Ever since Voldemort rescued the Death Eaters in Azkaban, his ability to cause trouble has directly improved to a new level.
In the past, he hid behind Quirrell and Peter Pettigrew, and only dared to come out to do some sneaky things after the final exam. He said he was the Dark Lord, but in fact he was more like the Yakuza.
But now he is attacking the Quidditch World Cup and setting fire to the Durmstrang magic ship. If any of them succeeds, it will be a huge disaster!
And tonight, as the last event of the Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort and his team of Death Eaters have no reason not to make big news!
Just like in the original time and space, Voldemort asked Barty Crouch Jr. to replace the Triwizard Cup, take Harry and Cedric to the cemetery together, and finally caused Cedric's death.
Now that Voldemort has a group of loyal Death Eaters, he will only do more!
Of course Rolf would not allow this to happen, so he asked Lupine and Sirius to carefully inspect the Quidditch field to ensure the safety of the entire event...at least the safety of Shirley, Hermione and Fleur.
As for Harry, although he lacked the important raw material of "father's bones" and the "enemy's blood" should have lost its effect, with Voldemort's obsession, there is no chance that he would be captured.
Therefore, Harry's safety is also very important.
Rolf and Lupine chatted for a while, and Krum's parents came over and thanked him for saving their son. After that, more parents learned about the fire on the Durmstrang magic ship and came over to thank him.
After accepting their thanks, Rolf and the others quickly left the noisy conference room and took a leisurely walk in Hogwarts Castle.
The long staircase was winding and winding, like a bolt of lightning, stretching upwards. Rolf and Shirley, supporting Newt and Tina respectively, walked slowly upward.
Returning to the old place many years later, Newt, who was usually a bit autistic and not very talkative, started to talk more now. He looked at the moving stairs and sighed softly:
"This place is still the same, almost unchanged from when I was in school... Be careful where you step, the stairs in front of you, I remember they will disappear if you step on them."
"That's right." Luo Fu said in surprise: "You actually remember this."
Newt smiled slightly. "When I was your age, I climbed these stairs countless times and I could pass them with my eyes closed."
"Just brag in front of the two children." Tina smiled and said with bright eyes:
"When you first brought me to Hogwarts, you said you wanted to show me the North Tower, but you ended up getting lost for half an hour, and finally took me to the West Tower."
When the dark history was revealed, Newt blushed and said, "Didn't that mean that Sir Cadogan gave me the wrong direction?
By the way, is that guy still in the corridor of the Charms Classroom?"
"No longer." Rolf shook his head and said, "He once got drunk and went to Gryffindor Tower to tease the Fat Lady, and then was 'assigned' by Professor McGonagall to the floor of the North Tower leading to the Divination classroom.
superior."
Newt and Tina were speechless when they heard this. They had seen the Fat Lady, but they didn't expect Sir Cadogan to do such a thing. He was really not picky about food.
The four of them arrived on the fifth floor, walked slowly along the corridor, and passed a row of tall arched windows. They had a panoramic view of the square, the Black Lake, the Quidditch field and the Forbidden Forest in the distance.
Newt suddenly stopped. He stood by the window, looking at the familiar scenery. His eyes were filled with thoughts for a while, and memories quietly came to his mind.
The old man seemed to go back to the time when he was eleven years old. He missed the train in the morning and secretly took a hippogriff raised by his mother to arrive at Hogwarts.
During the sorting, the Niffler came out of Newt's pocket and snatched the Sorting Hat, but the naughty little guy was caught by a young wizard while escaping.
Newt, who was later assigned to Hufflepuff House, learned from his brother Theseus that the young wizard named Dumbledore was their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Newt remembered meeting Leta Lestrange for the first time when he was thirteen. The girl hid in the closet where he kept ravens, tadpoles and a giant snail in order to escape the pursuit of young Minerva McGonagall.
inside.
Newt thought of Jacob again, of Aberforth's son Credence, and of Nagini who turned into a snake girl...
The old man sighed softly, this was actually six or seventy years ago, and many of these people are already dead.
Tina felt Newt's sadness, gently took his arm, and the two walked side by side, walking forward.
Shirley also held Rolf's arm, and the two young and old, one behind the other, walked slowly in Hogtzwo Castle.
…
…
Throughout the day, Rolf and Shirley walked around the castle with Newt and Tina. They saw Beauxbatons' carriage, the Whomping Willow, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
The secret room...
In the evening, they returned to the auditorium to have dinner.
At this time, Ludo Bagman and Cornelius Fudge both sat at the staff table.
Ludo looked very happy and was excitedly discussing something with Otavi Akus, Director of the Department of International Cooperation.
But Fudge, who was sitting next to Umbridge, had a sullen face and said nothing, as if he had just had a quarrel with Dumbledore.
The dinner was more sumptuous than usual, and dishes appeared on the table one after another, including thick barley and venison soup, cold beets sprinkled with nut fragments, snails boiled with honey and garlic, grilled trout sealed in clay, and pigeon meat stuffing.
cake……
When the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to dark purple dusk, Dumbledore stood up beside the staff table. Everyone fell silent and looked at the principal with expectant eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite you all to go to the Quidditch pitch to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, warriors, please go to the sports ground with Mr. Bagman."
Rove stood up, and the students of Hufflepuff House applauded him. The students of other houses also cheered for the warriors of their own houses.
Rolf walked out of the auditorium with Fleur, Shirley, and Hermione, and the cheers stopped.
Under the organization of the prefects and deans, several college students got up, left the dining table, and walked out of the auditorium.
The students were about to leave completely when they saw Sirius rushing in. He quickly came to the staff table and whispered:
"Professor Dumbledore...something happened."
"What's wrong?" Dumbledore frowned.
"I just received a letter from Tonks." Sirius said solemnly:
"She said...the Dursleys were missing."
"Gone?!"
"Yes." Sirius took out two identical envelopes from his pocket and said, "Tonks and Mrs. Figg were still on the floor in their living room and found this..."
Dumbledore took the first letter, which he wrote to Petunia. He looked at the second letter and pulled out the paper inside.
It was a piece of white paper, but there was a strong...confusion spell on it.
