Train to Another World.

Chapter 571 Past Events

However, this time, no new defendants were escorted to the stage. Instead, Li Zhuoguang walked to the center of the venue and spoke freely: "Last school year, I encountered a dark wizard possessed by Voldemort's residual spirit in Hogwarts."

After hearing what Li Zhuoguang said, many people were shocked: "Mr. Li, since you met him a year ago, why..."

"Why didn't you report it? Of course I did, but now it seems that no one knows about it. I killed the dark wizard last year, but unfortunately Voldemort's spirit escaped. I realized the seriousness of the matter at that time, so I decided to report it.

Before I came here, I had heard rumors about the British Ministry of Magic. Although I didn't agree with many of the comments, I deliberately chopped off the head of the dark wizard just in case.

Because Voldemort had been attached to the back of his head for a long time, a quick check would show that what I said was true. I thought that after all, I was an outsider, and the incident happened in Hogwarts, so I entrusted the respected Headmaster Dumbledore to do this.

But after Headmaster Dumbledore presented the head to the Ministry of Magic, I didn't see any action from the Ministry of Magic. I asked, but the answer I got was that the Ministry of Magic was handling the matter.

At that time, I was still optimistic and thought that the Ministry of Magic was planning a big game to catch Voldemort and his followers in one fell swoop.

But what I didn't expect was that this year, Voldemort would actually collude with foreign forces and take advantage of the Triwizard Tournament to retaliate against me and Harry. I even learned of their plan through my own channels, but the Ministry of Magic has not made any move yet.

So I decided to take care of this myself. I apologize to everyone for being a little rude in inviting you here, but it’s urgent and I don’t want to let anyone know. ”

The wizards of the Wizengamot waved their hands.

They are all political veterans, and just now they were frightened by Voldemort's residual power and were very nervous. But now that Voldemort is dead, the smart IQ has taken the upper hand again.

Looking around, it was not difficult to find that the Wizengamot members present were all those who had accepted Percy Weasley's requests for help before, or those who had not explicitly refused.

Li Zhuoguang contacted everyone through Percy and asked them to help Harry Potter. At that time, they thought that this was just Li Zhuoguang mobilizing his connections to help his friends, and at most it was a bit of forcing them to take sides.

But considering what is happening now, this is laying a minefield! Who is Harry Potter? You don't even help him when he comes to you. What do you mean?

No matter what those people were considering at the time, it would be a bit awkward if they were not here today.

"…In summary, I now impeach the Minister of Magic, Fudge Cornelius, for harboring evil intentions and covering up the fact that Voldemort has been resurrected. I propose that he be removed from his position as Minister of Magic and subject to investigation."

The results were quicker this time.

Is Connelly a twenty-eight pureblood?
No.

Is Connelly really that strong?

No.

Is Connelly the man everyone expected?

No.

So the question is, what does Connelly have?
Of course it's Dumbledore's support.

So did Arthur Weasley, who was present, speak up to defend him?

No.

How could he not be doomed?
The interim trial ended early, and the Triwizard Tournament also came to an abrupt end.

The young wizards at Hogwarts had no idea what happened on the night of the third task. They only saw Li Zhuoguang and Harry being taken away, and then Principal Dumbledore announced the end of the competition.

Because an accident occurred during the competition, there was no champion in this competition, but everyone saw Li Zhuoguang's performance in the competition.

What is more shameful than 8:0? When the goalkeeper was knocked down by the opponent, the opponent did not shoot but stopped the ball in front of the goal and started to do the hand-waving dance, and did it eight times in a row!
Even if the final score is 0:0, it’s worse than 8:0.

Li Zhuoguang's behavior was almost the same. Although the Triwizard Tournament was restarted, everyone knew that the other two magic schools would never come again.

It was already late at night when Li Zhuoguang and Harry returned to the common room. As soon as they returned to the common room, they were surrounded. Li Zhuoguang only said that he would read the newspaper tomorrow and went back to sleep. The Slytherins did not dare to disturb him.

As for Harry, it was after he had been surrounded for a long time that the twins noticed that his demeanor was abnormal. They quickly joined forces with Percy to disperse the others and sent him to the medical wing.

Fortunately, after checking with Madam Pomfrey, she found that he had only suffered some stimulation. After feeding him a dose of Hell Potion, he went to sleep in the hospital wing.

The next morning the owls arrived with the latest copy of the Daily Prophet.

Most of the young wizards at Hogwarts have never seen what Voldemort himself looks like. Today they have a treat as they get to see the naked version of Voldemort.

After all, The Daily Prophet is the largest newspaper in the British wizarding world and a formal newspaper. Of course, formal newspapers have a review department that will delete content and photos that are too explicit or inappropriate.

But Lucius Malfoy is the censor, and if he says no deletions are allowed, then it really cannot be deleted.

Before this, because of the influence of their parents, young wizards would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they heard the name Voldemort, even if they had never seen him in person.

But now, the image of the little white worm is deeply rooted in people's minds. Whenever someone mentions Voldemort, the soft, white worm will always come to mind.

What else is there to be horrified about?
At Li Zhuoguang's instruction, The Daily Prophet concealed his work.

Harry Potter's double killing of Voldemort brought his fame to a new peak. But Harry knew that Voldemort's case had not yet been resolved.

In the principal's office, Li Zhuoguang showed a bare ring to everyone: "This is one of the Horcruxes, the ring of the Gaunt family. I removed the resurrection stone on it. It's not a good thing."

As he said that, Li Zhuoguang destroyed the ring in front of everyone and concluded: "Diary, gold cup, jewelry box, crown, ring, only two of the seven Horcruxes are left." Sirius rubbed his hands and said: "Where are the remaining two? You must know their whereabouts, right?"

Harry was about to speak, but Li Zhuoguang held his shoulder.

Li Zhuoguang said to Sirius: "There is another Horcrux that needs your help to get."

Snape was somewhat dissatisfied and said in a deep voice: "Why does it have to be him?"

Li Zhuoguang didn't say anything, just blinked at him.

Sirius gave Snape a provocative look and patted his chest: "Just leave it to me."

Before anyone else could ask, Li Zhuoguang summoned Kreacher and teleported him and Sirius away. About half an hour later, Li Zhuoguang and Sirius reappeared in the principal's office.

Li Zhuoguang was fine, but Sirius was lying on the ground, looking like he was about to die. Kreacher's face was extremely ugly, and he was still crying, but from the look of him, he didn't seem to be sad for Sirius.

Harry was shocked and tried to help him, but Sirius struggled to stand up. A smile appeared on his pale face: "I got it. I didn't expect it to be a locket."

When Snape saw the familiar locket and looked at Sirius' miserable condition, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Li Zhuoguang also said to Sirius calmly: "Since you worked so hard to get the Horcrux, then you can open it yourself and take a look."

Sirius opened the Horcrux easily, but saw only a small note. He unfolded the note and saw handwriting familiar to Sirius.

Li Zhuoguang ordered Kreacher, "Tell him what happened that year."

Kreacher wiped his tears and began to recount what happened that year. His voice was suppressed as he spoke.

"It's a good thing that Sirius left, because he was a bad boy who always broke the rules and broke the heart of the mistress... old Madam Black. But Regulus was well-educated, and he knew what the Black family name and his own noble pure blood meant.

For years, he had spoken of the Dark Lord, the one who would bring wizards out of hiding and rule over Muggles and Muggle-borns. At sixteen, Regulus had joined the Dark Lord's group. So proud, so proud, so happy to serve.

Then one day, a year after he joined, Regulus came down to the kitchen to see Kreacher. Regulus had always liked Kreacher. Regulus said… he said… he said the Dark Lord needed a house-elf.

Everyone looked at Kreacher. The glory of the Black family had already dimmed when Sirius was still in school. In Sirius's branch, Kreacher was the only house-elf.

"Regulus had volunteered Kreacher. It was an honor, Regulus said, an honor that belonged to him and Kreacher. Kreacher must do whatever the Dark Lord ordered... and then return... home.

So Kreacher went to the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord didn't tell Kreacher what to do, he just took Kreacher to a cave by the sea. Deep inside the cave was a cave, and in the cave was a big black lake... and there was a boat..."

Sirius' scalp tingled when he heard this, because that was where he had just been taken.

"There was a basin full of medicine... potion on the island. The Dark... the Dark Lord made Kreacher drink it... Kreacher drank it, and when he drank it he saw horrible things... Kreacher felt like fire was burning inside him... Kreacher cried out for Regulus to save him, he cried out for old Madam Black, but the Dark Lord just laughed... He made Kreacher drink all the potion... He put a box in the empty basin... He filled it up with more potion."

Hearing this, Sirius felt himself starting to feel uncomfortable again.

"Then the Dark Lord rowed away, leaving Kreacher alone on the island. Kreacher needed water, so he crawled to the edge of the island and drank from the black lake... Hands, dead hands, reached out of the water and pulled Kreacher under...

But Kreacher remembered the order of his master Regulus. Kreacher must return...return home."

Sirius suddenly remembered the note in the locket. It was impossible for Voldemort to leave the locket without checking it. He immediately asked Kreacher, "What happened next?!"

"Regulus is worried, very worried," Kreacher said hoarsely, "Regulus told Kreacher to stay in the house and not go out.

Then... after a while... one night Regulus went to his cupboard to find Kreacher, and Kreacher could see that Regulus was very strange, different from usual, and his mind seemed very confused... He asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, to the cave where Kreacher had been with the Dark Lord.

Once in the cave, Regulus pulled out a box similar to the Dark Lord's from his pocket."

As he spoke, Kreacher's tears flowed down both sides of his big nose: "He told Kreacher to take it with him, and once the stone basin was empty, to replace the box... He also ordered... Kreacher to leave... him.

He also told Kreacher... to go home... not to tell the old lady... what he had done... and to destroy... the first box. He drank... all the poison... Kreacher changed the boxes... and watched... Regulus... being dragged under the water by the Inferi... being..."

Everyone was silent, even Snape, who had always been at odds with Sirius, had a grim expression and kept silent. It seemed that they all saw a seventeen-year-old hero being dragged into the water by the Inferi.

"No! No, he can't be like this!" Sirius grabbed his hair in despair, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes.

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Sirius and said, "This is why I asked you to retrieve the locket. Although I have never met him, I think this is what you should experience. Don't think of escaping when you encounter something in the future.

I have already wiped out all the Inferi there. When you recover, let Kreacher take you back to find Regulus' body..."

Sirius suddenly pounced on Kreacher and picked him up. He stared at him with red eyes and shook him constantly: "Take me back! Take me back quickly! Now!"

Unfortunately, he is no longer Kreacher's master. Kreacher looked at Li Zhuoguang.

Li Zhuoguang immediately cast a Stunning Spell to knock Sirius unconscious, and said to Kreacher, "Take him back to rest."

After Kreacher bowed to Li Zhuoguang, he disappeared with Sirius. After they disappeared, the headmaster's office fell into a long silence, and no one was in the mood to talk.

At this time, Li Zhuoguang took out a letter from his arms and said, "Let's put aside the bad things for now and tell you some good news. The Li family has found Nagini and it is on its way. It is expected to arrive tonight."
