Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Chapter 58 The Triwizard Tournament

All the professors and students were waiting for the incoming guests at the gate of the castle. Professor McGonagall kept admonishing the naughty Gryffindors to be polite and respectful.

Standing in front of the Slytherin students, Snape also warned them with his eyes. His sharp eyes were a little more gentle as they swept over Cyrus. It was very cold at night, and several students huddled together to keep warm, but Cyrus was very warm. Both of them secretly cast a warming spell on the other.

The black lake in the distance suddenly stirred up waves, and a huge whirlpool appeared. The remains of a huge shipwreck rose out of the water. Durmstrang's students and teachers came.

Then a black spot appeared in the sky, getting closer and closer, and the black spot gradually grew larger. Several rune horses as huge as elephants slowly descended from the sky pulling giant limousines. The golden horses' body, white wings and red eyes are the characteristics of Beauxbatons' unique magical creature rune horses.

Grindelwald and Karkaroff brought Durmstrang's students to the castle gate to greet Dumbledore, and Cyrus also smiled at Grindelwald.

Later, Beauxbatons' principal, Madame Maxime, also came over with students wearing silk school uniforms. Maxim's height was the same as Hagrid or even a little larger. She had exquisite makeup and wore a lot of jewelry.

Cyrus discovered something interesting just by meeting them. Hagrid looked at Madam Maxime in a daze, but she seemed to be deliberately ignoring Hagrid's presence. Karkaroff wanted to greet Dumbledore warmly but was glared at by Grindelwald on the side. He also avoided looking at Snape. Grindelwald was still as elegant and decent as usual, but he looked at Hogwart. There was arrogance and disdain in the eyes of Zi Zhong students.

Dumbledore greeted a few people and then invited everyone to sit in the auditorium. The Durmstrang students sat at the Slytherin table, and the Beauxbatons students sat at the Ravenclaw table. These new students undoubtedly attracted the attention of all students at Hogwarts, especially Krum and Beauxbatons student Fleur. One is a Quidditch star, and the other is a beautiful girl with Veela blood who exudes charm.

Cyrus looked at Fleur. She did have some Veela magic mixed with her, but it was almost non-existent compared to the real Veela. Has it all been inherited in appearance? If this inheritance method can only pass on a small amount of magic power, then Salazar is really powerful. He has more than half of the magic power of three people in his body.

While Cyrus was thinking, he was interrupted by the people around him, "Hi, Cyrus. We meet again. Have you gone to watch the World Cup?" Klum sat next to her, "Hello, Krum. I'm going. Look, your skill in catching the Golden Snitch in the end was excellent, but it’s a pity that you didn’t win the game.”

"Well, it's indeed a pity. I wanted to say hello to you before the game, but I couldn't find you, haha."

"Miss Grindelwald, do you want some mulled wine? Krum, give you a glass too." Karkaroff handed two glasses of mulled wine to the two of them, "Thank you, Professor Karkaroff. It seems like Krum is your protégé.”

Just now, Cyrus saw Karkaroff following Krum around asking for help. "Haha, of course. He will fight as a warrior of Durmstrang! If Miss Grindelwald also becomes a warrior of Hogwarts, I will ask Krum to help you more."

Cyrus had a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Then thank you Professor Karkaroff for your kindness."

At the dinner, Dumbledore introduced the annual Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Alastor Moody to everyone. Now that Voldemort is about to resurrect, reliable and experienced professors are needed to protect students and Harry.

As a retired former Auror, Moody was undoubtedly the best choice. Sirius was also sent to liaise with members of the Order of the Phoenix around the world. Lupine was also unable to stay away from the werewolf group.

Mad Eye Moody, it is said that the alchemical eye embedded in his left eye can see through everything, even the invisibility cloak. I really look forward to meeting him in person. Is his magic eye more powerful or mine?

According to memory, this was Barty pretending to be taking Polyjuice Potion. Cyrus looked at Moody on the teacher's desk playfully. Moody's big glass eyes moved flexibly, and then stopped in the direction where Cyrus was sitting.

Cyrus smiled warmly and brightly at him, then looked away. Voldemort would not know much without Peter's help and information. Jorkins was one of the most isolated people in the Ministry of Magic, and Cyrus had never exposed his eyesight to much at school.

Most students just thought that her eye color would change when she was emotional and that she was good at casting spells without a wand. She didn't think anyone who knew her true abilities would leak the news.

Little Barty was not Moody and could not see the secret of Cyrus's eyes. The undisguised viciousness and murderous intent in Moody's eyes just now... It seemed that Voldemort had a high opinion of him.

It would be great if he could divert all of Voldemort's attention to himself. Cyrus was not sure whether Barty Jr.'s target was Harry or himself, or both.

Amidst the dissatisfaction of the students, Dumbledore announced that this year's Quidditch match would be cancelled. Then the conversation changed and it was announced that the Triwizard Tournament, which had been suspended for more than a hundred years, would be held in November this year.

"The winner of the Triwizard Tournament will receive eternal glory. But to achieve this goal, he must pass three tests, three very severe tests. In view of this, the Ministry of Magic decided to implement several new rules. Love International Mr. Barty Crouch, president of the Magic Cooperation Association, will explain it to us."

Dumbledore introduced Barty Crouch, and then he appeared from the side of the auditorium and walked onto the stage.

Cyrus looked at Barty Crouch and frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal. The hand holding the water glass was rubbed slightly. There were traces of black magic spells on his body, although they were very shallow.

It seems that little Barty went back to find his father after escaping that day. Does Voldemort need detailed information about the game? There are many details missing from his memory. Cyrus only remembers that Harry was sent to Voldemort by a portkey in the final game level. Now that he has become a thorn in Voldemort's side, it seems that the competition will be more interesting.

Barty Crouch walked onto the stage and looked at the students, "According to the communication decision between the Ministry of Magic and the principals of the participating schools, one more test will be added to the original three tests in the Triwizard Tournament. The content of the competition will be kept secret until the start of the competition. Each school will select the three best students from the Goblet of Fire to participate. In order to ensure the safety of students, all students under the age of 3 will be prohibited from participating. This is the final decision."

Most of the students were dissatisfied when they heard there was an age limit, and they became quiet until Dumbledore stopped them. Then he pointed to the large golden cabinet beside him. The cabinet gradually deformed, folded and disappeared. A huge Goblet of Fire carved in bronze appeared inside, with blue flames glowing in the mouth of the goblet.

“The students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons who participated in the Triwizard Tournament with Hogwarts will study and live together at Hogwarts until the end of the competition. All students who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament must Write your name on the parchment and put it into the Goblet of Fire. Deadline is this Thursday night."

After the dinner, everyone couldn't wait to walk towards the Goblet of Fire placed in the corridor. Although most of them cannot register due to age restrictions. But it’s also a good pastime to watch the excitement and observe who from your own school will participate. "Cyrus, you are not 17 years old yet, how can you participate in the competition?"

Klum asked from the side, and Cyrus nodded, "No rules are set in stone."

The appearance of Cyrus and Krum attracted the attention of many people. Krum nodded to Cyrus, took the lead in walking into the area where the Goblet of Fire was set up, and successfully threw in the parchment.

Dumbledore set an age restriction spell near the Goblet of Fire. Once a student under 17 years old enters, he will be ejected, and... Cyrus looked at the two twins with white beards on one side and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Cyrus, you must have a way to overcome the curse, teach us!" Fred and George grabbed their long beards and looked at Cyrus, "The competition is too dangerous, I'm sorry. I can't help this time. you."

Hermione was holding the record of the Triwizard Tournament in history, her eyes full of worry, "Don't join in the fun, many people have died in this competition before. I don't know why it is held again... Cyrus, you want it too Participate?"

The students at Hogwarts all know that Cyrus has existed for thousands of years, and the age limit should not limit her. "I will participate." Saying that, Cyrus walked up, stayed outside the restricting spell for a moment, then stepped in, and put in the parchment with his name.

It seems that this spell indeed calculates the age of the soul, and the age-increasing agent used by the twins to cheat is ineffective. "Cyrus, you also signed up. Maybe we will become teammates in the future." Cedric also approached the Goblet of Fire with the parchment, "Well, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation then."

After Cyrus signed up, he no longer planned to stay. When he walked to the corner, he was stopped by Cedric, "Cyrus, um, do you have someone you like? I know you are very strong... If I were in the Triwizard Tournament Victory, are you willing to be my girlfriend?" There was a blush on the handsome and gentle boy's face. Cyrus shook his head, "Sorry, Cedric. I already have someone I like. I wish you good luck in the competition. "

Cedric's eyes were lowered, a little sad, but he still said gently: "It's okay, thank you Cyrus. I also wish you good luck in the competition." Then Cedric left first, looking at the boy's back Cyrus frowned , she seems to have forgotten something. Harry and the three appeared in his sight, and Cyrus's gaze shifted to Hermione.

"Hermione, can you come here?"

Cyrus walked up to them, remembering that she hadn't rejected Ginny's confession yet. Hermione seemed to understand what Cyrus meant and walked with her to a deserted corner.

Cyrus put a layer of earplugs around him to listen, "Are you going to Hogsmeade this weekend? Maybe I can refuse Ginny then." Hermione looked at Cyrus who looked innocent and said this Cruel words, "Hey, I'll ask Ginny to go to the Three Broomsticks. Just come over then."

Cyrus breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, thank you."

"Cyrus, do you have house elves at home? I saw them at the Quidditch field last time. Why are they different from Mr. Crouch's Winky? And how is Winky?"

Cyrus considered it for a moment, "Winky is assigned to work in the Hogwarts kitchen with other elves. As for Kull and the others, maybe you can go to the library to check the records about house elves first. There will be questions then. Ask me again, this is not something I can explain in one or two sittings."

Cyrus said goodbye to Hermione and knocked on the door of Snape's office. "Sir, you see, I am a prefect. Thank you for your recognition."

Cyrus showed the badge on his chest to Snape, who was still lowering his head to sort out the lesson plan, "Yeah."

Cyrus was used to his indifferent response. He sat on the sofa and said, "What are you going to do on the weekend? Come with me to Hogsmeade."

"It seems that Miss Cyrus is not at all nervous about participating in the Triwizard Tournament." Cyrus shook his legs and seemed very happy, "Then I will assume that you agree. Don't worry, I will treat both of us. Use the transfiguration spell and no one will notice."

Voldemort is about to be resurrected. If her close relationship with her husband is seen by others, it will inevitably become a threat to Voldemort. "Has Miss Cyrus forgotten that her professor is good at potions? A polyjuice potion can solve the problem."

Cyrus stood up and looked at Snape's potion cabinet, rummaged through it and found a bottle of potion. "Perhaps sir, you can use an age-reducing potion. After all, polyjuice potion only copies the appearance of others. I will give it to you then." Dress up so others don’t recognize you.”

"Why do I think Miss Cyrus has selfish motives?" Snape stood up and took the age-reducing agent from Cyrus' hand. Cyrus said sideways, "Haha, indeed I really want to see what you looked like when you were young, sir." .After all, memory is just a picture, you can’t see the real person..."

The man in front of him raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Miss Cyrus prefers young and energetic people, such as... that muscular idiot Durmstrang? You two had a great time chatting at dinner. It seems that there is also Herbert today. Chipachi’s student confessed his love to Miss Cyrus.”

Snape's face gradually darkened and he looked at Cyrus with evil eyes.

"I only like sir, no matter what you are like." Cyrus hugged the man's waist and rubbed his chest. Feeling the change in the man's body shape, he looked up.

Snape's face changed, the lines between his eyebrows that had been wrinkled for years became lighter, and his skin became fairer and more delicate. The figure is thinner, and the waist that Cyrus holds is slender and slender, adding a little vitality with maturity. Only the calm and indifferent eyes and the magnetic low voice have not changed.

"Are you satisfied?"

Snape waved the empty bottle in his hand and looked at Cyrus, who was stunned. Then he saw the girl covering her face and squatting down, the red tips of her ears revealing her emotions.

Snape showed a wicked smile and asked knowingly: "It seems that Miss Cyrus doesn't like it. I'm going to drink the antidote right now."

The movement of turning around was stopped. The girl grabbed Snape's collar, stood up and kissed his pale lips. Snape grabbed the girl's head and took over, deepening the kiss.

After the kiss ended, Snape pressed his forehead against hers and panted slightly, with a blush on his pale cheeks. Hot and moist breath hit Cyrus's cheek, "... Age-reducing agents should really be included in the category of taboo drugs."
