"They're finally going to fight. All this peace and harmony these past few days has been disgusting."
Many viewers, like Voldemort, were happy to see this conflict unfold.
For some viewers with a darker personality, the fact that the characters, who are clearly competitors, act like a family helping each other is really disgusting.
And now the fighting is finally about to begin.
Krum can transform into a ghost after exchanging for the [Magical Circuit].
Phoebe Delacour's Magic Immortal Artifact spirit, the sister of the greatest White Wizard.
The spirit of Harry Potter's Magic Immortal Artifact, the mother of the Chosen One.
The winner of the first competition Cedric Diggory, is Magic Immortal Artifact spirit who can transform into a young Voldemort of various Magical Creature.
And Minerva McGonagall, the Vice-Headmistress and Transfiguration Professor of Hogwarts in this world.
Who will ultimately receive the Sorting Hat?
"Who are you?" Professor McGonagall frowned.
The mud sea enveloping her was already shimmering with a metallic luster under the effects of the Transfiguration.
Sharp weapons solidified within, producing a clanging metallic sound.
She raised the tip of her knife towards the two enemies within her field of vision.
("That's it?" Ron was incredulous. "What's the use of making some powerful weapons? It's just a matter of a Transfiguration.")
(Once, in a fit of extreme rage, he threw a dagger at Fred and George, but the two of them simply waved their wands, and the dagger turned into paper airplanes.)
(Hermione Ababa, for Ron's ignorance.)
(After calming down, she explained, "This is a powerful weapon created through Transfiguration. Like magical artifacts, it is difficult to Transfiguration. The specific difficulty depends on the caster's skill level in Transfiguration.")
("What about a protective spell? I'll use a Shield Charm, or I'll just unleash Devil Flame." Ron stubbornly persisted, racking his brains until he finally found the name of the spell.)
("Do you need me to tell you about the advanced applications of Transfiguration?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Applying magic to a Transfiguration object is the most common operation, and it's not difficult as an extension of magic.")
("This becomes a battle of magic against magic. If your magic is stronger than the opponent's Ironclad Shield Charm or Fiendfyre Curse, you will naturally be able to defeat them.")
(Their conversation ends here, as Ariana begins her attack on Krum.)
The exquisite silver gauntlet with a phoenix pattern appeared on Ariana's right wrist.
"[Rebirth, Immortal Phoenix]"
The air instantly became scorching hot and distorted.
Enormous fiery wings appeared behind her, making her appear like a god who wielded fire.
"How could this be?" Professor McGonagall couldn't believe that the aftershocks alone made her body tremble.
She had only ever seen such power in Dumbledore.
The rising temperature forced her to subconsciously Transfiguration the mud sea again. Frost spread and evaporated into mist, making her look Sage Aura, while her slightly reddened skin returned to its white color.
What surprised her even more was that face.
After the Salem Witch incident, the best way to judge the strength of an opponent is by their appearance.
The more beautiful she is, the older and more powerful the witch is.
But the witch before them, who had unleashed such overwhelming power, had an ordinary and uninteresting face.
This may mean that the results of Salem Bloodline Potion have been cracked and modified.
("Why am I staring at Ariana's face? The Sorting Hat is the core of the Mother-Child River." Professor McGonagall exclaimed in surprise.)
(Dumbledore understood the reason behind it, but believing his sister to be the cutest person in the world, he rejected the answer.)
(So he skipped the first question.)
("Perhaps she didn't know that the Sorting Hat was the core of the Mother-Child River.")
(This seemed normal to him. Perhaps Minerva believed that he and she could talk about anything and had no secrets.)
(But that's not the case. Just like Voldemort's real name, he wouldn't have told her if it weren't for what happened in his second year.)
Ariana paid no attention to Professor McGonagall's attention.
In her eyes, only Krum could be considered her opponent.
Out of empathy, and to avoid further damage to the Headmaster's Office, she flew into the sky.
Krum, whose head is invisible, followed closely behind.
Riddle, who had transformed into the Diricawl, then changed form again, becoming the Golden Flyer —a Magical Creature with extremely fast flight speed. The Golden Snitch was its replacement after it became endangered.
(The screen, which was originally divided into four sides, has now been divided into eight sides.)
(As Ariana and Riddle flew away into the distance, Cedric also vanished in a blur, and Phoebe transformed into a fairy at the corner and flew away.)
(Dumbledore realized, "I understand. In this world, there is a distance limit between the Heroic Spirits and its original form.")
("Apart from Magic Immortal Artifact like Krum whose abilities are Splinching, once the maximum distance is reached, the main body must move along with the Heroic Spirits as it moves.")
("What a pity, Krum," Professor McGonagall sighed.)
(Because Krum, who was in the Seventh Floor corridor, was unaware of this and failed to stop Phoebe and Cedric in time.)
(If they are stopped, Ariana and Riddle will also be unable to fly away from the tower, and they will still have to face her in this world.)
Now, Professor McGonagall looked at the intruders, Headmaster's Office had been ripped open and who had become two tiny dots in the sky.
She could only turn her attention to the office.
With a wave of her delicate hand, the dust that filled the ground coalesced into clumps, as if time had been reversed, and the Headmaster's Office was restored.
The muddy sea that enveloped her, covered in white frost, returned to the corridor and returned to its original state.
Harry and Krum remained standing near the entrance to the Headmaster's Office on the Seventh Floor.
("Harry has given up?" Ron heard Dumbledore's words.)
(In the scene, Harry and his mother are still in the same spot, not moving.)
(As for Cedric and Phoebe, due to their high-speed movement, the live broadcast footage—that is, everything in front of them—became a blur.)
Harry didn't give up; in fact, he was communicating with his mother.
"Mom, do you mean—"
"Yes, just as you guessed."
"Is the Sorting Hat they're fighting over fake? Is the real one there?"
"Still in the Headmaster's Office."
"Then what about me?"
"Don't move yet, Professor McGonagall is still looking for something missing in her office."
"How about we just do it like we did with Hagrid?"
Harry's suggestion was not because he thought Professor McGonagall might know the location of the real Sorting Hat.
Instead, after this commotion, all classes ended and students were asked to return to the lounge.
He can't stay here for long.
And
"Let's go back quickly, it's too dangerous here." Draco put her arm around Harry and tried to pull him downstairs.
Roan, unusually, showed no jealousy, only looking at him with Harley with reluctance, "Let's go quickly, in case those dark wizards come back again."
At the same time, footsteps were approaching from afar.
Judging from their breathing, the professors are on their way here.
This is all so chaotic.
First, Krum sneaked into the office alone, without telling them.
After discovering this, Phoebe and Cedric did not inform him and also dispatched their Heroic Spirits to carry out the operation.
If Ariana hadn't caused this scene, he and his mother wouldn't have known.
Right now, Ariana, who is speeding through the air at a great height, is thinking the same thing.
She had assumed that only Krum was pursuing her.
But the afterimage of Cedric that Phoebe saw indicated that Cedric's Heroic Spirits — Tom Riddle— had also been released and was lurking in the shadows, ready to reap the benefits.
This forced her to conserve her strength and try to use her speed to get rid of Krum, instead of engaging in a major battle with him.
Krum was completely unaware of this.
He only had Ariana as his opponent.
"You don't need to waste your time anymore." Under the influence of the ghost's body, even though Krum's speed exceeded the speed of sound, he did not produce a sonic boom.
He even had the lingering resonance of his voice to transmit it to Ariana's ears in the form of a line.
"You must understand that my path has been inspired by the Winged Immortal. If I wanted to, I could easily catch up with you."
Krum's words brought Ariana's intelligence back to normal.
With a loud bang, Ariana's Supersonic speed instantly dropped to zero, and she came to a stop in place.
"So you're finally ready for a real fight?" asked Fabian Prewett, who was actually speaking as Krum.
"Heroic Spirits can share the Contractor's [Path]," Ariana said meaningfully, making a seemingly unrelated statement. "Phoebe's [Path], in addition to her highly precise manipulation of magic, also possesses superb senses."
"What do you mean?" 'Krum' frowned.
"There's a third party lurking in the shadows," Ariana said. "Those of you still in the castle can check if Cedric is still there."
"You mean Voldemort is hiding in the shadows?" 'Krum' was taken aback. "That's certainly possible. He should be able to transform into Fantastic Beasts like Cedric. However, what does it matter whether he's there or not?"
In the corridor on the Seventh Floor, Krum scanned the crowd and found that Phoebe and Cedric were not there, only Harry was not far away.
Professor Flitwick and his group arrived and were asking Harry and his friends questions.
"You didn't know?" Ariana asked in surprise. "That's right, you're the only exception among us. Here's a piece of information for you: in this world, Heroic Spirits cannot stray too far from wizards."
Krum breathed a sigh of relief; now, only the young Voldemort was lurking around.
"However, our friends don't seem to be planning to show up yet."
His eyes began to search through the clouds.
There are quite a few Magical Creature that can fly and keep up with their speed, and we cannot rule out those that cannot fly.
Because Transfiguration does not mean you can't use flight magic.
But he was overthinking it.
As his gaze shifted, Riddle emerged from the clouds, showing no intention of remaining hidden indefinitely.
"As expected of Dumbledore's sister, when did you find out?" Riddle looked at Ariana.
Ariana blinked, but still chose to lie, "Your movements were a little unnatural when you were passing through the clouds."
She was afraid Riddle would get angry if she told him the truth.
"I see," Riddle exclaimed. "I almost forgot that in your time, the Golden Flyer was not endangered."
"I'm not familiar with it either."
"I should have used the Diricawl. I'm confident you wouldn't be able to tell."
Ariana suddenly realized that the Jin Guang she had just seen was Riddle.
She didn't expose him, but said seriously, "We have three now, but there's only one Sorting Hat. All you're asking for is contribution points."
"Our mission is to protect the Mother-Child River from destruction."
"In that case, let's broaden our perspective and find a safe place together to set up a magic trap and hide it."
"The degree of contribution depends on our respective magical abilities."
Krum and Riddle nodded. "Good idea."
Ariana, in her unleashed Magic Immortal Artifact state, was too powerful; they were not confident they could take her down without harming the Sorting Hat.
"I disagree," the Sorting Hat declared.
The three ignored him and flew directly along the train tracks toward London, intending to hide somewhere in the wilderness by the roadside.
(Ron exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this fake? How can it talk?")
(Ginny said irritably, "Is it so hard to make a talking fake? Our mirrors can talk.")
("Then the winner will be Harry." Hermione looked at Harry's two screens, but something unexpected happened.)
After Professor McGonagall finished checking the Headmaster's Office and seeing that Dumbledore hadn't returned, she left.
Lily, who was hiding in the ceiling, also left.
There was no intention left to search for the real Sorting Hat.
At the entrance, after listening to everything Harry and his friends had said and exchanging information with Professor McGonagall, the professors, led by Professor Flitwick, began to ponder.
"So that Prophecy could very well be true?"
"So, four people are eyeing a treasure located at Hogwarts?"
"The four of them may have created them, so they can be considered immortals."
Because Harry and the others were present, they didn't say the word "Horcrux" aloud.
"There are already two, no, maybe three."
"And since the three of them failed, the remaining one will make his move before midnight?"
"No, they've already succeeded." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "The Sorting Hat has been stolen. And I only saw two people, a man and a woman. The man had no head, and the woman looked very ordinary. They were both very powerful."
"The Sorting Hat?"
Some professors started lip-reading.
(Dumbledore recognized it, "Sword of Gryffindor?")
("They think that treasure is Sword of Gryffindor?" Professor McGonagall asked in surprise.)
(The Sorting Hat is a magical portal that can be used to obtain another item owned by Godric Gryffindor: the Sword of Gryffindor.)
(This sword has been enchanted by Godric; it will appear whenever any Gryffindor student is wearing a hat and asking for help.)
("How could they think that? Only a true Gryffindor can pull out this sword.")
(In Professor McGonagall's eyes, the Gryffindor could never be bad people, but the professors in this world equate the imagined villains with the person who pulled out the sword, which is very rude.)
"Ordinary-looking?"
(Dumbledore's face darkens, while Aberforth Dumbledore, who is in the Hog's Head Inn, immediately starts cursing, "You're the one who looks average, my sister is the cutest in the world!")
"Has Voldemort already cracked the code?"
Like Professor McGonagall before him, the professors present were reminded of the problem of the Ascended Wizarding Bloodline being broken.
