Chapter 433: Round Lies
"Threat of bluffing, Karkaroff!" a voice by the door roared, "You can't leave your warriors now." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He has to compete. They all have to compete. As Dumbledore had said, this was subject to a magical contract. It's good for you, isn't it?"
Moody just walked into the room. He limped towards the fire, and every time his right foot hit the ground, there was a loud thud.
"Favorable?" said Karkaroff, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Moody." ”
He could see that he was trying to make his tone look contemptuous, as if he didn't give any attention to Moody's words, but his hands exposed his heart, and they involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Really?" Moody said softly, "It's easy, Karkaroff. Someone put Potter's name in that goblet, and he knew that if the name was spewed out, Potter would have to compete. ”
"I feel like we're being ignored again," Roger whispered to his friends.
Hermione glared at him hatefully, "Who do you think provoked this!?"
On the other side, Madame Maxime, who was arguing, pointed at Roger and said loudly, "Obviously, that person is him! He wants to give Hogwarts several chances!
"I agree with you, Madame Maxim," Karkaroff said, bowing to her, "I have a complaint against the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards..."
"Ahhh~ I'm sorry I had to interrupt... I don't put Harry's name in, I firmly deny that. Roger stepped forward with a big grin, a bit of a firepower in it.
"Hah!" Flemban Delacour couldn't help but sneer, "You registered all of you, but you missed the little boy?
Roger pointed at the little savior: "He just denied that he and I were friends~"
"I believe in you, boy. Moody patted Roger on the shoulder in a rough voice and said to Fleur, "Your participation in the competition is regarded as a glory for the school, winning bonuses, and receiving honors... But Potter is different, maybe someone wants him to die for it!" said Moody's tone with a snarl.
After his words, there was a tense silence. Bagman looked very anxious, his body jumping up and down uneasily, and his mouth said, "Moody, you old fellow... How can such a thing be said!"
"We all know that Professor Moody would have wasted the morning if he hadn't found out six men trying to murder him before lunch. Karkaroff exclaimed: "Apparently, he is now also teaching his students to be suspicious and think that someone is trying to kill him." As a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, this quality is really rare, Dumbledore. ”
"Why, I made something out of nothing?" Moody roared, "I have a feeling, eh, that the one who threw the name of Harry Potter into the goblet is definitely a skilled wizard..."
"And what about them? How do you explain that? The boy said he put their names in... Seven people came out!" Madame Maxim asked, pointing at Roger and at Moody.
"The Goblet of Fire is a very powerful magic price!" Moody said without giving in, "to blind that goblet and make it forget that there are only three schools participating in the tournament, it takes a particularly powerful Confusion Charm..."
"I guess they must have enrolled Potter's name as a student at the fourth school, making sure he was the only candidate for that school..."
"And this friend of his is a scapegoat to confuse us, because everyone knows that he was the one who taught the students in public this morning how to bypass the age line set by Dumbledore!"
This fake is a good lie, true and false, and it makes sense to make sure Harry has to get involved in the game and round up Roger's... made Roger and others directly downgrade from taking the initiative to make trouble in order to lie down with a gun.
"You seem to have put a lot of thought into this, Moody," Karkaroff said coldly, "and this is a very new theory... But, of course, I've heard that you've recently had a whim, thinking that a birthday present you received contained a pretending clever basilisk egg, and you smashed it to pieces, only to find out that it was a travel alarm clock. So if we don't take your words very seriously, you can understand..."
"It's true that there are people who use innocent activities to achieve their own ends," Moody retorted in a threatening tone, "My job is to think the way the Dark Wizard thinks, Karkaroff... You won't forget ......."
"Alasto!" Dumbledore warned. Moody was silent, but still looked at Karkaroff with a sense of disgust, and Karkaroff's face was as red as if it were on fire.
"How this situation came about, we don't know. Dumbledore said to everyone gathered in the room, "But it seems to me that we have no choice but to accept it." Cedric and the rest of the six were all selected for the race. Therefore, they must..."
"But Dumbledore..."
"My dear Madame Maxim, if you have another solution, I am willing to listen to you. ”
Dumbledore waited, but Lady Maxim didn't speak, she just stared angrily. And she wasn't the only one who showed a dissatisfied look. Snape looked annoyed, too, and Karkaroff turned grim.
"Alright, let's move on," Bagman said, rubbing his hands together and looking at the people in the room, "It's time for our warriors to instruct, isn't it?"
Mr. Crouch seemed to suddenly wake up from his deep thought: "Oh, okay, guidance. Yes... The first project..."
He took a few steps forward and stepped into the radiance of the fire. From a closer look, he looked very haggard. There are two deep shadows under the eyes, and the wrinkled skin is as white as paper, unlike in the Quidditch World Cup.
"The first project was to test your mettle," he said to the gang of Cedric, Fleur, Wicktoll and Roger, "so we're not going to tell you what it is." The courage to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard... Very important..."
"The first project will be completed on November 24 in front of the rest of the students and the judging panel. ”
"Warriors are not allowed to ask for or accept any assistance from their teachers in completing their events. When the warrior faces the first round of challenges, the only weapon in his hand is his wand. They won't know about the second project until the first project is over. Due to the high demands of the game and the long duration of the competition, the Warriors did not take the school year exams. ”
