Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

First of all, let’s not get into the details of why some people can take a bath for more than two hours.

Anyway, after night fell, the two finally went to bed playfully, planning to talk about something serious before going to bed.

For example, what kind of ending will this three-way competition lead to...

"Crouch doesn't look like he'll live much longer."

Luna teased a small bat on her fingertips and said this ominous word in the most ordinary tone.

Before a person dies, there are usually certain signs.

Crouch, who appeared on the referee's bench of the Triwizard Tournament, looked like he was haunted by death and seemed to be dying soon.

Luna was thinking about this.

Crouch is seriously ill...

The fake Moody who is full of malice towards Anriel...

Voldemort wants to be resurrected...

There is also Harry Potter, who inexplicably received very high scores.

There must be some connection between these things.

Luna felt that she was only a little bit away from figuring out the connection between them.

"Andy, you said that the fake Professor Alastor Moody was a Death Eater in disguise, right?"

"Yes, that Death Eater is loyal to Voldemort."

Anriel laughed twice and added:

"Death Eaters like this are rare."

That's right. Among that group of Death Eaters, except for psychopaths like Bellatrix, how many of them would truly fight for Voldemort?

Oh, of course, Anriel was referring to those who are still alive...it seems that there are not many left.

"Well……"

Luna seemed to be lost in thought. Anriel could probably guess that this girl had begun to eliminate the identities of those more well-known Death Eaters one by one.

After a moment, Luna blinked, let go of the bat in her hand, and turned to look at Anriel:

"It's Crouch? Barty Crouch's son, Crouch Jr."

"It looks like your usual extracurricular readings are a little inappropriate."

Anriel nodded undeniably.

Luna probably read the case file.

In other words, she was trying very hard to be of help to Anriel...but just looking at those well-known Death Eaters was obviously not enough.

"Crouch Jr. wanted Harry to win the game? What did he do to his father?"

After Luna figured this out, she quickly connected the dots:

"In other words, letting Harry win the Triwizard Tournament will help Voldemort's resurrection... Have they taken action on the referee, the contestants, and the competition itself?"

Anriel raised his eyebrows, and threw Luna, who was already sitting upright on the bed and looking a little excited, onto the bed and hugged her to his side:

"Why are you so smart... You guessed everything right, so give him some face."

Luna sniffed.

Obviously, Anriel's tone was full of satisfaction.

The girl snuggled into her boyfriend's arms again, sniffing the reassuring scent and the sense of accomplishment of solving the puzzle.

This was enough for Luna to have a good sleep tonight, even though she had consumed a lot of energy not long ago...

......

a few days later.

Regarding the second round of the Triwizard Tournament, the Daily Prophet published a report:

It seems that Rita really guessed right this time...

In her article, she used a very dark conspiracy theory, saying that someone wanted to kill one or two warriors in this game...

There is no need to name names, and everyone is not stupid.

Those who are more optimistic believe that the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore will be able to ensure Harry Potter's personal safety.

Those who are more pessimistic have already begun to speculate how sad Harry's ending will be... A conservative estimate is that he will be seriously injured, right?

After two rounds of competition, people seemed to have realized that this was indeed not a game that should be participated in by fourteen-year-old children.

Some public opinions are fermenting, and people's attention is drawn to the third game where nothing is known.

"For the third round, we've tentatively decided to have it as a maze."

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore spoke to the people around him.

In this strange little room sat Barty Crouch, Ludo Bagman, two neutral referees, and Anriel.

"I think it would be appropriate for the four of us to cast some magic in the maze to stop the warriors."

Dumbledore shook his wand, and a small maze model appeared out of thin air on the round table in front of him.

"Our gamekeepers also seem quite happy to provide some of the less dangerous magical animals."

"Sir, your 'not so dangerous' doesn't come from Hagrid's own judgment, does it?"

Anriel expressed doubt.

Dumbledore admitted frankly:

"Of course, I think our gamekeeper has his own judgement."

That's great, I have nothing to say about you.

Anriel shrugged and nodded helplessly.

"I assume there won't be any problems with the venue's security, right?"

Crouch's dry voice sounded.

"I saw the ingenious magic of this... Mr. Grindelwald in the second game. This should help us referees to have a comprehensive view of the maze, right?"

"Yes."

Dumbledore nodded politely.

"But Ludo seems to have his own opinion."

Turning to Ludo Bagman, he added:

"Ludo's experience working in this area of ​​sporting events allows him to provide sound advice."

Bagman nodded.

“I think if the third round wasn’t scored by the referees… it would be a lot better.”

The burly former batsman shrugged:

"At the moment, I don't think... Hey, is this a bad idea?"

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he meant -

He doesn't think some referees will give fair and impartial scores for the third game.

"So……"

Crouch asked coldly:

"How can we ensure fairness and decide the winner without having to rely on scores from several judges?"

"We put the Triwizard Tournament trophy into the maze, right in the middle."

Bagman continued:

"Whoever touches it first wins."

Crouch looked thoughtful, and nodded after a moment:

"Simple but effective method."

Dumbledore and Anriel looked at each other:

"Sure, that's a great idea."

"What do you think of that maze?"

Bagman seemed very excited that his suggestion was approved, and began to actively ask about the relevant details.

Anriel chuckled.

He had made the first two games difficult, so we couldn't let the last one go.

"A maze... I have a good idea."

Anriel looked at the small maze model that Dumbledore had conjured up and drew out his wand.

Just a little bit...

"Boom, boom, boom -"

A strange sound sounded.

At the table, Bagman and Crouch's eyes widened...

"Well... this is not easy..."

Dumbledore stroked his beard, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
