Chapter 121 Showdown

The oncoming cheers made people dizzy, and the sunlight above them also made them dizzy. Mu Yu barely held on to the railing. She didn't need a mirror to know that her face must be extremely bad now.

She suppressed her surging blood and looked at the sparkling lake. A figure appeared on the water, and he swam towards the shore as hard as he could.

When they saw this figure, the crowd burst into even louder cheers, and at the same time, a person quickly walked past the corner where she was.

"I'm going to deal with Moody."

He walked toward the castle under the cover of the crowd without stopping.

Mu Yu took a deep breath and nodded imperceptibly to show his cooperation.

Snape, who was sitting in the stands, turned around as if aware.

Mu Yu closed his eyes and touched the jade pendant hanging on his waist. The warm texture of the jade pendant calmed her slightly panicked heart.

Harry had already swam to the shore. The moment he saw him, Dumbledore stood up and walked quickly towards him. The curious crowd also densely surrounded the two of them.

Currently, the only warrior ashore is Shen Xitong, and next to her is Daphne, who is soaked all over.

"He's back, Voldemort is back," Harry grabbed Dumbledore's hand and said in the loudest voice he could, "Muyu, Muyu is a Death Eater, she was the one who threw my name into the Goblet of Fire. , I saw her with my own eyes, and she was right next to him."

The noisy crowd fell into a dead silence when Harry said the name, and his subsequent words sounded even more bizarre.

Shen Qitong was about to say it was impossible, but turned around and saw his master's dejected face. Daphne on the side grabbed her sleeve and murmured in a low voice: "No, it's impossible, Potter is talking nonsense." ."

Others on the referee's bench had completely different reactions. Beauxbatons' headmaster, Madame Maxime, didn't seem to believe Harry's words at all. Karkaroff slumped in his seat as if he had completely lost his mind. Catherine Jones, the headmaster of Ilvermorny College, keeps a close eye on Dumbledore.

Mu Yu had a clear view of everyone's expressions. She pushed aside the crowd. Sirius, who was standing next to Harry, seemed to be trying his best not to pull out his wand on her. She was calm despite all kinds of gazes. She spoke slowly and calmly: "This morning I came out of the Slytherin common room with others, went to the auditorium to have breakfast, and watch the game. There were different people testifying throughout the process." She grabbed the jade pendant harder, "I have never left the auditorium."

The disappointed and angry looks were no longer concealed, but they had reached such a point that she completely calmed down.

She also has to thank Rita Skeeter for releasing the new book a few days before the competition, which combined with the seemingly perfect evidence to accidentally pick her out.

Kyushu is at its most critical moment. The British Ministry of Magic has not yet been completely controlled. Ivan has just stood in the political arena of ordinary people. At this time, she does not allow any unexpected situations to happen.

Several Slytherin students nodded in agreement when she said this. They didn't have much close friendship with Mu Yu, so there was no need to lie.

Dumbledore's long beard was trembling, and he first let out a sharp scream, with gurgling in his throat and didn't know what he was saying. As his last syllable ended, several mermaids grabbed a few people and floated to the lake shore. The people who had just landed ashore Everyone looked confused when they saw this situation.

The match was terminated early.

While Dumbledore was talking to the mermaid leader, Cornelius Fudge led the Ministry of Magic officials present and several members of the International Federation of Wizards into the center.

"What happened?" Cornelius Fudge hurried over.

He cast his gaze on Harry, who was wrapped in a blanket and had just drank a bottle of potion. It was just a casual glance, but as if he had discovered something, he rubbed his eyes again, as if to confirm that he had seen correctly.

He took a few steps closer and moved away the broken hair that was covering Harry's forehead, exposing his forehead to everyone: "Oh my God, my God, Merlin's beard, look at his scars."

That said. The iconic lightning-shaped scar has faded to the point where only a few traces are left, and the shape is almost impossible to piece together.

The first person to see the change in the scar quietly told his companions the new explosive news, and soon the fact that Harry's scar had faded spread like ripples in further directions.

Some people's expressions became intriguing.

Dumbledore ended the conversation with the mermaid leader. He still seemed indifferent, but Mu Yu could see his anger from his trembling hands.

She didn't know mermaid language, but she was sure that Dumbledore's inquiry would have no results.

The vast black lake is too easy to get lost.

No matter how the crowd discussed or how the eyes around her changed, she still stood firmly in the center of the crowd: "Since the principals of each school and officials from the Ministry of Magic are here, Professor Dumbledore, I request that everything be explained clearly here. "

The way Dumbledore looked at her didn't look like he was looking at a student, or a child who had made a mistake.

At this time, he could still be called gentle: "As long as you are willing, Yu."

"Xiao Yu," Ning Yue seemed to have just reacted. He closed his eyes, as if he didn't have to see her, "Xiao Yu."

He trembled After standing up, as if he was about to fall down at any time, Shen Qitong quickly stepped forward to support him. He grabbed Shen Qitong's hand, as if looking for a support point: "Xiaoyu, Zihuai - if your grandfather is still here, he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it."

Mu Yu gently rubbed the jade pendant, she knew Ning Yue was still giving her one last chance to repent, so much so that he even took her grandfather out.

But he is no longer there, and even the tomb at the foot of Mingyuan Mountain is just a meaningless empty shell.

"Harry, you said that man came back and accused me of being a Death Eater lurking in Hogwarts, and the evidence was that he saw me standing with him," she briefly repeated in an extremely gentle tone. After going through it again, "However, more than one person witnessed that I stayed at the game from beginning to end and did not leave."

She glanced at Rita Skeeter, who was taking notes quickly with a quill in the crowd. She did not need to pester Harry. Fading scars, Rita Skeeter will help fill in the rest of the story.

Professor McGonagall was asking her classmates. Not only Slytherin people had seen Mu Yu appear in the auditorium and auditorium.

"I'm sitting next to Yu. I swear she didn't leave the audience for a minute." A first-year Slytherin student spoke timidly.

"Puppet and teleportation array," Ning Yue suddenly said, not even pretending to be gentle on the surface. "You replaced your real body with a puppet, and you took advantage of the time when the Hogwarts restrictions were released during the game to arrange the teleportation array. Realize the alternation between you and the puppet."

"But more than one person testified that I never left the auditorium. The exchange of the puppet and the real body always takes time. Besides, I have to make room for the puppet. The teleportation array will leave traces after it is used. . You can search the entire competition venue and even my dormitory to see if you can find anything." She took off the ring in her hand and looked shocked, "Including my ring. Grandpa, you and my grandpa know each other, and I don’t have anyone close to me anymore. Why, why is this happening..."

She had to be thankful that she had replaced the basilisk fangs inside.

Ning Yue held down Shen Qitong, who was about to rush forward, and smiled bitterly. She was able to assume this posture most likely because she was confident. In full view of everyone, he had to ask Dumbledore for his opinion first: "This is Hogwarts, you see..."

Dumbledore nodded before he gestured to Kyushu. The people who came, along with several teachers from Hogwarts and several officials, went to collect evidence.

Even if they all know, they may not find anything at all.

While waiting, no one was willing to leave. In the eyes of most people, this drama was more exciting than the competition.

Mu Yu saw that Snape had disappeared at some point, but because of the drama, few people noticed that there were two missing teachers.

Maybe Dumbledore found out, but his concentration was so good that he could remain calm in such situations.

She squinted her eyes slightly, took off the jade pendant from her waist and turned it around silently.

She has attracted most of the attention to Barty Crouch Jr., and it's up to him whether he can do it or not.

While waiting for the results of the search, Cornelius Fudge rolled his eyes: "All followers of the mysterious man will have a mark." He looked at Mu Yu's sleeves and did not mention anything about his return, "This... Mu Miss, can you show us..."

Mu Yu calmly rolled up his sleeves, his smooth arms were white, and the crowd's chatter became louder.

"That's because your relationship with him is unusual," Harry shouted. After experiencing the initial shock, he only had anger towards her. "Muyu, look at the people who once trusted you, look into their eyes. !Tell them what you called him! You called him Tom, and you said you were never a good person!"

Dumbledore's hand pressed heavily on his shoulder.

"That's enough," Fudge interrupted Harry this time. He looked at him with great pity and regret, "This is a farce. This poor kid is insane. His former fame has brought him too much. Burden..."

"I'm sane." Harry said angrily. "She still has three lives on her hands. A house elf, a young man, an old man..."

"It's not necessary, Harry, if only because. There's really no need for the Yule Ball..."

Hermione, who had just been sent ashore not long ago, wanted to rush over and looked like she was about to argue, but was quickly stopped by Shen Qitong's quick eyes and hands.

"Everything I do now is to cooperate with her acting skills," Shen Qitong said in a very low voice in Hermione's ear, "I believe every word Harry said."

The searcher came back at this time and saw They looked like they had obviously found nothing.

"Harry has a clearer mind than anyone else, Cornelius," Dumbledore remained as calm as ever. "It is very important for everyone to learn to see with their own eyes and think with their own head."

"Really?" Fudge snorted coldly, "I have always respected you, Dumbledore. No matter how many rumors there have been recently, I have given you enough face. I don't want to use scandal to describe today's incident. Everything is in chaos, you The second project was forcibly terminated because of a child's fabrication. Can't you see? This boy's scars have faded. I must explain everything clearly so that everyone can question your inappropriate relationship with this boy. "

What nonsense are you talking about, Cornelius!" Professor McGonagall turned pale with anger.

"Anyway, that's the end of the matter," Fudge said to the Ministry of Magic officials and people from the International Confederation of Wizards behind him. "I think the Ministry of Magic already has the right to make reasonable adjustments to the way Hogwarts is run and personnel are appointed. Intervene."

"The result of the game is not that important," the principal of Ilvermorny College, who had been silent, said at this time. "Mr. Fudge, I suggest that you carefully consider what Dumbledore and Harry said."

"I agree. Ning Yue's voice was loud, "I believe Harry is capable enough to make reasonable judgments." "

Ms. Jones, Mr. Ning," Fudge was full of contentment and leisure at this time, "it's your business whether you care about the competition, but other than the competition, these are British internal affairs and have nothing to do with you." That's it for today. As for the competition and its follow-up matters, I will discuss and coordinate with the members of the International Federation of Wizards and have a fair and just discussion. "

He emphasized the last half of the sentence, and after speaking, he led a group of people to leave in a hurry.

It was obvious that at least most of the people were on his side. After Fudge left, the crowd slowly dispersed, and many people even He pointed at Harry while talking and laughing,

"Oh, this idiot. "Katherine Jones whispered.

"Master..."

Shen Qitong looked worriedly at Ning Yue, who seemed to have aged by more than ten years in an instant.

Xiaoyu... didn't even look back.

"Qitong, I'm fine," Ning Yue Siliang brushed her hand away as hard as he could, not wanting to look at her, "I'm fine. "

I'm going to find Leah," Daphne looked straight at her as if determined, "I think everything you said is right, Qitong, it's time to make a choice." "

Shen Qitong looked at Daphne who ran towards Astoria and the figure who never looked back. Seeing that the people around her had basically dispersed, she gritted her teeth and was about to walk over, but was grabbed by Phil Garcia.

"Pointless. "He said briefly, appearing extremely calm.

"Let go, of course I know it's meaningless, you won't understand.

She broke away from Phil Garcia and directly blocked Mu Yu's way.

Mu Yu looked at her calmly and called her name as if nothing happened: "Qitong. " "

Why?" Shen Xitong asked without any emotion, "What are you for?"

"Choose." "She answered simply, not to mention feeling guilty, not even hesitating.

With a snap, Shen Qitong slapped her on the face, and she covered her face gently, not dodging.

"This slap is for that boy. , for all the things you did to him. "She said coldly.

Then there was another slap.

"This one is for my two masters and the deceased Dean Xu. I think they are reluctant to part with it, so I will do it. "

When Xu Yu was mentioned, Mu Yu finally had some expression. She was stunned for a moment and twitched the corner of her mouth. Shen Qitong was merciless and used his true energy in every blow. At this time, he slightly twitched the corners of his lips. The pain was heartbreaking. But she seemed to have found some stimulation, and her smile grew bigger and bigger, and finally she laughed, looking at Shen Qitong with sigh, pity and envy.

"What do you know?"

She still covered her face . With a sullen expression, she didn't even have the desire to fight back. She looked like a compassionate god.

"You know what?" She raised her voice

loudly at the end, causing her left cheek to swell. But the hand was hesitant, and for a moment she almost thought it was going to stop in mid-air.

"This time it's for Xiao Di, she once regarded you as her best friend. "

The fight is over," she asked softly, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Dark clouds cannot cover the light forever." Nothing in this world lasts forever, just take care of yourself. "

"The same sentence, I give it to you. Mu Yu responded to her warmly, without any anger.

She still had time to tidy up her scattered robes, and walked slowly towards the castle as if nothing had happened.

There was always only life and death on the chessboard.

Not long ago, Severus Snape slammed open the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. What greeted him was only a room full of debris and a figure that had stepped into the fireplace and was about to disappear.

"You are really a good dog for Dumbledore, Severus." Barty Crouch Jr.'s ferocious face disappeared from the fireplace, and the spell suddenly disappeared.

Severus Snape rushed to the fireplace and saw only the last bit of floo powder burning away.

He stood there with his back straight, and behind him was Dumbledore who hurried over after noticing the situation. It was as if he didn't realize what he was about to face.

"No matter what happens, I'm ready, Dumbledore."
