After Dumbledore left with Harry, Allen, who was hiding behind a tombstone far away from them, revealed himself. He first retracted his modified mirror, and then approached the place where Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort fought for a while to observe the tombstones that were damaged by magic. After that, he transformed into a phoenix and teleported back to the Hogwarts.
In the darkness of the night, apart from a few uniformed Auror and a few unlucky Auror who would occasionally groan in pain when talking to others, the spectator stands seemed to have returned to order.
Allen glanced around and saw Luna and Hermione waving at him from their seats. Allen nodded at them and walked towards Dumbledore and Harry.
Dumbledore, who was checking Harry, noticed Allen and waved to Allen to come closer. "Allen, I'm glad to see that you're okay."
"I'm sorry, Principal Dumbledore. It's different from the plan. I was teleported to another place. The Death Eaters there began to cast a spell to prohibit phantom transfiguration as soon as they saw me, so the Aura couldn't come immediately. Then they began to attack the Hungerford Bridge. I had to be delayed by them there. Otherwise, a train full of Muggle would have met with misfortune." Allen took the initiative to explain.
Dumbledore waved his hand and turned to Kingsley and Harry who were standing beside him. "Kingsley, please help me check on Harry. Harry, your friend is obviously worried about you. You must have a lot to talk about. You've been very brave today. In a while, we will officially award the trophy of this tournament. After that, you should go and have a good sleep. Don't let the destruction of these Death Eaters affect us. Let's talk about other things later. "
Harry saw Ron standing behind a pillar and winking at him. Although he still had a lot to ask them, in the end, he nodded to Dumbledore and Allen and walked to the side with Kingsley to continue the examination.
"Their attack on the stadium also succeeded in delaying me for a few minutes. Allen, will you admit that the Lord Voldemort has returned during the interview? "After making sure that they had left, Dumbledore did not continue to delve into the reason why Allen did not come.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster. You know that I didn't really see whether the mysterious man was resurrected or not," Allen put some distance between him and Dumbledore and deliberately replied in a diplomatic tone.
"Kingsley told me what happened at the Ministry of Magic tonight. Is power really that important to you?" Dumbledore's face was dirty from the gravestone stone powder and he had not had time to wash it off. His robe was also covered with mud, which made him look even older and more tired after a duel.
Regardless of whether Dumbledore cared about the sacrifice of others or what his methods were, looking at this old man who basically spent the rest of his life protecting the safety of the Wizard World, Luo Rui felt guilty. He let out a long sigh and looked up at Dumbledore. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end, he only said one sentence. "I'm sorry, power is very important to Harris."
"Now," Ludo Barman said loudly. Bargman's voice rang out like a large bell. "Ladies and gentlemen, although there were some small accidents during the competition, we cannot let those dark Magi's schemes succeed. This competition we are holding must have a perfect ending. Now, the results of the competition are out. Please return to your seats as soon as possible. We will soon give out the awards to the Warriors. "
The rostrum where Ludo Barman was standing was magically illuminated, allowing all the spectators to see what was happening on the rostrum. The spectators who had scattered all over the place gradually returned to their seats.
"Now, let us give a round of applause and welcome the Warriors to the stage!" Barman shouted.
Allen turned into a phoenix and flew into the sky, hovering in the air and emitting a clear and melodious cry. A reply came from another direction. Fawkes also appeared in the night sky. Two golden phoenixes flew around the arena in the dark night sky. Hearing their song-like cries, infinite courage and hope welled up in the hearts of the spectators.
When Allen landed on the rostrum, the other Warriors were already on the stage. Krum and Carla's eyes were dazed. They sat on the rostrum in a daze. It seemed that they had not completely recovered from the damage caused by the Soul Seizing Curse. Perhaps it would take some time for them to recover.
When Barman announced Allen's identity as the champion, Allen received the trophy and prize money from Dumbledore amidst thunderous applause.
Soon, reporters from various newspapers and magazines pushed and shoved each other into the rostrum.
They kept asking the Warriors how they felt about the competition and the attack that had happened that night.
Allen, Harry, and Dumbledore were the ones who received the most attention. They were the main targets of the reporters' interviews. Several topics in the interviews also became the hot topics that various media outlets scrambled to report on the next day.
The biggest hot topic was that Dumbledore and Harry claimed that the Mystery Man had returned.
As the champion, Allen received the most attention, especially the few Aura who had arrested the Death Eaters with Allen at the Hungerford Bridge. She clearly explained how Allen fought hard, repaired the Hungerford Bridge, and saved Muggle.
"Mr. Allen Harris, is it true that Principal Dumbledore and Mr. Harry Potter said the Mystery Man had returned? Did you see him? "
"As Mr. Aura said just now, I only fought with some Dark Wizards at the Hungerford Bridge. I didn't see the resurrection of the Dark Lord with my own eyes. I can't confirm the authenticity of this matter," Allen said with a smile.
Harry looked at Allen in surprise. After the interview, he immediately told Hermione about his doubts. "I don't understand. Before our competition, Allen told me that we risked our lives to kill the Lord Voldemort. Then why didn't he prove to us that the Lord Voldemort had returned during the interview? "
"Harry, Allen must have his own reasons …" Hermione was about to defend Allen when she was interrupted by Ron.
"You shouldn't believe in these pure-bloods, Harry! Besides, people aren't happy to see his return. " As soon as Ron finished speaking, Hermione's glare made him shrink his neck. He had to resist the urge to continue badmouthing Allen. She had just killed a Dark Wizard with a spell! Then, as if he suddenly realized something, he quickly asked Harry, "The Mystery Man? Did he really come back? "
"Yes, I saw his resurrection process with my own eyes. The witch named Bellatrix Lestrange was very crazy. Originally, when the Lord Voldemort resurrected, he chose the other Death Eaters, but the witch suddenly ran out crazily and asked why it wasn't her. She even offered her hand to help the Mystery Man complete the evil resurrection spell, "Harry said.
Hermione heard Harry talking about Bella, and her eyes flashed. "Why it wasn't me?" This sounded a bit like how Penello felt about Allen. If Allen encountered such a situation, Penello would definitely not allow herself and Luna to offer their hands to Allen before she did.
Neville clenched his fists when he heard Harry say the name Bellatrix Lestrange. "She cut off her hand?" Neville asked.
"Yes, but the Lord Voldemort rewarded her with a shining hand, as bright as the moonlight. According to the introduction of the Lord Voldemort to Bella, this is an imitation he made based on the information in a book about the artifacts left behind by an ancient Lich named Vikna — Vikna's Magic Palm. However, although it is only an imitation, the power of the hand seems to be very great, as if it can absorb the vitality of the things it touches. "
