Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Chapter 401 News of the Triwizard Tournament

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Dad." Percy said perfunctoryly. He obviously didn't agree with his father's point of view. "You know, it is easy for our department to achieve results this year. In addition to the World Cup, there is also an amazing event.

large-scale events..."

As he spoke, he cast a mysterious look at Harry, Hermione and others, and raised his voice deliberately, as if to arouse their curiosity.

"You know what activity I'm talking about, Dad." He said proudly, "This is top secret!"

Ron rolled his eyes and complained in a low voice: "Ever since he started working, he has been trying to tease us and ask him what kind of event it is. It's probably a thick-bottomed crucible exhibition."

"You really blamed him wrongly, Ron." Glenn shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Percy didn't lie to you. It was indeed an amazing large-scale event."

Judging from the current intelligence level of Carmichael's second-hand store, the Triwizard Tournament is no longer a secret. Even a new employee like Percy knows something, how can he hide it from Carmichael?

Mr. Er is a person who deals with all kinds of intelligence every day.

In addition, Voldemort at this time may have already received the news. Affected by the butterfly effect, compared with the original work, although Wormtail is no longer around him now, he has gathered more returning Death Eaters.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to blatantly break into the Department of Mysteries and plan a time-turner a year ago.

In other words, although nothing happened to Bertha Jorkins, Voldemort still probably knew the plans for the Triwizard Tournament in advance.

"What activity?" Harry couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, putting down his fork.

Glenn smiled at him and said: "The Triwizard Tournament."

"This is impossible!" Ron exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.

Fred looked at him with a smile and asked: "What surprised our dear brother so much? Why don't we also hear it?"

"Glenn said that there is going to be some kind of... Triwizard Tournament... this year..." Harry explained with some confusion.

The twins immediately perked up, leaned over and asked, "Are you serious, Glenn?"

Glenn glanced at him with a smile and pursed his lips in Percy's direction: "If you don't believe it, you can check with Percy."

"Hey, Percy!" George interrupted Percy's spiel about the Crucible Report without hesitation and asked, "That large-scale event you've been mentioning in a roundabout way these past few days could be the Triwizard Tournament, right?

"

"How is it possible, of course not -"

Halfway through Percy's subconscious ridicule, he was immediately interrupted by himself.

"How do you know? This is top secret information and will not be announced until the Ministry of Magic deems it appropriate!"

The trio and the twins all looked at Glenn.

Glenn shrugged and explained: "Actually, this matter may not be that top secret. At least half of the shopkeepers in Diagon Alley already know..."

What he said was half-truth and half-false. Other shop owners were not sure, but except for Mr. Carmichael of the second-hand shop, at least old Ollivander had already received the news.

After all, as the most famous wand manufacturer in the UK, he would personally come to Hogwarts to help players check the status of their wands, so it would be reasonable to receive advance notice.

After listening to Glenn's explanation, Percy was immediately discouraged and his mood was obviously much lower.

As a young man who had just entered the workplace and wanted to climb up the ladder, he always believed that being able to master such confidential information meant that his superiors recognized him. After all, the reason why secrets are called secrets is because of those who know them.

It's only a small part, which means that only people with important positions are qualified to know.

But according to Glenn, this so-called confidential information has long been known to everyone, which means that his position in the ministry is not as important as imagined.

No one paid attention to Percy who was depressed, and everyone began to discuss the Triwizard Tournament animatedly, especially Fred and George who were the most excited.

Not only because of their love for adventure, but also because of the high bonus of 1,000 Galleons for the champion.

If this money can be obtained, their long-awaited Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes will soon be built.

"Okay, go back to bed quickly. You underage wizards have to take the portkey to the venue, so you need to get up very early and go out!"

The moon climbed higher and higher, and seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Weasley stood up and drove them back to rest.

Glenn, Harry and Ron all got into the tent borrowed by Mr. Weasley. It was the first time for Harry to see a magic tent using the Invisible Stretch Charm, and he was amazed for a moment.

"I love magic..." He stood in the entrance hall of the tent and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had to get up early the next day, Glenn still asked Harry about the dream mentioned in his previous letter.

"It was in an old house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. I saw Voldemort kill an old Muggle man with a curse." Harry said simply.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Glenn asked again, "For example, how did you witness this process? Is there anyone else around Voldemort?"

Harry frowned and recalled for a while, and described in detail: "As before, according to you, I should have experienced it from Voldemort's perspective. There were two people beside him. One of them was tall and fierce-looking.

Baba, dressed very delicately; the other one, about thirty years old, with pale skin, seems to have some freckles, and light yellow hair..."

When he mentioned the first person, Glenn was still a little confused and couldn't figure out who he was talking about. But the second person was obvious——

Barty Crouch Jr.

Facts have proved that although Glenn and Mr. Carmichael tried to seal the secret of little Crouch, the matter eventually reached the ears of Voldemort and successfully took him out of Crouch Manor.

At this point in time, it had not even reached the time when Crouch Jr. summoned the Dark Mark at the World Cup. This shows that Voldemort's intelligence capabilities at this time are not simple.

As for the other one, it's hard to guess. Harry's description was too general, and Voldemort couldn't find the most trustworthy and loyal followers around him at this time.

Bellatrix is ​​still in Azkaban, and Lucius Malfoy has completely lost his status, so this person's identity is not within the scope of Glenn's familiarity.

"Do you remember what they mentioned specifically, Harry?" Glenn continued.

"Yes..." Harry pursed his lips and nodded.
