Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme

Chapter 215 Conspiracy

Brian sat by the lake and looked at the sparkling water quietly.

The students were busy taking exams and it was very quiet by the lake. A giant squid stretches its tentacles lazily in the depths, as if basking in the sun.

There were sounds of laughter and talking in the distance. Those were the warriors and their relatives, who were visiting Hogwarts and gradually walked away.

Brian took out the Marauder's Map and looked at the names on it. At this time, except for the warriors, the students were busy taking exams, and the professors were also busy proctoring the exams. There were only a few ghosts floating around in the castle boredly. .

Not finding anything unusual, Brian put the Marauder's Map aside and lay down on the lawn.

Time gradually passed, and a noisy sound came from the other side of the venue. It was the senior students who were taking the Care of Magical Creatures exam. Hagrid's voice was particularly loud, and he was asking the students to play with some sea urchin-like fish that were covered with hard spines. Fantastic Beasts.

Brian stood up and watched for a while. The senior students were fiddling with them hurriedly. From time to time, someone screamed because their hands were pricked. The worst thing was that an unlucky guy was jumped on the head by a "sea urchin" and sat down in panic. Entering a basin full of sea urchins, the scene was chaotic.

Soon, this farce-like exam ended, and calm returned to the venue again.

Brian picked up the Marauder's Map and looked at it again, then took out a book and read it.

On the way, several more groups of people passed by, and he also saw Harry and Cedric and their relatives walking along the lawn by the lake and saying hello to Brian.

As the sky gradually darkened, Brian finally saw the information he wanted to see on the Marauder's Map.

He packed up his things and headed to the Quidditch pitch. There are now several people guarding the door here to prevent any warriors from sneaking in early. Brian waited for a while under the shade of a tree nearby and saw Moody limping over, holding the wooden box containing the Triwizard Cup in his hand, and walked into the stadium.

Brian did not follow, but turned around and walked towards the castle, leaning against a corridor invisibly.

He didn't wait long. Soon, he heard Moody's "tapping" footsteps. Brian played with the wand in his hand, making himself more silent and using Occlumency to contain all his thoughts.

Facing a legendary Auror who has experienced hundreds of battles, no matter how cautious you are, it is necessary.

As dinner time approached, the corridor became increasingly deserted. Moody slowly passed by Brian. His magic eye moved around, but failed to see through Brian's invisibility.

Knowing the power of the magic eye, Brian would naturally be on guard. Not to mention that his current level of magic spell had reached the master level. He also made a special alchemy item to isolate detection magic.

"Collapse!" Brian recited the magic spell in his mind without shouting out. Even with Moody's vigilance, he did not expect that an attack would suddenly appear around him.

The red sparks hit Moody's forehead. He closed his eyes and passed out instantly.

Brian cast a disillusionment spell on him and dragged him to a remote classroom.

"Then, let me see what you have planned." Brian looked at the unconscious Moody with a half-smile, and the blue magic eye was still spinning around.

"Legilimency." Brian pointed his wand at Moody's head and whispered the spell.

Although his current Legilimency level cannot allow him to do whatever he wants like mind reading, it is still very simple to recite a spell to view other people's memories. Even if Moody knew Occlumency, it would still be no match for Brian's brutal incantation.

Brian searched Moody's memory. He must know the plans of Voldemort and Crouch Jr. If they were plotting something, Brian had to know about it.

"He was indeed controlled by Voldemort using the Imperius Curse. Voldemort had been staying at Crouch's house, and Crouch Jr. was also there..." Brian searched for these memories, "There is no problem. Crouch Jr. is very afraid of me. , so instead of coming to Hogwarts to take risks in person, he dressed up as Mr. Crouch to supervise the progress of the Triwizard Tournament..."

"This time, Moody turned the Goblet of Fire into a portkey. He will patrol outside the maze wall, help drive away some obstacles, and knock out other warriors..." Brian frowned, "There seems to be no problem?"

"No, he didn't make any other preparations?" Brian searched Moody's memory, "Huh? He didn't recite the Imperius Curse for other warriors? Once the other team wins first place..."

"Besides, how are they going to guard against me?" Brian thought, "Although there is an unbreakable oath, Voldemort will always guard against me... So, the specific arrangements will be with Crouch Jr.? "

Brian exited the Legilimency state and muttered: "It seems that Moody has been given up by them. When the time comes, Dumbledore will catch him and ask him to turn me out and cause me some trouble..."

"Although Dumbledore will know about this sooner or later, it is better for me to tell him personally..."

"Then..." Brian pointed his wand at Moody, "Forget everything!"

He altered Moody's memory to make his impression of Brian less intense. Later, in Moody's eyes, Brian was just a very talented student.

After doing this, Brian woke up Moody and watched him walk out of the classroom in a daze, return to the previous corridor, and walk towards the auditorium. Soon, he regained consciousness, his magic eyes rolled around, his expression alert and serious.

Brian smiled and slowly walked into the auditorium.

At this time, the auditorium was gradually filled with people. Mr. and Mrs. Foley sat next to the Slytherin table and waved to Brian.

At the teacher's bench, all the professors and referees were already sitting there. Moody didn't look unusual, and Dumbledore kept smiling.

Ludo Bagman seemed very happy, and the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge also came. He sat next to Ms. Maxim, with a sullen face and said nothing. Ms. Maxim buried her head and her eyes looked a little red. Hagrid, who was sitting at the other end of the table, always looked towards her.

Brian paid special attention to Mr. Crouch. He was wearing a meticulous black suit, his hair and beard were neatly trimmed, but he looked like he had thick dark circles under his eyes and his face was a little pale.

The dinner began. The food was much richer than usual, but the warriors seemed a little restless and didn't eat much.

When the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to dark purple dusk, Dumbledore stood up and everyone in the auditorium fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to go to the Quidditch pitch to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said, "Now, warriors, please come with Mr. Bagman. Get on the sports field.”

The warriors stood up and left together, and all the students applauded them.

"Good luck, Brian." Daphne crossed her hands on her chest and twisted her fingers tightly.

"Come on!" Several friends gave him a thumbs up.

The warriors walked out of the auditorium together and slowly walked down the steps. Bagman looked very enthusiastic and asked: "How are you, do you feel okay?" He looked at Brian, Cedric and Harry eagerly.

"Pretty good," Harry said.

"Well, you know..." Bagman said in a low voice, "Well, as long as one person picks up the Goblet of Fire first, you will win, right? The strong ones can completely block the warriors of other teams. , buy time for a teammate..."

"What's wrong?" Cedric asked confused.

"Haha, it's nothing, I'm just telling you the rules." Bagman said haha, "Well, this has nothing to do with the final selection of the best warrior... It is based on your overall performance in the game." He also hinted He added a full sentence, and then took the lead and strode forward.

Brian looked at Bagman's back and raised his eyebrows. He felt that Bagman's bet was probably that the Hogwarts Warriors would win the championship, and Harry would be the first to get the Goblet of Fire... Such a bet.

Otherwise, it might be difficult for him to pay off the debt he incurred during the Quidditch World Cup.

Brian shook his head and ignored Bagman.

He observed the warriors around him, guessing who was being controlled by Crouch Jr.

"Or maybe Cedric." Brian glanced at Cedric who pursed his lips tightly.

They walked into the Quidditch pitch. A twenty-foot-high hedge surrounded the edge of the field. The gap in front was the entrance to the maze. The passage inside was dark and scary.

Five minutes later, hundreds of students filed into their seats, noisy and excited.

Hagrid, Moody, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick entered the stadium and walked towards them, wearing hats with bright red stars on them. They will patrol the outside of the maze.

"If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, just shoot red sparks into the sky and someone will come to help you. Do you understand?" Bagman said.

The warriors nodded together and divided into three teams to stand aside.

The referees also entered the field. They sat at the front of the stands and talked to each other so that they could be heard clearly. Brian noticed that Mr. Crouch was chatting with Fudge, looking very normal.

"To be honest, this game was really good. If the Daily Prophet hadn't always caused trouble for me..." Fudge sighed.

"I just want it to end soon, I still have a lot of work to deal with..." Mr. Crouch was a little impatient. His eyes were wide open and he looked straight at the huge maze in front of him, his expression looking very strange.

"Although I let Weatherby handle most of the paperwork,..." he told Fudge.

Brian raised his head suddenly, staring at Mr. Crouch with his eyes fixed on him, and did not listen to what was said next.

"He called Percy Weasley by the wrong name..." Brian suddenly realized, "He is the real Mr. Crouch!"

So where is Barty Crouch Jr. now?
