Chapter 418
Ven finally got what he wanted and got the answer he wanted.
Vladimir didn't know Tom's identity, but he was acting according to Professor Corvinos' orders.
He also knew that someone would use his identity to play a trick.
He wanted to dig deeper, but Vladimir was obviously just a tool and knew less information than Katerina.
After thinking about it, Wayne left a mark on him in case of emergency.
The next day, the students were surprised to find that the students of Durmstrang had run away overnight.
No one knew when they left, but when they had breakfast in the morning, the long table belonging to Durmstrang was empty.
Someone came to the venue and saw that the skeleton ship on the Black Lake had also disappeared~.
It seemed that it was carried away overnight.
But if everyone is just curious, they will no longer pay attention to it. Anyway, the other schools will leave today, and Durmstrang will just leave a little earlier.
Early in the morning, Wayne took all the girls to the small world of suitcases.
It was too late to finish the work last night, so Wayne did not disturb them.
The girls who had been holding back all night asked all the questions in their hearts.
Wayne did not answer immediately, but asked about the situation of the game after he left.
After Cedric and Vladimir, the first to come to the seventh floor was Fleur, and then Cassandra.
Sakura...
"So you are lost again?" Wayne looked at the girl with a bun helplessly. Today, Sakura was wearing an ancient style jacket and her hair was tied into a big bun, which was very cute.
"It was almost there." Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully, "I heard a puppy barking, so I ran over, and it turned out to be a three-headed dog."
"Its skin was so thick, it took a long time to succumb."
"Then I couldn't find the way back."
Wayne rubbed her balls and smiled dotingly: "It's okay, if you really like the Holy Grail, I'll make one for you later."
"No need." Sakura shook her head and clenched her fists: "Next time I will never get lost again!"
Tomoyo kindly reminded: "Sakura, you will graduate by the next competition."
Sakura turned gray in an instant, and the other girls couldn't help laughing.
Under everyone's urging, Wayne told what happened later again.
Hearing that Voldemort had resurrected, except for Qiu and Astoria, the others were just shocked, but not too worried.
Keqiu and Astoria - one of them has a father who works in the Ministry of Magic, and the other is the heir of a pure-blood family, so they know the seriousness of the matter.
Wayne took out a bunch of jeweled accessories, both for men and women, and distributed them to the girls.
"This is what I made recently. It not only has the Aquis Shield that can defend against the Death Curse, but also can randomly Apparate after being triggered.It can spread to a place fifty miles away, and I will also feel it here. "
"Give it to everyone in the family. If it's not enough, just ask me directly."
No one refused. It would be irresponsible to give up such a life-saving thing.
Furong also gave a warm kiss: "I will come to accompany you after I finish my work in France."
"I want to accompany my brother too!" Gabrielle raised her little hand.
"You just wait for school obediently." Furong pinched her sister's face: "You have been playing crazy this year. Mom will definitely punish you when you go back."
The little girl's chubby round face shrank: "I don't want to go back!"
"You wish. ”
The two sisters quarreled, which made the atmosphere more relaxed.
In the last bit of time, everyone left Wayne to Tomoyo and Sakura.
The distance to the magic institute is too far. After returning this time, the next time they want to meet may be after they graduate.
Although Sakura and Tomoyo have fully met the graduation standards of the magic institute, they both decided to enjoy a year of carefree campus life before coming to England to find Wayne.
Furong also has the same plan. She will stay in Brunei after returning. She was an assistant teacher at Sparton for a year. She originally wanted to join the French Ministry of Magic, but was persuaded by Wayne.
Just look at Qiu's father and you will know how boring the work of the Ministry of Magic is.
He has not yet reached France, so he can't give Fleur much help.
At the same time, several principals who are still stranded in Hogwarts also gathered together to discuss the final champion.
"The person who attacked Vladimir must be found. Without that person, he will definitely win the championship after eating the invisible grass. ”
Katerina had no idea what happened last night and was very tough.
It was not Dumbledore who represented Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall.
Dumbledore should be in the Ministry of Magic now. Professor McGonagall knew everything that happened and was feeling very complicated and irritable.
Hearing Katerina's aggressive words, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
"If it was Professor Maxim who said this, I could still accept it, but Professor Katerina, you are a little naive."
"Look at where Vladimir is unconscious. He is still some distance away from the tower, not to mention the eight-eyed giant spiders and long-horned water snakes in the next five or six levels."
"The person who pretended to be Vladimir came to the seventh floor by means of Apparition. Even so, he still needed to sneak attack Diggory to get the trophy. Do you think Vladimir can do this? ”
Katerina’s face turned pale: “You mean the championship belongs to Digory?”
The other principals looked like they were enjoying the show, and Zhaka even started to add fuel to the fire: “I agree, Digory’s quality is definitely worthy of a championship. If nothing goes wrong, there will be no suspense about the ownership of the Holy Grail.”
Buso from their school was eliminated because of a sneak attack by Vladimir, so now is the time for him to apply eye drops.
Koga from the Institute of Magic said nothing, just smiled, his mind was not here.
He was thinking about whether to offer a course on how to find the way back at school, so that the contestants who participate in the competition next time will not be road-shy.
Lavchi also had a nonchalant attitude.
Cassandra performed well, but she was behind Fleur and was the third contestant to reach the top, so it would never be her turn.
Only Madam Maxime was interested.
"I didn't say that." Professor McGonagall retorted stiffly: "Diggory has taken the initiative to find me, and he gave up his place, so the championship belongs to Beauxbatons."
"McGonagall, are you serious?" Madam Maxime couldn't believe what she heard and asked again.
"Of course." Professor McGonagall nodded solemnly: "The Holy Grail is now in the hands of Mr. Lawrence, and you can take it away after the award ceremony at noon."
Madame Maxime smiled and bowed slightly: "In the end, we are the winners. Although Potter's participation was an accident, he did perform very well."
"As for the Holy Grail..." She paused: "Let's give it to Mr. Lawrence for safekeeping. He is the director of Beauxbatons and has the qualifications."
Professor McGonagall gave the championship to Beauxbatons, and she couldn't be ignorant.
Anyway, the title has been won, it's just a prize, so she'll just give it to Wayne.
This is another win-win for Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, and the only loser is Katerina who was excluded.
In anger, she didn't even attend the award ceremony at noon, and left Hogwarts with Costoris's students.
On the other side,
Dumbledore came to the Ministry of Magic. Because the matter to be discussed today was very important, he made an appointment with Fudge in a very formal manner.
Originally, the two had an appointment at 10 a.m., but it was not until the afternoon that he walked into Fudge's office under the guidance of Umbridge.
This made Dumbledore feel uneasy.
"Dolore, go out." Fudge ordered, and Umbridge smiled sweetly at him and closed the door.
Dumbledore ignored him. When he came in, he looked at the two black-robed figures in the corner of the room: (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Cornelly, why are there Dementors here?"
"This is the bodyguard I found, Albus. Someone in the Ministry wants to murder me. I don't trust anyone now. You will help me, right?"
Fudge looked sincere. He worked hard all day to transfer a few Dementors from Azkaban. Even if he was not mentally fit, only these monsters could give him a sense of security.
"I don't think Dementors are trustworthy." Dumbledore just glanced at the two Dementors, and they seemed to feel something terrible.Like a monster, he squeezed out through the crack of the window.
"Dumbledore, are you crazy?" Fudge looked at him in disbelief: "Half of us can sleep peacefully because of the Dementors guarding Azkaban."
"But Voldemort is back." Dumbledore whispered: "You saw it with your own eyes, right?"
"You should still remember his means of bewitching people back then. Dark creatures are his minions. You must replace the guards of Azkaban. Not only that, but there are also giants--"
"Enough!"
Fudge opened and closed his mouth, and finally couldn't help interrupting Dumbledore, shouting: "The mysterious man didn't come back, yes, he almost resurrected."
"But I saw three killing curses hit him with my own eyes, and the man in the crucible died!"
Fudge paced back and forth in the room excitedly.
"Now we just need to catch Peter Pettigrew and the man who rescued him. He is a new conspirator. But he is not as dangerous as You-Know-Who."
"You left too early. We don't know what happened next."
Dumbledore was still very patient and calmly told him everything that happened next. []
Fudge opened his mouth so wide that he could almost fit a sentence in it:
"Two, two mysterious men? He has resurrected again, impossible, you must be kidding!"
Fudge was so surprised that he couldn't breathe. He shook his head and denied Dumbledore's words: "It must be Potter who told you, right? That boy is always a little weird, he wants to get attention too much."
"No, this is what Wayne told me."
"Mr. Lawrence..." Fudge was even more horrified, and then he thought of something: "You said he broke half of Voldemort's body, no, who saw it?"
"Don't talk about Potter, I have felt that there is something wrong with that child for a long time, why didn't you tell me that he can speak Parseltongue?"
"Do you think Mr. Lawrence would lie?" Dumbledore once again borrowed Wayne's name.
Compared to Harry's insignificant influence, Wayne's existence is the one that Fudge cannot ignore.
He was now thankful that Wayne had brought Fudge over yesterday.
But even so, he still didn't want to believe the truth.
Dumbledore felt a faint disgust in his heart.
This is a politician.
"If what you said is true..." Fudge raised his head, his confused and shocked eyes turned into firmness, as if he had figured something out.
"Then do you think the You-Know-Who can survive so many killing curses?"
"Dumbledore, stop trying to create panic to seize power. There are too many loopholes in your lies."
Under Dumbledore's incredible expression, Fudge said word by word: "Whether it's Potter or Lawrence, they are all influenced by you, right?"
"I saw the You-Know-Who's death with my own eyes. The one who killed him was Peter Pettigrew, Bartik, and the other.Rauch, there is another mastermind behind the scenes, but you said he was You-Know-Who. "
"You-Know-Who wants to kill You-Know-Who?"
"Are you crazy or am I crazy? Even if you want to deceive me, please make up a reasonable process."
After saying that, Fudge was already panting and his face was bloodshot.
Dumbledore froze for a moment. Could he tell Fudge about the existence of the Horcrux?
There is no wall that is impermeable, and the Ministry of Magic and Fudge are walls made of sieves. If Fudge knew about the Horcrux, he dared to guarantee that the entire Ministry of Magic would know about it the next day.
How many ambitious people who desire immortality would be born at that time?
For a moment, Dumbledore found that he could not find any reason to go Convince him.
Seeing his performance, Fudge was more certain of his guess, his eyes had turned from anger to hatred, with a hint of fear.
Anyone who wanted to seize his power was his enemy.
Even Dumbledore, who had given him great support at the beginning, was the same.
Fudge raised his finger and pointed to the door:
"That's all for today's conversation. There are still many things to deal with in the department. I will contact you tomorrow to discuss the way Hogwarts runs a school."
With a sigh, Dumbledore stood up and walked out of the office.
He knew that from this moment on, the two of them parted ways. .
