Harry looked at Hermione with surprise on his face: "You are amazing..."

Hermione smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, this was originally a clear puzzle, but I was trapped for so long..."

Harry shook his head: "How did you guess that? Just because of the reminder from the bathhouse?"

Hermione smiled and closed the golden egg.

"When it comes to magical sounds in the water, of course the only one is the singing of mermaids."

Harry looked confused: "I don't know..."

Hermione smiled: "Their voices are beautiful songs in the water, and terrifying noises above the water, but this sound is different from the legendary mermaid's deadly song."

Harry shook his head: "How many books did you read to know so many things..."

Hermione shook her head: "This is not something unusual. It is written in a school history of Hogwarts that there is a village of mermaids in the Black Lake."

Harry nodded: "According to the meaning of this song, that means I want to go to that village?"

Hermione nodded: "That's most likely it. It takes an hour to go to the bottom of the Black Lake, and it's dark everywhere. I'm afraid it's not easy..."

Hermione sighed: "The person who put your name into the Goblet of Fire definitely wanted to frame you. The difficulty of this test is no easier than facing the fire dragon."

Harry nodded: "I want to jump into the Black Lake...just thinking about it..."

He suddenly woke up: "It's winter!"

Hermione nodded: "Keep warm, find a way, move underwater... there are so many things we have to prepare."

Harry reluctantly followed Hermione and closed the golden egg and left the ladies' bathroom. He did not see Myrtle hiding in the back and crying secretly.

Of course, Moaning Myrtle crying is nothing new.

For a long time after that, Harry spent time in the library with Hermione, as if unlocking the secret of the golden egg had never happened from the beginning.

Harry was hopeful at first because he had a great idea to solve the problem of opening his eyes underwater.

"The Christmas gift Lu Ke gave me was diving glasses."

Hermione also knew what diving glasses were, but she was concerned about the ones Harry was wearing.

However, after trying the diving goggles, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that it could completely protect Harry's eyes, allowing him to open his eyes and see clearly around him underwater.

But after that, everything came to a deadlock again.

Hermione couldn't find a way to make Harry breathe underwater.

Meanwhile, somewhere no one knows, Barty Crouch is standing in front of a rune snake.

"Although it is a very dangerous request for you to see me in person, but to show my sincerity, I come to see you, Crouch."

The three heads of the rune snake looked at Barty Crouch together, and a hoarse voice came from its mouth.

Barty Crouch was silent and nodded slowly, as if he was preoccupied and absent-minded.

After a moment of silence, Barty Crouch spoke: "Promise me you'll kill the Squib."

Rune Snake nodded without hesitation: "Of course, would I let a stupid person who once stood up to me live?"

Barty Crouch seemed to be completely relaxed, and he sighed in despair: "I have been discovered."

There was a hint of coldness in Rune Snake's eyes.

Barty Crouch smiled: "Don't rush to kill me, Voldemort, I have my own plan, and you must succeed, because this is my only chance for revenge."

The rune snake swayed slowly: "Ah, I'm not as anxious as you think, so please explain, I always thought that your disguise and my plan were all seamless..."

Barty Crouch shook his head: "Dumbledore...he is a very great wizard. He discovered the spell I left on the Goblet of Fire."

Rune Snake's eyes flashed: "You mean..."

Barty Crouch shook his head: "Don't worry, the spell of the portkey is well hidden."

The rune snake visibly relaxed.

Barty Crouch looked down at the big snake: "In this case, the only way to keep the plan going is for me to keep it a secret."

Rune Snake said casually: "But keeping secrets is very difficult for wizards."

Barty Crouch nodded: "I will use the safest method, don't worry."

Rune Snake smiled: "But you can only continue to complete this plan for me if you are alive."

Barty Crouch shook his head: "I have arranged everything at the Ministry of Magic. Only if I die will Dumbledore relax his vigilance and make the plan possible to succeed."

Rune Snake glanced at Barty Crouch with scrutiny: "What is your plan?"

Barty Crouch was silent for a moment: "Ludo Bagman, he owes Gringotts a lot of money because he opened a bet during the Quidditch World Cup and lost a lot of money. , and now the debt is exploding.”

"I gave him some of my family's property to pay off his debts."

The rune snake laughed.

He suddenly began to appreciate the frail, pathetic old wizard in front of him.

There is no wizard among the Death Eaters who knows how to hide.

"So this is all a deal between you and Ludo Bagman and has nothing to do with me?"

Barty Crouch nodded: "Only in this way can Dumbledore relax his vigilance. Ludo Bagman will help me continue my plan, and no one will be surprised when I deal with Lu Ke, let alone that and Harry Potter related."

Rune Snake nodded: "Actually, with so many people helping, Harry Potter will definitely be able to get the Goblet of Fire before the other warriors. The only unexpected factor is the troublesome Squib Lu Ke, but if he is delayed, Then it will be much simpler.”

Barty Crouch turned and glanced out the dark window.

"The premise of everything is that I have died, and everyone has relaxed their vigilance and thought that no more accidents will happen."

The Rune Snake let out a long sigh: "How are you going to die?"

Barty Crouch smiled: "Of course in full view of everyone, in Hogwarts."

Rune Snake nodded: "Then farewell, Barty Crouch..."

On this day, Barty Crouch walked into Hogwarts.

Because of the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Crouch often visited Hogwarts, and his visit did not cause many surprises.

Dumbledore met Barty Crouch in the principal's office, but just as he originally thought, Barty Crouch had nothing special to do and was just here to confirm the preparations.
