Chapter 577: Voldemort's New Conspiracy
Their recent encounter was definitely not good, Ron's name inexplicably appeared in the Goblet of Fire.
The attitude of all the little wizards towards them has undergone earth-shaking changes. Rita Skeeter's random fabrications in the "Daily Prophet" aggravated all this. Restless mocking.
The scar on Harry's head was hurting all the time, and he didn't dare to speak out about it, and he didn't even tell Ivan and Hermione.
The situation at Ron's place was even worse. The opponent in the first event was Fire Dragon!
Putting Ron in the face of a dragon was no different than murder.
Ivan's place is also not going well, and he still hasn't figured out Barty Crouch Jr.'s conspiracy.
As for Hermione, while she was busy with her studies, she was also distracted by S.P.E.W.'s affairs, doing thankless things.
Everyone talked about these things in one go, and Sirius listened patiently without interrupting.
He is like an elder, listening to everyone telling their troubles.
"Sirius, they must be kidding me, aren't they?!" Ron finally said hopefully, "Tell me, the thing that will appear in the first project is not a dragon at all?!"
"Ron!" Sirius looked at him and said seriously, "I just wanted to tell you about this when I came this time. The first project is indeed a fire dragon. Barty Crouch planned the content of this competition , I just found out."
"Then I'm doomed!" said Ron, in a tone of despair.
Getting an affirmative answer from Sirius finally shattered his illusion.
"Don't worry about the fire dragon, we can deal with it!" Sirius said nonchalantly, "We can talk about this issue later, but before that, there are a few things I must remind you of."
"What is it?!" Everyone looked at him in amazement, there could be something more terrifying than a fire dragon, right? !
"It's Karkaroff!" Sirius said, "I talked to Ivan alone before school started, but some things happened recently, so I decided to remind you a few things, he is a Death Eater, you guys You all know what a Death Eater is, right?"
"Yeah!" said Harry, looking very surprised, "he, what about him?"
"He was arrested and imprisoned with me in Azkaban, but he was released. It may be because of this that Dumbledore will install an Auror at Hogwarts this year, just to guard against him. You know, it was Moody who captured Karkaroff and put him in Azkaban."
Everyone was shocked by this news, and couldn't believe that Durmstrang's headmaster was actually a Death Eater.
This is absolutely shockingly big news, if Rita Skeeter knew...
"Sirius, what have you discovered recently?" Ivan asked.
"It's Voldemort!" said Sirius, ignoring everyone's expressions. "As you know, the Aurors have been tracking the traces of vampires recently, and they are very active."
"I haven't seen anything about it in the papers," said Hermione. "Everything is quiet."
"Fudge thinks that it is necessary to keep it secret and prevent the "Daily Prophet" from reporting those contents." Sirius said quickly, "Those vampires have done a lot of things abroad, and there is Voldemort's shadow behind them all."
"Those vampires?!" Ivan frowned.
Damn it, Keresis never told himself these things.
As the leader of the vampire clan, Keresis originally thought that since he was at Hogwarts, the remaining vampires should stop a lot and hide to avoid the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic.
What's more, Keresis also said that Voldemort didn't believe them at all.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all, and Voldemort and the vampires must have something up their sleeves.
"I talked to Dumbledore about it, and we think it might be the statue he took away." Sirius said, "The traces of those vampires appear in many ancient ruins left by ancient warlocks. Voldemort may have something Plan, they seem to be looking for something!"
"Looking for something?" Ivan asked.
"I don't know, we still don't know much about the statue of the evil god and the relics left by the ancient warlocks." Sirius sighed and said, "And these things all happened in foreign countries, even in America. , For those inaccessible jungles and deserted ruins, the power of the Ministry of Magic is beyond reach."
No one spoke, and their computers were struggling to absorb another piece of sensational news.
Vampires frequently appear in the ancient ruins looking for something, it is certain that this is definitely not a good phenomenon.
Ivan decided to find an opportunity to talk to Keresis. He didn't know what Voldemort was going to do.
Is he planning to summon the evil god, or is he preparing to obtain a more powerful dark power from the statue of the evil god? !
"Okay, this matter is not something you should consider, let's continue talking about Karkaroff." Sirius said.
"You just said he was released that year?" Harry asked slowly, "Why did they release him, shouldn't all Death Eaters be imprisoned in Azkaban for life?"
"It is true, but he has done a lot of work with the Ministry of Magic." Sirius said bitterly, "He said he realized his mistake, and then he named many people, and he threw a large number of people into Azkaban, to take his place. I can tell you that he is not very popular there. As far as I know, he has been teaching the black arts to the students of his school since he got out. Therefore, you must also Beware of that warrior of Durmstrang."
"You mean Krum?!" Ron retorted immediately, "That's impossible, he's very nice."
"Ron, what do we know about him other than his performance at Quidditch?" said Hermione, looking a little panicked. "Sirius was right, we have to be careful, especially at times like this."
Ron still wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything, just hummed a few times in dissatisfaction.
"Okay!" Harry said slowly, "Sirius, do you think Karkaroff threw Ron's name into the Goblet of Fire? If he did it, then he is really good at acting. I'm so pissed off about it, and want to stop Ron from competing."
"We know he's good at acting!" said Sirius. "He actually persuaded the Ministry of Magic to release him, didn't he? And according to our investigation, he was in London a few months ago, when Moody was attacked. During that time.” (To be continued.)
