There was nothing to say about the process of the second game, and although Harry only finished second, he received a lot of praise for helping to save Fleur's sister, who had failed.

But because of one thing, Locke was called to the office by Dumbledore to discuss, that is, in the Forbidden Forest, the body of Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, was found.

After initial investigation, it was found that someone had used a death curse on him.

It's also a bit ironic to say that in the wizarding world, everyone regards black magic as taboo, but the three unforgivable spells are widely circulated, and basically wizards with certain abilities know and even know how to use them.

In order to avoid causing panic among the students, both the Academy and the Ministry of Magic blocked the news, only to declare that Director Crouch was unable to serve as a referee due to other work.

And after that, Locke discussed with Dumbledore for a long time, and then found Harry alone one day: "Can we talk alone?" ”

"Is there something going on, Mr. Locke?" Harry asked, following Locke.

"It's mostly about the game." When he arrived, Locke said, "Harry, you've always wondered why your name is in the Goblet of Fire." ”

"Of course." Harry Potter nodded, "Mr. Locke, do you know something?" ”

"Headmaster Dumbledore and I have been looking into this matter, and now there are speculations, if there is any definite information, I will definitely let you know."

Locke said slowly: "I called you here this time to tell you that the mastermind behind this matter should have something to do with the Death Eaters, since they did such a thing, they obviously planned to do something to you in the game, and the third game is the last chance." ”

"Sir, do you mean ......" Harry's face tensed.

"Don't worry, I've already communicated with Headmaster Dumbledore, and during the game, I will be watching you secretly, and one thing you need to remember, if I do something, you need to stay calm and trust me, understand?"

"But......" Harry was suddenly confused, not understanding what Locke meant.

"You just have to keep it in mind, and of course check with Headmaster Dumbledore." Locke said, "Then you prepare for the game first, and I and Headmaster Dumbledore will take care of the rest." ”

"All right, Mr. Locke." Harry nodded, he didn't fully trust Locke, but since Dumbledore had arranged it, he decided to go back and ask the Headmaster about it.

The third game was four months later, during which time Locke would mysteriously disappear from time to time, often finding no one, and even at Hogwarts, he spent most of his time in the Room of Requirement.

It was not until June 24 that the third game was played in a huge labyrinth.

The labyrinth was created by the many professors of the academy, and it was full of magic cash, as well as many aggressive magical plants and magical creatures.

Of course, most of these magical plants and magical creatures don't kill people directly, so in case something happens, wizards patrolling nearby can quickly come to the rescue.

The four Champions need to enter from each of the four entrances in the center of the maze to get the tournament trophy, and the qualification for the selection of the entrance is based on the results of the previous two races.

The trophy of the competition was placed by Professor Moody, and it was on this occasion that he cast a spell on it, so that Harry Potter who touched the trophy teleported to Voldemort at the first time.

The four of them each chose their entrances, and Dumbledore glanced at the professor who was whispering something next to Harry, and gave Locke another look.

Seeing that Locke nodded silently, the countdown began, but he didn't expect that as soon as Dumbledore shouted a one, Filch, who was in charge of presiding over the salute, coldly lit the fuse.

As the salute exploded, the four contestants quickly entered the maze, and in the face of Dumbledore's helpless eyes, Filch shrugged his shoulders innocently.

Hearing the command on the field, Locke found a hidden position, quietly turned into a bird, entered through the passage chosen by Harry, and soon spotted him.

The size of the labyrinth is huge, and from the morning until the evening, Harry approaches the center of the labyrinth, watching Harry escape one trap after another and shake off many magical creatures, which is much more complicated than the process shown in the movie.

At this time, a scream rang out from not far away, and Harry could hear the voice of another contestant, Fleur.

Harry hesitated and ran away, knowing that Fleur had been attacked by the Imperius Curse-controlled player Krum.

Harry hesitated for a moment before rushing over, while Locke was a step quicker and came to the scene of the incident, where he saw Krum casting a spell on Fleur with his wand.

Seeing this, Locke regained his form, quickly came to his back, and struck Krum on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious, and then squatted down to check on Fleur who fell to the ground: "Are you alright, Ms. Delacour?" ”

Fleur lay there and gasped for a moment before she said in a weak tone, "Krum, he actually used the Heart Drill Charm on me!" ”

At this moment, Fleur is also incredible, she didn't expect Krum to actually use an unforgivable spell on her.

"I've noticed just now, and I've noticed that Mr. Krum's eyes have turned grayish, probably under the Imperius Curse."

Locke pretended to be serious and said: "Obviously, something serious is going on here, someone is targeting the contestants, so that Mr. Krum is being manipulated."

My role is to maintain order and the safety of the students, and I have signaled that someone will deal with it soon, but Ms. Delacour, can you continue the game now? ”

"I'm ......" Fleur wanted to continue, but she was too weak to sit up.

"It looks like you're not in a position to continue playing." Locke said as he cast a healing spell and several guardian charms, and continued:

"I've already used the guardian charm on you, and in five minutes at most, someone will arrive, you wait here now, and at the same time, explain to the people who came that I still need to find two other contestants, and they may also be in trouble."

Fleur just nodded silently, the matter has come to this, even if she is unwilling, she can only accept this result.

At this time, Harry also rushed over, and was slightly stunned when he saw Locke standing there and Fleur and Krum lying on the ground.

"Lady Delacour has been attacked by a Imperius Curser, I've subdued him, Harry, I've contacted someone to deal with it, Harry, you go ahead with the game now."

"What?!" Harry couldn't help but be taken aback.

Locke spoke roughly, showed him Krum's eyes, looked at Locke, and continued the game at Locke's urging.

At this time, because of the signal sent by Locke, the wizards patrolling nearby had already rushed over, and Locke could only explain it again, asking people to send Krum and Fleur back first, and then send a message to Dumbledore, which quickly followed Harry.
