Chapter 686: Fleur’s Most Important Person
As things stood, Krum wouldn’t help Evan. He didn’t even want to talk to him.
As for Cedric, he would help, but only if the truth was told, otherwise it would be difficult to convince him.
The only thing Evan couldn’t do right now was to tell the truth.
He had a strange feeling at the thought of helping Voldemort return, although they had good reasons.
Not surprisingly, that would be the beginning of the Wizarding War and many people might die…
Voldemort was not a wizard who would be defeated casually, and even Dumbledore was not quite sure he could pull it off.
The process of Harry’s defeat of Voldemort in the original book was not very referential and meaningful at all.
In fact, after Dumbledore’s death, Voldemort had won, and no one except him could kill himself.
If he didn’t care about Harry or just was content with imprisoning him, he could transform the wizarding world as he wanted.
With all his heart, he was determined to make a difference with Harry either by victory or defeat. He wanted to kill Harry to prove that he was the best wizard. But that did not really make sense. He had long been recognized as the strongest wizard in the wizarding world!
The many divisions of his soul made him emotionally unstable and unable to calm down and think.
His power was gradually increasing, but the eviler his existence itself became, the less dangerous it was.
Voldemort did not even take time to think, so he hurried to fight Harry with a wand that was not his own.
The end was clear, failure was an inevitable outcome.
All of that could be attributed to Dumbledore’s ingenious layout, but it was undeniable that luck was also important.
After changing so many things, Evan couldn’t pin everything on illusory luck.
Although Dumbledore would change his plan to adapt, Evan wanted to do everything he could to make things more secure.
After leaving Dumbledore’s office, he walked over to Beauxbatons carriage.
Evan was ready to go. Although Fleur had a good relationship with him, that girl was notoriously difficult to deal with.
The last time she was alone, Evan had told her the content of the first task. In return, Fleur kissed Evan directly on the forehead.
Evan came to Beauxbatons carriage and the door was open, with students coming in and out from time to time.
Through this period of contact, many of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students had made friends in Hogwarts, and they would also visit the carriage or Durmstrang ship when they were free.
Because of frequent visits, Beauxbatons students were familiar with Evan.
Considering what had happened at the end of the last term, Evan was now a celebrity in Beauxbatons, and almost everyone knew him.
Although their attitude was not very friendly, the hostility was not as strong as at first.
It was not like a few months ago, when Evan was near the carriage, a bunch of people popped out to fight him. Of course, if they didn’t do it now, it might be because they knew they couldn’t beat him.
Evan didn’t go in, but asked a girl from Beauxbatons to call Fleur out.
Previous contacts let him know that it was best not to stay in a closed space with Fleur alone…
About five minutes later, Fleur walked out sleepily, as if she had just woken up.
She wore a loose set of casual clothes, with waterfall-like silver long strewn over her shoulders, unorganized.
Still, she looked stunningly beautiful.
“Good morning!” said Evan cheerfully.
“Oh, good morning, what are you looking for me for?!” Fleur looked at Evan. “If you want to find my sister, she went to the castle early in the morning. She said she wanted to help your champion to learn Stupefy. He is unconscious. Doesn’t he even master the Stunning Spell?”
In preparation for the next task, Harry and Hermione had recently helped Ron to practice various combat spells, such as Stupefy, Expelliarmus, Protego, etc. Evan, Colin, Ginny and Gabrielle sometimes helped.
Ron had never used such spells before, so those who practiced with him had to make some sacrifices.
At Evan’s insistence, Harry would also practice. Although the magic of both Harry and Ron was not strong, it was not a good thing to be knocked down by the Stunning Spell many times in a short time. There were more people to practice with them, and they could share the damage.
“I’m not looking for Gabrielle,” said Evan, pulling Fleur to an empty corner. “I have something to tell you.”
Seeing Evan’s appearance, Fleur was slightly surprised, then immediately seemed to think of something, and she looked at him, grinning.
“Is it about the task?” said Fleur with interest. “Did you get any information again?”
“It’s really about the task!” Evan nodded and asked, “You should already know the secret of the Golden Egg?”
“It’s very simple, just put it in the water and you can know the clues!” said Fleur proudly, “It’s the mermaid’s song; it seems that we are asked to find something in the lake. It is said that it is the Champions’ most beloved treasure. …”
“Not objects, but people, the most important people of the champions, this is the second task’s content,” said Evan. “Professors will bring your most important people to the Merpeople village under the lake, asking you to rescue them within an hour.”
“What?!” Fleur looked at him in surprise. “That’s too dangerous. How can they breathe underwater?!”
Her most important person was undoubtedly Gabrielle. Thinking of Gabrielle going into the depths of the cold dark lake…
Fleur’s face was very pale, and she couldn’t help but think of the mermaid’s song:
We’ve taken what you’ll sorely miss,
An hour long you’ll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour — the prospect’s black,
Too late, it’s gone, it won’t come back.
She had gone to see the lake. It was deeper than she had expected, and the terrain was also very complex.
An hour was too short; she was not sure. If she couldn’t find Gabrielle, then…
“Listen,” said Evan directly, “I hope you can choose me as your most important person then.”
“You want to be my most important person?!” Fleur woke up with a start, looking up and down at Evan.
