There's not much to say next.
Although the Triwizard Tournament is a major topic in many fan fictions that Ellie has read, this is because the protagonists want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and change history. However, Ellie does not plan to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, nor does she want to change history, so this plot - well, please refer to the original chapter for processing.
To summarize briefly, Harry joined the Triwizard Tournament, Harry passed three tests, Harry entered the maze, Harry got the trophy, Harry was teleported to Voldemort, Harry saw Voldemort resurrected, and then Harry was teleported back grabbing the trophy.
You see, one paragraph captures several months’ worth of content.
By the way, the only change in this process is Cedric's death. When Cedric and Harry went to grab the trophy together, Ellie directly manipulated the vines in the maze to knock him out.
So Harry was sent there alone, and then came back alone.
So... look at how unjustly Cedric died. It actually didn't matter whether he died or not. It had no impact on the plot at all.
Cedric died in vain.
Your death was so unjust.
Just like in the original novel, Harry Potter's testimony was once again ignored by the Ministry of Magic, who thought he was talking nonsense and that Voldemort could not possibly make a comeback - well, that's normal, after all, as long as we don't acknowledge it, then he doesn't exist. This is an old tradition of Western politicians, completely ignoring the beatings they've received from the materialistic world.
Of course, it's not right to say that the Ministry of Magic is completely stupid. After all, to be honest, Harry Potter really has no evidence to prove this. From the audience's point of view, the Ministry of Magic is indeed unreasonable. After all, everyone has witnessed the resurrection of Voldemort. But if you stand in the position of others, it's naturally a different story.
After all, words are not enough. It would be nice if you, Harry Potter, could bring back some evidence, but you didn't go anywhere - or you could tell us where you were teleported to, and then let Dumbledore investigate. After all, as the greatest wizard in the world, Dumbledore must be able to find some clues.
What happened? He couldn't produce anything, no information or clues, and he just kept shouting "Voldemort is back"... Who would believe it?
Oh, Muggles would believe it.
During this year's vacation, what Ellie did most often was to run around London and report to her "superiors" about the "resurrection of Voldemort".
There are two issues that these Downing Street gentlemen are most concerned about.
1. Will Voldemort attack them immediately after his resurrection?
Second, Voldemort’s resurrection spell…can they use it?
And Ai Li mainly answered these two questions.
The first problem is that the dark wizards led by Voldemort still look down on ordinary people. They will launch a full-scale attack on the government of the secular world after unifying the wizarding world. For Voldemort, his primary target is still Dumbledore and Hogwarts, and nothing else matters.
The second question is... this kind of resurrection technique is of course very difficult. Voldemort is considered the most powerful wizard, but he still tortured himself into this state. It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to use it.
After obtaining this information, Ellie also received instructions from her "superior" and demonstrated the power of witchcraft under the noses of those bigwigs - including the three unforgivable curses. After witnessing the horrific power of witchcraft with their own eyes, many bigwigs turned livid. They almost gasped for breath as they left the balcony, and then locked themselves in the conference room to discuss for a whole afternoon before finally coming to a conclusion.
Wizards must be strictly managed and controlled.
The top leaders have their own ways of contacting each other, and Ellie also reminded them that the magic world sent several wizards to the Prime Minister and the Queen to "protect" their safety. This immediately made many people angry and surprised, but as veterans who have been in politics for a lifetime, they certainly would not be afraid of wizards and fail to think of ways to deal with them.
The civilized world also began to move quietly.
Ellie knew this very well.
Various orders were sent to the Royal Air Force and the Ministry of Defence, with classified information circulated only on top-secret lines rather than by letter - because wizards did not like telephones, so they certainly did not have the skills to tap into them.
Ellie even thought it was a little funny.
Voldemort, the British Ministry of Defense, the Air Force, and MI6 were all secretly preparing to attack the wizarding world, but the Ministry of Magic was still acting as if nothing had happened. In fact, she felt that the Ministry of Magic would definitely not believe that Muggles dared to launch an attack on the wizarding world, and more importantly, that Muggles could actually collude with wizards to try to overthrow the entire wizarding world...
But Harry didn't find it funny, he was even a little angry.
He was forced to stay with his uncle and aunt for the entire summer vacation, and he was also attacked by Dementors. The Ministry of Magic wanted to investigate him, but Dumbledore was unwilling to tell him anything until Lupin and others, who had not been seen for a long time, showed up and took Harry to a strange place, the Order of the Phoenix.
This is the organization founded by Dumbledore to fight against Voldemort.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Harry.
That is, he didn't see any trace of Ellie in the Order of the Phoenix.
After meeting Lupin, Sirius and even Snape, Harry's doubts became more obvious. In Harry's opinion, Ellie was a very powerful teacher. She was very serious and earnest. Of course, she was not as difficult to approach as Professor McGonagall, but overall she was still a very good person. And as a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, she was also very powerful, so Harry didn't understand why she was not here.
But this is not what Harry needs to worry about at the moment. The most important thing for him is the trial of the Ministry of Magic - in order to expel the Dementors, he released the Patronus. This was the magic that Professor Ellie taught them in the semester when the Dementors searched the school. In that school year, they only learned how to deal with werewolves and use the Patronus. Of course, even so, not everyone can use the Patronus. In fact, for Harry, this is the first time he has successfully cast the magic of the Patronus.
He always felt that he had something to thank Ellie for.
Although Ai Li punished them by making them copy the book ten times each because they failed the werewolf test...
But now he followed Arthur, through the bustling crowd, towards the Ministry of Magic. Harry was very nervous at the moment, he didn't know what kind of punishment the Ministry of Magic would give him, although Ron and others comforted him by saying that the law allowed wizards to use magic when their lives were threatened, and his trial should be fine, but Harry still felt extremely uneasy.
This was especially true when he followed Arthur to the office and was notified that the time and place of the trial had been temporarily changed.
So when Harry entered the courtroom alone, sat on the cold chair, and looked at the fifty or so strangers in purple robes in front of him, the tension in his heart reached its peak.
"The trial on August 12th."
After seeing Harry sit down in his seat, Minister of Magic Fudge, who was sitting in the center, spoke.
"The trial of Harry James Potter, of 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, for breach of the Statute for the Reasonable Restraint of Minors of Wizardry and the International Statute of Secrecy."
His voice was so serious that Harry couldn't help but tense up.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Sorry, I don't think I'm late."
Hearing this voice, Harry turned around in surprise, and then he saw Ellie had come to the audience without knowing when. She still had that indifferent expression, nodded to Harry, and then sat on the chair. Seeing Ellie's appearance, Fudge's expression was somewhat stiff.
"Ms. Ellie... I didn't expect you to come and listen to this trial..."
"He is my student after all, so of course I have to come and sit in on his class."
Ellie raised her eyelids and glanced at Fudge.
"For reference, I also want to know how the Ministry of Magic convicts people."
“Uh… cough cough…”
Under Ellie's gaze, Fudge coughed awkwardly. At this moment, suddenly, another voice sounded again.
"And I, the witness for the defense: Albus Dumbledore."
With this voice, Dumbledore strode out from behind Harry, smiled, nodded to Ellie, and then turned to look at the trial seat in front of him. At this moment, Harry found that Fudge's expression was even uglier, but he still managed to keep himself calm and started the trial.
Of course, during the trial, Harry also explained why he used the Patronus - but this immediately aroused widespread doubts in the Ministry of Magic. Because in theory, all Dementors are under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and it is impossible for them to run to a residential area and attack others.
"That's nonsense, Harry, there's no way the Dementors are leaving Azkaban!"
"I don't think so."
Facing the furious Minister Fudge, Ellie spoke softly. Her voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in the ears of every wizard.
"If Minister Fudge wants to accuse Harry Potter of using magic in front of ordinary people, then I would like to ask why it is Expecto Patronus? As we all know, this magic has very high requirements for wizards. In fact, I have taught them this spell for a year, and no one has ever successfully performed it. If Harry Potter wants to use magic to play pranks or hurt someone, then he should not use a spell with a low success rate and high difficulty. This is unreasonable, isn't it?"
Hearing Ellie's question, some wizards on the trial bench nodded slightly, while the others did not speak but showed a thoughtful expression.
Indeed, as Ellie said, if Harry hadn't encountered Dementors, why would he use the Patronus?
Finally, the trial was over and Harry was found not guilty, but he was not very happy because after the trial, Ellie and Dumbledore left at the same time - no one went up to chat with them, and no one came to comfort him, which made Harry somewhat dissatisfied.
But in fact, they did not have the time, because after leaving the court, Dumbledore blocked Ellie's way.
"Miss Ellie, I have something I want to talk to you about."
As he spoke, Dumbledore stared at Ellie.
“It’s about the future of this world.”
