Chapter 771: Escape
As one of the most powerful wizards in the British wizarding world, Albus Dumbledore naturally couldn't fail to see the changes in Ron's body, and subconsciously frowned.
But before he could think about whether to stop it and say something, the Goblet of Fire changed color again, squirting out a piece of burnt parchment from within.
Not only was this strange phenomenon a little incredulous to him, but the other two principals and the students who were making a lot of noise in the audience were also dumbfounded, as if they had seen something unacceptable.
You must know that the reason why the Triwizard Tournament is called the Triwizard Tournament is that each of the three schools sent a representative to participate in the name.
But now, after all three players were born, there was one more person.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone waited for the headmaster to read out the name on the piece of paper.
The old man, who felt the increasingly strange atmosphere, hurriedly cleared his throat: "Ahem! I have to admit that this incident is a bit unexpected, but according to the magic contract of the Goblet of Fire, the fourth participant in the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter, is still invited to the waiting room. ”
"No! I protest! How can there be two players at Hogwarts! It's a violation! It's unfair!"
As soon as the words fell, Igor Karkarov, the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was the first to jump up and shout loudly.
"That's right, you have to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we have the right to boycott the game. Olim Maxim chimed in.
Regardless, the Triwizard Tournament is a battle for the reputation and status of their respective schools, and the winner is entitled to claim to be the best magic school in all of Europe before the next competition, so both the headmaster and the students are working hard to bring back the glory of the final victory.
But the problem is, now that Hogwarts has won two places at once, the odds of winning have doubled, and Harry Potter, who is also a famous name in the wizarding world, how can it not cause a backlash.
"Sorry, two, I don't think this is the place to talk, so let's go back and figure out what's going on. Dumbledore glanced at the boy with a cold look in his gaze and offered to make a suggestion.
He hadn't spoken to Harry Potter in private since he had a falling out last semester, knowing that his personality was getting farther and farther away from his expectations.
"Okay! Let's go to the next room. ”
"Hopefully it's not a farce. ”
Amid the muttering whispers of the headmasters, the adult wizards quickly left their seats, leaving only Zhang Cheng sitting motionless, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
But just because he didn't care, didn't mean Harry didn't.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, the immortal boy quickly came to the front and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, I don't understand, why Ron was chosen, could it be that there is some conspiracy behind it?"
"Conspiracy? no, my dear student, from the time of the Quidditch World Cup final, a conspiracy has been revolving around you. Zhang Chengyi replied with a deep taste.
"Around me?" Harry was stunned for a few seconds, but quickly came to his senses. "What do you mean...... Voldemort?"
"That's right, think about it, is there anyone who has been particularly enthusiastic about you lately, so enthusiastic that it makes you feel a little unusual?" Zhang Cheng continued to give a hint quietly.
"Professor Moody?!is he Voldemort?" Harry's mouth opened in surprise.
Despite his many flaws in his personality, such as recklessness and stubbornness, this does not mean that he is a fool, on the contrary, he is quite intelligent.
It's just that it was always designed and arranged by Dumbledore before, resulting in these clever places that didn't play at all, and eventually turned into a disappointing idiot.
Looking at the shocked expression on the other party's face, Zhang Cheng hinted quietly: "Remember, sometimes what you see is not necessarily real, but a disguise. So be vigilant, this year is going to be a difficult start for you, and you can see it as a test of your life. ”
"Got it! Thank you for your advice. Harry bent down and bowed deeply before entering the next room through the door.
......
Meanwhile, Voldemort, who was hiding in the family's old mansion, was lying in a chair, listening to his men's updates on the progress of the project.
After more than ten minutes, he moved his body and asked in a voice as hoarse as a snake, "So, Barty Crouch Jr. is sure he can get Harry Potter out from under Dumbledore's nose?"
"Yes, master!" he swears, he will bring you back to life in the most perfect posture. The man wrapped in his robe replied without thinking.
Hearing this, the Dark Lord nodded in satisfaction, "Very good! It seems that he is more loyal than many of the Death Eaters I originally favored, and when the day comes, I will bestow upon him the supreme glory." But now I have a question, what is that mysterious Oriental doing right now?"
According to the news from Barty Crouch Jr., the other party seems to have made no noteworthy moves in recent times. Oh, by the way, he had a head-on confrontation with Dumbledore in front of everyone the other day, which might be good news for us. ”
"Oh, conflict! Hahahaha! Dumbledore, an old fool, probably still doesn't know what kind of people he's dealing with. But it doesn't matter, I'm sure it won't be long before our dear allies will deliver a big surprise. Well, go down and tell Barty Crouch Jr. to be careful, and don't provoke that Oriental. ”
With that, Voldemort waved his baby-like arm and motioned for the servant to stand down.
The latter saluted respectfully, and quickly turned and pushed the door open.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, the Dark Lord couldn't help but sneer and said to himself, "My dear Dumbledore teacher, you have met a real opponent this time. Look closely, he will tear off your hypocritical mask one by one, and let your hidden desire for power and power be completely exposed, and suffer the despise and revil of the world like me. At that time, you will realize that you are no different from me, except that I am more courageous to choose to embrace fate, and you have escaped it......"
The words just fell!
Suddenly a lightning bolt struck in the gloomy sky outside!
Next Second......
A deafening thunderclap came as expected, followed by a rain the size of soybeans crackling against the window, as if weeping for someone's future.
Voldemort just stared at the gloomy sky without saying a word, and the whole person seemed to fall into a state of contemplation.
No one knows what he's thinking, and no one dares to speculate about what he's going to do next......
