Chapter 193

"I don't know what you're talking about," Harry said coldly.

"You weren't in your bed the night someone broke into my office!" hissed Snape. "That's no secret, Potter! Yes, Mad-Eye Moody was probably in your star club, too. But I won't tolerate your behavior any more! If you sneak into my office at midnight again, Potter, just wait and see!"

At this time, someone outside the classroom knocked on the door.

"Come in," Snape said in his usual voice.

The door opened, and the whole class turned to look. Professor Karkaroff came in, and everyone watched him walking towards Snape's podium. He rolled his goatee with his fingers, looking restless.

"We need to talk," Karkaroff said abruptly as soon as he approached Snape. He seemed determined not to let anyone hear what he said, so his lips barely moved, as if he were a pretty lame ventriloquist. Harry stared at Jiang Gen, and listened carefully.

The two began to whisper at the door, and Harry saw Karkaroff lift the left sleeve of his robe to show Snape something on his forearm.

If a professional Auror sees all this, then they will react immediately, that is the mark of the dark devil.

The burglary of Snape's office is over for now, but rumors about Harry and Ron's dysfunctional relationship are beginning to spread more widely because of Snape.

Every time the little wizards saw the two of them together, they would immediately whisper to each other, and then give them an inexplicable smile. This state of affairs continued even after the Easter holidays ended and the little wizards returned to school.

As usual, the start of the summer term means that the Quidditch teams from the four Hogwarts Houses have to step up their training for the final Quidditch match of the season. But this year, Quidditch was canceled due to the third and final event of the Triwizard Tournament.

In the last week of May, Mr. Bagman gathered all the warriors at the Quidditch pitch, where he was to tell them what the third project was.

So, at 8:30 that night, Hermione and Ye Ting broke up with Zhang Qiu at Ravenclaw Tower and went downstairs. As they passed through the foyer, they saw Fleur walking out of the library.

"What do you think it could be?" Fleur asked Hermione as the two walked down the stone steps together into the cloudy night, "Krum keeps babbling about the underground tunnels. She thinks we're looking for treasure. ."

"That's not bad." Hermione said, "But I don't have any opinion on this, Ye Ting didn't tell me anything."

"You are already very strong." Ye Ting shook his head with a wry smile, "If you know everything, then there is no point in continuing this game."

They walked down the pitch-black lawn towards the Quidditch pitch and entered through a gap between the stands.

"What are they doing here?" Hermione asked curiously, stopping suddenly.

Quidditch pitches are no longer flat and smooth. It seems that someone has built countless long low walls here. These low walls are intricate and meandering in all directions.

"It's a fence!" Furong said, looking down at the low wall closest to him.

"Hello!" shouted a cheerful voice.

Ludo Bagman was in the middle of the field, next to Harry and Krum. Hermione and Fleur stepped over the walls and walked towards them.

"How, what do you think?" Bagman asked cheerfully as Hermione and Fleur climbed the last low wall. "It's going well, isn't it? Hagrid's going to make them twenty feet tall in another month. Don't worry, your Quidditch pitch will be back as soon as the Tournament is over! Well, I think you can probably guess what we're going to do here?"

No one spoke for a while, and then—

"Maze," Krum said gruffly.

"That's right!" Bagman said. "It's a maze. The third item is very simple and clear. The Triwizard Tournament Cup is placed in the center of the maze, and whoever can touch it first will get full marks."

"We just have to go through the maze?" Fleur said.

"There will be many obstacles," Bagman said cheerfully, jumping on tiptoe, "Hagrid has provided a lot of animals...Mr. Ye has prepared many magical magic props for you, and some The spell must be lifted... things like that, and Mr. Ye changed the rules a little bit, saying that he was going to give you a surprise. Also, the warrior with the leading score entered the maze first." Bagman smiled at Hermione and Fleur, " Then Miss Delacour goes in... and finally Mr. Krum. But you all have to fight to succeed, depending on your ability to get through obstacles. Should be fun, right?"

After that, the warriors observed the periphery of the labyrinth and left. Ye Ting planned to visit his unicorn Larry in the forbidden forest. He would go there every day or two, while Fleur and Hermione followed him. Behind him, they also wanted to see the unicorn. Among them, Hermione was already very familiar with La Rui, but in recent months, as long as Hermione stayed by Ye Ting's side, she would be hostile to La Rui.

Along the way, the two girls tried their best to extract the information of the maze from Ye Ting's mouth, but Ye Ting, who was determined to keep it secret, kept talking to him.

Suddenly, Ye Ting smelled a bloody smell, and there was abnormal movement in the bushes on their left. He instinctively grabbed the arms of the two girls and pulled them over.

"what happened?"

Ye Ting shook his head, staring at the place where there was movement just now.

At this moment, a man suddenly stumbled out from behind a tall oak tree.

Ye Ting didn't recognize it for a while... Then, he realized it was Mr. Crouch.

Chapter 0269 Comatose Snape and Missing Crouch

Mr. Barty Crouch, old, seemed to have been adrift for many days, torn at the knees of his robes, bloodied and bruised on his face, unshaven and gray and haggard. His otherwise neat hair and beard needed to be washed and trimmed.

His appearance was peculiar, but the strangest thing was his behavior. Mr. Crouch seemed to be talking to someone whom only he could see. He kept mumbling and gesturing.

"Isn't he a referee?" Fleur asked, staring at Mr. Crouch. "Isn't he from your Ministry?"

Ye Ting nodded, then walked towards Mr. Crouch.

Mr. Crouch didn't look at him, but kept talking to a nearby tree.

"...Wetherby, after you've done this, send an owl to Dumbledore to confirm the number of students Durmstrang participated in the competition. Karkaroff sent a letter that there were twelve indivual……"

"Mr. Crouch?" Ye Ting shouted.

"...and then send an owl to Madame Maxime, who may also increase the number of students, since Karkaroff's number has increased to twelve...let's do it, Weatherby, okay? Okay? Okay…”

Mr. Crouch's eyes bulged. He stood there, staring straight at the tree, muttering silently. Then, he staggered a few steps to the side, and fell to his knees.

"Mr. Crouch?" Ye Ting shouted, "Are you all right?"

Hermione and Fleur followed him into the bushes, looking at Crouch in panic.

"What's the matter with him?"

"I don't know," Ye Ting said in a low voice, "I think the two of them are mentally abnormal. It is probably the effect of some kind of magic. It needs to be checked carefully to figure out what's going on."

"Dumbledore!" said Mr. Crouch, panting. He rushed over, grabbed Ye Ting's robe, and pulled him to his side, but his eyes were staring straight above Harry's head. "I want... see... Dumbledore..."

"Okay," Ye Ting said, "Mr. Crouch, I'll take you there—"

"I did... a... stupid thing..." Crouch gasped. He looked utterly mad, his eyes bulging out and rolling, drool dripping down his chin. "You must... tell... Dumbledore!"

Ye Ting snapped his fingers, and Crouch immediately floated up like weightlessness. At first, Crouch was a little panicked, but soon, like a child who found some fun toy, he just played in the air.

Ye Ting ignored his movements and walked towards the castle with him.

Then, they met Professor Snape on the way.

"What are you guys doing here secretly? Discussing the next game?" Snape's words were as mean as ever.

Then, he saw the person floating beside Ye Ting.

"I've never heard of it, the famous genius Mr. Ye likes to use levitating spells to make fun of others," Snape squinted and looked over, "Who is that? And what kind of guy without long eyes is offending you? already?"

"This is old Barty Crouch, Severus." Ye Ting reminded, "He appeared in the Forbidden Forest like crazy, and now I'm going to take him to meet Dumbledore."

"Old Barty Crouch!" Snape was taken aback. Old Barty Crouch was an old rival of Voldemort and the Death Eaters in the past. If it wasn't for his own son becoming a Death Eater, he would almost have been able to Being the Minister of Magic, what happened to make such a man crazy?
