Chapter 352
Chapter 352
Liu Quan followed Dumbledore, Mrs. Maxime, Headmaster of Beauxbaton, Igor Karkaroff, Headmaster of Durmstrang, Barty Crouch, Professor McGonagall, Mad-Eye Moody, Severer Together with Snape and others, they filed into the room next to the auditorium.
On the downward ladder, the three principals kept breaking out into disputes. The principals of the other two schools obviously thought that Hogwarts was using the right to host this time to deliberately seek improper and illegal interests for themselves. Lied the Goblet of Fire and added an extra warrior to the competition to increase the possibility of winning the championship.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, and it could be seen that she completely trusted Harry's innocence and supported him unconditionally, but even she couldn't explain why this happened.As the most senior official of the Ministry of Magic present, Barty Crouch looked pale and didn't know what he was thinking about.Mad-Eye Moody strode down the stairs, his magic eye twirling and sweeping over Harry.
Snape was walking beside Liu Quan, a little half a step ahead of Liu Quan. When she glanced sideways at his expression, she found that his face was tense, as if he was thinking about all this in his mind. There was a change in people's intentions, and it seemed that they hadn't thought about anything.
Willow Quan had known for a long time that no one here would be able to stop the powerful plot—Harry was going to officially compete as one of the Hogwarts warriors after all—and the only thing that puzzled her was that she couldn't remember the events of the year. Details, at most, I can only remember the content of those three games, and the resurrection of Voldemort at the end of the year.But how he was resurrected, how he was resurrected, and what he did after the resurrection, she couldn't remember a little bit of it.
This frustration probably showed on her face, because Snape glanced at her suddenly and said impatiently, "What? Don't you want to understand how Potter tricked the Goblet of Fire?"
Liu Quan was slightly startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at him.A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Snape's lips, and he quickly walked to stand in front of the fireplace. Beside him were the bewildered Cedric Diggory and Mr. Barty Crouch with a stern expression.
Liu Quan looked at the situation in the room, carefully chose a position next to Professor McGonagall, and then replied: "No, I believe Harry did not deceive the Goblet of Fire."
Snape made an impatient sound of disbelief in the shadows.
"Maybe he just wanted to show off, so he asked his older classmates to help him put his name in the Goblet of Fire."
Harry heard his malicious speculation and exclaimed excitedly, "No!"
"Oh, he must be lying!" exclaimed Madame Maxime, headmaster of Beauxbatons.Snape shook his head, pursing his lips.
"He couldn't have crossed that age line," snapped Professor McGonagall, "Harry couldn't have crossed that line himself, and Harry, as Professor Dumbledore believed, hadn't persuaded the older students to take their place. He did it, and I think other people should believe it too!"
She glared at Professor Snape angrily.
So the adult wizards present had another fierce dispute.Except for the four little wizards, only Liu Quan seemed to stay out of it.She seemed to feel Harry's gaze, and turned her face away, and sure enough, she saw Harry looking at her for help, as if silently begging these people to believe his words.Although she can't prove the child's innocence in public, she can still stand by his side to show support when everyone is arguing.So Liu Quan gave him a friendly smile.Harry's eyes lit up behind the glasses.
In the end, Mr. Barty Crouch decided to abide by the magical contract established by the Goblet of Fire and recognize Harry's eligibility for the competition.This decision made the faces of the principals of the other two schools even worse. Professor McGonagall was full of worry, Snape's brows were furrowed, Moody's face showed a hint of amusement, and Dumbledore's expression It is almost unprecedented severity.
Liu Quan knew this result a long time ago, so she was not surprised by it.But several professors at Hogwarts and headmaster Dumbledore obviously still need some time to digest this sudden incident.They came out of the room next to the auditorium and moved directly to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
Dumbledore did not invite everyone to "try Honeydukes' new sweets" as usual.
He just put his hands on the sides of the Pensieve, letting the silvery water patterns in the basin reflect the drifting water light on his face.
Professor McGonagall said eagerly, "It can't go on like this, Albus. First the Dark Mark, and then this?"
Dumbledore asked calmly, "Minerva, what are you implying?"
Professor McGonagall said briskly, "End it all. Don't let Potter compete!"
Dumbledore replied blankly: "You heard what Barty said, the rules are clear—"
"Go to hell with Barty and his rules!" Professor McGonagall, who has always been gentle, became agitated rarely, and she walked up to Dumbledore a few steps, "When did you start catering to the Ministry of Magic?!"
The accusation is too strong.Liu Quan quietly changed his center of gravity support foot when he was standing a little uneasy.
But Snape's voice sounded immediately, interrupting Professor McGonagall.
"Principal, I think it's hard to believe that it's all a coincidence—" He crossed his hands in front of him, playing with them unnaturally, as if trying to hide something; but he soon He also strode over, stood next to Professor McGonagall, and said in a smooth tone: "However, if we want to unravel the mystery of this series of events, we should perhaps...temporarily—"
He paused suggestively, watching Dumbledore's back.Dumbledore's expression flickered under the light of the Pensieve.
"...Let it go on." He finished the last paragraph word by word, and even his mouth stayed on the last word "Go".
Professor McGonagall immediately became surprised, turned his head to stare at him, and asked, "What?! Standing by and doing nothing? Use him as bait?"
Snape didn't move or respond.The same goes for Mad-Eye Moody on the side.Liu Quan noticed that his whole body was hidden in the shadow, leaning on the crutch, but paying attention to all the movements on the side of the Pensieve.
Professor McGonagall became even angrier when she saw that no one in the room responded to her. "I mean, Potter is a child, not a piece of meat!"
Dumbledore stared at the Pensieve, and after a moment of silence he said, "I agree with Severus."
Professor McGonagall seemed in disbelief, too surprised to know what to say.She seemed to be trying to convince her adventurous colleagues, so she turned to Liu Quan who remained silent, "Lily, don't you think so?"
Liu Quan sighed.
"Minerva, this is not something we can change just because we think so..." She tried to convince Professor McGonagall without disturbing the "inertia of the plot" and the fake Moody who was staring at him, "We all believe that Harry didn't do this, so who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire? What's his purpose? Why did Harry have to participate in the Triwizard Tournament? Is there a mastermind behind him? … There are no answers to all these questions. We have to figure out what's going on..."
"We have so many adult wizards here, but in order to find out what's going on, we have to push a child to endure those dangers?!" Professor McGonagall asked sharply, which made Liu Quan feel a little bit ashamed.Her concern for Harry was truly unmatched by anyone else—it was a real elder's concern for a child, without any conditions or restrictions, and without any impurities.
Liuquan lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze, and whispered, "We have no choice...Harry will be fine, Minerva. As you said, we have so many adult wizards here, we don't want to Maybe something happened to him..."
Even she herself felt that her words were very pale, but Dumbledore seemed very satisfied. He nodded in the direction of Liu Quan, and finally spoke, but to Mad-Eye Moody beside him.
"Alastor, can you help look after Harry?"
Moody finally removed his hands from the cane and limped over with the cane in hand. "Of course." He replied bluntly.
"...but don't let him know," Dumbledore added immediately. "He must be very nervous about the ordeal ahead. And so are we—"
He used his magic wand to pull out a bunch of silver-white memory filaments from his mind, and with a flick of the tip of the wand, he shook the bunch of memories into the Pensieve.The scene of getting the parchment with Harry's name from the Goblet of Fire resurfaced in the stone basin engraved with runes all around.
After everyone retreated, he stopped Liu Quan who was walking at the end.
"Lily, my dear child, would you like to stay a little longer and accompany me to taste the new candy from Honeydukes?"
Snape, who was walking in front of Willow Springs, paused, turned around and quickly glanced at Dumbledore and Willow Springs.But he didn't say anything, and walked down the spiral staircase outside the door.
"Oh, Severus seems to want to try these candies too." Dumbledore waved his wand, and a large tray full of all kinds of candies suddenly appeared in front of Liu Quan.
Liu Quan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that the old wizard must have mentioned Snape on purpose—sweet food is probably what Snape hates the most? ——But Liu Quan has never been able to do anything about his bad taste, so she can only pretend that she didn't hear him, and while sitting in the chair in front of the desk, she casually grabbed a piece of hard pear candy from the plate.
"I've eaten too many sweets from you lately, and I think I'll have to get some potions for cleaning or protecting my teeth if this continues - Honeydukes' latest new products are always so sweet that my teeth hurt. " she replied as she peeled off the wrapper of hard pear candy.
Dumbledore, evidently satisfied with a sweet start to tonight's private conversation after all the surprises, disbeliefs, arguments, and unpleasantness of the night, put the Pensieve back in the cupboard, turned, Back at his desk, his blue eyes gleamed happily behind half-moon glasses.
"I guess you also had a toothache when you talked with Alastor last night?" He looked at Liu Quan with interest, "This may explain why Alastor didn't feel very well all day after talking with you. joy……"
Liu Quan replied in a rigid tone: "I just reminded him not to deliberately scare those poor children. Trying to let these children experience the Imperius Curse in class is not a good or pleasant experience."
Dumbledore's eyebrows were raised high in surprise for a moment, and then he quickly concealed his surprise and said with a chuckle: "You know, Alastor has never been a kind person-he probably just Anxious to let these children know what dark arts are and how to resist them. And… speaking of intentionally scaring those children," he winked at Willow, "Severus is good at that too—"
"Well, so you think that at Hogwarts, one person is not enough to scare them, so you get another one?" Liu Quan couldn't help but sarcasm that this is always unpredictable. What was he really thinking? Some old headmaster. "Besides, Severus wouldn't use the Unforgivable Curse on these children."
Dumbledore looked at her through the glasses, as if to say "Oh Lily I knew you'd defend Severus".
Liu Quan swallowed the hard pear candy in one gulp as if discouraged.
The author has something to say:
February 8:
Let's run through the plot for a while.
Because the world view of this work is to maintain the original plot to achieve world balance, so there will be more brain holes and stalks related to the plot, and the creation that is purely divorced from the original plot will not be so hot. I hope everyone will bear with me.Of course, basically speaking, the comeback chapter will be a brand new content.What can be revealed now is that Wang Wang’s comeback chapter is a completely new idea, and K’s comeback chapter will be recreated based on a certain detail of the original work.If there is a comeback chapter for Hakuouki, it will be a new idea.Well, just sauce~~
Finally, I would like to thank the little angels for their support~~ I will be in the UK for the whole week next Monday, maybe sometimes I don’t have time to check the update repeatedly to catch bugs, please forgive me [Doxiaza]
