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

Chapter 319 Competition Results
Not only Harry was brought ashore by the giant squid, but also the mermaid Leach.

Even if he was controlled by the tentacles, he still didn't give up struggling, but all these were in vain, and in the end he was dragged to the shore abruptly.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout both reached out to help pull Harry ashore. Although Snape's face returned to the cold expressionless expression again, his obviously relaxed fists clearly You can see the change in his heart.

"In front of everyone, tell what you've been through, Harry." Dumbledore said with a serious expression, and he didn't mean to avoid anyone.

Harry gasped twice on the shore, first looked eagerly to the left and right, then did not answer Dumbledore's question, but said anxiously.

"Get Ron and Gabriel out first, Professor Dumbledore! They are still tied up by the mermaid!"

While he was speaking, two mermaids surfaced in the Black Lake at the same time, and they brought Ron and Gabriel who were still in a coma.

Obviously, when the game is about to end, the hostages will be safely sent ashore, and their lives will not be in danger.

And when the two mermaids who returned the hostages saw Leach, who had been tied up and controlled on the ground, they all showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"What are you going to do? We have been doing things according to our agreement! Dumbledore, why did you tie Leach up!"

One of the mermaids said angrily.

Dumbledore waved his hand, did not show any impatience, but calmly asked the two mermaids who returned the hostages to stay, just to be a witness to clarify the matter.

After seeing Ron and Gabriel sent back safely, Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and told all the judges what he had experienced underwater, without any concealment.

The Hogwarts students who were originally spectators were organized by Professor McGonagall to organize the prefects back to the castle after Harry got ashore safely. Those who stayed here to know the truth, except for Harry, were all adult wizards.

And after Harry finished everything, the two remaining mermaids said loudly with frightened faces.

"Impossible! Leach has no reason to do such a thing! When taking this student away, he said that these are all arranged by you, Dumbledore!"

Except for them, no one else believes the truth of this sentence at all.

Unless the current Dumbledore is pretending to be someone, he will never give such an order.

And when Harry told everything, Sherlock had already come to the mermaid named Leach. He frowned, pulled out his wand and tapped lightly on the mermaid's head, and soon came to a conclusion.

"It's the Imperius Curse."

Sherlock's words made everyone except Dumbledore Moody and Snape exclaim.

Professor Flitwick, who had just returned from the lake and was using spells to dry his robe, said in disbelief with staring eyes.

"Someone actually used the Unforgivable Curse in the castle."

Sherlock casts a stun spell, knocking Leach unconscious.

The Imperius Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses, and there is no way to undo it except when it expires by itself. He can only control the mermaid's actions first.

"The point is that the person used the Imperius Curse to kill Potter!" Professor McGonagall's face was still bloodless, her lips trembling with anger, "Who would do that? In this castle! "

When she asked this question, after recounting the whole thing, Harry, who had been silent as a good baby all this time, gave Snape a sneaky look.

And when his eyes looked over, Harry was taken aback by the fact that Snape was staring at him with his own emotionless eyes.

Of course, he has enough reasons to doubt Snape, not only because the old bat spirit has always been against him, but also because of the conversation he overheard in the middle of the night earlier, he has full reasons to point the suspicion at him. body.

But Harry didn't express his doubts. After all, he had already told Sherlock what he had discovered before. He thought that maybe the school hadn't done anything about Snape yet, and he had some big plans. Talking nonsense can be bad.

At this moment, Karkaroff's impatient voice sounded.

"I don't care who did this kind of thing in Hogwarts. I just think that the competition results of this event should still be counted?"

Bagman frowned and said dissatisfied.

"I think that such a sudden accident occurred in the middle of the game, and how to evaluate the specific results should be re-discussed."

Karkaroff's face darkened.

"How many accidents have happened since the beginning of this Triwizard Tournament? In the beginning, Hogwarts had an accident like two warriors. You said it was acceptable, and Maxim and I didn't say anything. Now If something goes against you, you will start talking about reconsidering. Then what is the value of the next competition? As long as the final trophy does not fall into the hands of Hogwarts, it will be considered an accident. Let's start again. Is it not!"

In his words, he wanted to draw Mrs. Maxim into his camp, but Mrs. Maxim did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Anyway, Fu Rong's performance in this event was not good, and she could accept the results of the competition regardless of whether she counted them.

And Percy, who replaced Crouch as the referee, shut up wisely at this time. He didn't have much qualifications, so he didn't have the part to speak at this time.

Bagman seemed to want to argue with Karkaroff, but Dumbledore had already spoken.

"The result of the competition remains unchanged. This is the rule of the Triwizard Tournament. No matter what happens, the final result will not be changed. Let's start scoring now."

The scoring results were naturally no surprises. Krum returned first with the highest score, Cedric was second, and Fleur and Harry tied for the same score.

This was the result of Bagman obviously giving Harry a higher score. Otherwise, based on time, Harry should actually be ranked behind Fleur.

After finalizing the scores and rankings, Karkaroff and Madam Maxim did not stay here any longer, and returned to their residences with their respective students.

When Karkaroff left, Sherlock watched him board the ghost ship that had been staying on the Black Lake thoughtfully, as if thinking of something.
