Chapter 297: A Legendary Object, A Suddenly Appearing Name

Sometimes, one has to admit that Dumbledore is always full of surprises.

However, this is something that should be distinguished by whom it concerns, as not everyone is named Harry.

In fact, when Ino first entered the office, he might not have thought too much about it. But when all the headmaster portraits maintained a unified rhythm, snoring softly...

It seemed that the answer was already clear.

According to his original intention, he might have waited...

Chapter 296: The Hidden Room in the Headmaster's Office

Time always passes quietly.

After Dumbledore announced the end of the banquet, all the young wizards from the four houses returned to their dormitories in an orderly manner, led by the prefects.

Of course, there was one important tradition that couldn't be skipped during this time—the singing of the school song in unison.

…

Outside the Great Hall.

While everyone was busy discussing the Triwizard Tournament, Ino turned and walked toward the stairs.

Chapter 295: Moody's Arrangement

Hogwarts Great Hall.

As Ino withdrew his gaze, Moody similarly shifted his eyes away.

The elderly wizard, leaning on his cane, hobbled toward the staff table.

To be fair, despite using a cane, Moody's pace was no slower than that of a normal person; in fact, there was a faint swiftness to his movements.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dumbledore extended his hand and lightly embraced Moody.

After a brief exchange, the headmaster once again turned his attenti...

Chapter 294: The Triwizard Tournament

The start of the feast marked the beginning of a new school year at Hogwarts.

Everything seemed to be back on track.

At the Gryffindor table:

As various delicious dishes appeared, Ron immediately began devouring them with gusto. After sitting on the train for most of the day, his stomach was starving.

Holding a large chicken drumstick in his left hand and a spoon in his right, he dug into a plate of mashed potatoes flavored with parsley and garlic.

The Hogwarts Express always delivers on its mission.

Once again, the old steam train safely brought all the young wizards to their destination.

As the Thestrals came to a stop, Ino also jumped off the carriage.

He walked along the path to the front of the castle.

But unlike usual, there were many young wizards gathered outside the castle at this moment. Many were loudly cursing something, and after swearing, they would cover their heads with both hands a...

Chapter 292: Trelawney's Prophecy, Dumbledore's Death

Time always seems to flow unnoticed.

September 1, 1994.

At King's Cross Station, the Hogwarts Express quietly rested on the tracks.

Countless first-year wizards, accompanied by their families, curiously observed everything around them, each displaying a hint of excitement.

Whether from Muggle families or wizard families, Hogwarts was a place of longing for young wizards.

This was especially true for wizard families—after all, they had heard about it all th...

Sometimes, it's not that everyone loves solitude.

Often, it's that in situations beyond our control, we train ourselves to get used to being alone.

Hogsmeade Cottage.

In the second-floor bedroom, Ino used Transfiguration to make a life-sized bed for the little doll and added some matching miniature furniture.

After completing all this, he opened another suitcase gifted by Nicolas.

Chapter 290: Farewell After Half a Month, Time Flows Like a Song

Dusk.

The setting sun, like an elderly artist, used its most brilliant strokes to sketch a breathtaking painting across the sky.

At this moment, Ino stood quietly by the window, silently admiring the scenery outside.

Today was the day he would say goodbye to Nicolas Flamel.

Time seemed to always flow unconsciously.

Before he knew it, Ino had already spent more than half a month in France. Similarly, less than a week remained until the start of the...

Chapter 289: Incomplete Top-Tier Alchemy Items

In a brief flash of memory, Nicolas Flamel recalled many things buried deep within his mind.

Moments passed.

"It truly surprises me that there are still two people in this world who can decipher the secrets of the Time-Turner to such a degree."

Although Nicolas' voice carried a tone of amazement, the hidden trace of joy within it was unmistakable.

However, Ino furrowed his brow slightly; he detected another meaning behind those words.

"To such a degree? You ...

Chapter 288: Wanting to be the Protagonist Again

In truth, many things can change when you alter your fixed way of thinking.

In an instant, Ino thought of many things.

At the same time, a slightly absurd but somewhat reasonable conjecture flashed in his mind.

If this conjecture is correct, maybe he can experience the treatment of a protagonist once again.

Although the fantasy world cannot be chosen, he possesses a tool that can accurately enter the world, which was also his means of livelihood in the past.

Chapter 287: Visiting Nicolas Flamel

The arrangement of articles in the Daily Prophet sparked widespread discussion across the British Isles.

Although many dismissed it with a laugh, there was a portion who took it seriously, mostly the less discerning wizards who believed in Rita's stories.

In contrast to the broad reach of the newspaper, an article in a magical academic journal truly stirred the waters, though it was confined to the academic community.

The article, written personally by Newt Scamander, was...

There's no universal concept of how big a camp for one hundred thousand people is.

But one thing is for sure: tonight's camp is truly lively.

In a little over half an hour, Ino felt like he was strolling through a theme park, with the theme being "Wizards."

During his stroll, he also fully understood the difficulties of the Weasley family.

Despite trying to restrain himself, he ended up spending nearly ten Galleons.

Chapter 284: Ino's Promise

The match was still ongoing.

In just under half an hour, the Irish team had scored 70 points, while the Bulgarian team hadn't scored a single point, remaining at zero.

To someone who doesn't understand Quidditch, this might seem like a one-sided massacre.

However, many seasoned fans saw the strategy behind it. The Bulgarian team had opted for a five-man defense strategy right from the start.

In simple terms, aside from the goalkeeper, the five players on the fieldâ...

The entrance of the two teams was undoubtedly perfect.

They seamlessly bridged the gap following the end of the performances, and elevated the atmosphere in the stadium to new heights.

"And now, gentlemen! Ladies, the Bulgarian team is entering the field. Here are Dimitrov, Ivanova, Zograf, Levski, Vulchanov, and Volkov."

As Ludo introduced them, the Bulgarian team's speed increased again, becoming almost too fast to see.

Time passed by the second.

As the afternoon wore on, a sense of excitement quietly spread throughout the camp.

By dusk, even the silent sunset seemed to tremble with anticipation.

In the midst of this extreme emotional buildup, Ino slowly opened his eyes, and before him floated a small flame, resembling the moment a match ignites.

Sensing the changes within the flame, he disappeared from the spot.

In the camp.

After chatting with a French girl with a heavy accent, Ino finally learned the latest developments about the Movie Mirrors.

Draco and Marcus, or rather Malfoy and Flint, along with many pure-blood families, had introduced a large number of finished Movie Mirrors to the market, discreetly distributing them through a semi-sale, semi-gift strategy.

Just like that French girl earlier. After buying some love potions from the Extraordinary Potions shop, she was inf...

At the Three Broomsticks, Ino was leisurely drinking grass juice by the bar.

Meanwhile, far away at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, it was a true cacophony of human voices.

As the gateway to Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron was a place where one could see a variety of scenes at this moment: different skin colors, different races, different clothing styles...

It seemed as if wizards from all over the world had flocked there.

And this was just a small part of it....

Ino looked at the scenery before him with satisfaction.

But soon, he noticed something unusual in the distance.

In a clearing beyond the magical plants, many peculiar and even bizarre plants had suddenly sprung up.

Without delay, Ino quickly walked to the other side of the valley.

As he got closer, he felt as though he was entering a real fairy-tale garden.

Of course, this time it wasn't a major incident, just a trace alert indicating that young wizards had used magic outside of school.

Normally, this would have warranted just a warning letter, but after determining the location of the incident and identifying the young wizard involved, the department decided to take it seriously and dispatched personnel on duty.
