Chapter 1004: The Demonic Eye Peeping Monster

Chapter 1004: Demon Eyes Peeping Monster

Judging from Karkaroff's extremely panicked expression, the place he went with Krum in the early morning of the day before yesterday could only be where the fire dragon was, the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone looked at him with questioning eyes, causing the veins near his temple to throb like a struggling centipede.

"Moody! You crazy-eyed old vulture!" Karkaroff's voice was particularly high-pitched, several degrees higher than Umbridge's.

He screamed hysterically, "What's wrong with Viktor and I going to check on the dragon?"

He glanced at the two headmasters beside him, "Don't mention me. Which warrior from Beauxbatons and Hogwarts hasn't secretly seen the dragon?"

Dumbledore and Madame Maxime chose to avoid his extremely angry gaze.

Cheating has always been a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament. For the final Triwizard Cup, the principal and professors will definitely do everything they can to help their warriors.

I just wanted to go and see the dragon, not to exploit loopholes in the rules like Draco did and secretly bring magic props onto the field.

However, Karkaroff's words could not convince everyone.

Especially Moody who had been secretly monitoring him, "Well, since you said I was wrongly accusing you, then you should produce evidence to prove your innocence."

Karkaroff laughed shrilly, subconsciously covering his left and right arms that were being stared at by the evil eye. "Evidence? You said you had evidence 13 years ago. I have already confessed all the people I know, but you still refuse to believe me?"

The commotion at the castle gate attracted the attention of many students.

Dumbledore looked up at an open window on the second floor.

If he saw it correctly, there seemed to be two sneaky figures retreating back by the window.

He picked up the Elder Wand and waved it, causing an invisible magical barrier to shroud the surroundings.

Facing Karkaroff's question, Moody snorted, "It is precisely because I know you well enough that I don't believe that you just went to see the dragon."

Karkaroff rushed over to him and spat at the steps to the left of the castle entrance, "Legendary Auror? Ha - think about it with your rusty and rotten brain!

Viktor is my most valued student. If I curse a dragon, I will tell him not to use spells against them!"

According to normal people's logic, he would not harm his own warriors.

But Moody is not only good at dealing with all kinds of black magic and curses, but also good at looking at problems from the perspective of dark wizards.

"Harry Potter."

When Moody whispered the name, Karkaroff shuddered as if remembering something terrible.

The Dark Mark on his left arm can be removed, but the identity of a former Death Eater is destined to follow him for the rest of his life.

What does it matter if he sacrifices his most valued student in order to kill the savior?

Karkaroff's face was pale and cold sweat ran down his carefully trimmed temples.

He raised his hand tremblingly and wiped his temples with the sleeve embroidered with the dire wolf totem, and said word by word: "I no longer have any relationship with that group of people!"

Although he had no way to eliminate his suspicion, there was no direct evidence that he was the one who cursed the dragon.

At this extremely tense and depressing moment, Dumbledore glanced at the door behind Moody as if he had discovered something interesting.

His eyes fixed on the steps on the left, then looked down, looking at the spit that Karkaroff had just spat with interest.

The magic barriers set up around it can effectively block prying eyes from the outside world, but the outside world can be clearly seen from the inside.

Being able to deceive everyone present, even Moody's magic eyes, this little guy's magic level has improved a lot.

"Albus?" Fudge followed his gaze. "Did you notice anything?"

Dumbledore put away the corner of his mouth that was slightly raised, "No, Cornelius, ever since I got older, I always get distracted accidentally."

"Oh?" Fudge was a little surprised. "Just now in the live broadcast, we saw you tame the fire dragon in just a few moves."

Dumbledore blinked, looked at Karkaroff's trembling back, and signaled him as the minister to make a decision as soon as possible.

Moody's evidence could not directly prove that Karkaroff was the one who cursed the dragon, but it did prove that he was the biggest suspect.

Karkaroff could neither rule out his own motives nor prove that he and Krum simply went to see the dragon.

To arrest? Or not to arrest?

Fudge looked back and forth between Moody and Karkaroff with a confused look on his face.

Everyone's arguments made sense, but if the wrong person was arrested, the identity of the headmaster of Durmstrang would be enough to cause a serious diplomatic incident.

Accidents occurred frequently during the Triwizard Tournament. If good people were wrongly accused again, the British Ministry of Magic, which already had little face, would be completely lost.

With the consequences so grave, it’s obvious what decision a smart person should make.

Fudge came between Moody and Karkaroff with a smile on his face, "Calm down first, there are still many things we need to figure out."

Moody seemed to know what decision he would make. "Fudge, Karkaroff is the biggest suspect right now. Even if you don't arrest him, you should have someone closely monitor his every move."

Speaking of surveillance, Karkaroff exploded again, "Mystic Eye Peeper! I haven't settled the score with you for spying on me before!"

The Eye of the Demon...

This insulting nickname immediately ignited Moody.

If Fudge hadn't blocked his way, Karkaroff would have had no chance of standing.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Calm down, Alastor, calm down..."

With everyone's efforts, Moody finally calmed down.

Karkaroff also paid the price for his impulsive words. During his stay in the UK, he will be watched by countless eyes of the Ministry of Magic until he leaves or is completely cleared of suspicion.

"Hmph!" Karkaroff's face was gloomy, and he glared at Moody who was blocking him from entering the castle. "Get out of here, I want to visit Viktor."

Moody dropped his hands and followed closely behind him.

Madame Maxime, who had not expressed her opinion, also walked into the castle.

Furong's injuries were serious, so she also had to go to the school hospital to visit.

Fudge and Dumbledore had a brief chat and then left with the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

There is a serious shortage of staff in the department now, and they have to hold a meeting to study where to squeeze people out to monitor Karkaroff.

When they were far away, Dumbledore walked towards the left steps of the castle gate with a smile.

He spoke to himself into the air: "This is very advanced magic. Did my old friend teach you this?"

The seemingly empty stairs suddenly shattered like a mirror, revealing Vincent and Hermione hiding inside.

"Professor, you have a keen eye. You discovered that we were hiding here at a glance."

Faced with the grinning Vincent, Dumbledore could only shake his head helplessly.

"Mr. Wayne, Miss Granger, please come with me to the principal's office. I have something to ask you."

Vincent gave Hermione a reassuring look.

The fact that Dumbledore did not expose them on the spot proved that he would not pursue the matter of eavesdropping too much. As for what he wanted to ask, only he himself knew.
