Chapter 392: The Setting that Makes Things Difficult for People, Don’t Worry About This Shit

"A maze." Aaron said firmly, "But it shouldn't just be a maze!"

"Of course, a maze is the most basic.

There are many obstacles, such as the interesting animals provided by Hagrid."

Hearing this, the faces of the three warriors of Hogwarts were not very good.

Krum and Fleur may not know Hagrid very well, but they know that he thinks interesting animals are generally very ferocious, at least it is 100% certain that the blasting-end skrewt will definitely be in it.

"The warrior with the leading score will enter the maze first, which means that Mr. Gaius has the upper hand." Bagman raised his eyebrows at Aaron, "Then it's Harry Potter, then Mr. Krum, the fourth is Cedric, and finally Miss Delacour."

Aaron smiled far-fetchedly. According to Adrian's request, he had to pass the competition last, and this advantage was of no value to him.

"The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament will be placed in the center of the maze, and the third event is to find it. Any questions?"

"Yes." Aaron raised his hand and said, "How will the third event be scored?"

"Well... this..." Bagman hesitated, not knowing how to explain for a while.

"Is it difficult?" Aaron frowned slightly, "Mr. Bagman, I think we have the right to know the scoring criteria!"

Bagman hesitated for a while, "The first warrior who touches it will get full marks."

"What about the others?"

"Mr. Gaius, the full marks I mentioned actually mean the champion."

"Watford..." Aaron couldn't hold it anymore, he felt dizzy, and stepped back a few steps.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit from the beginning, and it was the kind that he couldn't climb out of.

If he was the last one to pass the competition, it meant that he would not be able to win the championship. If he failed to meet his elder sister's request, he would have to go on a blind date with Claire when he went back during the summer vacation.

But if he won the championship, he would have to pass the competition first. If he still couldn't meet her requirements, he would still have to go on a blind date after returning.

If it was someone unrelated, he could just politely refuse, but Claire was special. Their childhood sweetheart relationship and their respective family backgrounds were too complicated, so it was very troublesome to deal with.

Seeing Aaron's helpless look, the others seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Aaron." Harry gloated, "Your sister won't..."

"Shut up." Aaron roared, then turned to look at Bagman, "This is unfair. I strongly suggest that the final champion be determined by the scores."

"Don't get excited, Mr. Gaius, I completely understand your feelings." Bagman took a deep breath and softened his voice to explain: "But in fact, this is fair. Your scores in the first two projects have earned you the right to enter the maze first. You can be ahead of them for several minutes!"

"Do I lack those minutes?" Aaron roared angrily, but just after he finished speaking, he felt that his attitude seemed a little too much, and then he forced a smile, "I just think that just based on the order of The decision of the champion is somewhat hasty. Maybe the last person to enter will get the trophy smoothly, while I, the first one, will have to go through five levels and kill six generals, and I can't get out after going around for a long time. "

Fleur's face was full of smiles, and she pursed her lips and said, "I wish you good luck."

"Luck is also a part of strength." Bagman said calmly, "If calculated according to the score, Miss Delacour may not win the championship no matter how well she performs in the third event. This is unfair to her and even the entire Beauxbatons."

"That's the truth." Fleur was even more proud, "Mr. Bagman is worthy of being the director of the Department of Magical Sports and Games. It's really fair and just!"

Hearing this, Aaron almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it! I should have let this woman suffer more in the second event.

Others don't know the restrictions that Adrian gave him, don't you guys know it?

It's really easy to talk when you are standing, and this sarcastic remark is simply shrimp and pig heart.

"Okay! Mr. Bagman." Aaron calmed down and asked, "Didn't my sister, the referee Klein, say anything?"

"I almost forgot, she did have something for me to tell you." Bagman said embarrassedly, "Her original words were that there are always more solutions than problems."

Aaron blinked blankly, "That's all?"

"That's all."

"Haha! Having such a sister is definitely a blessing for me in my eight lifetimes." Aaron said with tears in his eyes.

"You're not in trouble, are you?" Cedric said, "If you ask me, the game should be fair and square, and you don't have to take Klein's request to heart."

"No." Aaron shook his head and said speechlessly, "My sister has taken advantage of me. If I can't meet her requirements, I will...

Anyway, it's hard to say!"

Cedric was stunned for a moment, looked at the others, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade Aaron.

This was no loss for him. He was happy to see a strong opponent "eliminated" in advance.

On the way back, Aaron exuded an aura of keeping strangers away, so that no one dared to approach him.

He felt that he needed to talk to Adrian face to face, and he didn't want to embarrass people like this.

Winning the championship without being the first to touch the trophy was too contradictory, and it was simply a provocation to the rules of the game.

Unconsciously, he came out of the maze. Harry was called away by Krum. They seemed to have some private matters. Fleur walked towards the Forbidden Forest, where Beauxbatons' carriage was parked. Aaron and Cedric returned to Hogwarts Castle.

......

The next day, early morning.

Aaron slept until he woke up naturally, and all his troubles were selectively forgotten. He felt much more relaxed.

Adrian must be making things difficult for him, but since Bagman could pass on a message to him, it meant that there was a way to solve the problem, but he just didn't think of it for a while.

There was still nearly a month before the third project, and he was confident that he could find this solution.

If it really doesn't work, ask Adrian before the game starts. She will definitely not mind telling him.

After leaving the common room and walking into the hall, Harry and the other two came over anxiously.

"I'm not in a good mood. Wait until I finish breakfast before talking." Aaron said casually.

"Something big has happened." Harry lowered his voice.

"Eating is the most important thing in the world." Aaron said lightly, and slowly added a piece of fruit pie to Abe's plate.

"It's urgent." Harry continued, his eyes were extremely serious.

Aaron rolled his eyes impatiently, "Tell me."

"Mr. Crouch is missing."

"Didn't we speculate about this a month ago? It's no big deal!"

"Listen to me, Mr. Crouch came to Hogwarts last night, but he looked crazy and kept clamoring to see Dumbledore."

Aaron immediately became interested, "Tell me in detail, I need to know all the details."

Harry nodded, "Krum and I talked about some private matters at the edge of the Forbidden Forest last night. It was about Hermione. He read Rita Skeeter's newspaper."

"What?" Hermione gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"He just wanted to know the authenticity of the newspaper. I explained it to him and he believed it."

"Don't interrupt, Harry, continue."

"Then Crouch ran out of the Forbidden Forest. He said he did something Stupid thing, it took a lot of effort to escape, and I want to warn Dumbledore.

He also mentioned Bertha Jorkins, and he seemed very sure that Jorkins was dead. "

"Anything else?"

"He kept saying that it was all his fault, and he also mentioned his son."

"Son?" Aaron frowned slightly, "That's impossible! Didn't his son die a long time ago?"

"I must have heard it right, but his condition is obviously wrong, just like a mental illness.

He thought his wife and son were alive and the family was happy halfway through.

He also gave Percy instructions from time to time to guide his work. "

"Poor Percy Weasley." Hermione sighed, "He always thought that his boss wanted to train him!"

"Is that so?" Aaron thought, "What about Voldemort?"

"Can you not mention his name?" Ron said tremblingly.

"Crouch said that the mysterious man is getting stronger."

Huh!

Aaron let out a long sigh, "What is coming will come, this should not be a lie."

Harry nodded, obviously he thought so too.

"After that, I asked Krum to watch him and went to find Dumbledore, but Snape would not let me in.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came out by himself after a while, and he followed me to the Forbidden Forest to meet Crouch."

"And then he disappeared?" Aaron asked in surprise.

"Yes, we didn't see him when we arrived, and Krum was knocked unconscious by the sleeping spell."

Aaron was silent for a while, and said, "Tell this to 'Cold' first."

"We have already written to him." Ron said.

"I almost understand the situation." Aaron knocked on the table. "If nothing unexpected happens, Barty Crouch was under the Imperius Curse. The specific time should be before he handed over the work to Percy.

But he can get rid of mental control by his own will and run to Hogwarts. He is also a talent."

"But who can control him? And control him for so long?" Hermione asked doubtfully. Barty Crouch is the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. He must have a high magic power to be in this position.

"Someone." Aaron said meaningfully, "Isn't the mysterious man getting stronger?"

The three of them were immediately shocked and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"You mean the mysterious man did it himself?" Harry asked uneasily, "But he should be very weak."

"What if Wormtail is added?" Aaron asked back.

Harry was speechless. Professor Trelawney's prophecy mentioned that Wormtail would return to Voldemort. It would not be difficult for the two of them to control Crouch together.

"Now all the clues are intermittent, and many things have become more confusing. There is only one thing we can do... Don't worry about this shit."

Three people:......
