Chapter 223 Attack and Handling
Author: Naive Vertical Pupil
There is nothing to explain in the second game. Although Harry only got the second place, he received a lot of praise because he helped save Furong's sister who had failed.
But because of one thing, Locke was called to the office by Dumbledore to discuss, that is, the body of Mr. Barty Crouch, director of the International Magic Cooperation Department, was found in the forbidden forest.
After preliminary inspection, someone used a death curse on him.
It is also a bit ironic. Everyone in the wizarding world regards black magic as a taboo, but the three unforgivable spells are widely circulated. Basically, wizards with certain abilities know and even know how to use them.
In order to avoid panic among students, both the Academy and the Ministry of Magic have blocked the news, only claiming that Director Crouch could not serve as a referee because of other jobs.
After that, Locke discussed with Dumbledore for a long time, and then one day he found Harry alone: "Can you talk alone?"
"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Rock?" Harry asked while following Rock.
"It's mainly about the game." When I got to the place, Locke said: "Harry, you should have been curious about why your name appears in the Goblet of Fire."
"Of course." Harry Poe nodded: "Mr. Locke, do you know something?"
"I have been investigating this matter with Principal Dumbledore and I have already had speculations now. If there is a definite news, you will definitely know."
Locke said slowly: "This time I asked you to tell you that the mastermind behind this matter should have something to do with the Death Eaters. Since they have done such a thing, they are obviously planning to do something to you in the game. The third game is the last chance."
"Sir, you mean..." Harry also became nervous when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I've communicated with Principal Dumbledore. During the competition, I'll be watching you secretly. At the same time, one thing you need to remember is that if I do anything, you need to remain calm and trust me. Do you understand?"
"But..." Harry suddenly became a little confused and didn't understand what Locke meant.
"You just need to remember it in your heart, and of course you can confirm it with Principal Dumbledore," said Locke. "Next, you should prepare for the competition first. Principal Dumbledore and I will handle other things."
"Okay, Mr. Locke." Harry nodded. He did not fully trust Locke, but since Dumbledore's arrangement was included, he decided to turn around and ask the principal.
The third game will take four months later. During these four months, Locke will disappear mysteriously from time to time and often no one will be found. Even in Hogwarts, he will spend most of his time in the house of Responsible requests.
Wait until June 24th, the third game was played in a huge maze.
This maze was arranged by many professors from the academy. It is full of magic cash, as well as many highly aggressive magic plants and magical creatures.
Of course, most of these magical plants and magical creatures will not directly kill people, so that if a situation occurs, the wizard patrolling nearby can rescue quickly.
The four Warriors need to enter from the four entrances in the center of the maze to get the competition trophy. The qualification to select the entrance is determined based on the results of the previous two games.
The trophy for the competition was placed by Professor Moody. It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that he imposed a spell on it, allowing Harry Potter, who had touched the trophy to teleport to Voldemort immediately.
The four of them each chose their own entrance. Dumbledore glanced at Professor Purpose, who was standing beside Harry and whispering something, and gave Locke another look.
Seeing Locke nodding silently, the countdown began to begin. However, he didn't expect that as soon as Dumbledore called one, Felch, who was in charge of the salute, suddenly ignited the lead.
As the salute exploded, the four players quickly entered the maze. Filch shrugged his shoulders as if he was helpless in Dumbledore.
Hearing the command on the field, Locke found a hidden place and quietly turned into a bird. He entered through the passage chosen by Harry and soon found his figure.
The maze is very large. From the morning to the evening, Harry approached the center of the maze. Watching Harry escaped one after another and got rid of many magical creatures, it was much more complicated than the process shown in the movie.
At this time, a scream sounded from not far away, and Harry heard the voice of another contestant Furong.
After hearing this, Harry hesitated for a moment and ran over. Locke knew that Furong was attacked by Crum, a player controlled by the Soul-Reaper.
After hearing this, Harry hesitated for a moment and rushed over, while Locke stepped faster and arrived at the scene of the incident. He was seeing Krum cast a spell on Furong with his wand.
Seeing this, Locke recovered from his figure and quickly came to his back. He hit Krum's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious, and then squatted down to check on Furong who was lying on the ground: "Are you okay, Ms. Dragul?"
Furong lay there and gasped for a while before saying in a weak tone: "Krum, he actually used the Diamond Spell on me!"
Furong was also incredible at this moment. Unexpectedly, Krum would actually use the unforgivable spell on her.
"I have noticed it just now, and I found that Mr. Krum's eyes turned gray and white, and he must have been hit by the Soul-Snatching Curse."
Locke said seriously: "It is obvious that something serious happened to this. Someone was targeting the contestants, so Mr. Crum was manipulated.
My duty is to maintain order and the safety of students. I have sent a signal just now that someone will deal with it soon, but Ms. Dragul, can you continue the competition now?"
"I..." Furong wanted to continue, but at this time she was so weak that she couldn't even sit up.
"It seems that your situation can no longer continue the game." Locke said as he cast a healing spell and several guardian spells, and continued:
"I have used the Guardian Spell for you. At most five minutes, someone will come. You are waiting here now. At the same time, what happened has been told to people that I need to find two other contestants, and they may also be in trouble."
Furong just nodded silently. It was over. Even if she was unwilling to give up, she could only accept this result.
At this time, Harry rushed over and was slightly stunned when he saw Locke standing there, Furong and Krum lying on the ground.
"Ms. Dragul was attacked by Krum who was put on the Soul Curse. I have subdued him. Harry, I have contacted someone to deal with it. Harry, you can continue the game now."
"What?!" Harry couldn't help but be surprised.
Locke said roughly, and showed him Clum's eyes, looked at Locke, and continued the game under Locke's urging.
At this time, because of the signal sent by Locke, the wizard patrolling nearby had already arrived. Locke could only explain it again, and asked someone to send Crum and Furong back first, and then send a message to Dumbledore, so he quickly followed Harry.
