Bagman left the Quidditch pitch with them, but did not go to Hogwarts Castle, deliberately slowing down and walking with Karkaroff at the back of the line.

"I really don't understand why we have to wait until the evening to prepare, and they haven't thought about the weather?"

"yes, you're right." Karkaroff looked concerned, "So, would you like a drink?" I have a treasure trove of gin on board that should keep you warm. ”

"Durmstrang's gin ......" Bagman looked a little moved, but then shook his head again, "Forget it, Igor, I'll oversee the construction of the labyrinth in a moment...... And Chris and Barty are there, you know, they're both very serious at work and probably don't like me drinking at this time......"

"I think it's a bit of a fuss." Karkaroff said disapprerovantly, "Just take a small drink, and they won't find out." ”

"Forget it." Bagman glanced at Kyle in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, "But I have something to tell you...... Well, do you have any other requirements regarding the number of reserved stands on the Durmstrang side? ”

"Absolutely." Karkaroff immediately said: "This tournament is very rare, we have a lot of professors and honorary alumni who want to come and watch Wickdore's final winning moments, and I asked for twenty more places in the first three rows." ”

"This may be a little too much, add ten more ...... at most"

"Not enough at all, at least fifteen ......"

"You know I'm embarrassed, let's talk about it here."

As the two walked along, they broke away from the group and turned in the direction of the Black Lake.

By this time, Kyle had already reached the stone staircase of the castle.

He looked at Fleur and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory?" ”

"No, I'll be living in a carriage for the next few days."

She glanced back, "And I'm going to wait here for Ms. Maxim, and if Durmstrang can add a seat in the stands, we'll have to ask for the same...... It's strange why she hasn't come back yet. ”

"That's right, that's okay." Kyle said.

He then walked up the stone steps alone and returned to the castle.

It was already half past nine, it was curfew time, and no one in the castle could be seen, and the silence was terrible.

Usually Filch's footsteps could be heard in the castle at this time, but lately the caretaker seemed to have lost his enthusiasm for touring the castle, and spent most of the day in his small office, keeping Lady Loris company.

"Fred, George, are you going back to the Gryffindor common room?" Kyle asked.

But he didn't get a response, and there was still silence around him.

"Cedric?" Kyle changed his name again, but again, no one answered.

I guess they should still be out and haven't come back.

Kyle wanted to wait for them for a while, but after standing in the cold foyer for five minutes, he turned around and headed back to the common room.

The main thing is that standing alone in the foyer after curfew looks a little too silly.

There were a lot of people in the lounge, and when Kyle came in, they all looked at each other as if they had made an appointment.

"What is the third item, is it a treasure hunt?"

"Nonsense, I guess it must be a duel."

"Agree, only the strongest can be a champion."

Everyone, you and I are guessing the content of the third project.

"Neither." Kyle shook his head.

However, when he returned, Chris reminded him to keep a little mystery, and Kyle didn't reveal much, saying only that the game would be exciting.

When it was ten o'clock, seeing that they really couldn't ask anything, everyone got up and went back to the dormitory, and soon, there were only a few people left in the lounge.

At this moment, the wooden door on the wall was suddenly opened, and the next second, three people appeared in front of Kyle out of thin air.

In addition to Cedric, Fred and George did not go back to the Gryffindor common room, but came with them.

"You'd never know what we've heard."

As soon as he entered the door, Fred couldn't wait, he seemed to be angry, and even the tips of his ears were red.

"We were a little curious just now, and we wanted to hear what that Ludo Bagman and Karkaroff had to say."

George said angrily, "I didn't expect them to say the content of the third project." ”

"That Ludo Bagman, I didn't expect him to want to help Durmstrang against Hogwarts, I thought he was the best batsman."

"We'll go back in a minute, and we'll tear off his poster and throw it in the fireplace!"

"As a referee, but helping the Warriors cheat, this is a serious violation of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament!" Cedric was also very angry.

He was worried about Fred and George, worried that they would be caught, but he didn't expect to accidentally discover such a big secret.

"Wait......" Kyle frowned, "Are you sure you heard him reveal the project?" ”

"Hear me very clearly." "They probably didn't think there was anyone around, so they didn't hide it at all." ”

"No, we'll have to go to the headmaster and report them!"

Fred was so angry that he was about to go outside, but was stopped by Cedric.

"It's useless, we don't have direct evidence, they won't admit it." He said with a sigh.

"Then you can't just leave it at that!" George hammered the table, "This shameful cheating. ”

"What did they say?" At this point, Kyle, who had not spoken, suddenly asked, "Did you mention which is the correct route to the maze?" ”

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be. Cedric thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although Karkaroff asked, it was probably because the labyrinth was still being built, and Bagman said that he didn't know which way led to the center trophy. ”

"No, they mentioned something about the same." Fred added, "Bagman said that the place where there are Sphinxmon and Sphinxes is correct, just follow the line...... It's no different than telling him the right route. ”

"Hey, guys." George suddenly thought of something and slapped the table, "I also agree with Cedric's proposal, it's better not to tell Dumbledore what happened today." ”

"What? You ......" Fred was about to say something, but was stopped by George.

"We were so dizzy that we didn't find the most important point." He said meaningfully, "Remember? Kyle is the first to enter the labyrinth. ”

As soon as he reminded him of this, Fred immediately understood what this sentence meant, and at the same time, the expression on his face quickly changed from anger to excitement.

"Damn, how did I forget this." He lowered his voice, "Bagman told Karkaroff about the third project, but we heard it, which means that Kyle also got the message. ”

"That's right." George said, "And Kyle will go into the labyrinth before Krum, and by the time he finds the Sphinxmon, Kyle may be in front of the trophy......"

"Krum's expression must be wonderful when the time comes......"

"And Karkarov's ......"
