The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 248 Unexpected help

At this time, the only person Hermione could think of who would help her was DeWitt, and it was always DeWitt. After Ludo Bagman left, she wrote her request to "know the problems of other warriors" in

on the piece of paper, and then turned the paper into a beetle, controlled the beetle to get out of the door, and waited until there was a feeling that the transfiguration spell was broken, and with the feeling of peace of mind that came with the feeling, Hermione confirmed that DeWitt had received her

After receiving the message, she returned her attention to the manuscript in her hand. While waiting for a reply, she half-closed her eyes and memorized the familiar content.

"Hermione." DeWitt appeared at the side and called in a low voice.

Hermione's eyes widened suddenly, and she whispered in surprise: "You actually came here yourself?"

"To save time," DeWitt said: "Now that the judges invited by the Ministry of Magic have taken their seats, I personally sneaked into the rooms of the other warriors. I won't go into too much detail. I'll just tell you the key points -

Durmstrang’s topic is related to black magic, Beauxbatons’ topic is related to alchemy.”

Waiting for Hermione to carefully understand the connection, DeWitt asked: "What's the use of asking about this?"

"I suspect that someone saw that Ludo Bagman's bet was rigged," Hermione said equally succinctly: "The selection of judges should be deliberate. Ludo Bagman just came to me and told me about the judge wizards.

Their areas of expertise are almost all in spells and transfiguration. If they are not completely ignorant of alchemy, they are only slightly involved. As for black magic... I have heard about the reputation of two of them and looked for their articles.

, at least these two judges are firmly opposed to black magic. Therefore, I have reason to infer that the other wizards have at least expressed their opposition to black magic. This means that the judges may have been carefully selected.

Carefully selected..."

DeWitt understood: "As long as you perform well enough, it is very easy for the winner of the second round to favor you."

"No, no one should think highly of me," Hermione shook her head and said, "The vast majority of people should think highly of others."

"But that doesn't make sense," DeWitt added: "In order to get people to bet more on Krum, the favorite, you deliberately raised his odds, as well as Fleur's odds, and let Rita

·Skeeter keeps giving the gamblers confidence, making them believe that Ludo Bagman is setting up a bet this time to win with a small chance. However, the odds for you and others are quite low. That makes

How many galleons will you get if you win the championship and go all-in? Will the investment during this period be enough to recoup the capital?"

"I don't know, dear DeWitt," Hermione didn't understand either. She said distressedly: "If Fred and George hadn't modified the odds I set at will, they would have lost their entire fortune betting on Hogwarts to win the championship.

It's not even comparable to the cost of books for our second grade, but the current situation is so abnormal that I'm convinced that someone saw that Ludo Bagman's bet was that the banker wanted to make a lot of money, but this person was selflessly

Provide help...you think, could it be your mother?"

"I didn't tell her about the bet, and she had no reason to help Fred and George," DeWitt shook his head in denial, but he began to hesitate again: "But I will write a letter to ask her later. And.

You..."

"I will compete well," Hermione replied: "These ideas are just my guesses, but even if someone is tampering behind my back, I will just do what I want to do - after all, the rules and the judges' mistakes are not due to me.

And get up."

"Someone is coming," DeWitt recognized Hermione's thoughts and decisions very much. Then he pulled out a nebula from the void, covered his body, and moved him to the position not long ago, leaving only a blessing: "Come on

Well, you are the best."

The person who came was Ludo Bagman. He looked around the room suspiciously and said with a smile: "Miss Granger, was there anyone else in the room just now?"

"No." Hermione said calmly: "Why do you ask that?"

"That's okay," Ludo Bagman opened the door of the room completely and said, "Now it's time for you to play."

When Hermione passed by him, Ludo Bagman kept reminding Hermione with his eyes not to forget what he had said. But Hermione's eyes directly passed him. After cutting her hair, she looked calm and calm.

Walk through the aisle between the seats where the students are sitting, climb up to the high platform demurely, then say hello to the principal and say hello to the judge wizard.

After receiving permission, Hermione pulled out her wand and began to explain her content. Everything went smoothly, and several judges even showed unabashed expressions of approval, and they occasionally smiled and whispered to each other. In response to this situation

Encouraged, Hermione's performance became more and more natural. However, when it came to the practical verification stage, during the demonstration of magic, her originally smooth movements suddenly froze for a moment, but the final result was not affected. It just started from that moment

When she finally left, Hermione no longer had a gentle and polite smile on her face, and her expression turned cold.

According to the regulations, the warriors need to return to their respective rooms after the second game, and finally go on stage together to wait for the score. I wonder if other warriors have encountered the same situation, Hermione thought, walking around the room, she

Carefully recalling every detail that happened in her session, Mo Hu's original conjecture became clear after repeated evidence, and finally it was confirmed that someone was assisting her when using magic. So Hermione stopped walking,

She then began to think about who was helping her.

The first thing to be eliminated this time was DeWitt. Hermione knew DeWitt just as DeWitt knew herself. She knew that DeWitt could understand her desire to complete the Triwizard Tournament independently. She knew that DeWitt could understand.

She wants an unadulterated honor. As long as it does not violate the rules, Hermione is also willing to accept help from others, and DeWitt must also know that he will definitely be able to control the "degree" of helping him. If he uses

If you choose a method that is not bright enough, you will be unhappy. Therefore, the person who "helps" you cast spells during the demonstration will definitely not be DeWitt.

Then DeWitt appeared, arriving in the same way as he left, and said: "How is the situation now?"

"Someone is helping me, I'm wondering who it is," Hermione glanced at DeWitt and said, "And - I don't think the other person has good intentions."

"The will contained in the magic was not strong enough and the duration was too short. The other party's assistance was limited to the very beginning. They stopped immediately after realizing that your performance was better than expected." DeWitt also recalled the scene at that time,

He said: "The magic used in the demonstration stage is only a trick that can be used after partially understanding the principle. It is okay if you are prepared, but now it is very difficult to find the other party just by recalling it - almost impossible, but

If I am talking about a suspect, I think it is one of the judges."

"I thought so," said Hermione, "but who is it?"

"I'm afraid this question is meaningless," DeWitt shook his head and said, "Someone is here again... probably about to announce the scores..."
