"Favourable?" Karkaroff tried his best to make his tone more contemptuous, but the faint trembling inside exposed his heart, and his fists were clenched tightly, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Mu Dee."

"Really?" said Moody softly. "It's simple, Karkaroff. Someone put Potter's name in that goblet, and he knew that if the name was sprayed, Potter had to play. ."

"Obviously, that man wants to give Hogwarts two chances!" said Lady Maxime.

"I agree with you, Madame Maxime," said Karkaroff, bowing to her, "I will file a complaint with the Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards—"

"If anyone had reason to complain, it was Potter," said Moody gruffly, "but... funny... I didn't hear a word from him..."

"Why is he complaining?" asked Fleur Delacour, stamping her foot. "He's got a chance, hasn't he? We've been hoping for so many weeks that we've been chosen! For us The school wins glory! There is also a bonus of [-] Galleons, this opportunity is what many people dream of!"

"Perhaps someone wanted Potter to die for it," said Moody, with a hint of growl in his voice.After he finished speaking, there was a tense silence.

Ludo Bagman looked very anxious, his body was bouncing up and down uncomfortably, and he said, "Moody, you old man...how can you say such a thing!"

"We all know that Professor Moody would think the morning was a waste if he didn't find six men trying to murder him before lunch," Karkaroff exclaimed, "apparently he's teaching his students to be suspicious, old-timers, too. Thought someone was trying to kill you. That's a rare quality for a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dumbledore. But you have your own considerations, no doubt."

"What, I'm creating something out of nothing?" Moody roared. "I have a feeling, eh? Whoever put this boy's name into the goblet must be a highly skilled wizard..."

Qiubai and Severus stood beside Dumbledore, and the three of them watched the performance of "Moody" quietly.

"Oh, what evidence do you have for this?" asked Madame Maxime, raising her large hands.

"Because they cheated a very powerful magic price!" said Moody. "It would take a particularly powerful Confusion Charm to fool the goblet into forgetting that there were only three schools in the Tournament... I Guess they must have put Potter's name in as a fourth school to make sure he was the only one at that school..."

The case was solved again, with a powerful Confusion Curse, Qiubai and Severus exchanged a knowing look.

"You seem to have put a lot of thought into this matter, Moody," said Karkaroff grimly. "It's a very novel theory--though, of course, I've heard that On a whim, thinking you got a birthday present containing a cleverly disguised basilisk egg, you smash it to pieces before discovering it's a travel alarm clock. So if we don't Take your words completely seriously, and you can understand..."

"There are people who use innocent activities for their own purposes," Moody countered threateningly. "My job is to think like a dark wizard, Karkaroff—you shouldn't. forget……"

"Alastor!" Dumbledore warned.Qiubai had already learned from Severus that Karkaroff was a former Death Eater, and Moody's words were obviously intended to divert trouble, Qiubai used the black robe to block Severus's hand hand.

"How this situation came to be, we do not know," said Dumbledore to everyone assembled in the room, "but it seems to me that we have no choice but to accept it. Both Cedric and Harry selected to compete. Therefore, they must..."

"Ah, but Dumbledore—"

"My dear Madame Maxime, if you have another solution, I am all ears."

Dumbledore waited, but Madame Maxime didn't speak, she just stared angrily.And she wasn't the only one showing dissatisfaction, Karkaroff's face was livid, and Severus' face was slightly gloomy because of what Moody said just now, but Bagman seemed very excited.

"Okay, let's continue?" Bagman said, rubbing his hands together, and looking at the people in the room with a smile, "I'm going to teach our warriors, right? Barty, it's up to you Bar?"

Mr. Crouch seemed suddenly to come out of deep thought.

"Okay," he said, "Guide. Yes...the first project..." He stepped forward, into the light of the fire. "The first project is to test your mettle," he said to the Harry, Cedric, Fleur and Viktor said, "So we're not going to tell you what it is. Facing the unknown is an important quality in a wizard...very important...the first project will be on 11 It will be carried out on the 24th, and it will be completed in front of other students and the jury."

"Warriors are not allowed to ask or accept any help from their teachers in completing the competition. The only weapon a warrior has in their first challenge is their wand. They don't know until after the first project is over. About the second project. Due to the high requirements and long duration of the competition, the warriors will not take the school year exam." Mr. Crouch turned to look at Dumbledore, "I think that's all, Albus ?”

"Yes," said Dumbledore, looking at Mr. Crouch with some concern, "you really don't want to stay at Hogwarts tonight, Barty?"

"Yes, Dumbledore, I must go back to the Ministry," said Mr. Crouch. "It's a very busy, very difficult time... I put young Wetherby in charge...he's very enthusiastic ...To be honest, it's a bit too high..."

"Well, why don't you at least come over for a drink before you go?" said Dumbledore.

"Come on, Barty, I'll stay here!" Bagman said happily, "All this finally happened in Hogwarts, right, this place is much more exciting and interesting than the office!"

"I disagree, Ludo," Crouch said, with his usual impatience in his tone.

"Professor Karkaroff - Madame Maxime - have a nightcap?" said Dumbledore.

However, Madam Maxim had put her arms around Fleur's shoulders and led her out of the room quickly.Karkaroff greeted Krum, and they left without a word.

"Harry, Cedric, I suggest you go back to bed." said Dumbledore, looking at them both with a smile. "I believe that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students are waiting to celebrate with you." Well. They finally got an excuse to make a big row, and it's too wrong to take this opportunity away from them."

Harry glanced at Cedric, who nodded, and they left the room together.Before Harry left, Qiubai glanced at Qiubai, and Qiubai gave him a cheering gesture, which finally made Harry smile a little.

Professor McGonagall said worriedly: "Dumbledore, who put Potter's name in it? What is his purpose? Potter is too young, I am very worried..."

"Minerva, he'll be all right. We're all protecting him, aren't we? What do you say, Alastor," said Dumbledore to Moody by the fire.

"Of course, Dumbledore. I'm here to protect Harry." "Moody" showed a creepy smile again, I don't know if it's a confident smile or a self-satisfied smile.

Qiubai thinks it is the latter, and the plan of "Moody" is progressing smoothly, which is enough for him to be proud.

"Come to my place for a drink, Alastor," said Dumbledore.

"No, I'll drink the bar I bring with me." Moody then reached into his cloak, pulled out a curved bottle, and took a swig.The cloak that had been dragged to the ground was pulled up, revealing several inches of carved wood prosthetic legs and a claw-shaped foot.

"Moody" limped past Qiubai and the others while drinking, and there was a faint and mysterious smell in the air that flashed from the tip of Qiubai's nose, before she could catch it, "Moody "It's already gone.

"A bonus? He's confident!" said Dumbledore.

"What are you talking about? Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall didn't quite understand.

"A brilliant confusion spell, Professor McGonagall." Qiubai said with a smile.

"This?" Professor McGonagall was puzzled.

"Karkaroff is right, Professor McGonagall, he has used a lot of brains on this matter, otherwise he would not be so clear about the method and details of the crime." Severus said.

"You...you mean...Professor Moody? But why? He's not...he's still..." Professor McGonagall couldn't believe it.

"A former Auror who caught many Death Eaters? A member of the Order of the Phoenix?" Qiubai raised his eyebrows, and Professor McGonagall looked at her in surprise, "But that's Alastor Moody, not this Moody Professor Di." Qiubai suddenly realized what she had just smelled, "He used Polyjuice Potion, Sev, I just smelled a little bit."

Severus frowned, "The Polyjuice Potion is only effective for one hour."

"That's why he's been pretending to drink. There's Polyjuice Potion in his flagon. If he's going to stay here all the time, there will be more and more demand for Polyjuice Potion." Qiubai said.

"Lacewings and woodsnakeskin..." Severus rolled his eyes, he thought his private storage room was about to suffer again, "what's his next idea? To keep drinking Polyjuice Potion , he has to make it a month in advance..."

"Oh, does that mean that Alastor is also at Hogwarts?" Dumbledore said.

"Yes, he needs Moody's constant supply of hair," Severus said.

"It shouldn't matter if you just lose a little hair." Qiubai tapped his chin and said, "I can only be sorry for Mr. Moody. The most important thing is Voldemort. Sev, you may have to relax the restrictions in your office. I'm afraid that fake Moody will enter No." Qiubai laughed, "Now it seems that the fake Moody's first goal is to get Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, and then get Harry to Voldemort's side in one of the events?"

"Oh! God! Voldemort! Dumbledore, how much more I don't know!" Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"That's all, Minerva." Dumbledore shrugged and said, "I'm just afraid you are too worried. In front of this Moody, please act as if you don't know anything."

"Of course I know, I'm not a fool." Professor McGonagall snorted and turned to leave.

"Professor McGonagall is your most trusted confidant, and you didn't tell her about it?" Qiubai looked at Professor McGonagall's back and said, "She must be very sad."

"A wise person should have reservations, Charles. She is tired enough, and I should lighten her burden. As for you, you always open my eyes with the highest efficiency." Dumbledore said.

"I hope you have no reservations about us, Dumbledore." Severus said in a deep voice.

"We're on a boat," Qiubai said.

"In this matter, I can assure you that I have no reservations, after all, most of the investigations are done by you." Dumbledore looked at Qiubai and Severus through the half-moon glasses, "Next It still depends on you, pay more attention to Harry, I will arrange someone for Moody."

"Siris?" Qiubai thought of Sirius who was missing today.

"Oh, no, he was indeed invited to watch the game as a sponsor, it's the decision of the Ministry of Magic. He should return to Hogwarts before the first game, this matter will not bother him ’ said Dumbledore.

"Troubled him before?" Qiu Bai raised his eyebrows.

"I don't think it counts? I'm not the one who troubled him." Dumbledore said with a smile, as if he had thought of something happy, "Speaking of which, I think you should help out with Sirius' work, If he learns that Harry is one of the champions."

Sirius will definitely explode, Qiubai thought.As for whether to explode with joy or fear, it depends on how Sirius views the Triwizard Tournament.Persuading Sirius should be put in the schedule, but Harry's explanation must also be put in front of his eyes.

Unexpectedly, before Qiubai went to find Harry, Harry came to the cellar office in the morning to look for Qiubai.When he knocked on the door, Qiubai just got up, and the sound of bells rang in the bedroom.Putting Harry in, he walked over to the sofa and sat down without saying a word, his head bowed in a very depressed mood.

Qiubai squatted in front of Harry, rubbing his messy black hair, "What's wrong? So unhappy."

"Mother Shire, can you believe it? I didn't put the name in," said Harry muffled, as if trying to hold back tears.

"Of course I do, Harry," said Qiubai.

"Really?" Harry's voice was trembling, "The whole of Hogwarts doesn't believe me, I thought Ron and the others would believe me at first, but Ron didn't, he doubted me. Hermione believed me, Just now she took me for a walk by the Black Lake, and suggested that I come and talk to you."

After a little analysis, Qiubai understood the general idea, "Ron is just temporarily jealous, he is eager to get everyone's attention for himself."

"That's what Hermione said."

"Most of the students only saw the glory of the tournament, Harry, and they forgot or didn't even notice what Dumbledore said about death. Ron, too, I'm sure when he understands the dangers of the tournament Sex, this little jealousy will be put aside."

"I know, Ron, he's not a bad guy. Mother Shire, I don't know who put my name in there."

"It's Voldemort's man, Harry. Don't be too surprised, I think you have a right to know about it. Voldemort brought about this Triwizard Tournament, and he's trying to be resurrected through it, though I don't know why, But he needs you, and during the match he will find a chance to revive and kill you. Are you afraid of such danger, Harry?"

"No... I'm afraid, Mama Shire. But it has to go through, doesn't it, since I was born, Voldemort has been trying to kill me. He killed my parents, and I must avenge them. Just let He comes to me, I am not afraid! I want to defeat him!"

Harry's voice became louder and louder, as if his pride was constantly pounding his chest. At this moment, he forgot how powerful Voldemort was.But the next moment he became depressed again, his eye circles were still red, "I don't know what competitions are there, I'm afraid that my current knowledge can't compete with these events, and I haven't learned enough."

"Don't be afraid, your professor and I will protect you. Trust us?"

Harry nodded. He saw Severus leaning against the door, and he murmured, "S...Professor Snape."

"Why, Potter is still a baby? Crying because of a little setback?" Severus always said the most concerned words in the most vicious tone to Harry, "I thought Gryffindor was brave enough, this take it."

Severus tossed Harry a bag of hemostats and pain relievers, as if he had decided that the event was bound to cause Harry to bleed.

Harry held the bag in his arms, "I'll do my best!" he said firmly.

After Harry left, Severus walked up to Qiubai, "Don't you need to remind him to be careful of fake Moody?"

"Not for now, Harry doesn't have the 'good acting skills' like Dumbledore and us, he is easy to startle the enemy." Qiubai said, "For the time being, he won't do anything to Harry. I have to find Lu today Talk to Do Bagman and get the game out of him."

"Why didn't you just ask Dumbledore?" Severus asked puzzled.

"By the way, ask Bagman to find out about Crouch." Qiubai was thinking wishfully, "Yesterday, Crouch was obviously under the Imperius Curse, so we have to bring Crouch into Hogwarts and let him see See if the fake Moody is Barty Jr."

"What can Bagman do?" Severus said dismissively.

"Anyway, he's a minister, so he can always do something." Qiu Bai pouted, "He always knows more about the affairs of the Ministry of Magic than I do."

Unfortunately, Qiubai couldn't find Bagman all day. He didn't know where he went. Except for the forbidden forest, Qiubai had already searched for Bagman, and there was no sign of Bagman anywhere.Taking advantage of the afterglow of dusk, Qiubai stepped into the Forbidden Forest, just in time for her to accompany Buckbeak for a while.

"Bane!" Qiubai shouted.

But Buckbeak didn't rush forward as excitedly as before. He stepped on his front paws restlessly, and kept turning around several trees with the other hippogriffs.This is a manifestation of their feeling of threat.

Qiu Bai went deep into the herd of hippogriffs and hugged Buckbeak's neck, "Bain, what's wrong? What happened here?"

【Xia, a very powerful and dangerous aura.It's nearby, very close to our territory. 】

"Isn't it from the Forbidden Forest? A powerful aura from outside?"

[Yes, today, today, many strangers came to the Forbidden Forest, and they brought horrible things with them.My group felt threatened, but Dumbledore greeted us again, saying that it was for the game and would not threaten us. 】

"Then you can rest assured that Dumbledore will not break his promise. He said he would not hurt you, and he really will not."

[But that breath is too terrifying. 】

"It's more terrifying than what Xiaobai gave you?"

[That's still a little scary for Xiaobai. 】

"Don't worry, I'll go and see what it is."

Qiubai patted Buckbeak on the head, and looked in the direction Buckbeak was looking at.
