The Bard at Hogwarts

The eighth floor of the castle, the principal's office.

"Albus! What should I do... I took her and her parents to Diagon Alley, and I watched her buy the wand..."

"Now, I have to tell her parents that their daughter died in Hogwarts..."

Unlike the previous forced support, Professor McGonagall couldn't stop crying after entering the office.

It was she who led Hermione into the magical world. The little brown-haired girl smiled and showed two rabbit-like front teeth.

The innocent smile in her mind overlapped with the cold expression lying in the school hospital...

"Albus..." Professor McGonagall burst into tears.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke on the mural in the principal's office:

"Dumbledore, there are guests outside, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, do you want to open the door?"

Hearing that there were foreign guests, Professor McGonagall wiped away her tears instantly.

...

At the same time

In the corridor on the eighth floor, Karkaroff asked incredulously: "As long as the three principals agree, can it really be cancelled?"

"I've already said it! The Goblet of Fire is just an alchemical item, and no school can surpass Beauxbatons in terms of the storage of alchemical knowledge."

Madame Maxime said firmly.

She didn't plan to participate in the Goblet of Fire. Hogwarts and even the whole of England made her feel unsafe.

Compared to the so-called glory, she cared more about the lives of her students. She wanted to take her students back to Beauxbatons. Before that, the first thing to do was to extinguish the Goblet of Fire and terminate the contract between it and the warrior.

I thought it would take some time, but who would have thought that Karkaroff's reaction was even more positive than hers.

It seemed that he had wanted to end and leave a long time ago, and even had the urgency to escape.

...

While the two foreign principals were discussing,

the independent ward on the second floor of the castle was silent.

In the room of less than ten square meters, the original bed had long disappeared, replaced by a blue ice crystal coffin.

Hermione lay inside, her face ruddy as if she was asleep.

But in fact, Ino knew very well that this was just a continuous healing spell, which brought a short-lived vitality like rootless duckweed.

Sitting next to the coffin, he felt a kind of sadness from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps he should not have intervened in other people's stories from the beginning.

At the beginning, he should have been forced to sort into Hufflepuff and become a real audience. Stay in the castle for five years, and then transfer to Beauxbatons, and everything will be fine...

But in a blink of an eye, he thought of the ending of the story again... It seems that this castle is no longer a fairy tale after the first year.

Sitting next to the coffin, Ino regretted a little, but he was not desperate. At present, there are two known ways to resurrect, one is ice flowers, and the other is the resurrection magic of the tower in the story of the Grimm brothers.

This is also the reason why he froze the body in the first place.

But no matter which one, there is an unavoidable disadvantage, that is, being controlled by the mechanism of the shelter, so that everyone will prosper and suffer together.

"Tell me what happened..." A calm voice sounded in the room.

Unlike other professors who left, Snape stayed in the room from beginning to end, but after handing out the potion, he remained quiet for several hours.

At this moment, the sudden opening also surprised Ino.

He knew that Snape was not a talkative person, and he must have thought of something to ask like this.

...

The sun disappears and the moon appears.

The setting sun sinks into the west, and the moon casts silver light. Day and night complete the alternation at this moment.

In the ward, after listening to all the stories, Snape fell into silence and sat there quietly.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it seemed like a moment.

Suddenly, Snape stood up and walked out of the ward without saying a word.

Ino didn't care about Snape's departure. Although he was reminded, he also felt that this raid was a bit strange.

But no matter what, the current task is to complete the resurrection ceremony perfectly. As for the future, we can settle the accounts slowly.

...

With Snape's departure, Ino was the only one left in the ward.

In contrast, the principal's office was full of people.

There were not only two foreign principals, but also Fudge and Bagman from the Department of Magical Sports and Physical Education.

Fudge was here to deal with the death of a student in the castle, while Bagman was here to deal with the extinguishing of the Goblet of Fire on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.

"Someone needs to be responsible for this!" Upon learning of the death of a student, Fudge rushed to express his attitude as soon as possible.

"The murderer is Vincent Crabbe, a fourth-year student, but when we went there, he was already dead..." Professor McGonagall took over the conversation.

"Really? Then how do you think we should solve it?" Fudge asked tentatively, like a student.

Before coming to Hogwarts, he had already learned about some of the events through channels.

The more this happened, the more reluctant he was to participate, but when such a thing happened, the Ministry of Magic could not stay out of it.

The best way is to hand over the power to Hogwarts. He, as the minister, is just forced to be the executor. No matter whether the two sides win or lose, he will have room for easing.

But obviously, Professor McGonagall did not understand this. After being asked about the execution method, she also stated her position:

"Brack used the Imperius Curse and the Killing Curse. Someone must have taught him these two magics. This cannot be ignored. As for Ino..."

At this point, Professor McGonagall sighed softly.

"...As for Ino, I leave it to you. I believe the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot will give him a fair trial."

"Don't!" Fudge interrupted decisively: "Mr. Swinburne is still a student, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the Wizengamot, we must consider Hogwarts' suggestions..."

While Fudge was discussing with Professor McGonagall, Bagman also represented the Ministry of Magic in England and agreed to the request of the two foreign principals to cancel the Triwizard Tournament and extinguish the Goblet of Fire.

As the real person in charge, Dumbledore did not speak from the beginning to the end. He sat quietly in front of his office, looking at a portrait in a daze.

…

When the sun disappears and the moon appears, it is the beginning of night; when the sun rises and the moon disappears, it is the prelude to day.

Time passed quietly, and when the castle experienced the alternation of the sun and the moon again, it also announced the arrival of a new day.

The first ray of dawn shone on the tallest astronomy tower in Hogwarts, and in a strange wave of magic, the entire castle seemed to come alive.

In the school hospital on the second floor, after sitting quietly all night, Ino quietly opened his eyes.

A silver ghost appeared before his eyes.

This ghost seems to be very naughty, always flying around in the ward, sometimes looking at the ice crystal coffin, and sometimes looking at the hyacinths blooming on the windowsill.

"Hermione!"

Ino spoke softly, and the ghost in front of him was Hermione who died yesterday.

Tomorrow, enter the world of Mr. Hans and complete the resurrection of Hermione in Andersen's fairy tale.

Finally...it's the end of the month! Xiaodi asks for votes, asks for votes, asks for votes.
