Chapter 198 Conquering Egg
"Now do you know?" The corners of Schelling's mouth raised, "Harry has always been under Dumbledore's protection, whether at Hogwarts or at his Muggle relative's house, he is protected by powerful protective magic. If you want to catch Potter, the Triwizard Tournament is the best chance!"
"That's it! That's it!" No matter how stupid Karkaroff was, he had already figured out Voldemort's overall plan at this moment, "That's why Dumbledore hired old Moody to be a professor, that's why Potter was chosen as the hero in the competition, and that's why old Moody reacted so badly when Potter was chosen as the hero...I finally understand..."
"We must prevent Potter from participating in the competition! Go! We must tell Dumbledore about it!" Karkaroff said anxiously.
"It's not that easy..." Snape shook his head. "The Goblet of Fire is attached to the contract magic that existed centuries ago. It is extremely powerful. Once you are selected as a warrior, you are not allowed to retreat halfway. You must participate in all competitions until the end."
"Then, what should we do? Let that person succeed in his plot?" Karkaroff was a little panicked. He finally found out the key point, but he couldn't stop it, which made him feel very powerless.
Snape fell silent and turned his gaze to Schelling.
"So——" Schelling smiled, full of absolute confidence, "Didn't I also participate in the competition? Do you think Porter has a chance?"
"Hogwarts prohibits apparitions, and the Floo network also needs the principal's prior permission to connect to the Floo network." Schelling talked eloquently, "So, unless the mysterious person sends someone to attack Hogwarts, otherwise, there is only one way to transport Harry out of Hogwarts—"
"Portkey!"
Karkaroff nodded first, and then shook his head again, "You're not right. The casting of the Portkey Charm is supervised by the Ministry of Magic, and it's fine in other places. In a heavily guarded place like Hogwarts, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to make omissions."
Schelling nodded, "You are right. It is indeed impossible to cast the Portkey Curse at Hogwarts, but when did I say that the Portkey Curse needs to be cast?"
Karkaroff thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case. The Portkey Curse was made up in his own brain, and he immediately showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. In front of this overly powerful young man, he felt that his IQ was really not enough. Although he didn't say it, he had already convinced Xie Lin in his heart, and faintly admired it.
"As far as I know, every Triwizard Tournament the first two events are different, but the last event is always the same, right?" Schelling asked.
Snape and Karkaroff looked at each other and nodded slowly.
"Then I can safely assume that this year will be no exception. The last event must be for the warriors to go through a maze, enter the finish line, and touch the Goblet of Fire placed there—" Xie Lin's eyes shone brightly. "The person who touches the Goblet of Fire will be directly sent to the referee's seat, and the referees will declare his victory!"
"That is to say, the Goblet of Fire itself is a Portkey—" Xie Lin smiled like a fox, "That person's subordinates, no matter who they are, just need to cast a confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire, and change the destination of the teleportation to the place where the mysterious person is. There is no need to cast the Portkey Curse at all!"
What Schelling didn't say was that, according to the development in the original book, the man's magical power didn't seem to be enough to completely change the destination of the Portkey Charm. He could only add a program of teleporting to Little Hangleton's graveyard before sending to the referee's seat. The command to send to the referee's seat was not replaced or eliminated, but was removed as the destination of the second command.This is why the second time Harry touched the Goblet of Fire, he was teleported back to Hogwarts and escaped death.It also explained why Harry was not teleported back to the center of the maze, but in front of the referee's seat and audience seats.
Karkaroff and Snape both gasped, impressed by Schelling's extremely precise deduction.Who are these people? Compared with Xie Lin, the two feel that they have lived for nothing for so many years.
Xie Lin's deduction is very thorough, and there is no flaw at all.
The reason behind Porter's participation in the Triwizard Tournament was perfectly explained, and according to Moody's inference, the Goblet of Fire was cast by a powerful confusion spell, mistaking Porter for a warrior from the fourth magic school and the only applicant of the school, which ensured that Porter would definitely be selected to participate in the competition.
Since that person's subordinates were able to use the Confusion Curse to affect the Goblet of Fire once when signing up, it would make sense that he could use the same method to affect the Goblet of Fire a second time.
Snape and Karkaroff fell silent. They were trying to digest what Schelling said, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.
After a while, Snape said slowly, "Schelling, do you know who is the person who put Potter's name in the Goblet of Fire?"
Schelling shrugged, "I don't know, but I know..." Schelling smiled maliciously, "Dumbledore and Moody must be suspecting you, Professor Karkaroff."
"It's wrong! It's really not me!" Karkaroff finally realized what kind of trouble he was in. He said anxiously, "Severus, you trust me, right? You know it's not mine, right? You must help me!"
Snape pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he said, "Veritaserum and Legilimency have little effect on wizards of your level and mine, but at the same time they have lost the ability to prove your innocence. I will try my best to talk to Dumbledore, but you'd better prepare for the worst as soon as possible."
"Worst plan?" Karkaroff's face was completely pale, and he lost half of his blood. "You mean to let me escape? Where can I escape?"
Snape cast his eyes on Schelling, and the meaning was self-evident.
Xie Lin laughed secretly in his heart, as expected of an old bat, he really knows how to behave, and he knew it was going to be an assist so quickly.
"Professor Karkaroff," Schelling's eyes glowed with confidence, "If you think my ability is not bad, how about serving me? I can guarantee your personal safety."
Karkaroff finally understood why Schelling stayed here today and talked so much with them.
There was a bit of bitterness in his heart, but he also knew that he had no better choice.To be honest, he was quite envious of Snape, who hugged the big tree of Dumbledore without worrying about his own safety.
And he himself, on the surface, is the headmaster of a famous magic school, with a great reputation, but in fact, the school directors and professors don't treat him very much. Although the students are afraid of him, they have no awe of him. If something happens to him, the support he can get from Durmstrang may be close to zero.
What he didn't know was that Snape had already belonged to Schelling.
