Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse
Chapter 299 Joining forces and reasoning
"Then, let's sort out the clues we know so far."
Klum counted with his fingers one by one, while Fleur beside him directly took out a pen and paper: "First of all, Bagman's death occurred within a short period of time after meeting Ken. The door was still open, and there were many students in the corridor after class, but no one saw how he died..."
"Indeed, there seems to be no explanation for this, including the so-called goblin attack by the investigation team - not to mention that Durmstrang's anti-disapparation ban itself targeted goblins, even if they really mastered other Space magic, generally speaking, this kind of space teleportation will make a relatively loud noise, there is no reason not to be discovered..."
"And Bagman didn't even realize he was being attacked before he died."
Avada carefully recalled the situation he observed: "It's okay to say that you can't see. The illusion spell and the invisibility cloak can do it, but whether it's the sound of teleportation or attack or the trajectory of the spell, it shouldn't be easy. Something to ignore. And don’t forget, Bagman is an excellent Quidditch player, and his reactions and senses should be very sensitive.”
"Anyway, this kind of death cannot be caused by a fairy dagger."
While Fleur was writing down their opinions one by one, she said: "And Ken also thinks that the cause of Bagman's death may be the killing curse - but this is just Ken's own statement at the moment, and it is also somewhat unreasonable. Place... put this aside first."
"Then the Triwizard Tournament itself is a British conspiracy..."
"The conspiracy of the British ultra-pure blood faction." Avada corrected.
"Okay, the conspiracy of the extreme pure-blood faction."
Fleur shrugged: "They plan to use this game to target Dumbledore, and maybe others. And those members of the investigation team from the UK may have problems, at least they may have something to say about the real cause of Bagman's death. Lie...what else?"
"There are also two British people, Bagman and Crouch, who came to Durmstrang to serve as referees. The reasons given are a bit far-fetched, which is also a doubt." Awada added.
"And the suspicion of Bagman's death was almost equally divided among the three of us."
Avada rubbed her forehead: "I met him because I was the last one. Fleur's Veela grandmother was friends with the goblin who had a dispute with Bagman. Krum and Bagman had a conflict at the World Cup... I'll forget it, how do you two feel about your suspicions?"
"My word... I don't know if my grandmother has any connection with goblins, but it is indeed a possibility."
Fleur temporarily put down her pen, held up her chin and recalled: "After all, in a magical society dominated by wizards, it is normal for non-human creatures to have closer ties. And as a diplomatic figure, Bagman has nothing to do with French goblins or goblins. Interacting with the goblins who are relatively close to France is also expected...but after all, my grandmother is married to a human, so she shouldn't have much contact with other non-human creatures, not to mention that Veela and goblins are of different races. , the exchanges are not as close as within the same clan..."
"So what I have to say,"
She picked up the pen again and started writing: "It is indeed possible that my grandmother knew the goblin who had a dispute with Bagman, but at most she only met him and could talk to him. It was probably not Crouch who said it. 'friend' relationship."
"Um."
Avada looked at what she had written, nodded, and then turned to look at Krum: "What about you? What about your quarrel with Bagman?"
"It was Bagman who took the initiative and made trouble unreasonably."
Klum said immediately, with a hint of indignation in his voice: "Everyone was watching at the time, but he insisted on saying that I had committed a foul. During the halftime break, I went to him to ask for an explanation, and he also said All kinds of weird words made me almost curse on the spot... From the perspective of outsiders who couldn't hear our conversation, it turned into a quarrel between the two of us."
"No one knew at that time that you would become a warrior."
Fleur frowned in thought.
"not necessarily."
Avada recalled the news that the university and Baron had told her before, and her speech slowed down involuntarily: "The planning for the Triwizard Tournament should have started nearly a year in advance. When the World Cup came, the internal staff They should have received the specific news, which means they all know that Klum is likely to participate, and he is definitely a popular candidate to become the Warriors. I heard that there is a special bet after the game is announced, guess Who will become warriors...that is to say, everyone who knew the news at that time already had a rough idea."
"In other words, Bagman probably already knew at that time that Krum would have a high probability of becoming a champion in the championship?"
Fleur's brows were still frowning: "Then doesn't it explain why he took the initiative to find Krum? And if the content of the competition has been decided by then, he should also know that he will become Referee...then why would he take the initiative to offend the favorites? Isn't this embarrassing himself?"
As her words fell, the room fell into silence for a moment.
"Proactively offend the popular candidates...wait a minute!"
Avada's eyes suddenly lit up as she quickly recalled the clues she had obtained in the past few days: "I forgot a very important piece of information before - Ludo Bagman is addicted to gambling! The so-called debt dispute between him and the goblin , in fact, he owes the money because he lost the bet with the goblin!"
"A good gamble?"
Krum thought for a while and wondered: "But what does this have to do with him taking the initiative to offend the popular candidate?"
"He might be trying to change the odds in the gambling game!"
Avada took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Like other major sports events in the past, the Triwizard Tournament must have a related gambling game - and Ludo Bagman is addicted to gambling. Personality, plus he just lost a bet and owed money...he has no reason not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament!"
"And he happens to be one of the referees for this game!"
Fleur's eyes also lit up, and she quickly realized Avada's train of thought: "And when other gamblers see that one of the three warriors has offended the referee, they will definitely feel that his probability of winning will be reduced, and accordingly The odds also change…”
"...Are you trying to say that he will buy me to win in the gambling game, and then use his position as a referee to help me win?"
Krum felt that his mind was a little confused - was this a little too fanciful? ?
"Have you forgotten? Cheating is one of the most famous traditions of the Triwizard Tournament!"
Avada said quickly: "In addition, he still has a large debt that needs to be paid off... It is completely normal to take the opportunity to do something! As a referee, it is almost easy for him to do some tricks in the game. , not to mention that the venue of this game is Krum’s home court, maybe even Karkaroff is willing to cooperate with him! This is a win-win situation!”
"But these are just speculations now."
Krum frowned and said: "We have no concrete evidence - and besides, what if we confirm this? What does this have to do with the cause of Bagman's death?"
"If this is really the case, then it is even less likely that Bagman died at the hands of a goblin!"
Fleur also explained with some excitement: "A creature like a goblin that specializes in making money must know the twists and turns in the gambling game, and must also know that Bagman is trying to find ways to make money to pay off debts, and the chance of success is not small - How could they kill Bagman at this time?"
"So, now we just need to figure out who Bagman bought to win in the bet of the Contest... If it is really Krum, then we have solved half of the truth!"
Avada clenched her fists excitedly.
