a certain scientific harry potter

"Harry, why didn't you wait for him to leave!"

Seeing this, the two brothers couldn't help crying at the same time, and even started to complain loudly that it was Harry who ruined their "dream", but the latter had already left with deep credit and fame.

"Harry..." Dumbledore's complexion suddenly darkened as he watched Harry leave.

What happened just now, Harry obviously saw the loophole in the age line, so he reminded himself by joking with the Weasley brothers.

This child has always been like this, his thoughtfulness is almost unmatched by anyone, as long as he takes a look at any layout, he can easily find the flaws in it.

But, why is he just not willing to take the overall situation into consideration?

If he has been helping me to check for gaps and fill in gaps, presumably Voldemort and his ilk will not be able to cause any trouble at all...

In the next day, due to Dumbledore's double restrictions, only 17-year-old students could successfully sign up.

For example, most of Beauxbatons and all of Durmstrang, Hogwarts naturally has no shortage of candidate warriors who have successfully signed up, and Cedric Diggory, the idol of Badger House, is one of them.

Soon, the Halloween dinner finally came, but the students' attention was obviously not on those delicious dishes, but they kept looking forward to the direction of the foyer, waiting for the exciting moment.

"Okay, the Goblet of Fire is about to make a decision!" Finally, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium became silent for a moment.

"After 1 minute, the names of the warriors will be announced. For the chosen warriors, please enter the room next to the auditorium..." While speaking, Dumbledore pointed to the door behind the teaching staff, "There, the warriors will receive initial guidance."

He took out his wand and waved it vigorously, most of the candles in the auditorium were extinguished in an instant, and it suddenly became dark.

And the blue-white flame in the goblet suddenly shot up Lao Gao at this moment, and it seemed to be the most dazzling existence in the auditorium!

Almost everyone was watching the flames, and many people kept looking at their watches, anxiously waiting for the results of the selection of warriors to be announced.

Suddenly, the flame in the goblet turned red, crackling sparks burst out, and then suddenly a fire snake danced wildly in the air, and a piece of burnt parchment flew out of it.

Everyone in the Great Hall held their breath as Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it far away so that he could see the words on it by the light of the flames.

But when the flame returned to blue and white, everyone found that Dumbledore's face had become extremely dignified for some reason.

"This, this is?!" He looked around in a daze, and finally his eyes fell on a girl who was also shocked in the Eagle Academy.

At that moment, he seemed to be muttering to himself, but at the same time seemed to be questioning incomprehension.

"Hermione Granger...a champion of Hogwarts?"

The first warrior was freshly released, but there was no applause at all in the auditorium, only a gradually spreading noise.

The students whispering to each other cast all kinds of eyes on Hermione, some of them were dissatisfied, some were envious, but most of them were doubts.

This doubt lingered in the hearts of almost everyone. Everyone didn't understand, as a little wizard just over 15 years old, what kind of means did Hermione use to 'cheat' to successfully break through the age limit set by Dumbledore!

And at this moment, even Hermione herself was stunned, she slumped on the chair stiffly, her brown eyes widened, as if she had lost all her ability to think.

"Harry, I didn't! I..."

After being stunned for a while, Hermione turned to Harry in a daze, mechanically trying to explain.

However, when she saw Harry's usual expression, her flustered mood suddenly became calm again.

Yes, what do I have to worry about?

If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. This is a fact that can never be distorted, and it will inevitably come to light in the end.

What's more, with Harry by his side, he will definitely turn this sudden situation into the most beneficial situation for himself.

And what I have to do is to cooperate with him with all my strength!

"Go first, I'll accompany you." Harry took Hermione's hand, and got up from the seat with her.

"She's not old enough, why did she become a warrior?" Furong asked extremely dissatisfied at this moment, "You guys should also give Beauxbaton an explanation for this matter!"

"It's not just Beauxbaton, we ourselves need an explanation." Harry looked at Fleur expressionlessly, "Miss Delacour, you'd better not mistake the object of your hatred."

"The key to the problem is not who put it in, but when it was put in." Before leaving, Luna also reminded softly from the side, and just two sentences hit the point.

"Don't worry, Hermione will be fine." Harry nodded, leading Hermione to the front of the auditorium together.

"Mr. Principal, please continue to read the results of the selection of the warriors. New parchments have already flown out." Harry reminded Dumbledore softly as he passed by.

And Dumbledore immediately came back to his senses, reached out and grabbed the parchment, and read the name on it aloud.

"Durmstrong's champion, Victor Krum!"

There was sparse applause in the auditorium at this time, but because of Hermione's incident before, the students' attention was not completely diverted, only Durmstrang's people cheered the most enthusiastically.

"Next, this..." But when the next piece of parchment flew out, Dumbledore got stuck again.

"Hero of Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory..."

After a foreign school was separated in the middle, another warrior popped out of Hogwarts!

The scene fell into a brief silence, and then when Cedric walked out of his seat with a puzzled face, the entire auditorium suddenly turned upside down.

"Quiet! Please pay attention to me!!" In order to maintain order, Dumbledore had to use a loud curse, and at the same time held up the last parchment in his hand.

"The warrior of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour!"

Chapter 620 The eighth chapter is a separate school, the top four contend for hegemony

Three schools, four warriors... On the day of the Halloween banquet, no one in Hogwarts expected that they would eat such a big melon with their own mouths.

After Dumbledore announced Fleur... no, actually long before he announced that Cedric had also become a Hogwarts champion, the whole scene was completely out of control.

Although Professor McGonagall has repeatedly emphasized that the banquet is over and everyone must go back to sleep now, the students don't buy her account at all, and they are still yelling loudly.

On the contrary, the room behind the teaching staff fell into an oppressive silence at the moment. Neither the four warriors selected by the Goblet of Fire nor Harry, who accompanied Hermione, did not speak for the time being.

"Harry... is something wrong?" After a long while, Cedric asked tentatively in a concerned tone.

Maybe it was because he was the second one chosen, and of course it was more because of his friendship and understanding of Harry. In short, Cedric never thought of doubting Hermione from the beginning of the incident.

"It's a little troublesome, but it will definitely be resolved in the end." Harry nodded, "Not only you, but also Miss Delacour and Krum, I want to tell you now...in this room, there is no People once cheated in the selection of warriors. And the person who made a mistake is outside the house at the moment, if you are willing to believe me, I will definitely let this matter have an explanation for you!"

"No problem!" Cedric was the first to say, "I believe Hermione didn't cheat and will definitely support you!"

"Hmph, including Mrs. Maxim's matter, you have to explain a bit too much~" Fu Rong sneered disdainfully, but she did not express any objection.

As for Krum, who had been nestling in the corner since he entered the door, he didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Reminiscent of Karkaroff's attitude towards him, Harry felt that Krum's behavior was reasonable.

And when the four warriors reached a simple consensus with Harry, a large group of people from outside also rushed in at the same time.

The principals of the three schools, the deans of the four colleges, Mad-Eye Moody, and two officials from the Ministry of Magic all had rather ugly faces.

"Why hasn't this student left yet?" As soon as he entered the door, Rufus Fudge approached Harry arrogantly, "We're going to discuss this matter right now, so hurry up and get out of this room?"

"Oh...you were talking to me just now?" Harry slowly raised his head, looking indifferently at the idiot Second Ancestor in front of him.

"Of course I... um!"

Rufus Fudge's original arrogant expression froze directly on his face, but it was replaced by a face full of horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene in the world.

He was trembling all over at this moment, desperately twisting his upper body to escape, but his legs seemed to be welded to the ground, unable to move at all.

It wasn't until Harry looked away that he swayed in place a few times and began to pant heavily.

"Mr. Principal, when these dubious guys come to the school next time, can you teach them the rules in advance?" Harry turned to Dumbledore slowly.

"I will convey it to Cornelius Fudge, but now I also have something to ask you." Dumbledore asked in turn with a sullen face, "Harry, is there anything you can tell me about this incident? ?”

"I don't have it for the time being, but they definitely have it!" Harry's complexion suddenly changed, and his eyes were pointed at the two officials of the Ministry of Magic like blades, "You two, as the custodians of the Goblet of Fire, can you give us an explanation... Why on earth did the Goblet of Fire spit out the names of four people?!"

"This...Granger, I think your question is very inexplicable." Ludo Bagman scratched his hair inexplicably, "The Goblet of Fire will spit out four names, how can this be our problem, it should be you The reason for these students is right."

"That's right! You guys are cheating at all, but you still dare to bite back now?!" Rufus Fudge, who had been frightened just now, also huddled in the corner and kept protesting, while keeping his eyes on Deng Xiaoping. Bullido's direction fluttered wildly.

"Mr. Principal, can you take care of him a little bit?" Harry frowned slightly, with a trace of boredom on his face, "I know you may have promised Cornelius Fudge to take care of this idiot, but if he If you dare to yell at me like that, I'm really going to be rude."

"Alastor." Dumbledore didn't reply, but called Mad-Eye by his name with a sullen face.

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!" And Moody also showed his execution ability to the fullest, and directly cast a curse, sticking Rufus Fudge's tongue and lips together.

"Very good~" Harry nodded faintly, "We can only continue discussing what happened just now if we let the annoying guy shut up for a while."

"Mr. Granger, do you mean that no one cheated in this incident?" Karkaroff asked suspiciously at this moment, "Then why did the Goblet of Fire spit out four names?"

"That's right, Granger, although I don't want to doubt you and Miss Granger, after all, there are two warriors in Hogwarts, which is really puzzling." Madam Maxim also said Elegantly presented his views.

"If you want to explain this problem, you just need to ask Mr. Principal to take out those four pieces of parchment." Harry said with a smile, "I believe there must be some clues on it."

"Parchment... I think I probably know what Harry is going to say, let's all take a look."

Dumbledore thought for a while, and put several pieces of parchment in his hand on the table at the same time.

After waiting and watching, everyone present also discovered some important details.

"This is definitely not the name Granger wrote with his own hands!" Professor Flitwick was the first to yell for Hermione, "Whether it is homework or test papers, you can show it to testify, and the deans of the four courtyards know it too, Miss Granger Her handwriting is definitely not like this, someone must have written her name!"

"And more importantly, there are only names on it!" Professor McGonagall said immediately, "The parchments of the other three warriors all clearly wrote their names and schools, but only Miss Granger's There is no school written on this one!"

"But what does this mean?" Fleur still couldn't help interjecting, "Didn't she become your Hogwarts warrior in the end?"

"However, in fact, Hermione is not playing on behalf of Hogwarts, at least that's what the Goblet of Fire thinks." Harry went on to explain after gouging Fleur, "Obviously, someone has imposed on the Goblet of Fire. A powerful confusion spell, making it think that Hermione, whose name does not follow the school, is an applicant from another school besides the three schools! And for the Goblet of Fire, it is going to be held in the final four of the four schools. Naturally, four warriors must be selected for the hegemony competition!"

"As for Hermione's blank school, she is the only one who signed up for the competition, so of course she will become a warrior!"

(Ps, in the previous chapter of San Meow, when Lao Deng read that Hermione represented Hogwarts, his attitude was very hesitant, because "Hogwarts" was added by himself on his own subjective assumption, and the actual parchment Only Hermione's name is written, the school is blank.

In the original book, no matter whether it is a novel or a movie, Dumbledore never pronounced the word "Harry, Hogwarts", and always only called it by name, including when the Pensieve was used to store memories in the movie later, it was also written on the piece of paper. Only the name and no school.

In other words, the reason why I said this at the end of the chapter is because in San Meow’s view, it was very easy for Dumbledore to prove Harry’s innocence in that situation, and there were many ways, but he didn’t think so. Do.

If that matter can be made public, although Harry may still be unavoidable to participate in the competition, at least no one in the school will wear the stinky shit badge, and the direction of public opinion will basically be towards Harry, an innocent person, and perhaps the same There won’t be any good friends turning against each other~)

Chapter 620 IX Aggressive, Revealing the Truth

"I personally think that Harry's deduction should be completely correct."

After careful consideration, Dumbledore said to everyone apologetically: "It seems that there should be a problem with the age line I set, and it didn't block all the people as expected..."

"Mr. Principal, you know that there is no problem with the age limit you set!" Harry suddenly said, interrupting Dumbledore's apology, "The only loophole, hasn't it been filled?"

"Harry?" Dumbledore looked at Harry with deep eyes, but found that the other party's eyes did not back down at all.

This let him know that Harry had seen through his thoughts, and decided to confront him tit for tat!

"Mr. Principal's age line cannot be wrong. What happened in the auditorium this morning can prove that even if it is only a few months away from the age of 17, it will all be blocked from the age line. And currently in the school hospital Inside, there are already several students who were countered by magic because of cheating."

Harry said lightly about what happened in the morning, but his tone gradually became serious: "In addition, there is no doubt that this is not a simple cheating incident, but a well-planned conspiracy! Because of that level of Students who haven't graduated will never be able to cast the Confusion Curse!"

"Harry, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but this is not what we should focus on now." Dumbledore shook his head quietly, "No matter how we try to trace the cause and effect, the conclusion of this matter is impossible. Changed... The four of them can only participate in the competition at the same time, this is a contract that cannot be changed! Mr. Bagman must know about this."

"Ah... probably that's right." Ludo Bagman nodded hurriedly, "Although those regulations, I... But in short, once selected by the Goblet of Fire, you must participate in the competition."

"Whether or not to participate in the competition is a matter for later, what I want to know now is the truth of the matter!" Harry retorted immediately, "Knowing the truth, maybe there is no way to change the result that they have to compete at the same time, but it can give them A justice, and an explanation to all those who doubted this matter! And if the investigation is stopped now, then one of Hermione or Cedric will definitely face overwhelming suspicion and accusations in the future!"

In other words, Harry is like a mirror in his heart. He knows who Lao Deng wants to protect, so he will not let go of such a good opportunity, and must investigate this matter to the end!

"But we don't have any clues at all now!" Harry's aggressive attitude made Dumbledore frown slightly, "Also...Harry, have you forgotten that the student who can cast that confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire is you ?!"

"However, I stayed in the janitor's hut last night, and the trajectory of my actions during the day is also clear today. I don't have time to commit crimes at all. Besides, Mr. Principal, have you forgotten that recently the school was on guard against a fugitive? , specially placed looking glasses in many corners of the auditorium, if someone with malicious intentions really approached the Goblet of Fire, the alarm of the looking glass would have sounded long ago!"

"You two, can you stop arguing for now?" Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the old and the young was getting stronger, Madam Maxim hurriedly dissuaded, "But Dumbledore, I personally support Mr. Granger We also hope to find out the truth of this matter, which is very important to us."

"Madam Maxim, if possible, I would naturally want to continue to investigate, but we don't have a clue now, do we?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"If there is no clue in the forward investigation, then we should use the method of elimination." Harry continued at this time, "I have basically proved that from last night until now, the Goblet of Fire is unlikely to be destroyed by anyone with ulterior motives." Touching. Then excluding the fact that this accident happened in the school, there is only one possibility... before the Goblet of Fire was sent to Hogwarts, someone tampered with it!"

After saying this, Harry fixed his eyes on Ludo Bagman and Rufus Fudge who couldn't speak, and Dumbledore frowned for a moment.

Sure enough, the reason why Harry tried to find out the so-called truth by force was not to seek justice at all, he just wanted to take the opportunity to continue to suppress the British Ministry of Magic!

"I see." Karkaroff seemed to understand something at this time, "No wonder Mr. Granger questioned these two officials from the very beginning, it turned out that he had already seen that the Goblet of Fire had already appeared before it was sent to the school. Problem!"

"No...it's impossible!" Ludo Bagman panicked all of a sudden, "Rufus and I rushed to Hogwarts immediately after receiving the Goblet of Fire, and there was no... No one has touched it at all, so how could it be tampered with on the road? And..."

He pointed at Harry in a panic: "And didn't Dumbledore also say that Harry Granger can also cast the Confusion Curse, so it's obvious that he is cheating!"

"I said before that I didn't. To prove it, I don't mind handing over my memory or even using Veritaserum to identify it. But what about you, Mr. Bagman... dare you drink Veritaserum and answer again My previous question?" Harry looked at Ludo Bagman coldly, his eyes full of aggressiveness, "If you dare to nod, I can ask Professor Snape to provide Veritaserum now!"

"Absurd...absurd! This is simply too absurd!" Ludo Bagman shook his head in protest, "Mr. Granger, you are threatening an official of the Ministry of Magic! No...you can't do this, Dumbledore , you also take care of your own students!"
