Chapter 177 - Chapter 174

 The Goblet of Fire Activation

The Great Hall buzzed with excitement.

Students aged 17 and above proudly stepped forward, writing their names and placing them into the glowing Goblet of Fire.

Roy stood near the entrance, watching calmly.

Then—

FWOOOM!

Fred and George tried to breach Dumbledore's age line.

Instant karma.

The magic blasted them back and aged them into old men with long white beards.

The entire hall erupted into laughter.

Even Dumbledore tried not to smile.

Roy chuckled.

Next Morning — Rumors, Questions, and… Trouble

Roy entered the Great Hall for breakfast.

Instantly—

Students surrounded him

"Roy, why aren't you entering!?"

"You're the strongest!"

"We want Hogwarts to win!"

"Are you scared of Fleur?"

Roy sighed and calmly replied:

Roy:

"I'm not seventeen yet.And I'm not a participant… I'm a committee member."

Gasps spread across the hall.

Committee member?!The youngest one in centuries?!

Students buzzed in amazement, whispering at tables.

Then… Ron Weasley happened.

From across the hall, Ron's cold, irritable voice cut through the commotion.

Ron (shouting):

"Committee member? Hah!Just because of your family name!"

Everyone froze.

Ron stood up, pointing at Roy.

Ron:

"You think you're better than us?!I'll show this school that I—RON WEASLEY—am more capable than you!"

The hall gasped.

Hermione slammed her fork.Ginny looked horrified.Fred and George were already holding their heads.

Hermione:

"Ron! Stop—!"

Fred:

"Mate… shut up—!"

Too late.

Something changed in the air.

The hall temperature dropped.

A lethal aura spread like a silent beast.

Before Ron even blinked—

SHHHH—KSHING!

Several Shadow Guards manifested around him.

Invisible to most—but visible now because they had materialized their blades.

Cold steel pressed against Ron's neck.

Trembling.Panic.Silence.

Everyone froze in horror.

Professors stood up.Karkaroff choked on his drink.Fleur's jaw dropped.Madam Maxime covered Gabrielle's eyes.

Even the portraits went silent.

Only one person didn't move:

Dumbledore.

He simply watched, calm… because he was the only one who sensed these guards before.

From the teachers' table, Darius Valvas slowly nodded once.

A command.

The Shadow Guards obeyed instantly.

They vanished like smoke.

Leaving Ron pale as a ghost.

Roy Acts

Roy lifted his hand.

The Goblet of Fire floated to him, controlled by his magic.

He brought it right in front of Ron.

Roy (coldly):

"You want to prove yourself?Fine.Enter."

Gasps echoed.

Even the Goblet flickered nervously.

Roy:

"But know this—Once your name goes inside,your life, death, fame, and fortune are yours alone."

Ron's eyes widened.

Fred, George, and Ginny rushed forward.

Ginny (desperate):

"Ron, don't! Please—!"

Fred:

"Mate, don't be stupid—"

George:

"You're NOT ready—"

But Ron, corrupted by the diary's leftover dark influence, glared at them.

Ron:

"You're jealous!WATCH ME!"

He threw his name inside.

FWOOOM.

The flames accepted it.

And Ron smirked.

Until…

Roy Unleashes Conqueror's Haki

A shockwave of royal pressure exploded outward.

Tables shook.Windows trembled.Students grabbed their heads.Teachers gasped.Even Dumbledore stiffened.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students felt like they were drowning.

Darius and Clara Valvas looked proudly impressed.

Roy walked toward Ron slowly.

Every step felt like thunder.

Roy (voice echoing):

"NEVER.EVER.Tarnish the Valvas name again."

Ron trembled violently.

Roy:

"If you were not friends with Fred, George, Ginny, Molly, and Arthur…I would have broken your bonesand sent you to the hospital wing myself."

Ron believed him.

Everyone did.

Because the haki didn't just show power—it showed intent.

Roy finally withdrew the pressure.

Students gasped for air.

Professors sank into their seats.

Even Dumbledore dabbed sweat from his forehead.

Aftermath

Roy turned toward the Weasley siblings.

Roy:

"I apologize for the scare."

Fred and George blinked… and then grinned nervously.

Fred:

"We deserved it."

George:

"And Ron did too."

Ginny:

"Roy… thank you for not actually killing him."

Roy nodded and walked out.

Everyone stared at the door he exited through…

Realizing something chilling:

Roy Valvas wasn't just powerful.He was terrifying when angered.

And Hogwarts understood something important—

The Valvas Family was NOT to be provoked.
