Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

"……I do not know what you're talking about."

After a brief moment of astonishment, Karkaroff took a deep breath and looked at Krum with a look as cold as a snake: "But no matter what your purpose is for saying this, I hope you Clearly, casually slandering a principal and the Director of the British Ministry of Magic is a very serious matter. If you insist on continuing, you will probably lose more than just your student status..."

"It's a pity, Professor. Since I have the confidence to say it out, then I also have the confidence to say that it is not slander."

Krum said indifferently, but there was a trace of sadness in the depth of his eyes that was difficult for others to detect - I am afraid that he will personally be the nail that will nail his alma mater to the pillar of shame.

Although he has never had a good impression of Karkaroff, the principal, Krum still has hard feelings for his alma mater, where he has lived for seven years and carries all kinds of memories, and he is never willing to keep his alma mater safe. And his reputation was damaged - otherwise, he would not have signed up to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

But now, the reputation of the school and the safety of the students seem to be incompatible. A principal's shocking scandal will be a shame that the entire school will not be able to wash away for decades, and the students who come out of it will also be humiliated. But if you let it go, it would be equivalent to letting the whirlpool of conspiracy slowly take shape, eventually involving everyone... But in the end, Krum still made his own choice.

"...I have seen you many times during these seven years of campus life, Professor."

In the end, Krum's fingers quietly clenched under his sleeves, and the sense of strength he brought prompted him to speak firmly: "And there were a few times when I occasionally saw a few very faint stripes on your wrist. mark. I never knew what it was before, but it wasn't until I found out something with the two warriors, and Ken found almost the same mark on Crouch's wrist, that I realized... That’s an unbreakable vow.”

"whispering sound!"

Karkaroff tried to look dismissive: "Is this why you think I have a problem with Mr. Crouch? Just because of a few marks on my wrist?"

"You idiot, I really don't know how you became a warrior... If you look at the wrists of other students now, I bet you can find at least a hundred people who are wearing bracelets, sleeves too close, or other problems. People who left their mark for whatever reason—could it be that you want to say that they all made an unbreakable oath?"

"...The Unbreakable Oath can be detected."

Krum's voice remained unwavering: "And if it is true that I just saw two identical marks as I told you, I will naturally not stand up so confidently... The reason why I did this The main reason is that we also learned about another thing."

"You were a Death Eater, weren't you?"

"...Death Eaters."

Avada quietly poked Krum's arm and corrected in a low voice.

"That's nonsense."

Karkaroff frowned and said: "When I first entered Durmstrang, someone spread this rumor in order to suppress me, but now there are still people who believe it?"

"I'm afraid more people believe it than you think. After all, the name of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year is Alastor Moody."

Krum ignored Karkaroff with his shrunken pupils, and continued to talk to himself: "I understand that you were hunted by Mr. Moody for six months before you were finally arrested, but in the end You also reached a secret deal with Mr. Barty Crouch who is about to try you, allowing you to escape unscathed. At the same time, the number of... Death Eaters caught by the Ministry of Magic suddenly increased several times. There are even rumors that Crouch even secretly erased all your files in order to fulfill the deal with you..."

"enough!"

Barty Crouch finally stood up with a roar: "I really can't tolerate this kind of unscrupulous slander! Tell your students to shut up, Karkaroff!"

"Oh no."

Suddenly, a skinny hand placed on Crouch's shoulder with irresistible force, causing his roar to stop abruptly, and at the same time he turned his head stiffly - Albus Dumbledore was staring with a smile. He said: "I think everyone has the right to express doubts publicly."

Crouch turned pale and glanced at Dumbledore's other hand - it had been hidden under the sleeves.

At the same time, the students below had already exploded.

"Are you kidding? Mr. Crouch and Karkaroff are really in cahoots?!"

"Does this need to be doubted? Doesn't Crouch's face say it all now... And I remember that I seemed to have heard similar rumors a long time ago!"

"But those rumors are all about Karkaroff! Mr. Crouch... didn't he personally judge so many Death Eaters?"

"Don't worry about this for now. According to the current trend of Ken and others... the murderer of Bagman will not be Karkaroff or Crouch, right? The direction of the spearhead is too obvious!"

Listening to the increasingly fierce sounds below, Karkaroff and Crouch's faces became increasingly gloomy, but they did not dare to act rashly because of the smiling Dumbledore beside them. Maxim, who originally had almost no understanding of these things, looked nervous at the moment. He moved his seat a little further and quietly put one hand on his waist...

‘…? ’

A flicker of doubt flashed in Avada's eyes, but he showed nothing.

"And among those Death Eaters who were 'suddenly arrested' because of Karkaroff, there happened to be a friend of Mr. Ludo Bagman, his name was August Rookwood."

Krum's voice finally gradually became louder: "For this reason, Bagman was implicated back then and was taken to court for trial once, and the person on that trial also happened to be Barty Crouch. It is said that in During that trial, Crouch was determined to imprison Bagman in Azkaban, so determined that he almost ignored the factual evidence...I am afraid you have realized at that time that Bagman may have guessed It’s time for a deal between you and Karkaroff, Mr. Crouch!”

"This is the real reason why you and Bagman, as British officials, are able to break the tradition and serve as referees for the Durmstrang Tournament."

There was also a little excitement in his voice: "Because Ludo Bagman threatened Karkarov with this matter, asking him to give him the position of referee, and maybe even help him operate behind the scenes. And worried After the secret was leaked, Karkaroff approached Crouch, and the two people with tied interests discussed a plan to kill Bagman!"

"The evidence is that the cause of Bagman's death was not the goblin's dagger, but the killing curse! But whether it was Karkaroff, Crouch or the subsequent investigation team, they all clearly found abnormalities by doing a vitality test. Under such circumstances, he insists that Bagman was killed by goblins!"

"yes!"

The students below also started talking: "I knew that Bagman's death could not be caused by a dagger!"

"Yes, I also saw it at the time. It was as if he was completely unaware of the coming danger... He is also an athlete after all. If someone stabbed him head-on with a dagger, he would not react at all?"

"I knew that Durmstrang was definitely not something that a mere goblin could invade..."

"absurd!"

Karkaroff finally showed some joy, patted the table and shouted: "Not to mention that none of the many students in the corridor had seen me or Mr. Crouch, and no one had heard the recitation. The sound of a curse, let alone a long spell like the Killing Curse!"

"Do you want to say that Mr. Crouch or I can cast the Killing Curse silently, and our magic level is as good as that of the Dark Lord?"

Avada smiled.

After waiting for so long, it was finally his turn to appear...
