Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Conspiracy? What do you mean?"

Barty Crouch turned to look at Lewis, and several people didn't quite understand his words.

"Because the Goblet of Fire is a very strict magical item, it is basically impossible to make mistakes, unless someone casts a strong confusion spell to deceive the Goblet of Fire, and then throw my and Harry's names into it..."

"Impossible." Ludo Bagman retorted, "Before Goblet of Fire selected the warriors, Barty and I personally checked and there was nothing wrong with it."

"I checked it." Crouch nodded, but frowned again, seeming a little unsure.

"Sorry, I want to say something." Klum, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted, "Although this seems extremely inappropriate, I think the two of them must participate in this competition."

"Victor?" Karkaroff seemed a little dissatisfied that Krum, as a Durmstrang contestant, would actually say such a thing.

"This is something within the charter, Mr. Crouch." Krum did not hear Karkaroff's words. He stared directly at Crouch.

"Yes, we must abide by the rules." Mr. Crouch's face was gloomy. "It is clearly written on it that anyone selected by the Goblet of Fire must participate in the competition."

"Barty knows the terms inside and out," Bagman said, as if the matter was decided.

"If it is decided like this, Durmstrang will not come to participate in the next session." Karkaroff said this, "We have made so many preparations and held so many meetings to learn from so many students. There were qualified students selected, but I didn’t expect this to happen. Wouldn’t this force me to leave?”

Karkaroff's mood was violent, and almost no one present could control him. After all, Principal Durmstrang's identity was there.

"Stop making useless threats, Karkaroff!" The door was opened again, and Alastor Moody came in with Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Colin, "You and yourself The warrior must compete. They all have to compete. This is bound by a magical contract. You should know the consequences of breaking the contract."

Moody hobbled in and stood beside Louis and Harry.

"Professor Dumbledore, Harry and Louis are innocent, they did not put their names in..." Hermione and others said hurriedly to Dumbledore.

"Okay, okay, I know." Dumbledore stopped them and continued.

"Mr. Wiggins was right before. Someone threw the names of Potter and Wiggins into the Goblet of Fire. This seemed to be beneficial to Hogwarts, but in fact that person knew that once they were selected by the Goblet of Fire, , both of them must compete.”

"Obviously, someone wants Hogwarts to win," Madame Maxime called out.

"Do you know why the Ministry of Magic set an age limit this year, Madam Maxime?" Moody turned his magic eyes to the hybrid giant, "It's because the content of the project is too dangerous for underage wizards. Do you really think they If they can really compete with the warriors of your school, it can only mean that your school’s level is too low.”

"You!" Madame Maxime couldn't refute what he said. Indeed, Harry Potter and Louis Wiggins were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the scores of the two sides in the Triwizard Tournament would not accumulate, that is to say , Harry and Louis are in a competitive relationship at the same time.

However, Louis was a little embarrassed when he heard this. If he really compared, Fleur Delacour was no match for him.

"Okay, I don't know how this situation happened." Dumbledore stood up and smoothed things over. "In my opinion, we have no choice but to accept the result."

"Dumbledore...but..."

"Do you have a better idea, dear Madam Maxime? If so, I am all ears." Dumbledore bowed to Madam Maxime in an extremely gentlemanly manner.

She stared, but said nothing else. Karkaroff's face was livid, but Ludo Bagman's face looked extremely excited.

"I think so too, Dumbledore." Barty Crouch said, "This is my decision. I will explain the situation to the Ministry, and then the Ministry of Magic will issue a written report to the two countries."

Louis took a deep breath. It seemed that it was impossible to withdraw from the game. In that case, let's find Barty Crouch Jr. in the middle of the game.

"Great." Mr. Bagman whistled, "Let's continue. It's time to give the warriors a task. By the way, a few of them..."

Mr. Bagman pointed at Hermione and the others, and Crouch beside him waved:

"There's nothing to keep secret, since they already know everything."

"Great, then the first task is to test your courage. I won't tell you what the specific task is, because facing the unknown can better test your courage."

"The first mission will take place on November 24."

"Each warrior cannot get any help from the professor during the competition. All you can rely on is the wand in your hand and yourself. When you complete the first task, you will get instructions for the next task."

Ludo Bagman finished speaking in one breath, and he turned to Mr. Crouch: "Do you have anything else to add, Barty."

Mr. Crouch shook his head and sat down by the fire.

"Aren't you staying at Hogwarts tonight, Barty?" Dumbledore asked with concern.

"No, I have to go back to the Ministry." Crouch thanked Dumbledore for his kindness, "The Ministry has been too busy recently."

"Stay, Barty, I want to stay here. Hogwarts is full of opportunities." Ludo Bagman said happily. Of course, if Crouch returns to the ministry, he will have to follow. go back.

"I don't think so, Ludo." Crouch refused irritably. "The International Cooperation Department has a lot more things to do than your Sports Department, especially after the Quidditch World Cup."

"Then I won't send you off." Dumbledore said, "Karkaroff, Madam Maxime, do you two want a drink before going to bed?"

But Madam Maxime had already gone out with Fleur in her arms, and Karkaroff also left behind Krum.

"You guys should go back to Gryffindor Tower and sleep quickly, otherwise you will be discovered by Filch later..."

Without Dumbledore's reminder, several people said goodbye to Barty Crouch and came out. There was no one in the hall.

"Louis really has yours, I thought it would be Angelina..." Colin said as he walked.

"Tomorrow Hogwarts will explode again. The warriors of Hogwarts are all Gryffindors..."

"Harry, Louis, you really didn't put your name in?" Ron asked suddenly.

"Of course not, Ron, don't you believe us?" Harry was a little annoyed, didn't even his friends believe in him?

"Who knows?" Ron spread his hands. They were speechless all the way, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
