Chapter 255 End of May
Saturday, April 5.
Harry received a letter from Sirius.
In the letter, Sirius severely criticized Harry for going to the Forbidden Forest with Schelling alone. He believed that there were some very dangerous characters in Hogwarts trying to prevent Crouch from meeting Dumbledore.
In fact, Dumbledore was already on high alert the moment Harry's name was thrown into the Goblet of Fire.In order to successfully put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, one needs to deceive the Goblet of Fire's own magical consciousness and one's own age line of defense. It requires a very powerful wizard to plan carefully. In theory, it is difficult for underage wizards to do this.
So at this time Dumbledore realized that there were very dangerous characters lurking in Hogwarts, and they must be adult wizards who had been extra due to the Triwizard Tournament. This has narrowed the scope down to several visiting Ministry of Magic officials and two principals, including Igor Karkaroff, Olim Maxim, Ludovic Bagman, and Barty Crouch Sr.
Ms. Maxime was the most suspicious person in the Ministry of Magic, because she was a half-blood giant, but Dumbledore himself was not a racist person, and he also sent Hagrid, a big stupid man, to deliberately approach her and monitor her. Of course, Hagrid, a straight man who only likes to raise monsters, suddenly had an inexplicable liking for her, which was out of his control.
In any case, the suspicion of Ms. Maxim can be ruled out.
Karkaroff was once a real Death Eater who was hammered. He betrayed a large number of Death Eaters after Voldemort fell to save himself. He is a complete villain.According to Snape's information, he was terrified of Voldemort's return, because he would be severely punished as a traitor.Although he doesn't seem like the kind who has a motive to kill Harry, if he knows that Voldemort is about to return, it doesn't make sense for him to kill Harry himself to atone for his sin.
So he was the first object of Dumbledore's suspicion.
Bagman was once accused of being a Death Eater, but played a fool during the interrogation and got away with his star popularity.He is not really such a silly character as he appears on the surface. He is very good at disguising himself, using this silly image and the popularity of the star to seek his own benefits.In the original book, Rita Skeeter once said "he is an old hand at lying", and said such a meaningful sentence to Hermione——
"You silly little girl, don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand. I know something about Ludo Bagman, enough to make your hair curl—"
In Dumbledore's view, Bagman was no less suspicious than Karkaroff.Jorkins was a subordinate of his department, who had been missing for so long in Albania, and Bagman didn't care at all.Then, Bagman is one of the few people who knows all the items of the Triwizard Tournament (to be fair, the three principals should not know).Bagman was so happy when Harry became the fourth warrior, how could he not realize how dangerous the Triwizard Tournament was for a 14-year-old boy.
In Dumbledore's mind, Bagman was probably the second object of suspicion.
Old Barty Crouch was originally a very upright person who hated the black arts, but his suspicion was also that he was too abnormal.He was originally a workaholic, but it turned out that he went to work less and less during this time, and took vacations at home every day. It felt like he was secretly plotting and carrying out some unknown plan.
Dumbledore, who is well versed in people's hearts, did not dare to rule out the possibility of old Barty's blackening. After all, he was an anti-black pioneer and lost the election for the Minister of Magic.Then his wife and son died, and the family became a mess. It would not be unreasonable to say that these experiences made his dark side explode.
It can't be blamed that Dumbledore didn't think that Mad-Eye Moody was pretending. It's really that these three people are too suspicious.
Sirius, like Dumbledore, was also the most suspicious of these three people.He believed that the ultimate goal of the man behind the scenes was to kill Harry.
So, after reprimanding Harry severely in the first paragraph of the letter, he asked Harry in the second paragraph of the letter to stay with Ron and Hermione all the time, not to leave the Gryffindor Tower after school, to prepare well for the third project, to practice the Stunning Spell and the Disarming Spell, even learning one or two poisonous spells would not hurt.
In the next few days, Harry either searched the library for poisonous spells with Hermione and Ron, or sneaked into empty classrooms with them to practice.Harry concentrated on practicing the Stunning Charm, a spell he had never used before.It was Ron and Hermione who had to make some sacrifices.
Ron was very loyal. During the sparring process, he had to be stunned and woken up by Harry at least five times a day. Although he had arranged a mat behind him in advance, sometimes he couldn't fall on the mat accurately when he was unconscious.
Yes, he did complain a few words, asking Harry to find a house-elf, or kidnap Mrs. Norris to replace him, but at least he actually practiced with Harry.
When Hermione criticized Ron for not always falling on the mat, Ron couldn't help but exploded——
"It's impossible to aim that well after being knocked out, Hermione!" said Ron angrily. "Why don't you try it yourself?"
Hermione stuck out her tongue, and quickly changed the subject: "Oh, I think Harry has already mastered the Stunning Curse. Don't worry about the Disarming Curse, he will use it long ago. I think we should practice some poison spells tonight. I think the Impeding Charm is good, it can intercept anything that tries to attack you. Harry, let's start with this."
Ron: "..."
While the Harry trio was busy preparing for the third project, Schelling was not idle here.
Xie Lin's Sleeping Dragon Club is already on the right track. After he made a new magic wand for Susan, the six girls he trusted the most have each found their way to become stronger.
As for the intelligence network, after drinking the new and improved version of the "Buffy Brain Booster" given by Schelling, Dobby's intelligence greatly increased and his work became more effective.After he added two new subordinates, Duda and Benben, Dobby already has five house elves under his command, which is more than enough to support the information delivery and transfer of the current scale of the intelligence network.
Therefore, Xie Lin can finally calm down and study his own magic——
The main ones are the "Phantom Clone" passed on secretly by the Zhang family, and the "Flying Without Weapons" given to him by Snape.
The days passed in such an uneventful time until June 6th.
Schelling celebrated his 15th birthday.
On this day, not only did he successfully advance to the level of "Junior Auror" (because his age reached the threshold), he also finally practiced "Phantom Clone" and "Flying Without Weapons" through the accumulation of hard work in the past few days.
In other words, if he uses the snake-shaped ring to share the magic power of Sarf, he will most likely step into the level of a "quasi-magician"!
["Phantom Clone" acquisition! 】
["Flying without a weapon" has been acquired! 】
Dumbledore suspects that Karkaroff, Bagman, and Crouch are official establishments. The last time Harry saw Dumbledore before the last project, the memory of these three people in Dumbledore's pensive is the best evidence.
