Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 338 The man who tells the truth

The evening breeze on a summer night shouldn't be too cold, but the breeze blowing on the hillside carries a strong chilling aura.

A big snake named Nagini bound Cedric's whole body, leaving only his head exposed.

Sherlock was standing next to the big snake, less than three feet between him and the snake.

Opposite Sherlock, above the man in black robe holding the infant in his arms, there were too many Death Eaters to be seen riding broomsticks in mid-air, and everyone pointed their wands at him.

"What do I know?"

He said softly, while the fingers of his right hand were gently rubbing the feather plucked from Phoenix Fox in his palm.

As long as he holds it tightly and lets the feather spontaneously ignite, Fox will be able to sense his location on the other side of Hogwarts and lead people over immediately.

But if this happens, Cedric will definitely die on the spot.

As his teacher, Sherlock had no choice but to abandon his students' lives like this.

For the time being, he had no other better option but to delay the time as long as possible and put his hope in Hogwarts, who could respond quickly after discovering that he and Cedric were missing.

"The reason why Fiddlesticks was able to escape from the German Ministry of Magic was because you had people help it, right?"

Voldemort did not refuse to communicate with Sherlock at all. To be clear, this was the first time the two of them met face to face.

"I had high hopes for that damn thing, but in the end, it was just a piece of crap!"

The arm where Sherlock's tip was hidden twitched slightly. It was obvious that someone who had been scolded innocently was very angry.

"Harry's name was thrown into the Goblet of Fire. I suspected that there was something wrong with some of the people who just came to Hogwarts this year." He said unhurriedly, "I suspected it at first. The person is Crouch, and the person Moody suspects is Karkaroff.”

"The two of them did reveal various doubts later on, especially Crouch. You can't completely control a mentally determined person. He broke away from the Imperius Curse and escaped. It was at that time that I Understand, when his soul was stolen, his target was only me from beginning to end. "

"The conspiracy against Harry was assigned to another person. At this time, Karkaroff naturally became extremely conspicuous."

"And this is indeed the case. In the second competition event, he made a subtle move and attacked Harry underwater in the Black Lake."

"If the big squid hadn't saved Harry at the critical moment, Harry would have fallen into your hands at that time."

Voldemort made no secret of his disgust at the incompetence of his men.

"I have given that traitor a chance to serve again, but he did not take advantage of it. He successfully proved his worthlessness."

Sherlock's thoughts moved slightly. Behind him, in the blind spot of the Death Eaters' field of vision, a dozen wands floated out silently and were hidden under the hem of Sherlock's robe.

"That man of yours is very clever. He must have escaped now."

Gu Jian/span "He can't escape." Voldemort's voice was cold and flat, as if he was stating a trivial matter, "So, how did you judge that I wanted to capture Harry?"

"Because Karkaroff had the chance to kill Harry underwater, but he didn't."

The wand at the hem of Sherlock's robe has been divided into two parts. One part is pointed at the big snake Nagini, and the other part is inserted into the soft ground, preparing for some kind of magic pre-casting posture.

"And his attack on Harry and throwing Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire were very conflicting."

"If you want to find an opportunity to attack Harry directly, there is no need to let him participate in the Triwizard Tournament. This will instead make him the focus of everyone's attention, making it even harder for him to attack."

"So, at that time, I was actually doubting that since you could separate the actions against me and Harry, would you also divide the most critical action against Harry into two parts."

"After all, Karkaroff was a betrayer. No one can guarantee whether he will do his best for you, so you need another person to give you the truth."

"Who do you think this person is?" Voldemort asked indifferently.

"It was because I couldn't guess who the person behind the scenes was that I came up with this plan together with Dumbledore."

Sherlock said calmly.

"Since you want Harry to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, you have to do it during the competition. If Harry is safe in the first two projects, then your focus will be on the last project, no matter who is behind the scenes. Who are you and what do you want to do? As long as the Harry participating in the competition is not Harry, then your plan will be a failure. "

"But after holding the trophy and being brought here, I can basically guess who the person who came to tell you the truth about your plan is."

"Ludo Bagman, a man who was once found to be involved with an undercover Death Eater hiding in the Ministry of Magic, but was exonerated because of his achievements in the Quidditch World Cup."

"Except for this court trial that basically no one remembers, everyone thinks that he has no involvement with the Death Eaters or Voldemort. He is an innocent Director of the Department of Magical Sports."

"Just because of this, you think it's him?" Voldemort said.

Cedric, who was tied up by Nagini and was fascinated by Sherlock's reasoning, suddenly felt like something was touching his face.

But when he turned his head and looked around, there was nothing.

Until he saw Sherlock's direction, his pupils shrank slightly.

Under Sherlock's robe, there were nearly ten wands pointing in his direction, and the tips of the wands swung twice in a humane way, as if greeting him.

"Of course, it's not just that. He is usually too attentive to Harry. No matter which project, he has expressed his willingness to provide Harry with some unknown help in private."

"This can also be explained as a retired Quidditch player's recognition of Harry, an outstanding seeker who is also British. But in this situation, his behavior is a bit too obvious, isn't it?"

"But these suspicions are just suspicions after all. Without actual evidence, we can't even use open means to attack Karkaroff. Not to mention Bagman, who is still the director of the Sports Department."
