Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 566 Cheating

Bagman left the Quidditch pitch with them, but did not go to Hogwarts Castle. He deliberately slowed down and walked with Karkaroff at the back of the team.

“I really don’t understand why we have to wait until night to start preparations. Didn’t they consider the weather?”

"Yes, you are right." Karkaroff looked concerned, "Then, do you want a drink? I have a collection of gin on the ship, which should keep you warm."

"Durmstrang's gin..." Bagman looked a little moved, but then shook his head, "Forget it, Igor, I have to supervise the construction of the maze in a while... and Chris and Bargman Dee is here too, you know, they are very serious about their work and may not like me drinking at this time..."

"I think this is a bit of a fuss." Karkaroff said nonchalantly, "Just drink a small glass, and they won't notice."

"Let's forget it." Bagman glanced at Kyle in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, "But I do have something to tell you... Well, regarding the number of reserved stands for Durmstrang, you still have What’s the request?”

"Of course." Karkaroff said immediately: "This event is rare. We have many professors and honorary alumni who want to come and watch Viktor's final winning moment. I request that two more people be added to the first three rows. Ten spots.”

 “This might be a bit too much, add ten more at most…”

 “Not enough at all, at least fifteen…”

 “You know I’m in trouble, let’s talk over here.”

As they walked, the two of them broke away from the group and turned to the direction of the Black Lake.

By this time, Kyle had also arrived at the stone steps of the castle.

 He looked at Furong and asked, "Do you want to go back to the dormitory?"

“No, I’ll be living in the carriage for the next few days.”

She glanced back, "And I have to wait for Ms. Maxim here. If Durmstrang can add more seats in the stands, we will also make the same request... It's strange, how can she still return the request?" did not return."

 “That’s it, okay then.” Kyle said.

 Then he walked up the stone steps alone and returned to the castle.

It is now half past nine, which is curfew time. No one can be seen in the castle, and it is eerily quiet.

Usually at this time, Filch's footsteps can always be heard in the castle, but recently the administrator seems to have lost his enthusiasm for patrolling the castle. He spends most of his time in his small office every day, accompanying Luo. Mrs. Liz.

"Fred, George, do you want to go back to the Gryffindor common room?" Kyle asked.

 But he did not receive a response, and the surroundings were still quiet.

 “Cedric?” Kyle changed his name again, but again no one answered.

 I think they are still outside and have not come back.

Kyle originally wanted to wait for them for a while, but after standing in the cold foyer for five minutes, he turned back to the common room.

Mainly because I looked a little too silly standing alone in the foyer after curfew.

There were many people in the lounge. When Kyle came in, they all looked over as if they had made an appointment.

“What is the third project? Is it a treasure hunt?”

 “Nonsense, I guess it must be a duel.”

 “Agreed, only the strongest can become the champion.”

 Everyone was speculating about the content of the third project.

“Neither.” Kyle shook his head.

However, when he came back, Chris reminded him to keep a bit of mystery, and Kyle didn't reveal too much. He only said that the game would be exciting when the time comes. When it was ten o'clock, seeing that they couldn't ask anything, everyone got up and went back to the dormitory. Soon, there were only a few people left in the lounge.

At this time, the wooden door on the wall suddenly opened, and the next second, three people appeared in front of Kyle out of thin air.

In addition to Cedric, there were also Fred and George. They did not go back to the Gryffindor common room, but came here with them.

“You’d never guess what we heard.”

As soon as he entered the door, Fred said impatiently. He seemed very angry, and even the tips of his ears were red.

“We were a little curious just now and wanted to hear what Ludo Bagman and Karkaroff said.”

George said angrily, “I didn’t expect that what they were talking about was actually the content of the third project.”

“That Ludo Bagman, I didn’t expect that he wanted to help Durmstrang deal with Hogwarts. Fortunately, I thought he was the best batsman before.”

“When we get back soon, we’ll tear off his poster and throw it into the fireplace!”

“As a referee, I helped the warriors cheat. This is a serious violation of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament!” Cedric was also very angry.

He was originally worried about Fred and George, worried that they would be caught, so he followed them. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered such a big secret.

"Wait..." Kyle frowned: "Are you sure you heard him reveal the content of the project?"

“They heard it very clearly,” George said. “They probably thought there was no one around, so they didn’t hide it at all.”

“No, we have to go to the principal and report them!”

Fred was really angry and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Cedric.

"It's useless. We don't have direct evidence and they won't admit it." He sighed.

“Then we can’t just let it go!” George hammered the table, “This is shameful cheating.”

"What did they say?" At this time, Kyle, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "Did they mention the correct route of the maze?"

"This... doesn't seem to exist." After thinking for a moment, Cedric shook his head and said, "Although Karkaroff asked this, it's probably because the maze is still under construction. Bagman said he didn't know what it was. One path leads to the center trophy.”

"No, they mentioned a similar news." Fred added next to him: "Bagman said that the place with the Sphinx and the Manticore is the right place. Just go straight. That’s it…it’s no different than telling him the correct route directly.”

"Hey, guys." George suddenly thought of something and slapped the table. "I also agree with Cedric's suggestion. It would be better not to tell Dumbledore what happened today."

"What? You..." Fred was about to say something, but was stopped by George.

"We were so mad just now that we didn't discover the most important point." He said meaningfully, "Remember? Kyle was the first person to enter the maze."

Being reminded like this, Fred immediately understood what this sentence meant, and at the same time, the expression on his face quickly changed from anger to excitement.

"Damn it, how could I forget this." He lowered his voice, "Bagman told Karkaroff the content of the third project, but we heard it, which means that Kyle also got got this information.”

"That's right." George said, "And Kyle will enter the maze first before Krum. By the time he finds the Sphinx Beast, maybe Kyle will already be in front of the trophy..."

 “Krum’s expression will be very exciting when the time comes…”

 “And Karkaroff’s…”
