Gathering and the Upcoming Match

Ryan and the others didn't pay any more attention to Harry and Krum's subsequent conversation.

Ryan buried his head in Phoebe's arms, lost in memories.

That portable mansion was actually originally intended as a gift for Phoebe.

After all, Phoebe will return to France.

It wouldn't be good if Phoebe went back and left the mansion unused, or if she lived there with other women.

But the reason I'm giving this gift today is...

It was all because of a grand party in Kate's shadow world.

Phoebe also participated.

Kate explained that it was to eliminate the stress of exams.

After all, they were already in 7th grade and were taking the NEWTs exam, the highest level of the Wizarding World.

Let's get back to the content of the party.

In that 'Hogwarts', there were four people: Ryan, Kate, Penelope, and Phoebe.

The castle was pitch black, and the hard floors and movable stairs had been replaced with Simmons mattresses.

Ryan plays the villain who breaks into the castle.

Kate and her friends played Hogwarts students who were humiliated after the castle was breached.

Kate has the most roles.

Molly Weasley Weasley, who sacrificed herself for her child.

Narcissa Malfoy, who was extremely proud but could only submit to him.

Lily Evans, brave and fearless, wrestles hand-to-hand with the Demon King.

The Patil Sisters, trapped in their dormitory with nowhere to escape.

During this event, Phoebe also witnessed Kate's abilities.

They also learned about the origins of this Shadow Kingdom.

Then, the gift that Ryan had prepared for so long came in handy.

Harry didn't return to the common room until evening.

He walked to the area he was familiar with, the area where he often spent time in the Third Year.

All I could hear were discussions about today's exam.

"Lisa, I'm definitely done for with the Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning! The missile in front of me is clearly trembling slightly."

"Padma, your anti-technology stance is quite formidable."

Even the bulky and crude Russia -made weapons will be ineffective in the face of your stance.

Not to mention the AIM-120, which is from the America and boasts the highest technological content and is extremely sophisticated. You must be mistaken."

How did you answer the question about why vampires can't be reflected in mirrors?

"Because there is a reflective layer of silver behind the mirror. Pure silver will not interact with cursed vampires."

However, the reflective layer behind the mirror has now been replaced with aluminum.

Therefore, the ability to create an image in a mirror is no longer a reliable indicator of whether someone is a vampire.

"Michael, you did well on your Divination Class, didn't you?"

"Of course, Terry."

I simply said that my father would be leaving me forever next school year, and Professor Trelawney got excited.

His breathing became much heavier.

I even doubt I can get a 0 (excellent) this time.

"Isn't this going too far?"

"Anthony, have you forgotten? My dad ran away the moment I was born! I don't have a dad at all!"

Amidst the noise, Harry found Ron sitting alone.

Not far from him, Ginny and Neville sat facing the entrance, their heads tilted back, seemingly searching for someone.

"Harry, where have you been!" Ginny rushed over to him.

Ron shifted his body, but ultimately remained firmly seated in the chair.

Neville's eyes flashed with the shadow of an ethereal sword, clearly indicating that he was using sword magic to sense Harry's emotions.

Harry sat down in the empty seat they had reserved for him and began to talk about his schedule for the day.

Neville and Ginny both expressed their dissatisfaction afterward.

Ron, who was standing to the side pretending to be invisible, frowned.

Time passed day by day.

We're getting closer and closer to the 24th.

Ginny and the others no longer frequently bring up Harry's 'aiding the enemy' behavior towards Krum.

Similarly, Ron's relationships with them gradually began to heal over time.

Soon, it was the morning of the 24th.

The match was scheduled for the afternoon.

However, the breakfast table in Ravenclaw was already bustling with activity.

The other six long tables are equally impressive.

Because all the exams are over.

Everyone had the leisure to focus their attention on the competition.

Even 7th graders who study so hard they go bald are no exception.

They were actually even crazier.

The existence of the Triwizard Tournament allows them to leave school later than in previous years.

This is especially precious to them.

Because, in the years to come, they probably won't have many opportunities to return here.

Everyone needs to find a job and strive for their future.

I don't know who started it, but it seems like the seventh graders these days are treating the Great Hall like a dance party.

Percy, with red eyes, changed into an outfit that was extremely out of the ordinary for him.

Harry jumped together with several seventh-year students he didn't know.

Among them were even Slytherin students.

Several of his faces have even appeared in brawls between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

But now they seem to have forgotten everything.

They became engrossed in the dance.

Fred and George cheered from the sidelines.

This almost made Harry miss the arrival of the owl that was delivering the message.

Ron again. "Harry, there's an owl!"

Harry only then noticed.

That was a lucky card given to me by Sirius, and it had a paw print stained with ink on it.

According to Lupin, this was something Sirius would always give James during his games.

Before mastering Animagus, it's hand gestures; later, it becomes claw gestures.

This means that he James the game.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, looking at Harry had been standing still since receiving the lucky card.

"Nothing?" Harry shook his head.

He was actually just thinking about what would happen if his father were alive today.

Sirius might very well do what Ron did not long ago.

After a brief shudder at the crazy idea, he looked up and saw Professor McGonagall walking toward the Ravenclaw table.

"Harry, Champion, gather in the meeting room next to the Great Hall after breakfast," she said.

"But the game doesn't start until the afternoon!" Harry accidentally spilled scrambled eggs on himself, thinking he had misremembered the time.

"I know, Harry," said Professor McGonagall. "The Champion's relatives have been invited to watch the final match, and you can meet them."

Oh, Ginny, you can come too.

As for Ron, you'd better not go.

She walked away.

Harry stared blankly at her retreating figure. "She hasn't forgotten that my mother has always been at Hogwarts, and I can visit her anytime, has she?"

He asked Ginny blankly.

"I don't know," Ginny said. "We can just go see him together in a bit."

Ron: "I'd better not go. Could it be Mom?"

Ron was a little uneasy.

He still remembers the Howler the night the exams ended.

Fortunately, the Howler was delayed and was accompanied by a normal message—telling him to go to an empty classroom.

Otherwise, he would definitely be killed.

"If you think about it that way, it is indeed possible."

Mom still doesn't want to see your face.

And Ginny's ears turned red. "Harry and I are engaged."

My mother is indeed part of Harry's family.

Regarding Ginny and Ron's words.

Harry just gave a dry laugh.

After finishing breakfast in the gradually quieting Great Hall, he and Ginny walked hand in hand into the conference room.
