war and peace

There was silence in the auditorium.After a long while, some people began to applaud sparsely, and finally it became a whole piece.And Severus Snape stood at the top of the stands, and when he saw the situation on the lake, his face quickly turned livid.Draco Malfoy sat in the middle of a large group of Slytherins, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

The referee's bench opposite them was much quieter.Mrs. Maxim was slightly surprised, and looked down at her watch; Ludo Bagman was probably the most moody of the referees, smiling all over his face, and applauding with the audience, "Mr. Potter is the first to come out It took only 5 minutes! I think we all want to know now, how did he find the target spot accurately and quickly in a fully deformed state?" Barty Crouch frowned, but didn't say anything.

Among the five referees, it should be said that Rabastan Lestrange was the most surprised among them, not one of them.He narrowed his eyes, hiding the bewilderment that flashed inside.

If the master and the savior boy were the exploit they envisioned, this move was over the line - announced in front of a crowd who were likely to learn his true identity soon and join the Death Eaters soon His relationship with the Savior.He has been following his master since he was a student, and he has never seen his master act so intimately with anyone, not even Bellatrix, who is madly infatuated with him, the master has never even touched her finger...

Considering that Potter has cast the master's favorite flying spell - although the spell is convenient, it requires a lot of magic power, and few people can use it. Basically, it is definitely taught to Potter by the master. ...I thought it was just a little favor. Could it be that the master really fell in love with the savior boy?Labestan's eyes darkened.While they had no right to interfere with their Master's private life, what if Potter stood in their way?Or could it become a favorable factor for the Order of the Phoenix to restrain them?It's all very possible...

Of course, the savior is indeed a very good sign, it is easy to win the hearts of ordinary people, and it is convenient to do things - although they don't care much about it.But the prerequisite for all of this to happen is that the savior is completely on their side, and will the Phoenix Society allow this to happen?

The pros and cons of this matter quickly turned in Labestan's head.He turned to look at Dumbledore who was near him, who was also staring at the center of the lake with an indescribable expression on his face, but he didn't seem too surprised.

If this is a conspiracy of the Order of the Phoenix, then they will be disappointed - since the master sent them a letter 13 years ago, telling them not to look for him, every order from him has stepped on the exact time when it should appear.And after the master reappeared, although the Death Eaters were not as active as before, and no longer appeared in front of the world in this name, it is undeniable that they have more and more things in their hands—— More than half of the hard currency, Fudge, who has basically been emptied, has even begun to penetrate the Muggle world.Speaking of Muggles, what was the good of eliminating them?It is in the greater good to govern them.Compared with the current situation, Grindelwald is a painful lesson from the past.

He can say without humility that the master has actually ascended to the pinnacle of power in the wizarding world.Unlike the superficial surrender brought about by the previous violence, the infiltration under the cloak of legality and rationality is difficult to detect...It is too late to discover this until people kneel at their feet unconsciously .

There was a smile on the corner of Labestan's mouth, and he leaned back comfortably.So what was he worried about just now?The master can definitely handle the savior, just like he doesn't care about the Order of the Phoenix.They have all learned the lessons of the previous time, and can they make the same mistakes when they make a comeback?

Harry was caught off guard by that deep kiss, but Voldemort let him go before he could humiliatingly suffocate.The two of them swam to the lake together, and when they landed, someone handed them each a big towel from the side.

"Oh no," said Harry, pointing to his dry robes, "they're still warm."

Madam Pomfrey, who was walking over with a purple potion, was very surprised when she heard this sentence.Seeing the robes of Harry and Mr. Gaunt fluttering gently in the cold February wind, with no water splashing at all, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's true!"

Several referees gathered around.Harry noticed that Labestan Lestrange was not looking at him so warily, and was only beckoning to Voldemort very lightly. "How did you do it, Mr. Potter? You can still maintain a clear human consciousness while transforming into an animal?" Bagman asked with interest.

Harry looked at Voldemort.His Transfiguration is all Voldemort's teaching, and this spell has surpassed people's imagination.

"From a book, "Mysterious Medieval Magic and Chronicles"." Voldemort pulled out a name casually.In fact, it was a whole set of ancient magic notes, involving an extremely wide range, and the Slytherin family added to it from generation to generation.They're on the big bookshelf in the Chamber of Secrets.

Professor McGonagall cried out in surprise when he heard this. "Isn't that already lost in the eleventh century AD?"

"I came across a few fragments of it when I was traveling around the world." Voldemort continued to lie without changing his face.Tsk, Dumbledore is still standing aside, he is not interested in sharing the good things left by his ancestors with the old bee.

Bagman sighed half in amazement and half in regret: "It's an amazing adventure, Mr. Gunter!" He turned to the other referees, "That means we can't get to the bottom of this matter. It is up to the adventurous discoverer himself to be willing to publish this mysterious spell."

Except for Dumbledore and Lestrange, the faces of the others were more or less envious and disappointed.They sat back in their seats and began to wait for the other warriors.

When the one-hour time limit was up, there was sudden movement on the calm lake.Several spiky pale green things popped up and pushed Fleur Delacour to the shore with their long fingers.But Furong was struggling desperately, and she seemed to want to go on.Several mermaid heads appeared around the Grindylos, whose heads were dark green due to the growth of algae. Their arms were short and strong, and they were much more powerful. They quickly pulled Furong to the shore.

"Gabriel! Gabriel!" Fleur desperately called her sister's name, and wanted to continue diving into the lake.Madame Maxime held her tightly.Madam Pomfrey refused to drink the potion, so she could only throw a blanket over her body.

Fleur still hadn't done her job... Harry pursed his lips, then his spell would work.

After another 5 minutes, the lake fluctuated again.Krum with the shark's head on his head held Hermione by one hand and swam towards the shore.Hermione woke up as soon as she came out of the water, and she saw Harry standing beside him from a distance, and Voldemort was talking to him leisurely, obviously finishing the project long ago.Thinking of the confrontation between Dumbledore and Voldemort's eyes before going down, she felt a chill down her back.

There was another commotion on the shore.Before everyone could settle Krum and Hermione in a hurry, ripples appeared on the lake again.Not Grindylow, not a mermaid, but a human.The little girl woke up slowly, and she sat up, feeling a little dazed about her situation—she seemed to be staying in a fully transparent boat, and the boat was automatically docking. "Gabriel!" Fu Rong recognized her sister's hair color from afar, and finally stopped throwing herself into the lake.

"How's it going, Hermione?" Harry finally let go, and turned to the girl whose ears were steaming from the potion.

"I fell asleep, and I don't feel anything." Hermione looked at Voldemort (she doubted anyone could really take him as a hostage), and at Fleur, who was already crying with her sister in her arms. "How did she do it? Dumbledore said that if the Time Warriors failed to rescue us, the mermaid would have done it."

"A little spell," Harry said under his breath.If possible, he would prefer not to let anyone know about it.But he also knew that he couldn't hide it immediately, because the white-bearded Dumbledore was squatting by the water's edge talking with the mermaid leader, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the second item, Harry got full marks without a doubt.Viktor Klum scored 25 points and Fleur [-].In the end, Bagman praised Harry in particular, and now the audience knew how Gabriel Delacour floated up from the bottom of the lake by herself.Fu Rong was so moved that she wanted to rush over, but was blocked by an invisible wall halfway, and was almost thrown into the lake by the back shock.

On the second weekend of March, the weather was a little clearer, the sun shone with white light, but the bitter cold wind was still raging.

"That's why I'm definitely going to keep my distance from you," said Hermione, tightening her scarf. "Look at Delacour... I almost made a fool of myself! I must have been out of my mind to think of going there." Matching you! I hope Sirius never finds out about this..."

"I've never been able to bear the look in Krum's eyes," Harry reminded her deliberately.By this time they had entered Hogsmeade along the driveway and stopped at the first fork in the road.

Hermione rolled her eyes skyward. "I'm going to buy some Mao Maoya mints, add some parchment and so on, and then gather at the three packs of brooms later, and then go back together, huh? And..." The pretended relaxed expression on her face disappeared, showing Very worried, "Good luck to you."

Tom, who had been silent all this time, nodded slightly.The two of them headed down the path to the left, rounded a dip, and finally climbed up a small hill where there was a rickety wooden house—the Screaming Shack.

"Nice place for a date," Voldemort commented.He changed shape after he was out of sight on the road, after all Sirius wanted to see the legendary Mr. Gaunt.

Harry looked at him helplessly, "Sirius wouldn't have been so anxious to know, I promised him an explanation after the Triwizard Tournament... if you didn't do it after the second project, Rita Skeeter also took the opportunity to describe what he said with embellishments." He shook his head, "It's useless to say this now." He glanced at the house not far away, and said very solemnly: "I'll go in first , don't come in if there is any movement, until I call you... We agreed?"

Aren't you just worried that the situation will be out of control by then?Voldemort was playing with his yew wand in his sleeve, he could finish Sirius with a single spell, and he nodded without showing it.

Harry looked back at him as he walked, always feeling unsafe, and cast a secrecy spell before entering the door.He was really afraid that Sirius would go all out with Voldemort after he knew the truth, and comparing the two, his godfather must be at a disadvantage...so it's best not to let the two of them meet.

It took him more than half an hour to go in.When he finally came out, Harry's face was more serious than when he went in.

"Why, you couldn't convince him?" Voldemort turned around and saw that his boy's eyes were a little red, and he frowned immediately: "Did he bully you?"

"No," Harry hastily denied, but his eyes couldn't help worrying: "He has basically believed me, and he won't say it... However, he has a request... He wants to talk to you in person."

Voldemort touched his cheek, feeling a sudden pain in his heart. "I know he is your godfather." It was not easy for the boy to make such a choice, and he would not let everything the boy did go to waste. "I have a measure."

Harry watched his back disappear through the door.After the second project was completed, Sirius almost rushed to Hogwarts to come to theory, but he dragged him to Hogsmeade for the weekend because of schoolwork.Apparently Sirius couldn't take it anymore, and he, Voldemort, and Hermione all agreed that telling him the truth was best (similar to what Hermione knew, omitting the truth from the previous life).As for the subsequent reaction...

From the disbelief when he understood it at the beginning, to the rage later, to knowing that his godson had actually lived and died with Voldemort-this was a very big blow to Sirius, completely and never before blow.He was very painfully aware that Harry, really liked Voldemort; besides, he couldn't manage to kill Voldemort to avenge James and Lily - he had to admit that Harry was quite right on this point Well, the dead are already dead, no matter how many people are killed, they will not be able to bring them back to life; taking ten thousand steps back, he will not push Harry into the abyss of life with his own hands.

Sirius finally calmed down, knowing that Harry was for everyone's good.And he also has self-knowledge, he understands the strength gap between himself and Voldemort.However, Harry was so determined, even if he was overwhelmed, he had to warn Voldemort of the consequences of this matter - if he dared to deceive Harry!

As a result, Voldemort didn't say a word after entering the door, just waved his wand, and Sirius succeeded in being shocked by what he saw, without uttering a word of prepared reproach.
