Parents of Hogwarts

467 Conflict Explodes

The Triwizard Tournament took an unexpected turn. Not only did Karan break the age limit and become a Hogwarts Warrior, Lily was also selected!

Both of them are below the age limit and both are underage, but why is it Lily...

Karan looked at Lily. She was still immersed in this shocking fact, and her mind was blank.

But she immediately said: "It wasn't me. I didn't throw my name into the Goblet of Fire."

Of course, Karan believed in Lily. He had already mentioned in advance that he might be framed, and Lily had no reason to follow her into the trap.

He had no choice but to look at Dumbledore, who was deep in thought.

At this moment, a strange thought suddenly came to Callan's mind - in the future, Harry and Cedric will also be a Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff, which is very similar to his and Lily's situation.

And the one who died happened to be Cedric, from Hufflepuff.

This is also the college where Karan attends.

"This can't be a prophecy..."

Karan thought strangely.

At this time, Ms. Maxim, Ms. Victoria, Moody, and Old Barty Crouch walked in from the door.

The few people standing at the door had no choice but to walk into the house to make more space.

No one spoke first, which made the atmosphere a bit strange. More eyes were focused on Karan and Lily, and Moody's magic eyes kept turning.

"Two underage children..."

Moody looked at them and said, his tone sounding like a roar: "Then one of them should be removed! Hogwarts is not willing to take advantage of this!"

Kahlan believed that Moody was on Dumbledore's side, and he happened to express Kahlan's inner thoughts, which was to remove one player first.

And anyone can see that there is something wrong with the current situation. There is obviously something wrong with the warriors selected by Hogwarts. This is why Ms. Maxim and Ms. Victoria did not hold them accountable as soon as they came up - even if there were more contestants. number, at least one adult should be selected first. This will be more in line with the competition regulations.

"I wonder what you think?"

Dumbledore looked at the two headmistresses and did not speak his mind first.

"I agree with this person's opinion." Ms. Maxim said coldly: "Each school will only have one warrior participating in the competition. This is what we have discussed in advance."

Ms. Victoria stood next to Adam. She nodded haughtily and agreed with Ms. Maxim's opinion.

"no!"

At this time, Barty Crouch Sr. stood up and said in a solemn tone: "We must abide by the charter. The charter clearly stipulates that anyone whose name comes out of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition. These are extraordinary times, and as two respected ladies, we should not want this small issue to interfere with the progress of the game."

"and--"

He turned to look at Dumbledore: "The Ministry of Magic will not want Hogwarts to send just one underage contestant."

There are differences of opinion. Barty Crouch Sr. is fighting for more benefits for the Ministry of Magic. This involves the diplomatic affairs of the Ministry of Magic in various countries. He will never tolerate this kind of behavior of bowing his head first, especially when he bows his head later. When you are weak - let a minor student face the competition of two adult students.

Ms. Maxim's chest rose and fell violently, obviously very dissatisfied with Old Barty's words, and Ms. Victoria's performance was similar.

Callan was still waiting for Dumbledore to make up his mind. He glanced at Lily. Lily lowered her head deeply, her long red hair hanging down.

"Maybe we should ask the victims first."

Dumbledore looked at the two female principals and said: "I believe that both of you have no objection to the word victim. There is no need for Hogwarts to allow two underage students to compete, and it will not take such a risk." Risky.”

Neither woman looked very pretty, but they really didn't argue.

"Lily Evans."

Dumbledore asked kindly: "I want to know, have you ever thrown your name into the Goblet of Fire?"

Lily shook her head quickly: "I didn't do that, principal."

"Then do you want to become a warrior of Hogwarts?" Dumbledore continued, "Representing the school in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"me......"

Everyone was staring at Lily, which made her so nervous that she couldn't speak.

She looked at Karan for help, but Karan suddenly said: "Principal, I think Lily needs time to think about it, and I also need time to think about it. After all, we are all minors, and we all know that in the past, There is a precedent for players dying in the Triwizard Tournament."

It was naturally impossible for Dumbledore to refute Callan's opinion. He looked at the other two principals. Barty Crouch Sr. seemed to want to say something, but was blocked by Moody intentionally or unintentionally. The two of them spoke to each other. Take a look.

"Think about Grindelwald." Moody said: "As soon as he escaped from the Triwizard Tournament, problems arose. The same happened in the previous Duel Wizards Competition. Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with Grindelwald?"

As soon as he heard Grindelwald's name, Adam's cheeks immediately tightened and his cheeks moved fiercely.

Old Barty looked at the two children: "You mean they are being targeted by Grindelwald?"

His tone seemed extremely ridiculous, but he was quickly retorted by Dumbledore: "It's not impossible, Barty. Just last semester, Grindelwald's forces launched an invasion of Hogwarts. , these two students just happened to be involved."

Old Barty's expression immediately changed: "If what you said is true... postpone it temporarily and wait until tomorrow to officially announce the Warriors results. I want to see the Minister of Magic tonight to discuss Make a decision later.”

A few people said a few words briefly. They might doubt what Dumbledore had done to the Goblet of Fire, but when it came to Grindelwald, they maintained their utmost trust in Dumbledore. After all, he was It was he who personally sent Grindelwald to Nurmengard.

The others left quickly, everyone looking preoccupied.

Moody shouted to check the Goblet of Fire again, leaving the room to Lily, Callan, and Dumbledore. He knew they had something to talk about.

"It surprised me that--"

As soon as the others left, Karan frowned and said, "Meadows can't slack off. She must be keeping an eye on the Goblet of Fire. No one will have an extra chance to vote."

"It's Professor Meadows, Callan." Dumbledore corrected: "Like you, I believe in Dorcas. So, Lily -"

"Huh?" Lily raised her head subconsciously, as if she was startled.

"Who do you think will throw your name into the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbledore asked gently.

"Yes, Lily." Karan clapped his fingers and said, "I have many enemies, but I really can't think of anyone who would target you, and I can't say there is none at all. After all, you were present in several previous incidents. , but is there anything that you think must be targeted at you?"

Lily knew that this competition was no joke. She thought about it seriously: "I don't know...could it be because of my bloodline?"

She suddenly said, her eyes getting brighter and brighter: "Among the few of us, only Karan and I are Muggle-born. What if it's not about me, but about blood content?"

"It sounds reasonable." Dumbledore agreed: "In this case, the enemy can only be Voldemort. Only he would care so much about the blood of wizards."

"Yes." Lily said tangledly: "But how could it be a mysterious person? What does he want to use my bloodline for?"

"Don't rush to conclusions, Lily." Dumbledore said with a smile: "This is all just speculation. I hope you can go back and have a good sleep tonight, and wait until you are awake enough to make a decision tomorrow. "

The auditorium was now empty, and the flames of the candles were already very low, which made the jack-o-lantern's toothy smile look flickering and eerie.

Karan and Lily were walking together. Lily seemed a little confused: "I thought the principal would directly persuade me to quit the competition."

"That's too cruel." Karan shrugged and said, "This is the Triwizard Tournament, a hard-won opportunity. And, to be honest, based on your achievements, I think you can become the winner of Hogwarts." The warrior is completely unsurprising, and he may not even need to use a confusion spell."

Lily looked a little surprised: "Are you serious?"

Karan nodded and said: "Of course, but the first step is to eliminate me first, but now it doesn't matter whether I am eliminated or not. The impact of the crown is still lingering on me. You can withdraw, but I can't do anything about it." If we withdraw again, Hogwarts will have to not participate in this competition."

"It sounds too miserable to just provide a venue but not participate in the competition."

Lily's mood improved little by little: "Then why don't you quit the competition and I'll stay? After all, your guesses have all come true. What if there is really a risk?"

Karan thought about it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "This idea sounds good, but we still have to be careful, in case both of us are really targeted by the enemy-"

"How's it going?" At this moment, someone suddenly came out from the door of the auditorium. It was Snape. He had been hiding quietly at the door of the auditorium just to wait for the two of them to come out.

"What's the result?" he asked anxiously.

Karan recounted what had just happened, including the official results that would not come out until tomorrow.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Snape looked even more anxious: "The worst I can do is let the Goblet of Fire choose again. How can you break in when you know there is a trap?"

"The Goblet of Fire cannot be re-elected." Karan explained: "The Goblet of Fire will only be rekindled when the next Triwizard Tournament is held."

Snape looked around. He knew that Karan had an idea, so he turned to look at Lily and asked in a hesitant tone: "Lily, do you really want to participate in the competition?"

"Of course I want to participate." Lily's answer shocked Snape: "This is the Triwizard Tournament. The winner will be rewarded with a large sum of gold galleons. Of course, the more important thing is to win it for the school. glory."

"Then you..." Snape racked his brains and tried his best to persuade in a tactful tone: "Then you shouldn't be so impulsive, right? I mean, this is obviously a trap... ..."

This was the first time Lily had encountered such obvious resistance since she was chosen as a warrior. Snape's tone could not deceive her at all.

"Do you think I can't handle the trap? Or can't I handle the game?" Lily looked at Snape: "I hope you can tell the truth with me, Sif."

Karan blinked in confusion, something seemed wrong in the atmosphere.

Snape tried his best to look directly into the green eyes of Lily: "Vivian is the person Karan suspects is related to Merlin, and Adam is the runner-up in the duel competition, losing only to the servant of Death, and Karan has been dead since Christmas." I can completely restore my magic power... I hope you don't participate in the competition, Lily."

Lily stared at Snape in disbelief.

"what!"

She gave a short, loud laugh.

This was followed by a second: "Ha!"

Lily said like a barrage of words: "Is this what you think, Sev, that I will lose, so I must not participate in the competition? I must be a good girl in your eyes, a person who has self-awareness? Do you think I don't?" A chance to win the championship? Are you unwilling to give me even this little trust? Don't deny it in a hurry, I know what you think, and you have shown it like this more than once."

"Originally I could ignore it, but this time..."

Her tone became increasingly cold.

"Originally, I thought you understood me."

After finishing the last sentence coldly, Lily strode back to the auditorium hall. She was still shouting angrily: "Don't follow me, I'm going to sign up for the competition now!"

"Going right now!"

Snape looked extremely pitiful. He looked at Lily's back, stretched out an arm, and opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But he didn't dare to say it, let alone pursue it.

In the silence, two bursts of applause suddenly sounded.

"Nice job."

Callan said quietly: "What you did is really beautiful, Snape."

"So beautiful that even I can't do anything about it."

-----------------------------

There has always been an unbreakable conflict between Lily and Snape in the original work, which is specifically reflected in this dialogue: [Snape's entire face was distorted and he said angrily: "Save me? Save me?" Do you think he is a hero? He is trying to save himself and his friends! You can’t—I won’t let you—”

"Let me? Let me?"

Lily's bright green eyes narrowed to slits, and Snape immediately flinched. 】

Lily has always been fiercely independent, and she tolerated Snape many times.

There is a trace of control in Snape's love, which is one of the reasons why Lily cannot accept Snape - in the process of her tolerance, Snape did not change.

For example, before this, Snape had hoped that Lily would like dark magic as much as he did, but he failed. (Information seen on Harry Potter Wiki)

In other words, Snape was unwilling to change for Lily, but James later did this and matured, so Lily finally agreed to date him.

This chapter is to reflect the contradiction. This contradiction is inevitable and will eventually break out.

As for the final outcome, I will handle it properly. If I hadn't been unwilling and wanted to express some interpretations and thoughts, I would have been a eunuch.

So, please rest assured, keep watching, keep chasing, I believe you won’t be disappointed.

The new book "Hogwarts Archaeologists" has been signed. It is written by Professor Ziyi. The protagonist and Snape are classmates. I hope everyone can support it. Thank you.
