It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 318 Facing the Unexpected Performance

When Sherlock returned with Crouch, the Triwizard Tournament was not over yet.

Fox took them directly back to Dumbledore's principal's office, but there was no one there now, obviously Old Deng should be at the match site at this time.

To be on the safe side, Sherlock didn't intend to go there to join in the fun, but planned to wait for Dumbledore to come back after the game in the principal's office.

He walked around the headmaster's room without touching anything. He originally wanted to chat with the dozen or so headmaster portraits on the wall, maybe he could hear some secrets about Hogwarts.

But these old people seem to be very sleep-deprived, and they all look drowsy, and they don't seem to be in the mood to chat.

With nothing to do, Sherlock could only walk to the window sill with a cup of tea, and watch the game on the Black Lake from the castle.

His eyesight is not bad, and he can barely see who is who from a distance.

In terms of viewing, the competition of the second event is far less exciting than stealing golden eggs from the dragon's eyelids. The audience around the black lake can only wait for the warrior to come back from the water, and they can't see the end in the middle. What happened.

Sherlock looked at the scene there with great interest, even though he didn't have much memory of the original book, Harry was the protagonist of the world after all.

If he won the first place in the first project, then the second project must not be bad. Otherwise, how could he, the protagonist, become the focus of everyone?

But the result after that was far beyond Sherlock's expectations.

The first person to emerge from the water was actually Fu Rong, but she came back alone without any hostages.

Sherlock couldn't see the expression on her face, but he could imagine how bad her face must be. As soon as she came out of the Black Lake, she immediately ran to the referees and said something.

Then the tall Madame Maxime stepped off the stage, as if to comfort her.

As long as they go ashore from the lake, even if they don't bring back the hostages, Furong's competition will be over. There is no doubt that she will become the worst one among the four in this event.

Sherlock smacked his lips, and could only lament that the little girl's luck was not very good, but her strength was actually not bad.

About five or six minutes after Fleur came out of the water, the second person to come ashore was Krum.

He successfully rescued Hermione, such a result must be the undisputed No.1, and there was no need for Karkaroff to deliberately favor him.

And after another 3 minutes, Cedric also brought Qiu Zhang ashore from the lake, but as soon as he got ashore and handed Qiu Zhang to Madam Pomfrey's care, he immediately ran to the referee's seat and faced Dumbledore. say something.

He seemed to be very excited to report something important, and almost all the referees left and came to the lake.

The professors and students of Hogwarts also seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and they all stood up from the auditorium, and the scene looked very chaotic.

Sherlock sensed something was wrong.

He hadn't seen Harry's figure until now, which was already very problematic, and coupled with the reactions and actions of those people by the Black Lake, he felt that something big had happened.

He turned and left from the window sill, told Fox and Fiddlesticks to watch Crouch together, and at the same time asked those principals who seemed to never wake up, and then he walked out of the castle, walking quickly Came to the Black Lake.

It's chaotic here, Professor McGonagall's face is pale and frightening, but he is still trying his best to maintain order.

Sherlock walked to Silk's side. She didn't squeeze in the crowd, but still sat on the stand silently staring at her palm, frowning slightly as if she was thinking about something.

"What's going on?" Sherlock asked solemnly.

His question broke Silk's thinking, she said softly.

"The Hufflepuff student brought back news that Harry was knocked out by a mermaid and took him away. Before the mermaid left, he said it was Dumbledore's intention."

Sherlock's face suddenly darkened.

"Harry hasn't shown up yet."

"No, Dumbledore is preparing for a rescue operation."

During this period of time, they have been thinking about the missing Crouch and Karkaroff's anomalies, but they have ignored Harry, who has been suffering from the beginning!
Sherlock was thinking deeply at this time, and he even wondered if Crouch's accidental discovery this time was also a conspiracy.

The idea was to get most of their attention so that they didn't notice Harry.

Everyone at the scene saw how Harry entered the water, and Sprout, who is a professor of herbal medicine, naturally knew the effect time of the gills.

"There are still two minutes at most, and the effect of the gills will end. If Harry stays at the bottom of the lake, he will definitely be drowned." She said with a serious face.

At this time, Moody was ready to go into the water, and before he went into the water, Dumbledore had personally transformed Professor Flitwick into a fish with the technique of transfiguration, and asked him to go underwater to find Harry's whereabouts.

But the Black Lake is very large and the water is very deep. It is simply impossible to find a person in such a bottom within two to three minutes.

Just when everyone was restless, Dumbledore's face had never been ugly, Professor McGonagall's face was as white as a piece of paper, Snape's clenched fist, nails were almost piercing into the flesh, even Think about jumping off the lake right now.

A huge figure slowly floated up from the surface of the Black Lake.

As the giant squid approached from far to near, many people on the lakeshore also heard Harry's shouts.

Immediately, almost everyone's expressions relaxed, including the professors, and everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Sherlock also breathed a sigh of relief, and squinted his eyes to observe the expressions on the faces of the referees.

Dumbledore naturally needless to say, and Percy has nothing to look at. Mrs. Maxim's originally tense expression has eased, which is also in line with her character, although she and Hogwarts are rivals in the competition. , but she herself is not too bad.

Bagman looked joyful and fortunate, which is also normal.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he likes Harry very much. Based on what he learned about his past from Moody, Sherlock guessed that he was most likely to beat Harry in a bet to win the game. Sneaking behind his back will also give Harry a little "help".

The only one whose expression didn't change was Karkaroff.

But according to common sense, there is nothing unusual about his behavior.

He was different from Madame Maxime, this person was extremely selfish, and he wanted Harry to die for the victory of the competition.

From the current point of view, everyone's reaction can still be called normal
