After quickly descending the ropes hanging on the castle wall to the lawn in front of the castle, Hugo and Veneto ran quickly towards the place where Harryharry had just left.

In a short ten seconds, they quickly crossed the lawn outside the main entrance of the castle and entered the Forbidden Forest, and with extraordinary hearing, Veneto quickly found the target.

"The other party hasn't left yet, but is already close to the edge of the castle's defensive magic radiation." Veneto's voice quickly rang in the admiral's network.

"We can only pray that the other party hasn't precisely tested the radiation range of the defensive magic in the castle like we have, so we might have a chance to catch up with the other party before they escape."

"Hopefully, we'll be lucky enough." Hugo quickly crossed a few tree roots and avoided a branch, then tightened his grip on the wand in his hand.

After chasing forward for three or four minutes, Hugo and Veneto saw the two people walking in front of them through the bushes. At this time, they had completely left the radiation range of the castle's anti-apparition magic.

"Looks like I've been discovered!" At this moment, the fake Fleur in front suddenly drew out her wand, stunned Harry with a Stupefy, and then shot a Killing Curse directly at Hugo.

Seeing this, Veneto had to give up the plan to attack, and then quickly approached Hugo. After all, for a ship girl, protecting the admiral is a principle engraved in the soul, and nothing has a higher priority than this.

"Fire a red spark." Hugo said to Veneto, who summoned a bulletproof steel armor plate, and then together with Veneto, they held up the steel plate and rushed towards the opponent while casting spells.

The fake Fleur obviously didn't have a good way to deal with this steel plate with a thickness of more than 300mm, so she could only drag Harry back while releasing magic after magic.

However, these magics couldn't even stop Hugo and Veneto's footsteps, and could only watch Hugo and Veneto approach step by step.

For Hugo and Veneto, as long as they could interfere with the other party's ability to use Apparition, it would be enough. After all, Veneto had just released a red spark representing distress, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

"Die!" Just as Hugo and the other two came to a tree root, the fake Fleur showed a crazy smile on her face that would never appear on the real Fleur's face.

At this moment, Hugo suddenly felt a strong suction coming from under his feet, and at the same time, it seemed as if a hook was fiercely hooking forward behind his navel with an irresistible momentum.

"Damn it!" At this moment, Hugo immediately realized that this guy had just released a spell to cover up the fact that he had released a Portkey-making spell, and then lured them into this trap by retreating.

What was used as a trap was a section of tree root lying on the ground, occupying a large area. If you didn't know in advance, it would be easy to step on it directly.

On the other side, Veneto was obviously also tricked, but unlike Hugo's slightly slow movements, Veneto gently waved her left hand before being teleported away, hitting Harry, who was being held in the fake Fleur's hand, with a ship girl's unique magic.

"Fortunately, it's still in time." After using the Portkey to send Hugo and Veneto away, the fake Fleur glanced at the red spark that Veneto had shot into the sky just now, and then Apparated away with Harry.

"It seems we're one step late." Not long after everyone had left, Professor McGonagall arrived in the woods with Moody.

"Damn it, this is a conspiracy." Looking at the chaotic situation at the scene, Moody frowned, then walked into the field and began to cast spells to find clues.

"Minerva, when will Headmaster Dumbledore be back?" While casting a spell, Moody asked Deputy Headmistress McGonagall. "This is not an ordinary kidnapping case."

"I know, but Headmaster Dumbledore and Madam Maxime are not at school tonight. One went to Egypt and the other went to Russia for the magical creatures needed for the third game, and they can't return in a short time."

"Damn it! This must be a premeditated attack." Hearing that the two headmasters were not there today, Moody cursed in a low voice. As an experienced Auror, he realized that something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the scene.

"Ever since Harry was inexplicably chosen as a champion, I've felt something was wrong. Now I want to see who is behind the scenes and what tricks they are playing."

Unfortunately, because of the short but intense battle that had just taken place here, there were not many traces left at the scene. Moody used several detection-specific spells before determining that three people had fought here and then disappeared together.

"Based on the current information, the Fleur is most likely fake, so they chose today, when both headmasters are away, to try to lead Harry away, but were accidentally discovered by Miss Veneto and Mr. Granger."

After completing the on-site survey, Moody, with a grim face, straightened up while holding his wand, and then said to Professor McGonagall, who was nervously waiting for an answer.

"The person disguised as Fleur is very powerful, and has continuously cast multiple dark magic spells, including the Killing Curse, in an attempt to attack Veneto and the others, but they were all blocked by Veneto and the others with some kind of heavy protective barrier."

"So in the end, this disguised dark wizard could only secretly turn a small thing into a trigger-type Portkey to teleport the two students away, and then Apparate away with Harry himself."

"Oh my god! This is simply..." After listening to Professor Moody's analysis, Professor McGonagall covered her heart with her hand and exclaimed softly, "I hope they are all right—"

At this moment, with a crisp cracking sound, Enterprise, with a somewhat ugly face, appeared next to Professor McGonagall and Moody.

She first made a pre-arranged gesture to Moody to confirm her identity, and then looked at Professor McGonagall and said:

"Something big happened on the Beauxbatons side. The real Fleur was attacked and hidden in the dormitory after dinner tonight. It wasn't until I went over that they discovered that Fleur was in a comatose state and was hidden in the closet in her room."

"It's been several hours since dinner, didn't anyone notice this?" Moody said with wide eyes, "I remember Beauxbatons' method of managing students is more like managing beaters, with roll calls several times every morning and evening."

"Because Fleur, as a champion in this competition, has a single dormitory, and usually no one except Madam Maxime can enter."

"So when they found that Fleur didn't come during the roll call, the prefect in charge of affairs temporarily went to inquire, and as a result, they heard Fleur say through the door that she was not feeling well and wanted to rest for a while before coming back."

"Just like I said, dark wizards will launch sneak attacks at any time." After listening to Enterprise's words, Moody sighed, "That is to say, the person who was playing tricks before has been disguised as Fleur all along, right?"

"This is the worst news I have to say today." Enterprise pursed her lips, and then said, "The other party should have disguised themselves as that prefect, and only seized the opportunity today to launch a sneak attack and swap with Fleur, and then disguised the prefect's body as resting on the bed."
