Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"I think he has been cast a very powerful Confusion Curse... and the Forgetting Curse. There may be other things. The level of the spell caster is very high. That person did not destroy his mind, but reversed it. It’s Veritaserum or Panthera, I don’t think it will have any good effect.” Madam Pomfrey said, “He now fully believes that he is a child, how much memories of his past can be recovered, I Not sure."

"Achieving this effect in this short time?" Dumbledore said softly."Principal, I don't think anyone can do this under many restrictions." Snape's eyes flashed coldly.

"He's running away from something, right?" Moody asked Zoe and Krum rudely, "Did you hear these words from his mouth?" The two nodded and Moody walked to Crouch. In front of him, Crouch was taken aback and couldn't help but shrank himself under the quilt-Moody's face always frightened the first time people.

"He is being chased by something, it must be a dark wizard or other dangerous things... Albus, I think the criminals must be those who are chasing him. They messed up his mind, in order not to let us Get news that will disadvantage them."

"Obviously," said Dumbledore. "It's just that mysterious person-or a group of mysterious people, how can he destroy Barty's brain under the witness of an eyewitness?" After hearing this, Moody He scratched his head inexplicably, but the tone was still sharp."Remote control, suggestion, hiding in dark corners, it's all possible, these scum are everywhere like bugs..."

Dumbledore hadn't been chasing the answer to the question all the time, his two eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and his eyes looked deep through the window into the distance."Nothing else to say?" Zoe bit his lip. "No, there are actually some things worth paying attention to. He said Pertha's name and said that the Dark Lord has become stronger."

As soon as the name appeared, the atmosphere in the infirmary stagnated.Dumbledore stood up: "Poppy, can I ask you to tell us about the people at St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and ask them to allow Barty to be admitted? Maybe under their care, Barty can recover. Chance...I’ll meet with the minister later and tell him what happened tonight, and it’s time for them to take it seriously."

Madam Pomfrey nodded, and went to do what she was supposed to do.Dumbledore thanked Krum and let him go first."Please also explain to Karkaroff, always pay attention to safety. I will talk to Mrs. Maxim." Krum agreed disapprovingly, waiting until his back completely left the infirmary, Dumbledore Looked at Snape again."Severus, can you count as a security job for the third game? Of course you, Alastor, we need more experienced wizards." Both quickly agreed.

Zoe left with Dumbledore.The corridor was silent, with only the faint footsteps of two people. Now that the moon had risen high, the cold light came in through the windows.The girl calmly looked at these deja vu scenes. No matter how many years have passed, the knight armor in the corner still has an ancient atmosphere, even because of the arrival of the Triwizard Tournament, they have cleared them inside and out. Passed it again.

"Zoe, is there anything else you want to ask me?" Dumbledore slowed down and asked.

"Who does Dumbledore think did the suspicious thing that happened tonight?"

"Undoubtedly, it is Voldemort and his minions. Except for a few people, I don't think anyone can do such a precise operation in such a short time. Bobby just thinks it belongs to the Confusion Curse and the Forgetting Curse. It’s not the case, the people who do this are very experienced.” Dumbledore said lightly.

"experience?"

"Putting the mind... to be precise, this prisoner is very familiar with the human brain and knows how to do the fastest and best results, just like when you open a can of peanut butter, an experienced person can always achieve the goal easily. I happen to know one or two people you also know who can pry other people’s brains like a can of raw sauce."

"One of them must be Voldemort." Dumbledore nodded."Yes, one of them, the best of them, is Voldemort. Of course, if Severus delves into it, he can do it, but it will take more time."

"There is another person, Max Siegel, if she wants to." Dumbledore said solemnly, and the girl shrugged."I'm not surprised at all, you mean her hand?" But she was facing a wand held tightly in an old hand.

"I mean, you did it, Max." Dumbledore didn't smile at all. "Calm down, Professor Dumbledore." The girl raised her hands exaggeratedly. "You must have heard that the wand exploded. An accident, right? I mean the bridge of this nose is pretty good. You can't ask others to do the same just because your nose is collapsed."

"I don't want to joke with you now, Max," Dumbledore said. "You are too outrageous."

"I didn't kill him. The source of information is still there. You can continue to interrogate him." The girl chuckled. "Although you said that there is no way to extract information from Mr. Crouch's mouth, it is only because You haven’t done enough. You can use a bucket of Veritaserum if you don’t have enough three drops, as well as a sensation... Sorry, I forgot that you don’t like to use this trick on others, even if the situation is critical."

"Do you know how Pertha spit out the information? You can even use the Heartbreaking Charm on Mr. Crouch. If you're lucky, you can break the suggestion before he hits the wall and kills himself so that he wakes up... Tom is So from Pertha's mouth—" Dumbledore shouted."Shut up! Do you dare to say another word to Pertha?" Even though he restrained it, his eyes were still full of anger.

"You are a well-deserved educator, a kind and good person. So whether it is the fact that past students have been tortured and tragically died, or a lost, crazy Ministry official, you are not willing to hurt them again—perhaps This way?" The girl said with a smile, "But even a sage sipping the fountain of wisdom will have selfishness, don't you? As long as you want, even if you are fighting the danger of being scattered, you will definitely do it. Why is your hand in Trembling? You dare not treat me... dare not to act on this girl?" The girl took out her wand and pointed it at Dumbledore's face without error. "Even if I point it at you with the wand, you will be let in the next second. Die here?"

Chapter 99 The Missing (Part 2)

"Just kidding, I don't dare to do it with you, at least now." She lowered her wand in the next second. "Have you covered the eyes and mouth of these good people?" She chuckled and looked at them. The portraits moving around in the frame, they are just like ordinary paintings in the Muggle world."One of the hotbeds of rumors, a wise decision, professor."

"Don't point at me either. If you are continuously judged that you are hurting me, you won't feel too much, will you?" The girl waved his hand, and Dumbledore slowly lowered his wand tremblingly. "I Until now, I still don’t understand why you want to accept this unequal agreement? It’s better to spit out blood."

Dumbledore pressed his handkerchief to his mouth, and when he let go of the handkerchief, a faint stain of blood could be seen on it. He clutched his chest and gasped for breath. It took him a while to relax.

"I want to believe." Dumbledore's voice became hoarse. "I saw the possibility in your body at that time. I didn't have a bet against Tom in the past. I just wanted to bet once. That's it."

"Just bet on your own destiny for something that is not worth mentioning? You are really the craziest gambler in the world." The girl chuckled, "But because you are such a cold and innocent person, I am I can't see through..."

"Knowing how desperate is the sense of despair that your inaction makes innocent people involved? You are a good person, no doubt. So your struggle is beautiful enough, the villain will not feel guilty and painful for hurting others, but that's just It's just an ugly sight like a beast eating."

"Barty is my responsibility, but Harry will not die." Dumbledore said hoarsely. "Why don't you want to understand? Harry is surrounded by love, and he grows faster than you can imagine, Voldemort. It is impossible to defeat him."

"I don't want to understand." The girl said, "When I was in a dream--let's call it that way--the memories of the past approached me. I woke up little by little, joined the blank jigsaw pieces by myself, and finally became connected. I feel strange to myself... How long can Barbara protect her? The things you expect can't happen."

"That's not up to you, Max." Dumbledore sighed, "I also thought that human nature cannot be changed, so I gave up Tom, unwilling to believe, and gave up to impose more positive and positive actions on him. His influence pushed him to the opposite of mine, and I deeply regret it so far... Maybe this change will lead to consequences that even I can’t predict, but it’s not necessarily bad. Just looking at Zoe’s daily life When I grow up, I will think so sincerely and realize my superficiality..."

"That's why you bet your heart on the beasts in captivity? I remember a lot of things." The girl said, "You do know a lot of things, definitely more than I can imagine now. This is very Stupid, family affection will make people lose sight of the truth, and people will try to beautify their favorite objects, which will kill them."

"But this is a good thing for me. The vow is two years away. You can continue to be her umbrella, rack your brains so that she will not be torn apart by the coming torrent, as long as you don’t regret it in the end. if."

"I won't regret it," Dumbledore said. "You should be the one to pay attention to, Max. If you are willing to face your feelings, you will know what I mean."

"It's only a short distance away, do we have to fight until the end?" The girl avoided the topic, smiling and pointing to the entrance of Ravenclaw Tower not far away.

"How did you find out that it was me?" she asked Dumbledore. "Or did you never remove my suspicion?"

"Both." Dumbledore said frankly, "but at the time I was just suspecting you, as Alastor said, even if your suspicion is serious, it may not be you who did it. Maybe it's just them. After touching Crouch's mind, as long as he says the key words, the magic will start."

"But you didn't intend to pretend in front of me, did you?" Dumbledore looked at her. "Even if you deliberately changed your name to me, you have so many flaws that you can't look away. People who are not familiar with you will be fooled by you; but do you think this degree of deception will work for me?"

"So I can be sure right away that you are the one who did this," Dumbledore said.

"You can also'accidentally' reveal this fact when you explain it to the minister. It's easier..." The girl stopped in front of the door. "I'm here, Professor Dumbledore. Good night, I wish you a happy at night."

She answered the question of the eagle head knocker. There was no one in the lounge, and the flames in the fireplace were beating gently. The girl looked at the fire, with a faint smile on her lips.

Everything is alive now.All the preparations that need to be done have been completed, and the chess pieces have arrived where they should be.

Professor Dumbledore was right. Her behavior was full of flaws, and she could barely deceive strangers who were not familiar with her. At least for Dumbledore, it is impossible to hide the fact that she is Max now. He, even Snape could be aware of her anomaly.

But this is exactly what she needs to achieve.For the whole plan, the most unstable factor is undoubtedly Crouch, as an insider, and they must shut him up.Dumbledore knew that there was a problem with the Triwizard Tournament, but he was only alert to continue the game.But he knew he was hiding in Zoe for a long time, and he couldn't help but doubt it after this happened.

Then what she needs to do is not other things, but to make their thoughts that they couldn't be sure of become affirmed, deliberately expose themselves, and focus all their attention on her.The pawns that have been exposed for a long time cannot be used as a surprise pawn, so you should do what you can do. When Dumbledore and the others will pay attention to her, the young Batty will "disappear" in their eyes, and wait until they finally Turning attention to other places, the plan was already completed where Dumbledore was out of reach.

Dumbledore still didn't know exactly what they were going to do. When he finally understood, the trophy had already been taken away, and Harry Potter was finally about to face his own destiny.

"...Come back? Tonight..." When she got into the bedroom, Luna's bed was closest to the door, she said in a daze.

"Something, don't care about me." She whispered.In the dark, Furong rolled over dissatisfiedly, and grumbled a few words.

"There are so many obstacles!" Harry yelled, and the invisible barrier bounced the spell cast by Hermione."Great, Harry! You have mastered the obstacle spell!" Hermione said happily, "Ten minutes of rest, and we continue to practice the smashing spell."

"Oh my God, it's the first time I found such a tough side of her." Ron grumbled breathlessly, after experiencing the painful experience of being thrown around by the expulsion curse (when he expressed anger, Hermione He still wondered why he didn't fall on the mat), Ron finally got a precious rest time after Harry made some progress, rubbing his waist and watching Hermione practice the obstacle spell with Harry.

They have been doing this for a while, and as long as they have free time, they start to learn and practice some spells that may be useful in the third game.Previously, Bagman had summoned the warriors to explain the content of the last game. They were roughly going through the maze, solving the monsters and puzzles in the maze, and finally reaching the end and holding the trophy.

Although he was lost in his senses by jealousy, Ron was still willing to dedicate his strength to Harry after reconciliation, even as a target flying around (as opposed to the flying curse, they also practiced the expulsion curse. ).The hardest person is Harry, because he must master more spells as quickly as possible in less than a month to increase the chances of winning.He cuts down time for sleep and play, and spends every minute and every second on learning.

But the most laborious of the three is undoubtedly Hermione. Not only does she have to read all kinds of books to find some practical spells that suit Harry's level, she must also master them first so that she can Use his own experience to tell Harry the tricks of chanting so that he can master them faster.

Originally, they had to find vacant classrooms everywhere to practice before they arrived. Fortunately, when Professor McGonagall learned that they had been looking for a place to practice, he allowed them to use the deformed classroom at any time when there was no class. It does reduce the time wastage, and they don’t have to worry about someone disturbing them all the time.

Harry's worries about the upcoming game are almost completely gone because of the loyal dedication and company of his friends.Not to mention a letter from Sirius and Professor Lupin to comfort him. His godfather wrote an enthusiastic reply, telling Harry that he would always be proud of him and that he would surprise him soon.

"Very good! Harry!" When Harry's smashing spell successfully smashed the wooden box into pieces, Hermione clapped her hands happily, expressing satisfaction with the effect.Harry relaxed. The mastery of the smashing spell was the last topic tonight, and the official game tomorrow.But they were too early to be happy. Someone suddenly slammed open the door of the classroom and rushed over panting.

"It's gone..." Luna's hair was messed up against her face, her face mixed with panic and anxiety, she clutched Hermione's shoulder tightly, her eyes moist."What happened?" Hermione asked solemnly.

"I can't find it anywhere, for two whole days, she didn't come back to sleep last night...Zoe, she is gone!"
