Chapter 225 Search and Passive
In the mermaid village, the mermaids lost their footing and fell into the mud.
Krum returned to human form with his ankle pierced, blood dripping from his feet.
Harry was also stunned by everything.
After leaving the water, the spell cast on the three hostages was lifted, and they woke up one after another.
"My God, what's going on?" Ron looked at all this in disbelief.
Gabriel and Hermione spat out, they were equally confused.
A wave of coercion fell, and the mermaids who wanted to do something screamed and crawled towards the water walls on both sides.
"Gabri-"
Furong screamed, and Gabrielle looked up, and the lake that parted was like a cliff.
Sister Furong was calling to herself from the shore, and John was holding a long silver sword, with a chill in his eyes.
"It's the warriors."
"They're hurt!"
"Dumbledore, what's going on!"
Everyone saw what happened in the middle of the lake, especially Karkaroff. He saw the blood on Krum's body and questioned Dumbledore in surprise and anger.
He completely forgot who kept delaying and almost missed the rescue opportunity.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, just as the gills faded, his gills disappeared, and his hands and feet returned to normal.
The mermaids were fleeing, and when they left the lake, John did see the mermaids attacking the hostages.
The pattern on his shoe lights up, stretches out his wings, and gallops towards the mermaid.
When a mermaid with many bone fragments was about to leave, a silver long sword was nailed into its palm.
John descended from the sky, stepped on the lumbar spine of the mermaid, pulled Silver Wick out and swung to the side.
The ropes of Hermione and Gabriel who were bound were broken.
The blade of the sword fell on the neck of the mermaid leader, and John said coldly, "It's best to give me a reasonable explanation."
The mermaid leader looked terrified.
"John!"
It was Dumbledore, who stopped John from doing it.
John tilted his head and exchanged glances with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore shook his head solemnly and said, "It's under control."
The meaning is very clear, probably the mermaid leader is also controlled, so let him go.
John smiled, and said coldly: "Professor Dumbledore, it almost killed four students, especially two of my friends."
"John," Dumbledore took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let it go, I will investigate."
The cold light on the sword of Silver Wick flickered, and the lakes on both sides formed walls.
John was silent for a while, and finally removed the blade.
Ms. Maxim also came down, and she came to Gabriel with Fleur, lovingly stroking Gabriel's head: "Poor child, thank you, John, you saved her."
Ms. Maxim thanked, and John shook his head. Looking at Fleur's red eyes from crying, he said to Dumbledore: "Professor Dumbledore, I hope you can handle it well."
After that, John turned and left.
The mermaid leader was taken aback, and Dumbledore asked about it.
Indeed, as Dumbledore thought, it was cursed.
Very deep confusion spell, even unconsciously controlled it.
It was confused with memory, so that Dumbledore let it attack the three strong warriors.
Yesterday at the Black Lake, someone used the mermaid's language to attract the mermaid.
Dumbledore helped it recover, but still fully remembered.
Regarding this memory, it is very disordered.
The Confusion Charm confuses its memory.
John was very dissatisfied with this result, but he couldn't change it.
"Another Confusion Curse."
He thought of the recent incidents, the secret room of the Stars Society was invaded, and the Goblet of Fire was modified, all of which were advanced confusion spells.
He didn't stay too long, but left the Black Lake.
Harry was not seriously injured, but Krum was seriously injured. In addition to his ankle, he had multiple wounds from the spear.
Hermione was also affected. There was a hole in her robe, which pierced through her clothes. Fortunately, the robe was too big to pierce her.
The last two warriors did not come out in this game, but because of the noble moral behavior of the two warriors guarding the warriors underwater, they were still given high marks.
The final score was Cedric first, Harry second, Krum and Fleur tied for third.
Because of Krum's poor performance in the first project, even if the high score was added this time, it was only on par with Fleur.
The third project opened on June 6.
However, the follow-up of this matter did not end.
The mermaid incident indicates that someone is playing tricks.
Dumbledore asked Moody to find out about this matter.
To be able to control the mermaid village, that person must be very powerful.
As an old Auror, Moody was more experienced in this matter.
So when he gave Moody the task, there was basically no objection.
But John really didn't expect that Moody's first object of suspicion turned out to be himself.
By the time he knew about it, all of Slytherin had been searched.
. . .
Moody swaggered and came to Slytherin's lounge under the pretense of looking for suspicious persons.
"Come out, come out for me."
Moody stood in the lounge with a loud voice and called everyone out, and all the Slytherins looked bad.
But Moody, as if he couldn't see, muttered: "Now I'm going to search you, don't think about what may be hidden, I know you, half of the Death Eaters I captured are Slytherins .”
Malfoy couldn't bear it, and cursed: "This is a very serious accusation."
"Allegation?" Moody walked up to Malfoy, his magic eye twitched, and growled: "Don't think I don't know, you are just like your father, Lucius, a dirty, despicable guy !"
"You are not allowed to insult my father!"
Malfoy's eyes turned red, he had always followed his father as an example, and couldn't stand such an insult from Moody.
Moody grabbed his collar and pushed him away: "I know, I know you, everyone stand up now, I'm going to search."
He had almost said that all Slytherins were future Death Eaters, which made all the Slytherins look bad.
Malfoy clenched his fists, his knuckles were white, his eyes were full of anger, and he roared, "You don't have the power!"
Moody's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said in Malfoy's ear, "Don't think I don't know that your father is a Death Eater. Dumbledore also knows, so he never believed in Slytherin, you know?"
Malfoy was out of breath, and Moody had gone to search through a dormitory.
Moody had Dumbledore's password and they couldn't stop it.
When the dormitories were entered and searched, they felt unprecedented humiliation.
When he wanted to go to the last room, Malfoy couldn't bear it, and cursed: "Get out, that's John's room!"
"Yes, yes, I know him, so his suspiciousness is the biggest thing, isn't it?"
Moody didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but in the next second, a red light passed by his side.
Now, he finally reacted.
Looking back, Malfoy had his wand in his hand, Moody gritted his molars and said, "Do you know what you're doing, kid."
"If you don't get out of there." Malfoy's action caught the others, and they looked silently at Moody, standing behind Malfoy.
Moody sneered, "I'll tell Dumbledore exactly."
He didn't go in, turned around and left the lounge with a thump.
And all this silenced the Slytherins.
They all know the seriousness of this matter.
Suddenly, someone said: "Dumbledore never trusted us."
The student had humiliation on his face, and his words resonated with everyone.
"We should have known from the beginning." Malfoy said through gritted teeth, "He's always been partial to Gryffindor!"
"As soon as something goes wrong, it will be suspected on us."
"I'm going to tell my dad."
There were also some Slytherins who wanted to keep their point, but were equally outraged when they learned that, of the four houses, only Slytherins had been searched.
John knew all this when he came out of the Chamber of Secrets.
Even John couldn't help being angry.
"Dumbledore is no fool, I think he knows what to do."
There was no smile on John's face in the heat of the moment.
"Moody is targeting us, why?" He couldn't understand how an old Auror could be so confused.
Malfoy said with humiliation: "What else, he looks down on us, don't forget, he is protecting the Gryffindor group from the beginning to the end."
"Whether it's Potter or Weasley."
John's face sank, and he said calmly, "I'll tell Professor Snape."
He wanted to see how Snape, who was a loyal Dumbledore, would react.
John was stopped when he went to Snape's office.
It's Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall looked complicated and said, "Wick, I need you to go to the principal's office with me."
"Some things, I hope you can explain."
John's heart sank, and he nodded in agreement.
He left with Professor McGonagall, and this scene was seen by other students, and there was a lot of discussion.
