Chapter 458 After the Game (Modified)
After Dumbledore took Harry away, Allen showed his figure behind a tombstone far away from them. He first took back the modified mirror of the deadly enemy, and then approached the place where Dumbledore and Voldemort fought just now After observing the terrain tombstones damaged by magical power for a while, he turned into a phoenix and teleported back to Hogwarts.
In the dark night, except for some Aurors in uniform walking around and a few injured wretches who occasionally hissed because of their injuries when they were talking to others, it seemed that order had basically been restored in the stands.
Allen glanced around and saw Luna and Hermione waving at him in their positions. Allen nodded to them and walked towards Dumbledore and Harry.
Dumbledore, who was helping Harry to examine him, found Allen, and beckoned Allen to get closer: "Allen, I'm glad to see that you're all right."
"I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore. Unlike the plan, I was transported to another place. As soon as the Death Eaters saw me, they began to cast the magic that prohibited apparition, so that the Aurors couldn't catch up immediately. Come, and then they started attacking Hungerford Bridge, and I had to be delayed there by them, otherwise there would be a train full of Muggles that would suffer misfortune." Allen took the initiative to explain.
And Dumbledore waved his hand first, turned his head to Kingsley and Harry who were standing beside him and said, "Kingsley, please help Harry do some checks instead of me. Harry, your friend is obviously worried You, you must have a lot to say, you are very brave today, we have to officially award the trophy for this tournament later, after that you go to sleep well, don't let these Death Eaters The damage affects us, let's talk about other things later."
Harry saw Ron standing behind a pillar and winking at him. Although he still had a lot to ask them, he finally nodded to Dumbledore and Allen, and walked aside with Kingsley to continue accepting examine.
"Their attack on the stadium also managed to delay me for a few minutes. Alan, will you admit that Voldemort is back during the interview?" After making sure they left, Dumbledore did not continue to delve into the fact that Alan did not come reason.
"Sorry, principal, you know I didn't really see if the mysterious man was resurrected." Allen distanced himself from Dumbledore and replied in a diplomatic tone deliberately.
"Kingsley told me what happened to the Ministry of Magic tonight. Is power really that important to you?" Dumbledore's face, which was stained by the tombstone powder, had not yet been cleaned, and his body His robes were also stained with mud, which made him look even more aged and tired after a duel.
Regardless of whether Dumbledore cared about the sacrifices of others, and regardless of his methods, he looked at the old man in front of him who basically devoted the rest of his life to safeguarding the safety of the wizarding world. There was still a trace of guilt in Allen's heart. He sighed long, raised his head and opened his mouth to Dumbledore, wanting to say something to comfort him, but in the end he only uttered a sentence: "Sorry, power is coming to Harris It's important to say."
"Now," Ludo Bagman's voice sounded like a bell, "ladies and gentlemen, although some minor accidents occurred during our competition, we cannot let the schemes of those black wizards succeed. This competition will have a successful conclusion. Now, the results of the competition have come out, please return to your seats as soon as possible, we will present awards to the warriors."
The podium where Ludo Bagman was located was magically illuminated, so that all the spectators in the stands could see the situation on the podium. The scattered audience gradually returned to their seats.
"Now, let's applaud and welcome the warriors to the stage!" Bagman shouted.
Allen turned into a phoenix and flew into the sky, circling and uttering a crisp and melodious cry, and there was a response from another direction, Fox also appeared in the night sky,
Two golden phoenixes flew around the arena in the dark night sky, hearing their song-like singing, the hearts of the people present were filled with infinite courage and hope.
When Allen landed on the rostrum, the other warriors had already arrived on the stage. Krum and Kara's eyes were dazed and dazed. They sat blankly on the rostrum. It seemed that they hadn't completely recovered from the damage caused by the Imperius Curse. It might take a while to recover.
When Bagman announced Alan as champion, Alan accepted the trophy and prize money from Dumbledore to thunderous applause.
Soon, journalists from various newspapers and magazines rushed into the rostrum pushing each other.
They kept asking the Warriors how they felt about the game, about the attack that happened tonight.
Allen, Harry, and Dumbledore were the ones who received the most attention and were the main subjects of interviews by reporters. And several topics in the interview also became hot spots that various media rushed to report the next day.
The biggest hot spot is Dumbledore and Harry's claim that the You-Know-Who is back.
As the champion, Allen got the most attention, especially those Aurors who arrested the Death Eaters with Allen on the Hungerford Bridge, fought Allen hard, repaired the Hungerford Bridge, and saved the Muggles The things explained clearly.
"Mr. Alan Harris, is the return of the mysterious man that Principal Dumbledore and Mr. Harry Potter said true? Have you seen it?"
"As the Aurors just said, I just fought some dark wizards at Hungerford Bridge. I didn't witness the resurrection of the Dark Lord with my own eyes. I have no way of confirming the authenticity of this incident. "Alan said with a smile.
Harry glanced at Alan in surprise. After the interview, he immediately talked about his doubts to Hermione: "It's hard for me to understand. Before our match, Alan told me that we took the risk to kill Voldemort. Then Why didn't he prove to us that Voldemort is back during the interview?"
"Harry, Allen must have his own reasons..." Before Hermione could finish defending Allen, she was interrupted by Ron next to her.
"You shouldn't trust these pure bloods, Harry! Besides, people don't want to see——his return." Ron shrank his neck from Hermione's stare as soon as he finished speaking, and had to restrain himself from continuing to speak ill of Allen Impulsive, she just solved a black wizard with a magic spell with her own hands! Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly asked Harry, "Mysterious Man? He's really back?"
"Yes, I saw his resurrection process with my own eyes. That witch named Bellatrix Lestrange was very crazy. Originally, when Voldemort was resurrected, other Death Eaters were chosen, but that witch Suddenly ran out madly and asked—why wasn't she, and offered her palm to help the mysterious man complete that evil rebirth spell." Harry said.
Hermione's eyes flashed when she heard what Harry said about Bella, "Why not me?" This sounds a bit like Penello's feelings for Allen. If Allen encounters this situation, Penello He will definitely not allow himself and Luna to contribute their palms to Allen before her.
Neville clenched his fists when Harry said the name Bellatrix Lestrange. "She cut off her own hand?" Neville asked.
"Yes, but Voldemort rewarded her with a gleaming human hand, as bright as moonlight. According to Voldemort's introduction to Bella, it was left by him himself based on an introduction to an ancient lich named Vecna. According to the data in the sacred tool book—Vecna’s palm—it is estimated to be an imitation. But even though it is only an imitation, the power of that hand seems to be very powerful, as if it can absorb the life force of the thing it touches.”
Harry thought of Bellatrix Lestrange trying to bend her gleaming fingers to pick up another twig from the ground, the twig that had sprouted on it quickly decayed into powder, and It is similar to the effect of the withering technique that Allen used in the second game.
