Chapter 666 Animagus

Dumbledore and Snape certainly understood that what Ethan meant was that his apparent age was still young enough to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

But Harry Potter didn't meet the requirements either. Voldemort's group forced Harry Potter into the match, and it seemed that they had considered the iron rule that 'decisions made by the Goblet of Fire cannot be changed'.

If the Death Eaters could do it, why couldn't Dumbledore?

This was no longer a normal game. According to the arrangement of the Death Eaters, Harry would almost be escorted to win. This was simply a play, and it was also a script programmed by the enemy.

As a mortal enemy, it is the correct approach not to follow the opponent's script, but to cause trouble for the opponent by the way.

"So, you guys just asked me to make sure nothing happened to Harry, right?"

"Yes."

Dumbledore asked Ethan to represent Hogwarts mainly because of security considerations.

First of all, the players representing Hogwarts will definitely be involved in this conspiracy. There is not enough security, even if they are reminded in advance, there will inevitably be no accidents.

Secondly, Harry is Voldemort's key target, and according to the current arrangement, Harry Potter will almost certainly face Voldemort head-on.

This means that Harry Potter will be in the most dangerous environment, in which case Harry Potter is likely to lose his life.

In a meeting within the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius strongly opposed putting Harry Potter in such a dangerous situation.

Recently, Sirius has been persuading Harry Potter to move out to live with him, except that Sirius is Harry's godfather, and he wants to protect Harry Potter nearby and not give Voldemort any chance.

Now he disliked that he didn't protect himself enough, how could he send Harry to Voldemort before his eyes?

"As long as I'm still alive, no one wants Harry to participate in that damned Triwizard Tournament! Anyway, it's a conspiracy created by the Death Eaters, and Harry is not eligible to participate in it!"

Being thrown into Azkaban for more than ten years inexplicably, it is impossible for Sirius not to have no objection to the Ministry of Magic, because with Harry Potter, he can still suppress his various dissatisfaction, even though the Ministry of Magic has never publicly given him a statement He didn't care about restoring his reputation, it was all for Harry's sake.

But if the Ministry of Magic dared to put Harry in danger at this time, Sirius didn't mind being a real criminal, showing the Ministry of Magic idiots how terrible he was when he went crazy.

The people in the Ministry of Magic are afraid that Dumbledore will not know, anyway, he has enough headaches now.

After much deliberation, the safest way is to let Ethan protect Harry nearby.

How close is that close enough to be safe?

Ethan is a student of Hogwarts, it is impossible for him to participate in this competition as a referee.

What's more, there are no referees in the Triwizard Tournament, and the criteria for winning and losing are very clear, and only players can enter the competition venue.

Then the answer is obvious. Only when Ethan competes as a player can he guarantee close-range protection of Harry Potter.

"Okay, I have nothing else to do anyway."

The biggest problem for Ethan in this matter is...how can he control himself from killing Voldemort...

Hmm... You can't even beat him too hard. If you accidentally beat Voldemort seriously again, or if you get scared, this guy won't dare to come out to make trouble. The previous arrangements would become a joke.

"At worst, hide in the dark, and take Harry away when Voldemort is resurrected."

Seeing Ethan nodded in agreement, Dumbledore also let out a sigh of relief.

As Dumbledore got to know Ethan more and more as he got in touch with Ethan more and more, he finally understood why the three-headed dog and the phoenix were so cute in front of him.

There was an inexplicable coercion emanating from this person, but Ethan hid it very well, and most people couldn't detect it.

In other words, because human beings are more accustomed to observing and judging another person or creature through vision, rather than judging by pure feeling, they cannot be aware of this in the first place.

Dumbledore smiled wryly, why not himself? If it wasn't for Ethan not hiding his thoughts and expressing them proactively, maybe he is still struggling with the identity of the other party.

"Thank you very much for your help."

Ethan looked at Dumbledore next to him. The old professor was still smiling and stood politely aside, showing no intention of leaving.

Snape on the side knew why, but he didn't want to talk at this time, for fear of accidentally getting himself into trouble.

"Is there anything else?"

"That's right, Sirius, Mr. Sirius Black, Harry's godfather, hopes to meet you in person."

"Sirius? He saw me..."

Ethan suddenly realized that Dumbledore must have repeatedly promised to find a qualified 'bodyguard' for Harry, but Mr. Sirius Black didn't know Ethan, and even having Lupine as a guarantee could not reduce his suspicion.

This is also normal, Ethan would not casually trust someone he had never met before, not to mention that Sirius suffered a big loss because of trusting others before.

"He wants to test my strength."

"Is such that."

"It's nothing, it's human nature, I can understand it."

Ethan nodded, indicating that he understood, but Dumbledore still didn't leave directly, or took Ethan to see Sirius, but asked in a low voice.

"Sirius was framed and imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, so his temper is a bit grumpy, and there may be some uncalm words..."

"You hope I don't mind? Be gentle when you do it, so as not to hurt him?"

Sirius is also a well-known figure in the magic world. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic dare not say that they can deal with Sirius. As a result, in Ethan's mouth, he is like a child who can be beaten casually.

Dumbledore knew this was the truth, but he still felt it was weird, but he had to nod to admit that Ethan was right, otherwise when Ethan got angry, who knew what he would do to Sirius?

"I promise I won't hurt him, let's go now."

Sirius came to Hogwarts to meet Ethan, and they didn't need to meet outside the school.

At this stage, going to meet outside the school is more troublesome. Who knows who will see their whereabouts?

In a time when Death Eaters were hiding almost everywhere, only the interior of Hogwarts was considered a safe place.

Even if some students came from pure-blood wizards or even Death Eater families, these children are not completely hopeless at present, and even in Dumbledore's eyes, these children are all the future of the wizarding world. They are not enemies, they just accepted some wrong ideas since they were young, as long as they change this part.

Following Dumbledore, the three of them perfectly avoided the areas where all the students often appeared. After walking for a while in the quiet corridor, they soon came to a remote classroom.

Ethan saw Professor McGonagall here, and after Professor McGonagall nodded to Ethan, he didn't follow them in. He was obviously standing here looking at the gate to prevent students or unsuspecting professors from breaking in accidentally. .

Walking into the classroom, this old classroom is full of dust, and there are even thick cobwebs in the corner of the room. It is obvious that no one usually comes here, and no one uses this place, except for a little pile of cobwebs in the corner. Clutter, there is nothing useful here, so even the most basic cleaning work has been abandoned.

"In Hogwarts, there are so many places like this..."

"The school is too big, but there are only so many students and professors, and there will indeed be a lot of empty space."

Dumbledore hoped that all places would be used, which meant that there were enough students, and indirectly proved the prosperity of the magic world.

Ethan withdrew his gaze from looking around, and focused on the man in front of him.

Ever since they came in, the man's eyes had never moved away from Ethan, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Ethan was so valued by Dumbledore.

If it wasn't for his friend Lupine's reassurance, he would even suspect that Dumbledore was perfunctory.

The gate closed, and Dumbledore and Snape stepped back very simply, leaving the empty field to the two of them.

Besides the person involved, the only person present was Professor Lupine. When he was about to say something to his friend, he was stopped by Sirius.

"Needless to say, anyway, I will know the answer soon."

Lupine reluctantly retreated to Dumbledore's side. In fact, he also looked forward to seeing Ethan make another shot in his heart. It would be even better if the person standing opposite him was not his good friend.

"Sirias-Olaine-Black."

"Ethan."

Sirius took out his wand and saluted Ethan.

"It's nothing personal, I just want to keep Harry safe."

"I know." Ethan returned the salute, and then took his wand back without hesitation: "I believe you will confirm this soon."

Sirius was still wondering what Ethan's action meant, but Lupine on the side immediately reminded him.

"Be careful, he doesn't need a wand to cast his spells."

Lupine's reminder brought Sirius back to his senses, and the previous doubt disappeared in an instant: none of the wizards who can cast spells without a staff is weak.

At the same time, I also feel uneasy about being 'underestimated' in my heart, because casting spells without a wand is not as convenient, fast and powerful as using a wand. This is almost the consensus of the magic world.

Just when Sirius was about to show Ethan some awesomeness, he suddenly heard Ethan on the opposite side say: "I heard that you are an Animagus? You should be very used to the feeling of being an animal!"

Sirius doesn't understand what Ethan means? But before he could react, he found that his body was completely out of control, and he spit out unfamiliar and familiar syllables.

"Meh~"
