Chapter 348: Mr. Crouch

"Nine o'clock tonight, to the Quidditch pitch?"

Looking at the parchment note in front of him, Su Zimo couldn't help frowning, then shook his head, turned his head to look at the person in front of him, and nodded: "Okay, Lilith, please tell Professor Sprout, I know." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Su Zimo walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, he happened to meet Harry, who was also coming down the stairs.

"Hi, Cedric."

The duo walked down the pitch-black lawn towards the Quidditch pitch before entering the pitch through a crack in the stands.

"What are they doing here?"

Seeing this, Harry couldn't help frowning, as a Quidditch player, he naturally didn't want to see this kind of situation.

The pitch is no longer flat and smooth, and it looks as if someone has erected a myriad of long low walls that are intricately intricately stretched out in all directions.

"Hello!"

A pleasant voice shouted.

Ludo Bagman stood in the center of the court, next to Krum and Fleur.

Immediately, the two of them stepped over the low walls and walked towards them.

When Su Zimo approached, Furong showed a bright smile at him, stepped forward and grabbed him familiarly, but the others on the side were a little surprised by this scene.

Since Su Zimo rescued Furong's sister from the lake, the relationship between the two has also returned to the original situation.

No, it should be said that there has been a qualitative leap.

Feeling a soft palm, quietly writing and drawing on him, as if conveying some message, Su Zimo couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice: "What, do you want to come to me again at night?" ”

What responded to him was a small hand that slipped to his waist at some point.

"Shhhh

Feeling that amazing strength, although Su Zimo's body was already beyond ordinary people, he still felt a trace of pain.

But there were others around, and he could only endure it with a forced smile.

"How's that, what do you think?"

Not seeming to notice the small movements between the two, Bagman asked happily, "It's going well, isn't it?" In another month, Hagrid would make them twenty feet tall. Don't worry......"

As if noticing the unhappy look on Harry's face, Bagman smiled and said, "As soon as the tournament is over, your Quidditch pitch will be back to its original state!" ”

"Okay, I guess you can guess what we're going to do here, right?"

For a moment no one spoke, and then ......

"Labyrinth."

Krum said in a gruff voice.

"That's right!"

"It's a labyrinth," Bagman said. The third event is very simple and clear, the trophy is placed in the middle of the maze, and whoever can touch it first will get a perfect score. ”

"Shall we just go through the labyrinth?" Fleur said.

"There will be many obstacles."

Bagman said cheerfully, jumping around on tiptoe and excitedly, "Hagrid provides a whole bunch of animals...... There are also spells that must be lifted...... Things like that, you know...... In addition, the warriors who lead the scoring enter the maze first. ”

Speaking of this, he nodded at Su Zimo.

The latter looked straight and stopped laughing with Fleur.

"Then Mr. Potter, and then Mr. Krum went in...... And finally, Miss Delacour. But you all have to work hard to succeed, and it depends on your ability to overcome obstacles. It's supposed to be fun, isn't it? ”

"Perhaps."

Su Zimo smiled secretly and immediately shook his head.

"Fun?"

He didn't think it would be a lot of fun to fight Voldemort.

After that, Ludo Bagman explained some precautions and the time of the game, and left in a hurry.

And here, seeing that Harry Potter suddenly found himself, looking like he wanted to say something, Su Zimo couldn't help but shake his head, said a few words to Furong, and the two came to the forbidden forest on the side.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Su Zimo frowned and turned his head to look at the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"What people, come out!"

I saw a man, suddenly stumbling out from behind a tall oak tree, his robe was full of various tears, bloodstained, and his face was covered with scars, his beard was unkempt, his expression was languid, and his face was gray and haggard.

"Mr. Crouch!"

Seeing the visitor, Harry suddenly exclaimed, and immediately explained in a low voice to Su Zimo: "This is Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation. ”

"Strange...... Why is Mr. Crouch here, and how is it like this, didn't he take sick leave? ”

In this regard, Su Zimo also laughed secretly.

Originally, in order not to startle the snake, they did not rescue Crouch, but who would have thought that the inertia of the plot still allowed Crouch to escape from the control of the Imperius Curse and escape to Hogwarts.

Mr. Crouch in front of him didn't seem to see the two of them, and just kept talking to a tree next to him.

“…… Weatherby, when you're done with this, send an owl to Dumbledore to confirm the number of Durmstrang students participating in the tournament, and Karkaroff has a message saying that there are twelve ......"

"Mr. Crouch?" Harry said cautiously.

“…… Then send an owl to Madame Maxim to deliver a letter, and she may also increase the number of students, since the number of Karkarov has increased to twelve...... Let's do it, Weatherby, okay? All right? Line ......"

Mr. Crouch's eyes bulged, and he stood there, his eyes fixed on the tree, his mouth muttering silently.

Then, he staggered a few steps to the side and fell to his knees.

"Mr. Crouch?"

Harry exclaimed, "Are you alright?" ”

Crouch's eyes rolled upward, and Harry turned his head to look at Su Zimo, with a plea for help in front of him.

"Recover!"

A flash of red light struck Crouch, who looked a little calmer, his face returned to blood, and suddenly pounced, grabbing Harry's robes.

"Dumbledore, I'm going to ...... See...... Dumbledore......"

He gasped, his whole body looked like crazy, his eyes protruding like goldfish's eyes, and he was still spinning, his chin was dripping, and every word he said seemed to exhaust his strength to feed.

"I ...... Escaped...... Must be reminded ...... Must be told...... I want to see Dumbledore...... It's all my fault...... It's all my fault...... Bertha...... He's dead...... It's all my fault...... My son...... It's all my ......."

"Mr. Crouch, you rest here first, and we'll go and inform Dumbledore."

As he spoke, Harry Potter turned his head, looked at Su Zimo, and said, "Cedric, please watch Mr. Crouch here, don't let him run around, okay?" ”

"I'd better go."

Su Zimo shook his head and said faintly: "Besides, do you know the password of Professor Dumbledore's office?" ”
