In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 311 309. Why did I participate in the Triwizard Tournament?

Jon just saw the title of this news, and he couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for the person who wrote this article.

If nothing else, just calling Dumbledore "Dark Wizard" is not something that ordinary shameless people can write.

Continuing to look down at the news article, Jon admired the author of this article even more.

"The strange deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Strange at the Warrior Selection Site were apparently caused by Jon Green, the rebellious Mudblood who was selected. However, after many interviews and combined with the investigation by the Ministry of Magic, it was found that these were just rebellions. Molecule's deception."

"Mr. Campas of the Third Auror Team of the Ministry of Magic said: 'We encountered that boy when we were chasing wanted criminals. Yes, they were all fake. He was just an ordinary child. At that time, he only dared to hide from everyone. Behind. You ask me why I'm so impressed? Oh, that's because he's so good at acting. I could tell from the first moment I saw him that he was a natural actor. That's why they sent him out yesterday.' "

"Mr. Weasley, secretary of the Office for the Abuse of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, said: 'I returned to the right camp because I couldn't stand the darkness and exclusion there. He is good at disguise and is very favored by Dumbledore. Many people Everyone has been fooled by him. I have seen his character clearly there a long time ago. It is impossible for him to do this thing. Dumbledore must have ulterior motives. He has no talent at all except acting.' "

"Mr. Malfoy, Director of the Auror Office, said: 'We investigated the bodies of Bella and Rodolphus. They were not killed by magic. They were killed by the fangs of a very dangerous dark magical creature. This is obviously full of doubts. , as a wizard, no one would think of wielding a cold weapon to become an orangutan. Bella and the others died in this ending because someone deliberately caused it, because the boy couldn't use clever spells at all. If he died of magic, he would be considered a fool. You won't believe that he did it, so Dumbledore used this method to pass such atrocities onto him.'"

"We interviewed many insiders and finally concluded that the boy selected to participate in the Triwizard Tournament did not have the strength to kill the Lestranges in this way. The scene that happened at the selection dinner was a complete scam. ! Dumbledore intends to deceive wizards all over Europe to build momentum for Jon Green, and the conspiracy is directed at this Triwizard Tournament!"

"Dumbledore caught Lestrange's mistakes in executing the mission, arranged for a sneak attack on them, and then arrested them, waiting for the beginning of the warrior selection! Finally, after selecting the fugitive students, he will let them Jon Green stuns all the other contestants by making a brutal appearance by murdering the Lestranges with his fangs."

"They want to use such a move to have an impact on the Triwizard Tournament that has not yet started and increase their chances of winning. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic has investigated the whole matter. We also learned that Mr. Malfoy and Lydia will represent the United Kingdom in the competition. Mr. Strange is currently in good condition. They have not been confused by their opponents and are very confident that they will win the final victory next."

Next to the article that occupies the entire page is a photo of Dumbledore. I don’t know what kind of means the Daily Prophet used to make Dumbledore smile particularly sinister in this photo, as if he was really planning something. Like the dark villain of a grand conspiracy.

Jon read the entire news and had a very strange expression on his face.

It wasn't anger, it was a sense of incomprehensible absurdity.

"Does anyone really believe what they say? Moreover, the Triwizard Tournament? Why is such a competition held? They also say that I am a contestant?"

Jon had only just learned about the Triwizard Tournament, from the enemy's newspapers.

This made him feel as if he had been in the North Pole for two or three years, and he actually didn't know anything about the outside world!

"Of course there will be, and there will be many." Dumbledore said firmly, first answering Jon's first question, "Many people did not see what happened last night with their own eyes, and all descriptions are only through the fragments of words that have been circulated. , and the Daily Prophet’s report is well-founded, and there will definitely be many wizards in the UK who believe it.”

"Won't they read the news coming from abroad? There were many people from other magic newspapers present at the time. They certainly wouldn't make such outrageous reports, right?"

"During this period, as long as wizards still living in the UK, if two different pieces of information are placed in front of them, they will inevitably believe the news from the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said softly.

Jon thought about it and said after a moment.

"I still don't understand. In other words, the Dark Lord asked the Daily Prophet to make such a report just to deceive the wizards in the UK? Why did he do this? Anyone who was present that night would know the loopholes in his rhetoric. There are so many lies, and those people are basically diplomats from various ministries of magic. They will definitely not tell lies after they go back, so what impact can he have by spreading such lies?"

Dumbledore had obviously thought through the reason for this matter. He poured Jon a cup of tea and guided Jon to think.

"We first need to understand what the consequences would have been in Britain if he had not covered up your killing of the Lestranges."

Jon replied.

"Will it shake the trust of the half-bloods who make up the vast majority of wizards in the British Ministry of Magic? Two of their greatest sir's most capable subordinates were actually killed by a teenager like me."

"This is only part of it," Dumbledore said calmly. "This will shake his personal prestige, but it is just like the breeze blowing the grass and trees, causing them to sway slightly. What will really shake is actually what happens next. Confidence in the upcoming Triwizard Tournament."

"You killed Bella and Rodolphus alone, and you will represent us in the competition later. The result of this game will determine the final ownership of France. This is the key."

"If everyone knows that you have such strength, they will be extremely pessimistic about the next Triwizard Tournament, because they know that they will definitely lose. The Dark Lord wants to use this fake news to confuse the public. The fundamental reason for deceiving the British wizards into thinking that you are just an ordinary student is to give them hope for the next competition."

"And the Triwizard Tournament is a competition that the Dark Lord himself proposed to hold when you set off from Durmstrang to the North Pole to determine the ownership of France."
