Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

This middle-aged wizard who used to be a dark wizard and is now the headmaster of Durmstrang is clamoring that he will never take his students to participate in the next Triwizard Tournament again, and he will also talk about this matter Complaints were filed with the Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards.

Moody and Sherlock's eyes were on him now.

"Karkaroff is highly suspected," Moody said in a deep voice. "He was caught by me personally. I know how cunning and treacherous he is. Before he was caught, almost all the Death Eaters Everyone believes that he is one of the most loyal followers of the mysterious man, but on the first day he was captured, he betrayed all his companions without hesitation."

"Now he might use Harry to leave a life-saving charm for himself. If the mysterious man makes a comeback in the future, he can use this to exchange for a chance of survival."

Sherlock had a different opinion on this.

"Dumbledore said that what the mysterious man hates most is betrayal. Karkaroff himself should be very aware of such a thing. Harry cannot be his life-saving talisman, but will instead become his reminder. Besides, even if Voldemort is willing to let go If you let him go, there is absolutely no chance that those Death Eaters who were captured in Azkaban because of his betrayal will let him go."

What he said was reasonable, but Moody did not completely give up his idea, but reserved his opinion, and the two of them turned their attention to the next person.

Madame Maxime, who is as tall as Hagrid.

The headmistress was obviously unhappy, but her behavior was much more restrained than Karkaroff's and she didn't say any threatening words.

"Olim Maxim, this woman's life is very simple. Except for her unknown family situation, her previous experiences are clearly recorded." As a senior Auror, Moody saw what he saw in the Auror Command. There is a lot of information, "In her life so far, she has not had any interaction with the mysterious man, and there is no deep grudge against Harry."

In this woman, Sherlock and Moody share the same point of view.

"She is indeed the least suspect person because there is absolutely no reason to do this."

Passing past Madame Maxime, their eyes rested on the short, dwarf-like Balmain, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, standing next to her.

"Ludo Balmain's situation is even simpler. He was a batsman for Wimbourne Wasps and the England national team before entering the Ministry of Magic and becoming the Director of Sports. He likes to bet with people. , and is good at running camps and using fake money. He has a lot of minor problems, but I have never heard of any rumors that he has contact with the mysterious forces."

Sherlock couldn't even recall any information about Balmain from the memory of the original work, which he still didn't remember much.

He also determined that this was a walk-on role, and it was unlikely that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Finally, they turned their attention to the last person, the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, Barty Crouch, who had been staring at the others arguing with a gloomy face since entering the door without saying a word.

This time Sherlock spoke first.

"I think he is the most suspicious!"

Moody was puzzled by this.

"Although Barty has the indelible stain of having a son who is a Death Eater, there is no doubt about his character. In the 1970s, when the conflict between the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters was at its most acute, it was his incomparable persistence that He opposed pure-blood hegemony and the rule of mysterious men. Later, after learning that his son was a Death Eater, he did not hesitate to capture him directly into Azkaban. At that time, some people even thought that his only shortcoming was Too selfless."

Old Barty had served as the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for a long time. As the immediate boss of Moody's former boss, there was still a romantic relationship between them.

And judging from old Barty's life history, there is really no possibility of him joining Voldemort.

But Sherlock obviously knows more than Moody.

He lowered his voice so that only he and Moody could hear.

"The process is too complicated, so I'll make it short. His son, Barty Crouch Jr., the mysterious man's hardcore supporter, did not die in Azkaban before."

Hearing these words, Moody's pupils suddenly shrank, but Sherlock's voice still did not stop.

"Not long ago at the Quidditch World Cup, I discovered Barty Jr. and finally killed him. However, I don't know whether Crouch knows about this now, but based on this, his suspicion is not small. .”

Moody fell silent. His eyes did not stay on Crouch deliberately, but lowered his head and stared at his rough palms.

"Would someone like him betray the Ministry of Magic?"

No one could answer his words, not even Shylock.

All their current speculations are just suspicions. Before there is conclusive evidence, except for Dumbledore, any of the other four people are possible.

Or if we relax a little more, maybe some wizard sneaked into Hogwarts Castle and did this secretly.

However, the possibility of this is very low, and neither Moody nor Sherlock gave it serious consideration.

After confirming Harry's status as the second champion of Hogwarts, the debate about one more champion ended here.

Barty Crouch, as the referee's representative, informed the four warriors of the time of the first game.

"The first project will be carried out on November 24th. It will be completed in front of other students and the judging panel. It will test your courage, so we are not going to tell you what it is. Dare to face the unknown is a wizard. An important quality of...very important..."

"When completing the competition events, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Warriors are not allowed to request or accept any help from their teachers. When the warriors face the first round of challenges, the only weapon in their hands is their own wands. Waiting for the first event They will learn about the second event only after it is over. Due to the high demands and long duration of the competition, the warriors will not take the school year exam."

The prompt is very short. After saying the above words, today’s matter ends here.

The referees and professors left this compartment in the auditorium respectively.

After Harry went out, he found that all the students in the auditorium had left, and Ron and Hermione were not waiting for him, but he would not go back alone.

"So, we are rivals again this time?"

Cedric always had that warm smile on his face and looked like a good-natured boy next door.

Harry, feeling confused, just replied.

"maybe."
