Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 283 We just want to eat! (About additional updates)

"What happened?" After listening to Harley's words, Fleur couldn't help but feel confused.

Several people at the other end of the room vaguely heard the key word "warrior", so they also raised their heads and looked here curiously.

"During the selection of Hogwarts' champions, three pieces of paper were spit out from the Goblet of Fire." Harry said calmly,

"And they all have my name written on them, but the prefix and font are slightly different."

Fleur's face changed slightly. Although she didn't know much about the working principle of the Goblet of Fire, Beauxbatons' alchemy course had never taught such profound content.

But Fleur understood to some extent that this behavior of the Goblet of Fire was definitely not a good thing.

Considering that the principals of other schools would definitely discuss this matter soon, Harley did not deliberately lower her voice.

So the four warriors at the other end of the room heard Harley's words clearly.

They were stunned for a moment, and Tsuchimikado Seimei tried his best to widen his small eyes, suspecting that his English skills were not up to par, so he heard the wrong words.

Fleur wanted to ask more, but the door to the room was pushed open.

The principals of the six magic schools and two officials from the Ministry of Magic, as well as Dean McGonagall, Dean Snape, and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Moody, among the four deans, all walked in.

Everyone's expressions were not so good-looking, and Moody's magic eye was moving around, as if he was equally suspicious of every breathing life in the room.

"What is going on, Dumbledore!" Principal Karkaroff roared as soon as the door to the room closed.

"Why did Harry Potter's name come out of the Goblet of Fire three times when it was Hogwarts' turn to select the champions!"

"I'm also curious about this question," Professor Dumbledore responded calmly,

"I will definitely do research on this abnormal phenomenon."

"The Ministry of Magic will also come forward to investigate this matter."

Crouch, who had been standing in the shadow outside the circle of fire, also spoke,

"This is a very serious issue and the Ministry of Magic will take it seriously."

"Oh, is this really a very serious question?" Principal Karkaroff deliberately lengthened his voice and said in a sinister tone,

"Isn't it because you at Hogwarts are afraid that Potter will not be able to become a warrior and ensure that Hogwarts wins the championship, so you deliberately put your name into the Goblet of Fire multiple times?"

"Karkaroff, are you questioning Professor Dumbledore's character?" Professor McGonagall said sharply.

"Who knows?" Karkaroff gave a short sneer, "This is Hogwarts, Dumbledore's territory..."

"Karkaroff, your brain is still the same as when I caught you, and it's still so hard to use!"

Before Professor Dumbledore could reply, Professor Moody on the side began to spit out the fragrance.

"If Albus wanted Harley to represent Hogwarts in the competition, would it be possible for him to write the word in front of Harley as Azkaban instead of Hogwarts?"

"Is it possible that he wrote Harley's name in red ink that was almost like blood?"

Ms. Maxim originally wanted to speak, but she fell silent again when she saw Moody speak, and his words were conclusive.

The three principals from other schools stood there silently and did not speak for any party.

Although it seemed like someone was cheating, as new contestants from other continents, they still chose to wait and see without knowing much about the situation.

"Use your brain," Professor Moody continued to output.

"If I were Dumbledore, I could write 'Gryffindor, Harry Potter,' 'Hogwarts, Harry Potter,' or even just 'Harry Potter' '!"

"But there's no way I can write about Azkaban!"

The words Karkaroff was about to retort were stuck in his throat.

His subconscious mind had been avoiding the question of Azkaban before, and his brain automatically "forgot" the meaning of the word "Azkaban" on the parchment.

After all, I managed to avoid being sent to Azkaban, and I wanted to stay away from that ghost place no matter what.

Especially in that place, many of his former colleagues were imprisoned, and they were extremely unfriendly to him.

But now, Moody has made this issue clear, and he has begun to realize that something is wrong with the situation.

"And I suspect there's a conspiracy involved, a conspiracy against Harley."

Professor Moody quickly launched a new argument.

"Oh, we all know that if Professor Moody didn't find six people trying to murder him before lunch, then he would feel that something was definitely wrong this morning."

Although he had a premonition of something bad happening, Karkaroff still subconsciously chose to be tough and replied to his target.

"Don't deny it in a hurry, let me analyze it for you bit by bit."

Professor Moody said unhurriedly, with the magic eye spinning in his eye sockets, looking around at everyone in the room.

"The Goblet of Fire spit out three pieces of parchment with Harry Potter's name written on it, and two of them were written in a way that was obviously malicious."

"It is impossible for Harley's relatives and friends to use this method. After all, no one knows what bad things will happen when the malicious magic and the contract in the Goblet of Fire are combined."

"Then it's only possible that it was written by someone who was preparing to carry out the conspiracy. It's self-evident that the meaning in it is directed at Harley."

"And I deduce that this is most likely done intentionally by some escaped Death Eater."

"After all, Harry Potter stopped their master's evil cause in the first place, and the downfall of the Death Eater masters also led to their loss of power."

Professor Moody used his rich experience as a senior Auror to talk in a very organized manner.

"It is very normal for Death Eaters who have a chance to escape to hold a grudge against Harley. It is completely understandable."

"And it's understandable that he wrote that Harley's school is Azkaban. After all, if their master hadn't fallen, it would be Harley who is in Azkaban now, and us too!"

"What a coincidence. There is a Death Eater loyal to You-Know-Who on the loose right now, that traitor Peter Pettigrew. His Animagus rat is perfect for sneaking into Hogwarts."

"More importantly, I happen to know that in this school, Hogwarts... no, to be precise, there are Death Eaters in this room!"

As he spoke, he coughed vigorously a few times, which clearly meant something.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Professor Snape, whose face was even more gloomy than Crouch's, suddenly widened his eyes. What does Moody mean?

Professor Snape had long known that Moody didn't like him, and he actively asked to monitor him, and made no secret of his suspicion of him.

He even occasionally caught Moody spying on him.

Although Moody was highly qualified as an Auror, Snape was also a magic genius and could naturally discover some clues.

It would be fine if this was the case normally. Professor Snape knew that he could not tell the truth about his betrayal of the Death Eaters and Voldemort, and it was normal for others to suspect him.

But how dare Moody...how dare he question his intention to murder Harley!

He was simply insulting himself in all aspects, from mental to physical! He is insulting his own beliefs and the most sincere emotions deep in his heart!

The one who reacted more violently than Professor Snape was Principal Karkaroff. He simply roared angrily:

"Moody, are you doubting me?"

"Oh, who knows?" Moody said slowly in a hoarse voice.

"I only know that someone was arrogant and domineering and threatened Aurors when he was first arrested, but in the end he got away with it by reporting his colleagues as traitors."

Karkaroff's face turned red, and his eyes seemed to want to poke holes in Moody's head.

If there weren't so many people here, he would have pulled out his wand and let Moody taste his Unforgivable Curse.

"Alastor," Professor Dumbledore said, "don't make such groundless accusations!"

"I trust everyone here and trust them not to do such a thing."

Professor Moody stopped talking and just took a step back to allow both Karkaroff and Snape to enter his line of sight.

At this time, everyone else in the room who was eating melon was a little confused.

The impact of this incident can actually be large or small. After all, the warriors chosen on the three notes are Harry Potter.

To put it more broadly, it was a conspiracy played by Hogwarts to ensure that Harry Potter was chosen;

At the most minor level, it was a prank by a student who hated Harley. He deliberately threw a few extra pieces of paper into the Goblet of Fire, writing "Harry, the representative of Azkaban" or writing his name in blood-red ink.

As a result, the Goblet of Fire spat out the notes because they were all written about the same person.

Of course, people from other schools wouldn't mind pursuing it, and by the way, they would like to warn Hogwarts, which has the advantage of being the host.

In particular, Principal Dumbledore is the only principal who can know the competition events in advance, because the setting up of competition events requires the cooperation of the principal.

Beating Professor Dumbledore in advance can also prevent Hogwarts from secretly leaking secrets to the warriors, allowing the warriors at Hogwarts to take advantage in advance.

Karkaroff took the initiative and was the best swordsman among the other principals.

After all, the wizard in front of him is Dumbledore, who is known as the strongest wizard in the world, but in fact he is also a strong man who has suppressed the entire international magic world for a whole century.

Perhaps the British wizards under Dumbledore's protection did not know some of the situation and had not collected relevant information.

But for powerful wizards from other countries, no matter how many calculations they make, what hidden cards they use, or how many lives they take to pile up, they can't find a way to defeat Dumbledore.

Who dares to threaten such a powerful Dumbledore?

In the end, Karkaroff didn't have any brains at all and just stepped forward, actively threatening and attracting Dumbledore's full attention. This made the other principals very happy and happy to sit back and watch.

Everyone originally just had a good meal and admired it, but now they are reasoning and reasoning, how come they come to the conclusion that someone is carrying out a conspiracy?

And it seems that the person who carried out the conspiracy is still one of the evil black wizard terrorists?

This is serious, people may die! Our students are still competing!

Among all the principals, Karkaroff can be said to be the most panicked.

It wasn't because he was worried about the dangers of the Triwizard Tournament. After all, even if there is an accident during the game, it is the warrior who dies, not himself.

Krum can bring himself more money and reputation, but it is obviously not as important as his own life.

Karkaroff panicked because he suddenly realized that if this was a conspiracy against Harry Potter, who had the most motive? Who hates Harley the most?

It's his former boss!

More importantly, Karkaroff's former boss did not accept resignation or job-hopping, and the way to actively fire his subordinates was an Avada Kedavra.

This resulted in their entire team being equally ruthless and treating their former colleagues in exactly the same way.

He had sold many of his colleagues before he could unilaterally terminate the labor contract with his former boss in the records of the Ministry of Magic.

Regardless of who actually did these things, there is a high probability that he is a Death Eater who is still loyal to his former master.

If he had the chance, he would definitely not mind abiding by the Death Eater rules and killing the traitor himself.

What's even more unlucky is that he seems to have been the one who stood out just now and offended Dumbledore, the only one who can protect him...

Karkaroff looked gloomy and didn't want to say another word.

"Since such a big problem has arisen, do we need to suspend the Triwizard Tournament and investigate all the problems thoroughly before continuing?"

Ms. Maxim said slowly with a gloomy face.

She glanced at Fleur with some worry, and found that Fleur had already held Harley's hand at some point, and asked Harley to lean into her arms, seeming to comfort the girl next to her.

Ms. Maxim couldn't help but nodded. Fleur became more and more mature after coming into contact with Harry.

If it were the original Fleur, she would probably have taken the initiative to ridicule the British-style barren decoration of the auditorium on her first day at Hogwarts.

How can it be as comforting as it is now?

"I think that's unlikely."

Ludo had been trying to speak before, but before he could speak, he was blocked by the tit-for-tat confrontation between Karkaroff and Professor Moody.

Now he found the opportunity and said quickly,

"As we all know, once the Goblet of Fire selects a warrior, the competition cannot stop and must continue until the end."

"Even if two warriors and a principal died in the last Triwizard Tournament, and the last warrior lost an arm, he still needs to participate in the next two events."

"Otherwise, he will need to bear the horrific punishment from the contract on the Goblet of Fire."

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly solemn, and no one took the initiative to speak.
