"Where did Jon Green get 180 points!"
The first person to question this was Boster.
The smile on his face was the first to froze, and the first to react among all the people, and he almost couldn't resist interrupting Matthew on the spot.
On the shore, the students in the castle also stared at Matthew, and when they heard someone leading the question, they also yelled.
"That's right! Jon Green scored 100 points in the first game, and now he has 50 points in this game. There is no 180 points in total!"
"Did Mr. Graves miscalculate?"
"Such a simple addition is not intentional, is it?"
Listening to such doubts, Matthew just put down the parchment in his hand, and he calmly stared at everyone and said.
"Jon Green's score of 50 points in this game is not wrong, but he didn't just get 100 points in the first event."
"There were no students around at the time, but we were all there! He was the one who found the most golden snitches. He ranked first and got 70 points, and the second came back from the Forbidden Forest to get 30 points. Isn't that 100 points or something? ! You announced it in front of all the referees!"
Boster couldn't bear it anymore. He seemed to sense some kind of conspiracy. Matthew probably wanted to turn black and white together with Dumbledore. The result of the second project could not be changed under the eyes of everyone. Then Just start with the first project.
He shouted, turning his head to look at Snape.
"You were there at that time, right? Say something, Snape! They are cheating!"
Snape only responded with an indifferent look, and did say something, but it was for him.
"Incurably stupid."
After speaking, he nodded to Matthew, as if he had greeted him, turned around and walked towards the castle under everyone's puzzled gaze.
Naturally, none of the students surrounding him dared to stop him, and they all hurriedly opened a passage for their vice principal to pass through.
Burstrode didn't react at first, he froze on the spot, and the expression on his face became distorted only after Snape had walked away far away.
"What does he mean? How dare he scold me like that! Scold like that!"
The expression on Matthew's face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, and he continued what he hadn't finished speaking just now.
"I think you may have forgotten, Mr. Bird. After the first competition event, the referee team launched an investigation into the problem of the dragon disaster at that time. Although there were no clues and results in the end, the compensation for Jon Green was At that time, all the referees, including the headmaster of Hogwarts Castle, agreed, and this compensation was based on his first event plus 30 points."
The distortion on Boster's face froze in an instant.
When this matter was confirmed, he was naturally notified, but he didn't care about it at the time, thinking that Jon was already the first in the first project, and adding points to him would not affect anything.
But it wasn't until the second event was over that he came back to his senses at this time. The scores of the first two events were added to calculate the ranking before it would have an impact on the third event.
That is to say, the 30 points added to Jon at the beginning are actually very important, basically ensuring his invincibility!
No wonder he could go ashore without changing his face after only harvesting one pearl, and he also showed no concern for the results of Emil and Draco.
In fact, even if Jon doesn’t go looking for pearls at all, as long as he returns immediately after entering the water, and gets the guaranteed 50 points, it is tantamount to winning!
As for whether the 30 points compensated to him were justified, this was something Voldemort agreed to, and it was impossible for Boster to express any objection to this.
So the situation is already doomed.
And he is still like a clown, still questioning Dumbledore's collusion with the referees to cheat, and even let Snape speak?
At a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, Bulstrode blushed, because all the students were looking at him at this moment, and Snape left without a sound. The headmaster answered whether the news was true or not.
"Yes, there is such a thing!"
Bost almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Matthew looked away from him. From the beginning, he couldn't understand how the vice principal could be so happy.
Students around don't understand how the score of the first item is calculated, don't you understand it too?
It really confirmed what Snape said before he left, it was so stupid that there was no cure.
At this time, Emir felt as if he had been poured cold water on his whole body, and his whole body sank down.
Jon not only notified the referees when he added points, but the players below also knew about it. It’s just that they had already recognized Jon’s first one at that time, so they didn’t think it was a big deal.
But when the two competition events are completely over, the total points are added up, and this advantage is completely reflected.
After the students in the castle heard the confirmation from Boster, no one showed the slightest smile on their faces.
The expressions on their faces can even be a little embarrassing, like the embarrassment of a group of ducks bringing swan eggs back to their nests, but being publicly pointed out that ducks are ducks and cannot lay swan eggs.
As for George Hermione and the others, after Jon confirmed that the total score was the first, no one cheered.
As if things were supposed to be like this, the cheers of the students in the castle did not make sense to them.
In front of everyone, Matthew finally asked again.
"Anyone have any questions about the total score for the first two items?"
The scene became extremely quiet. Now every point scored by the four warriors is traceable and complies with the rules. Of course, no one will have any problems.
At this time, Matthew also heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter what, the first two games finally passed safely. As for the abnormality in the game under the Black Lake, it is probably the same as the dragon disaster in the first game. It can only be a mess.
"Then, I announce that the third match will start at 10 am on April 12th this year, and the specific rules will be made public that day."
When Matthew finishes saying this, it means that today's game is completely over.
Little Barty watched this scene condescendingly from the tower of the castle.
As for the result of this game, he had already determined it before it even started, so there was no need to watch it at all.
Only an idiot like Boster would have any illusions about the final result of the game. As long as he counted Jon's points in the first game, he wouldn't be so unconscious.
After returning to the castle, Snape did not go to his office, but also came to this tower and stood beside Barty Jr.
"There was an accident during the game."
"Can you be sure who did it? Dumbledore? Or the means left by the master before?"
"I will go to the lake to check later, the specific source is still to be discussed."
Little Barty squinted his eyes, and he looked at a girl with long chestnut hair among the group of people returning to the Hogwarts carriage.
"No matter what the result of the game is, as long as Dumbledore and the others don't find the problem of the disappearance of the master, it will not be a big deal. If you lose the first two games, you will lose. The key to winning is not here, no matter how big the advantage is. It’s just to provide some help for the last game, if you really want to win, you still have to lift the Tri-Power Cup.”
Snape was also looking down. He squinted his eyes and was looking at Jon, who was being hugged by George and Lee and playing behind Dumbledore.
"Does the master have any arrangements for the third game?"
"Of course I don't know what the master has arranged, even you so far, I don't know what the last crucial match is. But since the master didn't leave us any news, either he has actually arranged it everything, or"
Little Barty took a deep look at Hermione for the last time, let himself fall over the girl who had a big somersault, and finally turned and left the tower.
"Master actually doesn't care about this Triwizard Tournament at all. The so-called blood oath and the attitude he attaches to now are just to attract Dumbledore's attention."
The last words he left, the whole person had disappeared in the doorway, only Snape was still standing on the tower, he did not continue to look at Jon and his party who had returned to the carriage, but raised his head, looked To that blue space.
The glare of the sun shone on his empty eyes, and it was unclear whether he was whispering to someone or talking to himself.
"No matter what, live well"
Jon was not surprised that the second match ended like this.
He and Daisy knew the content of the second event very early on, and the competition system was the same as the first event. Naturally, they had already figured out that as long as they went through a cutscene in this competition, the first position would basically be the same. Nothing will change.
Making the score bigger may have a better impact on the third item, but in fact it is completely unnecessary.
After returning to the carriage, Jon followed Dumbledore to the principal's office just as he would go to the principal's office for a summary meeting after all major events in the past.
"Is there any problem with that big squid?"
As soon as Jon sat down, he blinked and asked.
Dumbledore's face was calm.
"Fox helped to bring it to Lyon, where there were specialized magical animal experts to treat it, but even if it didn't die directly this time, it didn't have a few years to live."
Jon was silent for a moment.
He had never seen this giant squid before today, but whether it was in the original book or from the mouths of other students, he could hear that this huge guy maintained the most friendly attitude towards every student.
"May I know why this squid was tortured by the Dark Lord like this?"
Dumbledore's eyes showed a heavy look.
"Because its existence has a deep relationship with another founder of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor. Riddle is interested in this. If we say that the one in the headmaster's office is If the four things are relics left by the creators, then this squid is a living fossil, and it has even more profound meaning to the entire castle."
Jon frowned. Even though he hadn't been deeply involved in Dumbledore and Hermione's previous plans in the castle, he could see the problem now.
"But professor, if the Dark Lord really attaches great importance to taking the castle into his hands, why hasn't he appeared to stop us until now? Let's not talk about the runes in the chamber of secrets for now, whether it's in the principal's office or in the black We basically left a lot of hands on these two places in the Slytherin lounge under the lake, and I don't think the Dark Lord won't realize that we have found out his secret."
Dumbledore said softly.
"Actually, not only the Jon you mentioned, but we haven't even figured out what purpose Riddle himself wants to gain control of the castle. This castle should be meaningless to him. , now that he has the nominal headmaster position is enough, but he still wants to go all out to get a complete Hogwarts."
Jon was also curious about this.
"Does Hogwarts really have its own consciousness?"
"Why not?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically, "Gryffindor took off his hat, and that hat became the sorting hat that must be able to identify students. Hogwarts Castle is where the four great wizards came together. The school created, everyone who studies and lives here is a little wizard with magic power, and it should also produce its own standard of recognition."
"How did the Dark Lord make sure that he was not recognized by that castle, but was rejected instead?"
Dumbledore did not answer his question, but suddenly showed an expression of interest on his face.
"If you get the chance, Jon, promise me one thing."
Jon was a little dazed, he didn't know why Dumbledore said this suddenly.
"What's up?"
"The next time you go back to that castle and go in openly, try to go to the principal's office again, and then say a word in the principal's room."
Dumbledore said with a smile on his face.
"Throw this sentence as if you were talking to yourself, [Throw rotten eggs in my head, Hogwarts]."
Jon couldn't help but twitched his mouth.
"Is this some secret order?"
"If you have a chance, you can try it. This is not a mission or a secret order, but an interesting experiment."
Dumbledore seemed to be really interested in this matter, the expression on his face became serious again after he said this.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic now. There are still four months before the final match, and during this period, Salazar has one thing to give you."
