HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 154 Warning

Sirius, who received letters from his niece and godson one after another, hurriedly rode his motorcycle to Hogwarts.

"Dumbledore, the Triwizard Tournament must stop!"

This was Sirius' only request when he found the principal.

"The game cannot be stopped." Dumbledore knew he would say this. "If I could have stopped it, I would have done so last night."

Sirius didn't understand. "It's just an ancient activity. Why can't it be stopped? It was stopped for hundreds of years before."

"That was before the champion was chosen," Dumbledore said. "Now that the champion has been chosen, the champion must participate in the competition. The Goblet of Fire has been enchanted by many powerful wizards, and the power of the contract cannot be broken even by me."

It is for this reason that Madam Maxime and Headmaster Karkaroff have no choice but to accept the current situation. The cost of breaking the Goblet of Fire Contract is too high, and the result may be only failure.

The elegant and handsome man dropped his shoulders, like a fire being suddenly extinguished.

His niece and godson were chosen to participate in this dangerous activity, but he himself could do nothing.

"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against two children." His voice was a little hoarse, "Harry dreamed that Voldemort wanted to murder him, and also mentioned Leah."

Dumbledore said in a weathered voice: "I know, so I will do everything I can with the professors to ensure their safety."

Sirius couldn't sit still at all. He paced back and forth in the office before asking, "Can you tell us the content of the competition so that they can prepare in advance? The other contestants are all adult wizards."

Dumbledore waved his hand. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I'm also one of the referees. Hogwarts already has two champions. If I reveal the content of the game, it will be completely unfair."

Hagrid's Hut -

Gloria received a message from other students that Sirius was coming to school and met Harry on the way, so they decided to go together.

When Hagrid came in, he was wiping tears from his eyes with a floral handkerchief. When he saw them, he immediately said in a sobbing voice, "Harry, Leah, you two poor children."

Gloria: “…”

Sirius immediately stepped forward and hugged the two of them, "I have consulted Headmaster Dumbledore about this matter."

"I didn't put my name into the Goblet of Fire!" Although he had explained it once in the letter, Harry couldn't help but emphasize it again when he saw his godfather.

Sirius nodded repeatedly and pulled the two of them to sit down, "I know neither you nor Leah would do that."

Hagrid covered his nose with a handkerchief, and the sound of blowing his nose was as loud as a small trumpet. "We all understand this, and we have also consulted Headmaster Dumbledore, but unfortunately the game cannot be stopped."

Harry immediately felt better, and except for a few people in the school, almost everyone thought that he had voted for it.

"The situation is very bad right now." Sirius said, "Headmaster Dumbledore cannot reveal the content of the game. I will find a way to find out the relevant information."

Harry immediately shook his head, "No, Sirius, my place is already unfair. If I knew the content of the game earlier than the warriors from the other two schools, that would really be considered cheating."

"But the game is dangerous, you are only fourteen years old--"

"It's okay. The competition is being monitored by professors, as well as the two directors of the Ministry of Magic." Gloria's tone was much calmer. "The school cannot use Apparition. Anyone entering or leaving will be carefully checked to prevent unknown portkeys from sneaking in. As long as we are careful enough, no one can take us out of the school, nor can they do anything bad to us in front of so many powerful wizards."

Harry nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Although he was originally uneasy, he was comforted by Gloria's words.

Yes, there is Headmaster Dumbledore in the school, and so many professors. Now his godfather will come to the school immediately because of a letter. He doesn't need to be afraid.

Sirius understood that the matter was a done deal. "I will be living in Hogsmeade for the time being. Please write to me as soon as you have any questions. Of course, I will come to the school to see you often."

Hagrid said gruffly, "Don't worry Sirius, I'll always be watching over the two kids too."

Yaya barked twice beside him.

"Thank you, Hagrid." Sirius thanked him sincerely, and then said to the two of them, "When you are in school, you must be careful of the headmaster of Durmstrang, Igor Karkaroff."

Gloria understood why he said that, but Harry didn't. "Why?"

Sirius explained: "Karkaroff has been formally tried and is confirmed to be a Death Eater. He made a deal with the Ministry of Magic and sold out a large number of Death Eaters in exchange for his acquittal. Now that he has become the headmaster of Durmstrang, it is impossible for him to turn over a new leaf. He is the most suspicious of all the personnel."

Harry couldn't believe it, "Karkaroff is..." He didn't see it at all.

Sirius continued, "It was Moody who caught him. Barty Jr. knew about the restart of the Triwizard Tournament because of Crouch, so Dumbledore invited Moody to be a professor. Moody had some problems before coming to the school, so it is very likely that someone wanted to stop him from taking up the post. Fortunately, nothing happened."

Harry immediately understood why Karkaroff had looked so frightened of Professor Moody at the entrance to the Great Hall that night.

Gloria didn't react much, but after hearing how Karkaroff got away with it, she wondered if Voldemort would be willing to use such a traitor again?

Out of curiosity she asked, "Who did he betray?"

"Many Death Eaters were arrested because of him, but there are two very useful names." Sirius had heard those Death Eaters curse in prison before, and he also learned more about them after he was released. "One is August Rookwood, a spy planted in the Ministry of Magic. At that time, he was in the Department of Mysteries, delivering information from the Ministry of Magic to the You-Know-Who. The other is Barty Crouch Jr., and this name eventually won him the credit for his acquittal."

The two Death Eaters exposed were both important members around Voldemort, and there were many other Death Eaters. Could it be that the guy was half dead and was willing to use such a complete traitor?

Gloria wondered if it was really Karkaroff who voted that night, while Harry was in a heavy mood.

It was getting late. Sirius stood up and touched the two children's heads. "Be careful not only of Karkaroff, but also of that warrior Durmstrang. As for the competition, just do your best. I will be there to watch. Don't be afraid if there is any danger. I will rush down to save you immediately."

Harry's eyes were red. After Sirius came back in the third grade, he felt the deep fatherly love. The panic brought by the nightmare in the summer vacation and the incident with the warriors this time, his godfather would come to his side immediately.

Looking at Sirius' haggard appearance and his gray eyes that showed genuine concern for them, Gloria's heart was touched. She suddenly stood up and hugged him, resting her head on his strong arms. Not only Harry regarded him as his father, but she herself sometimes did the same.

Sirius was a little flattered. Compared to Harry, Gloria looked calm and indifferent, and didn't seem to need him as much as Harry did. He felt depressed sometimes because of this, but Leah would always be his beloved niece and the only blood of Rael left in the world.

He stroked Gloria's thick blond hair and patted Harry's shoulder. "Go back. It's time to eat. Don't starve yourself."

Hagrid was about to cry again when he saw such a heartwarming scene. He quickly took out another clean handkerchief, stood up with his huge body, and the chair creaked. "I'll take them to the Great Hall."

Sirius stood at the door and watched them leave, waving when the two looked back. His figure was so tall and reliable.
