In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 393 391. Betting Every Second
Barty Jr. knew exactly what he was going to do next.

The biggest problem now is not that the principal's office was invaded by Dumbledore's people, but how to hide the fact that Voldemort has lost contact.

Both Barty Jr. and Snape knew very well that the reason why the pure bloods were able to fight against Dumbledore and his party for so long, and still gain the upper hand most of the time, was due to the super strength of their masters. .

And now, especially when Dumbledore is still in Hogwarts, if they know that everyone in the castle and the Ministry of Magic can't contact Voldemort, then no one can guarantee What can Dumbledore, who is unmatched by anyone, do.

But although Batty Jr. felt panic about this matter, he wasn't afraid to say so.

Because Voldemort disappeared more than once for no reason. More than ten years ago, they experienced such a month. Falling to the former Ministry of Magic, all loyalists were caught in Azkaban.

Fortunately, Voldemort appeared in time and became stronger than before, so that all the losses of that month were recovered.

But this time, Barty Jr. and Snape, the only two who knew the inside story, of course would not let such a thing happen again.

Soon on the second day after the Christmas ball, Barty Jr. and Snape called all the newspaper reporters currently in Hogwarts Castle, as well as the three referees from the Federation, and informed them of the Thieves broke into Hogwarts Castle.

"The castle is closely guarded. I think everyone who lives here during this period of time knows better than anyone else, and whoever has the ability and purpose to lurk into the school at this time belongs to which side, even if there is no apparent The answer, but the real answer is already in your head."

As long as there is news, the reporters of these magic newspapers will of course report it, and soon the speech about Barty Jr. will appear in the major magic newspapers the next day.

Hearing what he said, Matthew looked solemn.

"I don't make it difficult for you, Mr. Graves, you just need to help bring the word to that person, and tell him that we are not ignorant of what he did. When it is not yet the final liquidation, we will wait and see .”

"So, what exactly does he want to do? To capture the castle, what happens after capturing the castle? To win the Triwizard Tournament? But does he really want to win?"

"How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Barty Jr. said coldly, "Pretend we don't know anything, nothing happened? That's the most stupid thing, tell them clearly that we have lost confidence, we now What we have to do is to speak out loudly about this matter, let people in the entire magic world know, and let them know that we know, this is the best way."

"Then what does Crouch mean by saying these words? Is it true that someone took advantage of last night's dance to break into the castle, or is he just trying to find an excuse to trouble us before the second match?"

Faced with Dumbledore's question, Matthew also gave his own opinion.

"According to our estimation, if Riddle came to see you in person today, it means that he still cares about the layout of the principal's office. If he doesn't come, it means that he doesn't care whether we know his progress or not."

"Of course I also believe that you will not provoke them to do anything at this time. For you, you can only continue the Triwizard Tournament in a stable way. Winning the game is already the best result."

"As the most impartial referee of the game, I think you should say something, Mr. Graves."

What happened in the castle, Matthew quickly found Dumbledore.

Little Batty said nonchalantly.

"I can assure you, Albus, I will ensure that the next match will proceed normally, as long as the blood oath between you and him is not broken, then there will be no problems."

He looked down at Matthew.

Matthew frowned, he was baffled by this incident.

Dumbledore said absently.

Dumbledore listened carefully to Matthew's narration and finished what Little Barty said in the auditorium, with a very surprised expression on his face.

Snape was silent for a moment, bringing in the perspective of what had happened.

Little Barty's voice echoed in the auditorium, and he spoke loudly, suppressing all the whispers below.

"That's when you already know that the master has lost contact with us. Let's make an assumption. If the master still keeps in touch with us, then you think he will What kind of action will be taken against Dumbledore's party?"

Little Barty's face was very serious, and he stared at Matthew who was sitting in front of everyone.

Little Barty said softly.

Then they exchanged a few more words, and Matthew finally reminded them to prepare for the second game on January 1, and then left.

"But after you said it out loud, but didn't do anything, what's the point? Isn't it more obvious that we don't have enough confidence, and we are just being aggressive?"

Snape's answer made Barty Jr. verify that he was not some brainless idiot.

He didn't explicitly mention anyone's name, but as long as he carefully observed who was missing on the scene, he knew who Barty Jr. was scolding.

Little Barty looked at Snape with great interest.

"But he's got someone here now, and it's still Matthew Graves."

"Master will not do anything to Dumbledore or his students."

"I'm betting. The cause of this incident is what we started to plan, and everything Dumbledore and the others did was just following the trend. I'm betting that they had no way to carry out more critical plans at yesterday's ball, and could only follow our plan." The plan was extended. And we found in the principal's room that none of those four things were missing, didn't we?"

"I have absolutely no idea what happened last night."

Snape obviously didn't agree much.

Dumbledore smiled just in time.

"How did you come to such a conclusion?"

"But it is with the ball that is given for this game that they commit this vile deed!"

The office fell into silence again.

As Barty Jr.'s words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Matthew.

"This is undoubtedly a blatant violation of the rules and order of the Triwizard Tournament. Regarding this game, we generously invited some people to come in, but this did not influence those people's wolfish ambitions, just like the owner opened the door and was enthusiastic. It’s like entertaining a group of thieves, they seem to be sitting honestly in the seats we prepared for them, but in fact, they have already visited the whole room and stole the property belonging to the owner.”

"Maybe not before, but now that Beauxbaton and the Castle Warriors are all behind in terms of scores, no one can guarantee whether he has changed his mind."

No one could answer his question, and the air fell into silence again.

After saying these words, Barty Jr. left the auditorium, and Snape followed beside him, frowning too.

Dumbledore showed a thoughtful expression.

"From now on, the moment we know the owner is out of contact, every second we are risking, it makes no difference."

"Of course I trust your assurance."

"You can hide from Dumbledore by doing this?"

Slytherin took up his words calmly.

"I have explained this to my master. He is dismissive of what these thieves have done, but the master can not care, but we people cannot ignore it."

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly.

Matthew fully trusted Dumbledore's words.

"So our current reaction is the most correct. To speak out loudly and let everyone know that Dumbledore will at least suffer from public opinion, but we will not take any clear countermeasures against them. Only we I know it is because we can no longer contact the master, but in the eyes of other people, they will not think of this at all. They will only think that the master is still the same as before, and swallowed this breath in order to continue the Triwizard Tournament. "

Dumbledore nodded approvingly, and behind him, all the principals nodded in agreement.

"No matter what it is, I don't think they will do anything to affect the next game. You know, Albus, he attaches so much importance to the Triwizard Tournament, and he will definitely not give up halfway like this."

"So you can be sure that what Dumbledore asked people to do in the principal's room did not touch the master's bottom line?"

"You're taking a risk." Snape gave him a deep look.

"The master attaches great importance to this Triwizard Tournament. Everything he did before was to make way for this game, and now it is only a few days before the start of the second event. As long as nothing happens that touches his bottom line, Then he'll just look the other way and let the game go on."

"Is this the result we waited for?"

"I am the referee of the Triwizard Tournament, not the referee of the two of you fighting. Now there are still four days before the start of the second event. Anything that happens between you has nothing to do with us."

But in fact, such information that has not been officially confirmed did not cause much disturbance in the magic world, because the day the newspaper was published was already December 12th, and there were only three days before the start of the second event of the Triwizard Tournament. time.

Compared to someone breaking into Hogwarts Castle, more people paid more attention to the progress of the game.

Under such circumstances, the first day of 1995 came, and the second event of the Triwizard Tournament was also on the grass by the Black Lake, and Matthew officially announced the specific rules.
