Chapter 298 296. The door that was opened
Dumbledore's promise is undoubtedly extremely guaranteed.
Since he said that Jon will definitely be able to do it today, there must be no mistakes. This also made many students who were worried about Jon's safety feel relieved at this time.
After chatting with the students, Dumbledore began to tell them with a very solemn face, the next specific matters about the selection of the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Students in the first and second grades cannot participate. Your study time is too short, and there is no way to conduct such a high-intensity competition. Whether students in the third grade or above participate is entirely up to you. If you want to sign up, please send your own The name is written on a slip of paper and thrown into the burning cup in the middle of the banquet hall."
Following Dumbledore's narration, the students of Hogwarts all turned their gazes to the large, roughly carved wooden goblet in the middle of the banquet hall, which was full of dancing blue and white flames.
At this time, the pure-blood students belonging to that Hogwarts castle are lining up to throw their names into the cups.
After those children saw that the students on Dumbledore's side were looking in their direction, many of them raised their heads provocatively.
Only George and Fred grimaced at their gesture.
"This cup is the referee for the selection. It has a history of hundreds of years. In the previous Triwizard Tournament, the warrior candidates of each school were also recommended by it. Of course, this time is no exception. You throw your name into it In the future, it will throw out the list of personnel it thinks is suitable at eight o'clock tonight, and at that time, an unbreakable contract will be established. No matter who is selected, they must participate in the next round. Competition. That is to say, everyone who wants to throw their name into that cup must be absolutely mentally prepared, because as long as they are selected from that moment on, no one can turn back."
Dumbledore's voice was very serious, and after listening to his narration, everyone present became very serious.
"We need Jon!"
Fred had never said such words in such a solemn manner.
After hearing his speech, no one of the students felt unconvinced, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"As long as Jon is selected, the champion will definitely be ours!"
They said with eloquence.
Dumbledore looked at them, neither agreed nor refuted, just said calmly.
"I have never doubted Jon's ability, but you can't rely on him for everything. This is a very bad habit. Children, think about it, if one day there is no Jon by your side Help you, can you do better?"
His words made many people panic for no reason.
Every student here knows very well that if there is no Jon, not only will there be about one-fifth of the people sitting here now, but they also don't know what kind of danger they will experience on the sea.
"Even if there are excellent people leading you, don't forget that the person who can help you the most is actually only you."
Even on such an occasion, Dumbledore did not forget his duty as a teacher to teach the students. Students from the other three schools had already put their names in the Goblet of Fire one after another.
There were flashing lights constantly, and countless newspapers from different regions in the banquet hall would take photos when each student threw his name into the cup, capturing this memory that is unforgettable even in the long history. A moment of great significance.
This selection of warriors will last for one day until the results come out at eight o'clock.
In front of the students at Hogwarts Castle, Voldemort still sat on the main seat in an understatement. Before the final result came out, the Ministry of Magic still belonged to him, and this banquet hall was also his home court.
Wizards are constantly trying to get close to him to get close to him. If there is a Ministry of Magic that supports Dumbledore's Wuping Line, there must be a government that supports Voldemort's pure-blood supremacy.
These people don't necessarily want Voldemort to rule their area, but they have some ideas about using his theories to gain power for themselves or the interest groups they belong to.
For these people, Voldemort seemed to always come to them. He chatted and laughed happily with a group of diplomats from the Ministry of Magic. The tragic appearance of walking into the Ministry of Magic with blood all over his body.
What will be held on this day is not only a ceremony for the election of warriors, but also a social banquet.
Judging from the attitudes of the current Ministry of Magic governments, even though the Wuping Line led by Dumbledore has achieved extremely impressive results, the vast majority of people still feel that they have mastered the entire United Kingdom and legally occupied France in name. Voldemort has the advantage.
In particular, this Triwizard Tournament was proposed by Voldemort himself. No one would think that this powerful man would make fun of himself. Since he is confident and willing to end the war in this way, there must be rely.
On Dumbledore's side, the magical governments of Norway and Finland in Northern Europe are more inclined to Grindelwald than to him.
They support the Wuping Line side only because of Grindelwald, and only a small part of them really support Dumbledore from the bottom of their hearts.
Because it has been nearly ten years of silence, even if Dumbledore seems to be making a comeback now, no one thinks that he has much chance of success.
The bouncing fire warmed the entire resplendent hall. Some people had fun smiles on their faces, some had sarcasm on their faces, some were thinking with silent frowns, and some looked back at the past with regret.
While the banquet hall of the French Ministry of Magic was so lively, under the Arctic ice thousands of miles away, Jon was making final preparations.
He let Gabriel hide directly in the petrified Nick's body, so as to prevent her from being hit by the death curse that may be denser than raindrops later.
And Jon himself tied Nick behind him. This is the only way he can resist the death curse now.
Fortunately, Nick is an adult ghost. He is taller than Jon and can perfectly cover all the blind spots behind Jon.
After getting everything ready, Jon stared at the bronze door just behind Rodolphs, and took a deep breath.
In the next second, he uttered the universal curse spell in a very soft voice, allowing the effect of this magic to adhere to his whole body, and then strode forward, and after three quick steps, he suddenly tore off the invisibility mask on his body. Clothes!
When he started to take a step, the two Death Eaters closest to him heard the movement.
They stood up vigilantly in an instant, and before they could look at the source of the movement, a gust of wind-like figure suddenly passed by them!
Jon didn't use the Levitation Charm to fly himself up directly. With enemies all around him and the space above him extremely small, if he flew into the air, he would simply be a target for the enemy.
In an instant, Jon felt that the surrounding temperature was rising significantly, and after he passed the two Death Eaters who were closest to him, he was only less than five meters away from the bronze gate. !
"Avada Kedavra!"
He heard the voice of the death eater who had already reacted behind him chanting the death curse, but he didn't have the slightest intention to dodge or resist!
Three miserable green rays of light that belonged exclusively to the Death Curse illuminated the entire space under the ice, and flew straight to Jon's back!
"boom!"
There was a sound more like two hard objects colliding together, three Kedavra curses, one hit Nick's terrified face, and two landed on his round belly!
Not only did the death curse not bring effective damage to Jon, but the force brought by the spell also formed a kind of thrust, increasing his forward speed!
At this time, he had already crossed more than half of the distance between himself and the bronze door, and Rodolphs, who was guarding the door, finally reacted at this time!
He stared at Jon's face, his eyes were full of ferocity and hatred, and he raised his wand without any hesitation in the movements of his hands!
What spell he was going to use next, Jon could think of it without guessing.
At such a short distance, coupled with the lack of any protection in front of him, as long as Rodolphs' Killing Curse is used, Jon is almost certain to die.
But when Rodolphs was halfway through the spell, Jon didn't have any intention of avoiding it at all, so he put his body directly in front of the tip of his wand!
"Avada"
"Snapped!"
A loud slap was slapped on Rodolphs' haggard and pale face with incomparable precision!
The remaining half of the killing spell that has been recited can no longer be recited, and the green light that had already flashed on the tip of the staff disappeared completely!
The huge force caused Rodolphs' whole body to tilt in the direction of Jon's slap, and at this moment, Jon's hand holding the wand began to stretch forward, less than 20 centimeters away. You can touch the bronze door at a distance.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A sharp, ear-piercing female voice suddenly sounded from the right side of his body!
The green light beam that was much brighter than the Death Curse used by others, the moment the spell sounded, Jon's brain began to spin crazily!
The golden light of Fox's arrival has been lit, but it is definitely not enough to take him away before the death curse falls on him.
Although his reaction was fast enough to deflect his body at the same time the spell was shot from Bella's wand, this time was definitely not enough for him to dodge the spell.
Now using the levitation spell can make him rise into the air quickly, but if he has mastered the skill of silently chanting the spell, it's okay, as long as he chant the spell, the time must be too late!
Such a situation seemed to have driven Jon into a dead end, but immediately, he changed his mind!
Since there is not enough time to cast the spell, let's lift the spell!
Just following his thoughts, the floating spell that was originally attached to him and helped him reduce gravity was instantly released!
The next moment, with the return of normal gravity, Jon's whole body suddenly fell, and he deviated half a body compared to the original!
This is the half body, the death curse that was supposed to hit the waist of his body, just hit the protruding belly of Nick who was carried on his back!
The huge momentum brought by the death curse knocked Jon's body into the air, and deflected the hand he stretched out towards the door. Instead, his whole body hit the door directly, making a dull groan. sound.
But the door didn't move at all, and there was no intention of opening the door for Jon at all.
This made Jon feel disappointed, but his disappointment didn't last long. The moment he fell from the door to the ground, he supported the old bronze door with both hands and stood up from the ground. .
The sound of countless killing spells sounded again, Jon didn't look back, Nick turned to the enemy, and he had already heard the pleasant clear sound of Fox's arrival.
If you can’t open it, you can’t open it, anyway, this time the harvest is enough.
As soon as this idea came up in his mind, the tips of the Death Eaters' wands also lit up with dense green light like raindrops, just when Fox's claws were about to touch his shoulder.
The bronze door, which was originally as dead as a stone, suddenly opened inward!
Facing it, Jon, who was leaning on the door with all his strength, staggered a bit, passed Fox's claws, and fell directly into the door with Nick and Gabriel!
Fox was in a hurry. It flapped its wings and wanted to fly through the door with Jon. However, the second Jon fell through the door, the bronze door suddenly closed again, and Fox, who had already flown halfway, was shot. Fly out!
There was a crackling sound, and all the death curses that flew towards Jon all fell on the door, and in the end, not even a little bit of it fell off.
All the Death Eaters who saw this scene were stunned.
Including Rodolphs, they all turned their attention to Bella.
"Didn't you say that no one can enter this door except the master!"
Hearing his questioning, Bella's face was completely pale, and her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
She didn't answer Rodolphs' question, but walked quickly to the bronze door, knocking on the door, but the old bronze door didn't intend to open to her at all.
"Impossible! Impossible! No one can open the door the master said, it belongs to that person, and no one is qualified to open it except for that person's descendants!"
