The Evil God of Hogwarts
Chapter 234 The Eve of the Duel
The amphitheater was filled with colorful flags and banners, and the venue was packed. In addition to students and teachers from various colleges, Principal Dumbledore also made a rare appearance at the venue.
Today the school Quidditch final will be held in the Hogwarts Arena, but most people come here not just to watch the game. Because before that, there was a magic duel.
Private magic duels are prohibited at Hogwarts. This provision is not only for students, but also applies to teachers. Unless the duel is used for teaching demonstrations or applications.
Albert Shafik sat next to Dumbledore. He looked solemnly at the arena. Their seats were at the outermost edge of the arena, and they needed to borrow the eagle eye technique to see clearly what was going on in the arena.
This location was chosen entirely because Dumbledore did not want to be too conspicuous. The legendary wizard was sitting calmly holding a cup of hot cocoa.
Although it is already mid-May, the weather in Scotland is still quite cold, especially today as it is still very cloudy.
"Would you like some, Albert?" Dumbledore raised his own hot cocoa. "If you want, I can ask them to deliver a cup. That stall supports delivery."
"No need." The executive director refused angrily.
"Are you sure?" Dumbledore slurped the straw. "It's very cold today, old man. A little hot drink will make you feel better."
"You know what would make me feel better now, Albus? Just get that kid out of school, and preferably out of wizarding Britain."
"He saved your daughter, old man."
"Saved my daughter? For Merlin's sake. Are you stupid, Albus?" Albert lowered his voice, "He almost let my daughter die in Ravenska Village."
"That's what the newspaper said." Dumbledore didn't know when a copy of the Daily Prophet appeared in his hand, and the headline news on it was still the riots in Ravenska Village.
Although it has been almost five days since this incident, the heat remains unabated. Major newspapers in the wizarding world are digging into the whole thing. As they continue to dig, more and more shocking inside stories begin to emerge.
"He is a big celebrity now." Dumbledore smiled and opened the other side of the newspaper. A whole page was devoted to the heroes who saved Ravenska Village.
Sheikh Mendes, Barty Crouch Sr., Amelia Bones, Scrimgeour, etc. who have been missing for five years, but the most dazzling among them is an Eastern wizard.
This is a rare occurrence, perhaps the first time an Eastern wizard has been reported as a hero in British wizarding circles. Glastonbury's "Times" even called this Oriental the savior of Ravenska village.
Fudge, the Minister of Magic, also publicly stated that he would personally award the Eastern wizard a Medal of Honor. The official statement made this little-known wizard suddenly become a hot new star.
All the major families tried to win over the star, with invitations to balls, salon parties, and even blind dates. What happened in the past five days gave Xing Ze the illusion of being on a roller coaster, and brought about earth-shaking changes to his peaceful life.
And all this was because there was a well-known reporter from the Daily Prophet among the group of wizards that Xing Ze rescued in the tower. Of course, a reporter's report alone is not enough to trigger such a huge response.
Behind all this is the encouragement of all kinds of people, Sheikh Mendes, Barty Sr., Alfred Malfoy, Ellie Shafik, and even the Boy Who Lived Harry Potter.
The joint voice of these people made Xing Ze the focus of public attention overnight, and of course brought him into a more complex political whirlpool.
Looking at today's newspapers, Xing Ze's brows tightened a little more. More and more things about him were exposed by the media. For example, the previous missing Auror investigation case, the winery incident, etc.
He, the teacher at Hogwarts, has become a grassroots hero who fights crime and hates evil.
"Let me see what they praised you for today?" Ben reached for the newspaper and read it carefully, "Wow, Xing Ze, I didn't know you had done so many other things. This is why you are often away from school. Reason, right?"
"The newspapers can't be trusted, Ben. You and I know that all too well."
"Why are you looking so sad, my friend? This is a happy event to be happy about. If this happened to me, I would be crazy with joy.
"But look at you, you've been looking like this since you came back from St. Mungo's Hospital three days ago."
Fame brings many things. But for Xing Ze, time will determine whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
At least now, he has to be busy rejecting the kind invitations from various families every day, which will indirectly offend many people. Not all families are so magnanimous, and some rejected families have made necessary responses.
Obviously, they don't want this popular resource to fall into the hands of enemies, so among the praise, there will always be some slander.
These sounds may seem innocuous at the moment, but Xing Ze knows very well that once he loses value, these sounds will become a noose hanging above his head.
What's more, he doesn't have much energy to deal with these things now. The last piece of the statue hasn't been found yet, which means he hasn't completely won the game with R yet.
Fortunately, he obtained a lot of useful information from the brain of Mr. Mendes, and the last fragment was taken away by Jamie Avery. Of course, he can ask the Ministry of Magic to investigate it. After all, he is now There is absolutely nothing you can do with social fame.
But after careful consideration and following Scrimgeour's advice, he gave up this plan. The Ministry of Magic was obviously not the best choice. This huge organization was infiltrated by various forces. Many times, the secrets in the Ministry of Magic were... joke.
The Key Hall is Xing Ze's second choice, but it cannot be fully used by Xing Ze until the winner of the game is determined.
The Round Table, which can be trusted and used by him, is almost paralyzed. Although Ellie has woken up, she is still trapped in St. Mungo's for treatment, and the same goes for everyone else.
Therefore, in a short period of time, he could only rely on himself. Fortunately, there is no solution to this matter, but it will be a little more difficult.
The cheers outside the stadium became louder and louder, and many people were chanting Barrow Foley's name. This was also the impact of rejecting a large number of families.
These families invested a lot of attention and resources in Barrow Foley, hoping that he could defeat Xing Ze and thus break Xing Ze's heroic image.
Therefore, this seemingly fair duel has become a competition station for the entire British magical family.
Thinking of this, Xing Ze couldn't help laughing in his heart. These wizarding families in Great Britain are always slower in handling affairs, but they are more active and faster than anyone else in politics and pursuit of interests.
Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly votes.
