Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 461 I Don’t Take the Blame

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Faced with the principal's questioning, Charles said he was not responsible.

His mind was in a mess now. Moody was not Barty Crouch Jr., so who else would do such a thing, and throw Seamus' name into it.

Dumbledore said calmly: "Admit it, and I won't punish you."

There was no expression on his face, only a hint of fatigue.

Nick and the fat monk were talking about it. They had seen all kinds of situations in the Triwizard Tournament before, but never with four contestants.

Charles said helplessly: "If I want to do this, what is the purpose?"

"Bonus? Rule that out first."

"Fame? I have no lack of it."

"To be in the spotlight? Do I need it?"

"A prank? Wouldn't it be more effective if I put Snape, Peeves, or Fred and George Weasley's names in there instead of putting Seamus in danger?"

"I heard that there is a fire dragon in the competition!"

Even though there is a fire dragon set meal in the Dancing Grass Restaurant, those are for baby fire dragons. Adult fire dragons are very dangerous.

Moreover, the content of the game was different from what he had in his “memory”, so he certainly wouldn’t take any chances.

Dumbledore said anxiously, "Yes, we rented several dragons from a dragon farm in Romania. If they died, we would have to pay a lot of money."

Charles blinked. So this is what you are worried about?

The price of an adult fire dragon is not a small amount. He was thinking that the principal asked if he did it, maybe it was because if Seamus killed the fire dragon, he would have to pay the compensation.

So this pot cannot be taken.

"I really didn't do it!" Charles said again. "I've already said it, and Myrtle has just confirmed it. She found that the chamber of secrets was opened, so she sent me to go there. I also sent him to the bathroom, but he ran away when I went up there."

"You'd better suspect Peeves than me."

He was very angry at this moment. Although he had been close to Voldemort, was on good terms with the Dementors, and had tricked Grindelwald into escaping from prison, etc., he was definitely a good boy. How could he be wrongly accused for no reason?

So he pouted and stopped talking to Dumbledore.

The old man and the young man looked at each other and fell into silence.

Not long after, Karkaroff returned to the cafeteria and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Bonham Carter has escaped. I will ask the Ministry of Magic of all countries to arrest him."

Before Dumbledore could speak, Charles said unhappily, "Did you let him go?"

"I heard from Myrtle that there was more than one person wandering around the castle at night with bad intentions."

Karkaroff said disdainfully: "Can Myrtle's words be trusted?"

Charles replied seriously: "At least he is more trustworthy than the Death Eaters."

Karkaroff's face turned grim.

Charles sneered and continued, "Hey, he couldn't be another Death Eater in disguise. Voldemort asked you to bring him here to kidnap Harry Potter."

"By the way, the last time they attacked Draco Malfoy in Hogsmeade, it was to test the reaction speed of the Aurors in the village, right?" "Malfoy was discovered after a long time, which is good news for Voldemort. As long as he finds an opportunity, he can let the Death Eaters disguised as Durmstrang students take Harry away by Apparition or Portkey, and then transfer him by other means, and he will never be found again."

"Oh, by the way, making Seamus a warrior tonight was also Voldemort's conspiracy."

"It would be too obvious to attack Harry directly, so choose Seamus and use the assistant rules to make Harry join Seamus' team."

"Seamus is a good candidate. He is a recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class. No one doubts his ability. He is also Harry's classmate."

"I have a better relationship with Harry, but it can be very controversial because of the ruby."

"It would be easy as long as Harry participates in the competition. For example, we can make the Goblet of Fire into a portkey. When everyone takes turns to raise the Goblet of Fire, Harry will be sent to Voldemort."

What he said made a lot of sense. Even if Voldemort came, he would have to slap his thigh and say "Yes, yes, yes!"

Karkaroff's forehead was covered with sweat, he didn't know whether it was because he was right or he felt it was hard to shirk the blame.

Dumbledore's eyes became sharp. There was no way. What Charles said was feasible.

He looked at Karkaroff and asked solemnly, "Can I trust you?"

As principals of the magic school, the two are on the same level.

But this is Britain, Dumbledore's territory, and Karkaroff was a criminal caught by the British Ministry of Magic more than ten years ago. The confidence of both sides is different.

Now, Dumbledore has the upper hand over Karkaroff.

Karkaroff was a little angry. He was the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a well-known figure in the global wizarding community. He must be unhappy to be treated like this.

What made him even angrier was yet to come.

Charles said sarcastically, "He who avoided being imprisoned in Azkaban by betraying his companions, even Voldemort and other Death Eaters do not trust him, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Britain."

This time Karkaroff felt like his heart was stabbed.

Charles was certain in his heart that Voldemort was fully responsible for this incident, and he was very upset that he had been blamed for nothing, so he needed a place to vent his anger.

It's just the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's no big deal. Without Karkaroff, there are plenty of people to do the job, such as a gardener.

Karkaroff knew that his identity as a Death Eater would make him look inferior in Britain without any effort, but he was still a well-known figure in society and could not be slapped in the face by a fourth-grade student in public.

The most important thing is that only the British knew that he bought his freedom by selling out other Death Eaters. No one at Durmstrang knew about it. They only knew that he was recruited by Voldemort because of his dark magic, and was later acquitted. Finally, he was exiled to Northern Europe because of the bad political environment in Britain.

Karkaroff's face darkened and he stared at Charles.

Although the professorial chair is a little far away from the students, if the old matter is brought up again and heard by Durmstrang students and then spread back, the vice-president who stays in the school will have to hold a three-day banquet.

Charles was a man who even dared to fool Voldemort. He was not afraid of him at all and glared back at him.

Dumbledore sighed helplessly.

At this moment, Karkaroff took advantage of his sigh and distraction to raise his wand and cast a spell at Charles.

At that moment, Moody's wand was only three inches from the back of Karkaroff's head.

Karkaroff's expression changed several times, he snorted coldly, returned to his seat, and no longer looked at Dumbledore and Charles.
