[HP] Noble

After Dumbledore left with some professors and staff, there was a moment of confusion on the playing field.The crowd was buzzing with conversation, and occasionally a particularly abrupt voice guessed loudly that this was specially arranged by Dumbledore, and Dumbledore's performance just now was just because he was acting, but not many people paid attention to them: Because all fools know—a trophy is a portkey—this was definitely an accident that no one expected.

Although Dumbledore was a tiresome old man, even the Slytherins knew that the old headmaster of Hogwarts would never joke about this.

There was commotion in the VIP seats, and Scorpius craned his neck to look curiously, only to see that Cedric Diggory's father was panicking, grabbing everyone around him and asking loudly and uneasily "Where is my son!" "Who saw my son!" "Tell me he's safe!"... At this moment, Bagman was trying to get his wizard robe out of this poor creature with a face full of embarrassment. He pulled it back from the young man's hand, and his tie had been pulled crookedly. With his expression, it looked funny, but no one around could laugh.

Mr Diggory's uneasiness seemed to have infected many.

The order on the playing field gradually became less optimistic, and Dumbledore was not here.

A few Aurors in plain clothes had to draw out their wands, showing that they had good professionalism and were helplessly prepared to deal with today's sudden overtime.

"—oh look!"

Girls screamed from the Ravenclaw seats, and Scorpius looked along the source of the sound, and found that it was a girl in the fifth grade with a frightened face, pointing to the field with trembling fingers—following the path of her fingers Direction, Scorpius saw that the tall plant barrier was gradually closing little by little, and the light emitted by the magic Dumbledore used was also gradually weakening. Soon, the light disappeared completely due to the dissipation of magic power. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the competition maze returned to its original appearance, and the dark entrance became its original size.

There is nothing to see in the maze.

Everyone can only see one entrance, but they can't see anything five meters away.

This brings a strong sense of uneasiness to most people.

Until people's attention is turned to other things, they start to say other things to divert their uneasiness - after all, no one can say what happened, in fact, it may not be like them As bad as imagined, isn't it?They comforted themselves in their hearts, but at the same time, they saw the absent-mindedness and anxiety in the eyes of their partners in the conversation. Every time they blinked, their corners of the eyes were involuntarily looking at the dark entrance.

It was as if something terrible would emerge from the darkness that could not be reached at any time.

They've been away for too long.

So much so that Mrs. Diggory had begun to weep in Mr. Diggory's arms, and Mr. Diggory had ceased to make noise, and sat there, disheveled, looking distraught, muttering about nothing but himself. Words no one can understand.

Next to the Diggory couple is Professor Snape, yes, surprisingly, the Head of Slytherin House is there, he's in the stands, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, things have gotten a lot better lately at least not Then there was a trace of exhaustion on the unhealthy sallow face.At his feet was a big dog that Scorpius was all too familiar with. At this moment, the black dog was lying on the railing with its ears and tail hanging down, staring at the entrance of the maze.

Half an hour, but it seemed as long as a century.

There was a harsh "crack" sound on the field, similar to the "crack" sound that would only be made when someone casts a poor apparition.

Everyone stood up from the stands in unison.

"--my goodness, they're back, Draco, look, they're still carrying that broken trophy of yours--oh, where's Dumbledore, please?" Scorpius sighed in relief, looking around excitedly.

That's Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory, back at the same time, with trophies!

People cheered and jumped up and down wildly to celebrate Hogwarts' victory.The sound of drums and trumpets almost shattered the night sky of Hogwarts, and the ribbons shot into the silent sky, and Scorpius heard the Weasley twins singing "They're back! They're victorious!" and held up their hands, circling frantically.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he was about to ask Draco if he had already prepared the address of his bedroom. When he turned his head, he found that the platinum nobleman was frowning tightly, with a seriousness on his face that was completely different from the people around him. Those beautiful silver-gray pupils almost froze to a point because of some unknown emotion——

Scorpius had never seen Draco make such an odd look.

"What's the matter?" He pushed Prince Slytherin, "A happy ending in theory, how about a laugh?"

Draco shook his head expressionlessly, his voice cold to freezing point: "Happy ending to hell, keep your eyes open to see clearly, something happened."

Scorpius was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously pulled Draco's sleeve tightly, as if to verify Draco's words. There was a scream from the center of the competition field. It was Qiu Zhang. She was originally the first One rushed towards the two warriors, but at this moment, she knelt beside the two warriors, screaming Cedric's name loudly, and Harry Potter, kneeling beside her, his In his hand was the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament, and Cedric was lying there.

Not moving at all.

The cheering gradually died down.

People finally realized what was wrong and stopped congratulating someone who was too cruel for someone who knew the truth.

Sirius first, he jumped off the railing and turned back into their Professor Black the moment he landed, then he rushed to Harry and tried to pull him from the ground with all his strength, but Harry held on tight Cedric lying on the ground, and then the Diggory couple, Scorpius heard again Mr Diggory's hoarse voice, and he kept pushing through the crowd, calling: "That's my son— Let me go—let me see my son—”

More and more staff left the stands, they gathered in the center of the field.The students looked at each other in blank dismay, standing in the stands at a loss.

"he died!"

I don't know who screamed, the sound almost pierced the sky and pierced the eardrums of everyone present.

"He's dead! Cedric - God! Dumbledore -" the man screamed. "Come on! . . . he's dead!"

Scorpius let go of Draco's sleeves abruptly.

He felt that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, and he was gradually losing the temperature that the human body should have.It was as if someone poured a bucket of snow water mixed with ice over his head, and everything in front of him suddenly turned into a messy picture. He saw Crouch, and he saw a person wearing a German Armstrong's uniform, he drew his wand, and then...

dark magic.

"what's wrong with you?"

A warm and strong hand suddenly grabbed him, and everything in front of him suddenly disappeared. The crowd in the stands was in a mess. In the first row, only Scorpius and Draco were left. At that time, the latter was lowering his head slightly, frowning and looking at him cautiously.

"No, it's nothing." Scorpius rubbed his temples, feeling that now is not the time to say that.

Draco arranged him on a random seat, and walked back to the railing by himself. Scorpius raised his eyelids and saw Draco's tall and thin figure leaning against the railing, tilting his head slightly, thinking Looking down at the playing field below.

After what seemed like a long time, he said flatly, "Hufflepuff."

Just a simple college name.

Scorpius didn't know what was going on, so he had to stand up, and then lay down on the railing——

Then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Countless Hufflepuffs flocked to the center of the venue, they shouted the name of "Cedric Diggory", some girls were crying loudly, everyone was hysterical like crazy, they danced wildly With the Hufflepuff badge in the center—

This academy represented by kindness and loyalty, this academy that always has the habit of being forgotten, and is always at the bottom of any competition, when people laugh at them, they just shrug their shoulders and say with a smile: "Oh, who called it?" We're stupid."

But tonight, they were not smiling anymore.

Scorpius suddenly realized that, tonight, he had really met Hufflepuff.

A school known for its kindness and loyalty.

They are always there.

In the silent way they are used to, they have preserved the virtues of their own college for a hundred years.
