Chapter 201
His sister Fleur was calling him from the shore. John was holding a silver sword and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"It's the warriors."
"They're hurt!"
"Dumbledore, what's going on!"
Everyone saw what happened in the middle of the lake, especially Karkaroff. He saw the blood on Krum's body and asked Dumbledore in shock and anger.
He completely forgot who kept delaying, causing him to almost miss the rescue opportunity.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, just as the effect of the gillyweed wore off, the gills on his body disappeared, and his hands and feet returned to normal.
The mermaids were fleeing, and when they left the lake, John did see the mermaids attacking the hostages.
The pattern on his shoes lit up, he stretched out his wings, and flew towards the mermaid at high speed.
Just as a mermaid with an extraordinary status wearing many bone fragments was about to leave, a silver sword was nailed into its palm.
John descended from the sky, stepped on the mermaid's waist, pulled out the Silver Wick and waved it to the side.
The ropes of Hermione and Gabrielle were broken.
The sword blade landed brightly on the neck of the mermaid leader, and John said coldly: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
The mermaid leader looked terrified.
"John!"
It was Dumbledore who stopped John from taking action.
John tilted his head and looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore shook his head seriously and said: "It is controlled."
The meaning is very clear, the mermaid leader is probably also being controlled, so let him go.
John smiled and said coldly: "Professor Dumbledore, it almost killed four students, especially two of my friends."
"John," Dumbledore took a deep breath and said seriously, "let it go and I will investigate."
The cold light on Silver Wake's sword flickered, and the lakes on both sides formed walls.
John was silent for a while, and finally removed the blade.
Ms. Maxim also came down. She brought Fleur to Gabrielle and stroked Gabrielle's head lovingly: "Poor child, thank you, John, for saving her."
Ms. Maxim thanked her aloud, and John shook his head. Looking into Fleur's eyes that were red from crying, he said to Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, I hope you can handle it well."
After that, John turned and left.
The mermaid leader was frightened, and Dumbledore asked about it.
It was indeed, as Dumbledore thought, that it was cursed.
A very profound confusion spell that even controlled it unconsciously.
It's memory was confused, and it was confused that Dumbledore made it attack the three powerful warriors.
Yesterday at the Black Lake, someone used mermaid language to attract the mermaids.
Dumbledore stepped in to help it recover, but it still completely remembered it.
This memory is very confusing.
The confusion spell confuses its memory.
John was dissatisfied with the result, but couldn't change it.
"Another confusion spell."
He thought of several recent incidents. The secret room of the Star Society was invaded and the Goblet of Fire was modified. They were all advanced confusion spells.
He didn't stay long and left the Black Lake.
Harry was not seriously injured, but Krum was seriously injured. In addition to his ankle, he also had multiple spear wounds on his body.
Hermione was also affected. There was a hole in her robe, which pierced her clothes. Fortunately, the robe was large and did not pierce her.
The two warriors did not come out at the end of this game, but because of their noble moral behavior in protecting the warriors underwater, they were still given high marks.
The final score was Cedric first, Harry second, and Krum and Fleur tied for third.
Because of Krum's poor performance in the first project, even if he got a higher score this time, he was still on par with Fleur.
The third project started on June 24.
However, the aftermath of this matter was not over.
The mermaid incident indicates that someone is causing trouble.
Dumbledore asked Moody to find out what happened.
The person who can control the mermaid village must be very powerful.
As an old Auror, Moody was more experienced in this matter.
So when he gave the task to Moody, there was basically no objection.
But John really didn't expect that Moody's first suspect was himself.
By the time he found out about this, all of Slytherin had been searched.
…
Moody swaggered to the Slytherin common room in the name of looking for suspicious persons.
"Come out, come out."
Moody stood in the lounge and called everyone out with a loud voice. Everyone in Slytherin looked bad.
But Moody seemed invisible and muttered: "Now I am going to search for you. Don't think about what you may be hiding. I know you. Half of the Death Eaters I captured are from Slytherin." ."
Malfoy couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "This is a very serious accusation."
"Accusation?" Moody walked up to Malfoy, his magic eye rolling around, and roared: "Don't think I don't know, you are just like your father Lucius, a dirty, despicable guy. !”
"You are not allowed to insult my father!"
Malfoy's eyes turned red. He had always used his father as a role model and couldn't stand such an insult from Moody.
Moody grabbed his collar and pushed him away: "I know, I know you, everyone stand up now, I'm going to search."
He almost said that everyone in Slytherin was a future Death Eater, which made the Slytherin students look bad.
Malfoy clenched his fists and his knuckles turned white. His eyes were full of anger and he roared: "You don't have this power!"
Moody's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said in Malfoy's ear: "Don't think that I don't know that your father is a Death Eater. Dumbledore also knows that, so he never believes in Slytherin, do you know?"
Malfoy's breath hitched, and Moody had already pushed open a dormitory to search.
Moody had Dumbledore's password and they couldn't stop it.
When the dormitories were entered and searched, they felt unprecedented humiliation.
When he wanted to go to the last room, Malfoy couldn't bear it and cursed: "Get out, that's John's room!"
"Yes, yes, I know him, so his suspicion is the biggest, right?"
Moody didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but the next second, a red light passed by his side.
This time, he finally reacted.
Turning around, he saw Malfoy holding the wand in his hand. Moody gritted his back teeth and said, "Do you know what you are doing, kid?"
"If you don't get out of there." Malfoy's actions made the others react. They looked at Moody in silence and stood behind Malfoy.
Moody sneered, "I'll tell Dumbledore everything."
He didn't go in, turned around and left the lounge.
And all this silenced the Slytherins.
They all know the seriousness of this matter.
Suddenly, someone said: "Dumbledore never trusted us."
The student had a look of humiliation on his face, and his words resonated with everyone.
"We should have known from the beginning." Malfoy gritted his teeth and said, "He has always only favored Gryffindor!"
"As soon as something happened, suspicion would be cast on us."
"I'm going to tell my dad."
There were some Slytherins who wanted to maintain their opinions, but when they learned that out of the four houses, only Slytherins were searched, they were equally angry.
When John came out of the secret room of the Star Society, he knew all this.
Even John couldn't help but be angry.
"Dumbledore is no fool, I think he knows what to do."
There was no smile on John's face in the current excitement.
"Moody is targeting us, why?" He couldn't understand how an old Auror could be so confused.
Malfoy said with humiliation: "What else? He looks down on us. Don't forget, he has been protecting the Gryffindors from the beginning to the end."
"Whether it's Potter or Weasley."
John's face darkened and he said calmly: "I will tell Professor Snape."
He wanted to see how Snape, who was Dumbledore's die-hard loyalist, would react.
As John made his way to Snape's office, he was stopped.
It's Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall looked complicated and said, "Wick, I need you to go to the principal's office with me."
"There are some things I hope you can explain."
John's heart sank and he nodded in agreement.
He left with Professor McGonagall, and other students saw this scene and started talking about it.
…
Chapter 226 The secret room was discovered and the anonymous wand
John was taken to the principal's office, where a battle array had been set up.
Dumbledore, Snape, Moody.
Trial by three courts.
On the table in front of Dumbledore was a wand.
Snape looked very unhappy, and Moody watched John come over quietly with his cane in his hand.
As if they had just discussed something, Dumbledore just came to his senses and smiled at John.
"Professor Dumbledore, why did you call me here?"
John glanced at the wand, but he didn't care.
Not my own anyway.
He thought, but made a mistake.
Because Dumbledore picked up the wand and asked: "John, is this wand yours?"
John was stunned, frowned and denied, "Professor Dumbledore, that's not my wand."
After saying that, John took out his wand and indicated that he had it with him.
After hearing this, Snape said to Moody in a strange tone: "It seems that you made a mistake in your investigation."
"I can't make mistakes!" Moody responded angrily.
His magic eye moved, and Dumbledore stopped the two men from arguing for the second time.
Dumbledore's eyes hidden behind his half-moon lenses looked at John. John met his eyes and felt like something was being drilled into his mind.
