Chapter 318 You are already a mature vice principal

After hearing the details of the four Horcruxes, Dumbledore relaxed a little.

The clues are still very obvious. The Horcruxes chosen by Voldemort can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is famous items in history, such as Slytherin's locket and Ravenclaw's diadem.

These things are all good, but using them to make Horcruxes is a sheer waste of these priceless treasures.

Another type of Horcrux is something that has meaning to Voldemort himself, such as Marvolo Gaunt's ring and the notebook he used in his youth.

From these two perspectives, the range of remaining Horcruxes can be reduced a lot.

I can’t guarantee anything else, but Voldemort will definitely target the relics of the four founders.

The sword of Gryffindor is now safely kept in the headmaster's office, so Voldemort should have a Horcrux made from Hufflepuff's relics.

Dumbledore stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

What was the last Hufflepuff relic that appeared?

He thought about it again and again, but for a moment he had no clue in his mind. After all, he was not usually interested in these antiques and had never paid attention to the news about them.

But it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t be difficult to investigate now that we have the clues. The key now is to determine the number of Horcruxes first.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Sebastian with eyes full of relief.

Unexpectedly, without his knowledge, Sebastian had been quietly dealing with Voldemort's problem.

I was right about him. With this young man around, I feel much more relaxed.

However, we also need to work harder and not put all the burden on the young people.

Leave the matters related to Horcruxes to myself, and as for Sebastian, let him take more responsibility for school affairs.

"Sebastian," Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and smiled gently, "I already know about Voldemort. You don't have to worry too much. Leave the rest to me."

Worry?

Not worried at all, I know the rest very well.

There are three Horcruxes left, namely the golden cup, Harry and the giant snake Nagini.

However, these things cannot be said explicitly, otherwise I cannot explain where I got the information from.

Forget it, I'd better find something for Lao Deng to do.

This saves him from spending every day in the principal's office playing with birds or drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Sebastian nodded calmly, indicating that he would follow Dumbledore's arrangements in everything.

"Sebastian, I have something for you. Go to Romania for me."

"Romania?" Sebastian took a sip of his wheat juice. "Why do you want me to go there? Is it for the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded gently, "This is the first Triwizard Tournament in centuries."

"What's more, the scale of this year's competition is much larger than in the past. A total of five magic schools will participate."

"As the organizer of the competition, Hogwarts must make sure this competition is a success."

Sebastian knew this, too.

After four years of European wizarding school Quidditch competitions, professors from the three colleges and universities have come to realize the benefits of healthy competition.

As a result, professors at Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang began to re-examine the value of such events.

So, they came up with the idea of ​​restarting the Triwizard Tournament, which had been dormant for hundreds of years.

Some senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, led by Fudge, also believed that the time was ripe for another attempt.

Thanks to the efforts of the UK Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Games and Sports, the three colleges agreed to restart this ancient competition.

Originally, the participating members were only the three magic schools of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

However, the outstanding performance of Hogwarts players in this year's Magic Schools Potions Championship made other magic schools re-recognize the absolute strength of Hogwarts.

So after hearing about the restart of the Triwizard Tournament, Ilvermorny in the United States took the initiative to contact Hogwarts and apply to participate.

Based on the principle of friendly communication, Hogwarts readily agreed to the other party's request and changed the Triwizard Tournament into a Quadruple Tournament.

When Fudge learned of this, he thought it was a great opportunity to expand the international influence of the British wizarding world.

So, in the name of the British Minister of Magic, he personally sent invitations to all magic schools.

What's more, there was actually a magic school interested in it. Ugadu from Moon Mountain in Africa accepted the invitation and turned the competition into a top five competition.

Fudge was ecstatic, and put the pressure directly on Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, asking them to work with Hogwarts to make the event a success.

In a word, it needs to be innovative, interesting, and reflect the grandeur and heritage of the British magical community.

As far as Sebastian knew, the first project that Dumbledore, Crouch Sr. and Bagman discussed was related to dragons.

When Hogwarts was on holiday, Dumbledore sent Uncle Newt to a dragon farm in Romania to select dragons for the competition.

"Sebastian," Dumbledore smiled, "It was my duty to go to Romania to check on the progress of the work. After all, the professors at Hogwarts should avoid suspicion. The fewer people who know about the competition, the better."

"However, the news about the Horcruxes has disrupted my plans. I need to focus more on finding clues to the Horcruxes."

"So, I can only trouble you to go to Romania."

"After all, you own a lot of shares in the dragon farm and are considered one of the bosses there. It's really the most appropriate job to give it to you."

"You can discuss the remaining competition items with Barty and the others. After all, you are also the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts. There is nothing to criticize in terms of your status and strength."

"As for Batistuta and Ludo, I will greet them and I believe they will not have any objections."

Good guy!

Really good guy!

Old Deng really knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions.

Sebastian was stunned.

Hey......

I shouldn't have mentioned the Horcrux to Old Dumbledore!

I originally wanted to find something for Lao Deng to do to keep him busy.

But he didn't expect that Lao Deng, this cunning guy, would assign his job to himself.

What is this wave called?

Harming others will eventually harm yourself, and the clown is myself!

After going around in circles, I find that I am the one who has to do more work.

Sebastian opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but when he saw Dumbledore's smiling eyes, he gave in.

Forget it, Romania has nice scenery.

I took Mia with me and treated it as a business trip and a vacation.

It just so happens that Harry, this burden, is still at his aunt's house, so it won't affect their life as a couple.

Thinking of this, Sebastian nodded: "I will go to Romania to keep an eye on it tomorrow."

"However, Headmaster, as I just said, there are some school reforms that I need to discuss with you and Professor McGonagall."

"You see when we..."

Before Sebastian could finish his words, Dumbledore waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Sebastian, you are already a mature vice-principal. You don't have to consult us on everything."

"If you have any ideas for reform, just go for it boldly. Minerva and I will support you."
