Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 298 New clues from the principal

"...What? Grindelwald won't let me see him??"

In the principal's office of Noblic University, Crewe Imprey, controlled by Avada, stared at Miranda Gorshak in front of him with an unbelievable expression.

After learning the news of Ludo Bagman's murder and confirming that this was not a hidden project of the Triwizard Tournament, Avada, who stayed at Nobi Ridge University, immediately told the news about his true identity. Professor Baker used him to let this news be integrated into the university's intelligence network. Originally, he wanted to inform old Mr. Shafiq by the way, but for some reason, he has not appeared in the university recently. Pass.

As for this matter, he didn't think to ask Grindelwald immediately. After all, he had directly revealed the outcome of the entire incident to himself, and the news he brought to Noblic University would definitely be able to be disclosed. As the vice-principal, he learned that if there was really a huge danger hidden in this, Grindelwald would definitely not stand idly by - that's what he originally thought.

As a result, just now, Principal Miranda Gorshak suddenly called him to the principal's office, and then told him that his biggest trump card was offline, and he couldn't even scream...

"To be precise, he told no one to go to him."

Gorshak nodded affirmatively: "You were just emphasized."

"...What's the specific reason?"

"He said he needed to deal with some very personal matters during this time."

"He didn't tell you exactly what he was doing?"

"No."

"...If I remember correctly, it seems that you are the principal of this school?"

"Of course, so professors rely on my opinions on educational matters."

Gorshak smiled faintly and nodded: "But you should have known from the beginning that we are not just gathering together to run a university... It's true that I am the principal, but also Just the principal."

"My purpose in coming to this university is just to hope that more people can get education more easily and have more choices for their future. Of course, it would be better if I could promote my book along the way - —As for other, more ambitious things, I can’t deal with them.”

"……All right."

Avada was silent for a while before continuing to ask: "Did he say when he would end it?"

"nor."

Gorshak shook his head and said: "But if it's just ordinary intelligence processing, you don't have to go to Grindelwald. The university's own intelligence system is already relatively complete... I remember that you seem to be checking recently. Something about Ludo Bagman?”

"Yes."

"Then I do know a piece of news related to it, which may be helpful to you."

She paused, then raised her head slightly, and slowly recalled: "In my impression, Ludo Bagman was once accused of colluding with Death Eaters, and he almost went to Azkaban for this. But. The charge was eventually dropped, and he was eligible to later become an official in the Ministry of Magic..."

"Ludo Bagman is still related to the Death Eaters?"

Avada was shocked - he had indeed never heard of this.

"And there's something even more interesting,"

Gorshak nodded: "If I remember correctly, the person who presided over his trial and once tried to send him to Azkaban... was the other person who was tied with him in this competition. Referee, Barty Crouch.”

Avada was silent for a long time.

"...Thank you, principal."

Finally, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Gorshak with a solemn expression, and then asked: "Where can I find a complete record of the whole thing?"

"The matter itself is not a secret. Many people know that Bagman has such a past incident."

Gorshak replied: "But if you want to know more details, you probably have to find the participants of the year, such as the members of the jury, or even directly read the relevant files... The intelligence capabilities of the university It should be possible to do this, it just takes some time.”

"……I see."

Avada nodded heavily: "Thank you very much for telling me this, principal."

'Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch...'

'No, this clue contains too little information, and it would be misleading if used now... I have to find a way to fully understand what happened back then before making a judgment - maybe this matter is different from what it is now. The situation has nothing to do with it at all? ’

Durmstrang, underground floor, temporary residence in Arvada.

"Krum is right, we are grasshoppers on a rope now."

Seeing that Fleur showed a somewhat shaken look, Avada quickly added her words and said, "Don't forget, the contract of the Triwizard Tournament still binds us, but the right to host the tournament still belongs to Karkaroff and the others. In our hands, we don’t even have a chance to withdraw to protect ourselves.”

"For us, this kind of game between big shots is originally a matter of gods fighting and mortals suffering, and now we are almost at the center of the incident. Some people want to take advantage of us, and some people probably want to directly harm us, but we Those who could have relied on us now either have no spare capacity, or they have not yet noticed the crisis of the situation... If this continues, the danger that will come sooner or later will defeat us all."

"The only thing we can do now is to unite and turn passivity into initiative. We were selected by the Goblet of Fire. As outstanding students, if we can work together, we will definitely be able to form a force that cannot be ignored and can affect the situation!"

"Yes, the current situation has gone far beyond the scope of the competition, and we are no longer in a competitive relationship in this matter."

Krum clenched his fist vigorously: "We need your power."

"……All right."

After a period of silence, Fleur finally raised her head again and shook her long silver hair: "Do we need a contract?"

"After all, the three of us are all nominally under suspicion... If we want to work together, we must first have mutual trust, right?"

"You're right."

Krum said in a rough voice: "But the question now is...what do we use to make a contract? We don't even have a wand now!"

"..."

"I think I should be able to do it."

Just as the two fell into an awkward silence, Avada stood up with a relaxed expression: "I have been studying wandless spellcasting for a period of time. If it is just a simple contract, I can make it with my bare hands... "

"real?"

The two of them suddenly looked sideways, gaining a little more understanding of the gold content of this youngest warrior.

"Of course, and the contract established in this way will be simpler. You can also check the effect yourself... For example, can we make the hair of those who violate the contract change color? This is the most basic curse effect, like this..."

Avada started making it directly on the spot - he pulled out a blank piece of parchment from his bag, then made complicated gestures and muttered words... Following his movements, lines of clear handwriting appeared Gradually it emerged out of thin air, still shimmering with a special luster.

"Promise that you have no causal relationship with the death of Ludo Bagman; you must not attack or directly or indirectly harm other contractors in any way outside the time of the Triwizard Tournament; you must not use this contract in any way Take the initiative to inform other lives other than the contractee..."

Looking at the detailed terms and conditions, and the fact that Avada tried his best to make it clear that anyone with a little knowledge of contract magic could understand the casting process, Fleur and Krum also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after the contract was finally completed, He stretched out his hand, replaced the wand with his fingers, and carved his own magical mark.

"Then now...we are teammates."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded vigorously at the same time.
