Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse - Chapter 385

c376 The whole story

“I know that what happened today may be a little too bizarre for you.”

None of the four referees showed any surprise at the arrival of these uninvited guests. Even Karkaroff seemed to smile: “Whether it is Mr. Ludo Bagman’s betrayal or Dumbledore disguised as Grindelwald. Professor, the dark wizards who appeared before, Voldemort, or the guests who have arrived now… Yes, today will be an extremely extraordinary day in every sense.”

“And what I mean by extraordinary is far more than just the end of the Triwizard Tournament, or the arrest of Voldemort’s remnants – I mean something that can truly be called epoch-making, with an impact no less than that of the magic wand. Something that was invented or the “Act of Secrecy” was signed. And we, everyone here, and everyone at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons who are watching remotely… We are all the luckiest people to be able to witness this moment with our own eyes. happened. And everything that happened before was just a prelude to this incident…”

“As influential as the Secrecy Act?!”

Everyone was taken aback by Karkaroff’s exaggerated remarks – the invention of the wand was naturally the most important event in the history of magic, and the signing of the “Act of Secrecy” also truly changed the world that year. The lifestyle of all wizards in the world has had a fundamental impact on social changes and the development of magic in later generations!

Although whether this influence is good or bad is still controversial, it cannot change the fact that “signing the law of confidentiality” itself has become one of the most important milestones in the history of magic!

An event with an impact comparable to these two things suddenly happened in front of him without any warning? ?

“…What else can happen? Aren’t all those dark wizards arrested?”

The students looked left and right one by one and looked at the classmates around them, but they all saw the same confusion in each other’s eyes: “Voldemort’s organization is completely destroyed? This is indeed important today, but it is completely impossible to follow it. Compared with the Secrecy Law…or is it that the Ministry of Magic is going to introduce some subversive law? Or the three magic schools are going to jointly release some epoch-making academic results?”

“Or… maybe it has something to do with that university that suddenly appeared??”

“So,”

After the buzzing chatter in the crowd gradually calmed down, Karkaroff continued proudly: “Let’s invite the principal of Hogwarts and an important participant in this incident, Albus. ·Professor Dumbledore, come and explain to everyone the ins and outs of all this.”

As he spoke, he patted Dumbledore’s shoulder and sat down. Dumbledore stood up after that, pointed his wand at his throat with a serious face, and spread his voice throughout the audience:

“If I want to explain everything clearly, I may need to ask Beauxbatons and everyone at Durmstrang to learn about a few things that happened in the UK, and these things are the source of all the changes that happened today… …”

“Voldemort – I think many people should have heard of this name and know what he has done, so I will give a rough description – he was defeated once thirteen years ago, and that time His failure should have caused him to die directly, but due to some ancient and evil black magic, his soul has separated from his body and remained in the world, and he has been looking for a way to resurrect…”

Dumbledore spent a few minutes, quickly and clearly going from Voldemort’s situation after his death, to Voldemort being lured by the Sorcerer’s Stone three years ago and being completely sealed, to his men taking “a possession” two years ago. “Dark Magic Item of Consciousness” sent to Hogwarts. The causes and consequences that led to the opening of the secret room were completely and quickly sorted out.

“After that, those guys who harmed the entire magical society for their own selfish interests under the banner of pure-blood glory temporarily fell into silence, but there are rumors that they were not idle during the so-called ‘silence’, such as The werewolf attack that shocked Britain last year was suspected to have been promoted by them…and their apparent silence ended in early last year, which was when the plan for this Triwizard Tournament was born.”

Dumbledore paused, seemed to organize his thoughts, and then continued: “At that time, they had fully realized that it was almost impossible for them to achieve their goals without Voldemort as their backer, and the entire magic The society’s firm opposition and my small personal contribution also put them under tremendous pressure at all times… In order to solve the problem at hand, they came up with a plan.”

“In this ridiculous plan, they intend to achieve two goals at the same time – one is to find their backer, which is to completely resurrect Voldemort, and the other is to remove what they think is their biggest stumbling block, which is me.” said To be honest, this is also one of the manifestations of short-sightedness. If they can think a little more profoundly, it will not be difficult for them to find that among all the forces that hinder them, the one from Albus Dumbledore is only the most insignificant one. a little bit……”

After habitually humbling himself, Dumbledore continued: “But since Voldemort’s soul has been taken care of by me, resurrecting him and killing me are almost the same thing… So, in order to deal with it, I, they plan to ask my old rival, Gellert Grindelwald, to come back and cooperate with their trap to completely eliminate me.”

‘A pure-blood family would actually ask Grindelwald to deal with Dumbledore? ’

Avada, standing behind Dumbledore, raised her eyebrows: ‘Don’t they know what the relationship between them is? ’

‘Besides, thanks to Lucius, don’t they still think I’m someone from Grindelwald? They knew that I was still studying under Dumbledore and even cooperated with him. How dare they just ask Grindelwald to come out? ? ’

‘There must be something else going on…’

“Fortunately, one of my spies lurking among them discovered their conspiracy in time. So I took advantage of the difficulty in finding the location of Nurmengard Prison, successfully built a fake Nurmengard, and guided Then they sneaked in there and reached an agreement with the fake Grindelwald I arranged – the next step is how to lead me into the trap.”

“It just so happened that the restart plan for the Triwizard Tournament had been almost discussed at that time, so they used their influence to move forward and set the tournament for this year, and at the same time seduced Ludo… Bagman, got him to agree to play the victim in the first project—and then took the opportunity to have their people replace Mr. Bagman with Polyjuice Potion and plant one next to me. piece.”

“Yes, the betrayed Bagman was an impostor, and the real Mr. Bagman has now been rescued and is still resting due to health reasons. It is estimated that you will be able to see news about him in the newspapers in the next few days. …In addition to him, Professor Karkaroff has also become one of their development targets.”

“Everyone should have heard that there have been some bad rumors about Professor Karkaroff, slandering him as a former servant of Voldemort – it is precisely because of this that some of the Death Eaters believed it to be true. , and had the idea of ​​recruiting him. Karkaroff also pretended to agree to the recruitment, and secretly cooperated with me, Mrs. Maxim and Mr. Crouch, and finally used a false victory to lure them out and catch them all… That’s what happened today.”

‘…Is this to completely clear Karkaroff’s name? ’

Avada was stunned for a moment: ‘What is this? Is it one of the conditions for their cooperation? And although this rhetoric can barely stand up to scrutiny, there are still too many unclear things in terms of details, and I don’t know how many things are hidden and not revealed…’

“Okay, that’s it for today.”

Suddenly, Dumbledore changed his previous serious expression and clapped his hands happily: “Then, please allow me to briefly introduce the matter that is about to change the entire magical society…”

“The world’s first wizarding university, Nobic Ridge University, will open admissions to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang today.”
