"It's a big deal, Dumbledore doesn't trust your people." Snape said flatly.

However, these words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Crouch's fire became even greater.

"Watch who you are, Snape!" He looked at Snape coldly.

"Maybe you should pull up your left arm and see what's on it?"

Crouch stepped forward and forced Snape, "Someone changed the game equipment, it's the portkey, right, we haven't found this person yet." Do you think I should doubt you? ”

His cold tone seemed to be able to spit out ice slag.

Snape didn't continue to speak, he just stood aside indifferently, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh! Thank God! You're all alive. Professor McGonagall walked through the courtyard.

She had to keep the game in order after Dumbledore left.

In this way, even though she was already very fast, she was still a little late.

"It's okay, it's all alive." Professor Sprout has emerged from the Little Wizard.

"It's just that Mr. Potter has a little skin injury."

Harry's arm was bleeding, and everyone noticed.

Madam Pomfrey had just cured him with some white fresh.

"And two—"

Professor Sprout was talking about Cho Chang and Gabrielle, of course.

The torture of the Mind Curse is not so pleasant.

Besides, it was Voldemort's work.

The two of them had already fainted, even after they had just teleported back, with the help of Cedric and Krum.

Each of them carried one on his shoulders.

"It's not a big deal."

Professor McGonagall walked over anxiously, her trembling hand holding her mouth as Madam Pomfrey finished examining the two of them.

"It's just that I've fainted, I haven't suffered any injuries, and I'm good to sleep for one night, but there may be some psychological shadows or war sequelae, which will take time to heal."

Hearing this, the little wizards and professors on the side all breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that being tortured for a long time can destroy a person's consciousness, and this is how Neville's parents went crazy.

Harry and Hermione know it all.

That's why Harry wanted to stay in Azkaban just now, and he wanted to do something to make up for the pain he had caused others.

The guilt in his heart is like the water of a black lake, which looks calm on the surface, but the bottom of the lake has long been surging.

"Good!" Crouch finally withdrew his gaze from Snape, "I have some questions for them. ”

He squeezed in forcefully.

A cold look passed over the faces of all the young wizards present.

"Nope." Seeing this, Professor McGonagall immediately forcefully protected the young wizards behind her, "They don't need to answer any of your questions!"

It's just a bunch of kids, Mr. Crouch.

What they need now is rest, healing! ”

"I need to know what the hell happened — just now." Crouch was unmoved, still standing in front of Professor McGonagall indifferently.

Acting like Professor McGonagall wouldn't let him go if he wasn't allowed to question.

"Voldemort is back, stronger, and has captured Azkaban!" Harry shouted, glaring at Crouch with anger in his eyes.

"Ridiculous, Azkaban has always been in the hands of the Ministry of Magic!"

"Believe it or not!"

"Enough!" Professor McGonagall interrupted Harry sharply, and she looked at Crouch in an increasingly unkind tone, "Sir, this is Hogwarts, not your Ministry of Magic.

You don't have the right to ask any of the little wizards to do anything, they're not criminals!

Now, Pomfrey and Pomona should take them to the school infirmary, where they can take some sleeping potions and let them get a good night's sleep. ”

Hearing this, the two professors nodded, and then, with the help of the other professors, left the auditorium with the little wizards.

"As for the rest." Professor McGonagall's eyes were fiery, "When Albus returns, you can ask him personally!" ”

With that, the professor turned and left the auditorium with the young wizards.

Mr. Crouch, on the other hand, stood gloomily in place, even though his heart was already full of rage, and he did not immediately do anything out of the ordinary.

He's not Fudge's idiot.

McGonagall was right, he really didn't have the right to ask the little wizard to do anything. This is not the Ministry of Magic, but Hogwarts.

Here, the power of a minister is even inferior to that of a professor.

The little wizard's reverence for him was more of an instinct for the superior than really for his position.

"Hogwarts—Hogwarts!" He muttered coldly.

Her eyes fell on Professor McGonagall as she walked out of the auditorium.

"Aren't you all studying?" The professor in the auditorium shouted with a cold face, and then the little wizards who were watching showed frightened expressions on their faces, and then quickly dispersed.

It was loud, and it was clear that Professor McGonagall wasn't just for the little wizards.

She's sending off a guest.

Barty Crouch naturally heard Professor McGonagall's voice.

His eyes were sharp, and his mind suddenly remembered the suggestion Umbridge had made earlier.

Yes!

Yes!!

Hogwarts had been out of the Ministry of Magic for too long, and the current Headmaster, who was arrogant and arrogant, had to do something.

It's time to turn Hogwarts into a part of the Ministry of Magic.

With this in mind, Mr. Crouch stepped forward without saying a word, and with the response of several Aurors in the court, his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

As for the rest of the auditorium, they also left with their own interests.

Today is destined to be a difficult day to pass.

About Harry's sudden disappearance and the awakening of Owen, these two topics were enough for the young wizards to talk about all night.

Until the end of the month, otherwise their energy would not have been exhausted so quickly.

The other side.

Owen did not wake up until the next day

Professor McGonagall really does what she says.

Under her instructions, Madam Pomfrey poured him a large mouthful of tranquilizer, even if he had been asleep for several months, after a great battle, he was not sleepy, and his body could not resist the effect of the potion!

But he was the first to wake up.

Early in the morning, all the little wizards, including those from other schools, gathered in the auditorium.

"Good morning, Owen."

"Good morning!" He responded.

"Hey! You're alive! ”

"It's good luck that I can wake up after three months in a coma."

"Good morning, Sanchez, you look much better."

Luna, Justin, Malfoy, and Ernie.

Along the way, all the little wizards who met him greeted him.

Although everyone's hearts are full of curiosity.

But when they saw Owen, they smiled one by one.

It's as if something important in the castle has returned.

The discomfort that had been felt for three months suddenly disappeared.

The castle is back to normal.

Owen didn't expect that the reputation he had worked hard for four years would not be as good as his three-month coma.

Anyway, he walked into the auditorium surrounded by everyone.

He had come to find something to eat, and to bring it to Miss Granger, as well as the other little wizards.

Speaking of Miss Granger.

She had starved herself to the bone

This hurts his heart, no matter what, it is a big thing to raise Hermione in the future.

"Owen?"

"Wow! What a Irving! ”

"Oh yes! Our Hufflepuff is on the rise again! ”

“.”

"Aren't you Hufflepuffs always on the rise?"

"Cut—what Hufflepuff, it's clear that we're Gryffindor on the rise! He's already one of our Gryffindors. ”

"Huh! Your Granger is about the same as a Hufflepuff, you're so big-faced! ”

“.”

His appearance caused an instant commotion in the auditorium.

Needless to say, those who walked with him were self-explanatory.

The other young wizards, though they knew he had woken up yesterday, had seen him disappear with Harry.

But it was the first time in three months that a living person had been seen so closely.

Yesterday, there were a number of young wizards who planned to sneak into the school infirmary, but before they could even set foot in the door, they were driven back by Madam Pomfrey.

The twins also tried to pretend to be sick and tried to sneak into the school infirmary, but they were all recognized by the sharp-eyed Madam Pomfrey in a second.

"Owen!"

Hannah ran over, staring at him with stunned eyes, then patting him on the arm and then on the shoulder, as if to check if his body was falling apart.

"Alive." Owen waved his hand, and even quipped in the mood, "I've grown a few inches taller when I sleep!" ”

Unfortunately, his jokes didn't resonate.

Everybody's staring at him, Justin, Ron, and Luna.

Before you know it, he has become the most important thing in people's hearts. No one expected him to actually leave.

"Go back and sit down!" He and Hannah sat back on the bench.

Then the little wizards around him asked him all kinds of questions as if they had opened a conversation.

However, the commotion was quickly drowned out by a crisp sound from the rostrum.

It was only then that Owen noticed that Dumbledore had returned.

There are other professors.

Rumors about yesterday have been circulating at Hogwarts for a long time.

After all, the warriors and the hostages were teleported away by the portkey in full view of everyone, and everyone saw it.

And then the professors left in a hurry, which only added to their speculations—some bad ones.

When Dumbledore appeared, all the eyes of the young wizards were on him.

And Dumbledore.

He had no intention of hiding it at all.

He slowly got up, looked around, and then told the little wizard what happened yesterday as it was.

Including: This is a Death Eater conspiracy, Voldemort becoming stronger and Azkaban falling.

In this regard, the young wizards of Hogwarts behaved—well—how to put it—a little bland.

Accustomed to strong winds and waves, they already have a high level of psychological defense.

Imagine these little wizards, the year before last, witnessing the pinnacle battle of the legendary Ravenclaw soul, the witch named Lani, and the professor.

Last year, the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort personally attacked Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, and the Minister of Magic died.

Now it's just a matter of hearing about Voldemort's rise to strength and a Death Eater's conspiracy - isn't it normal for them to say?

It's been a year since Voldemort came back, and he's not the same and stronger, is he still getting weaker?

What's all the fuss about.

Throughout this year, everyone has not gone to school when they should go to school, they should sleep when they should sleep, it is just a spell, and the practice of magic skills has become more and more diligent.

This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but Moody, although he is suspicious and has a very irritable personality, he is by no means the material to be a teacher, but he does have real materials, and he teaches young wizards completely according to the requirements of training Aurors.

This has allowed them to make rapid progress, arguably the fastest in four years.

After all, a senior Auror, systematic teaching is much better than Sirius or Owen's cram school, such a half-ass.

However, this news, for the little wizards of other schools, is the news that the sky has fallen.

Voldemort - known as the most powerful dark wizard of all time, his reputation is known throughout Europe, and although the Death Eaters did not seriously affect the country of Owen, the cruel and evil past of this legendary dark wizard has probably been heard of by young wizards born after Voldemort's first downfall.

And when Voldemort returned to become stronger, the news spread in the auditorium.

All of a sudden, the whole auditorium became noisy.

Everyone chattered endlessly, and finally it calmed down after Dumbledore's 'silence'.

Then he talked about another thing, the championship winner.

Yes, although the third game was caused by the Death Eaters' disruption, which caused some changes in the game.

But the first half of the game is still intact, and the Death Eaters' plot is only after the little wizard touches the hostage and triggers the portkey.

Until then, the Warriors' test was still counted.

And didn't there be a Warrior who finished the game?

Of course, the way she did it was by knocking the hostages out of the water.

Regardless, Hermione was the only Warrior to have managed to free the hostages, and with the previous two games, she had the highest number of match points.

It is also indisputable to award her the title.

Now for some clichés.

Dumbledore said in a heavy tone, the wizarding world is facing a great crisis, whether it is Hogwarts or Bubbaston, or other wizarding schools, other countries, and wizards from other continents should be united, the danger is not only Voldemort, but also more evil, dark conspiracies.

In this time of crisis, everyone should unite and work together, the wizarding world has been divided and infighting since the beginning of history, and he called on all parties to stop unnecessary disputes and devote their energies to the cause of evil.

Finally, he sincerely welcomed the young wizards from other schools to stay until the end of the semester.

This will be an icebreaker for friendship in the wizarding world.

Well—that's what the scene says.

But actually

Owen, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't figure out what kind of friendship they had.

For half a year, their battle never stopped.

Friendship?

Mortal enemy!

At least the relationship between Hogwarts and Ilvermorny has grown to the point of mortal enemies.

For three months, the big and small fights between them never stopped.

The biggest one was an all-hands brawl in the Twins.

The end result was that their Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were all locked up.

That's what Ron had just told him.

So it's really not what Owen said, the tournament strengthens the communication between schools, but the exchange does not necessarily bear the fruit of friendship!

Historically, did the Europeans come into contact with the Americans, and did they come into contact with any friendship?

The contact with the massacre is real.

But so far, Owen has not had the heart to deal with the conflict between the two schools, which is Dumbledore's business, and has nothing to do with him.

He was preoccupied, and vaguely heard the old Deng Tou say that an award ceremony would be held in a week or something.

Then he waited for the meal to begin.

After the meal arrived, Owen picked up his wand and emptied a section.

Then, in the stunned eyes of the little wizards, they turned their heads and ran.

——————

Owen, who returned to the school infirmary, found that the door had been opened.

He walked in briskly.

Hagrid was found in front of Harry's hospital bed, and he had woken up.

Or rather, most of the little wizards have woken up. Except for Madam Pomfrey, who deliberately drugged Hermione, who was still asleep.

"Crouch went too far, he dared to question Dumbledore."

As soon as Owen entered the door, he heard Hagrid angrily complaining, "He even threatened Dumbledore to remove him from his headmaster's position!" ”

"Oh my God! I think he's really fainted! He probably forgot that if Dumbledore hadn't supported him the year before, he wouldn't have been the Minister of Magic at all. ”

"Huh? Dumbledore supporting Crouch? Harry was surprised, his arm bandaged and his forehead wrapped, and although he himself thought it was completely unnecessary, Madam Pomfrey didn't listen, "I thought—but why would he question Dumbledore and replace him?" Who else but Dumbledore could be the headmaster of Hogwarts? ”

"Grindelwald?"

“.” Hagrid glared at Harry, and Poult immediately closed his mouth in amusement, he knew that Hagrid didn't like dark wizards like Grindelwald, even if he didn't think Mr. Grindelwald was evil, but most young wizards thought that Mr. Grindelwald was simply cool, tough methods, unique temperament, and that charming and weathered figure were simply the perfect wizard imagination in the minds of teenagers

They thought Dumbledore was too flashy in some ways, such as how he dressed.

"This time in Azkaban, several Aurors were injured." Hagrid said impatiently, "It's not a big deal, Auror! There was no one who had not been injured, but Crouch blamed Dumbledore for not informing him in advance and not telling him about the plan and plan of the counterattack. ”

As he spoke, Hagrid suddenly had a sneering expression on his face, "He probably forgot how perfect the security measures of the Ministry of Magic are, and he knows better than me how many members of the Ministry of Magic were undercover at the height of the mystery man's power last time!" ”

Hagrid had been slandered by the Ministry of Magic and thrown into Azkaban without trial, and he knew the Ministry's high-ranking officials all too well, all of them were rotten people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and if Dumbledore really told the plan, he could guarantee it! Rufus Scrimgeour (Director of the Auror Office) knew that the planned time would not be earlier than the mystery man knew.

The intelligence agencies of the Ministry of Magic are not necessarily much better than MI6 in terms of counter-infiltration!

Anyway, it was infiltrated into a sieve by others.
