Voldemort suddenly raised his voice: "This disappoints me... I admit I'm disappointed..."

One of the men in the circle suddenly collapsed to the ground, crawling at Voldemort's feet, trembling from head to toe.

"Master!" the man screamed, "Master, forgive me! Forgive us!"

Voldemort sneered and raised his wand: "Crunch in the Heart!"

The Death Eater lying on the ground writhed and screamed in agony.

After a long while, Voldemort raised his wand, and the Death Eater who had been tortured lay flat on the ground, panting heavily.

“Get up, Avery,” Voldemort said softly. “Stand up. You beg me for forgiveness? I will not forgive. I will not forget the long thirteen years… I will make you pay the debt of thirteen years before I forgive you.”

“Yes, Master, I am willing to do anything for you, to give you everything I have!” Avery said, his voice trembling as he kissed Voldemort’s robes.

Standing on the tree, Su Yu found it somewhat amusing. Through the brain-devouring worm, Su Yu could clearly sense that Avery wasn't actually that scared. This guy's acting skills were truly superb.

Voldemort then called out the names of the other Death Eaters one by one: Lucius Malfoy, McNeil, Crabbe, and Goyle, and subjected them to the Cruciatus Curse.

Su Yu secretly recorded all of this, to be used as evidence against Voldemort later. After Voldemort dealt with his henchmen, he turned his attention back to Harry.

Voldemort slowly walked forward, turned to face Harry, and raised his wand: "Crunch in the Heart!"

Harry had never experienced such agonizing torment. He felt as if every bone in his body was burning, his head must have split open along the scar, his eyeballs were spinning wildly inside his skull, and he wanted it to stop... he wanted to pass out... even die...

The torture suddenly ended, and Harry collapsed to the ground, looking up through a layer of mist at the glowing red eyes, while the laughter of the Death Eaters echoed in the night sky.

Voldemort continued, "I think you've seen how foolish it is to think this boy is better than me, but I'm going to completely dispel that misconception in your minds."

“Harry Potter escaped from me by sheer luck. Now I’m going to kill him to prove my power. Right here and now, in front of you, I’ll give him a chance to fight me, so you won’t doubt who is stronger.”

Hearing Voldemort's words, Su Yu had countless complaints. He actually wanted to duel Harry just to prove that he was stronger than Harry.

As a normal wizard, one can roughly judge a wizard's strength simply by observing the magical fluctuations emanating from each person.

At this moment, the magical energy emanating from Harry was nothing compared to Voldemort's, like a firefly compared to the moon; there was no need for comparison.

Su Yu felt that Voldemort could easily scare Harry into fainting with just his magical power.

"Little Pettigrew, give him back his wand!" Voldemort commanded.

Then he struck what he considered an elegant dueling pose, gave Harry a wizard's salute, and said, "Come on, kid, let me see what you're capable of without Dumbledore and the protection of your foolish mother!"

Hearing Voldemort call his mother stupid, Harry couldn't take it anymore. He picked up his wand, struggled to his feet, and waved it: "Explosion!"

A red spell streaked across the night sky—the Explosion Charm, probably the most vicious spell Harry could use right now. But Voldemort simply waved his hand, deflecting the spell and sending it crashing into a nearby rock.

"Is this all you've got? Haha... Hahaha..." Voldemort let out a laugh that was both chilling and idiotic.

Su Yu couldn't stand it any longer. He reverted to his true form, a set of magical armor donned over his body, and said:

"Voldemort, you are truly awe-inspiring, actually engaging in a one-on-one duel with a mere child. Why don't you dare to cause trouble for Dumbledore, or for the Ministry of Magic? Is the infamous Dark Lord only capable of bullying children?"

Voldemort was startled by the strong magical fluctuations behind him. He immediately turned around and assumed a defensive stance.

Upon seeing Su Yu's armor, he immediately recognized him and roared, "It's you, Su Yu! How dare you show your face here, Avada Kedavra!"

A dark green spell shot towards Su Yu. Su Yu stretched out his arm and launched a brass-colored raven. The spell hit the raven, corroding a large area of ​​its surface, but its path was already deflected.

Su Yu's pupils contracted. Voldemort was indeed powerful after his resurrection. His Killing Curse could even leave a piece of corrosion on a brass raven made of a material similar to a bouncy pot. Just how strong was the killing intent in this guy's curse!

Su Yu had no intention of getting entangled with Voldemort. He quickly flew to Harry's side, grabbed his shoulder, and then cast a Summoning Charm, summoning the Goblet of Fire that had fallen in the distance. The next moment, Su Yu and Harry disappeared together in the graveyard.

"No!" Voldemort was furious and cast a spell at the spot where Su Yu and Harry were standing, but the spell had already missed its target and could only blast a deep crater in the ground.

"Harry Potter! Su Yu! And Dumbledore! I will come after you one by one, and in the most cruel way, I will show you how terrible I am!" Voldemort let out a final, unwilling roar.

Chapter 260 Shocking the Magic World

The Goblet of Fire was originally meant to teleport the victor back to the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle. After Barty Jr. turned it into a Portkey, it was used to take Su Yu and Harry to the Gaunt ancestral graveyard first.

At this moment, Su Yu took it back into his hand, and its function was activated again, taking Su Yu and Harry back to Hogwarts.

The atmosphere in the Hogwarts Castle hall was very somber at this time, and the students had already been arranged to return to their respective dormitories to rest.

Only the school principals and professors, Kingsley's Auror squad, and Barty Crouch Jr., who was trapped inside, remained in the hall.

Upon seeing Su Yu, Karkarov was the first to approach him, angrily saying, "Professor Su Yu, why you? You replaced Cedric in the final project."

"Haha, Hogwarts, you Hogwarts are truly despicable! With one more warrior, you leaked the questions in advance, and now you're even letting a professor participate in the competition in place of a student! I'm going to appeal to the International Magical Association!"

Su Yu simply stared coldly at Karkaroff, and finally said, "Voldemort is back!"

Karkaroff's arrogant expression froze instantly. He glared at Su Yu and asked, "What did you say?"

"Voldemort is back! He's resurrected!" Su Yu confirmed again.

At this moment, Little Barty, who had been tied up and silent, burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... I knew it, I knew Master would succeed, and when Master comes back, you will all die!"

"Kakarov, you traitor! You betrayed me and lived a life of shame. Now that your master has returned, your death is imminent!"

"No, impossible, how could this be!" Karkarov's face changed from arrogance to fear. He took two steps back and almost fell.

Then he muttered to himself, "No, he'll kill me, he definitely will. I can't stay here, I have to leave, I have to leave now..."

As he spoke, Karkaroff ran off toward the outside of Hogwarts Castle, ignoring Dumbledore's calls and never turning back.

“Headmaster Dumbledore, now that the tournament is over, I think I should take our students and professors back to America.” It was Headmaster Gana who spoke.

The old lady wasn't afraid of Voldemort, but she wasn't alone. She had many underage children under her control, and Charles suffered immense psychological trauma this time, so they all needed to return to the United States for treatment as soon as possible.

Su Yu also came to Stewart's side and asked, "Was Charles rescued?"

Stuart chuckled nonchalantly, "He's out. Little Barty didn't hurt him much while making Polyjuice Potion."

"But this kid got defeated head-on and spent most of the school year locked in a dark, sunless box, so he's a bit withdrawn now, haha!"

Seeing Stuart's gloating expression, Su Yu didn't know what to say, so he just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and give my regards to your father."

Stuart said, "Why don't you come back with us? I've heard of Voldemort. He's probably just a British terrorist. Let those British wizards deal with him."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Profits and risks are often directly proportional."

Stuart didn't try to persuade him anymore and left with Gana, but strangely, Chen Ying didn't leave with them and remained with Kingsley's team.

Lady Maxime then stated that Beauxbatons' students and teachers would also be leaving England, and told Dumbledore that he could ask her for help at any time if needed.

Once only the Hogwarts professors and a few Aurors remained, Dumbledore turned his attention back to Su Yu and asked, "Su, tell me exactly what happened, and why did you replace Cedric?"

Su Yu said, "It's obvious that someone wants to do something to Harry. I was worried that the match would be affected, so I called Cedric to my office."

"That kid should still be sleeping on my sofa. After I went in... eventually Harry and I caught the Goblet of Fire, and then we were teleported to the graveyard at Gaunt's old house."

"Where do you mean?" Dumbledore asked.

“Gaunt House, the place where Voldemort’s father is buried!” Su Yu said.

"I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner!" Dumbledore seemed somewhat annoyed: "To resurrect Voldemort, we need the blood of our enemies, the flesh of our servants, and the bones of our loved ones. I should have thought of that sooner."

Su Yu continued, "I was held up, Pettigrew kidnapped Harry, and then they succeeded."

Dumbledore then looked at Harry and said, "Harry, do you have anything to add?"

Harry shook his head, then said, "I saw Voldemort. He summoned his Death Eaters, including Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy!"

Dumbledore nodded: "Alright, Harry, you should go back to your dormitory and rest. In any case, you won the Goblet of Fire."

“Headmaster Dumbledore, we’ll take Barty Crouch Jr. back to the Ministry of Magic first,” Kingsley said, stepping forward.

Kingsley was shocked to hear the news of Voldemort's resurrection; he had to get the news back to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible.

“Aren’t we going to kill him, Principal?” Su Yu stepped forward and asked Barty Crouch Jr.

“That’s right, this guy is extremely guilty and should be executed on the spot to prevent him from escaping again.” Sirius Black also agreed with Su Yu’s suggestion.

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "We are just a school. Whatever he did wrong, the Ministry of Magic should make the final judgment."

“Headmaster, if I may be so bold, you will regret doing this!” Su Yu said, staring into Dumbledore’s eyes.

"Hahaha... Hahaha... That's right, kill me, otherwise my master will come to save me. As long as I regain my freedom, I will kill all of you, hahaha..." Little Barty was extremely excited and said with a wild laugh.

Dumbledore looked at Su Yu and said, "Suppress your desires, control your power. Su, the greater the power you possess, the more you should understand this!"

Kingsley's team eventually left with Barty. Su Yu didn't say anything more. He returned to his office and checked that both main quests were completed, earning him two more free skill points.

With the three skill points from the Goblet of Fire, Su Yu could allocate more points. This time, he chose Polymorph, bringing Su Yu's three core skills—Magic, Polymorph, and Alchemy—to LV11.

The next morning, Principal Gana led the teachers and students of Iphamoni onto their spaceship. Just like the night before, Chen Ying did not go with them.

"Hey, Yingzi, why aren't you getting on the boat?" Su Yu asked, leaning closer.

"Mind your own business!" Chen Ying's tone remained icy; their relationship had remained extremely tense these past few days.

Chapter 261 Shocking the Magic World

Su Yu was taken aback, but not angry, and continued, "Alright, hurry up and upload it. You've been busy here for so long, go back and rest for a while. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

"You're in such a hurry to get rid of me because you want some alone time with your girlfriend, right? Let me tell you, I'm not leaving. I'm staying at Hogwarts." Chen Ying glared at Su Yu.

“Uh…” Su Yu paused for a moment, his expression turning serious: “Chen Ying, hurry back. Voldemort is back. Britain is very dangerous right now. This is no joke.”

Chen Ying turned her head, met Su Yu's gaze, and said firmly, "I am an Auror, and I have to face danger wherever I am. Compared to that, I am more willing to face the common danger with you."

A simple decision, yet more powerful than any sweet words, completely reignited the passion between them that had been dormant for months. They left together without even watching the farewell ceremony.

The students of Beauxbatons, led by Mrs. Maxim, boarded the Pegasus carriage again. They had come full of confidence, but now that Fleur had come in last place in the competition, they were somewhat disappointed.

Before getting into the car, Mrs. Maxim gave Hagrid a long, passionate kiss in front of everyone. Watching her lift Hagrid into the air, the crowd didn't know whether to find it funny or touching.

The worst off were probably the Durmstrang students, whose principal simply ran away, and there were no other professors in the group.

At the critical moment, Krum stepped forward, took control of the sailboat, and sank to the bottom of the Black Lake with his classmates, returning to Bulgaria.

Just as the farewell ceremony was taking place at Hogwarts, the entire British wizarding world was shocked because Kingsley's squad had recaptured Barty Crouch Jr.

When they returned to the Ministry of Magic, they were mobbed by reporters in the hall. When they had no choice but to give an interview, Barty Crouch Jr. shouted loudly, "He's back, great master! Lord Voldemort has returned! Feel the fear!"

Within just one morning, the news was featured on the front page of all major newspapers online, and the news of Voldemort's return instantly caused a sensation.

They would recall that dark period more than a decade ago, when many half-blood wizards who survived the disaster trembled and planned to pack their bags and leave Britain.

Many wizards protested, believing that Voldemort's return was due to the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic. They called for Fudge to step down and for Dumbledore to return to his rightful place.

This statement immediately touched a nerve with Fauci, who held a press conference at 3 p.m. that afternoon, emphasizing:
