Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 490 Explained
In the quiet Quidditch stadium, a scream full of pain suddenly appeared, and then, a pattern emitting green light appeared, hanging above the box. Under the faint light, Harry could vaguely see inside the box. , as if a vague shadow fell.

This sudden change shocked the three Harrys below, making them unable to make any reaction for a moment!

"what happened?"

Ten seconds later, Ron opened his mouth, and his voice seemed to be forced out of his throat. It was sharp and completely different from his usual speaking voice.Ron's eyes widened, staring at the erratic pattern in the sky in horror.
"What the hell is that?"

Harry almost thought that the pattern was made of leprechauns again, but then he realized that the leprechaun was currently in the woods outside wrangling with the Veela brought by the Bulgarian team, and the leprechaun was absolutely not It will create such a terrifying figure!

Harry strained his eyes and discovered that it was a huge skeleton, made up of countless green star-like things, with a large python emerging from the skull's mouth, like a tongue.As they stared dumbfounded, the skeleton rose higher and higher, glowing brightly in a cloud of green smoke, like a rising constellation under the dark night sky.

"what is this."

Perhaps it was the whistling sound coming from around that made Harry wake up. He also raised similar questions as Ron. He turned his head and looked at the person among the three who was most likely to be able to answer this question. However, Unexpectedly, he discovered that Hermione's face was pale and she looked frightened.

"What's going on, Hermione, what did you see?"

Harry raised his eyebrows and grabbed Hermione's arm.

"This is the Dark Mark, Harry!"

Hermione groaned and said, "The black cloaked wizard above who is attacking the venue tonight, get away, Harry!"

What made Harry take action was not Hermione's screams of terror, but the body's spontaneous avoidance instinct when it sensed danger. At that moment, Harry and Hermione took action almost at the same time. Ron stood there dumbly without reacting, and as soon as the three of them rolled into a ball on the ground, a series of popping sounds sounded around them.

"Passed out!"

About 20 wizards roared and shot magic spells at them after landing.

A series of shining magical radiance lit up the Quidditch field, and the earth that was thrown to the ground splashed into Harry's face. He felt a burning red light pass over his head, and the force of the force was The wind blew so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Stop!" shouted a voice that was very familiar to all three of Harry. "Stop it! That's my son, and Harry Potter!"

The strong winds finally stopped, and the maggot-like sense of crisis finally dissipated. Harry let go of Hermione and Ron and looked up. The wizard closest to him had put down his wand and was squinting his eyes. Looking carefully at his face, Mr. Weasley was striding towards them from behind, looking very frightened.

"Ron - Harry -" Mr. Weasley's voice trembled, "Hermione - are you all okay?"

"Get out of the way, Arthur," said a cold, emotionless voice.

Only when Harry saw the face of another person did he know who the wizard was who ordered Mr. Weasley to go away. That person was Percy. He followed his boss and looked at him sitting on the ground with disbelief. Harry and his little brother Ron,

"Are you here?!"

Percy, whom they hadn't seen for a while, called to them, his eyes not filled with worry like Mr. Weasley's, but sparkling with anger.

"Shut up!" Barty Crouch said again in that cold voice.

Then, he faced Harry, his face stern with anger, "Who did this?" He glanced between the three of them with sharp eyes,
"Which of you conjured the Dark Mark?"

"We don't!" Harry said, pointing to the skeleton above.

"We didn't do anything!" Ron echoed, rubbing his elbows and looking at Mr. Weasley angrily, "Why are you attacking us?"

"Don't lie, gentlemen!" said Crouch, pointing his wand at Ron, his eyes popping out of his head - he looked a little crazy.

"You were found at a crime scene!"

"The three of them are just children, Barty. I brought them to watch the game. There is no way they are related to the dark wizard who launched the attack tonight-" Mr. Weasley blocked Barty Crouch's wand, Looking directly into Mr. Crouch's piercing gaze.

To Harry's annoyance, Percy looked at them with suspicion, as if he was actually considering the possibility of them conjuring the Dark Mark.

"Barty," a witch wearing a long woolen dressing gown whispered, "it seems to me that it can't be them -" Many Ministry of Magic officials surrounding them thought that this green-eyed The boy is Harry Potter, and that's saying enough.If the Dark Mark appears in Harry Potter's presence, there is only one possibility. The person who summoned the Mark is calling his companions to kill Harry Potter.

But Barty Crouch was unmoved. Mr. Weasley couldn't stand Crouch's powerful gaze. He turned his head and asked anxiously,

"You three, where did this mark come from? What did you see?"

"Over there -" Hermione said in a trembling voice, "in the top box, we saw the mark flying up from the box -"

"Oh? From the box?" Mr. Crouch lowered his head, his eyes still scary. "You happened to see it. Is this just a simple coincidence?"

"Barty!" Mr. Weasley was not angry with Barty Crouch's questions. He stared into Barty Crouch's eyes again and said quickly,

"You must have recognized one of the three of them as Harry Potter, right? Do you think Harry Potter will conjure the Dark Mark? They are still students at Hogwarts. I believe Dumbledore Among the skills that Brian and Brian taught them, there is definitely no magic called the Dark Mark!"

When Mr. Weasley mentioned Dumbledore and Blaine, what he wanted to express was very clear. Even Crouch's cheeks twitched when he heard these two names.

"Why are you here? Dad said you followed Sirius and Professor Brain back to the tent?"

After Percy glanced at his father dissatisfied, he frowned and asked Ron.

"What do you mean?" Ron glared at his brother dissatisfied, "I have already said that we have nothing to do with that mark. We just saw it earlier than you did!"

"Answer the question, sir!" Crouch looked over Mr. Weasley's shoulder and pointed at Ron, "You are definitely not here to reminisce about the game, are you!"

Ron opened his mouth, but didn't speak.Because he noticed that his father was also looking at him with concern, and if he told everyone that they took the risk to find the gold that he won from Ludo Bagman but disappeared inexplicably, then I'm afraid Before his mother could take action, his father could skin him.

"We're looking for my wand-"

Harry caught Crouch's eye.

"We did follow Sirius and Professor Blaine back to the tent, but before going to bed, I found that my wand was missing, and then I remembered that the wand was left in the box. Ron and Hermione were afraid of danger on the road so they accompanied me. Come here, we didn’t go up because the stairs looked like they were going to collapse, and we were hesitant about what to do!”

Come here to find the lost magic wand?

This was indeed beyond the expectations of the people in the Ministry of Magic. However, after hearing Harry's words, Mr. Weasley tightened his cheeks and said, "You didn't let Sirius accompany you?"

Harry hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, which seemed to make Mr. Weasley even more angry. If it weren't for the special situation now, he would definitely have disciplined them.

"How did you get here?"

Mr. Diggory, who had previously escorted the foreign wizard who had stolen something, seemed to think that Harry and the others had made a very risky move. He smacked his mouth and asked in an incredible tone,

"The forest is full of our people, but no one has issued a warning. You certainly won't just walk over like this, right?"

At this point, Harry couldn't hide it any more, so he showed off the invisibility cloak that was balled up in his hand.

"Oh, invisibility cloak?"

Mr. Diggory said with slight surprise, "This thing is not cheap, but it can explain it clearly——"

Amos Diggory turned to look at Mr. Crouch, who was squinting at Harry's invisibility cloak.
"Look, should we go up and have a look?"
