I'm on the Second Level, Stark's in the Atmosphere!

Except for the inability to transform into Magical Creatures, Animagus is very similar to the Patronus Charm in other aspects.

For example, its form also depends on the wizard's physique, temperament, emotions, inner self, and many other abstract concepts.

Therefore, the fact that "Cedric confidently declared he would become a badger, but instead became a dog"... says a lot.

Characteristics of dogs:

Honest and kind?

Highly vigilant?

Nothing more... just licking your lips.

Cedric was still struggling. He insisted that he was a wolf... a handsome Arctic wolf.

It has absolutely nothing to do with huskies!

Wolves and huskies do look very similar, but the differences are still quite obvious.

Putting everything else aside, could you please stop wagging your tail and sticking out your tongue every time you see autumn?

And you still say you're not a simp?

However, since Cedric strongly opposed it, William thought... let Fluffy have a taste, a taste.

Let Cedric turn into a "wolf" and stay here to sleep for one night.

If Cedric is fine tomorrow morning, he's definitely a wolf. If his butt hurts, he's definitely a dog.

Simple and clear.

After struggling until well past midnight, Cedric finally managed to master the technique. He was covered in sweat, as if he had just gone through a difficult childbirth.

"Let's go." William looked at Cedric. "Are you able to walk? Do you need me to conjure up a stretcher for you?"

Cedric shook his head and said, "No, I just feel hot all over and my limbs feel weak."

I'm going to take a bath in the Prefects' Bathroom.

Are you two going?

William and Cho both quickly shook their heads, indicating their refusal.

Cedric was somewhat disappointed... it seemed his luck had run out.

It would be good if someone could go with him.

The night was deep, the sea and sky stretched endlessly, and the waves crashed violently against the coastline.

A wizard shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared and walked to the edge of the rock.

The rocks had many jagged crevices for stepping on, leading down to the cliff face below.

Climbing down from here is very dangerous, especially tonight with the storm raging.

The wizard hesitated for a long time, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Or perhaps, he simply didn't want to go down.

But some force compels him to climb straight down the slippery cliff.

Halfway up the mountain, a gust of wind blew off his hood, revealing a weathered face.

The face was unremarkable, but strangely, there was a handsome face on the back of the head.

Tom felt the biting wind blowing, but he showed no sign of stopping and continued to order the man to climb down.

During the Quidditch World Cup, he searched tirelessly in this area for almost three months.

There's nothing we can do about it.

In the summer of his sixteenth year, he killed his father, obtained the Slytherin's Ring, and framed his uncle.

Then, a diary was created as the first Horcrux.

At the time, although he wasn't sure how many Horcrux a person could make, he had already figured out the vessel for the second Horcrux.

Therefore, it's only natural that Tom was able to find the ring.

But he knew nothing about the Horcrux that followed, whether in number, their carriers, or their locations.

The only way to find the orphanage was to try and figure out what the future would think.

Unfortunately, the orphanage was long gone. Tom searched for months before finally finding a clue at this stretch of coastline he had visited as a child.

Tom has already taken the ring. He only needs to obtain the second Horcrux to fully launch the plan and then go to find that being.

If he finds that being, he can make up for the lost time and reach his peak... even stronger than Voldemort himself.

The thought of this overwhelmed him with excitement.

However, breaking through Voldemort's magic and successfully entering the cave was not so easy.

Although his future self is foolish, his decades of magical skill are far beyond what sixteen-year-old Tom could ever achieve.

He came several times but couldn't break through... This time he finally found a way.

Tom knew that Dumbledore and Stark were also looking for Horcrux, but he was clearly one step ahead again.

Ha~ The two of them will always be left eating his dust!

He was feeling smug when he suddenly felt he had lost his balance.

As the storm raged and the cliffs were soaked with rainwater, the wizard suddenly slipped.

His body swayed precariously, his hands hovering in the air; as he fell, one hand grabbed the cliff face, and the other immediately followed, leaving him suspended in mid-air.

Below was the sea, so deep that it made the man dizzy.

The wind blew, and he hung from the end of the rock, swinging back and forth like a stone on a catapult.

"Wand!" Tom urged patiently. "Use magic quickly."

The wizard gripped the rock face with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other.

A moment later, he cried out with a mournful face, "I... I fell down, Master!"

"..."

"Why don't you fall down yourself!" Tom said angrily.

"You idiot!" He gradually transformed into Voldemort, and couldn't help but curse.

The wizard's strength gradually waned, and his arms hung straight in the air, convulsing violently.

He tried to climb upwards, but each effort only increased his own turbulence.

Two seconds later, a gust of wind blew, and he fell.

First, the back of his head hit a rock, his body bounced up, his lower body hit a pine tree growing along a crack in the rock, and his head got stuck in a crevice in the rock, making a braking motion with the back of his head.

This happened repeatedly until he tumbled down like a yo-yo, crashing spectacularly into the sea.

Aaaaaaah!

The torrential rain lasted all night, and the water level of Black Lake rose considerably.

Thanks to the repairs done at the beginning of the semester, Professor Sprout's greenhouse is still thriving.

However, Durmstrang was in trouble; their ship was not fully repaired and still had holes in many places.

The most embarrassing thing is... the anchor is gone!

The large ship, without its anchor, swayed and bumped around on the Black Lake, like an uncontrollable spinning top.

After such a terrifying experience, none of the students could sleep in the middle of the night. Everyone was panicked, feeling that the ship was about to sink.

But no one went to Headmaster Karkaroff.

Headmaster Karkaroff was an eccentric man; he never liked being disturbed while he was sleeping.

Not only is he grumpy when he wakes up, but he also has a habit: he likes to kill people in his dreams.

Once, a student woke him up and almost got Cruciatus Curse.

Fortunately, the ship didn't sink, but it was even more damaged. The storm stopped the next day, and everyone quickly took refuge in the castle.

Headmaster Karkaroff still did not appear.

It wasn't until the morning that people realized he was missing.

The first to discover it was not Durmstrang's student, but Snape.

Karkaroff comes to see him every day, and lately he's been coming even more frequently.

But he didn't come today. So either he got the details for the First Task, or he ran away.

Finally, a kind person provided a clue, and the students found him in a hospital bed at the Hospital Wing.

What exactly is wrong with you?

"In the Potions Office, "Professor Snape asked in a low voice.

"I was attacked by those damned Centaur!" Karkaroff roared.

"You insulted them?" Snape squinted.

"I was just telling the truth." Karkaroff twirled his goatee with his fingers.

"So how did you get back?" Snape asked. "How did you end up in the Hospital Wing?"

"It must be Hagrid and Maxime," Karkaroff said uncertainly.

"They probably spotted me, but didn't want anyone else to know. They went to check out the First Task, so they dropped me off at the Hospital Wing and ran."

Snape frowned. Karkaroff's words made sense, but something still felt off.

"Did you even see the contents of the First Task?" he asked impatiently.

Karkaroff pondered for a long time, seemingly recalling what happened last night.

After what seemed like an eternity, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, I remember it very clearly... I was with Hagrid and Maxime."

"If it weren't for those Centaur, I would have definitely found the location."

"That's troublesome, the match is tomorrow." Snape said gloatingly, "Anyway, there are only two Slytherin students, so I'm not too worried..."

"I'll go search the Forbidden Forest again," Karkaroff said urgently.

"The Forbidden Forest is so vast, where are you going to find it? Those Centaur are probably looking for you right now!"

"What should we do then?"

Snape remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "We can go to Shidake and buy information... he definitely knows the details of the First Task."

Karkaroff was stunned.

"However, you need to be careful. Prepare plenty of Galleon; he definitely won't let this opportunity pass him by..."

The chance to rip you off...

Snape didn't say the last few words.

Hogwarts Great Hall

At the Ravenclaw dining table,

"Stark, I want to buy information! About the First Task..." Malfoy glanced around and said urgently.

"Oh, sure," William said with a sly smile.

"But this price is very expensive... much more expensive than buying a spot."

Money... is not a problem!

Malfoy gritted his teeth and said.

He regretted it; he should have never become Champion!

William picked up his teacup and took a sip. He had already seen Karkaroff approaching.

He was prepared; he handed over a document and said with a smile:

"Principal, do you want to buy it in bulk, or by the quantity?"

"What is a package deal? It means you buy the right to know about nine Champion at once, and I'll give you a discount!"

However, if you only buy one intelligence package, you can only be informed of the project details to one Champion. The Champion must also sign an agreement not to disclose it to others.

If you buy more than five spots, the price will exceed the package price, so I recommend you buy the whole package for a better deal.

Karkaroff was stunned by what he was told.

Damn, he bought an intelligence package, but he can't tell everyone, he can only tell one student?

Even if we buy five intelligence packs... what's that enough for? They have nine Champion!

Shady businessman!

He suddenly understood why Durmstrang had more spots than other schools.

He initially thought he had gotten a good deal, with Stark on the first floor and Durmstrang on the second.

So, they're in the atmosphere!
