Chapter 205: Discussion and the Cold War
The auditorium was buzzing and noisy, and John saw that Percy wanted to maintain order.
"Percy."
John stopped Percy, who looked at the auditorium and walked over.
John was also surprised by the fourth Warrior, but he was more concerned about what to do with it.
"There was a lot of noise in the next room, and Ms. Maxim and Principal Karkaroff felt that it was unfair, and Mr. Crouch was very embarrassed."
Percy didn't hide it, and now there was a faint gesture to do it inside, which bothered Old Barty very much.
He wasn't sure if he wanted to continue, and now that the game was unfair, the Triwizard Tournament seemed like a joke.
John laughed.
He whispered, "Tell Barty Sr. that a game full of surprises is more eye-catching." ”
Percy's eyes widened, and he was surprised at what John called Old Barty.
But now was not a good time to ask, so he took a deep look at John and walked into the next room.
...
There was a noise, and Karkaroff and Miss Maxim demanded an explanation from Dumbledore.
The three warriors had different expressions, Fleur looked up arrogantly, Krum frowned, and Cedric looked confused.
Dumbledore, Karkaroff, Miss Maxime, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape were all there.
Old Barty had a gloomy face on the side, and Bagman had a feeling that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Two Champions at Hogwarts? I don't remember anyone telling me that the host school could have two warriors. Karkaroff said coldly.
"It can't be." Lady Maxime also said, "It's grossly unfair that Hogwarts can't have two Champions. ”
They were aggressive, and in their eyes, Dumbledore seemed to be a favoritist old fool.
"Potter is to blame for this, Karkaroff," Snape's eyes flashed with hostility, "Potter is obsessed with violating the statutes, and has been violating the rules since he entered the school. ”
"Thank you, Severus," Dumbledore said categorically, and Snape had to keep his mouth shut.
Dumbledore looked down at Harry and calmly asked, "Harry, did you throw your name into the Goblet of Fire?" ”
"Nope." Harry knew that a group of people were watching him, and he tried to keep himself calm.
Dumbledore asked again, "Did you ask an older classmate to help you?" ”
"Nope!" Harry was a little excited, should Dumbledore doubt himself?
"He must be lying!" Ms. Maxim questioned loudly.
Professor McGonagall couldn't see this, and she said, "There's no way he's going to cross that age line, I'm sure that'......"
"yes, John Wick is gone."
Karkaroff opened his mouth quietly, letting Professor McGonagall's words of defense be silenced.
Dumbledore paused for a moment, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Then did you ask John to help you?" ”
Harry could feel it as he spoke, and his vision darkened.
With some difficulty breathing, he widened his collar a little and said, "No." ”
The scrutinizing gaze was spiky, and Harry felt that he must have become a liar in their eyes.
Dumbledore looked at Snape, who pondered for a moment and said in a slighter tone, "I think, John Wick, should disdain that." ”
Yes, disdain.
Everyone knows what happened in the morning.
That boy, he's mysterious.
"Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman," Karkaroff looked at the two of them from the Ministry of Magic, "you two are our objective judges, and you must not think this is appropriate, right?" ”
Ludo Bagman wiped the sweat from his round face with a handkerchief, and turned his gaze to old Barty, indicating that this was the decision-maker.
Old Barty's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to speak.
"Crunch."
The door was opened, and Percy, not daring to be offended, hurried to Old Barty's ear.
He muttered in his ear for a while, and the originally gloomy old Barty's face finally improved.
"We have to follow the rules, which clearly state that whoever spits out the name of the Goblet of Fire must participate in the tournament."
He could not refuse, and Karkaroff wanted to say something, but was glared back by old Barty.
In the face of this man who had sent himself to Azkaban, Karkaroff did not dare to say anything.
His expression was extremely embarrassed, "You must put the Goblet of Fire back in the table so that each of our schools can choose a second Champion." ”
"The Goblet of Fire has been extinguished and will not be rekindled until the next one." Barty Sr. was a little impatient with the former Death Eater.
This made Karkaroff's face even more ugly, and he put down his cruel words, and they would not participate in the next tournament.
Moody came in at this time, leaving him blocked back again, "This is bound by the magic contract, they must all participate in the competition!" ”
At the same time, Moody stared at Karkaroff with unkind eyes and said, "It's good for you, isn't it?" ”
"Proneficial?" Karkaroff pretended to be puzzled.
Moody sneered, as if to see through Karkaroff: "Someone put Potter's name in a goblet, he knew that if the name was spewed out, Potter would have to play." ”
"That requires a very clever Confusion Charm, and Potter can't do it."
Speaking of this, Moody said mockingly, "Maybe someone wants Potter to die for this." ”
The crowd was quiet, and tension was spreading, especially Karkaroff, who was a little flustered, he knew who Moody was talking about.
In the end, they left Harry behind, but they broke up unhappily.
...
The Secret Room of the Society of Stars.
John had been waiting.
Both Warriors are from the Stars Society, and John opened a bottle of Stars for this.
He kindly reminded not to drink too much.
Fleur was a little depressed, and she said, "John, this is so unfair. ”
Cedric was a little embarrassed because he was a Hogwarts warrior.
John chuckled, "It's a conspiracy, someone wants to get Harry Potter in the game, that's all. ”
Percy arrived at the end, and he watched John stop talking.
John nodded slightly, motioning for him to sit down.
Talking about the results of the discussion, Fleur complained and drank too much.
Heinrich did not speak, and seemed to be in a very low mood.
The first item is guts, and the topic cannot be divulged in advance, so several people still don't know anything.
At the beginning of the event, the only weapon the Warriors had was a wand in their hand, and they would not know anything about the second event until the first event was over.
It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the only good thing is that the warriors don't have to take the test.
And there is also a large sum of Galleons.
When the banquet was over, John and Percy were left in the chamber.
Percy spoke bitterly and asked, "Why do you call Mr. Crouch Old Barty?" ”
"You've got a guess, haven't you?" John leaned back in his chair and chuckled, "As you guessed, Percy." ”m.
He placed his hand on the table, where a silver mask was placed.
Percy couldn't help but gasp even though he had a guess, and said with a wry smile, "No wonder Mr. Crouch is very serious about me. ”
"Wrong, Percy." John shook his head and said, "I'll only give you a threshold, old Barty will value you when he sees your excellence." ”
"That'...... Does Mr. Crouch know? Percy hesitated.
John shook his head, and old Barty didn't know.
This gave Percy another sparkle in his eyes, and he thought that he had been taken seriously by John's light.
"Now is not the time for Old Barty to know, Percy, and I want you to keep it a secret." John looked at Percy and said seriously, "The Triwizard Tournament is not only a springboard for Old Barty, it's also yours. ”
"At the World Cup, you've made a name for yourself and the Triwizard Tournament will help you improve faster."
Excited by John's words, Percy immediately promised that he would do these things well.
...
Harry Potter became a warrior in the presence of the whole school.
This also means that everyone knows about Harry's cheating.
Of course, this is what everyone thinks he cheats.
Even Ron felt the same, and even asked him if he was wearing an invisibility cloak.
This made Harry so angry that the next day, he and Ron were locked in a cold war.
"Once a school year, this time it's not Hermione, it's really rare."
John took a sip of boiled water and watched with relish.
Daphne doesn't usually pay much attention to Gryffindor, but this time she couldn't help but wonder.
"Why do they have a cold war every year?"
"Probably some kind of law, the same law that Harry must be involved in an event, I call it the law of triangular imbalance."
John smacked, not knowing whether to say the friendship was solid or fragile.
You say it's stable, and it has to break down once a year.
You say it's fragile, every time it breaks up, it's the same as harmony.
By the way, the relationship between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor has also become bad now.
Because Hufflepuff felt that Harry had taken the glory that belonged to Cedric.
The situation was very similar to Harry's second year, and Harry recalled, how did it work out?
...
Some people died, but not completely......
