Chapter 31 Marking Reappearance

"Harry wants to be a professional Quidditch player or an Auror in the future?" Sirius asked, obviously excited and not going to sleep, leaning on the sofa.

"Well... I didn't think so." Harry sat down opposite him with warm milk.

"I heard Remus say that your grades in all subjects are very good, and he is full of praise for defense in particular. The Auror exam is not difficult for you. You are also very good at flying Quidditch. Like to do some Alchemist, if you want to be an alchemist, you will definitely achieve something. There are many choices, what do you like the most?" His own godson is amazing, Sirius commented without hesitation.

"How could the godfather say so well..." Harry chuckled softly, his green eyes showing a warm luster.It's a pity that the sudden terrified screams from outside interrupted the godfather and son's conversation.

The two got up vigilantly and walked to the door of the tent. The voice in the camp changed.The singing stopped, and he heard screams and people running in panic.

"Follow me" Sirius grabbed his wand tightly to protect him behind him, and the two left the tent one after the other.By the light of the few fires that were still burning, they saw people running towards the woods.The two walked towards the big tent first. Arthur reacted quickly and had already called up all the Weasley boys, and they quickly went to call the two girls.

Not far away, something flickered strangely and made a sound like a gun being fired.Loud jeers, wild laughter, and drunken shouts also moved towards them.Then, a bright green light flashed, illuminating everything around.

A group of wizards huddled together, each with their wands pointed upwards, pushing forward together, moving slowly across the field.They wore hoods over their heads and masks over their faces.Above their heads, four struggling figures floated in the air, distorted into various weird shapes, as if the masked wizards on the ground were puppeteers, and the people above them were marionettes, Invisible strings that shoot up into the air from the wand control.Two of the figures were small.

More wizards joined the advancing procession, laughing loudly and pointing to the few bodies floating above.As the parade continued to grow, the tent was squeezed and collapsed.Once or twice a marcher set a roadside tent on fire with a wand.Several tents were ablaze.The screaming got louder.

When the floating figures passed over the burning tent and were suddenly illuminated by the flames, Harry recognized one of them as Mr. Roberts, the camp manager.The other three appeared to be his wife and children.A walker below uses a wand to turn Mrs. Roberts upside down.Mrs Roberts struggled to cover herself as the crowd shrieked and booed happily as her pajamas fell to reveal a mass of gaudy panties.

"Disgusting," muttered Ron, appearing behind him, looking at the smallest Muggle kid who, sixty feet above the ground, began to spin like a top, his head limply tilted this way, then Leaning over there "It's too shameful..."

Hermione and Ginny hurried towards them, pulling their coats over their pajamas.Just then Arthur led the boys out of the tent, with Bill, Charlie, and Percy following behind him.They were fully dressed, sleeves rolled up, wands in hand.

"We want to help maintain order in the ministry!" Arthur's voice overwhelmed the noise, while rolling up his sleeves, "Sirius and the others handed it over to you, hurry up and go into the woods with these people, walk together, Don't disperse. I'll go find you after the matter is resolved!"

"Okay" Sirius vigilantly protected the minors by his side.Bill, Charlie, and Percy were already running towards the oncoming parade, and Arthur hurried after them.Ministry staff rushed from all directions to the scene of the accident.The group below the Roberts family grew closer.

"Let's go," Sirius said, leading them to run towards the woods, Fred grabbed Ginny's hand worriedly.Harry, Ron, Hermione, and George followed.They all turned their heads and looked behind them as they entered the woods, and saw that the procession under the Roberts family was even larger than before.They could see the wizarding staff of the Ministry trying desperately to get in and approach the hooded wizards in the middle, but with great difficulty.It seemed as though they were afraid to cast any spells for fear of throwing the Roberts family down.

The lights that had illuminated the way to the stadium have now gone out.

Dark figures staggered through the woods in "Lumos", children were crying, and nervous, anxious shouts and voices echoed in the cold night air around them.Harry and Sirius lit their wands one after another.Then he heard Ron cry out in pain.

"What's going on?" Ron lay on the ground, curled up into a ball.Hermione quickly helped him up.

"Tripped over a tree root," he said angrily, getting up from the ground.

"Hmph, with those feet, it's hard not to get tripped." A dragging voice sounded behind them.

The three turned around abruptly.Draco Malfoy was standing nearby, alone, leaning against a tree, looking at ease.He folded his arms, and it seemed that he had been watching the chaotic scene in the camp through the gaps in the trees.

Ron said a foul word to Malfoy, which he would never have dared to say in Molly's presence.

"Speak cleanly," said Malfoy, his pale eyes shining in the night. "I think you'd better hurry up and run away! You don't want her to be found."

He nodded to Hermione, and at that moment there was a loud bang from the campsite, like a bomb being dropped, and a green light instantly illuminated the trees around them.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked impatiently.

"Granger, they're looking for Muggles," Malfoy said, "would you like to show your underpants in mid-air if you want to, stay here...they're coming this way, we can all laugh It's been a game"

"Do you need me to teach you how to talk again?" Harry smiled at him with narrowed eyes.

"Whatever you want," Malfoy said angrily, "if you think they can't recognize mud...just stay here"

"Be careful what you say!" Ron yelled.

"Leave him alone, Ron," Hermione said hastily, and when she saw Ron taking a step towards Malfoy, she quickly grabbed Ron's arm and stopped him.

There was a sudden bang from the other side of the woods, louder than anything they had ever heard.Several people nearby screamed.Malfoy laughed softly.

"Too easily spooked, these people, aren't they?" he said languidly. "I suppose your dad told you to hide? What is he going to do, get those Muggles out?"

"Where are your parents alone?"

Malfoy turned his face to Harry, muttering unhappily.

"I said... don't mind my business, Potter"

"Oh, let's go." Hermione gave Malfoy a disgusted look, and said, "Let's go find someone else."

"Keep that big hairy head of yours down, Granger," Malfoy sneered.

"Come on," said Hermione again.

"I advise you to come with us." Harry glanced at him, and the three of them stared at him in disbelief.

"Harry, what are you calling him for, I bet you his dad is one of those masked guys!" said Ron angrily.

"With luck, the Ministry will catch him!" said Hermione excitedly.

"Didn't you notice that you were missing something?" Harry had already noticed little Crouch's movements in the box before.He didn't keep his wand in his pocket like he used to, he was used to quick-drawing wands, and he had fast-drawing wand straps on his arms.So Crouch didn't steal his wand, but Malfoy's.

"What?" Malfoy touched his body strangely, and then his expression suddenly changed and he realized that his wand was gone.

"When you were leaving the box, someone bumped into you." Harry didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly dragged the person over, "Hurry up."

"Oh, I can't believe this. Where did the others go?" Although Hermione was dissatisfied with Harry taking Malfoy with her, she could only rush ahead, and Harry walked last to guard against any accidents.

Sirius and the others had disappeared, and the path was densely packed with people, all of whom turned their heads nervously, looking in the direction of the commotion in the camp.On the side of the road, a group of boys and girls in pajamas huddled together, arguing about something noisily.When they saw Harry and his party of four, a little girl with thick curly hair turned around and said quickly, "Where is Madame Maxime? We can't find her."

"Um, what?" said Ron.

"Oh!" The little girl who spoke turned her body back again.

"We are from Hogwarts, how can I help you?" Harry stopped and asked in French.The three continued to look at him in shock.

"Beauxbatons," whispered Hermione.

"Oh! That's great! Someone can speak French! We are from Beauxbaton College, we can't find Mrs. Maxim, and we don't know how to get there." The little girl turned her head in surprise.

"If you want to go, you can follow us." The boys and girls of Beauxbatons all gathered around.They're still arguing, and some feel it's better for Ying to stay put.

"Hmph," Malfoy snorted, and he glanced at Harry as if mocking him for being nosy and less than others.

"If you want to go out, go this way, my friend's wand is lost, we have to protect him and leave first." Harry didn't want to wait for them to discuss, pointed in the direction, and the four left in a hurry.

They went straight out along the road.Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the side, and the four of them were startled, and Harry gripped his wand defensively.Winky the house-elf was struggling to get out of the bushes.Her movements were very strange and seemed to be particularly laborious, as if an invisible person was pulling her back.

"Bad wizards everywhere!" She screamed in a panic as she leaned over and tried to run forward. "There's someone up there, up there! Winky is going to run away!"

Panting and screaming, she struggled with the force that bound her, and slipped into the bushes on the other side of the path.

"What's the matter with her?" Ron looked at Shining's back curiously, "Why can't she run well?"

"She hid without her master's permission," said Harry.

"You know, house elves are treated very unfairly!" said Hermione angrily.

"Oh! Sure enough, Muggles don't understand anything, and house elves are happy," Malfoy snorted sarcastically.

"Just because..." Before Hermione could finish, Harry interrupted, "Stop talking, and you, shut up. Hurry up, it's not safe here"

They followed the dark path into the deeper and deeper woods, while continuing to search for Sirius.On the way, they saw a group of goblins just babbling and laughing at a bag of gold coins, which they undoubtedly won in a game, as if they were indifferent to the commotion in the camp.They walked a little further, into a silvery soft light.Looking through the trees, they saw three slender and beautiful veela standing in a clearing, surrounded by a group of young wizards, all talking in loud voices.

Harry stopped the three of them and bypassed these people. Unexpectedly, Ron yelled at them, "Did I tell you that I invented a broomstick that can fly all the way to Jupiter?"

"Oh, why are you doing this!" said Hermione, and she and Harry grabbed Ron's arm hard and pulled him around. Blushing uncomfortably, they hurriedly escorted Ron away.When the voices of the veela and their admirers were completely lost, they were in the middle of the woods.There seemed to be only a few of them here, and the surrounding area was much quieter.

Hermione looked around. "I think we might as well just wait here, okay? We can hear things a mile away"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bagman emerged from a tree in front of them.

Although the light from the three wands was very faint, Harry could see a great change in Bagman.He no longer looked relaxed and cheerful, his face no longer rosy, and he no longer had springs under his feet.He looked pale and nervous.

"Who's over there?" he said, blinking hard at them, trying to make out their faces. "What are you doing here by yourself?" They looked at each other, surprised.

"Yeah, there's a commotion over there," said Ron.

Bagman stared at him.

"what?"

"In camp...someone caught a family of Muggles..." Bagman swore loudly.

"Damn it!" he said, looking distraught, and, without another word, disapparated with a pop.

"He doesn't know anything about the situation, does he?" said Hermione, frowning.

"He used to be a great batsman, though," said Ron, leading ahead, down the path into a little clearing, and sat down on a patch of dry grass under a tree. "He was at the Wimbourne Wasps. When the team won the three-peat”

He took the figurine of Krum out of his pocket, set it on the ground, and watched it go back and forth.Like the real Krum, the minifigure also walks a little splayed, with shoulders bent forward a bit, and his splayed feet on the ground are much less recognizable than his broomstick ride.Voices from the camp.Everything seemed much calmer, it seemed that the riots were over.But Harry knew not yet, he was waiting...

"I hope everyone else is okay," said Hermione after a moment.

"They'll be fine," said Ron.

"Oh, poor Muggles," said Hermione uneasily. "What if people can't get them down?"

"It won't," Ron assured her, "they'll find a way."

"It's insane to do such a thing, knowing that all the officials of the Ministry of Magic are here tonight!" Hermione said, "I mean, do they expect to escape easily? You say, did they drink too much?" Wine, or..."

She stopped talking abruptly, turned her head and looked behind her.Standing by the tree, Harry and Malfoy turned their heads quickly.Hearing the sound, it seemed that someone was walking towards their open space with one foot high and one foot low.They waited, listening to the tumbling of footsteps behind the dark bushes.However, the footsteps suddenly stopped.There is no sound.Turn around and look behind the tree.It was dark all around, and he couldn't see it at a distance, but he could feel someone standing just out of his sight.

"Who's there?" Malfoy asked loudly.

Then, without warning, a voice suddenly broke the silence.It was unlike any other sound they had heard in the woods. It was not a nervous cry, but a spell.

"The bones reappear!" At this moment, Harry blocked Malfoy on the tree pole, and then quickly attacked the sound in the forest.Under the faint red glow of the Disarming Curse, they all saw a man quickly disappear under the cloak of invisibility.Harry didn't intend to go after him, he knew it was Crouch Jr, and he was only doing it to keep Malfoy from the wand.

A gigantic green gleaming spell quickly leaped up the treetops and into the air.

"What is this..." Ron said nervously, and jumped up quickly, staring up at the thing that had just appeared.

An extremely huge skeleton is composed of countless green star-like things, and a large boa constrictor protrudes from the skull's mouth like a tongue.As they watched, the skeleton rose higher and higher, shining brightly in a cloud of green smoke, like a new constellation against the dark night sky.
