"Karkarov, you should know that this is impossible, you should not have forgotten ......"

"I haven't forgotten," Karkaroff cried, "I don't think these things have anything to do with the past, and if you, Moody, can live a less ridiculous life, I don't think the Ministry of Magic needs to be so wary of you." ”

"A former Auror director who may discredit the organization at any time, plus being the host and then engaging in a privileged class, I don't think there is any comparable value in such a Three Witches Fighting Competition, it's not fair to us......"

Karkaroff shouted, looking like an old madman.

Krum took two steps back with a gloomy face, and it seemed that he realized something.

Fleur leaned forward slightly, she wanted to see Van Lin's reaction, maybe Fan Lin's facial expression would become very exciting.

However, to her disappointment, there was no wonderful expression on Van Lin's face, he just stared at Alastor Moody and Professor Karkaroff with some indifference.

Eyes can't be deceived, Fleur clearly senses that Van Lin has something to say, but there is no right for them to speak here, and even now, she can't move freely at Hogwarts.

"Ahem...... "Fan Lin coughed lightly twice, but it obviously didn't help.

A blue glow spread out, and Harry could clearly feel the temperature around him drop a bit.

Stumped that Van Lin is going to use a spell here?

These forces seemed to disturb everyone, and they involuntarily focused their eyes again.

"I'm sorry, Professor Karkaroff. Van Lin leaned slightly and said, "If that's what you say, I want to help Hogwarts win this game...... Unfortunately, Harry wasn't a good choice. ”

Vanlin said, and Harry was slightly stunned.

"If I really want to win this fight, I just have to let the Goblet of Fire pick me up. ”

"Choose you?" Karkaroff laughed, "You're in control of the Goblet of Fire?"

"Believe me, I can do it, it only takes some will, and I'm sure all the professors here can do it. "It doesn't seem like I need Harry to help me with anything, and if that were the case, I don't think you would have banned me from participating in the Three Witches Fighting Tournament." ”

Karkaroff's face was a little ugly, and the ban on Van Lin was mainly her idea, to eliminate all threats to Krum......

The scene was a little embarrassing, and Fan Lin put the naked facts on the table, which made no one feel very happy.

However, Van Lin didn't really care.

When Voldemort returns, where are these people again?

Naturally, the rest was left to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said to the people in the room. "Now it seems that after excluding Mr. Al, we have no choice but to accept the facts. Cedric and Harry were both selected, so they had to ......"

"Dumbledore-but-"

"Dear Madame Maxim, if you have any good suggestions, I would like to hear them, but it seems that your previous proposal ......"

Dumbledore waited for her to say.

But she didn't speak, just stared. Not only her, but Snape also seemed angry, Karkaroff turned pale, and Bagmund was quite excited.

"So here we go. He rubbed his hands together and looked around. "It's time to give instructions to the players, right? Barty, would you like to do me a favor?"

"Okay, order, yes, first task ......"

Barty leaned closer to the fire. Harry thought he was sick. The circles under the eyes are dark, and the dry skin is as thin as paper. But at the Quidditch World Cup, he wasn't like that.

It seems that Barty's body ...... Should have been in contact with Voldemort.

"The first mission is to test your guts," he told Harry, Cedric, Fleur and Krum.

"Of course, we won't tell you what the task is. In the face of the unknown, courage is important, very important for a wizard. ”

"The first assignment will take place on November 24, in front of all the judges and students. ”

"In the process of completing the participating tasks, the contestants cannot ask for help from the teacher, nor can they accept any form of assistance from the teacher, and the contestants will carry out the first task with the help of a magic wand. They are only told about the second task after completing the first task. In view of the time-consuming and costly nature of the competition, players can be exempted from the final exam. ”

Mr. Crouch turned to look at Dumbledore, "Albus, I think that's all there is, isn't it?"

"I think so. Dumbledore looked at Crouch with concern.

"Isn't it true you're staying at Hogwarts tonight?"

"No, Dumbledore, I need to go back to the Ministry," Mr. Crouch said. "It's been a tough and busy time...... I put Percy in charge, and the lad was very enthusiastic. But, to be honest, a bit overzealous. ”

"Shall we at least have a drink before we go?"

"Barty, stay, I'm going to stay here. Bagmun said happily.

"You know what's going to happen at Hogwarts. It's much better to stay here than to stay in the office. ”

"I don't think so, Luth. Crouch returned to that impatient look.

"How about Professor Karkaroff—Madame Maxim—a drink before bed?" asked Dumbledore.

But Madame Maxim had already put her arm around Fleur's shoulders and walked out quickly. Harry heard them conversing quickly in French. Karkaroff motioned to Krum, and the two of them left quietly.

"Harry, Cedric, Van Lin, it's time for you to go to sleep, too. Dumbledore smiled at them, "I'm sure Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are still celebrating with you, but don't give them a good excuse to cause chaos and noise!"

Harry looked at Cedric and Van Lin, Diggory nodded, Van Lin didn't care.

So the three of them walked together.

The hall was empty. The candles were almost burned, making the pumpkins glow, jagged and eerie.

"That," Cedric smiled slightly. "We're rivals again. ”

"I think so. Harry said, he couldn't actually think of anything to say. The mind was still in disarray, as if it had been brainwashed.

"Well, tell me......" asked Cedric as they reached the population hall, "how did you put the name in?"

Torches lit up the hall instead of burning goblets.

"I didn't put the name in. Harry glared at him, "I didn't. I'm telling the truth. ”

"Ah, well, goodbye. Harry could tell Cedric didn't believe him.

"Oh, by the way, Vanlin ......" Diggory turned. "To be honest, you're really banned from ......"

"I don't think it should be a topic, Cedric. ”

Cedric nodded, and instead of taking the marble staircase, he headed for the door to its right. Harry stood there listening to his footsteps as he walked up the stone steps, and then went up the marble staircase.

Except for Ron, Van Lin, and Hermione, who might have believed him, everyone thought that he had put his name in order to compete.

But how could they think that? He faced a competitor who had three more years of magic classes than he did, and he had to complete very dangerous tasks in front of everyone.

True, he once thought about it and was fascinated by it, but in reality it was just a joke, a pipe dream. He really never really thought about participating.

But someone thought of it. Someone wanted him to compete, and he was chosen. Why? Is it to give him grace? He doesn't think so, maybe it's ......

Seeing him make a fool of himself, then they're likely to get their wish. Didn't Moody think the same way? Or did someone maliciously make a joke about him?

That's right, someone wants him dead. Ever since he was a year old, there have been people who want him to die...... Voldemort?

But how could he get his name into the burning goblet? Voldemort should be hiding in some distant country by now, lonely, vulnerable, helpless.

But in the dream he had before waking up with a scar, Voldemort was not alone, and he and Trevey talked about the murder of Potter.

Potter was startled when he suddenly found himself in front of the fat aunt, and he didn't realize that he had been walking. It's strange that the fat aunt doesn't stay alone in the frame. The witch he had seen flying to the next door when he went downstairs was sitting proudly next to the fat aunt.

She must have flown over every portrait hanging on the steps of Hogwarts, and arrived before him, and the two of them looked him up and down with great interest.

"Okay, okay. "Willett told me everything." So you've been chosen to be the representative?"

"Nonsense. Harry said sullenly.

"Of course it's not nonsense!" said the Pale Witch angrily. "Oh, oh, Vi, don't be angry, it's a code. The fat aunt comforted her. The fat aunt turned around and opened the door to let Hart into the common room.

As soon as the door opened, there was a commotion that nearly knocked Potter back. Then he was confronted by dozens of pairs in the room to all the Greenington people. They all screamed and applauded and whistled.

"You should have told us you signed up. Fred shouted, half with joy and half with anger.

"That's amazing, how did you do it without growing a white beard?" roared George, laughing.

"I didn't," Harry said, "I don't know how-"

Angelina had already lunged at him. "It's not me, but it's one of Greenington.

"Now you can get revenge on Digree with the shame of the last fast dis game!"

Katie. Bale – One of the Greenington chasers

。

"We've got some food, Harry, let's get some food. "I'm not hungry, I'm full at dinner. ”

No one wanted to hear him say he wasn't hungry, and no one wanted to hear him say he didn't put his name in.

No one noticed him, and Lee Jordan somehow got a Greenffindor flag and insisted on wrapping it around Harry like a cloak.

Harry couldn't get out, and every time he tried to run down the stairs back to his dormitory, the crowd surrounded him in the middle, forced him to have another glass of Bart wine, and shoved dessert and peanuts into his hands. Everyone wanted to know how he did it, how he cheated Dumbledore's age line and put his name in......

"I didn't. He said over and over again, "I don't know what's going on." ”

Judging from the way everyone looks at him, he said it in vain.

After about half an hour, he couldn't help but scream, "I'm tired, George, really, I'm going to sleep." "The most important thing he wants to do is to find a few good friends and go to them for understanding.

But it seems that neither of them was present.

And the same is true of Van Lin, he doesn't know where to run, he doesn't like it very much, especially ......

Harry felt sorry and inexplicably implicated Vanlin......

He insisted on going to sleep.

At the top of the staircase, the Weasley brothers tried to stop him from leaving, and he nearly knocked them to the ground. Finally getting rid of the crowd, he quickly crawled into the dormitory. In the empty dormitory, he found Ron and Yi lying on the bed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Harry slammed the door shut and looked up at him.

"Where have you been?" Harry asked him.

"Hey, hello!" Ron was laughing, barely and strangely.

Harry suddenly realized that he was still around the scarlet Greenington flag. It was tied so tightly that it took him a long time to get it off. And Ron lay on the bed and watched him, not moving.

"Well, congratulations. Seeing Harry tear down the flag and throw it in a corner, Ron said.

"Congratulations, what do you mean by that?" Harry glared at Ron. Ron smiled strangely, like a sinister grin.

"No one else crossed the age line. Ron said. "Fred and George's Department didn't get across, what did you use - the cloak of invisibility?"

"The cloak of invisibility won't help me get past that age handicap. Harry said slowly.

"Not bad," Ron said. "If it's an invisibility cloak, you'll probably tell me. Can it take us, can't it? But you've found another way. ”

"You listen to me, I didn't put the name in. Someone else must have done it. ”

Ron raised an eyebrow. "Why would they do that?"

"I don't know. Harry thought it was ridiculous to say, "Plan to kill me."

"It's okay, you can tell me the truth," he said. "If you don't want others to know, that's fine. But I don't know why you're trying to lie. You won't be in trouble. Fat Auntie's friend, that Violet had already told us that Dumbledore had let you go. There's 1,000 gold and a bonus, right? and there's no need to take the final exam......

"I didn't put the name in!" Harry was furious.

"Well," said Ron, in the same skeptical tone as Cedric, "you said in the morning that you would put your name in the night too so that no one would see you." I'm not a fool. ”

"You remember it very well. Harry interrupted him.

"yes. Ron smiled, "Harry, you want to sleep." I reckon you'll be videophone early tomorrow morning doing things like that. ”

He lowered the curtain wrapped around the pillar. Harry stood in the doorway, staring at the red velvet curtain. Behind that, lying was one of the few friends he had once believed would believe in him.

Harry suddenly felt a little bad, it wasn't a good thing, the gap between dreams and reality was really......
