Chapter 406 404. Throw rotten eggs in my head, Hogwarts
Hearing his words, the four warriors including Jon all looked at Matthew in shock.
Even the castle students who were already sitting in the auditorium let out a series of exclamations.
Hogwarts Castle is one of the bets in this Triwizard Tournament, and even has the same status as the entire French magic world in the blood oath made between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
When the students in the castle were taken out of the school, they thought that the final final would be on the Quidditch pitch, and they could be a good audience.
However, what they didn't expect was that the real purpose of letting them out was to make room for the four participating warriors and set aside the venue for the competition.
Jon was of course also shocked. After hearing what Matthew announced, he turned his head to look at Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked at him and shook his head.
This meant that the final match was something to be done in the castle, and even Dumbledore didn't know it, but then Jon looked at Snape, who was also sitting in the referee's seat.
Dumbledore didn't know, but it was absolutely impossible for Snape and the others not to know.
If you want to use Hogwarts Castle as a competition venue, you must get the approval of the current titular owner of the castle—Voldemort, otherwise Matthew and the others will not have the courage and ability to make a decision in private.
In other words, Voldemort's side must have known about this matter earlier than they did, and it is unknown how much earlier.
After thinking about this, what Jon immediately realized was not how many opportunities and advantages Draco and Emil had over him, but a question that he couldn't help but raise.
Why would Voldemort agree?
And just when Jon had this question, Matthew's voice amplified by the Amplifying Charm resounded throughout the Quidditch pitch.
"From the Forbidden Forest to the Black Lake, and then from the Black Lake to the castle, this Triwizard Tournament involves every corner of this school, and the final winner will be born in this castle."
"Triple Cup! The championship trophy that belongs to this game, the warrior who raised it at the last moment is the only winner, and the faction you belong to will also get everything in the oath you swore. This trophy is now hidden In this castle, you need to find clues from the inside and find this last glory. There is no time limit for this game, until someone lifts the Tri-Wind Cup, and there is no restricted area in the castle, as long as you can think of Everywhere you can go, there's a chance that the ultimate trophy will be hidden."
"And the final rankings of the first two games will be used as the entry order for you to enter the castle to start the game. Jon Green with the highest score will be the first to enter the castle to start the game at 10 o'clock in the morning, but tied Emile Lestrange and Diane Rozier will enter the castle at 1:00 pm in second place, and Draco Malfoy, as the last, will enter the castle at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Enter the castle at sunset."
After the specific rules were announced, the audience was even more uproarious.
Because as the score leader, Jon's advantage in this game is too great.
He had to enter the arena three hours earlier than the second place, and even closer to a day earlier than Draco. If he was lucky enough, he might be able to find it even before other people came in first. The Tri-Power Cup is over.
But even if some people feel that such a big advantage is unfair, the rules are unlikely to change at this time.
After Matthew announced all the rules of the game, it was less than five minutes before 10 o'clock.
At this time, the referee from the African Federation had already conducted a complete inspection of Jon.
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
she asked vigilantly.
Of course, Jon never thought that the changes in his eyes could escape such an inspection, he shrugged and said.
"A failed magic experiment caused it to become like this. If you mind, you can ask someone to help change it back to its original appearance. I can't do anything."
The African witch finally found a professional appraisal wizard and asked him to make a rigorous estimate of Jon's situation.
But obviously, even that professional wizard had never seen Jon in this situation, and he couldn't tell why after observing his burning pale golden eyes for a long time.
The time for the final match was getting closer and closer. Matthew came forward and did not pursue the change in Jon's eyes, and agreed to allow him to play normally.
After confirming again and again that he wasn't carrying anything that violated the regulations, it was ten o'clock sharp.
Jon was brought to the wide open gate of the castle, everyone was staring at him, and he looked back at Dumbledore before approaching the gate, the two just looked at each other, there was nothing else exchange.
Finally, he stepped into the gate of that castle without hesitation.
And just after he entered, the door was closed again from the outside until it was opened again at one o'clock.
Seeing that the gate was closed and Jon officially started the game, Dumbledore slowly got up from his seat. Now there are very few people paying attention to him. Most of the students and reporters are discussing the last game At this time, he turned around and left the arena without a sound, and also left Hogwarts Castle, leaving only Rozier as the representative of Wu Pingxian.
Crouch found that Dumbledore disappeared just three minutes later.
He looked at the empty space, turned around and asked Snape.
"Who is guarding the French Ministry of Magic?"
"Selwin and Rookwood."
Snape said lightly, he was obviously also concerned about Dumbledore's departure, but he didn't seem to be too worried about it.
"Remember our current identities, just look after the castle for the master. I believe the master is more prepared than anyone else."
After Jon entered Hogwarts Castle, he didn't feel any difference from when he came here before.
But even so, he clenched the wand in his hand and kept on alert at all times.
As expected prior to this third game, Voldemort himself was still absent from the field for the final game, not since his return from the first event when the castle was attacked by dragons. Did not appear in front of the public.
Dumbledore and Jon certainly did not fail to notice this matter. In fact, many people in the Wuping Line have been inquiring about Voldemort himself since the beginning of this year.
There were indeed some results, which is why Jon and Dumbledore said those words before the game started.
But this does not mean that Jon's side must be safe.
From the first project, everyone can see Voldemort's attitude towards Jon.
If getting rid of Dumbledore is one thing he has to do, then Jon must be second.
It's not just that Jon is the best student in the new generation of Dumbledore's side, but the more critical problem is that Jon made Voldemort lose face in front of so many people in Europe, and killed Two of his capable subordinates.
Based on Voldemort's vengeful personality, if there is a chance to kill Jon, he will definitely not let it go. If there is no chance to kill Jon, then he will create this opportunity!
And in this last game, it is undoubtedly one of the best opportunities.
Jon certainly didn't know what Voldemort was thinking and what he was going to do, but he knew that he had to be more careful at this time.
Now that he can enter the castle openly, of course he has nothing to hide. Let’s talk about finding clues first. He walked up the stairs and started straight to the seventh floor, and soon came to the room where all the students and the whole castle In front of the door of the principal's office in the professor's restricted area, he waved his wand and pushed open the door instead of reaching out his hand.
Looking inside from where the foyer is located, Jon didn't find anything wrong.
There were no living creatures guarding anything here, and when he stepped into the principal's office, there was no magic device that seemed to be activated, everything was so normal.
The furnishings here are basically the same as when Jon first came here, and all the traces left by Hermione's battle have been cleaned up.
Of course, the four relics on the desk in the middle were not taken away and placed elsewhere. Jon didn't know that Barty Jr. and Snape couldn't contact Voldemort now. There is no possibility of these four related relics being smuggled out in this way.
Staying in the principal's room for a while, Jon followed the corner staircase in the room, he went all the way up, and finally came to the tower that was used to store the pen of acceptance and the book of admission.
At this time, the table in the middle of the tower was empty, without anything placed on it, and there were no magic portraits on the surrounding walls, as if the place had been emptied.
After carefully searching the surrounding area, Jon couldn't help leaving disappointed.
Yes, even if Voldemort allowed Matthew and the others to set the competition venue in Hogwarts Castle, they probably would not dare to offend and hide the Triwizard Cup in the principal's room.
So Jon returned to the principal's office, first trying to see if he could draw out the Gryffindor sword, and planned to use it in the castle even if he couldn't take it out of Hogwarts castle.
But it turned out that the blade of the sword seemed to be completely integrated with the entire desk. No matter how hard Jon tried, he couldn't pick it up from the table.
In the end, Jon had no choice but to give up, not even fulfilling his wish to become a Gryffindor sword master.
And just when he was about to turn around and leave the principal's office, which could no longer bring him any gains, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and he stopped in his tracks.
Enter the castle openly.
He walked into the castle openly now, right?
After confirming this, Jon turned his back to the door of the principal's office, and said a word in the direction of the desk.
"Throw rotten eggs in my head, Hogwarts."
This sentence Dumbledore told him after the end of the second project, a strange secret order.
It has been four months, and Jon's memory was rather vague. After all, when Dumbledore said this, he was not very serious, and it was more like a joke, so Jon didn't overdo it. mind.
But now he suddenly remembered this matter, anyway, it came, and Dumbledore would not hurt him if he tried it.
And just after Jon finished the secret order, the entire principal's room was extremely quiet, nothing changed, and no one or ghost jumped out and really threw rotten eggs on his head.
Just when Jon waited for three or four seconds, spread his hands, thinking that this might just be a casual joke from Dumbledore, and was about to turn around and leave the principal's office again, a slightly weak, but extraordinarily jumpy and excited voice Suddenly it sounded in his mind!
"Hi! Hi! Hi! It's been so long, it's been so long! Someone is still here!"
Jon stopped halfway in his steps. He turned to look at the still empty principal's office, but he couldn't find the source of the sound.
"Why don't you speak? Are you looking for me? If so, please move on."
Jon didn't do what the voice that sounded in his head said, but asked softly.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? You don't know who I am? Then why did you say that to wake me up? Stop kidding, friend."
"Professor Dumbledore taught me this. Do you know him? Albus Dumbledore."
The voice suddenly fell silent, and Jon couldn't figure out what was going on. Just when he was about to speak again, the voice let out a long sigh.
"Albus Dumbledore, Albus. Of course I know. You call him a professor? Are you his student?"
"Yes, my name is Jon Green, and I am a fourth-year Hogwarts student under his leadership."
"After he left here, he built a new Hogwarts? The school was split?"
"It's split, but it's not a new Hogwarts. We have always firmly believed that there is only one Hogwarts, and the current castle is not worthy of being called a school. Now we are preparing to take it back."
After Jon finished speaking, he continued to ask tentatively.
"Who the **** are you? Is it the castle?"
The voice seemed to be amused by Jon's question.
"Haha, castle? Me? If you really want to know who I am why don't you come forward as I say? Hogwarts fourth year student—Jon Green."
