Chapter 613 Cedric Diggory (13)
The Triwizard Tournament did not take place immediately.
Therefore, before the competition officially begins, the young wizards still have to attend classes.
This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has a new one. The previous professor, Professor Lupin, chose to resign because his identity as a werewolf was exposed.
The new professor is named Alastor Moody. He has a moving magic eye, looks crazy, and has a damaged leg...
All these scars were the marks of his battles with Voldemort as an Auror and an early member of the Order of the Phoenix.
But no one knew that the man who appeared as Professor Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr. who had drunk the Polyjuice Potion.
The real Professor Moody was hidden in his magic box.
"Defense against the Dark Arts. I always advocate more practice..."
After saying this, Professor Moody asked the young wizards what unforgivable curses they knew and demonstrated their suggestions.
His crazy look made the young wizards feel very uncomfortable, and they felt a little afraid.
After the class was over, Yun Ci heard Hannah Abbott breathe a sigh of relief. Susan Bones, who was a little further away, also subconsciously looked at Yun Ci with an expression that said "it's finally over".
"'Unforgivable Curse'... it's so scary..."
"Hopefully we both never meet."
I guess...it will still happen.
The current protagonists don’t know about the Horcruxes yet, but Yun Ci will get all the Horcruxes she can find during the summer vacation.
Apart from the destroyed diary, all that was left was Harry Potter and Nagini.
Room of Requirement.
Yun Ci sat on the chair, looking at the four Horcruxes in front of her: the golden cup, the crown, the locket, and the resurrection stone ring.
It is called a Horcrux, but in fact the soul of Voldemort attached to it has been destroyed by Yun Ci.
She was just thinking about how to hand these things over.
At this point in time, Dumbledore seemed to have guessed about the Horcruxes and was investigating Tom Riddle's past from the beginning, not during the Voldemort period.
Once a Horcrux appears, it will definitely leave traces.
Yun Ci disposed of the things quietly, which made her untrustworthy in the other party's eyes.
If this matter is kept secret any longer, the wizarding world will probably keep searching for Voldemort's Horcrux which no longer exists.
Yun Ci used magic to unfold the ordinary parchment bought from Hogsmeade, which was used by the public, and then pulled Xiao Ai out and asked her to write.
The neat and square printed characters come to life on the paper as Yunci tells her story.
The box containing these Horcruxes was also an ordinary box. Yun Ci did not do anything at all. She used magic to roll up the parchment, tied it up, threw it into the box together, and then gave it to Xiao Ai to deliver.
In addition to mentioning the Horcruxes in the letter, Yun Ci also briefly wrote about Voldemort's next plan, such as the trophy at the end of the Triwizard Tournament becoming a portkey.
As for how Dumbledore would be suspicious, vigilant, and alert after receiving the letter...that was not something Yun Ci needed to worry about.
She is just an ordinary student now. Even if she meets the hurried Headmaster Dumbledore's eyes in the corridor, she will greet him politely and well-behavedly, and then continue to do her own thing.
"Xiaoci!" Cedric was standing at the stairs, looking around. When he saw Yunci, he waved, "I finally found you."
"Are you going to vote for your name?"
"Yes." Cedric nodded seriously, "I want you to witness this moment together."
"Of course, that's what I'm here for."
There was a bustle in the conference hall.
Surrounded by the crowd and amid cheers, Cedric walked across the age line set by Dumbledore and threw the parchment with his name on it into the Goblet of Fire.
The blue flames flickered, slowly engulfing the parchment.
"Oh oh oh——!"
The Hufflepuffs cheered Cedric's name and gathered around him again.
Cedric had a smile on his face and looked at Yun Ci with bright eyes first, then he lowered his head embarrassedly amid the cheers of his friends.
It was raining heavily outside.
The Weasley twins came in excitedly and used the aging potion to get within the age limit.
Although they were not successful, the two men who turned into little old men still brought a lot of joy to everyone.
Thursday.
‘Boom——’
‘Boom——’
‘Boom——’
"Now is the long-awaited Warrior Selection—"
Dumbledore waved his hand and used magic to extinguish all the fires in the room.
The entire Great Hall was illuminated by the blue flame of the Goblet of Fire, and then the flame instantly turned red, and a piece of paper spit out.
"German Shepherd Strong Warrior—Viktor Krum!"
"Oh oh oh oh--"
"Beauxbatons Champion—Fleur Delacour!"
'Clap clap--'
Applause and cheers rang out again.
"Hogwarts Warrior—Cedric Diggory!"
"yeah--!!!"
"Oh oh oh oh--"
Cedric stood up with a smile, high-fived his friends, patted Yunci's head, and then walked towards the room where the warriors gathered.
Yun Ci raised his eyebrows, looked at Cedric and smiled back at him, then quickened his pace.
There were bursts of teasing laughter from the long Hufflepuff table.
Yun Ci patted Susan's outstretched hand without changing her expression: "Listen carefully."
Headmaster Dumbledore was preaching in the front, and when he was speaking excitedly, the quiet Goblet of Fire became noisy again.
The red flames were almost burning to the ceiling, and then a piece of paper slowly fell into Dumbledore's hands.
"…Harry Potter."
Harry Potter, who was originally listening happily:?
No, why is there his name?
"Harry Potter!"
No matter what Dumbledore was thinking, he was quite anxious when he called Harry Potter.
Not only did Harry Potter not dare to stand up, he even shrank back.
But it was no use hiding it, and finally he stood up under Hermione's push and took the note with his name on it.
"He cheated!"
"He's not even 17!"
The auditorium was very quiet, and then it became noisy the moment the professors left.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why can he ..."
Hannah looked at Yunci: "Yunci, what do you think?"
"I think... there is a conspiracy."
"Eh?"
"Why do you say that?"
"That's the limit set by Headmaster Dumbledore. Do you think Harry Potter is more powerful than Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Is Harry Potter more powerful than Headmaster Dumbledore?
How is that possible.
Although they knew that Harry Potter was the 'savior' who defeated that man, it did not mean that he was better than the famous wizard, Headmaster Dumbledore.
That is absolutely impossible!
