A friendly day at Hogwarts

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Dad." Percy said perfunctoryly. He obviously didn't agree with his father's point of view. "You know, it is easy for our department to achieve results this year. In addition to the World Cup, there is also an amazing event. large-scale events..."

As he spoke, he cast a mysterious look at Harry, Hermione and others, and raised his voice deliberately, as if to arouse their curiosity.

"You know what activity I'm talking about, Dad." He said proudly, "This is top secret!"

Ron rolled his eyes and murmured: "Ever since he started working, he's been trying to tease us into asking him what kind of event it is. Probably a thick-bottomed crucible exhibition."

"You really blamed him wrongly, Ron." Glenn shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Percy didn't lie to you. It was indeed an amazing large-scale event."

Judging from the current intelligence level of Carmichael's second-hand store, the Triwizard Tournament is no longer a secret.How could he hide things that even a new employee like Percy knew from someone like Mr. Carmichael who dealt with all kinds of intelligence every day.

In addition, Voldemort may have already received the news at this time.Affected by the butterfly effect, compared with the original work, although Wormtail is no longer around him now, he has gathered more returning Death Eaters. Otherwise, he would not have been able to brazenly break into the Department of Mysteries a year ago. , the idea of ​​​​a time converter.

In other words, although nothing happened to Bertha Jorkins, Voldemort was still likely to know the plans for the Triwizard Tournament in advance.

"What activity?" Harry couldn't help his curiosity and asked, putting down his fork.

Glenn smiled at him and said, "The Triwizard Tournament."

"This is impossible!" Ron exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.

Fred looked at him with a smile and asked: "What surprised our dear brother so much? Why don't we also hear it?"

"Glenn said that there is going to be some kind of... Triwizard Tournament... this year..." Harry explained in a daze.

The twins immediately perked up, leaned over and asked, "Are you serious, Glenn?"

Glenn glanced at him with a smile and pursed his lips in Percy's direction: "If you don't believe it, you can check with Percy."

"Hey, Percy!" George interrupted Percy's spiel about the Crucible Report without hesitation and asked, "That large-scale event you've been mentioning in a roundabout way these past few days could be the Triwizard Tournament, right? "

"How is it possible? Of course not-"

Halfway through Percy's subconscious ridicule, he was immediately interrupted by himself.

"How do you know? This is top secret information and will not be announced until the Ministry of Magic deems it appropriate!"

The trio and the twins all looked at Glenn.

Glenn shrugged and explained: "Actually, this matter may not be that top secret. At least half of the shopkeepers in Diagon Alley already know..."

What he said was half-truth, and other shop owners were not sure yet, but except for Mr. Carmichael from the second-hand shop, at least old Ollivander had already received the news.

After all, as the most famous wand maker in the UK, he would also come to Hogwarts in person to help players check the status of their wands, so it would be reasonable to receive advance notice.

After hearing Glenn's explanation, Percy was immediately discouraged and his mood was obviously much lower.

As a young man who had just entered the workplace and wanted to climb up the ladder, he always believed that being able to master such confidential information meant that his superiors recognized him.After all, the reason why secrets are called secrets is because only a small number of people know about them, which means that only people with important status are qualified to know.

But according to Glenn, this so-called confidential information has long been known to everyone, which means that his position in the ministry is not as important as imagined.

No one paid attention to the depressed Percy, and everyone began to discuss the Triwizard Tournament animatedly, especially Fred and George who were the most excited.

Not only because of their love for adventure, but also because of the high prize of 1000 Galleons for the champion.

If the money can be obtained, their long-awaited Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes will soon be built.

"Okay, go back to bed quickly. You underage wizards have to take the Portkey to the venue, so you need to get up very early and go out!"

The moon climbed higher and higher, and seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Weasley stood up and drove them back to rest.

Glenn, Harry and Ron all got into the tent borrowed by Mr. Weasley. This was the first time Harry saw a magic tent using the Invisible Stretch Charm, and he was amazed for a moment.

"I love magic..." He couldn't help but sigh as he stood in the entrance hall of the tent and looked around.

Although he had to get up early the next day, Glenn still asked Harry about the dream mentioned in his previous letter.

"It was in an old house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. I saw Voldemort kill an old Muggle man with a curse." Harry said simply.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Glenn asked again, "For example, how did you witness this process? Is there anyone else around Voldemort?"

Harry frowned and thought about it for a while,

Detailed description: "Same as before, according to your statement, I should have experienced it from Voldemort's perspective. There were two people with him. One of them was tall, fierce-looking, and dressed very delicately; the other He is about 30 years old, with pale skin, seems to have some freckles, and light yellow hair..."

When he mentioned the first person, Glenn was still a little confused and couldn't figure out who he was talking about. But the second person was obvious——

Barty Crouch Jr.

It turns out that although Glenn and Mr. Carmichael tried to seal the secret of little Crouch, the matter eventually reached the ears of Voldemort and successfully took him out of Crouch Manor.

At this point in time, it has not even reached the time when Crouch Jr. summoned the Dark Mark in the World Cup.It can be seen that Voldemort's intelligence capabilities at this time are not simple.

As for the other, it's hard to guess.Harry's description was too general, and at this time Voldemort could not find the most trustworthy and loyal followers around him.

Bellatrix was still in Azkaban, and Lucius Malfoy had completely lost his status, so this person's identity was not within the scope of Glenn's familiarity.

"Do you remember exactly what they mentioned, Harry?" Glenn continued.

"Yes..." Harry pursed his lips and nodded.
