My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 518, Section 515: Entering the Maze

Most Death Eaters were somewhat baffled by the new system that Leon announced after arriving in Azkaban.

Before settling in Azkaban, many of these people were high-ranking politicians who controlled the upper echelons of the magical world.

The British Ministry of Magic's prison policies are of course very clear.

Since Azkaban was established as the only prison for wizards, all wizarding criminals in Britain have been sent to this prison.

Whether they are serious criminals who commit murder and arson, or minor criminals who commit petty theft.

However, the torture that serious offenders suffer is far greater than that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that was a minor offender is far greater.

Those criminals who are only imprisoned for a few years suffer more from the influence of their environment and the fear of Dementors.

For over a century, no one has challenged the policy that Azkaban is the only prison of the British Ministry of Magic.

But now, Leon has come here to announce that the British Ministry of Magic is preparing to build a new wizarding prison in Northern Ireland.

This inevitably aroused suspicion in these astute politicians, but they didn't know what to suspect.

Their crimes have been proven, and their sentences have been determined. With Leon's Aurors and the Dementors in Azkaban, they should no longer pose a threat.

Moving these people to a different prison would only increase the Ministry of Magic's financial burden, but would have no impact on anyone else.

Although the Death Eaters couldn't guess Leon and his group's intentions at the Ministry of Magic, even if they had, they wouldn't have been able to refuse.

Or rather, there is absolutely no need to refuse.

Even if these people are minor offenders, Azkaban is not a place where normal people can stay.

The number of Dementors shot has decreased, but they still need to influence the prisoners in the jail every day and absorb their positive emotions.

Malfoy and his men had had enough of this wretched place, and were naturally very willing to leave as soon as they learned they could.

So, under Leon's arrangement, these dozens of Death Eaters were taken by the Aurors to the newly built wizard prison in Northern Ireland.

Just as he said, it wasn't like Azkaban, located in the North Sea and dark and damp, but rather full of grass and sunshine. It was much more comfortable to stay there than on that island.

Meanwhile, the Death Eaters were moving the prison.

It is located in a small seaside town called Abrose in the far north of England.

The city's only nun, Rozier, gathered a group of elderly people in the hall.

They are all quite old, with even the youngest being over 70.

The elderly people sat quietly in the hall, their cloudy eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Rocher stood upright on the high platform of the auditorium, looking down at the people below.

"Are you all sure?"

"We decided on this 50 years ago."

The lame Smith, sitting at the very front, answered Rozier's question on behalf of everyone present.

Rocher watched them, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Then it's decided."

The third venue for the Triwizard Tournament was completed a week before the competition.

The Quidditch stadium is now completely unrecognizable.

It was surrounded by tall, long hedges, whether by magic or simply due to the trees themselves, it was unclear.

Outsiders have no way of seeing what's inside, nor can they hear the sounds coming from deep within.

The construction of the competition venue was not complicated, and Professor Sprout undoubtedly contributed the most to it.

These trees were all cultivated and nurtured by her recently.

Some of the obstacles and challenges were set up by the British Ministry of Magic.

To avoid suspicion, Hagrid did not participate in the affair.

On the day of the final, the audience from the four schools began to enter the stands around the Quidditch field in an orderly manner.

The principal and referees were also waiting at the entrance before the warriors arrived.

Lynn and his companions were soon led here by Professor Flitwick.

The rules are in the works, and the Director of the Sports Department, Balman, will explain them clearly.

The third game is actually quite simple: enter the maze and overcome the challenges within.

The first person to reach the center of the maze and claim the Triwizard Cup will be the ultimate winner of this Triwizard Tournament.

Their rankings in the first two matches will determine their specific entry time.

In other words, although Lynn, who won first place, will have a great advantage, the other three warriors are not without the possibility of making a comeback and winning the championship in this final.

Fleur, Krum, and Aniston were all naturally eager to try it out.

Lynn does seem invincible right now, but what if he makes a mistake in Game 3?

After all, the situation in the maze is ever-changing, and no one knows what kind of situation they will encounter in it.

All three of them felt they still had a chance.

The audience for this match wasn't just the students from the four schools.

The families of the four warriors who participated in the game were also picked up by the school.

Fleur, Krum, and Aniston, along with their parents, were all in the audience cheering them on.

Lynn's only remaining family member in the world, Grindelwald, of course wouldn't come out of Nurmengard and into the audience at this time.

However, the person shouting the loudest among the family and friends present was Umaru, who was already at Hogwarts. Beside her were Kira, who had come all the way from home, and Hermione, who had somehow ended up sitting next to her.

Before the entrance to the maze, Balmain personally read out the rules of the game to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final match of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me announce the current scores! Lynn Bellocchio – 90 points, first place, Hogwarts School!"

The applause and cheers startled the birds in the forbidden forest into the darkening night sky.

"Viktor Krum – 80 points, second place, Durmstrang Academy!"

Another round of applause followed.

"Fleur Delacour and Brie Aniston—tied for third place, representing Beauxbatons and Ilvermorny respectively!"

"Now follow my instructions, Lynn Bellok. You may enter the maze after I sound my whistle."

As Balman's brief whistle blew, Lynn, wand in hand, strode into the labyrinth of hedges.

The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the path, and whether it was because the hedges were so tall and dense, or because of some kind of magic, the audience could no longer hear him once he entered the maze.

After walking 50 meters forward while holding a glowing magic wand,

Lynn looked at the fork in the road and chose the left one without hesitation.

Tonight's match won't produce a champion, but he will undoubtedly take the Triwizard Cup.
