Chapter 44
Chapter 44
The circle is surrounded by a triangle, and in the middle of the triangle is a skull with a letter in the shape of a snake.Maybe some people didn't recognize what the whole thing was, but the appearance of the Dark Mark was enough to make them flee, and the sound of Apparition sounded in patches.
Draco knew what it was, the symbol of Grindelwald's Deathly Hallows + the Dark Mark, but he didn't understand what these two people were doing. What a joke.
There was just such a mark floating quietly in the sky. No one could eliminate it, and no one could ignore its existence. It looked very strange under the dark night sky. The staff of the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors all rushed to the scene. Unfortunately, What's more, it's impossible to check one by one. At this moment, the people watching the game have already left, which has brought a lot of pressure to the follow-up investigation.
Of course, Draco and the others were no exception. They packed up the tent and left first. Draco didn’t think those people from the Ministry of Magic could find any clues. A rational inquiry.
But then nothing happened, no Death Eaters, no Dark Lord appeared, it seemed like it was just a prank, but it symbolized more than just a prank.This incident slaughtered the entire Prophet Daily for the entire following summer vacation, and the Ministry of Magic was strongly questioned by people, but the calm of the entire magic world still made some people lucky.
And amid all the hustle and bustle of the summer, a new school year had begun, and Draco had to go back to Durmstrang and then travel from Durmstrang to Hogwarts for the competition.At this point Tom is still keeping his word, only those who participate in the competition will be able to travel to the UK.
When Draco came to Hogwarts again, he had to say that he still had some kindness in his heart. I don’t know if Tom, the leader of the team, felt this way. At this moment, Tom was leisurely standing slightly behind the four of them. From his position, he watched Karkaroff bustling around, saying hello to various headmasters and officials from the Ministry of Magic.
Draco couldn't help but deeply suspect that this was the reason why Tom would keep Karkaroff, a sycophant, there must always be such a timid and capable person to handle some chores.
And as they walked towards Hogwarts Castle, I don’t know if Dumbledore recalled anything when he saw Tom’s face. At least there was no other extra expression on his face except welcome. Much the same, but Draco believed Dumbledore would not be unaware.
When choosing a position, Draco of course chose Slytherin without hesitation, and his attempts to stop his little friend Alec from moving towards Ravenclaw were unsuccessful.This is good, Draco is helpless, Durmstrang's pair of partners parted ways before the game started, and he believed that Rita Skeeter would like this title very much.
Jonas and Andri apparently had acquaintances at Hogwarts, one went to Hufflepuff and the other came to Slytherin like Draco, but they still sat separately, sitting with the four of Beauxbatons. In Ravenclaw the contrast is stark.Draco only recognized Fleur, and paid no attention to the others, but the male to female ratio of Beauxbaton's contestants was very balanced, two males and two females, unlike Durmstrang, a group of men.
"So who are the Hogwarts contestants? How did you choose them?" Draco couldn't help asking Blaise curiously. He actually forgot such an important question last time. I don't know if it will be the same. What about direct pk?
Blaise blinked slyly, "Who will be kept secret first, but the selection method can be disclosed. Each college chooses one and votes by name. If you don't want to, the next one will be the top."
This method is really Dumbledore, there is no fighting, no scheming, it is a candidate chosen by love, Draco looked up at Dumbledore who was talking about some opening remarks, his face still looked so kind and wise, in fact Since he knew about Ariana, Draco didn't think he was so hypocritical as before.
The next step is for Barty Crouch to announce the candidates for each school. Beauxbaton and Durmstrang will not mention it. One Draco already knows, and the other doesn't care at all, if it is not because it is France The only school of magic, Draco does not think it is eligible to be selected into the top three in Europe.
The Hogwarts choice really surprised Draco and made him laugh - inwardly, of course.Of course Slytherin is Blaise. Since Draco went to Durmstrang, he is the most popular in Slytherin. Ravenclaw is Hermione Granger. Does Lick still remember that they are opponents, they are applauding vigorously now, looking at him, he can't wait to hand over the championship to his goddess, Hufflepuff's is Cedric, and Gryffindor's is the savior up.
After counting them one by one, Draco found something wrong. He hadn't seen Little Tom since he came to Hogwarts, and he hadn't seen him when he was watching the Quidditch World Cup.This was odd, and Draco, while applauding perfunctorily, decided to ask Blaise what was going on tonight.
It wasn't that Draco was amused by such personal choices, what really surprised him was the way Hogwarts was grouped, Blaise and Potter, Granger and Cedric.I don't know how such a clean team formation method was formed, Slytherin and Gryffindor, are you sure they won't kill each other in the first level and drag each other down?
And without Granger's savior... Blaise seemed to see what Draco was thinking, and said helplessly, "This was arranged by Dumbledore, and don't underestimate the current savior." It is admitted that the Potter family, as a pure-blood family with a long history, is also very talented in magic power, especially the savior is no longer influenced by others, and after concentrating on studying, he has indeed improved a lot.To be honest, in the third year, he was as hardworking as Granger. Usually, the two of them would spend time in the library together, but it seemed that the relationship between the two of them in the trio was closer.
Draco has not yet thought of Dumbledore's intention for such an arrangement. Anyway, the original intention is definitely not to let the two houses fight each other. Could it be to ease the relationship between Slytherin and Gryffindor?This horrifying thought suddenly popped up in Draco's mind, and there really is no other explanation besides this.
This dinner was spent between the two of them communicating from time to time and Draco was thinking. After announcing the list, all he emphasized was not to intentionally hurt his classmates, and to maintain the friendship between the three major schools. Anyone knows this but No one will obey when necessary.
What Draco didn't expect was that Alec actually stopped himself when he was about to go to the Slytherin lounge after the dinner and asked where to sleep at night?
"I thought you had successfully broken into Ravenclaw?" Draco couldn't help but stab him, this guy who forgets his teammates when he sees sex (in fact, you are too).
"So I can live in Ravenclaw? I don't need to live in that black ship." Alec was inexplicably surprised.
Draco turned his head and dragged Blaise away, talking to you expecting to remember that we are Durmstrang's teammates. It's my fault.
The chief lounge of Slytherin still had the original layout, but it was much larger than before. It seemed that Blaise had already won ahead of schedule and became the chief of the house. Draco was not surprised at all.
Sitting back on the comfortable sofa, Draco asked, "Tom has been missing for a long time?" There was no sign of him on the long table in Slytherin, and there was no dormitory for him along the way just now, let Draco do it. Such a judgment was made.
"It was probably at the end of last semester, but it wasn't missing. He left and left a note." Blaise took a sip of water, "It's his own handwriting that's right."
Draco's brain was running fast, and combined with Tom's inadvertently confident words, he couldn't help suspecting that Tom had successfully merged his soul. Combining the time when little Tom disappeared and the events of the summer vacation, Tom might have become a complete The soul is gone, just don't know if Nagini has been merged.
Not knowing what the teacher and junior were up to, Draco felt that it was necessary for him to take time to visit the teacher. He didn't expect to ask anything from Tom.
But no matter how hard it is, it's Tom's own business. Although he felt a little sad for the disappearance of little Tom, Draco quickly let go of this emotion and focused on what to say next. thing.
Cheating is supposed to be one of the traditions of the Tournament, and it is not impossible to disclose some content appropriately. Draco is going to discuss the content of the Tournament with Blaise, and then go to bed. It is very necessary to maintain a sufficient sleep of.
