Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Not only Harry was brought ashore by the giant squid, but also the mermaid Leach.

Even though he was controlled by the tentacles, he still didn't give up struggling, but it was all in vain. In the end, he was dragged to the shore forcefully.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout both reached out to help pull Harry ashore. Although Snape's face returned to the cold expression, his fists that were obviously relaxed clearly showed that You can see the changes in his heart.

"Tell everything you have experienced in front of everyone, Harry." Dumbledore said with a solemn expression. He had no intention of avoiding anyone.

Harry took a few breaths on the shore, first looked eagerly to the left and right, and then said anxiously instead of answering Dumbledore's question.

"Go and get Ron and Gabrielle out first, Professor Dumbledore! They are still tied up by the mermaid!"

While he was speaking, two mermaids emerged from the black lake, and they brought Ron and Gabrielle, who were still in a coma.

Obviously when the game is about to end, the hostages will be safely sent ashore without risking their lives.

The two mermaids who returned the hostages showed shocked expressions on their faces when they saw Leach tied up and controlled on the ground.

"What are you going to do? We have always done what we agreed to do! Dumbledore, why did you tie up Leach!"

One of the mermaids said angrily.

Dumbledore waved his hand, without showing any impatience, but calmly asked the two mermaids who returned the hostages to stay, just as witnesses to clarify this matter.

After seeing Ron and Gabrielle being brought back safely, Harry breathed a sigh of relief and told all the things he experienced underwater in front of all the judges. of concealment.

The Hogwarts students who were originally in the audience were organized by Professor McGonagall to be organized by their prefects after Harry landed safely ashore. Those who stayed here to know the truth were all adult wizards except Harry.

After Harry finished telling everything, the two remaining mermaids shouted loudly with shocked and angry faces.

"Impossible! There is no reason for Leach to do such a thing! When taking this student away, he said these were all arrangements by Dumbledore!"

Except for them, no one else believed in the truth of this statement.

Unless the current Dumbledore is someone pretending to be someone, he would never issue such an order.

When Harry told everything, Sherlock had already arrived in front of the mermaid named Leach. He frowned, took out his wand, pointed it at the mermaid's head and tapped it lightly. The conclusion was drawn.

"It's the Imperius Curse."

Sherlock's words made everyone except Dumbledore Moody and Snape exclaim.

Professor Flitwick, who had just returned from the lake and was using a spell to dry his robes, stared in disbelief.

"Someone actually used the Unforgivable Curse in the castle."

Sherlock used a stun spell, knocking Leach unconscious.

As one of the three unforgivable curses, there is no way to remove the Soul-Impering Curse except when it expires on its own. He can only control the mermaid's actions first.

"The point is that the person who used the Imperius Curse wanted to kill Potter!" Professor McGonagall's face was still bloodless, and her lips seemed to be trembling with anger. "Who would do that? In this castle! "

When she asked this question, and after recounting the complete story, Harry, who had been a good boy and said nothing, secretly glanced at Snape.

And when he looked over, he realized that Snape was staring at him with his emotionless eyes, which shocked Harry.

Of course, he had enough reasons to suspect Snape. Not only was the old bat spirit always at odds with him, but the conversation he overheard in the middle of the night in the early hours already gave him every reason to suspect him. On my body.

But Harry did not express his suspicion. After all, he had told Sherlock all his findings before. He thought that maybe the school had not taken any action against Snape yet, so he had some big plan. Talking nonsense can be bad.

At this moment, Karkaroff's somewhat impatient voice sounded.

"I don't care who does this kind of thing in Hogwarts. I just think that the results of this project should still count, right?"

Bagman frowned and said dissatisfied.

"I think if there was such a sudden accident in the middle of the game, how to evaluate the specific results should be renegotiated."

Karkaroff's face darkened.

"How many accidents have happened since the beginning of this Triwizard Tournament? At the beginning, there was an accident like this with two warriors in Hogwarts. You said it was acceptable. Maxim and I didn't say anything. Now If something goes against you, you have to start to reconsider. Then what value does the next game have? As long as the final trophy does not fall into the hands of Hogwarts, it is an accident. Let's start again. That’s right!”

In his words, he wanted to draw Madam Maxime into the same camp as him, but Madam Maxime did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Anyway, Furong's performance in this event was not good, so she could accept the competition results regardless of whether they were counted or not.

Percy, who replaced Crouch as the referee, also wisely shut up at this time. He had no qualifications to begin with, and he had no right to speak at this time.

Bagman seemed to want to argue with Karkaroff, but Dumbledore had already spoken.

"The result of the competition remains unchanged. This is the rule of the Triwizard Tournament. No matter what accident happens, it will not change the final result. Let's start scoring now."

The results of the scoring were no surprise. Krum, who was the first to return, got the highest score, Cedric came second, and Fleur and Harry tied for the same score.

This is the result of Bagman obviously giving Harry a higher score. Otherwise, based on time, Harry should actually be ranked behind Fleur.

After the scores and rankings were determined, Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim did not stay here any longer, and returned to their respective residences with their respective students.

When Karkaroff left, Sherlock looked at him thoughtfully as he boarded the ghost ship that always stayed on the black lake, as if he had thought of something.
