The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

Dumbledore and the professors looked at Harry in amazement. When they walked into the room, they found that Harry had completely changed. He was no longer that ignorant little wizard. Many people looked at him questioningly, but he just showed his determination and aura, and managed to turn the tide and reverse the disadvantage.

When Harry entered the room carrying the long sword, he startled the three warriors inside. Those eyes full of anger were looking at them with murderous intent, his whole body was full of tendons, and the hand that separated him The sharp long sword could be felt from a long distance, which made them think that the first round of the Triwizard Contest had already begun!

Immediately after, there was a burst of hurried footsteps, and Dumbledore walked in first carrying a black cat, followed by Director Crouch, Moody, Karkaroff, and Maxim.

"It's too bizarre! This is too bizarre!" Crouch expressed his attitude after entering, "Dumbledore, since the Goblet of Fire has selected the fourth warrior, we cannot change it, we must abide by the regulations! The warriors selected by the Goblet of Fire are bound by magic."

"What? The fourth warrior? This muscular man?" Fu Rong couldn't believe it. "What about the Triwizard Contest? There are already four of them."

"Dumbledore, we need an explanation. Why are there two places in Hogwarts? When is this, and you still have the mood to bring your pet cat?"

Karkaroff stared at Dumbledore. He was very pessimistic about the current situation. That man named Harry Potter was much stronger than Krum!

"Dumbledore, Hogwarts can't have two chances, we should choose one of them."

Madame Maxime, it would be unfair to both Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to offer her own proposal. ,

"Harry, tell me, did you throw your name into the Goblet of Fire!" Dumbledore walked up to Harry with the black cat in his hand, "Did you let the black cat throw it in for you!"

"Mr. Principal, I have made it very clear!" Harry raised the long sword in his hand, "I don't want to participate in the Triwizard Contest, and the Goblet of Fire, do you think I can put my name in it?"

"Harry, that's right." Moody opened the jug and took a sip. "It's not something ordinary wizards can do if you want to put a name that doesn't meet the regulations into the Goblet of Fire. I think it must be someone who is proficient in obfuscation." The powerful wizard of the curse, the Goblet of Fire is a very powerful magic item!"

"Could that wizard be you?" Karkaroff obviously disagreed with Moody, "You really care about the Goblet of Fire!"

"Okay, this matter is full of weirdness, don't forget the Death Eaters who appeared this year!" Dumbledore interrupted their quarrel, "Since the Goblet of Fire has selected four warriors, then we will follow the rules , but we need to add a layer of protection!"

Madam Maxime and Karkaroff both looked bad. The Ministry of Magic decided to follow the regulations. Now that even Dumbledore had to follow the regulations, it was useless for them to say anything.

"Guarantee?" Moody's eyes widened. "Albus, what guarantee? Do I need to do something?"

"We need to add a supervisor," Dumbledore ignored Moody, "someone who can supervise the event at close range!"

Everyone in the room looked at Dumbledore. They didn't know who could be the supervisor, and they were all waiting for Dumbledore's next words.

Dumbledore glanced at the crowd, and he raised the black cat in his hand.

Moody was silent, opened the flagon and took a sip, then stood aside, silent.

Crouch was also silent. He had already seen the symbol of the Silent Man hanging around the black cat's neck.

"Dumbledore, are you crazy? A cat overseeing the game? What would it do? A mascot?"

Karkaroff couldn't stop his anger. He felt that the triwizard struggle was a joke, especially Dumbledore, this guy was already confused!

"Karkaroff, this black cat is called Macon, and his strength is enough to guarantee the safety of the four contestants." Dumbledore put the black cat in front of him, "This is a silent man, he can also represent Ministry of Magic!"

"Dumbledore, the Reticents do not represent the Ministry of Magic! We are not a system!"

Director Crouch rebutted, he did not agree with Dumbledore's words.

"Then you can write to Fudge!" Dumbledore's tone was very strong, "Ask his opinion, remember to tell him the name of this black cat!"

Macon's identity let them all understand his strength. As for Crouch's writing to Fudge, the answer can be known from Dumbledore's attitude.

Harry entered the competition as the fourth warrior of the Triwizard Contest, so he was finalized, and the rest will follow the rules...

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was lying in front of the pensieve, sorting out his memory, looking for answers.

"Albus, should we cancel this competition?" Professor McGonagall hugged the black cat, she felt that this competition was not easy, "I'm worried that those Death Eaters will move."

"Minerva, it's useless to say anything now. Crouch has never wavered, and he will not change the game."

"Albus! When do you need to hear from the Ministry?"

Professor McGonagall found that he couldn't understand this old friend.

"Mr. Principal, I think it's better for us to wait and see."

Snape made his suggestion, but it was quickly overruled by Professor McGonagall.

"Severus, Harry, he's a child, he's not bait! You can't treat him like this!"

"I agree with Severus' suggestion."

Regardless of Professor McGonagall's dispute, Dumbledore decided to follow Severus's approach.

"That's enough!" Professor McGonagall roared, turned and left the principal's office.

It was raining heavily outside, with thunder and lightning, and Harry's room in the Gryffindor dormitory was still noisy.

"Harry, did you really put your name into the Goblet of Fire?" Ron hesitated, but still said what was in his heart, "Between good friends, shouldn't you tell me first?"

"My God! Ron, you're not really stupid, are you?" Seamus exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You're both good enough to get under the covers! Don't you know if he threw himself in?"

"Ron, I really didn't, I swear!"

"Harry, I believe in you, what you said at the banquet was accurate, I don't doubt you, I'm just worried about you"

Ron was a little embarrassed. He knew that Harry was not that kind of person, but he still wanted to hear it from the other party.

"You said, could it be those Death Eaters? The people we met before did it?"

Seamus leaned over and whispered, he was afraid of being heard by Neville.

"I don't think it's possible. We all became cat people before, and we were still covering our faces!"

Harry shook his head, they were very secretive about the Quidditch World Cup.

"Do you think Moody did it?"

Ron thought for a long time before speaking his answer.

"Moody?" Harry recalled Karkaroff saying Moody's words today, "how could you think that?"

"Harry, you see, every year the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors change, and what you encounter every year is either directly or indirectly related to them."

Ron scratched his head, he was a little unconfident, but past experience told him that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would be replaced every year because of one or another.

"Probably not, those are all coincidences, and Professor Lupine is very kind to us, he is also a friend of my parents, and a friend of Sirius!"

Harry shook his head, denying his idea.

"I think we should go to sleep, what do you guys think of that suggestion?"

Simo's suggestion was approved by them. It's already past midnight, and if you don't sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow!

Harry got under the covers and heard them snoring after a while, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Also unable to sleep, Harry is not the only one, Dumbledore is also unable to sleep, he is still pacing in the office, he really can't figure out who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, Triwizard Tournament There is danger, and accidents have already occurred before the game has started.

His mind is full of Voldemort now, and what makes him suspicious the most is Karkaroff, because he was a Death Eater before, if he hadn't been caught by Moody and confessed a large number of Death Eaters, he wouldn't have Might avoid the fate of entering Azkaban!

He recruited the retired Moody to Hogwarts this time just to monitor Karkaroff, which also indirectly allowed him to rule out Karkaroff's hands and feet.

Out of consideration for Harry's safety, he could only put Macon on the bright side, that black cat was even more dangerous than Voldemort!
