Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Today's dinner was much richer than usual. When the judges walked from the side door to the classroom seats, delicious food appeared on the golden plates.

Kyle took a piece of bacon and glanced at Fangzheng in the classroom.

Ms. Maxim looked happy and smiling, but Karkaroff sitting next to him had a sullen face.

The same goes for Bagman. He is usually very happy, but today he was uncharacteristically talking anxiously to Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore just shook his head.

"His front-page dream has come to nothing." A voice suddenly came from the side, and Kyle turned around and realized it was Fred and George.

They arrived at the Great Hall at some unknown time and sat down at the Hufflepuff table.

"Don't be too surprised. We were worried that you were too nervous, so we came here to cheer you up." George said with a smile.

"Thank you very much," Kyle said, "but what did you mean when you just said Bagman's front-page dream?"

"This is also the second news we want to tell you." Fred whispered, "The plan to increase the number of hostages has been cancelled."

"What?"

"That's the literal meaning." George spread his hands, "We just found Principal Dumbledore and expressed his willingness to become a hostage..."

"But the principal refused..."

"He said it was too dangerous in the maze and he didn't want students other than warriors to take risks, so just before they entered the auditorium..."

"Dumbledore, Maxim and your father, the three referees voted to cancel the plan."

"Karkarov looked very unhappy." Fred glanced at the teacher's chair. "He thought everyone was too timid. He also said that this was not the Triwizard Tournament he remembered at all. In the hall and everyone There was a big fight.”

"Does it work?" Cedric asked.

"Of course not." George said, "The original Triwizard Tournament was suspended because of too many casualties. Now it has finally been restarted. Most people don't want the students to take too many risks."

Kyle also subconsciously looked at the teacher's table. Bagman was still talking to Dumbledore. Obviously he also supported Karkaroff.

But none of that matters.

It would be best to cancel the hostage, at least he can save some trouble during the game.

Soon, dinner was over, and the enchanted ceiling gradually turned from blue to deep twilight.

Dumbledore stood up and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in ten minutes, I will invite you all to go to the Quidditch pitch to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, warriors, please go to the sports field with Mr. Bagman."

Kyle stood up, and the Hufflepuff students around him applauded him, watching him, Fleur, and Krum walk out of the Great Hall.

Fleur looked a little nervous and kept taking deep breaths. Krum wasn't much better, going astray several times.

They walked into the Quidditch pitch, which looked different from what they had seen before. The hedges that surrounded the pitch all grew to twenty feet long, leaving only a dark gap in front of them.

"You guys take a rest first and adjust to your condition." Bagman took them to a nearby dressing room and went out.

Afterwards, Fleur and Krum each found a place to sit down. Kyle originally wanted to chat with Fleur for a while to pass the time.

But she didn't look like she wanted to talk at the moment, so Kyle didn't say anything. He also found a place to sit down and quietly waited for the game to start.

Ten minutes later, people began to enter the stands, and the surroundings were filled with excited voices and noisy footsteps. For a moment, Kyle thought he was back before the start of the first project.

At that time, he was also in the locker room, listening to the crowd outside and taking their seats.

At this time, the door of the locker room suddenly moved, and everyone immediately looked up.

A head quickly slipped through the crack of the door.

"Who's there?"

Kyle, who was closest, walked over and opened the ajar door, just in time to see the backs of Hermione and Ron preparing to sneak away.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you." Hermione said with some embarrassment, "We just wanted to see Harry and let him not be nervous."

"Harry?" Kyle frowned.

"Yes, he was taken away by Filch to cooperate with the third competition." Ron said with an envious look, "I'm so lucky to be able to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

"But he doesn't seem to be here," Hermione said. "Let's go now. Good luck to you, Kyle."

"Wait..." Kyle stopped them hurriedly, "When was Harry taken away?"

"Just now," Hermione said, "Shortly after you left, Filch came over... He said that he was taking Harry to the Quidditch pitch to cooperate with the game at the request of Professor Dumbledore."

"After we left?" Kyle felt something was wrong.

During dinner, Fred and George talked about why Filch would take Harry away after the plan to add hostages to the maze was cancelled.

wrong!

In the surprised eyes of Hermione and Ron, Kyle quickly ran towards where the referee was.

"Is there anything strange about this?" Ron scratched his hair, not understanding what Kyle meant.

Why did he suddenly run away while we were having a good conversation?

"It's bad, he's not going to report us... You know, according to the regulations, we are not allowed to come to the Warriors Rest Room."

"Don't be stupid, Ron, Kyle is not like that." Hermione said, her expression a little solemn. "Let's go to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's locations to see if they have fewer people."

"Why do you want to go there?" Ron said reluctantly, "The game is about to start."

But Hermione ignored him and ran towards the center stand.

On the other side, when Kyle came to where the referee was, Dumbledore was talking to several professors with star signs.

"Oh, Kyle?" He looked at Kyle and asked doubtfully, "The game is about to start. What are you doing here?"

"There's something, Professor." Kyle glanced at the others.

Dumbledore immediately understood and took a few steps forward, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Do we need to rescue hostages for this game?"

"You are really well-informed." Dumbledore said with a smile: "We did have this idea, but later rejected it, so you don't need to..."

"Harry was taken away."

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kyle.

"Just now, after dinner, Ron said that Filch took Harry away because he wanted to cooperate with the competition."

Dumbledore's expression gradually became serious.

"That's impossible. The idea of ​​adding more hostages was rejected before dinner even started."

"But Harry was indeed taken away," Kyle said. "Ron and Hermione saw it with their own eyes."

The smile on Dumbledore's face completely disappeared. He turned his head and looked around. His eyes paused on Karkaroff's face for a moment, and then looked at Kyle again.

"I understand." He said solemnly: "The game is about to start. You should go back quickly."

"Okay," Kyle said, and left the stands.

To be honest, this incident did make him a little unexpected...especially, he never expected that it would be Filch who took Harry away.

The Imperius Curse? Or Polyjuice Potion?

Kyle couldn't be sure, because in the past month, in order to better grasp Ludo Bagman's movements, the Marauder's Map had been in the hands of Fred and George.

But even if Kyle holds the Marauder's Map, he probably won't pay attention to Filch.

An annoying, dumb janitor is the best disguise.

He can appear openly anywhere in the castle without arousing suspicion.

Even if he took a sip of the Polyjuice Potion in front of the students, no one would think there was anything wrong, or he could just find a place where no one was around to drink the Polyjuice Potion again.

Kyle thought about it carefully. When returning the Marauder's Map to Fred and George, he took one last look...but Filch didn't seem to have any problems at that time.

If Kyle remembered correctly, he was in his office with Mrs. Norris, and there was no name "Barty Crouch" in the castle.

Kyle thought as he returned to the entrance of the maze.

At this time, Fleur and Krum had come out of the room, as well as Ludo Bagman, and everyone was waiting for him.

"Fortunately, you will miss this game in just one minute." Bagman quickly ran over and pulled Kyle into the team.

Although he said this, there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, as if he was willing to see Kyle miss this game.
