Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 275 Three goals of pure-blood families

"You know?"

Avada was even more surprised - Dumbledore really just watched his old friend being locked in a box and suffering?

Or did he make an appointment with Moody to trick Barty Jr. and play a big game secretly? But in this case, Moody's life would always be in the hands of Barty Crouch Jr., a very vicious and powerful Death Eater, so wouldn't they be afraid of any accidents?

"I usually know more than outsiders think."

Dumbledore smiled calmly: "For example, I know that the sudden resumption of the Triwizard Tournament is essentially a conspiracy; I know that those werewolves last year targeted a large number of children of officials from the Department of Magical Sports and the Department of International Exchange and Cooperation. The purpose is to secretly promote the smooth start of this year's Triwizard Tournament; at the same time, I also know that our Hogwarts should have hosted this tournament originally, but it was changed to Germany under the so-called 'strong request' Armstrong, the reason is quite far-fetched..."

"…You know too much."

"So, don't underestimate the wisdom of the elderly."

He stroked his beard and leaned back in his chair: "So now can you calm down for a while and listen to what I, an old man, have to say?"

"Okay, Professor...you tell me."

"Then, let's start with the origin of this Triwizard Tournament."

Dumbledore leaned forward again, making him look serious again: "This competition can be said to be another attempt by the pure-blood families who were defeated by us before. The werewolf attacks that messed up the entire magical society, as well as the social unrest caused after the incident was exposed...the fundamental purpose is to provide cover for the secret activities of pure-blood families."

"I have to admit that they really deceived me at that time - mainly because the people I sent there had not yet penetrated into the pure-blood family and could not get too in-depth information..."

"You planted spies within the pureblood family?"

Avada was very clever and praised him.

"By an extremely random coincidence."

Recalling this incident, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh: "Last year, a person came to me - he had an undoubted identity among the Death Eaters, and his own disguise and eavesdropping abilities were also It's amazing... and the most important thing is that he offered to be my spy, and he swore an oath to do so... But his own story is really sad, so let's skip it for now. You just All you need to know is that there is such a number one person.”

"What are you talking about - by the way, it was a werewolf attack. Under the cover of that incident, those pure-blood families seemed to have discovered something extraordinary during the investigation, and that's how the current three-person gang came about. The establishment of the Triwizard Tournament was promoted. From leading werewolf attacks to promoting the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament, their various actions in the past year are currently known to have a total of three purposes."

"Three?"

Avada repeated in half applause and half genuine surprise.

"Yes, their calculations are very precise."

Dumbledore seemed to snort coldly: "First, it was to rescue a companion who was almost as unexpected as my spy, a veteran Death Eater named Barty Crouch Jr."

‘It seems that this purpose has been achieved. ’

Avada nodded.

"That person was always thought to have died in Azkaban by the outside world. It was not until last year that the pure-blood family found out through unknown channels that he was not in Azkaban at all, but was secretly imprisoned in Azkaban. Somewhere outside the class. And they probably want to get such a chess piece that is beyond everyone's expectations and can work wonders at critical moments, just like me, so the mission of rescuing him is included in the purebloods' schedule. .”

Dumbledore did not mention the bad entanglements he had with his father, Barty Sr., but quickly jumped to the second topic after briefly explaining the situation: "And their second purpose - —Taking someone away from Hogwarts without me."

"Take someone away?"

Avada frowned: "Just such a simple sentence?"

"Unfortunately, that's what it is."

Dumbledore also looked a little helpless: "The core members of the pure-blood family are very strict about this matter. Even the executor of this plan has not yet learned who the target is. Only when the pure-blood family reaches the The family will inform them at short notice when they think it is time to take action..."

"Do you have any guesses, Professor?"

Avada is also in trouble - he hates this kind of information that has no beginning or end. It is both impossible to prevent and more troublesome.

"It's hard to get it right."

Dumbledore shook his head, but his expression was not very depressed: "The conditions are too vague and the scope is too large, and it is impossible for me to know everyone's secrets in the school... But to be honest, I'm not worried about their plan being successful."

"After all, I have figured out how they carried out this plan - through the fake Moody you discovered. As long as fake Moody is under control or surveillance, this mission will not be possible."

"Then why don't you just control Fake Moody?"

Avada was even more surprised: "Since it has been confirmed that he is a person sent by a pure-blood family, and he wants to kidnap members of Hogwarts, then just send him to the Wizengamot for trial? This way, he can also be repaid. If you can expose a pure-blood family's plan, their reputation may be completely destroyed..."

"A very smart idea."

Dumbledore said predictably: "So there must be a deeper reason why I didn't choose to do this. And that reason is the third purpose of the pure-blood families' plan..."

"Kill me."

"?!"

Avada couldn't control her expression, letting her surprise show undisguisedly on her face, and she almost jumped out of her chair.

"Kill you?"

He hesitated for a long time before he managed to say a sentence: "This... are you kidding, or is the core of the pure-blood family finally unable to bear the pressure and going crazy?"

"I'm not kidding, and according to the intelligence sent back, the top officials of the pure-blood families are not crazy either."

Dumbledore said seriously: "This is why I dare not bring the matter to light now - since they have the confidence to kill me, it means that they will definitely come up with corresponding means. And said To put it bluntly, if something can threaten my life, it means that it is powerful enough to harm the entire magical society... I cannot leave that kind of thing alone."

"So, I accepted the Triwizard Tournament without any objection, and even agreed to let Durmstrang become the organizer. The most important purpose was to find out what could threaten me, and then make every effort to eliminate it. Control or eliminate it.”
