Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 489 Black Demon Mark
Ron was stunned for half a minute before he came back to his senses. He stared at Hermione in surprise and murmured softly,

"The gold coins conjured by the Irish leprechaun will disappear, but aren't they the mascots brought by the Irish team? I thought Harry, look at how many galleons you have in your wallet!"

"what?"

Harry was a little confused, but he listened to Ron's suggestion and opened his wallet.He hadn't had time to go to Gringotts to withdraw his living expenses for the next semester. Before the competition started, he had spent a lot of gold from the vendors in the camp. At this moment, the most in his wallet was Copper Nuts, and only Harry picked out a few gold coins and handed them to Ron with a puzzled look on his face.
"That's all, what's the problem, Ron?"

Ron's face turned pale. He still couldn't believe that there were only so many gold coins left in Harry's wallet. So, he took the wallet in Harry's hand and rummaged through it carefully. After a while, he finally determined that Harry There is no miscount.

"It's gone"

Ron said in despair,
"Remember, Harry, before the game started, I gave you a handful of gold coins, which were scattered by the leprechauns of the Irish team. I saw you put all those gold coins into your purse and now they are gone! "

Harry frowned and thought for a while, and then he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. Ron gave him the gold to repay the money for the panoramic telescope.

"Your brain is so flexible right now!" Hermione curled her lips and said sarcastically.

The wrinkles between Harry's brows still didn't clear up, and he said hesitantly,

"So, Ludo Bagman paid us, and Fred and George, with fake gold that the Leprechaun conjured up. Did he make a mistake? I mean, Bagman is Magic Sports." Director, he is sure that it was not intentional, right?"

Hermione pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I want to go back and see!" Ron gasped, "I want to see if Fred and George's gold is still there!"

"We're not here just for the gold, Ron, we're also going to help Harry find the wand!"

Hermione glared sternly at Ron and said angrily.

"Wand?"

Ron seemed to have completely forgotten the matter. He repeated it with a confused look. Then he remembered that Harry had left his wand in the box. "Okay, let's go!"

With that said, Ron led the way towards the Quidditch pitch, followed by Harry, while Hermione glanced at the back of Ron's head with complicated eyes, sighed inwardly, and then walked away. pace.

Harry was worried about his wand, and Ron was thinking about going back to Fred and George to confirm whether their gold had disappeared. Therefore, the three of them were not delayed by some scenery on the road, and went straight towards the Quidditch pitch. .

Ten minutes later, the three of them stood outside the entrance passage again.

Tonight evening, the Quidditch World Cup finals venue was still the largest building Harry had ever seen in the wizarding world. Mr. Weasley emphasized to them several times that in order to build a venue that could accommodate 10 people to watch the game, Stadium, the British Ministry of Magic sent hundreds of people to work on this matter since the beginning of this year, and finally completed this magnificent building more than ten days before the start of the game.

But only half a day later, the building was in ruins.

Perhaps because they were afraid that the remaining buildings would collapse again, the Ministry of Magic evacuated completely after carrying the injured and corpses out. However, this also made it easier for Harry and the three of them to move around.

They walked fearfully through the ruined passage, trying to avoid bumping into anything, because they were not sure that if they knocked something down, it would cause a chain reaction and cause the fragmented passage to completely collapse.

After entering the Quidditch pitch and confirming that there was no movement around him, Harry lifted the invisibility cloak in the shadows.

Before the duel between Professor Brain and the witch named Cliona, they fled the arena and had no idea what kind of destruction this place would be like. Now they finally had the opportunity to take a look at two of the top players in the wizarding world. What kind of damage is caused to the environment after the duel between powerful wizards.

The original lawn in the stadium had completely disappeared, replaced by a large pit. Under the moonlight, the edge and inside of the pit shone brightly. Ron quickly stepped forward and broke off the edge of the pit. I picked up a reflective object, put it in my hand and examined it carefully.

"Is this a gem?"

After a few seconds, Ron turned around and looked at Hermione with a slightly confused look in his eyes.

"No, it's glass." Hermione said with certainty after taking a closer look. "It's Professor Blaine's magic. The high temperature of the flame melted the sand in the soil and cooled it to form glass."

"What is this?" Ron looked at Harry confused.

"Probably Muggle science." Harry shrugged.

After confirming that it was not a gem, Ron threw away the shards of glass in disappointment and turned his attention to the arena.

Viewed from a high altitude, the oval-shaped Quidditch field is completely out of shape. Nearly one-third of it has completely collapsed and turned into ruins, and the remaining spectator seats are also used by Vitia Cliona. It was torn apart by the huge vines spawned by magic.

The reason why the entire magnificent Quidditch stadium did not collapse was not only because the Ministry of Magic did its best during the construction, but also partly because the joints of the steel beams in the main body of the building were melted by the powerful fire magic used by Amosta. Then completely welded.

Seeing the ruins of the wall, an indescribable pressure pressed on the hearts of the three young wizards. They couldn't imagine what would happen to them if Professor Blaine didn't leave them time to escape and directly chose to go to war with Cliona. What the outcome will be, it will definitely not be much better than the wizard who just died outside.

"Come on, Harry, go find your wand—"

Hermione pushed Harry's shoulder and said in a suppressed voice, "Someone may come over at any time to check the situation. We can't stay here for too long."

"I'm ready to buy a new wand from Ollivanders--"

Harry said with a sigh.

Seeing the miserable state of the Quidditch pitch, Harry felt that there was little chance that his wand could still be intact.

Having said that, they took a huge risk to come here after all, and they couldn't just go back after taking a look.The three of them tried hard to identify the location, and after a while, they finally determined where the box for watching the game tonight was.

The good news is that the section of the stadium where they watched the game in the top floor box at night has not been reduced to rubble, and the main structure is still complete.The bad news is that the stairs leading to the top balcony have become shaky and littered with fallen building materials.

This broken staircase may be in a delicate balance, and the slightest application of gravity will destroy it.

"Can you lend me your wand, Ron--"

Harry stood at the bottom of the stairs, hesitated for a moment, turned around and said to Ron.

"Are you going to take the risk yourself?" Ron frowned.

"This staircase may be difficult enough to bear the weight of one person. It would be too dangerous for the three of us to go up. There is no need for you to take risks with me."

Harry said firmly.

"I don't like hearing that -" Ron smacked his lips, "Do you want me to calculate with you how many risks we have taken together in the past few years, Harry?"

Having said that, Harry's worries were not unreasonable. It was indeed irrational for the three of them to rush onto a building that was on the verge of collapse.

"If only we could fly-"

Hermione raised her head, looked at the box above, and said distressedly,
"But flying is not a simple magic, it is too difficult for us."

"In fact, it's not that difficult. With a broomstick, even a shooting star will do-"

Ron looked around to see if there was any other safer way to approach the box, while Harry and Hermione looked at the box and sighed.

Then, without any warning, a voice suddenly broke through the silence. This off-tune voice was hoarse with pain, but it was not a cry for help, it sounded more like a curse.

"Bone reappears!"

The next second, a huge green shiny thing suddenly appeared in the top box and flew high into the sky!
