll graduate~" Ivey rolled her eyes. He could understand his mother's concerns, after all, the Triwizard Tournament was notorious for its mortality rate. I believe that the elders of other families will also have this reaction when they know about this.

"It's better than losing your life," Erin shrugged her shoulders and asked curiously, "You're not going to be chosen by the Goblet of Fire, are you?" ”

Due to the bone quenching potion, Ivy didn't know if it didn't meet the entry criteria.

"Who knows how it determines age? But... Even if you get chosen, don't worry. You should know what I'm capable of. ”

"I'm not worried about you," Erin whispered, "I guess even if you fit the bill, Fudge won't let you participate." ”

"Why?" Ivy was puzzled

"If you want to protect the safety of the participating students, then the ability of the Shafiq family is the biggest hidden danger. While we know you can control it, the other families don't. So other families won't allow their children to compete with you. Gray used to be, no matter what the game was - stand aside. ”

"! It's really "Ivey really didn't think of this", so what should I do? ”

"What to do? When the audience~" Erin said casually, "I don't know how Fudge came up with the idea of restarting the Triwizard Tournament." ”

"Political means," Wendy lay lazily on the couch, "Sirius's affair made such a big move, and it turned out to be an oolong." Although he didn't have much to do with him, he was also on orders when he arrested Sirius. But who made him the current minister? ”

"In the face of doubts from the ministry and various families, he needs some means – or political achievements – to stabilize his position."

"So he's eyeing the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Yes. Anything to promote international magical exchanges and cooperation is a cover, and there are not many options in peacetime. Restarting the Triwizard Tournament was certainly a gamble for Fudge. If it can end perfectly, the merit can be said to be famous in history. But if there are still students who die...... It is possible that he will be impeached and removed from office. ”

"Then it's even more unlikely that you'll be able to participate" After learning about Fudge's purpose, Erin looked at Ive.

“...”

"Okay - don't pull on your face. Whew—Harry's letter to you," Erin handed him an envelope

"Can he still remember me?" Ivy was slightly surprised

Harry has been a good summer in the mix. Sirius wasn't a good-natured person, and knowing what happened to Harry, it was Harry's way of stopping him if he didn't call the door.

After a slight show of his hand and verbal threats, although the attitude of the Dursleys side was not 180 degrees, they did not dare to target him again. So Harry is living a free life now, and he can go wherever he wants. Except that you can't stay outside for a long time.

Unwrapping the envelope, Ivy took a quick look at it.

"Hanging out with you?" Betty asked casually

"Almost," Ivy replied, "he invited us to Sirius's house."

"Harry and Black together?"

"Hmm~ Before the Quidditch World Cup, Harry would stay at Sirius's house. Ron and Hermione will be over too."

"You two are going to live there, too?" Erin asked

"Even if he begs me to live, I won't live," Ivy immediately cut the railroad to death. Audio-Technica and Raybelle, I believe everyone knows how to choose.

"I'm curious, though," Wendy looked at Ivey, "you're going to the Black family's ancestral home?" ”

"I guess," said Ivey, "he's been locked up for more than ten years, and where else is he going?" ”

"That's weird. The Black family's ancestral home seems to be so hidden that even his marauder brothers don't know about it. It makes sense to take Harry with him, but how could you imps be invited? And when Blake was sixteen years old, he had a falling out with his family and ran away from home. With his character, he shouldn't go back. ”

"I'm just the invitee, you ask me this, how do I know" Facing the mother-in-law's doubts, Ivy replied angrily.

"So let me ask," Erin said with a sense of urgency

“..... Menopause," Ivy muttered quietly

"What did you say!" Erin has a good ear. Hearing this, he suddenly stared at him with a horizontal nose and vertical eyes.

"No—I didn't say anything," Ivy quickly denied

"Hmph-" Erin glanced at him fiercely, "Don't look for me about little Ollie in the future"

"Don't!" Ivy was anxious, "My gentle and considerate beautiful mother-"

......

In order to facilitate future affairs, Ivy began to curry favor.

——————

Little Hangleston, located in southwest London, is a small town nestled under a hillside. Adjacent to Great Hangelton.

On the mountainside against which it is backed is a dilapidated mansion. From the outside, the walls and tiles were in tatters, the doors and windows were shattered, and large green vines were crawling all over the building. At first glance, it is very desolate and has no trace of popularity.

But if you look closely, you can see that the lawn on the outside of the house is unusually flat. The bushes and flower beds designed for viewing are also well-trimmed and look pleasing to the eye.

The combination of two very different and contradictory visions makes one wonder.... Which master is this?

Today - the old house has a new Lord

"Master, I'm not questioning your decision" At the westernmost end of the second floor of the residence, a submissive voice came from the hidden room.

"You're already questioning... Worm Tail" another flat voice sounded

"Great hosts... I would never dare to question you! I'm just puzzled - the master has just confirmed that the Oblivion Spell will be broken by a powerful wizard. So why take the risk to control her? ”

"You don't need to know why," said in a flat voice, "and it took me a lot of effort to save her life on the premise of getting the truth." According to your report, you are not safe enough to steal Harry out of Dumbledore and Ivy Shafiq right under their noses. ”

"Master, I don't understand. You have a lot of options, and you don't have to be Harry Potter. Of course, I'm not protecting him. I mean—even if you choose Harry, you don't have to risk killing him, you just need to take a little bit of his blood. This is also the safest for the rebirth of the master. The timid voice said cautiously

"Who said I'm going to kill him?"

"Uh... Can... Host... Master, it's Harry Potter who takes you... Hurt you to the way you are by despicable means. ”

"Dear Peter~ have been with me for so long, but you don't seem to know your master at all."

"Lord-master... I—" The cowardly voice trembled even more

"There's no need to be so nervous - Wormtail, your master is merciful. Think about it – even though it took you so long to come to me, I decided to forgive you. You're a smart guy and should know that it has nothing to do with whether or not you bring important intel with you. ”

"Yes—yes—all because the great master is kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates."

"Look ~ how fast you comprehend, I'll say you're smart. Harry was just a misguided child, and Lily and Jaime's faults could not be imposed on the child. Give young people a chance – are you right? ”

"The great master repays his grievances with virtue! It's a blessing for them to rule over wizards."

"Haha—I like your wording," laughing in an indifferent voice, so you just have to concentrate on my orders. It was a natural pleasure to meet Harry in person, and I had to be sure of something. Do you understand? ”

"Please rest assured, master!"

"Hmm~"

"That's... Master, are we going to act now? ”

"No, stay here for a while. After the World Cup is over, let Joaquins inquire about the news and determine the situation before acting. Your task now is to take care of me and make sure that my temporary body is alive. Have faith? ”

"I'll do my best!"
