A Frantic Declaration of War, a Mysterious Boy / The Impostor Flees, Rescue Succeeds

"Harry Potter, I admit you're a tough opponent. In a one-on-one fight, I'm no match for you," the Fake Moody sneered from behind two students. "But who told that idiot Dumbledore to admit you to Hogwarts? With this bunch of burdensome students around, let's see how you stop me today! Flying Accio!!"

"You?!"

Fake Moody suddenly waved his wand again, but to Harry's surprise, this time he pulled a lot of hair from most of the class!

The reason this guy was memorizing the students' appearances from the roster was so that he could use Summoning Charm to grab their hair even without seeing them!

"Now, my mission is completely accomplished!"

The Fake Moody cautiously retreated to the wall with the two students. After using a spell to blast the wall open, the three of them jumped out of the classroom and used the Cushioning and Stopping Spell and land smoothly on the playground.

"You all stay here and don't move! Hermione, go and inform the professors right now!"

Harry only had time to give one last instruction before leaping out of the blasted hole to chase after them.

Chapter 606 A Frenzied Declaration of War, The Mysterious Youth

Damn it!

On the Hogwarts playground, Harry and the Fake Moody faced off tensely, their expressions remaining grave.

After he chased after them, he did launch some probing attacks, but the Fake Moody was unusually alert, and Ron and Neville, who were being controlled by the Imperius Curse, could also attack him with spells, making it difficult for him to get close to his opponent.

After the Fake Moody used the Crucio on Neville, Harry dared not make any further moves.

"Neville Longbottom, those idiot parents were both driven mad by the Crucio... Harry Potter, if you want him to become like that, come at me again!!"

There was nothing Harry could do but endure the threat posed by the Fake Moody.

The other party, holding the two students hostage, moved step by step toward the school gate, never exposing themselves to Harry, and never even making eye contact with Harry.

Time passed by, and news of the Fake Moody taking two students hostage quickly spread throughout the campus.

When he had already walked across most of the playground, Dumbledore finally arrived late with a group of professors... At the same time, there were also the Weasley siblings who had learned of the incident, and some other students who had come just to join in the fun.

"Harry, what exactly happened?" Dumbledore, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at him with intense questioning in his eyes. He clearly believed that the Fake Moody's sudden defection was entirely due to being forced into it by Harry.

"Headmaster, I think we should focus on solving the problem first." Harry rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Of course, I should state upfront that this guy deliberately exposed himself; your so-called surveillance has been completely ineffective."

"What did you say?" Dumbledore moment upon hearing this, somewhat unable to fathom the Fake Moody's thoughts.

He could have easily succeeded in Voldemort plan by simply maintaining his disguise and taking advantage of the Triwizard Tournament, but why...?

"Hmph... Hahahaha!!" But at that moment, the Fake Moody suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Dumbledore, are you wondering why I suddenly exposed myself?" The Fake Moody seemed to see right through Dumbledore's thoughts. "Let me tell you, I'm here to declare war on you! My great master has returned, and even if you know his plans, you can't stop him! Do you see what I have in my hands?!"

He suddenly raised one hand high, revealing his clump of hair to everyone. "You will never know who I really am... From now on, live in fear and suspicion towards everyone around you! Hahaha!!"

"..." Dumbledore's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and a shadow gradually fell over his blue eyes.

His attempt to outsmart everyone backfired spectacularly, resulting in him being ridiculed and having two students kidnapped. It was a humiliating defeat in front of everyone.

Albus Dumbledore's mood at this moment is probably no better than if he had eaten a Bertie Bott's Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans that tasted like boogers.

As for the other professors, although they wanted to help, they dared not make any rash moves in the face of Ron and Neville, who were being controlled by others, and the green light that kept flying out from the Fake Moody's hands.

This scene made Harry sigh inwardly, knowing that he probably wouldn't have a chance to catch this guy today.

Fake Moody was definitely the most formidable Death Eater Harry ever encountered. He was not only insane but also extremely intelligent, often making unexpected moves.

Harry now only hopes that Sirius will make some progress, so that even if that bastard escapes, the real Moody will at least be safe.

"Ron... Oh no!"

Among the students watching the commotion, Ginny was extremely nervous. She subconsciously took two steps forward, but was immediately pulled back by Luna Lovegood behind her.

"You'd better stay here, the farther away from them the better," Luna Lovegood advised matter-of-factly. "In this situation, you'd only be a burden if you went."

"I... I'm not..."

Taken aback by Luna Lovegood's retort, Ginny instinctively wanted to retort, but found that Luna had already left her side with Colin, heading elsewhere to stop the students who wanted to join in the fun.

This is where Luna Lovegood's intelligence surpasses that of most people. While other students, whether related or unrelated, were practically craning their necks to rush forward and risk their lives, Luna Lovegood clearly knew... the fewer students present, the safer Harry's situation would be!

At least, when those professors confronted the Fake Moody, they only needed to worry about their own safety and didn't have to be distracted by whether the students behind them would be targeted by the Killing Curse.

"Ron... Harry, what should I do...?"

Ginny stood alone on the playground, most of the students around her had already left, and Luna Lovegood didn't come looking for her anymore.

A little distance away from her, the Fake Moody, holding Ron and Neville hostage, was almost back at the school gate, Harry, Dumbledore, and the other professors hadn't had a chance to get close.

For a moment, Ginny had no idea where she could go, or what she could do...

But just as she was lost in thought, a strange ripple suddenly appeared at the corner of the castle behind her, and then two boys who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old suddenly appeared there.

"Haha, we did it! Albus, we really did get back to Hogwarts!" one of the blond boys shouted happily.

"But something seems off, Scorpius ..." The child with the same name as the principal glanced at the pocket watch in his companion's hand with a puzzled look, then suddenly slapped his thigh!

"Oh no! Scorpius, you've set the time wrong. The first match of the Triwizard Tournament isn't supposed to start now; it's on November 24th. We're almost three months too early!"

"That's alright, it's not like we can't go back." The blond boy named Scorpius laughed nonchalantly. "Since we're here early, we can gather some information and confirm Cedric Diggory's true appearance. Let's split up and meet up here later."

"Hey, Scorpius..." Albus about to call out to his companion, but the other had already run off in a flurry.

He had no choice but to walk out of the corner of the castle from another direction, only to witness the commotion unfolding on the playground.

"Where is... uh, Lily?"

"Were you calling me just now?" Hearing the voice behind her, Ginny immediately turned around and looked at the strange boy who had suddenly appeared with a puzzled expression.

"Uh... sorry, I mistook you for someone else..."

Seeing the other person's red hair from behind, Albus thought he saw his sister, but then he realized that was impossible!

So, the person in front of you is actually...

Involuntarily, his body suddenly began to tremble slightly.

But for Ginny, the boy in front of her immediately made her wary.

"Who are you? Why do you look so much like Harry, and... and you're wearing Durmstrang's clothes?!"

(P. S. Regarding the issue of a certain "Mischievous Kids" series, according to Wikipedia and many Harry Potter fans, it shouldn't be considered canonical; at most, it's an officially recognized fanfiction. However, Sanmiao opinion is that since the original author agreed to release it to make money, it is naturally a sequel to Harry Potter.)

Chapter 607 Counterfeit Goods Escape, Rescue Successful

Ginny was completely baffled as to why such a person had appeared before her.

The child, slightly taller than himself, appeared to be a fourth-grade student. He had black hair and blue eyes, and aside from not wearing glasses and not having a scar on his forehead, anyone would have thought he was a carbon copy of Harry Potter...

It just lacked the sharpness and wisdom that Harry often saw in it.

What's even more suspicious is that what he's wearing isn't Hogwarts clothing at all... Ginny saw it at the Quidditch World Cup; it should be Durmstrang's uniform, only slightly different in style.

Could it be... he's a spy, in cahoots with that fake professor?!

"You came with that Death Eater impersonated Moody, didn't you?!" Thinking this, Ginny impulsively drew her wand. "Confess now! What are you plotting?! And release Ron and Neville immediately!!"

"What did you say?" Albus stunned. "The Fake Moody... how did he get exposed so early? Uncle and Godfather... no, Ron and Neville were captured too! What's going on?!"

The child who traveled through time is now completely bewildered; the 'plot' unfolding before him is entirely different from the history he knows!

"Answer my question!" Ginny threatened again, her attack spell already poised to be unleashed.

"I..."

Just as the boy was at a loss for what to do, the Fake Moody's voice suddenly came from afar.

"Harry Potter, give up! You can't catch me today!"

The guy's tone was full of exhilaration; he had already stepped out of the school gate with one foot.

"Release them both! And... don't you bastards have any memory? My name... is Harry Granger!!"

Harry's voice followed closely behind, but when Albus heard it, he was completely dumbfounded.

"He... shouldn't he have the surname Potter? Why did he change it to Granger?"

Yeah, if this annoying dad... uh, if his last name is Granger, then what should my last name be?

Besides... Granger should be his aunt's surname, right?

What on earth is happening to this world?!

"Hmph, these two pieces of trash are back to you! Remember this, today is just the beginning. I will definitely help my great master get your... Harry Potter!!"

After his entire body was completely away from the school, the Fake Moody commanded the controlled Ron and Neville to pounce back, while he himself quickly waved his wand and Apparition away from the spot.

By the time Harry and Dumbledore had subdued the two students, the mad Death Eater had already escaped...

"Something's not right...something's all wrong!" Albus muttered incredulously in the distance. "He shouldn't even have the surname Granger! And that Fake Moody ...he shouldn't have been exposed at this time!"

"What the hell are you spouting?" Ginny poked the man's cheek with her wand. "Confess now, are you in cahoots with that imposter or not?!"

"Oh, Mom, I can't explain this to you right now!" Albus out in a fit of anger, but both of them froze on the spot.

"You... what did you just call me?" Ginny was taken aback for a moment, then her face flushed with anger. "Do you think you can get away with saying something like that?"

"I..."

"Expelliarmus!!"

Just as Albus was rendered speechless, a flash of light flew Accio the side and accurately knocked Ginny's wand away, rescuing him from the brink of disaster.

"Albus, let's hurry, time's almost up!" The blond boy Scorpius ran over from a distance, ignoring Ginny beside him, grabbed Albus's wrist and started running like crazy.

"This Time-Turner is too unstable; it only lets us stay here for five minutes. I haven't found Cedric Diggory... and this world is so strange; so many things are different from what we know! How are things on your end?"

"My words..." Albus opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer his friend's question.

He had just encountered his mother from her younger days, only to be mistaken for a spy by her.

He also discovered that his father, whom he disliked, shared the same surname as his aunt.

So... Albus suddenly widened his eyes in horror!

"We don't just have to change the outcome of the Triwizard Tournament, Scorpius... everything in this world is wrong!"

The old Time-Turner in Scorpius's hand began to tremble violently, and the bodies of the two children also began to become illusory at the same time.

Meanwhile, Ginny, who was rushing after them, happened to hear Albus's final exclamation.

"If this continues, not only me, but James, Lily, Hugo, Rose... we will all disappear!!"

The ripples in the space completely disappeared, but the astonishment on Ginny's face, who came running panting from around the corner, never faded.

Did that boy Albus travel from the future to the present using Time-Turner?

He initially called himself Lily, but later switched to calling himself Mom. This wasn't a slip of the tongue; rather... he knew who he was!

So, he is actually...

At that moment, Ginny felt she understood everything.

That boy Albus, he was his future child, and... his child with Harry!

Ginny's face flushed crimson at the thought that she and Harry were getting married in the future, the blush spreading all the way down her neck.

However, her face quickly turned pale again.

Because those two kids just said that everything in this world is wrong!

Therefore, Harry shouldn't have the surname Granger, he shouldn't be so close to Hermione, and she should be Harry's girlfriend and his future wife!

But right now, I'm not even as good as Luna Lovegood, let alone Hermione...

Should we do something to get Harry to pay more attention to us?

Or perhaps, if she could help Harry like Hermione and Luna Lovegood did, he would like her more...

At this moment, Ginny couldn't help but feel anxious and uncertain.
