Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

"But so is Cedric. Why don't you help him?" Harry said.

The expression on Bagman's face showed some impatience, and he emphasized again.

"I said, Harry, I only like you alone. I admire your performance in using the broomstick to get the golden egg in the first project, because I used to be a professional Quidditch player, so I like it." Because of your skills, I can give you a little help without anyone else knowing."

But Harry couldn't accept his approach.

In the first project, he had already unknowingly accepted the cheating of Hagrid revealing the information to him in advance, but at that time he also told Cedric that the other two schools' warriors also all passed through different channels. knew.

If everyone cheats, then the game is still fair.

But now Bagman's behavior only provided convenience to himself, and the justice in Harry's heart made him decisively refuse.

"Sorry Mr. Bagman, I can definitely solve the puzzle of the golden egg on my own, I don't need anyone else's help."

After saying that, Harry turned around and left, which made Bagman, who was stunned on the spot, a little angry, angry at Harry for being ignorant.

Harry did not hide this incident, and after returning to the Gryffindor common room, he told Hermione about it.

"He is the referee! How could he do such a thing!"

Hermione was also very dissatisfied and said that according to their ideas, as a referee, you must be fair and just.

Balmain didn't occupy their conversation for long, and soon Hermione talked about her other discoveries.

"That annoying reporter seems to have disappeared."

Harry's face showed excitement.

"That's a great thing! But are you sure she is really missing?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be." Hermione frowned and said, "You never pay attention to these things. When the Triwizard Tournament was just announced to be held this year, the Daily Prophet reported that Rita... Skeeter is the exclusive reporter for this event, which means that she is responsible for all the coverage of the game, but she has not appeared in the castle since the last ball, which is strange. "

Harry didn't think so much. For him, whatever happened to Skeeter, as long as he didn't bother him anymore and those reports with nonsense words didn't involve him, that was a good thing.

While they were chatting, Ron also walked out of the boys' dormitory at this time. As soon as Hermione saw him, she turned around and walked upstairs with a cold face.

"I'm going back."

Ron also waited specially for her to leave before he came to Harry's side.

"You two are really not like this." Harry said with a headache, "I really don't think Hermione and Krum are in any danger to me."

"That's because you haven't seen the root of the matter! Harry." Ron said stubbornly.

Harry did not refute his words. He felt that among them, Ron was the only one who really did not see the essence of the matter.

But since reconciling with Ron, Harry had been careful not to want their newly repaired relationship to fall apart again.

Just when the three Harrys were entangled in relationship issues, Dumbledore was in his office.

Sherlock, Snape, Dumbledore and Moody gathered here.

"He has found me more than once." Snape said coldly. "After the Christmas ball, he came to me privately once. He told me that he was scared and wanted to run away and asked me what I thought. "

Sherlock didn't show much nervousness, but looked at Snape with interest.

"Then what do you say?"

"I said, if he wants to escape, that's his business. I will stay at Hogwarts!"

Snape's reply was not friendly, but that was the relationship between him and Sherlock.

Dumbledore motioned to Snape to continue speaking, and then he continued.

"Yesterday, he came to my office again, but this time his questions were very strange."

Moody stared at him, subconsciously using the same stern tone he used when he was an Auror.

"What did he say."

Snape said coldly.

"He asked me, if that person really came back, what would I choose, whether to go to Dumbledore's side, or to go back to his side again."

The other three people suddenly frowned.

"I asked him what he meant by this, which side I chose in the end, and what it had to do with him."

"He didn't continue talking. He just looked at me and said that there are some things that I need to think about more clearly. He was ready to run away, but he was also thinking about things for me. After all, we are grasshoppers on the same rope."

After Snape finished speaking, the office fell silent at first, and everyone fell into thinking for a while.

In the end, it was Moody's hoarse voice that sounded first.

"Karkaroff's question is a bit strange. Logically speaking, he felt the call of the mysterious man from his dark demon mark, so he should not be in the mood to care about other people now. I was the one who caught it with my own hands. He, I know his character very well, he is an extremely selfish villain, he will never care about others except his own interests and comfort. "

Dumbledore rapped his knuckles lightly on the table.

"The disappearance of old Barty has become a big deal. The Ministry of Magic is sending out a large number of Aurors to find his whereabouts. After all, it is not a small matter for a director to disappear for no reason. According to our previous speculation, the attack on Xia Xia Locke, the person who secretly signed Harry up for the Triwizard Tournament was probably created by old Barty who was controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse. If Karkaroff also has a problem, what is his purpose? "

"We have said before that there is basically no possibility of Karkaroff returning to the ranks of Death Eaters." Sherlock touched his chin and continued, "He not only betrayed Voldemort, he also betrayed countless people. Companion, even if Voldemort is willing to forgive him for some things, those betrayed by him cannot simply let go of their hatred. "

"Of course, these are just our guesses. If for some reason we don't know, Voldemort regains contact with Karkaroff and is willing to return to his command again, then he went to Snape and said I think these words are probably a kind of temptation.”

"He is testing Snape, Voldemort's once most loyal subordinate, whether he really wants to stay with Dumbledore, or whether his loyalty to Voldemort has never changed and he has been dormant, waiting for the opportunity to return. ”
