Chapter 129 Preparation for Project 3
Chapter 129 Preparation for Project 3
Dumbledore directly took Qiubai and old Batty to the Pig's Head Bar by using Apparatus.Putting old Barty on Aberforth's sofa, Dumbledore said, "What the hell is going on?"
"As far as I know, Mr. Crouch was captured by Voldemort, but he escaped and went to Hogwarts to ask you for help. Fake Moody cast a death curse on Mr. Crouch..." Qiu Bai tried his best Explain concisely.
"But...he's not dead." Dumbledore looked at old Barty several times in surprise, confirming that he was just unconscious.
"I used several spells to hide behind Mr. Crouch. When the fake Moody used the death curse, I used a unique magic circle to help him block it, and at the same time used a stun spell on him." Qiubai explain.
"Can it really resist the death curse?" Dumbledore couldn't believe it.
"Yes, at present... Maybe there is a future, only I can do it alone. Unless there is another half-elf wizard." Qiubai shrugged.
The more proficient he was in using the anti-death curse formation, the more Qiu Bai realized how difficult it was to operate.She was able to use it thanks to her half elven blood, or because of the elven gems, which gave her enough speed to draw this extremely difficult magic circle.
Normal wizards don't have enough speed, and elves with speed have no magic power, which leads to the fact that only a unique half-elf like Qiubai can use this magic circle proficiently.
Dumbledore was a little disappointed after hearing Qiubai's words. After living for more than 100 years, the biggest scar in his heart is the Killing Curse. If he can teach students this defense against black magic, will it reduce the occurrence of many tragedies? Woolen cloth.
"Who is the fake Moody..." Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows.
"Barty Crouch Jr." Qiubai said firmly.
"Impossible, how could he kill his father!" Dumbledore denied.
"Fake Moody's attitude towards Mr. Crouch is very strange," Qiubai recalled the situation at that time, "It was a kind of hatred that turned into a kind of incomprehension, and it looked a lot like Barty Jr., because Crouch Mister was sent to Azkaban, and later Mr. Crouch used various methods to put him under house arrest, which caused Barty Jr. to hate his father."
"It's terrible..." Dumbledore murmured.
"It's not as scary as you. Is it appropriate to break into someone's house without making a sound?" Aberforth opened the door and looked at the two of them with displeasure. To be precise, it was Dumbledore.
Dumbledore pulled his long beard and smiled awkwardly, "Business, business."
"Aberforth, long time no see." Qiubai greeted.
"Hmph, the candles are almost used up, I don't mind if you make up some more as an apology for your intrusion." Aberforth gave Dumbledore a blank look, and for Qiubai's sake he didn't care anymore, he glanced at Old Barty on the couch, "Isn't that Barty Crouch guy?"
"Yes, Mr. Crouch has fainted now, and now..." Qiubai pointed to his head, "Maybe he is a little crazy, so can you please put him here for the time being?"
"Crazy? Oh, no, I don't want a crazy person in my house." Aberforth refused with a look of disgust.
"Just provide a place to live and keep him from running out. I can find someone to take care of him," said Dumbledore.
"Just pay for the room," Aberforth mumbled.
Aberforth used the Levitation Charm to bring old Barty to a room opposite the hut where the werewolf was once held.Dumbledore watched Aberforth disappear down the corridor, squinting and smiling.
Qiu Bai asked: "Who do you want to take care of him?"
Dumbledore looked back and said lightly, "I think one of my employees would be happy to take care of him, and that employee doesn't want a salary at all."
"There are not many such employees." Qiubai shrugged, she watched Aberforth come out of the room, and continued to say to Dumbledore, "If it's Moody's place, tell him Mr. Crouch It's already 'dead'."
"Yes." Dumbledore whispered.
In the next few days, Qiubai found time to go to the Pig's Head Bar again, and the so-called employee who didn't want a salary turned out to be Winky, the house elf who was fired by old Barty.She liked the new mission that Dumbledore gave her very much, although old Batty didn't know her very well...
Qiubai lamented that among the dead-headed house elves, it might take hundreds of years to produce one like Dobby.Qiubai suddenly missed her housekeeper a little bit. Xingxing was really the most "normal" elf she had ever seen. Of course, to be more specific, she missed Xingxing's little cake.
Alas... when can I go home?
The time quickly entered June, and the atmosphere in the castle became tense and exciting again, not only because the time to go home was getting closer, but also because the third competition was about to start.
In order to ward off possible dangers in the maze, Harry found an empty classroom to practice spells whenever he was free, and Professor McGonagall also opened the door to allow Harry and the others to use the Transfiguration classroom during lunch time.
Hermione made a list of spells for Harry, let Harry learn them one by one, and pulled Ron to be a target for Harry to practice spells.One day Ron finally proposed kidnapping Mrs. Norris after being tormented, and Harry, who had no other choice, found Qiubai.
"To pieces!" Harry yelled.
With a snap, several sparks splashed from Qiubai's fingertips, "No, the strength is not enough, try again!"
"Bones to pieces!" A bright red light flashed across the empty classroom, hit Qiu Baihua's magic defense array, and disappeared completely in an instant.
"That's right, it's done." Qiu Bai applauded.
Harry raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his brow, panting and pouring water into his thirsty mouth.Since the target had been replaced by a fall, Harry didn't have to worry about hurting anyone, and the "target" didn't even need a chance to breathe.This made Harry study several times faster.
"Let's try the Iron Armor Curse, you're not yet proficient in this." Qiubai was ready to strike while he was in victory.
"it is good!"
Harry raised his wand again, and Hermione, who was watching from the side, also joined in. Qiubai cast a petrifying spell first, which was successfully blocked by Harry, and Hermione immediately cast a Weak Legs spell.Harry's magic shield covered his upper body, and his unblocked legs were hit, and he fell directly to the ground.
"Oh, my God." Hermione looked at Harry with disgust, "This is the fifth time you've been hit, won't you expand the scope of the Iron Armor Curse?"
"Hold, sorry." Harry stroked the back of his head.
"The main reason is that the sensitivity is not enough. You can see that my magic circle is not as big as the whole body, but basically I can defend it." Qiu Bai said.
"Can I practice?" Harry stood up and took a few steps with a limp.
Qiubai lifted Harry's soft leg curse, "Of course," she raised her eyebrows, with an inscrutable expression on her face, she asked, "Are you afraid of pain?"
"I can hold on," said Harry firmly.
"Is it over?" Ron stretched his head into the classroom and asked, he came over immediately after finishing the homework due tomorrow.
"Not yet," said Hermione.
"Why don't you go back first, you will start the exam next Monday, won't you?" Qiubai said to Hermione and Ron.They do not have the privileges of the Warriors and still need to take the exam, so they should hurry up and review.
"Can you?" Hermione was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Qiubai said.
Hermione heard this, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. Miss Shire has always been synonymous with reliability in her heart, especially after seeing Miss Shire's miraculous defensive skills these days.She handed Qiubai the list of spells, and then took Ron away.
Qiu Bai listened to Ron yelling "I just came out of the library" with a broken smile, and glanced at the spells on the list, and indeed only the Iron Armor Charm was left unchecked.She sighed, if possible, she actually wanted to teach Harry the defensive magic circle, but even Severus couldn't teach such advanced things.
"Are you ready? Train your Iron Armor Charm." Qiubai said.
Harry nodded and raised his wand, "Let's go!"
Qiubai found a place ten steps away from Harry, stretched out his hands, moved his fingers, and gradually built seven to eight magic formations, and then superimposed other formulas on the formations, and put the formations together Floating to every corner of the classroom.
Harry looked at the silver magic circle surrounding him in amazement, "This...what is this?" Then a hail-sized water ball was shot from the magic circle facing him, hitting his face with a bang superior.
"Take your wand and cast the Iron Armor Charm, Harry," said Qiubai, leaning against the wall with folded arms.
As soon as Qiubai finished speaking, water spheres appeared from all the magic circles and smashed towards Harry one after another.Harry quickly defended with the Iron Armor Charm.But the water polo kept wetting his clothes from all directions, and it was quite painful.
When Harry became a water man, he was finally able to block the water polo from all angles for 3 minutes in a row.The magic circle also lost its magic support and slowly dissipated into the air.Harry wiped his wet hair pale and sat down on the chair next to the wall.The right hand that had been waving non-stop before was hanging down as if broken.
"Yes, it's done." Qiubai ticked off the spells on the list.
"It's finally over, I can't even raise my hands," Harry said weakly.
"Come on, let me rub it for you." Qiubai stepped forward, put it on Harry's shoulder and slowly rubbed it. She used a little skill to make Harry feel a little sore but not very painful. sharp.
After humming and whimpering to accept the care of his godmother, Harry shook his arms that were still a little sore, and said with bright eyes, "I'm much better! Thank you!"
"It's not long before the competition, you can practice a few more spells." Qiubai wiped the water off Harry's body with a quick-drying spell, "Of course, if you don't want to learn anything else, you can practice the spells on this list It’s okay to be more proficient.”
Qiubai smiled and raised the list in his hand, then handed it to Harry, "Then I'll go first, the next practice is up to you!"
As soon as he left the classroom, Qiubai's hand was caught by the invisible air.Qiubai grasped the hand instead by feeling, and then clasped his fingers tightly.It wasn't until entering the cellar that Qiubai turned around and hugged the air next to him, and watched Severus appear in the air.
"Your illusion spell is getting stronger and stronger." Qiubai said, "If you hadn't held my hand, I wouldn't even know you were here."
The coldness between Severus's eyebrows and eyes melted like ice and snow under a volcano, "I'm just looking for my fiancée who doesn't come home." He stared at Qiu Bai's moist red lips and whispered.
Qiubai politely gave Severus the kiss he was looking forward to, "Obviously you didn't come home," she took the opportunity to scratch Severus' nose with her own, "Potion ingredients replenished? Do you need me to reimburse you?"
Severus paused for a while before saying, "Well, it's enough to fake Moody and make Polyjuice Potion for a whole year. And...even if you want to be reimbursed, you should go to Dumbledore."
"There is no chance to give him another whole year. The third project is his ultimate goal, and it's time for the fox to show its tail." Qiubai murmured.
After Rita's unremitting efforts, she finally sneaked into the fake Moody's office.From her excited description, Qiubai learned something about it.Fake Moody keeps repeating maniacally in the office "The third project is finally here", "I wish I could see the great Dark Lord resurrected", "No one can stop me, that boy Diggory is too I'm in the way"...
"He's been drinking Polyjuice Potion!" Rita looks like she's written up everything she's seen in the paper, "That's not old Moody, old Moody's in a box, I saw fake Moody Pulled his hair! This is big news! You are right, yes, I must expose the truth!"
"Have you seen his original appearance?" Qiu Bai asked.
Rita froze, and she said, "No...no...but it must be some Death Eater, I'm sure!" She narrowed her eyes suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Maybe someone with a problem brain Maybe, otherwise, why would you say that the mysterious man will be resurrected? Why don't you arrest him, Auror, you can find an Auror."
"Maybe... Voldemort is really back." Qiubai also lowered his voice.
"Don't say that name!" Rita raised her voice suddenly, and smiled awkwardly when she saw Qiu Bai's displeased face, "I think it's unlikely, the mysterious person was killed when the savior was one year old." Defeated, everyone in the wizarding world knows this, right?"
Qiubai snorted, "Sometimes, what the eyes see is the truth. And what I'm more worried about is..." Qiubai patted Rita on the shoulder, "The credibility of your report has plummeted, So I suggest you get a camera. Like taking a picture of the fake Moody when he's unmasked..."
Rita's eyes widened, and she felt the great benefits of Qiubai's suggestion, "But... But the camera can't be used... No! I know!"
"That's a Ravenclaw," Qiubai said.What kind of solution Rita thought of, Qiubai still doesn't know yet.But she couldn't help but give Rita a thumbs up afterwards.
In the anticipation of everyone, the third project has arrived.The day before the start of the project, Professor McGonagall found Qiubai and said that the relatives of the warriors would be invited to Hogwarts to watch the game, and the warriors could spend some time with their families.
Thinking about himself who meets Harry every day, Qiubai thought for a while, "I think my company has never been broken, why not give this opportunity to Arthur and Molly, even if Sirius didn't invite him of."
The school director and competition sponsor can be so capricious...
"Okay...you can decide." Professor McGonagall said helplessly.
In the end, it was Harry who had the most people at the relative meeting.The Weasleys and their eldest son Bill, plus Sirius and Remus who came uninvited, and Qiubai standing aside.
"Didn't think so!" said Mrs. Weasley enthusiastically. "Neither did we, but we did want to come and watch you play, Harry!" She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"How are you?" Bill smiled and shook Harry's hand. "Charlie wants to come too, but he can't leave. He said that your fight against Shufeng was so exciting that he wanted to learn dragon language."
"More than that, the second match was also very good." Sirius said quite proudly, as if he was the one who played.
"Yes, I've heard that too," said Mrs. Weasley. "How's the view at the bottom of the lake? Shire."
"I don't know, I'm dizzy." Qiubai winked secretly at Harry.
"Yes, they're all fainted. There's only the mermaid and Grindylow at the bottom of the lake, and everything else is pitch black," said Harry.
"Okay..." Mrs. Weasley lowered her voice suddenly, "I heard that Hermione also went to the bottom of the lake, the one from Bulgaria..."
"Krum." Harry whispered, he didn't want to be heard by Krum who was chatting with his family over there, "Hermione said that she has nothing to do with Krum, and recently she doesn't like people calling her Talk to Krum."
Mrs. Weasley suddenly became happy when she heard that, and Harry was a little confused, so she patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Take us around, we haven't been to Hogwarts for many years, right? , Arthur?"
Mr. Weasley said, "Yes, many years."
Bill looked around the conference room and said, "I haven't seen this place for five years. Is the portrait of the mad knight still there, Sir Cadogan?"
"Oh, it's still there," said Harry. "I can show you."
"I'll go too, I'll go too. I haven't been here for a long time." Sirius interjected.
"Obviously last year..." Sirius interrupted before Qiubai finished speaking.
"Turn around aboveboard!" Sirius glared at Qiubai, then turned his head and left, "Harry, hurry up, let's go."
Harry smiled and asked Qiubai, "Do you want to go together?"
"No, I've done enough rounds, you guys go." Qiubai replied.
"Ok."
Harry called the Weasleys together, chased Sirius and they went out.And Qiubai looked back at Cedric who was talking with his parents.Cedric felt Qiubai's gaze, he smiled and nodded towards Qiubai.
Qiubai suddenly remembered that Edward once told her that Qiu Zhang's diary said that she not only participated in the savior's war against the Dark Lord, but also saved Cedric.She also thought of Rita's soliloquy about the fake Moody. The fake Moody has murderous intentions for Cedric, and the third project is extremely thrilling for Cedric.
Thinking of this, Qiu Bai pursed her lips. She would never let Cedric die, so she had to find a way to protect Cedric.
Coming out of the conference room, Qiubai went to the cellar and found that Severus had brewed an improved version of Wolfsbane potion again. The biological ring was hanging in the air 3 feet above the ground, and Xiaobai's half body was hanging in the air dozed on his ring.
"What is Xiaobai doing?" Qiubai approached Severus and asked.
"Maybe it's too boring," Severus said. "Greyback was terrified by her, and he's still shaking inside."
[It's because he's so useless. 】Xiao Bai hissed lazily.
[It's because you have too much strength. 】 Qiubai said helplessly.
I still remember when Greyback turned into a werewolf on the full moon, Xiaobai directly tied the werewolf so that he couldn't break free, and finally let Severus smoothly pour the new version of wolf's poison potion with unknown effect into his throat .The dose of the new version was not well controlled, Greyback twitched and foamed, and almost burped.Fortunately, he was rescued by Severus again...
"I might go to the maze tonight," Qiubai said.
"Would Voldemort be in the maze?" Severus said.
"Maybe……"
Suddenly a small silver-white beetle flew to Qiubai's shoulder, and Rita's voice came from inside: "Triple Cup! Tri-Power Cup! Fake Moody made it into a portkey!" After finishing speaking, Xiao The beetles turned into dots of light and disappeared.
"Okay, Voldemort won't be in the maze," Qiubai shrugged, "but I have to go with Harry, I don't know where the Portkey will be sent to. Sev..." Qiubai stood from Sif Les was very close, she gently grabbed his arm, "If he calls you, you must remember to inform Dumbledore, I will wait for you there."
Severus felt the Dark Mark ready to move on his arm, and sighed, "Okay..."
The author has something to say:
Rita Skeeter is very helpful hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Sirius: I'm going to visit too, I haven't visited for a long time
Qiubai: You clearly last year...
Sirius (crazy): Can that be called shopping?Can?Can?Can?
Qiubai: Yes, it wasn’t you who went shopping, it was the dog who went shopping...
Sirius is single, when will he be able to have a companion, tsk...
