Chapter 514 Showdown

,!

Due to the targeting of the other three magic schools, the life of Durmstrang students has not been easy recently, and the ship has also fallen into a dull mood. However, there is a party to be held tonight - to welcome their warriors back from recovery.

Reinhard Nott finally finished his treatment in the infirmary.

It is said that in order to celebrate the return of Reinhard Nott, Karkaroff ordered a lot of delicacies from the Hogwarts kitchen. Obviously there was no way to celebrate properly in the castle auditorium, so Karkaroff put the party aside The home court was put on Durmstrang's big ship.

The Durmstrang students were not enthusiastic about the return of Reinhard Nott. When the warrior was welcomed onto the deck, there was only a dull round of applause - the students were more concerned about themselves. Being able to eat a meal in comfort without being ridiculed by the Hogwarts jerks at the next table.

Reinhard Nott was much thinner than when he first came to Hogwarts, and there was even a bandage wrapped around his chest - the thunderbird's claws and beak were not highly poisonous, but His innate lightning ability caused the wound to be burned by high temperature and paralyzed by static electricity. Even with magical treatment, it would take longer to fully heal. At least his bandage would need to be tied for another half month.

On the deck, several students who had been assigned tasks by Karkaroff were reluctantly singing songs with toads. Amidst the not-so-pleasant music, Reinhard Nott was talking to Karkaroff. What.

"My child, it's great that you can come back safely." Karkaroff gave the other party a hug.

Reinhard Nott just nodded slightly: "Thank you for your continued help, Mr. Principal."

"You are too outspoken, Reinhardt -" Karkaroff smiled exaggeratedly, with an almost flattering smile on his face, "As a warrior of Durmstrang, of course you are the focus of my attention! "

"Warrior——" Reinhard Nott slowly revealed a solemn smile, with endless hatred and gloom in his eyes.

Being so humiliated by Sean not only caused severe physical injuries, but also a more serious mental blow to him.

Confidence, popularity, pride, these things were severely stepped on by that person.

Noticing Reinhard Nott's expression, Karkaroff pulled him aside and whispered in his ear: "Reinhardt, now is not the time. When the time comes, you can take revenge on that guy any way you want. Okay, what we have to do now is calm down.”

"Mr. Principal, I'm calm." He drank the beer in his hand.

Looking at the other person's retreating figure, Karkaroff's eyes flashed with a hint of impatience and annoyance.

Reinhard Nott, who was walking down the deck, stopped at the corner. He looked to one side, and a figure appeared in the shadows.

Leon Schneider is also one of the Three Durmstrang Warriors, but he has received the least attention.

"Leon——" Reinhard Nott showed an incomprehensible smile, "Don't you go to the deck to have something to eat? Today is my welcome party."

The thin black-haired boy just raised his head slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth: "I have already enjoyed a delicious dinner."

"Really?" Reinhardt licked his lips, "I thought you were always hungry..."

"One month of treatment seems to have taught you how to play riddles - the infirmary at Hogwarts also has the function of treating muscle brains?" Leon Schneider sneered.

In the past, such a provocation would have made Reinhardt smile ferociously, followed by a fight. This guy's irritability was famous throughout the school, otherwise, he wouldn't have faced Sean Wallop this time. Crazy provocation in front of the guy.

To Leon Schneider's surprise, the other party did not show an angry or violent expression, but instead spat out a message like a poisonous snake.

"Leon, you were the one who informed Professor Karkaroff that day, right?"

"Do you want to express your gratitude to me? After all, I can't watch my classmates being beaten to death by students from other schools, right?" Leon Schneider smiled sarcastically.

The two of them seemed to have switched personalities at this moment, one started to be provocative and the other started to be gloomy.

Reinhard Knott showed a weird smile, and he leaned over and whispered in the other person's ear: "Man, the news about Daisy Porter's attack at the bottom of the Black Lake has been spread, and Wallop's So being so angry has something to do with that incident - he thought it was all my doing."

Leon Schneider's expression did not change at all: "Frankly speaking, Reinhardt, you should do this kind of thing more beautifully."

"Oh? You also think I did it?" The latter showed an excited smile, "Unfortunately, Wallop doesn't seem to think so?"

"What on earth do you want to say."

"Although it makes me very uncomfortable to admit it like this, I must say that that kid was very smart - he was looking for trouble that day, and he was also here to test. He was looking for someone, and he was looking for someone who attacked Daisy Poe that day. A special person...if my guess is correct, his main target of suspicion has turned to you."

Leon Schneider just chuckled: "I don't think so...Besides, are you scared? Reinhart Knott, who is fearless, would actually become so... because of a fifth-grade boy. …Like a hidden conspirator? It looks interesting, my friend.”

Reinhardt did not show an unhappy expression, he just narrowed his eyes: "Leon, I know what you think... but don't you think we should make some changes? Sean Wallop, he He is almost investigating Durmstrang forcefully like a superior, just to find the person who attacked his little girlfriend. He has the means and strength, and a large number of people have gathered around him——"

"What about us? We can't do anything except mock each other and laugh at each other - it's so embarrassing, Leon... I've already embarrassed myself once, and my face has been completely ruined on the playground of Hogwarts... And Sean Wallop hasn’t found the murderer yet, who do you think will be the next person he steps on?”

He smiled exaggeratedly and raised his arms violently, as if he wanted to hug his best friend.

"While we were happily fighting among ourselves, he was uniting the forces around him. He was like an excellent leader, like a great wizard, even like...your idol, Mr. Gellert Grindelwald— —And we will be his stepping stone to fame and power?”

Leon Schneider moved his heels, and the rough soles of his standard boots rubbed against the wooden floor of the cabin, making an annoying sound.

His voice was still calm, but not as relaxed as before.

"Reinhardt, when you were stepped on hard, did you finally realize this?" he said.

Reinhard took a step back, then bowed slightly, his face buried, hiding a contemptuous smile that could not be seen from the other side.

"I apologize to you for the stupid things I did when I was young, Leon - oh, I regret it so much. I shouldn't have done those things at the time. It's really... regrettable."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Leon Schneider's face: "What a pity, my friend, when I saw him doing those things to you... what you did to me, I only felt pleasure - However, you should really express your gratitude to me, at least I called Professor Karkaroff and saved your life."

"Oh? Really?" Reinhardt didn't raise his head. "Did you shout on purpose, or were you just together at the time?"

"Ha, does it make any difference?"

"Of course, my friend..." Reinhardt still lowered his head, and there was no emotion in his voice, "They all think that I am Karkaroff's favorite student, and the gloomy and introverted Leon... Schneider is not liked by the principal... I perfectly played an arrogant and eye-catching target, so that our Mr. Schneider has more room to do something unnoticed... You and Ka What is Karloff discussing? What does the restricted area at the bottom of the ship have to do with you?"

He finally looked up with a sinister smile.

"Mr. Schneider? Or, Mr. Obscurus?"

Leon Schneider's penis shrank slightly, and he seemed to want to quickly regain his expression, but gave up the idea after a moment.

He knew that Reinhard Knott was irritable, irritable, and arrogant, but he was not a brainless idiot. Since he dared to come to him for a showdown, it meant that he must have some clues.

However, this is within the scope of his expectations - Durmstrang has too many secrets, which are bloated and straightforward. Sean Wallop from the foreign school is gradually getting closer to the secret, which makes no sense for his own school. The top students didn't notice at all.

"Reinhardt——" Leon Schneider adjusted the collar of the other party slowly, "You are much better than the stupid appearance you show..."

He seemed to be a different person, arrogant and proud to the extreme.

Reinhardt's eyes widened slightly, as if he didn't expect the other party to admit it so readily.

"Then, what are you going to do?" Leon Schneider continued, "Tell people from other schools? Go to Sean Wallop who just stepped on you? Become a Durmstrang traitor? "

Reinhard Nott's expression changed, and he narrowed his eyes: "What are you and Karkaroff planning? And those professors who have only joined the school in the past few years, those restricted areas that were suddenly designated ?”

"This is not something you are qualified to know now -" Leon Schneider said calmly, "However, your outstanding performance has earned you the opportunity to join us. Of course, it is just an opportunity."

"Interesting... besides me, other students have joined you? Viktor?"

Leon Schneider was noncommittal: "You have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and your status as a Durmstrang student has earned you a key to open the door, otherwise..."

Black particles suddenly spread out from his body, and then directly enveloped Reinhardt's body.

"Otherwise, you would be a corpse now..."

"You are indeed the Obscurus..." Reinhardt, who was bound by black particles, turned red in the face, and the sudden suffocation made his voice sound like a leaky bellows, "Durmstrang is still the same now. Durmstrang? Ha."

Leon Schneider threw the other party to the ground casually: "This is not something you need to consider. You have two choices now. One. Accept a small assessment, then join us, and then get unimaginable rewards. Two. I will strip your hair, make enough Polyjuice Potion, and someone will become the new Reinhard Nott until the end of Goblet of Fire - and then the famous Reinhard Nott may die. Attacks by dark wizards, potion accidents, etc."

Reinhard grinned and rubbed his throat: "Do I have any other choice?"

"It seems that you have made a decision, very good, you are getting smarter - but, I guess, when you decided to come to me, you may have already planned it? Yes, you were excluded from the great plan, Of course a guy as arrogant as you will not give in."

Reinhard Nott did not reply to the other party's evaluation of himself. Instead, he lay half-lying on the ground as if he didn't care: "Then, what should I do?"

"Your mission is very simple. Of course, before that, I need to leave some insurance for you..." Leon Schneider narrowed his eyes, "Turn off your Occlumency, Nott."

Reinhardt's expression changed, and then he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, and the defense in his brain collapsed.

"Ha, powerful Occlumency. If you hadn't met Wallop, you might have been the most famous genius after Dumbledore and Grindelwald."

Leon Schneider laughed in admiration and ridicule, and then, a black particle slowly floated out from his temple. The magic power belonging to Obscurus was wrapped in another strange magic power.

Then, black particles burrowed toward Reinhardt's temple like a spreading fungus.

In the dark corridor of the cabin, magic like an evil religious ritual was being performed, and Reinhardt, who was half-kneeling, showed a painful expression.

Leon Schneider, on the other hand, looked at the other party calmly, with the curve of his mouth showing satisfaction and contentment.

The black particles vibrated suddenly, and then the spreading process stopped briefly.

Leon Schneider frowned: "Take care of your Occlumency, otherwise, you will die here now."

After his reminder, black particles continued to spread into the other party's head.

After a moment, Leon Schneider put away the black particles: "I think if you try to betray, you should be able to guess your end?"

Reinhardt grinned: "It's easy to guess... However, now I am very curious about where your power comes from. With all due respect, your talent is not outstanding, and after enrolling in school... It is impossible for a wizard to become an Obscurus."

"When you complete your assessment tasks, you can join us. You will naturally know when the time comes."

Reinhard Nott showed a weird smile: "I'm looking forward to that day..."
