Triwizard Tournament

"You spotted us just now?"

"When?" Ron asked, a beat slow to realize.

"A creaking sound." Draco looked at Lupin with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Lupin shifted his gaze somewhat awkwardly, then nodded again.

"Didn't you promise me you'd face Tonks properly?"

"Don't you like her?"

"But you—" Faced with Ginny's question, Lupin waved his hand to indicate that he would explain.

"I was out of my mind. I forgot I was Werewolf, and I forgot that this was not the right time." Lupin's face lost all color, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees.

"The right time!"

What is the right time?

"During the time when Voldemort was rampant, did it affect people's farewells, engagements, or even weddings?"

"Is Voldemort about to be resurrected?!"

"So what if he's resurrected tomorrow?"

"My parents got married while they were being chased by Voldemort."

"You're not Werewolf anymore!"

"Don't make me think that my father's friend, a Gryffindor, is a cowardly coward!" Harry gripped his wand tightly, trembling with rage.

Don't you understand?

"I'm a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and I've seen too many of my colleagues disappear: Marlene McKinnon MacKinnon, Benjy Fenwick Fenwick, Edgar Bones Bones, Caradoc Dearborn, and James and Lily!"

"Tonks is Bellatrix Lestrange's niece, so she's considered part of the Black Family."

"Death Eaters kill their entire families when they kill someone. If she's not with me, then she—" Lupin covered his face in anguish.

"One of the Black Family's?"

"The Pure-blood are all relatives. My uncles are Gideon Prewett Prewett and Fabian Prewett. Prewett is dead, but Prewett was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight!"

"Don't tell me it's because they joined the Order of the Phoenix."

"You may not know, Tonks has already applied to Mad-Eye Moody to join the Order of the Phoenix," Ron said, unusually serious.

"I'm going to find that bastard!"

"Moody won't agree, will he!" Lupin's figure seemed to transform into a whirlwind. The next second they saw him, he was already dressed, gripping his wand tightly, his usually gentle eyes filled with a ferocious, predatory look.

"This is Tonks' own choice, just like your choice to stay away from Tonks, presuming it will bring her safety," Harry said coldly.

"Yes, what reason do I have to interfere with her?"

"In what capacity?" Upon hearing this, Lupin slumped onto the bed, his wand tossed aside.

"Is the problem solved?"

"When will Voldemort be resurrected? How much longer?"

"If we're talking about the immediate future, I've told Fred and George to put their business plans on hold—they're planning to open a shop in Diagon Alley and hire a familiar student who graduated this year to manage it." Undoubtedly, only Ron could say something so tactless at this moment.

"I suppose so." Lupin smiled weakly. "Dumbledore estimates it will take a little over a year, shortly after the Triwizard Tournament ends."

Draco was exasperated; before he could even say anything serious, everything was resolved.

"Perhaps that's why Sirius told us not to interfere. Once Tonks becomes a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Lupin will be like he is now." Draco could only offer a concluding remark, indicating that he was also there and had done his part in persuading Lupin to return.

"That's good, then the business plan can continue." Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

Ginny covered her eyes, indicating that she did not have this brother.

"The Triwizard Tournament might not be just a competition. The members from other schools who have come from afar, and those dangerous Care of Magical Creatures, are all here for Voldemort's resurrection," Harry guessed.

"Maybe. Dumbledore has been discussing with Grindelwald whether to change it to a four-way Triwizard Tournament." Lupin shrugged.

"There's another school? Which magic school is it?"

"Castelobruxo, Koldovstoretz, the Mahoutokoro, Uagadou, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Harry emphasized the last part Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and exchanged a glance with Ron was looking over at the same time.

If these participants in the Triwizard Tournament also represent the forces resisting Voldemort, then Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which already has its own kingdom on the moon, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although most people in this school probably don't know about Moon City.

"Weren't there supposed to be 11 magic schools?"

"Why are there only 9?" Ron scratched the back of his head.

"It's a secret. As for the other two magic schools, everyone knows they exist, but their addresses, names, and even when they were established are unknown." Lupin shook his head.

Harry and Ron exchanged another glance.

The library in Moon City mentions that there is a magic school in Moon City.

Harry also knew that there was another one underwater in Atlantis.

"That shouldn't be Koldovstoretz; it's in Russia, and obviously we have nothing to do with it."

"Not to mention the Mahoutokoro in Japan."

"Although Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was built by the descendants of Slytherin, it now has a particularly conservative atmosphere, just like the America Wizarding World."

"The Africa Uagadou is completely different from the magic systems of other countries (they don't use wands), so it's even more impossible."

"Besides the two magic schools we don't know about, there's only Castelobruxo in South America."

"It's also the most likely," Draco suddenly analyzed.

"Why?" Ginny asked curiously.

"Castelobruxo is located deep in the Brazil rainforest. There is a mythical castle there, a square building constructed of golden stone that looks like a temple. The school buildings and grounds are guarded by Caipora."

"Its relationship with Hogwarts is also closer than that with any other magic school."

"Because the two schools shared a method of hiding their locations—to Muggle, castles are just piles of collapsed ruins."

"Castelobruxo's history is about as long as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Wizardry," Lupin said in a cheerful tone.

"I know it." It's Ron!

Ginny, Harry, and even Draco were all stunned.

Lupin's eye twitched slightly when Ron raised his hand.

"Ginny, have you forgotten Bill?"

"He became pen pals with the students at this school."

"At the time, this pen pal also invited Bill to participate in their school's exchange program so that they could talk face-to-face."

"But because my family couldn't afford the travel expenses at the time, I ultimately declined this pen pal."

"Clearly, Bill offended him because of this."

"Bill received a cursed hat from this pen pal, which made his ears wrinkle up." Ron looked at Ginny, puzzled.

"Why can't you be as attentive to your family as I am?" Ron puffed out his chest proudly.
