Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 531: There is a ghost
,!
A group of people came to the Hogwarts enclosure, where many wizards were already busy.
This group of people from the British Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards will be in charge of setting up the venue for the final match of the Goblet of Fire.
Looking at the towering earth wall gradually rising under the control of the spell, Hermione said while looking at it: "It looks like a huge venue - I also saw someone casting a spell under the earth wall, and the spell movement should be a strengthening magic...There are also people casting spells on the outside, huh? Why cast a spell on the stands..."
Hearing this, Sean looked over, and sure enough, not only in the center of the venue, but also on the edge of the stands where the audience cheered, there were many wizards holding up their wands and casting spells.
"Looks like defensive magic?" Sean said after observing for a while.
"Why do you need to cast extra spells? The stands are already protected by magic spells, and the professors and referees will also be in the stands. If there is an accident, they will take action..." Hermione said doubtfully.
Xiao En looked at the rising earth wall, and said thoughtfully: "Generally speaking, even if there is a fight between the students, the aftermath of the curse cannot affect the stands, unless..."
He and Hermione exchanged glances: "This event will affect the stands, and even put the lives of the spectators in danger."
Hermione's brows frowned suddenly: "What is the main committee thinking... Although the Goblet of Fire in the past has been very dangerous, generally speaking, it rarely directly affects the audience. According to the information I checked, the audience is basically affected by the sudden runaway of magical animals used as competition events, but the first event has already used fire dragons."
Shawn stroked his chin and thought about it. The last project in the original book was for the participating warriors to pass through a maze full of dangers, and the building rising in front of him had not yet taken shape, so it was impossible to judge.
However, if even the stands are dangerous, Sean is more inclined. The last venue itself will be very dangerous, and the scope of influence will be relatively large.
For example, diffuse poisonous gas, large-scale hypnotic spells, or large-scale illusion spells, etc.
The five teams entering the competition are in a competitive relationship with each other. When you are alert to other teams, it will be more prone to accidents if you are distracted to deal with the dangerous situation on the field.
This is what Sean can think of, a guess about the last event.
A large group of students looked around the edge of the playground for a while, but saw nothing.
Students from the other three schools also came to the edge of the playground, but also did not observe much useful information.
Although the final game is approaching, the organizers did not inform the Warriors of the content of the last game. It seems that they will not be notified until the last moment.
"Let's go, if they don't disclose it, we won't get any news just by looking here." Sean said, and several people walked back towards the castle.
Just halfway there, suddenly, the noise of the crowd came from behind, and at the same time, the explosion caused by the spell also sounded.
Shawn and the others looked at each other, then quickly turned back.
When they arrived again, the commotion of the crowd had subsided, and the students gathered together to look towards the center of the construction site.
There, several sides of the earth wall that had just been raised had collapsed, and there were huge holes blasted by the spell on them.
In the middle of the construction crowd, there were seven or eight wizards pointed at by their wands.
They raised their hands high, and the expressions on their faces were unclear, but they seemed to be arrested.
Because several guardian wizards were going forward to tie them up, and several important figures who hadn't shown up before also appeared at the edge of the field.
Including Ms. Maxim, Professor Rozier, Karkaroff, Professor McGonagall, and others, as well as Amelia Burns, Director of the Ministry of Magic's Magical Law Enforcement Department and International Affairs Cooperation Department, who is in charge of the Goblet of Fire this time, and Ludo Bagman, Director of the Ministry of Magic's Sports Department who has a good relationship with Sean.
They didn't look very happy, they seemed to be arguing about something.
"Hey, George, Fred, what happened?" Seeing the Wesley twins in the crowd, Sean shouted.
The two turned their heads and walked over immediately when they saw Sean. Then one of them put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Hey, buddy, the Goblet of Fire is not normal this time, do you feel it?"
"Of course." Sean nodded.
It's not just abnormal, if you open any corner, there are a lot of conspiracies hidden in it, and the abnormal atmosphere has already spread, even the most ordinary students have felt it.
Fred said in a low voice, "Didn't you see it just now?"
"Yes, Hermione and I left first, I thought there was nothing to see."
George moved closer and whispered: "There is a ghost—"
"Huh?"
"Fred and I were at the front just now, so we could see clearly—that group of wizards who raised the earth wall suddenly clashed. We thought it was the construction workers who had some conflicts—as a result, a leading wizard dug out a strange thing, which was buried under the earth wall."
Fred also went on to say: "More than one, at least three were dug out, obviously someone buried them on purpose, and it was definitely not a competition item - the leading wizard started to question a few people, I guess he was asking about the situation, and then..."
George squeezed his brother away, and rushed to say: "Suddenly there was a fight. The wizards who were questioned probably couldn't hide anymore. They suddenly attacked several people, and then they were about to run away."
"I guess you can guess what happened next. After all, this is Hogwarts. Many people rushed over immediately. Many people surrounded and suppressed the wrong guys together. Well, didn't they just catch them, just those few people—but these few people were very ruthless. The construction workers were injured a lot, and some of them didn't even make any movement."
Shawn followed and looked over. Those wizards who raised their hands seemed to be seriously injured.
Beside them, construction workers who were several times their size could be seen lying on the ground, some were howling, some even passed out, and were being carried on a stretcher for treatment.
Bury something under a dirt wall?
Sean immediately thought of the Goblet of Fire that was once made into a door key. The original glory became a helper for a conspiracy.
Suddenly, a group of people are preparing to play tricks on the venue for the last match...Of course Sean thought of the returnees.
The other party must have prepared some kind of conspiracy, and those things buried under the earth wall should be more important magic props...
Among the warriors participating in this competition, Sean is the only team that can be targeted by the returnees.
The other party was coming towards me... Sean narrowed his eyes.
"What is that thing buried below?" He asked.
The twin brothers shook their heads: "We just took a look at it from a distance, and we don't know the specific content, but they are all put away now."
"What about the professors? They seem to be arguing about something."
George and Fred chuckled, then pulled Sean into a corner.
The two of them handed over a wriggling ear, and said triumphantly: "Improved eavesdropping ears, those early warning spells can't detect this little cutie—of course, the speed is a bit slow, but it should also move to them."
A few people leaned closer to their ears, and sure enough, the voices inside were gradually amplifying.
"This is a premeditated attack. I must bring these people back to the Ministry. The Aurors will interrogate them well." A cold and powerful female voice sounded, and Sean recognized that it was Amelia Burns, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and International Affairs and Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic.
Another female voice sounded, this time the owner of the voice, Sean, and the others are very familiar. It is Professor McGonagall: "There are lurkers among the construction workers brought by the Ministry of Magic. I have reason to suspect some things. I think it is not appropriate for the Ministry of Magic to interrogate them."
"What do you mean? Professor McGonagall, do you think the Ministry of Magic planned this incident?" Amelia Burns sounded very unhappy.
"I didn't say that, I just suspected." Professor McGonagall said calmly.
Karkaroff's shrill voice also sounded: "Of course, this situation should be handed over to the Ministry of Magic of your country—but I will definitely complain afterwards. The organizer of the Goblet of Fire this time is really unprofessional."
Sean and the twins looked at each other, and Fred whispered, "Karkaroff and that Burns both want the Ministry of Magic to take him away..."
George snorted coldly: "The Ministry of Magic doesn't have anything good right now... I think the Ministry of Magic must know about the group of saboteurs who are among the construction workers. They want to get their own people back now."
Shawn nodded, he thought so too.
And, so it seems, Amelia Burns is also involved with The Returner.
He now even doubts whether the top management of the British Ministry of Magic has been completely controlled by the returnees.
Shawn originally thought that the minister and those in important positions might have been controlled by the returnees, but now it seems that the other party has completely infiltrated the British Ministry of Magic.
Ms. Maxim's voice came from her ears again, and she seemed to be on the side of Professor McGonagall.
"Let's keep them in Hogwarts first. Their appearance here must indicate some conspiracy. If I don't ask about the other party's plan, I won't worry about my students stepping into the venue of the last competition."
Karkaroff seemed anxious, he yelled loudly: "Hogwarts is just a school, and the school has no right to use lynching."
"Oh? Karkaroff, don't you care about the safety of your students at all?" Ms. Maxim asked back.
Karkaroff stammered obviously, and then shouted angrily: "This is slander! Of course I care about the warriors in our school. Hmph, don't forget, Schneider disappeared in your Hogwarts. I don't worry about you!"
Professor McGonagall's voice was filled with anger: "Karkaroff... don't you know this kind of thing yourself?"
Karkaroff snorted and did not speak again.
Now, both Hogwarts executives and Durmstrang executives are well aware of each other's positions, but all parties have their own ideas, and the original relationship must still be maintained on the surface.
If the face is torn apart, I am afraid that a big battle will come - neither side is ready, so they can only act under the rules first.
Sean will miss Grindelwald very much now. If the other party hadn't had those accidents, how could there be such hypocrisy and arrogance on the surface. This old man is a good hand in the world whether he retaliates on the spot or directly flips the table - and he even has the confidence to do so.
The quarrel in the ears continued. Burns insisted on bringing those prisoners back to the Ministry of Magic. Karkaroff stood with her. Ms. Maxim agreed with Professor McGonagall. These people should be imprisoned in Hogwarts first, and the other party's plan should be interrogated.
Mr. Bagman is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to say anything in the middle.
After arguing for a while, Professor Rozier, who had been silent for a while, said, "I just received a message from Mr. Grindelwald. Let these people be imprisoned in Hogwarts first."
The scene suddenly quieted down, and Grindelwald's name was still deterrent enough.
Only Sean knows that the map that the other party sent him last time is basically the limit, and he must be fully committed to preparing for the day when the two will become one——However, Professor Rozier is of course on their side, and she will not let the other party do what Burns and Karkaroff want to do, which is definitely true.
Finally, the quarrel in the ears ended, and Burns and Karkaroff could only acquiesce. Flitwick and a few other professors came over, took over the wizards from the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, controlled them and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.
The construction operation was interrupted not long after it started. Not only were there a few insiders, but most of the other construction workers were also injured. Madam Pomfrey must have been busy.
The crowd gradually dispersed~IndoMTL.com~Sean found Professor McGonagall after returning to the castle.
"Professor, how is the situation?"
In the office, Professor McGonagall frowned, and she said: "The Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated more seriously than we imagined..."
"What is the buried thing?"
"It's not clear, Professor Flitwick has already taken the things away for research, but what is certain is—" She glanced at Sean worriedly, "The other party may be targeting you."
Shawn licked his lips: "It's expected...Professor, let someone you trust keep checking the playing field. I'm worried that there will be hidden ghosts among the construction workers. Then, after the construction is complete, no one is allowed to stay."
"I know that, and I have already ordered it to go down—however, the few people who were not caught seemed unable to speak. Professor Snape went there with Veritaserum, but no news was found."
"Their usual method is that they can't ask any news if they catch someone, but they have to watch closely."
"Well, that's no problem—ah..." Professor McGonagall sighed.
