The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Returning to the dormitory, John immediately got into the magic suitcase.

He didn't pay attention to Dobby, who was serving him tea and refreshments, but took out the two-way mirror that kept flashing.

With the injection of magic power, the picture in the mirror began to emerge.

Michael seemed to be in a hotel or hotel room.

He was breathing heavily and looking extremely eager.

"What on earth could have made you so anxious?"

John asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Michael said with a serious face:

"You have been selected as a Hogwarts Warrior, right? I received news that the goblins have intervened in this Triwizard Tournament!"

The smile on John's face disappeared instantly.

His first reaction was that Michael was lying.

Hogwarts, with Dumbledore at his side, can be said to be the safest place in the wizarding world in Europe.

There was no way the goblins could do anything to him at Hogwarts.

Because that is totally seeking death.

However, he quickly rejected this conjecture.

Yes, Hogwarts is indeed safe, and Dumbledore cannot just sit back and watch the goblins infiltrate Hogwarts.

But the same cannot be said for the Ministry of Magic.

The French Ministry of Magic is a typical example.

The Ministry of Magic of China is not much more elite than the Ministry of Magic of France.

Now that the French Ministry of Magic has been almost completely infiltrated by goblins, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the French Ministry of Magic to resist the goblins' Golden Gallon offensive.

Continuing to think along this line of thinking, John soon thought of Bill again.

The eldest son of the Weasley family works at Gringotts.

He once revealed that the Quidditch World Cup was sponsored by the goblins.

And goblins never do business at a loss.

"call--"

John took a deep breath and said:

"So, the goblins also sponsored the Triwizard Tournament?"

"You can even understand that this Triwizard Tournament is hosted by the goblins." Michael gritted his teeth. "All the expenses, including bonuses, venue renovation costs, etc., are all paid by the goblins! Gringotts We have received support from the French goblins and have begun to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China!"

John's eyes slowly became cold and stern.

He said:

"What are the specific contents of the ancient contract of the Triwizard Tournament? I mean, if Michelle and I break the contract and strike out, what kind of punishment will we receive?"

"I don't know either, but there is no doubt that it must be a very powerful curse. Because in history, people who refused to participate basically encountered unexpected events soon after."

Michael sighed, "John, there is no doubt that you and Michelle must compete. You can't even compete passively, because this is also a violation of the contract."

John frowned and leaned back in his chair, looking at the magic chandelier on the ceiling.

After a long silence, John said again:

"Then the only choice before me now is to be tough. Michael, at what stage have the goblins infiltrated the Ministry of Magic? I mean, has the Ministry of Magic in the United States fallen?"

Michael said:

"That's definitely not the case. The Ministry of Magic of China is still a Ministry of Magic after all. It will take a long time to completely infiltrate it."

John nodded thoughtfully but said nothing.

Michael consoled him:

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. It's more likely that the goblins have chosen the agent mode: they bribed certain officials, forced you and Michelle to be included in the competition list, and then assassinated or captured them. Our current The top priority is to find those guys!”

John raised his eyebrows and said:

"Can't the goblins take matters into their own hands?"

"Do you think Dumbledore is dead?" Michael chuckled and shook his head. "Unless those beasts directly bribed the Minister of Magic, otherwise without the cover of the Minister, they would only dare to mobilize large forces to enter Hogwarts. If they cause trouble, Dumbledore will definitely punish them afterwards.

The goblins couldn't stand that kind of damage.

Even if they do catch you in the end, it will still be a loss. "

John nodded, agreeing with Michael's view.

It is indeed impossible for the goblins to send a large number of people to attack him directly.

Because Fudge cannot be bribed by goblins.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that Fudge is the Minister of Magic of the country.

Regardless of status, wealth or honor, he is already at the top of the wizarding world!

What does he want that his men can't get?

This kind of character has no motive at all to cooperate with the goblin!

So like Michael said.

The most important thing he needs to do now is to find a way to pull out the nails that the goblins have inserted into the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, and eliminate the danger that may strike at any time.

Of course, at the same time, he must also take precautions to ensure the safety of himself and Michelle.

That night, John and Michael chatted for nearly five hours.

Starting from the next day, John began to observe and monitor Bagman, Crouch and Moody.

According to the results of his discussion with Michael, these three people are the most suspect.

After all, Bagman and Crouch are the directors of the Department of Magical Sports and International Magical Cooperation respectively. They are people who have direct contact with the 'sponsors' and the Goblet of Fire, so the possibility of being bribed is very high.

As for Moody, his status as a retired heroic Auror and his weirdly good relationship with Crouch were enough for John to be wary of him, not to mention that he was a very scheming person.

However, John and Michael had been observing one inside the school and the other outside the school for two full weeks, but still could not find any substantive evidence about these three people.

"Don't worry, keep observing." Michael comforted in the double-sided mirror, "As long as they still have ideas about you, they will always show their flaws in subsequent competitions."

John was about to respond when Dobby's voice came to his ears.

"Master, Mr. Harry Potter is here to see you."

"Harry? In that case, I'll hang up first."

After saying that, John cut off the magic supply of the double-sided mirror and left the magic suitcase.

At this moment, Harry had gathered in the Slytherin dungeon waiting for him.

When John arrived, he realized that not only Harry was here, but also Michelle, Ron, Hermione, Draco...

This large group of people rushed over as soon as they saw John.

Harry was particularly indignant. He waved a newspaper and shouted:

"John! Come and take a look at this! That unscrupulous reporter...damn...she is talking nonsense!"

"Don't worry, wait until I see it first."

John spoke and took the newspaper in his hand.

It was actually a copy of the Daily Prophet, and it was the latest edition.

After John saw the title and related description clearly, his fist hardened.

Seeing this, Harry became even more anxious and shouted quickly:

"John, you have to believe me! I really don't have any dirty thoughts about Michelle, and I don't pester Michelle all day long to say those disgusting things! You must not believe the nonsense of that old witch!"
