Chapter 397: Triwizard Tournament
Lady Narcissa definitely didn't want her son to go to the Triwizard Tournament.
At least this kind of event that used to be extremely dangerous only scared her.
Draco didn't care about Harry's persuasion, and he snuck outside, trying to get the seniors to help him cast his name in.
Thankfully, Monta and the rest of the senior students of the Slytherin Quidditch team didn't agree to his request, otherwise the situation would have gotten very troublesome.
Late that night, a sneaky shadow sneaked up on the Goblet of Fire.
This figure is none other than "Mad-Eyed" Atosto Moody.
Dressed in a ragged trench coat, he cautiously looked around, and stealthily threw a note with Harry Potter's name on it into the Goblet of Fire.
At the same time, Merope Riddle stood not far away like a ghost.
In fact, it was no problem to think of her as a ghost, because no one noticed the presence.
Most people who passed by her would only ignore her figure, as if their consciousness had been distorted.
Suppose someone tries to walk past her, they will pass through her body as well.
Vientiane camouflage and quantum confusion are powerful enough to allow her to walk freely in Hogwarts castles, the Forbidden Forest, the Chamber of Secrets, and the Confinement Chamber, except for any area of the Headmaster's Chambers where Dumbledore's clone is located.
Vientiane camouflage can manipulate spectral phenomena, that is, create powerful magic that all means of observation and exploration involved in electromagnetic forces have completely failed.
Quantum Obfuscation, on the other hand, allows her to remain in "quantum tunneling" mode, allowing her to move freely on a macroscopic level, such as through most matter, and avoiding touching the various magical sensors and enchantment traps laid out in Hogwarts Castle.
In the past decade, magical espionage between countries has been rampant to an unimaginable level.
In order to seek the use of magic between countries at the military level, or to investigate the next move of commercial opponents, various espionage activities and reconnaissance magic are constantly developing.
As the largest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the United Kingdom, Hogwarts is not only a teaching institution for teaching magic on the surface, but also an important experimental base designed by the British Ministry of Magic.
She's keeping a close eye on the actions of "Mad-Eye" Atosto Moody.
The Wizarding and Wizarding Spy Organization, which is a subsidiary of the Soviet State Security Council and the Council of Soviet Wizards, has been investigating secret experiments with Hogwarts.
From the relatively reliable intelligence analysis, it is not difficult to see that Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is teaming up with the Royal Academy and a group of the most powerful academic powers in modern times to try to study national magic to counter and break the magic iron curtain of the Soviet Union.
This kind of news naturally attracted the attention of the Soviet side, and the intelligence systems of Europe and the United States were constantly trying to infiltrate the Soviet Union, and in turn, the Soviet intelligence network was constantly capturing all the information worthy of vigilance.
...... "Mad Eye" Moody, a former Ministry of Magic Auror, suffered from traumatic stress disorder (POST) during the battle with Voldemort, and he was dissuaded from his post after the battle, and he retired from his body and is now employed as a Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher......
This is what most people know on the surface, and only those who know the bottom line like Merope Riddle know that the other party is not Mad Eye Moody, but Barty Crouch Jr., who uses compound drugs to disguise himself as Mad Eye Moody.
Barty Crouch Jr. was also one of the Death Eaters who followed Voldemort in the past, and was also an avid follower of Voldemort.
After Voldemort's downfall, he was replaced, and his father, Barty Crouch, forcibly placed him under house arrest, otherwise he would have stayed in Azkaban to play Quint with the Dementors in accordance with the crime he had committed against torturing the Longbottoms with the Diamond Curse.
And now, this man has infiltrated Hogwarts disguised as Mad-Eye Moody, and the ghosts can tell that he actually has bad intentions.
"Barty Crouch Jr. has been under house arrest, and he has no access to the modern magical system, as well as the industry of magic and the modern occult......"
Merope Riddle said to herself, "Honestly, I don't think he can break through Hogwarts' defenses with his three-legged cat magic. ”
"Maybe it was deliberately put in."
Her action partner, the skull monster, laughed: "Dumbledore has always been treacherous, and there is a deep intention behind his actions like this, we might as well take advantage of this little Barty Crouch." ”
He deliberately threw the note with Harry Potter written on it into the Goblet of Fire, apparently trying to lure Harry Potter into the Triwizard Tournament.
Melop hid in the shadows of the pillar, waiting for Barty Jr., disguised as Mad-Eye Moody, to leave, before moving her gaze to the Goblet of Fire.
With a bang, the flames erupted, and a note with Harry Potter written on it was spat out by the flames.
The note, which had been burned to ashes by the flames, was restored to its original state and fell to the ground outside the age circle.
"If the registrant does not meet the age requirements, he or she shall not submit his or her name without authorization."
An angry face appeared in the Goblet of Fire, and he roared, "Bastards, didn't your mother remind you to go back to your room after twelve o'clock? ”
Merope Riddle approached the Goblet of Fire, picked up the note on the ground, and secretly cast a new Confusion Charm.
Barty's spell wasn't enough to break the protective hole created by the Goblet of Fire's simulated mind, so she reconcocted a trap and reached for the note and threw the note into the Goblet of Fire.
"It's unclear who is behind all this, but Harry Potter's presence in the Triwizard Tournament will certainly be an interesting catalyst."
The corners of her mouth unconsciously pursed a smile.
————————
On the second day of the Triwizard Tournament, sensational news spread throughout Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
That's the weird fourth contestant in the Triwizard Tournament.
"Sounds good! There will definitely be a fifth person among the four heavenly kings of the Demon King, and a new brave trio will always emerge to form a four-person team......"
Draco sneered, mocking his friend Harry Potter.
"Draco, I told you before, I didn't put my name in it at all......"
Harry Potter was simply annoyed. He had somehow become a member of the Triwizard Tournament, and he was taken aback when Dumbledore announced his name.
Yes, for any young wizard, participating in the Triwizard Tournament is a dream opportunity.
However, Harry only occasionally fantasized about winning the Triwizard Cup, but in fact, he was only in the fourth year, and he was still some way away from qualifying for the Triwizard Tournament.
