Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 520 The Second Portkey
"what happened?"

Fake Moody rushed over on his lame leg.

Of course he saw Fish being taken away by the Triwizard Cup, and he also saw the sparks emitted by Harry, but Moody's artificial leg made him move far slower than the other three patrolmen, even if he was in Harry It's useless to start moving before firing the sparks.

But this is not a big problem, he has not been exposed yet, and the spare Portkey that was originally used to kidnap Fish needs to be carried with him, so he set it as a timing type, and he can't take Harry away before the time comes. to send away.

Now, he just had to make sure not to reveal his identity and try to stay by Harry's side until the spare Portkey came into effect.

So Barty Cratch Jr. maintained a surprised expression and came to the crowd pretending to be ignorant.

"The trophy of the Trifinals was made into a portkey, and Fish was taken away by it."

Dumbledore briefly explained the situation, with boundless anger suppressed in his blue eyes.

After Krum was sent out of the maze, he said that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and Karkaroff clamored to stop the game.

In fact, Dumbledore had a bad premonition at the time, and wanted to suspend the game, but the two referees representing the Ministry of Magic, Fudge Connelly and Ludo Bagman, never stopped in the middle of the three-final match. For the same reason, he firmly refused.

As the organizer, Hogwarts had used a similar reason to allow the match to continue when Harry was selected before, so Dumbledore couldn't insist on it at that time.

As a result... something happened.

Dumbledore was very annoyed by this.

According to Harry's narration just now, Dumbledore has basically deduced the plan of the person who secretly caused the ghost at this time - the purpose of letting Harry participate in the Triwizard Tournament is not to kill him, but to capture him Walk.

Considering the relationship between Voldemort and Harry, and Harry's recent scar problem, Dumbledore felt that there should be no one else to blame.

Although there are still some details that cannot be determined, Dumbledore has to admit that this plan is indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, and the only loophole is probably a miscalculation of Fisher's strength.

But Dumbledore still has a question that he hasn't figured out. Since Voldemort and his servants have already thought of using the Portkey to capture Harry, why do they have to use the Triwizard Cup as a carrier?Wouldn't it be enough to just find opportunities in school for Harry to touch the Portkey?

Is there a reason why they can't reveal it, or does it have to be today, or is it difficult for them to get in touch with Harry?

Dumbledore's blue eyes flicked over a few of his suspects...

Karkaroff seemed very flustered, but his behavior was a little too obvious, and he probably guessed who was behind the scenes, so he was put on the watch list for now.

Ludo Bagman... well... this guy is just an idiot, and judging by the blank look on his face, it is obviously unlikely to be him, but it may be the same as before, unintentionally helping Voldemort and his What did your subordinates do, and so on, you can ask them separately.

Also in the maze, Fleur, who was the easiest to attack, was holding her hands with her fingers crossed, praying for Fish in a low voice in French with a worried face, and she didn't look like Voldemort's accomplice.

Finally, Dumbledore's eyes fell on Mad-Eye Moody.

He didn't really doubt Moody, the main thing was that Fish's words had affected Dumbledore, so he glanced at it subconsciously.

At this time, Professor Moody was just like Dumbledore, turning around vigilantly with that magic eye. After meeting Dumbledore's gaze, he nodded at him with a serious face...

Sure enough, it couldn't be Moody.

Dumbledore shook his head with a wry smile, but he was also a little concerned and confused.

It's just that there is a more disturbed person in front of him who needs to be comforted by himself.

"Calm down, Minerva. You don't have any clue to look for it now. You will only waste time and experience. The most important thing we should do now is to keep an eye on Harry."

Dumbledore hurriedly comforted Professor McGonagall who wanted to leave the school to find Fish.

"Harry?"

Professor McGonagall was completely flustered at this time, and he didn't even think about why the Triwizard Cup became a Portkey.

"Yes, Harry," repeated Dumbledore, "he was the real object of the man who did all this."

"I?"

Harry Potter pointed at himself with a dazed expression, and the gazes around him made him feel uncomfortable.

"If the opponent's target is Fish, they won't be able to control Krum to attack him."

Dumbledore explained briefly, and then said to Professor McGonagall and others: "Take Harry to my office first, and I will go there as soon as I finish handling the matter here."

Although he wanted to ask Harry for clues immediately, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had to arrange the other students and the two guests from the two schools first.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic, which is co-hosting the Triwizard Tournament, will definitely send people to solve the problem after knowing the news here. Dumbledore also needs their people to help search Fish's location.

Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and nodded, together with Flitwick, Hagrid and Moody, escorted Harry into the castle.

Harry looked at Professor McGonagall with a livid face, and then at Flitwick and Professor Moody, who had equally bad expressions. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Hagrid on the side patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him, "Don't think so much, Harry, it's not your fault."

"Hmm..." Harry replied vaguely, but his heart was still full of guilt.

Several people came to Dumbledore's office in silence. Professor Flitwick conjured up some chairs, and everyone sat down around Harry.

Professor McGonagall was facing Harry and sitting right in front of him, but instead of paying attention to Harry, she lowered her head, stared at the ground in a trance, and unconsciously grabbed in his robes...

This was the first time Harry saw Professor McGonagall so vulnerable.

The guilt in his heart deepened.

After a while, the door of the office was opened again, and Snape and Professor Sprout walked in. Snape gave Harry a cold look, then took a chair and sat at a distance.

And Professor Sprout sat next to Professor McGonagall, looking worriedly at her who was in a daze, but like Harry, she didn't know what to say.

"Harry, can you think of any clues?" Professor Moody, who was sitting on Harry's left, suddenly broke the awkward silence in the office, "During the Triwizard Tournament, who gave you an extra Help? If things are really as Dumbledore guessed."

Professor McGonagall looked up sharply, staring nervously at Harry.

Harry licked his dry lips, glanced at Professor McGonagall, then at Professor Moody, hesitant to speak.

"By the way, I gave you a hint in the first scene..." Professor Moody grabbed his crutch, tapped his forehead with the handle, and said proactively, "Well, this way What I said, I do have a little suspicion...then who else but me?"

Seeing what Professor Moody said, coupled with Professor McGonagall's expectant eyes, Harry also began to try to remember...

"Hagrid...he...told me about the first fight with the dragon."

Harry glanced at Hagrid on the right, and said truthfully, "As for the others..."

He shook his head and said, "Fish said the hint for the second game at the beginning. Besides, Ron has been practicing the spell with me."

"So..." Professor Moody turned to Harry, and leaned forward, "Who taught you the Sickness Curse?" His magic eye stopped moving around, but joined the other normal eye. , stared at Harry firmly, and said, "I just remind you of the Flying Curse."

Harry replied somewhat flusteredly: "Then, that's what I...found it by flipping through the book myself."

All the professors except Hagrid knew he was lying.

This is not only because of Harry's flustered performance, but also because the Eye Disease Curse is a relatively harmful curse, and it is definitely not a spell that he can learn now, and the book that records this spell is also placed in the library. The restricted section was not something he could easily borrow.

"This concerns Fish's safety! What are you still hiding?!"

Professor Moody stood up, took a step forward, approached Harry, and asked sharply.

Harry, on the other hand, pursed his lips tightly and refused to answer.

"We need clues now! Harry! Don't you want to rescue Fish?!"

Professor Moody slammed the crutch in his hand, growled angrily, and approached Harry again.

Harry was sprayed with saliva all over his face, and he could even feel Professor Moody's violent snorting, and...

Crutches already taped to the back of his hand and calf.

　The thing I don't understand about the Goblet of Fire is this. Little Barty spends so much time alone with Harry, and he can be sent away with a Portkey at any time. He doesn't even use it for school. He sends an anonymous gift at Christmas. Put a Portkey and Harry will be sent away when he opens the present.

　　After thinking about it, I can only explain it as Voldemort's evil taste and sense of ritual.

　　……

　　I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that I was taking the college entrance examination, and I don’t know if I was reborn in the dream or something. In short, I already have the memory of a college that I spent once.

　　So witty, I applied for the university again...

　　And then failed...
