The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The Death Eater named Avery's face froze, and he thought to himself: Do you think everyone has an iron will like you?

Breaking free from the Imperius Curse is outrageous! You know, the person who put the curse on him was not a minor character, but a strong competitor for the Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch. Barty Jr. did something almost impossible.

Because of this, he holds a very high status among the Death Eaters.

Having said that, Avery must stand up and say something, otherwise if he is deemed useless by his master, it will be over.

So he patted his chest and assured Voldemort that his control over Karkaroff was foolproof. If something went wrong, he was willing to be punished.

Hearing what he said, Barty Crouch Jr. also looked away. Also, the probability of breaking away from the Imperius Curse is extremely low.

As for the Karkarlov they mentioned, it was naturally Durmstrang's principal, Igor Karkarlov. As a traitor, he should have been executed to shock others. But while Voldemort was interrogating him, he unexpectedly got a piece of news: the Triwizard Tournament was about to resume.

As the principal, Karkaroff naturally had some residual value that could be squeezed out, so Voldemort spared his life, but also ordered his subordinate Avery to use the Imperius Curse to control him.

It's not too late to wait until Voldemort's plan is over before killing him.

After Barty Jr. finished speaking, other Death Eaters also stood up one after another, describing what they had done this week and asking questions to their colleagues.

Exactly the same as the company’s weekly summary. However, since "President" Voldemort is not the kind of person to chatter, the meeting went very quickly. After ten minutes, the Death Eaters had nothing to say.

According to the rules, it was Voldemort's turn to speak. He will give new instructions to his subordinates. But Voldemort remained unusually quiet. He crossed his slender fingers and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling.

Voldemort didn't speak, and no one dared to speak or make other unusual actions.

After a while, as his men grew increasingly uneasy, he finally spoke.

"Everything was going very well and I thought it was time to go ahead with the plan - the room was empty."

He didn't say which plan it was, but the Death Eaters at the core knew that their master was plotting against Azkaban.

After Voldemort returned, he was short of manpower. Although this problem has been temporarily solved by joining forces with external forces, it ultimately treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

There are many loyal subordinates of Voldemort imprisoned in Azkaban. As long as they are released, this problem will be solved.

"Master, I am willing to go to Azkaban for you and negotiate with the Dementors..." Little Crouch, who was sitting on the left side of Voldemort, volunteered, hoping to serve as a negotiator to meet the Dementors.

"No." Voldemort responded quickly this time.

"Dementors are extremely evil creatures. If you don't have enough strength, you will only be used as nourishment by them."

Faced with his most loyal subordinates, Voldemort showed extraordinary patience.

"So, this time I will go to Azkaban personally to bring freedom to the servants there!"

The Death Eaters breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried about being sent to Azkaban by Voldemort.

The gathering at Lucius's house finally ended, and the Death Eaters left Malfoy Manor one after another. In the dead of night, an owl flew up from the manor and disappeared into the night.

…

"Welcome to Gryffindor! Drinks are flowing and we're sure to get high tonight!"

After the scores came out, the students at Hogwarts fell into a sea of ​​joy. In this joyful atmosphere, it would be a pity if there was not a grand party.

But considering Cedric's status as Hufflepuff, this party might be a no-go. Because the Hufflepuff common room does not allow people from other houses to enter, it is only Hufflepuff students who are high.

But something unexpected happened.

Cedric said that if everyone didn't object, he could choose the venue for the celebration in Gryffindor Tower. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Hufflepuff lounge; Ravenclaw's young wizards like to be quiet, so holding a party there does not seem to be a good idea; as for the Slytherin lounge, there is no need to explain. Therefore, Gryffindor Tower is truly the best place to celebrate.

After hearing the news, the young Gryffindor wizard was ecstatic, and the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students also had smiles on their faces. Although many Badger Academy students felt a little pity, they were not so pity when they thought that more people could come to celebrate Cedric's victory.

The only ones suffering were the Slytherin students. But there is nothing we can do about it. Who makes them so unpopular? Cedric did not prohibit them from participating in the celebration. As long as they were willing to lose a little face, they could also enjoy the joy.

The Gryffindor Tower that Cedric was looking for could be said to be the greatest common denominator among several houses, and it was also the most suitable place for a party.

"Come on, Tom, let's go have fun together!" Cedric squeezed in front of Tom with a blushing face and hugged him around the neck.

"Okay, okay, but let go first!" Tom was so choked that he almost lost his breath and could only nod his head repeatedly.

"Okay! Friends, let's move forward!" Cedric shouted, and other little wizards in the stadium responded with cheers. Everyone walked to Hogwarts Castle singing and dancing. Along the way, someone set off a few Weasley's Wizard Wheezes fireworks from time to time.

"I'm really surprised that you made this choice." Tom said, looking at Cedric's handsome face.

"What's the surprise?" Cedric stopped waving his arms and turned to look at Tom.

"You're actually willing to choose the place to celebrate in Gryffindor Tower... I mean, you're a Hufflepuff."

Cedric shrugged his shoulders, "It has nothing to do with which house I am in. If I like, I can even stay in the Potions classroom."

"Then Professor Snape will definitely teach you a lesson you will never forget."

Both of them laughed heartily.

"To be honest," Cedric's expression turned serious after he finished laughing, "I have my own reasons for doing this."

Cedric looked very serious at this time.

"Tom, don't you think the students at Hogwarts are a little too... too..."

"Split?"

"Yes, that's the word. The four major houses are really too divided." Cedric nodded, "Gryffindor and Slytherin are in conflict, let alone Ravenclaw and Hutch. The relationship between Patch isn’t that friendly, right?”

The second one is a little later.
