Chapter 311: The Quiet Night

The game went exactly as Harry remembered. Ireland won against Bulgaria, but Viktor Krum was the one who ended it by catching the Snitch, after realizing they couldn't close the point gap.

It was late at night by the time it was all done, and most attendees retired to their camps.

Harry and Dumbledore were invited to rest in the Weasley tent since they still had room for a few more people. They accepted the offer, even though neither of them was planning on sleeping.

Harry activated his invisibility and walked outside after everyone fell asleep.V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).co/m for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

He immediately found Dumbledore waiting for him.

"That seems very handy. I didn't feel your approach at all," the old Headmaster commented when he noticed Harry appear at his side.

"It's supposed to be as untraceable as the cloak used to be. And no need for enchantments," Harry said.

"Well, it's not that surprising, considering its origin," Dumbledore added.

Harry smiled.

"During my first year, I tried to sneak around using the cloak, and you found me very easily... I still don't know how you did it."

"Did I?..." Dumbledore smiled with amusement. He knew that Harry wasn't talking about this lifetime but his previous one.

"I can't really answer that, but... I'm sure the 'other me' had a few tricks up his sleeve."

The Headmaster scanned the area with care.

There were hundreds of tents covering the surface of the clearing. The light of the full moon and a few torches was enough to see quite far into the distance.

"You think something is going to happen tonight?"

Neither he nor Harry had slept for a single minute, so it was normal they looked tired. Harry was less noticeable because he had tremendous stamina. A few days without sleep wouldn't be too detrimental to him, especially if he used magic to diminish the effects.

"I'm afraid I had too much on my mind to sleep soundly. But regardless, I thank you for the invitation into your family tent, Miss Weasley." Dumbledore pulled out his wand and looked at Harry again.

"We can talk again in a few days."

"Of course." Harry nodded, giving the Headmaster a wave before he disappeared.

Ginny and Harry stood there for a moment.

"I didn't know you were that close to the Headmaster."

"Yes, we became acquainted a couple of years ago."

"A couple of years ago..." This brought her some memories.

"He was very curious about the magic I used to destroy the castle grounds," Harry said with a grin.

Ginny gasped.

"You mean..." This was the year when he fought that giant basilisk.

"I hope you didn't get into trouble for that..." She never really thought about it. She had been too traumatized by the monster itself.

But the aftermath of that night had been quite severe. A large part of the castle was broken by the basilisk as it made its way out, and then Harry had used that fire magic that left a massive burned hole on the ground.

"Not at all. The Headmaster understood the situation."

"To be honest, you should have gotten a reward for that... like an Order of Merlin or something. I mean... they gave one to Professor Lockhart..." Ginny made an angry expression.

Harry chuckled.

"Yes, he loved to remind us of that...maybe I should behave more like Lockhart?"

Ginny's expression changed.

"Please no!"
