Vincent and Viktor Krum, both names have the meaning of "conquest" and "victory".

Aside from their names, the two are very similar in many ways.

Equally outstanding, equally popular, and equally core members of the team.

The match featuring the two main characters ended exceptionally quickly, so quickly that Draco, who was lucky enough to be on Vincent's side, didn't even have a chance to cause any trouble before it was over.

150:150, two incredible new records.

Viktor Krum successfully caught the Golden Snitch at 2 minutes and 32 seconds to end the game, but Vincent had already scored 15 goals at 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

A draw, it was a draw!

This outcome surprised everyone; however, outside of the competition, the winner had already been decided between the two.

After the race, Viktor Krum shook hands with Vincent with a hint of regret, saying, "If I could be two seconds faster, I could have won this race."

Vincent beamed with confidence. "If I had two more seconds, I should have been able to score another goal."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then both laughed from the bottom of their hearts.

"Wayne, I've played countless games and met countless Chaser. I dare say your scoring ability is absolutely world-class."

Riding the Rascal Rabbit 2.0, which is even more powerful than the Firebolt, Vincent rampaged through the entire arena, and no one could stop him.

"Even the World's Number One Seeker isn't coming."

Viktor Krum defeated the Golden Snitch in 2 minutes and 32 seconds. If this were an official competition, he would have made history.

There was no extra time, and the match ended in a draw.

Although the lucky selected players and the audience were somewhat disappointed, Vincent and Viktor Krum's performances were still commendable.

The complete match video quickly became a hit after being uploaded to dubidubi, and was regarded by Quidditch fans as the most exciting match of the year.

On the morning of June 30th,

Beauxbatons' carriage and Durmstrang's ship quietly departed, and the Hogwarts students boarded the school bus after breakfast.

A lot has happened this academic year, but this is not the end, but a new beginning.

As the red steam locomotive departed, Rita had a live video call with Dumbledore.

One of them was in Wayne Media's office, and the other was in the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Dumbledore, there are many voices questioning whether your duel with the You-Know-Who was faked. Do you have anything to say about that?"

On the first basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge stared in horror at the projection screen in front of him.

In the video, Dumbledore smiles and looks at the camera. "There's only one thing I want to say. The current Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, has asked me not to talk about what happened that night for the time being."

Fudge immediately opened the Magical Communicator and initiated a communication with Dumbledore.

In the live stream, he abruptly hung up the call, saying, "Six days have passed since that night, which I think is long enough."

Undeterred, Fudge tried to contact him again, but the call was quickly disconnected.

Dumbledore, turning back to the camera. "Everything that happened that night was real, I—"

Although the live stream was forcibly interrupted, the wizards had already received their answer.

Since the duel is real, then Voldemort's return is not fake.

Hiss—Countless wizards watching the live stream gasped simultaneously.

The Hogwarts Express, Vincent in Compartment W closed the projection screen with satisfaction.

He looked at his friends and said, "I knew this would be the result. Luckily, Professor Dumbledore spoke up first."

Everyone fell silent, even the twins looked serious.

The Ministry of Magic had been unwilling to admit the truth, but with Dumbledore's confirmation, they had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling they were.

However, things did not develop in the direction expected.

A group of Auror, specializing in fighting Dark Magic, were already waiting at King's Cross Station. Hogwarts Express arrived, they boarded the train and went to Compartment W.

Kingsley, who was leading the team, opened the door expressionlessly. "Mr. Wayne, based on the urgent arrest warrant issued by the department, we need to take you back to assist with the investigation."

The group of friends immediately went wild.

The twins and Cedric stood in front of Vincent, demanding, "What arrest warrant? Which specific law did he violate?"

Kingsley raised his hand to signal the Auror not to make a move. "The Eleventh Decree, the Information Security Act."

There are only ten laws in total, and I'd never even heard of this Information Security Law before; it's clearly a newly enacted law.

No, it wasn't even promulgated.

Vincent gently patted Hermione's hand that was wrapped around his arm. "It's alright, Professor Dumbledore is there to take care of things."

Hermione let go of his hand and watched with concern as he walked up to Kingsley.

"Mr. Wayne."

"Mr. Shacklebolt."

Vincent turned around and looked behind him. "Let's go on a trip together in a few days."

"Good!"

Kingsley personally used Apparition to take him away, and the remaining Auror also left one after another.

This incident occurred as soon as the train arrived at the station, and the students who witnessed it discussed it amongst themselves, speculating whether it was related to the live broadcast that had just been interrupted.

"Those idiots at the Ministry of Magic!" Fred slammed his fist into the cubicle door, leaving a dent that clearly showed his fist. "To hell with the information security law! This is blatant abuse of power!"

George was also indignant. "It must have been Fudge who ordered it. That idiot is always scheming and fighting amongst himself. Professor Dumbledore confirmed the authenticity of the duel, how dare they take him away?"

Daphne sighed softly, "This shows that the Ministry of Magic is truly determined to cover this up at all costs, and Professor Dumbledore is probably doing the same..."

Hermione took a deep breath, the worry in her eyes gradually fading. "Vincent is just assisting with the investigation, he's not being convicted. He'll be back soon."

She's right. Vincent isn't an ordinary wizard, and it won't be easy to convict him, especially with Dumbledore involved.

At Platform 9 3/4, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne remained calm after hearing that their beloved son had been taken away by Auror from the Ministry of Magic.

After Evelyn thanked everyone, she pulled Hermione aside and whispered a few words to her.

Eric said a brief greeting to his fathers, then left with Evelyn in a car; the couple's destination was presumably the Ministry of Magic.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore was far away at Hogwarts, was also brought to the Ministry of Magic to assist in the investigation, and he even met Vincent before entering the interrogation room.

The two looked at each other in silence and went into their respective interrogation rooms.

A few minutes later, Kingsley and Scrimgeour also went inside.

The room was very dark, and the kerosene lamp on the table could barely illuminate Vincent's face.

He remained calm, which gave Kingsley, sitting opposite him, the illusion that he was the one being interrogated.

"Ahem—" Kingsley took out a thick stack of parchment. "Mr. Wayne, this is the information security legislation that the department has just drafted. You can take a look at it first."

Vincent pushed the parchment handed to him back. "No need. If I'm not mistaken, this is a law specifically made for me, isn't it?"

Kingsley shifted his posture somewhat awkwardly. "No one will hear our conversation."

He paused, his expression turning serious. "Fudge has gone mad. He took it upon himself to issue arrest warrants for you and Dumbledore."
