The Death Knell

In fact, it was not only Hermione who gave Harry hints, but Hagrid also gave some hints as a gamekeeper.

Although he did not directly take Harry to see dragons like in the original book, because Harry in this world does not have an invisibility cloak, he gave the boy a thick book titled "The Encyclopedia of Dragons".

If he couldn't tell even with such a hint, there was no need for Harry to live. He quickly realized what the events of the first game were and started to prepare.

It was impossible to defeat Long head-on. He knew his own strengths, so he could only use some props...

Fortunately, there are still three brothers who clean the toilet. They should be able to do something.

These guys actually wanted to drug themselves, but luckily they were caught by the professor, because they didn't care about it, and now they owe themselves a big favor.

On the day of the competition, the event was indeed the dragon. In the giant venue with fluttering colorful flags, Mr. Crouch and Professor McGonagall acted as the commentators for the competition. The contestants needed to pull off the dragon's reverse scales because there was a second one on it. Project tips.

Even though he was well prepared, Harry still sighed when he heard that he had to pull out the dragon's reverse scale. For some reason, he felt that stealing the dragon egg might be easier than this.

As the hosts, the students of Hogwarts were very graceful and were the last to appear. However, among the students from other schools before Harry, only a few could pass the first level. Many were directly injured or abstained. , got zero points.

Hermione was the first person to enter on behalf of Hogwarts. It took 0.3 seconds to complete the task. She only fired with a rifle in her right hand. The golden bullet shot away the reverse scale, and the wand in her left hand flew out almost at the same time. The silent summoning spell put her firmly in first place.

The principals of each school smiled and nodded at her from the high platform, and the students cheered for her. She just smiled reservedly in response, then blinded the eyes of the furious fire dragon with a flash bomb, and left the venue with a smile.

Harry's method was to use a broomstick and a lot of Weasley brothers' fireworks. It took more than ten minutes of fighting before he succeeded, and his palms were still bloody from being cut by sharp scales.

But the audience liked his performance very much because the fireworks were beautiful, and they gave him a warm applause.

After the game, he entered the player resting tent. An expressionless Snape appeared out of nowhere, handed him a bottle of 'restoration potion', and seemed to squeeze out a few vicious words from between his teeth.

"Well done, Harry."

"Thanks, F..."

The boy was about to answer something with a smile, but Snape covered his mouth and dragged him into the empty locker room. He said with a serious expression: "You are not allowed to yell like that! You can't even think about it! Do you understand? I'm in school. In the meantime, call me professor!”

Harry, whose mouth was covered, could only nod, feeling a little helpless.

As expected, Snape was asked by the principal and others not to recognize each other. Although I don't know why, let's leave it that way for the time being.

"Go ahead, it's time for the judges to give their scores. Go back and study the next project carefully. I'll give you a hint, Long Yan."

After saying that, the professor let go of Harry's mouth, pushed him from behind, and drove him out of the tent.

When Harry looked back, Professor Snape was still standing there. The boy nodded excitedly. He was determined to get a good result and use it to bring glory to his father.

Shortly after the boy left, two figures appeared behind Snape. One seemed to have walked out of the darkness, and the other had returned to normal from transparency.

"Ah, my school days were really unforgettable. It's a pity that I didn't even finish school. The principal of Durmstrang at the time expelled me. He was a fool."

Grindelwald smiled and commented on his past principal, with a somewhat nostalgic tone.

Snape pursed his lips. He closed the tent curtain and cast the soundproofing spell at the same time: "Isn't it bad that I pretend to be Harry's father? We are manipulating his memory. There is nothing more evil than this. ”

"Then the question is, isn't my stepfather a father?" Su Ming smiled and patted Snape on the shoulder, stuffed a cigarette point into his mouth and said, "Severus, we have discussed this matter. . When Lily is resurrected, I will bring a pensieve, and the old man will screen and modify her memory so that she only remembers Harry and you, whom she loves most. Dealing with Harry is an indispensable step. You must have a happy life in the future. Family harmony, right? This way you can better continue to serve me..."

"...I know, but is it really right to do this?"

Snape was silent for a while. Planning and actually doing this were completely different things.

Looking into Harry's eyes, as if he were seeing Lily's, Snape felt that he was lying to her, and his heart ached.

"Are you a child?" Grindelwald slapped himself on the forehead, and the middle-aged man with an evil look scolded angrily: "Only children can distinguish right from wrong. Adults only talk about pros and cons. I'm here I see nothing in this plan that is detrimental to you or Harry, let alone Lily Evans being brought back to life!"

This is the fact. If Su Ming's plan succeeds, it will be a win-win situation for all parties.

Harry regained the love of his parents and family, Snape found his lover and had an obedient son, Lily regained her life without doing anything, Lao Deng found his sister and was able to reconcile with his lover, Xiao Sirius found his sister-in-law.

Su Ming will gain a stable supply channel for potions in the future. Grindelwald can win favor with Lao Deng by doing good deeds. Hermione can learn the true meaning of unscrupulous means from this incident, and the Ministry of Magic will get away with it for nothing. victory.

If this isn’t called win-win, what is it called? After all, the only one who paid the price was the dead James Potter.

But isn’t it normal for the dead to take the blame?

In order to compensate for his loss, it would be better to hire a professional team from Ghana to move his grave.

Does that make it even? This is a fair deal.

Anyway, all the corpses in the wizard cemetery in Godric's Hollow have long been dug up by the old man. James' withered bones are still somewhere in the basement of Wilson's Wand Shop. Su Ming asked about his skeleton, but the skeleton did not shake his head in refusal. It means that it should be agreed.

"Don't be anxious, old man." Su Ming waved his hand towards Grindelwald to signal him to calm down, but he said devilish words: "If Snape still can't pass the test in his heart, I have a backup plan."

"Oh?" Grindelwald blinked.

"I'll knock him out and hand it over to you. I think it's not difficult to break through the Occlumency of a comatose person with your ability. Then we modify Severus' memory so that he thinks he is Lily's." Husband, Harry’s father, isn’t that settled?”

"Haha! You still have a way, you are such a clever little guy." Grindelwald took out his wand, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and a terrifying atmosphere enveloped the dark tent space: "Then, West Fleurs, which one do you choose? We are all doing this for your own good, and this is for the greater good..."

Snape gave up the struggle as expected. He finally saw that these two people were demon kings, and things would only proceed as they arranged.

And there seemed to be another voice in his heart telling him that pretending to be Harry's father might be the best future.

So delicious!

He sighed and draped his hair over his shoulders: "I promised you that I would cooperate and not cast spells on our allies."

Su Ming took out two cigarettes and lit them with Grindelwald. Grindelwald, who looked middle-aged but was actually an old man, also put away his wand and aura.

The two looked at each other, laughed, and said the same words to Snape almost at the same time.

"That's right!"
