The Bard of Hogwarts

Chapter 408 Blooming Fireworks

Pilton, Bristol.

The nights in the countryside are always peaceful.

When all was quiet and the stars were twinkling, a firework suddenly burst into bloom in the sky.

The dazzling light and shadow pierced the darkness, like flowers in a dream suddenly blooming in the night sky, so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

The sudden display of fireworks caused the elite wizards of the Enforcement Division, including Moody, to immediately and cautiously stop in their tracks.

No one would rush forward without first understanding the condition of the equipment.

……

however.

As the first firework burst into bloom, the night sky over Pilton Village instantly came alive.

"Bang! Bang bang..."

A series of explosions echoed in the sky, and with each explosion, a firework would bloom.

They bloom in all sorts of shapes and colors: red like fire, yellow like gold, green like jade, and blue like the ocean...

The vibrant colors, intertwined and reflected each other, transformed the night sky into a dreamlike fairyland.

Fireworks streaked across the sky like shooting stars, leaving behind dazzling trails of light.

When in full bloom, they resemble daisies, layer upon layer, displaying endless vitality; when they fade, they resemble stars, disappearing into the night sky, reflecting the brilliance of the real stars.

Such a sight was so magnificent that not only the Ministry of Magic's combat personnel, but even the Death Eaters on the field couldn't help but look up at this moment of glory.

Standing in this world, everyone's worries and sorrows seem to melt away at this moment, leaving only endless longing and emotion for beautiful things.

Lucius seemed to see the scene from his dream again: his family of five sitting in the manor, chatting happily.

Seeing beautiful things wasn't exclusive to Lucius; Bella, not far from him, was experiencing the same thing.

No one knows what this obsessive woman saw, but her once sharp and mean face is now filled with a pure and happy smile.

At that moment, her eyes were very clear.

……

The countryside nights become even more warm and romantic with the addition of fireworks.

Everyone present seemed to find solace in the fireworks, and rediscover a lost sense of beauty and tranquility.

Of course, apart from Voldemort.

With the failure of the first attack, Voldemort had already sensed something was wrong; the rules here seemed to have been distorted.

It's similar to a Transfiguration spell, except this one covers a much larger area, rendering all his attacks futile. The only way to escape this predicament is to leave the area.

However, although he understood the rules, he lacked the ability to deal with them at the moment.

His prized ability to fly is useless, because Svenburn can do that too, and Apparition is unusable due to a ban.

"Hahahaha...Bones!" Voldemort laughed almost maniacally.

The current predicament is simply due to the sealing of magic.

He didn't lose to Svenburn, he didn't lose to Dumbledore... but because of Amelia Bornes, he suffered a complete defeat.

Voldemort's madness was clearly captured on camera by Dumbledore, especially the look of fury on his face when he pronounced Bones's surname.

"Another one is retiring! That's great!" Dumbledore said with a broad smile.

It is foreseeable that after tomorrow, with the public sale of the video mirror, Emilia's prestige will surely soar to new heights.

With his position as head of the Ministry of Magic's top-ranked Department of Law Enforcement, coupled with his immense prestige, Fudge's retirement seemed like a natural progression.

After all, when a tree falls, its roots will inevitably bring out a lot of rotten mud.

……

It seems that many things are actually predetermined from the beginning.

Just like Amelia, if Voldemort hadn't killed her two brothers and family twenty years ago, this hatred wouldn't have continued to this day.

Similarly, once Ino opened the umbrella, the outcome of everything was already predetermined.

A beam of colored light shot out from the umbrella.

The beam of light didn't travel very fast, but instead of disappearing after shooting out like ordinary magic, it left a long trail in the air...

It's like the sky after the rain, slowly building a rainbow bridge.

But this kind of magic, released like that of a first-grader, struck Voldemort squarely.

As the spell struck, Voldemort was frozen in place, as if struck by a petrification spell.

……

A loud bang suddenly erupted in the brilliant night sky.

Amidst the colorful fireworks, a gigantic pattern suddenly burst forth.

It is shaped like a shield, but four animals are painted on it: a red lion, a blue eagle, an earthy yellow badger, and a bright green snake.

moment.

Below the shield, a line of brightly colored text appeared:

Do not disturb the sleeping dragon.

……

Voldemort was completely wiped out, transformed into a grand fireworks display.

The instigator, Ino, suddenly seemed to remember something, and smiled as she looked up at the sky.

The enormous firework representing the Hogwarts school emblem suddenly expanded countless times in size.

After being magnified to a certain extent, it suddenly dissipated, turning into countless colorful meteors that flew towards the ground.

In mid-air, these colorful shooting stars transformed into candies.

Exploding filled gummies, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Ice Mouse, Super Bubble Gum, Jelly Slug, Pink Coconut Ice Cream, Sizzling Honey Candy...

"Happy Halloween, Professor! Trick or treat!"

Ino turned to look at Dumbledore beside him and said softly:

"I'm sorry I didn't turn into a swarm of cockroaches; after all, bugs falling from the sky would be terrifying."

"That's enough! Really!" Dumbledore replied with a double entendre.

I don't know if they were saying there was enough candy, or something else entirely.

……

At the same time.

The elite combat troops brought by Amelia were somewhat busy at the moment.

All this candy and those animated furniture pieces could cause a huge problem if not handled properly and discovered by the Muggles.

"Never mind those teacups, your task now is to take those scum back to the Ministry of Magic."

Moody rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache; the shouting of seven or eight teacups made him very uncomfortable.

Although he couldn't honestly call himself a good person, he couldn't bear to hear those voices—the innocent cries for help, the pleas for their mothers…

Perhaps it's because he's getting old, but even though he knows it's all fake, he still feels a little reluctant to do it.

After the Aurors around him left, Moody gently bent down.

……

1996 10 Month 31 Day.

As it approached 11 p.m., the Hogwarts dinner party came to an end.

Although many people were still reluctant to leave, the thought of having a full day of holiday tomorrow made them stop lingering too long.

"Chirp~"

Then, a clear and melodious cry rang out once more.

Suddenly, a shower of candy rained down on the castle chapel, catching everyone completely off guard.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, many young wizards were stunned.

But after realizing what was happening, everyone straightened their robes and tried to catch as many of the candies falling from the sky as possible.

Amidst the lively scene, no one noticed that there were two extra people in the auditorium.

Dumbledore, sitting in the professor's seat, and Ino, sitting at the Slytherin table.

Meow, Voldemort's story is finally over. With no worries, Ino can start her own journey.
