Chapter 587: Goblet of fire
They walked all the way to the high platform, shook hands with Dumbledore, and then sat on the teacher\'s bench without attracting too many people\'s attention.
But Ivan was obviously the exception, staring at them when the two came in.
"Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch, what are they doing here?" Harry also glanced strangely there.
"Which of them is Crouch?" Ivan asked.
He remembered that in the original time and space, Barty Crouch was controlled by the Imperius curse released by Voldemort himself. In the current situation of all wireless cables, Crouch may be a good breakthrough!
"The tall, thin and thin man with gray hair is Crouch, and the other is Ludo Bagman!"
It was not Harry that explained to Ivan, but Ron. He finally moved his gaze away from Furong, probably because Furong hadn\'t responded to his affectionate gaze for so long.
Ivan nodded and looked at the faculty seat again. At this time, Crouch was sitting beside Dumbledore and chatting with the old professor very happily, almost nothing strange on the surface.
However, Ivan knew that the Imperius Curse could control a wizard almost perfectly, so that his words and deeds were the same as usual.
There are only two flaws in this magic!
First, it will be noticed by the clever Master Panthera, as long as you search the other\'s memory, you can find something wrong.
The second is that wizards with strong willpower may break free of the spell on their own. For example, Barty Crouch and his son in the original time and space have successfully achieved this!
The reason why I can understand it so comprehensively is because Ivan had studied the Imperius Curse for a period of time in order to control Nott when he was in Knockturn Alley.
The first flaw, in Ivan\'s opinion, cannot be solved at all. Fortunately, the number of psychic wizards is scarce, as long as he controls Nott\'s house to reduce going out.
It’s easy to get rid of it by yourself. In order to prevent Nott from getting out of trouble, Ivant arranged for two werewolf wizards to stare at him at all times and regularly strengthen Nott’s Imperius Curse.
Thinking about this, Ivan quickly got into trouble again. Although he suspected that Crouch was an undercover undercover under Voldemort\'s control, he did not have enough evidence to prove him.
Knowing that Crouch is the head of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, with a high position and a reputation for being upright, Dumbledore has a high degree of trust in him.
And with his own butterfly, the real Moody has appeared in the school. Whether Crouch is controlled by Voldemort like the original time and space is unknown... If you make a mistake, it is no joke!
The power of Imperius is that Voldemort may control anyone in this school!
The only solution is for Dumbledore in the auditorium to read everyone\'s memory with the idea of dementia, and to distinguish who are normal people and which are controlled undercover agents.
It\'s just that according to the old professor\'s character, it is obviously impossible to do so without a last resort...
Ivan kind of wanted to distinguish by himself, but his panic was far from reaching such a level!
He estimated that at least he would have to raise his mind to level six in order to explore the minds of most people without knowing it.
Just as Ivan was thinking about it, Dumbledore, who had had a few conversations with Crouch, stood up and walked to the front of the stage again.
"Everyone, I think you have eaten and drank enough, right?" Dumbledore\'s loud voice echoed in the auditorium.
The little wizards present put down their knives and forks one after another. Although some foodies wanted to continue to enjoy the food, they looked forward to what Dumbledore said next.
"It looks like it\'s time!" Dumbledore saw the expressions of everyone, and he waved his wand again, and the messy long table returned to its original neat appearance.
Dumbledore continued. "Next I will talk about the arrangement of the Triwizard Tournament!"
Listening to the old professor mentioning the Triwizard Tournament, everyone was sitting in full jeopardy, and a feeling of excitement and tension gradually spread in the auditorium.
Dumbledore turned his voice, pointed to Crouch on his right, and introduced. "Please allow me to introduce two new guests to you first. There may be people who do not know them. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic!"
Crouch nodded at the crowd, and there was sparse applause in the auditorium.
Dumbledore then introduced Ludo Bagman on the left to everyone, and thanked the two for their hard work in reopening the Triwizard Tournament over the past few months.
"They will join me, Professor Karkaroff and Ms. Maxim to form a five-member jury to judge the performance of the Warriors."
Dumbledore spoke, clapped his hands again, and asked Filch to take the box up.
"What box?" Harry lowered his voice and asked curiously.
Ivan knew the inside story, but he still looked towards Filch.
Perhaps to participate in this important occasion, Filch, who is usually undressed, tidyed it up, and at least put on a new robe. He was holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewels in both hands, with a solemn expression, as if he was holding it. Like a noble holy thing.
The little wizards craned their necks curiously~www.mtlnovel.com~ want to see more clearly.
Dumbledore continued. "Each item in this year\'s Triwizard Tournament has been carefully reviewed by us. It is divided into three items. We will examine the abilities of the warriors from various aspects, such as their magical abilities, whether they have extraordinary courage and meticulous reasoning ability. ..."
"After each event is over, the referees will give corresponding scores based on their performance. The points obtained in the three competitions are added together, and the warrior with the highest score will win the top three cup! As for the selection process of the warriors ..."
While Dumbledore was speaking, Filch had already walked to the high platform and carefully placed the box on the table in front of him.
Dumbledore drew out his wand and tapped it three times on the lid of the box. The box opened slowly, and a wooden goblet that had been cut very rough appeared in front of everyone.
Dumbledore pointed at it with his magic wand, looked at everyone present, and spoke word by word. "The selection process of the warriors will be carried out by the most impartial selection. It is... the Goblet of Fire!"
Following Dumbledore’s words, a large amount of blue and white flames gushed out from the mouth of the cup...
