Chapter 616 Indicators for Judging Spies
"Come out!" Ivan yelled in a low voice, holding the wand in his hand, his expression extremely tense.
He guessed who the person in the corridor was, and hesitated whether to take action directly. If he appeared here in the middle of the night, there was a high probability that he had evil intentions, not to mention that the other party was already highly suspicious in his heart.
"Put down your wand, it's me, Hals!"
Hoarse, low voices came from the corridor, followed by the same muffled sound of tapping the floor - it was the sound of wooden legs and canes hitting the ground together.
After a while, Moody's scarred face came into Ivan's eyes again.
"What are you doing here so late? Professor Moody?" Ivan asked without intending to put down his wand.
"I still want to ask you!" Moody said angrily, and then his expression suddenly condensed, and a magic eye looked straight in another direction.
Ivan thought Moody was about to take action, but unexpectedly the other party suddenly made a gesture to silence his voice, and then motioned for him to look at the window over there.
Ivan could naturally see this low-level pretense, but Ivan still turned his head according to the other party's instructions, and at that moment activated the protective ring he was wearing, and the magic ring on his wrist was gaining momentum. Ready to go status.
As long as the other party dares to take action, Ivan can confirm Moody's suspicion and launch a reasonable and legal counterattack.
However, the expected sneak attack did not appear. Instead, in the direction Moody pointed, he could see through the window a figure sneaking across the lawn.
"You were so loud just now that Karkaroff almost heard you!" Moody breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really?" Ivan said dubiously. He ran Legilimency the whole time but didn't gain much because Moody never used his normal eye to look at him.
"So you are tracking Karkaroff?" Ivan said tentatively.
"You can say that! But he is not the only person I have been tracking recently!" Moody said casually, and then walked towards the exit of the hall on his wooden legs. "Let's follow him quickly! I hope Karkaroff hasn't gone far yet."
Ivan hesitated for a moment and chose to keep up with Moody, but always stayed half a body behind so that Moody could always be under his surveillance.
Moody seemed to be aware of this, but didn't say anything.
The two of them were hanging so far behind the figure. Ivan, who was cold and hungry, kept complaining in his heart that he had been following people all night.
Why do these people like to go out at night?
Ivan was suffocating in his heart, but he still accompanied Moody to follow Karkaroff the whole time. He was also curious about where Karkaroff was going.
The dark shadow in front sneaked behind a banyan tree, waiting for something. About a minute later, a tall witch walked over from the other side, with an impatient expression on his face.
Maxim? She didn't go back to the carriage?
Ivan recognized the other party's identity at a glance. There was only one such high-ranking witch in Hogwarts: Maxim. Calculating the time, the other party should have just separated from Hagrid. At this point, he actually came here to meet Carkaro again. husband meeting.
Ivan felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and everything was intertwined like a mess of threads.
He looked at Moody beside him suspiciously, and even suspected that everyone present was under control, and then he was ready to join forces to set up a killing trap to surround him.
"Let's get closer so that we can hear clearly what they are saying!" Moody didn't know what Ivan was thinking. He closed his eyes slightly, cast a magic spell on himself, and then called Ivan to come up with him. forward.
Ivan calmed down and took a few steps forward. As the distance got closer, the sounds of Karkaroff and Maxim's conversation gradually came over.
"Now it's clear that we must join forces!"
"Do you think they won't target us if we don't do it? Think about it, one of the remaining three referees is the principal of Hogwarts, and the remaining two are personnel from the British Ministry of Magic! Comparing your feelings, you Do you think they will deliberately favor those two brats from Hogwarts?"
"I could see it right from the time I was selecting the Warriors. They are clearly in the same group!"
Karkaroff said angrily, his words very sharp.
Maxim seemed a little hesitant. She hesitated for a while, then looked around before speaking. "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to cause trouble for those warriors before the game? I won't do such a thing!"
"No, that's not what I meant!" Karkaroff saw that Maxim had misunderstood and hurriedly explained. "I mean we can find reasons to lower the scores of Hogwarts warriors, and then give high scores to our warriors..."
"Isn't this not good?" Maxim was quite moved, but still a little hesitant.
"There are two warriors in Hogwarts. This is unfair! They were the ones who committed the foul first!" Karkaroff said consolingly.
Maxim thought for a while and then nodded.
The two then communicated in a low voice for a while, then pretended that nothing was wrong, and separated and returned to their respective stations in opposite directions.
"What a shameful act! They actually planned to lower your scores during the game so that Hogwarts would lose this year's competition..." Moody canceled the decision after Karkaroff and Maxim left. The effect of the Disguise Charm, he said angrily, and his cane hit the floor hard, making a weird muffled sound.
Ivan also had a headache now. He didn't expect Karkaroff to be so shameless!
In the original time and space, this guy always gave Harry low marks, and this time he also involved Maxim. It was really disgusting.
In order to ensure the completion of the two tasks issued by the system, Ivan originally planned to get the highest score in every game. No matter what happened, he had to be first in a single game!
But if Karkaroff and Maxim deliberately target themselves when rating, it will be difficult to win.
After Moody cursed for a few times, he stopped and turned to Ivan.
"Don't worry too much, Hals. I will tell Dumbledore about this. You just need to figure out how to get through it!"
"I'm not worried about you, but Harry is more difficult to deal with... He is too young and shouldn't have come to participate in the competition!" Moody added in a muffled voice as he walked towards the castle with his wooden legs. With.
"Yeah, I'm worried about him too!" Ivan also looked worried, "I already know the specific events of the first game. It's a fire dragon, and it's a female fire dragon that hatches eggs! Ministry of Magic The meaning should be obvious, let us grab the dragon egg, is there any way you can help him get through this?"
Ivan looked at Moody expectantly, waiting for his answer to confirm whether the other party was Voldemort's internal agent. One of the important indicators was the degree of concern for Harry's victory.
