Chapter 329 Checking the Hole Cards

Time goes back to the morning of June 25, the day after the Goblet of Fire.

In the corridors and corners of Hogwarts, students can be seen in groups of three or five, still discussing the topic of the Goblet of Fire with great interest.

At breakfast time, in the Hogwarts Great Hall, Dumbledore spoke a few words to all the teachers and students in the school. He just asked everyone not to disturb Harry, not to ask him questions, or to pester him to tell what happened in the maze that day.

However, many sharp-eyed students have noticed that two people are missing from the faculty seats - one is Alastor Moody, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the other is Ludo Bagman, one of the referees of the Triwizard Tournament.

So, various versions of speculation slowly evolved and circulated among the students.

Of course, Harry himself, Hermione and Sherin were not at the scene.

Although Harry had woken up from his coma, he had been hiding in his dormitory for most of the time. Although Ron had not mentioned to him what had happened after he fell into a coma, it was not difficult for Harry to guess that many students - or most of the students at Hogwarts - should be gloating over their misfortune, because they all thought they were trying to steal the honor that belonged to Shaylin.

Damn it!

This was clearly not his intention.

Harry had clearly followed the instructions of the judges to go on stage to receive the award. Besides, he didn't know that Shaylin had ever touched the Goblet of Fire!

"Shaylin Malfoy!" Harry thought bitterly in his heart, "It's all you, it's all you who made me like this, you liar with your mouth full of lies, sooner or later I will expose your true face!"

As for Hermione, she woke up on the spot after drinking the potion prepared by Madam Pomfrey for her.

According to her, she had no memory of what happened that night. She only vaguely remembered that she was looking up information in the library, and then half an hour before the start of the Triwizard Tournament, she was about to leave the library to go to the playground to watch the game, and then... then she had no memory.

This "memory blackout" experience made her very distressed - but no matter how she tried, she could not recall the lost memory.

According to Madam Pomfrey, her memory was erased by some unprecedented high-level forgetfulness spell.

Although Hermione insisted that she was fine, Madam Pomfrey still insisted that she stay in the hospital for observation for another day.

As for why Shaylin did not attend, as mentioned earlier, Shaylin was simply lying on his comfortable big bed and even breakfast was delivered to his room by the house elf.

As various versions of rumors began to spread more and more, the atmosphere in Hogwarts began to change.

Although the news of Voldemort's return was not announced, after that day, the castle became inexplicably tense.

All students had an illusion that they had returned to the days two years ago when the basilisk was rampant in the castle.

Panic and distrust spread across the campus, and all kinds of rumors spread at a very fast speed. There have been hundreds of versions of what happened after Sherin and Harry disappeared in the maze, and each one sounded like the truth.

Harry noticed that most people walked around him in the corridor, avoiding his gaze.

Some people covered their mouths with their hands and whispered to each other as he walked by. He guessed that many of them believed Rita Skeeter's article and thought he was mentally ill and might be a dangerous person.

Everyone's distrust stimulated his extremely bad mood because of Voldemort's resurrection and his embarrassing experience of being knocked unconscious by the Goblet of Fire. It is said that he finally couldn't suppress his emotions in Gryffindor Tower and exploded, and had a serious quarrel with his roommates Seamus and Dean.

The incident later alarmed several prefects to come out to mediate and successfully calmed the conflict, but this incident planted the seeds of discord within Gryffindor.

Harry now always has a look on his face that says no one should come near him. Only Ron and Hermione can approach and accompany him - usually Ron and Hermione play chess and chat, while Harry sits alone quietly.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shailling.

Yes, because of Shailling's appearance, Harry's personality in this world is very different from that in the original book.

The original Harry would have matured in character because of Cedric's death, so these rumors against him could not hurt his emotions. At the same time, he also learned to silently bear the burden of fighting Voldemort, which was an extremely important turning point for him to become a hero in the original book.

Harry now, whether in terms of courage, adaptability, or mentality, can be said to be very different from him in the original book.

But this is not Shailling's problem - after all, although Shailling intends to compete for the honor of the Triwizard Tournament champion, it was not Shailling's intention for the Goblet of Fire to embarrass Harry. If Harry had not insisted on touching the Goblet of Fire, he would not have been backlashed by the magic on the Goblet of Fire.

Schelling still had a lot of things to do, and time was running out. He had no time to care about the impact of his plan on Harry and his group.

There were still seven days left before the end of the semester, and he didn't plan to just sit around in Hogwarts and waste his time.

The first thing he had to do was to check the cards in his hand.

This experience of fighting against three quasi-great magisters has indeed benefited him a lot, but it has also exposed him to many trump cards - the "Moon and Star Shift" that can transfer magic spells, and the "Overweight" that can be used in a wide range. Domain", the "Perfect Li Yan" that evolved into black, the sealed "Wand of Night", as well as various treasures he has collected over the years, etc.

Although he successfully took advantage of the opponent's misjudgment this time and gained the upper hand in the battle, it will not be so easy next time if the opponent is on guard.

Not to mention, the human puppets damaged by her are not easy to make alchemical products. Even if the Hohenheim family, an alchemy family, wants to remake a batch, it will probably take a year and a half. Thinking that Eleanor knows that she will make human puppets. The reaction after the damage made Xie Lin feel a little headache.

And there is...

Demon hunter...my partner...

As a carrier of magic, Demon Hunter obtains a real entity through the concretization of Schelling's magic ritual. After suffering damage that exceeds the limit of his own body, although he is not wiped out, it can almost be regarded as being beaten back to a spirit body composed of pure magic power. change--

It is probably not something that can be accomplished in a short time if we need to regenerate the strength to achieve resurrection.

It can be said that with the loss of two trump cards and the exposure of hidden strength, Schelling's overall combat strength has also been greatly affected.

Thinking of this, Xie Lin sighed, finally put away his lazy mood, got up and left the dormitory.

Xie Lin came to the secret passage behind the large mirror on the fifth floor and entered the secret base of Mianlong Society.

There was a noise from the front end of the long secret passage.

Xie Lin thought for a moment and roughly guessed what it was about. He quickened his pace and reached the end of the secret passage.
