Barty Crouch Jr. was guarded in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, but he didn't seem to live long, and Professor McGonagall rushed over to find Dumbledore angrily.

"Albus! I can't stand it!" cried Professor McGonagall.

"What's the matter, Minerva?" Dumbledore had just come out of Harry's ward.

Professor McGonagall pointed to Cornelius Fudge next to him, "Ask him! He recruited dementors into the school! Those things were straight away, and he gave Barty Crouch Jr. a kiss!"

"Oh!" Dumbledore was surprised, "Why did you do this, we still have something to ask him."

"I have to!" screamed Fudge. "He's the Death Eater. He planned tonight's attack. He killed Diggory!"

Dumbledore's face turned cold, "Connelly, I thought you heard it very clearly, it was Voldemort who planned this, and he has returned now, you have to accept this fact, we need to take some measures immediately. "

Fudge's face began to contort, and he yelled almost hysterically, "You don't want to spread these rumors! The mysterious man is dead, and he can't come back! As the Minister of Magic, I will never allow anyone to spread such words!"

"If you insist on this, Connelly, then we will have to part ways," Dumbledore said sullenly, "I will do things according to my own will."

Fudge trembled a bit, stronger than he trembled when he heard the mysterious man's name, "You, you, why are you confronting me?"

Dumbledore stared at him seriously, "I will only fight against Voldemort. If you are willing to accept the fact that he is back, then we are still together."

"No, no," Fudge's face began to twist again, "he won't come back, you don't want to spread these rumors, I won't allow..."

Fudge walked away tremblingly, but after a few steps he turned around again and dropped a bag that seemed to be full of gold coins, "To Harry Potter, his bonus, you have to be careful, Albus, I will not allow you to spread those rumors that disturb people's hearts..."

"I'm afraid he has gone crazy." Sirius smiled mockingly at Fudge's back.

"I guess Harry should have woken up after he made such a fuss?" Dumbledore knocked on Harry's door, and there were several knocks on the table from inside.

"We need to talk about something," said Dumbledore. "Oh, you've come just in time, Severus."

Snape happened to be walking this way, and he passed Fudge, but he obviously didn't see the distressed Fudge in his eyes, he stared at Sirius, Sirius just glanced at him, and then entered the ward went.

After 1 minute, everyone gathered around Harry's hospital bed.

"Fudge will affect some judgments of the Ministry of Magic, so we need to contact Arthur," Dumbledore looked at Mrs. Weasley, "He wants to gather the power that can be gathered in the Ministry of Magic, but he must do it secretly, not Find out by Connelly, he can't lose his job at the Ministry of Magic."

"Well, I'll definitely tell him." Mrs. Weasley nodded.

But her son was much smarter than her, and Bill stood up, "I'll go and get in touch with Dad right away, and ask him to get in touch with other people in the Ministry of Magic right away, preferably before Fudge goes back."

Dumbledore glanced at him approvingly, "Then, I'll leave it to you, Bill."

"Sirius, I need you to find those old members, we have to gather again," Dumbledore looked at Sirius, "you have to be careful, those supporters of Voldemort have already started to move, as for West Forrest, do you know what I want you to do?"

There seemed to be a flash of pain in Snape's eyes, but he nodded anyway, and he and Sirius left the ward together.

"And the truth must be known to the world," Dumbledore looked at Luna this time, "The "Daily Prophet" obviously won't tell the truth, so..."

"Papa will definitely publish the truth!" Luna said quickly.

Dumbledore finally had a smile, "Well, I will also write to Xenophilius, Molly, can you go and call Hagrid for me? Also find Madam Maxime and let them go My office, I'll be there in a minute."

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to have something to say to the group of children, Mrs. Weasley nodded and left.

"As for you, you have to be clear that although Connelly disagrees with me, he is fully qualified to control some things at Hogwarts, so no matter what happens, I hope you can stick to this school and believe in what I say. What I said, what I did."

"Of course we believe you!" Harry said anxiously.

"Thank you, Harry." Dumbledore smiled, and he blinked again. "Perhaps it won't be too difficult. I have invited a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I'm sure you will all like him."

"Who is he talking about?" Ginny couldn't help asking after Dumbledore left.

Harry finally grinned, "Don't ask, it's Sirius!"

The next day, the whole of Hogwarts was enveloped in a depressive atmosphere, and Durmstrang's students seemed afraid to show up, because their headmaster, Karkaroff, escaped last night and confirmed that he was a cannibal Dead Apostles.Hagrid and Madam Maxime walked together very seriously, as if they had received a big task from Dumbledore.

At the last breakfast in the auditorium, Dumbledore announced the news of Voldemort's return to everyone, which was obviously unacceptable to everyone, but Dumbledore still solemnly finished telling the story of Harry and Cedric.

"We must never forget Cedric Diggory, he is the eternal hero of Hogwarts," Dumbledore raised the glass in his hand, "we must never forget the fact that Voldemort has returned, we must Be prepared."

On the Hogwarts train, Luna, Hermione, and Ginny came out of the dining car. They hugged a bunch of snacks and prepared to take them back to share with the boys who had been in a bad mood because of Cedric. , but those snacks were used elsewhere.

"You know, my dad..." It was Draco Malfoy's voice.

The three girls stopped in their tracks, and Malfoy and his two followers naturally saw the girls coming towards them, but they had no intention of stopping.

It would have been fine if they had just passed by like this, but when the three boys approached, they said an unclean word, it was Crabbe, and he gave Hermione a look and cursed, "Mudblood! "

Before Hermione could speak, and before Luna could react, Ginny threw everything in her arms and drew out her wand almost at the same time!

"Dizzy!" Ginny's movements were dizzyingly fast, but it seemed that because of her emotional excitement, her spell missed the three of Malfoy.

Draco Malfoy was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked at Ginny who was about to explode, and sneered, "Poor man, that's not how wands are played."

As soon as he finished speaking, Crabbe and Goyle beside him took out their wands.

At this moment, neither Luna nor Hermione could calm down anymore, she threw the snacks in her arms almost at the same time.

"Hot and hot!" This was the spell Hermione yelled, she was more accurate than Ginny, and the spell went straight at Malfoy!

It was Crabbe who fell to the ground as if his whole body was on fire, and Malfoy escaped in a very dangerous way.

"Cruciate!" Goyle yelled the incantation, pointing his wand at Luna!

"Layers of protection!" Luna cast a protective spell in time, and at the same time Hermione's wand was also pointed at Goyle, causing him to fall unconscious in the next second.

Hermione gasped, and she stood in front of Luna and Ginny, "You're the only one left! Malfoy! The Unforgivable Curse? Why, can't wait to prove your identities?"

Goyle used the Cruciatus Curse on Luna just now, which is the Unforgivable Curse, and decent wizards will not use it, and if you use that spell, you will be sent to Azkaban.

Draco Malfoy looked a bit taken aback, and he didn't seem to have expected Goyle to use the spell, but now he was left alone, one wand against three, which wasn't a good situation.

"Draco? Are you here?" A voice suddenly sounded from not far behind Malfoy, as if someone was coming.

Ginny was the first to move, a beam of light from her wand shot straight at Malfoy!

With a bang, two magical rays collided in the air, and Malfoy's spell counteracted Ginny's attack, and then several people came quickly.

Hermione subconsciously leaned closer to Luna and Ginny behind them. Those who came were senior Slytherin boys. They obviously noticed the current situation. If there was a fight, the three girls had little chance of winning .

"What do you want to do?" A Slytherin boy raised his wand to Hermione who was standing in the front.

"I'm the one asking what you want to do!" Another angry voice came from behind the Slytherins.

This made the girls very excited, because the voice was so familiar, it was Harry's!He and Ron and the twins rushed over!

But in the end, the fight did not continue, because the lady pushing a cart selling all kinds of food came over, and she was shocked when she saw the situation here.

"Children, aren't you fighting?"

"Hurry up, it's none of your business here." A Slytherin said bluntly.

Perhaps it was because the person who came was just a cart seller, so no one was afraid of her, and everyone still held up their wands and waited for them.

"Forget it, don't bother with them anymore, let's go." Draco Malfoy frowned first and put down his wand.

"Draco?"

"Go back to the carriage." Malfoy repeated impatiently.

Under the angry gaze of the girl pushing the cart, Luna and the others also returned to the carriage.

Ginny and Hermione still looked angry, and seemed to want to fight the Slytherins again.Luna only felt sorry. She originally thought that Draco Malfoy was still a cute person except for his distaste for Muggles, but his father was a Death Eater. If he was proud of his father If you think it is an honor to help the mysterious person, then Luna is naturally unwilling to approach him again.

"Well, don't be mad, girls," said Fred, "you've given them a hard time!"

"By the way, let me show you something." George took out a glass bottle, which contained a fat beetle.

Luna glanced at it, and really didn't find it any different from ordinary beetles, but Hermione exclaimed after seeing it.

"Oh! You caught her!"

"What's this?" Ginny asked.

"Rita Skeeter!" said George triumphantly. "Fred and I found her in the window of Harry's ward."

"But it's just a beetle!" Ron said in surprise.

Hermione's mood immediately improved, and she explained patiently, "She is an unregistered Animagus, just like Sirius and the others. I discovered this two weeks ago, so she Only then can I always know the content of our conversation, because no one will pay attention to a beetle, and I have been trying to catch her for the past two weeks, but I did not expect to be preempted by you."

"Haha, she won't be able to speak ill of you now," Fred said with a smile. "You take her away, Hermione, and she won't dare to let her go on the Muggle streets." It's messing around in the Muggle territory, and we have made an agreement with her that we are not allowed to write any false reports, otherwise we will tell her secret!"

After the train arrived at the station, it was Lupine who came to pick Harry up. He said that Sirius was busy and couldn't make it, but before Harry and Lupine left, he ran to the twins, and Luna was there.

"Here, here you are." Harry stuffed a cloth bag directly into George's arms.

Luna recognized it as the bag that Fudge threw over on the night after the competition. It contained the prize money from the Three Wizards competition, a thousand Galleons.

The twins obviously knew what was there too, "Harry, do you know how many Galleons are here?"

"Of course I know," Harry said quickly, "I was going to give it to Cedric's parents, but they insisted not to, just thank me for bringing their son back, I can't take the money, listen , if you don’t want me, throw it into the sewer.”

"But this is too much." George said anxiously.

"Take it as your capital, aren't you going to open a store? I guess it will bring laughter to many people, that is what we can't live without, and, I beg you, give Ron Get a new dress robe." Harry said quickly, and Lupine was urging him, so he waved and ran away.

Still in a daze, George muttered, "Thank you, Harry."

Fred looked at the bag of money, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be so disturbed," Luna said, "Didn't Ludo Bagman run away after being chased by the elves? Then it is impossible to get back the money he owes you, and the store needs As for the capital, just treat Harry as a shareholder."

Fortunately, this consolation reassured Fred and George, because they were now full of anger whenever Ludo Bagman was mentioned.

For Luna and the others, this is the end of a school year, but for many others, this is the beginning, such as the Mysterious Man, such as... the Order of the Phoenix.
