Chapter 520 The Second Portkey

"What's going on?"

The fake Moody came over with his lame leg.

Of course, he saw Fish being taken away by the Triwizard Cup, and he also saw the sparks emitted by Harry, but Moody's artificial leg made him move much slower than the other three patrolmen, and it would be useless even if he started moving before Harry emitted the sparks.

But this was not a big problem, as he had not been exposed yet, and the spare door key originally used to abduct Fish was set to a timed type because he needed to carry it with him, so he could not send Harry away before the time came.

Now, he just had to ensure that he did not reveal his identity before the spare door key took effect, and try to stay by Harry's side.

So Barty Cratchit kept a surprised expression and pretended to know nothing and came to the side of the crowd.

"The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament was made into a door key, and Fish was taken away by it."

Dumbledore briefly explained the situation, with boundless anger suppressed in his blue eyes.

After being sent out of the maze, Krum told the story of being under the Imperius Curse, and Karkaroff shouted to stop the game.

In fact, Dumbledore had a bad feeling at the time and wanted to suspend the game, but the two referees representing the Ministry of Magic, Fudge Cornelius and Ludo Bagman, both refused firmly on the grounds that the Triwizard Tournament had never been stopped halfway.

As the organizer, Hogwarts had used a similar reason to continue the game when Harry was selected before, so Dumbledore couldn't insist at the time.

As a result... something went wrong.

Dumbledore was very upset about this.

According to Harry's story just now, Dumbledore had basically deduced the plan of the person who was secretly doing the trick - letting Harry participate in the Triwizard Tournament was not to kill him, but to kidnap him.

Considering the relationship between Voldemort and Harry, and the scar issue Harry mentioned recently, Dumbledore felt that there should be no other culprit.

Although there are still some details that cannot be confirmed, Dumbledore has to admit that this plan is indeed beyond his expectations. The only loophole is probably that he misjudged Fish's strength.

However, Dumbledore still has a question that he has not figured out. Since Voldemort and his servants have already thought of using the portkey to capture Harry, why must they use the Triwizard Cup as a carrier? Wouldn't it be enough to find an opportunity for Harry to touch the portkey directly in the school?

Is there a reason why they cannot be exposed, or must it be today, or is it difficult for them to contact Harry at other times?

Dumbledore's blue eyes swept over several suspects in his mind...

Karkaroff seemed very flustered, but his performance was a bit too obvious. He probably guessed who was behind the scenes, so he was put on the observation list for the time being.

Ludo Bagman... Well... This guy is just a fool, and looking at his confused look, it is obviously unlikely to be him, but it is possible that he inadvertently helped Voldemort and his men do something, just like in the past. We can ask him separately later.

Fleur, who was also in the maze and the most convenient person to attack, was holding her hands with her fingers crossed, praying for Fish in French with a worried look on her face. She didn't look like Voldemort's accomplice.

Finally, Dumbledore's eyes fell on Mad-Eye Moody.

He didn't really doubt Moody, but Fish's words before affected Dumbledore, so he subconsciously glanced at him.

Professor Moody was also like Dumbledore at this time, using his magic eye to look around vigilantly. After meeting Dumbledore's eyes, he nodded at him seriously...

It couldn't be Moody.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was also a little worried.

But there was someone who was even more confused and needed comfort.

"Calm down, Minerva. If you look for it now without any clue, it will only waste time and experience. What we should do most now is to keep an eye on Harry."

Dumbledore quickly comforted Professor McGonagall who wanted to leave the school to find Fish.

"Harry?"

Professor McGonagall was completely panicked at this time, and she didn't even think about why the Triwizard Cup turned into a portkey.

"Yes, Harry," Dumbledore repeated, saying, "He is the real target of the people who did all this."

"Me?"

Harry Potter pointed at himself in confusion, and the looks from the people around him made him feel uncomfortable.

"If the other party's target was Fish, they wouldn't control Krum to attack him."

Dumbledore explained briefly, and then said to Professor McGonagall and others, "Take Harry to my office first, I'll go there as soon as I finish dealing with things here."

Although he wanted to ask Harry for clues immediately, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had to arrange for other students and two guests from the two schools first.

In addition, as the Ministry of Magic, which co-hosted the Triwizard Tournament, would definitely send people to solve the problem together after knowing the news here, and Dumbledore also needed their manpower to help search for Fish's location.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, nodded, and escorted Harry into the castle with Flitwick, Hagrid, and Moody.

Harry looked at Professor McGonagall, who had a sullen face, and then at Professors Flitwick and Moody, who also had bad expressions. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Hagrid on the side patted him gently on the back and comforted him: "Don't think so much, Harry, it's not your fault."

"Well..." Harry responded vaguely, but his heart was still filled with guilt.

Several people arrived in Dumbledore's office in silence. Professor Flitwick conjured some chairs and everyone sat down around Harry.

Professor McGonagall was sitting in front of him, facing Harry, but she did not focus on Harry. Instead, she lowered her head, stared at the ground in a daze, and unconsciously tugged at the ground with her hands. Wearing your own robe...

This was the first time Harry had seen Professor McGonagall in such a fragile state.

The guilt in his heart deepened.

After a while, the door to the office was opened again, and Snape and Professor Sprout also walked in. Snape gave Harry a cold look, then took a chair and sat far away.

Professor Sprout sat next to Professor McGonagall, looking at her in despair, but like Harry, he didn't know what to say.

"Harry, can you think of any clues?" Professor Moody, who was sitting on Harry's left, suddenly spoke, breaking the awkward silence in the office. "During the Triwizard Tournament, did anyone give you any extra information?" Help? If things are as Dumbledore suspected."

Professor McGonagall raised her head sharply and stared at Harry nervously.

Harry licked his dry lips, looked at Professor McGonagall, and then at Professor Moody, but hesitated to speak.

"By the way, I gave you a hint in the first game..." Professor Moody grabbed his crutch, tapped his forehead lightly with the handle, and said proactively, "Well, like this That being said, I do have some suspicions... So who else is it?"

Seeing what Professor Moody had said, and the expectant look in Professor McGonagall's eyes, Harry began to try hard to remember...

"Hagrid...he...told me that I would face the fire dragon in the first game."

Harry glanced at Hagrid on his right and said honestly: "As for the rest..."

He shook his head and said: "Fish said the reminder for the second game at the beginning. In addition, Ron has been practicing magic spells with me."

"So..." Professor Moody turned to Harry and leaned forward, "Who taught you the Eye Spell?" His magic eye no longer moved around, but joined the other normal eye. , stared at Harry, and said: "I only remind you to send the curse."

Harry replied in a panic: "That, that's what I... found by looking through the book myself."

All the professors except Hagrid knew he was lying.

This is not only because of Harry's panic, but also because the Eye Disease Curse is a relatively harmful curse. It is definitely not a spell that he can learn now, and the books recording this spell are also placed in the library. The restricted book section was not something he could easily borrow.

"This is related to Fei Xu's safety! What are you still hiding?!"

Professor Moody stood up, took a step forward, approached Harry, and asked sternly.

Harry pursed his lips tightly and refused to answer.

"We need clues now! Harry! Don't you want to rescue Fish?!"

Professor Moody paused the cane in his hand vigorously, roared angrily, and approached Harry again.

Harry was sprayed with spittle all over his face, and he could even feel Professor Moody's violent snorting, and...

The crutches that had been attached to the back of his hands and calves.

This is what I don't understand the most about Goblet of Fire. Barty and Harry are alone so many times, and he can be sent away with a portkey at any time. He doesn't even come to school. He sends an anonymous gift at Christmas. Inside Put a portkey and Harry will be sent away while he opens his presents.

After much deliberation, I can only explain it as Voldemort's bad taste and sense of ritual.

…

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that I was taking the college entrance examination, and I don’t know if I was reborn in the dream or something. In short, I already had the memory of my college experience.

So I was smart and applied for my old university again...

Then I failed...
