HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

After everything was arranged, Segnus immediately slipped into the tent next door, took off the conspicuous robe, and changed into her usual clothes.

She knew in her heart that people from the Ministry of Magic had already arrived here.

Outside the tent, there was a lot of noise and footsteps coming from far away, accompanied by people's chattering, making the place seem particularly lively.

At this moment, Arthur Weasley suddenly pulled open the curtain of the tent and shouted to the crowd outside in a loud voice: "Look, there is a child here. Look at her appearance. She must be scared!"

Segnus stood there, her body trembling slightly, like a fallen leaf swaying in the autumn wind, and her lively eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

She deliberately rubbed the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, even though there was no trace of tears there.

Then she looked up at Arthur Weasley, her tone containing a little sobbing, which made people feel pity for him.

"Mr. Weasley, I really don't know what to do."

There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, which almost made people forget her little tricks of pretending. "My family and I got separated in the crowd. There were so many people around us. I was so scared that my legs went weak and I couldn't even take a step."

Arthur Weasley looked at her like this and couldn't help but feel an urge to protect her.

The sympathy and desire to help were clearly visible in his eyes.

He had always known that Sensei was different from the other Malfoys, she was gentle and kind, and Ron had just praised her not long ago.

So she stepped forward and patted Cygnus's shoulder gently, like a father comforting a frightened child.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you are safe now, we are here, nothing will happen."

At this juncture, an official from the Ministry of Magic strode in.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to engrave the entire situation inside the tent into his mind at the first moment.

He walked straight up to Cygnus and looked her up and down, his eyes full of criticism and questioning.

Then he spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Oh, Miss Malfoy, it's really unexpected to see you here. I must say that I am now very curious about your appearance and even have to doubt your motives."

At this moment, Arthur Weasley stepped forward in time. He stretched out his hand and gently blocked the official's way. His tone was full of defense: "Barty, don't be like this. She is just a child. Don't go too far."

However, Barty Crouch did not buy it. He snorted coldly, his eyes became even colder: "Child? Don't be ridiculous! Don't forget, she is from the Malfoy family, a little Death Eater, this identity is not an innocent label!"

His words revealed a deep distrust of the Malfoy family, and the atmosphere in the tent became tense.

Segnus' tears instantly flowed out like a spring, and the crystal tears rolled down her pale and delicate cheeks, making people feel pity for her.

She sobbed and spoke, her voice full of grievance and confusion: "I... I just want to find my lost family, I... really... know nothing about all this.

Seeing this, Arthur Weasley glared at Barty Crouch with dissatisfaction, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his harsh questioning.

Then, he patted Segnus' head gently and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, kid. We will definitely help you find your family. Don't worry."

However, Barty Crouch did not seem to let her go so easily. He frowned, his face full of confusion and suspicion, and continued to ask:

"Then why are you here? Don't forget, a serious magical accident just happened here. You can't just be passing by innocently."

Segnus's shoulders trembled with fear at his words. She sobbed and tried her best to explain: "I...I really just came to watch the Quidditch World Cup. I never thought this would happen. I...I am really scared now."

Her big watery eyes looked at Barty Crouch, full of fear and pleading.

The Ministry of Magic staff around couldn't help but whisper to each other and cast sympathetic glances.

Barty Crouch frowned at this time, and there was a rare hesitation and confusion in his eyes.

Obviously, he was going through a small struggle in his heart.

At this moment, Arthur Weasley seized the opportunity and said gently: "Barty, you have to understand that she is just a child, and her heart is very pure. Isn't this harsh suspicion a bit too heavy for a child?"

Barty Crouch pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, making a concession:

"Well, we will get to the bottom of this matter. But until we do, Miss Malfoy, you must stay here."

Cygnus burst into laughter and looked at Arthur Weasley gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Weasley."

Outside the tent, the crowd gradually dispersed and investigators from the Ministry of Magic began to get busy.

And Segnus sat quietly in the tent, waiting for the storm to pass.

The atmosphere in the tent gradually eased, but Segnus' heartbeat was still rapid.

She knew that her performance had to continue until she was completely safe.

A gentle voice sounded at the door of the tent: "Miss Cygnus, I am Amos Diggory, and Cedric is my son."

Segnus looked up and saw a kind-looking middle-aged man standing in front of him, his eyes full of concern.

She quickly stood up. Although her eyes were still slightly red, she still politely thanked him: "Mr. Diggory, thank you for your concern. Cedric has mentioned you many times. He said you are a very loving father."

Amos Diggory smiled, feeling comforted by Cygnus' words.

"My son Cedric told me about you. He said you were a very clever and beautiful girl."

He said gently, "I'm sure you must be very sad about this happening."

Segnus nodded slightly. She knew that at this critical moment, the support of the Diggory family was crucial to her.

"Indeed, this all happened so suddenly that I am still in shock."

Cygnus replied softly, trying to sound vulnerable yet polite, "You know, I've never encountered anything like this before."

At this time, Barty Crouch walked in, his eyes still staring sharply at Cygnus.

Amos Diggory said to him: "Barty, I just saw the scene, and the signs of dark magic are indeed there. But this does not mean that Miss Malfoy is the perpetrator. We can't wrongly accuse an innocent child."

Barty Crouch frowned, still seeming to have doubts.

But at Amos Diggory's insistence, he had to temporarily give up his suspicion of Cygnus.

Segnus knew that his plan was half successful.

Next, she just needs to wait patiently and find the right time to leave here.
