章節 277: Chapter 277 : What's Going On ?
After getting his hand on the golden egg and taking care of the dragon, which was barely half the size of the dragon he fought before, he walked to the centre of the ground with the golden egg in his hand, showing it off like the victory trophy, which to some degree it was.
He just wanted to be done with this pointless tournament but he also had to get points from the judges so there was that.
There were three judges, namely the principals of the three schools participating in the tournament, Dumbledore of course gave him full 10 marks while others gave him 9 and 7.
Nine even make sense, technically no one wants for the opponents to win so being a little biased is fine but 7!
Orion glares at the man who was the principal of Durmstrang school and the former death eater. He just wanted to fly up to the stage and slap him but he just sighed. Ultimately he just didn't care too much about this tournament and his own performance.
With a good score under his belt, he turned back ignoring most of the cheering he was getting from the audience, especially from the Hogwarts side, strange how these were the same people who were booing at him earlier.
As he was going back he glanced back at the poor dragon he tried up with eh chain and again took out his chain, with a simple swing of the wand he was able to make the chain and the boulder inside the dragon's mouth disappear.
Finally free, the dragon couldn't help but fly away with fear when he saw Orion again, thought they were a beast but dragons are very intelligent creatures, they can tell if someone is dangerous.
Orion who was heading back to the tent was about to to find both Rose and Daphne and get something to eat.
But by the time he went back, he saw Hermione standing in front of the tent door, seeing this he pursed his lips, he honestly didn't want to talk with Hermione.
What happened back then was not something he wanted to recall anymore. But seeing the girl already spotted him, he sighed and went ahead.
'Let's just do this as quickly as possible.'
"So what you wanted to say. Make it quick, I have other work." Orion replied with a cold expression.
"Hmm, I promise to be fast, but let's not talk here. How about we go somewhere else." Hermione added, Orion hearing this just wanted to deny but then suddenly he noticed something and almost stopped before he said anything.
His eyes narrow, not sure what's going on but then he just decided to go with it.
"Fine, lead the way. But be quick." Orion finally said.
Hermione hearing this shone a little smile before taking him outside. Orion just followed her, he wasn't showing much interest until they went outside in the sunlight.
Making sure that he is not being obvious, pretended to look back at the place where the next round was about to start and Morgan was about to fight with a dragon, he sneakily looked at Hermione's shadow.
There was no change in his face or magic but internally he grimaced. He can't see her shadow either. The shadow he was seeing right now was nothing but an imitation done by magic.
'What is going on around me, how come its seems like trouble is brewing.' Orion can't help but wonder.

Hermione took Orion to a library. It had been two years since their dispute, and Orion had no idea what she wanted to talk to him about, but more than anything that shadow thing was bothering him more than anything.
"Orion," she began softly, making Orion almost stand on attention. Because right now he doesn't know what's going on, he has to give attention. Maybe he can pick something from the information he gets in this conversation.
She took a deep breath and sat down across from him. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened two years ago. About our argument and why I... why I wanted to save Nick."
Orion's eyes flickered with interest, but he didn't say anything, simply nodding for her to continue.
Honestly, he was interested in this one question, what in the world that Nick Bastard do to her to completely make her his follower?
"I was wrong," Hermione admitted, her voice trembling slightly. "I thought Nick could be saved, that there was some good in him. But I was blind to what he was really doing. I found out recently that he has been using dark magic all this time, manipulating people, and plotting to bring back Voldemort."
Orion's face remained impassive, just listening to her words but believing nothing, becuase the Hermione he knew would never be fooled for this long, she would have detected the sigh of dark magic on Nick way to early. This was Hermione we were talking about.
She doesn't sound like the Hermione he remembers anymore.
"I thought I was helping a friend," she continued, "but I see now that I was just a pawn in his plans. He used my trust, my loyalty... and I feel so foolish for not seeing it sooner."
Hermione's voice broke, and she took a moment to steady herself. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry, Orion. Sorry for not believing you, sorry for all the trouble I've caused. You were right all along."
Orion nodded slowly, absorbing her words. He didn't respond immediately, and the silence between them felt heavy.
Now he was really confused, not sure what to believe, besides the fact that even if she was telling the truth he ain't forgiving her but what if this was a lie, if so then what she is really after?
After a few moments, he finally spoke, his voice calm and measured. "Okay, I heard what you wanted to say. Now I am out of here."
She searched his face for any sign of lingering resentment but found only a serene face like he had no emotion towards her whatsoever. "I wish things had been different," she said quietly.
Hermione nodded, seeing that Orion wasn't saying anything and just left like that she just sighed.
Orion looked at her, a hint of suspiciousness coming to him. And then he just walk off.
"No, not her either."...
Orion while going out almost felt that he heard this words but just kept on walking...
