Chapter 174 Talking with Mead (Catching Bugs)
"It's even more impossible," Snape narrowed his eyes, bared his teeth, and almost swallowed Harry. "The Goblet of Fire is a centuries-old magic tool! When it was born, the American Efa Mani hasn’t even built a school yet! There’s no Ilvermorny settings here at all!”
"I don't know, it's really useless to ask me..." Harry spread his hands, feeling that he was really shameless at the moment, "Maybe the headmaster and professors should check the Goblet of Fire?"
When a person has no face or skin, he is actually invincible-this is the state of Halle at the moment, and the principals and professors can't do anything about her.
No matter how Mrs. Maxim protested, Halle's name was sprayed out of the Goblet of Fire, which meant that she had to participate anyway, which the headmaster and professors all understood.
As for which school Harley should compete as a warrior of the school, everyone cannot reach a consensus-if it is a warrior of Hogwarts, it would be unfair to Beauxbaton and Durmstrang, because the probability of Hogwarts winning in the end Straightforward double; being Ilvermorny...the headmaster of Ilvermorny isn't even here at this time.What if Halle really wins in the end?Is it America's Ilvermorny heavenly glory?
In that case...Principal Fontana is very lucky.Moreover, where should the face of the three famous historical universities in Europe be placed?
In the end, Bagman let Crouch make the decision on behalf of the Ministry of Magic and limited the scope of the competition to Europe-Harry was still counted as a Hogwarts warrior.
Harry is very sorry, she still misses Headmaster Fontana.
And Crouch's so-called "decision", just nodded numbly, he looked listless.
When Mrs. Maxim heard the result, she angrily led Fleur away. The two whispered French while walking, and Harry heard "unfair", "faint Ministry of Magic" and so on; Then he took Krum away with no expression on his face.
Thinking about how she was still worrying about Britain and the peace around her at this moment yesterday, this happened today... Should I say that I really didn't come in vain?
"Harry, you and Cedric can go back to rest too. I believe there must be a celebration waiting for you in your respective common room." Dumbledore said, looking at them both with a smile.
"No, no!" Snape looked even more gloomy. "Digory can go back. But Potter, go to my office! Now!"
Before Dumbledore could speak for Harry, Snape squeezed Harry's shoulders, and pushed her along the empty corridor back to his office like a prisoner.
He knocked on the door.Throw the anti-tapping charm.
I was too angry to speak for a while.And when he opens his mouth—
"I thought... I thought you were at least a little more cautious than your reckless father!"
"Is 'adventure' so interesting in your eyes? The current situation...is it time for you to play around?!"
"I should have asked the principal to fire you now!"
Harry looked at the closed office door.
"I didn't put my name in, Professor Snape," she said calmly.
"But someone did this, they must have an ulterior purpose."
Snape was only halfway through his anger, and he carefully checked every inch of the girl's face.
"Then you just..."
"No matter how I try to argue, it's useless," Harry said, with a calm and thoughtful tone beyond his age, "It's better to say something that doesn't follow the script, take a dangerous move that is unexpected by the mastermind behind the scenes, and see who it is Behaving abnormally and showing his feet in that moment."
"You really didn't vote?" Snape asked finally.
"No..." Harry just wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't dare... She wasn't free enough to take the initiative to seek death, and Damian was still waiting for her to come back alive!
"Did Detective Potter see who was 'showing off'?"
"Umbridge and Karkaroff," said Harry, ignoring Snape's sarcasm, "I think they're both weird. Either way, my act of voting my name is a violation of school rules, and it's such a good expulsion for me." , and the opportunity to scold me, Umbridge actually missed it; Karkaroff, did not actively protest like Madam Maxim—unless Karkaroff’s character is such an indifferent person, then I will Didn't say..."
"You know, what you said...is far-fetched." Snape shook his head.
"Maybe," Harry shrugged, "maybe they're just too lazy to talk to me? But it's worth a try."
She then told the Potions Professor about her recent doubts about Umbridge, which made Snape even more unconvinced.
"This is not Gotham, there are not so many conspiracy theories."
Although he said so, he also admitted that Fen Toad/Toad has not been so annoying recently...
After sending Harry, who was still twittering about Umbridge's conspiracy theory, back to the dormitory, Snape turned around and went to find Dumbledore, regardless of whether he was asleep or not.
"Harry said she didn't vote for a name, and she admitted to me." Snape emphasized immediately after entering the door.
Dumbledore hadn't changed into his pajamas yet, and he was reviewing documents at his slender-legged desk.
"Ah, welcome, Severus! Would you like a nightcap?"
"Did you hear that? Harry said she didn't vote for..." Snape frowned.
Although Snape did not express his wish for a "nightcap", Dumbledore poured mead for the Potions Professor himself.
"Harry said..." Snape didn't want to reach for the glass at all.
"Harry didn't vote," the old headmaster finally responded to the subject, "I know."
"I don't know if you've also noticed this interesting phenomenon, Severus," Dumbledore shook the glass, the alluring liquid in the glass reflected the streamer, "when Harry admitted that she didn't do it herself On the contrary, everyone gave up pestering her endlessly."
"I guess it's because Harley unraveled that layer of mystery, so people lost interest - the human mind's habits are really amazing, don't you think?"
"The 'unraveling the mystery' you mentioned is not her purpose..." Snape didn't think Harry had this level of... "Heart", "Harry mentioned that Umbridge is suspicious... And Karkaroff."
"Oh?" Dumbledore asked excitedly.
"About dusty cat trays and boxes without lace drape..."
"Hmm...interesting," Dumbledore rubbed his glass, "very clever."
"I noticed...you didn't deny Harry's suspicions..." Snape frowned.
"So Umbridge and Karkaroff were indeed swapped...and you already knew." Snape was annoyed, "Didn't you even think to tell me?"
He then shook his head, "It's my fault... I didn't gain enough trust from the Dark Lord, and I didn't even hear the wind. And I didn't even notice the abnormality around me..."
"You have too many things to worry about recently, Severus, be more tolerant of yourself." Dumbledore's expression was that kind of elder-like kindness, which sometimes comforted Snape, and sometimes made Snape He is more irritable...
"Remember when I told you that there was a Horcrux at Hogwarts?"
Snape looked up, "You think they're here to fetch Horcruxes?"
"Yes, maybe not," Dumbledore said, "Horcruxes must be Voldemort's ultimate goal. But these two, they must not know what they are looking for. Because Voldemort will never tell others the secret of his immortality—because He doesn't trust anyone, and this method of obtaining immortality will be despised by most wizards."
Snape nodded.Indeed, when he learned that the Dark Lord relied on Horcruxes to survive, he was suddenly... quite disappointed.
"Then what does this have to do with Harry's participation in the competition?" Snape continued to ask, but seeing Dumbledore's mysterious expression... he understood a little, "You still don't intend to tell me."
He grabbed the arm of the chair and suddenly wanted to lift the table in front of Dumbledore in protest.
"I can't put all my chips in one basket, Severus. And the one that hangs around Voldemort's neck all the time."
"You asked me to be a spy!" Snape gritted his teeth.
"And your work is done very well." Dumbledore still maintained a calm look.
"What I can tell you now is that Voldemort probably has more than one plan at Hogwarts this year." He patiently explained to Snape, "He has been in the dark, and we are in the light. Now he rarely shows We must use these opportunities wisely...at least, to find the Horcruxes."
"Then... you just let Harry risk his life to compete?!"
"Give her a little confidence, Severus," said Dumbledore, "and, if you're really worried, when we find the Horcruxes, you can try to knock her down in a match and force her to quit."
In the last sentence, Snape always felt that there was something deep in Dumbledore's shining eyes...
Because, knocking down Harley—it was indeed the plan Snape planned to carry out at the very beginning of the first level...Poisoning, spells, etc., there are too many ways.With Harry's trust in him, opportunities abound for him to strike.
Rather than letting the girl take risks, he would rather have Harry Potter get zero points, even if he wants to break the triwizard tournament's useless record.Now that Dumbledore has made it clear...but it's not easy to do it.
Dumbledore...was he expressing disapproval?
