Chapter 288: Fake Sorting Hat

"Finally the fight is about to start. It's really disgusting how chaotic things have been these days."

As for this dispute, many viewers are as happy to see it happen as Voldemort himself.

For some dark wizards and viewers with dark personalities, it is really disgusting that they are clearly competitors but help each other like a family.

And now the fight is finally about to begin.

Krum can transform into a ghost after exchanging the [Magic Circuit].

The magical fairy spirit of Fleur Delacour, the sister of the greatest white wizard.

Harry Potter's magical fairy spirit and the savior's mother.

The winner of the first game, Cedric Diggory, is a young Voldemort who can transform into various magical creatures.

and this world's Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, Professor of Transfiguration Minerva McGonagall.

Who will get the Sorting Hat?

"Who are you?" Professor McGonagall frowned.

The sea of ​​mud that enveloped her was already gleaming with metallic luster under the effect of the transfiguration.

The sharp weapon condensed in it, making a clanging sound of metal collision.

She raised the tip of her knife towards the two enemies within her field of vision.

("That's it?" Ron was a little incredulous. "What's the point of making some sharp weapons? It's just a matter of Transfiguration.")
(Once, in a fit of rage, he threw daggers at Fred and George, only for them to randomly wave their wands and the daggers turned into paper airplanes.)
(Hermione grumbles at Ron's ignorance.)
(After calming down, she explained: "This is a powerful tool created by Transfiguration. It is as difficult to transform as a magic item. The specific difficulty depends on the level of Transfiguration of the caster.")
("What about the protection spell? I'll cast an Shield Charm, or I'll just cast Devil's Fire." Ron stiffened his neck and racked his brains to find the name of the spell.)
("Do you need me to tell you about the advanced applications of Transfiguration?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Attaching magic to the transformed object is the most common operation. As an extension of magic, it is not difficult.")
("This becomes a battle between magic and magic. If your magic is stronger than the Ironclad Charm or the Fiery Charm cast by the opponent, you will naturally be able to defeat the opponent.")
(The conversation between the two ends here, as Ariana begins to attack Krum.)
The exquisite silver gauntlet with a hollowed-out phoenix pattern appeared on Ariana's right wrist.

"[Nirvana, Immortal Fire Phoenix]"

The air suddenly became hot and distorted.

Huge wings of fire appeared behind her, making her look like a god wielding fire.

"How could this be?" Professor McGonagall couldn't believe that the aftermath alone made her body tremble.

She had only seen such power in Dumbledore.

The rising temperature forced her to subconsciously deform the mud sea again. The frost spread and evaporated into mist, making her look ethereal. Her slightly reddish skin also turned back to white.

What surprised her even more was the face.

After the Salem witch incident, the best way to judge the strength of an opponent is to look at his face.

The more beautiful the witch is, the older she is and the more powerful she is.

But the witch in front of him who caused such a huge momentum had a mediocre and boring face.

This may mean that the results of the Salem Bloodline Potion have been cracked and modified.

("Why do I keep looking at Ariana's face? The Sorting Hat is the core of the [Mother and Child River]." Professor McGonagall was surprised.)
(Dumbledore saw the reason behind this, but he rejected this answer because he thought his sister was the cutest in the world.)
(So ​​he skipped the first question.)
("Perhaps she doesn't know that the Sorting Hat is the core of the [Zi Mu River].")
(This seemed normal to him. Perhaps Minerva thought that he and she could talk about anything and had no secrets.)
(But that wasn't the case, just like Voldemort's real name, which he wouldn't have told her if it hadn't been for the events of second year.)
Ariana paid no attention to Professor McGonagall.

In her eyes, only Krum could be considered his rival.

Out of empathy, and to avoid further damage to the principal's office, she flew high into the air.

Krum, his head invisible, followed closely behind.

Riddle, who turned into a ball-bird, changed his form again and became the Golden Snidget - a magical creature with an extremely fast flying speed. The Golden Snitch was its replacement after it became endangered.

(The screen that was currently divided into four sides now splits into eight sides.)
(As Ariana and Riddle flew away, Cedric also turned into a shadow, and Fleur turned into a fairy and flew away at the corner.)
(Dumbledore suddenly realized after seeing this scene, "I understand. In this world, there is a distance limit between the Heroic Spirit and the original body.")
("Except for those like Krum whose magic fairy weapon's ability is to split into two parts, after reaching the limit distance, the main body must move with the movement of the heroic spirit.")
("What a pity, Krum," sighed Professor McGonagall.)
(Because Krum, who was in the corridor on the eighth floor, did not realize this and failed to stop Fleur and Cedric in time.)
(If they were stopped, Ariana and Riddle would not be able to fly away from the tower, and they would have to face her in this world.)
And now, Professor McGonagall was looking at the headmaster's office with a huge hole in it, and the intruders had turned into two small dots in the sky.

She could only turn her attention to the office.

With a wave of her bare hands, the dust on the ground condensed into pieces, and the principal's office was repaired as if time had gone back.

The frosty sea of ​​mud that enveloped her also returned to the corridor and returned to its original state.

Harry and Krum were still standing by the entrance to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor.

("Harry has given up?" Ron heard Dumbledore say.)
(In the picture, Harry and his mother are still standing there without moving.)
(As for Cedric and Furong, due to the high-speed movement, the live broadcast image - that is, everything in front of them turned into afterimages.)
Harry hadn't given up, in fact he was communicating with his mother.

"Mom, what do you mean--"

"Yes, it's just as you guessed."

"The Sorting Hat they're fighting over now is fake? Is that real?"

"Still in the principal's office."

"Then me?"

"Don't move yet. Professor McGonagall is still in her office looking for something missing."

"How about just do it like you did with Hagrid?"

Harry didn't suggest this because he thought Professor McGonagall might know where the real Sorting Hat was.

Instead, after the commotion, all classes ended and students were asked to return to the lounge.

He can't stay here for long.

And
"Let's go back quickly, it's too dangerous here." Draco hugged Harry and was about to pull him downstairs.

Ron was rarely jealous, and just looked at him reluctantly with Harry, "Let's go quickly, in case those dark wizards come back again..."

At the same time, the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer.

Judging from the smell, the professors are coming this way.

It’s such a mess, all of this.

First, Krum hid it from them and sneaked into the office alone.

Fleur and Cedric found out without informing him and also sent out Heroic Spirits to act.

If Ariana hadn't caused such a scene, he and his mother wouldn't have known about it.

At this moment, Ariana, who was speeding thousands of feet in the sky, was thinking the same thing.

She thought it was only Krum who was chasing her, but the afterimage of Cedric that Fleur saw indicated that Cedric's spirit, Tom Riddle, had also been released and was following her, lurking in the dark, ready to reap the benefits.

This forced her, who had originally been preparing for a big fight with Krum, to conserve her strength and try to use her speed to get rid of him.

Krum knew nothing about this.

He only had eyes for Ariana as his opponent.

"You don't have to waste your energy anymore." Under the influence of the ghost body, even though Krum's speed exceeded the speed of sound, he did not produce a sonic boom.

He even processed his own voice and transmitted it to Ariana's ears in the form of a line.

"You have to understand that my [Path] was based on [Winged Fairy]. If I want, I can easily catch up with you."

Krum's words brought Ariana's IQ back to its peak.

With a loud bang, Ariana, who was moving at supersonic speed, instantly dropped to zero and stopped where she was.

"Are you finally ready for a real fight?" The man who seemed to be Krum but was actually Fabian Prewett asked.

"Heroic spirits can share the Contractor's [Path]," Ariana said something that seemed irrelevant, "In addition to the high-precision manipulation of magic power, Fleur's [Path] also possesses superb senses."

"What do you mean?" Krum frowned.

"There is a third person hiding in the shadows," Ariana said, "You can check to see if Cedric is still in the castle."

"You mean Voldemort is hiding in the dark?" Krum was surprised at first. "It is indeed possible. He should be able to transform into a magical beast like Cedric. But...what does it have to do with whether he is there or not?"

In the corridor on the eighth floor, Krum scanned the crowd and found that Fleur and Cedric were not there. Only Harry was left not far away.

Professor Flitwick and his colleagues arrived and were asking Harry and the others questions.

"You don't know?" Ariana was surprised. "That's right, you are the only exception among us. I'm sending you a message. In this world, heroes can't be too far away from wizards."

Krum breathed a sigh of relief. Now the only person lurking around was young Voldemort.

"However, it seems that our friends are not ready to show up yet."

His eyes began to search among the clouds.

There are many magical creatures that can fly and keep up with their speed, and it does not rule out those that cannot fly.

Just because you've transformed, it doesn't mean you can't use flying magic.

But he was still thinking too much.

As his eyes wandered, Riddle emerged from the clouds, with no intention of remaining hidden.

"As expected, you are Dumbledore's sister. When did you find out?" Riddle looked at Ariana.

Ariana blinked, but chose to lie, "Your movements weren't very natural when you were passing through the clouds."

If she were to tell the truth, she was afraid Riddle would be furious.

"I see," Riddle exclaimed, "I almost forgot that in your time, the Golden Snidget was not yet endangered."

“I’m not familiar with it either.”

"I should have known this earlier. I'm very confident you can't tell the difference."

Ariana suddenly realized that the golden light she had just seen was Riddle.

She didn't expose the truth, but said seriously, "Now there are three of us, and there is only one Sorting Hat. All you want is contribution points."

"Our mission is to protect the [Zi Mu River] from being destroyed."

"In this case, why don't we open up and find a safe place to set up a magic trap and hide it."

"The level of our contribution depends on our respective magic levels."

Krum and Riddle nodded, "Good idea."

Ariana was too powerful in her magical state, and they had no confidence that they could capture her without hurting the Sorting Hat.

"I disagree," the Sorting Hat objected.

But the three ignored it and flew directly along the train tracks towards London. They planned to hide somewhere in the wilderness beside the road.

(Ron was surprised, "Isn't this fake? How can it still talk?")
(Ginny said unhappily, "Is it difficult to make a talking fake? Our mirrors can talk.")
("Then the winner will be Harry." Hermione looked at the two screens of Harry, but something unexpected happened.)
After Professor McGonagall checked the headmaster's office, she left when she saw that Dumbledore had not returned.

Lily, who was hiding in the ceiling, also left.

There was no intention of staying to look for the real Sorting Hat.

At the door, after listening to everything Harry and the others said and exchanging information with Professor McGonagall, the professors led by Professor Flitwick began to think deeply.

"So the prophecy is likely to be true?"

"So there are four people eyeing a treasure located in Hogwarts?"

"Perhaps all four of them created it, so they are considered immortals."

Because Harry and the others were present, they did not mention the term Horcrux.

"There are now two, no, maybe three."

"And if the three of them failed, the remaining one will make another attempt before midnight?"

"No, they have succeeded." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "The Sorting Hat has been stolen. And I only saw two people, a man and a woman. The man had no head and the woman looked very ordinary. They were both very powerful."

"The Sorting Hat?"

Some professors began lip syncing.

(Dumbledore recognizes it. "The Sword of Gryffindor?")
("They think that treasure is the sword of Gryffindor?" Professor McGonagall was surprised.)
(The Sorting Hat is a magical portal that can be used to obtain another item owned by Godric Gryffindor: the Sword of Gryffindor.)
(The sword was enchanted by Godric to appear when any Gryffindor student asked for help wearing the hat.)
("How could they think that? Only a true Gryffindor could pull out the sword.")
(In Professor McGonagall's eyes, a true Gryffindor could never be a bad guy, but the professors in this world equate the imaginary bad guy with the person who drew the sword, which is very rude.)
"Ordinary-looking?"

(Dumbledore's face turned black, while Aberforth Dumbledore in the Hog's Head Inn directly cursed, "You are fucking ordinary-looking, my sister is the cutest in the world!")
"Has Voldemort been cracked?"

The professors present, like Professor McGonagall before him, thought of the problem of the wizarding bloodline being cracked after sublimation.
