The Trinity of Harry Potter

Chapter 166 Pre-match inspection

The next day, in the principal's office.

"Principal, have you found out?" Kano asked as soon as he entered the door.

Dumbledore touched his crooked nose and sighed.

"The screening time started half an hour earlier." He took out a vial filled with silver floc and poured it into the pensieve, gesturing to Kano to take a look.

Kano buried his face in the pensieve, which showed Filch sitting in his office wearing the same dress as last night.

Green flames lit up in the fireplace in the room, and an official from the Ministry of Magic walked out of it holding a wooden box.

"Inside this box is the Goblet of Fire. Please keep it properly and don't try to open it in advance."

At this point, the official sneered.

Filch is also considered a "famous" Squib. He has worked at Hogwarts for many years, and many young wizards know his background.

Even if he wanted to open the box, he didn't have the magic ability.

Filch took the box with both hands with a low eyebrow, placed it on the table and quietly waited for the dinner to begin.

The Ministry of Magic official left through the fireplace.

Everything seemed normal, but Kano noticed that the memory was a little blurry, as if it were covered with fog.

He raised his head from the pensieve: "Is this memory false?"

"Without a doubt."

"How's Filch doing? Is he still conscious?"

Dumbledore nodded: "The wizard who rewrote Argus's memory was very skilled and left no sequelae, but that's why we can't catch his tail."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that he once sneaked into Hogwarts and started the screening process in Argus's office in advance."

"He used a confusion spell to set up a fourth school that didn't exist. Harry is the only student in it, so he will definitely be chosen."

Kano touched his chin and thought, this method has not changed. But Crouch Jr. can achieve his goal more simply.

If he could sneak into Hogwarts without being discovered, he might as well hide in Filch's office. Even Dumbledore wouldn't monitor the staff rooms at will.

When the time comes, cast the Imperius Curse on Filch and let him find a reason to capture Harry and imprison him. He can easily obtain Harry's blood through force.

Why bother and let him participate in the Triwizard Tournament? The logic doesn't make sense.

At the same time, the Three Plus One Warriors were conducting pre-game wand checks.

Ollivander's big pale eyes swept over the four children and took the wand from their hands.

"Nine and a half inches, made of maple wood, the core of the wand is... Veela's hair." Ollivander accurately judged this unusual material, and Fleur smiled.

"The core of the wand comes from my grandmother."

"Very good, there are no hidden injuries." Ollivander raised his wand, "The orchid is in full bloom."

A flower bloomed on the tip of the wand, and Ollivander returned the wand to Fleur.

The wand held by Cedric was naturally the work of Ollivander. Ollivander inspected it carefully as if visiting his married daughter, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Krum's wand was made by wandmaker Grigovitch, and although Ollivander and him had some differences in wand making, they still generally sympathized with each other.

"The material is very hard. It will help the master gain the upper hand in duels." Ollivander waved his wand twice, and Harry could hear the whizzing sound of the wind.

The lean Krum took back the wand with satisfaction: "We in Durmstrang happen to have a tradition of dueling. We hope to have the opportunity to compete with a real duelist this year."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Fleur. Fleur knew that Klum was eyeing Kano, and she couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Francois.

It was Harry's wand's turn, and Ollivander examined it with almost obsession.

"You get along very well with it." Ollivander suddenly lowered his voice, "If the fate of the twin core owners is really entangled, then it may help you in unexpected ways."

"It has always helped me, and it will definitely not change in the future." Harry smiled and took back the wand made of phoenix tail feathers and holly wood.

Voldemort is getting closer and closer, and he will definitely take action again in this Triwizard Tournament.

Looking back on the past few school years, Harry was very glad that he did not relax in training. After thinking about it last night, Harry decided to treat this competition as a practice.

Could anything be scarier than Kano training him during the holidays?

Fleur on the side smiled inexplicably. Veela was very sensitive to changes in people's hearts. She was sure that Harry, who was confused and uneasy yesterday, became like this today because he must have something to do with her boyfriend.

"Okay, now that the inspection is over, it's time for us to take photos." Ludo Bagman emerged from somewhere, followed by a photographer holding a camera.

"Let the warriors take pictures with the referees. This must be very meaningful and suitable for the front page."

Ludo kept mumbling all the time, and Harry felt that he might have some occupational disease from being a Quidditch commentator.

The photos were finally taken, but today's process is not over yet.

"Hello fellow warriors, I am a special correspondent from the Daily Prophet, and now I want to conduct an exclusive interview with each of you." A square-faced woman with big waves and diamond-encrusted glasses stood at the door with a false smile.

arrive.

She is Rita Skeeter, the reporter Kano specially contacted Guffey.

Rita is good at confusing right and wrong and spreading rumors to stir up trouble. She has neither character nor professional ethics. But now both the Ministry of Magic and Kano need to put on a false appearance of peace and order to buy time for war preparations.

Only she could produce a full page of nonsense entertainment news, which was enough to paralyze Voldemort.

Although Rita didn't know anything about the inside story, she knew her "function" in the eyes of the editor, so she went all out to spread rumors today.

"It's almost time to eat now. How about we do the interview in the afternoon?" Dumbledore asked.

"We can interview one of them first, and the other warriors will come in the afternoon." Rita stared at Harry with bright eyes, "How about we start with this unexpected warrior?"

Her automatic pen and parchment were ready for use.

"That woman gave me a bad feeling. She seemed to have no good intentions."

After lunch, Kano and Fleur, who was fine for the time being, walked and chatted by the Black Lake.

Kano smiled and nodded: "The instructions she received were exaggerated and written in any way. She was originally sent to stir up trouble."

Furong raised her eyebrows: "Did you find her?"

Kano leaned into Fleur's ear and whispered an explanation, and Fleur nodded thoughtfully.

"Then she won't make up nonsense on my side, right?" Fleur was a little worried, "If it hadn't been for Potter, the duel that day would have been the biggest news."

"It doesn't matter, I restricted the direction in which she spread rumors." Kano smiled mysteriously.

The next morning, Harry looked at the reports about himself and was speechless.
