Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 309 The truth about the killing curse

"Professor Karkaroff,"

He took a deep breath first, and then let his voice come out clearly: "Why didn't you use a wand when you cast projection magic on that piece of parchment the night before Bagman was killed? "

"And not only that time, in fact throughout the afternoon of that day, and before Mr. Bagman was killed the next day, no one saw you using the wand at all. And after Mr. Bagman's death, you were projecting the new Hegemony During the game schedule, he started to use the wand again... May I ask why this is?"

"...This is my freedom."

Karkaroff replied stiffly.

"No, that's because your wand wasn't in your hand at all at that time, it was in Barty Crouch's possession, right?"

Avada stared at Karkaroff, with an imperceptible doubt flashing deep in his eyes, and then continued loudly: "So can I draw the conclusion that there was more than one person who killed Mr. Bagman? The killing curse actually has another spell..."

"Flashback spell."

"What?"

The students who were still discussing in low voices couldn't help but be stunned - what does the flashback curse have to do with killing, and the killing curse?

However, as the answer was revealed, the expressions of many students who had quick minds changed. And the previous joy on Karkaroff's face instantly dissipated completely...

"This answer was demonstrated to me by Mr. Crouch himself - yes, the Killing Curse is a profound spell that is almost impossible to cast silently. But the Flashback Curse is different. Its function is only to make the wand disappear before it is released. It’s just a magic spell, and any wizard with a little skill can release it silently.”

Avada looked at Barty Crouch, with a little more confusion in her eyes, but she continued without changing her expression: "So, the truth behind Mr. Bagman's death is that Mr. Karkaroff He used his own wand to use the Killing Curse once, and then gave it to Crouch one day in advance. This was to minimize the record of the Killing Curse in the wand, and to make it easier to cover up the traces without affecting the effect... …”

"Then, after my interview with Bagman ended the next day, Crouch could enter the still open office wearing an invisibility cloak, while pointing Karkaroff's wand at Bagman and using Use your own wand to cast the flashback spell!"

"In this way, Bagman will be directly killed by the killing curse that flashes back, causing a state of death in which he is unaware of the attack. Then Crouch only needs to use the invisibility cloak to cover Bagman's chest, Then stab the fairy dagger in, then turn around and leave, wait until the students outside notice the abnormality, and then rush over immediately... The whole process is silent and can be completed in a few seconds. This is what Bagger said after I left. Man will die immediately, and no one will notice even if the door is open!"

"Then, muddy the waters by shifting the blame onto warriors and goblins who have nothing to do with it. Anyway, the power to examine the corpse is in your hands, and almost no one can expose your lies; and even if it is exposed, the killing curse matter It will only make the whole thing more confusing, and then..."

"What you said are just baseless conjectures."

Crouch suddenly interrupted Avada: "Do you have any convincing evidence?!"

"……have."

Avada frowned, and had to temporarily put aside the matter of revealing the conspiracy against Dumbledore, intending to put a final word on the current case: "Professor Karkaroff, you can put your Is your left arm completely exposed?"

"All Death Eaters will be marked with the Dark Mark that cannot be removed by Voldemort at this location, and the weather is cold now. You usually wear winter clothes when you go out, so you probably don't have time to cover up the mark, and the Unbreakable Vow can also be used Just to verify..."

"Also, I know that after you got your wand back, you must have used a lot of magic to cover up the records of the Killing Curse. Coupled with the nearly one-day delay, the ordinary flashback spell must have been unable to affect you. The Killing Curse flashed back from your wand... But do you dare to let Professor Dumbledore flash back your wand?"

"You should have heard that Dumbledore is not only powerful, but also has a wand with great power. He can easily do things that other wands cannot do...Dumbledore uses that wand to release Flashback Curse, is it possible to unearth the Killing Curse?"

"I'm done. Answer, Professor Karkaroff, Mr. Crouch!"

"...finished?"

Karkaroff leaned back in his chair, and his whole body relaxed visibly, as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate...

"So, let's start announcing the scores for the first event!"

Ludo Bagman walked out of the side door with a smile, stepped into the teacher's seat in a dead silence, and sat in the seat that originally belonged to him. On the side, Karkaroff, Crouch, Dumbledore and Maxim looked at the students below who were as stiff as stone statues, and finally couldn't suppress their smiles...

"!!!"

Already trapped between the sluggish Krum and Fleur, the moment she saw Ludo Bagman reappear, Avada's original doubts turned into shock and disbelief - on the surface, it seemed like Others reacted in exactly the same way.

"Let me explain to you first,"

Karkaroff seemed to have changed his face. The "gloomy" and "angry" expressions just now were completely gone. He laughed and explained loudly: "We have said long ago that only in the face of A person's true ability can only be seen when the unknown is unknown. So we unanimously decided to use such a way to form the first competition event, and its theme is - solving the murder of Ludo Bagman. So please Just relax, Mr. Ludo Bagman was not dead at the beginning, and everything that happened in the past few days was just part of the first project..."

"And in order to ensure that it is as realistic as possible, we have also deliberately made a lot of preparations. We also made reference to some long-standing conspiracy theories in the fabrication of the case, and even made minor modifications to the memories of some participants...specifically Check out next week’s Triwizard Tournament section of the Daily Prophet for details, where we’ll reveal the interesting behind-the-scenes of the entire project.”

The entire auditorium was still silent, as if no one had yet reacted to this huge reversal. So Karkaroff simply stood up and took a piece of parchment from Bagman: "Then, let's announce the scores of the three warriors in the first event."

"The first is Miss Fleur Delacour. She has shown extraordinary courage and ability to act. She dared to put herself into danger in order to obtain key information. Her skillful use of her talents is also commendable. But her performance from the beginning There was some unwillingness to cooperate... Based on the above evaluation and the sum of the five judges' scores, Miss Delacour's score is - forty-five points!"

Fleur shook her head stiffly.

"Mr. Viktor Krum - he has shown admirable tolerance and judgment, and played a role that cannot be ignored in the entire team. He is the one who can convince Miss Delacour to join the cooperation. credit; and in the end, when he revealed the truth, facing the fact that he and his alma mater might be humiliated, he made his own choice tenaciously and correctly, and stood on the opposite side of his principal without fear... His final outcome The score is, forty-seven points!”

"And the last Mr. Ken - he possesses incredible wisdom and logical ability. He discovered all the clues almost by himself. He is also the first person to actively hope to unite the power of the three warriors. The Warriors showed the strongest initiative... His final score was forty-nine points!"
