His sister Fleur was calling him from the shore. John was holding a silver sword, his eyes filled with a chill.

"It's the warriors."

“They are hurt!”

"Dumbledore, what is going on!"

Everyone saw what happened in the middle of the lake, especially Karkaroff. When he saw the blood on Krum's body, he questioned Dumbledore in shock and anger.

He completely forgot who kept delaying and almost missed the chance for rescue.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and just as the effect of the gillyweed wore off, his gills disappeared, and his hands and feet returned to normal.

The mermaids were fleeing, and when they left the lake, John clearly saw that the mermaids were attacking the hostages.

The pattern on his shoes lit up and he stretched out his wings, flying towards the mermaid at full speed.

When a mermaid with many bone pieces and a high status was about to leave, a silver sword pierced into its palm.

John descended from the sky, stepped on the mermaid's lumbar spine, pulled out Silverwick and swung it to the side.

The ropes that bound Hermione and Gabrielle were broken.

The blade fell on the mermaid leader's neck. John said coldly, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

The mermaid leader looked terrified.

"John!"

It was Dumbledore who stopped John from taking action.

John tilted his head and locked eyes with Dumbledore.

Dumbledore shook his head solemnly and said, "It is under control."

The meaning is very clear. Maybe the mermaid leader is also being controlled, so let it go.

John smiled and said coldly, "Professor Dumbledore, it almost killed four students, especially two of them were my friends."

"John," Dumbledore took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let it go. I will investigate it."

The cold light on the Silver Wick sword flickered, and the lake water on both sides formed a wall.

John was silent for a moment, but finally removed the blade.

Ms. Maxime also came down. She brought Fleur to Gabrielle and stroked Gabrielle's head lovingly: "Poor child, thank you, John, you saved her."

Madam Maxime thanked him. John shook his head and looked into Fleur's red eyes. He said to Dumbledore, "Professor Dumbledore, I hope you can handle this."

After saying that, John turned and left.

The mermaid leader was frightened and Dumbledore asked it.

And just as Dumbledore thought, it was cursed.

A very profound confounding spell that controlled it even unconsciously.

Its memory was confused, and it mistakenly thought that Dumbledore had ordered it to attack the Triwizard Warriors.

Yesterday at the Black Lake, someone used the mermaid language to attract the mermaids over.

Dumbledore helped it recover, but it still remembered it completely.

The memory of this period is very confusing.

The Confusion Spell caused its memory to become confused.

John was very unhappy with the result, but he could not change it.

"It's the Confusion Spell again."

He thought of the recent events, the invasion of the Star Society's secret room and the modification of the Goblet of Fire, both of which were caused by advanced Confounding Charms.

He didn't stay long and left Black Lake.

Harry was not seriously injured, but Krum was seriously injured. In addition to his ankle, he had many wounds from spears.

Hermione was also affected. There was a hole in her robe that pierced through her clothes. Fortunately, the robe was large and did not pierce her.

The two warriors did not come out at the end of the game, but they were still given high scores because of their noble moral behavior of protecting the other warriors underwater.

The final scores were, Cedric first, Harry second, and Krum and Fleur tied for third.

Because of Krum's poor performance in the first project, even with the high score this time, he was only on par with Furong.

The third project started on June 6.

However, the follow-up of this matter did not end there.

The mermaid incident indicates that someone is playing tricks.

Dumbledore asked Moody to investigate the matter.

The person who can control the mermaid village must be very powerful.

As an old Auror, Moody is more experienced in this matter.

So when he gave the task to Moody, basically no one objected.

But John could never have imagined that Moody's first suspect would be himself.

By the time he found out about this, the entire Slytherin had been searched.

...

Moody swaggered into the Slytherin common room under the pretext of looking for a suspicious person.

"Come out, all of you, come out."

Moody stood in the common room and called everyone out in a loud voice. All the Slytherins looked unhappy.

But Moody seemed to be blind, muttering, "I'm going to search you now. Don't think you might be hiding anything. I know you. Half of the Death Eaters I captured were Slytherins."

Malfoy couldn't stand it anymore and cursed: "This is a very serious accusation."

"Accusation?" Moody stomped up to Malfoy, his magic eyes darting around, and roared, "Don't think I don't know that you are just like your father Lucius, a dirty, despicable fellow!"

"You are not allowed to insult my father!"

Malfoy's eyes turned red. He had always taken his father as a role model and could not stand such an insult from Moody.

Moody grabbed him by the collar and pushed him away, "I know, I know you guys, now everyone stand still, I'm going to search."

He was almost saying that all Slytherin students were future Death Eaters, which made all the Slytherin students look unhappy.

Malfoy clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his eyes filled with anger, and roared: "You don't have the power!"

Moody's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said in Malfoy's ear: "Don't think I don't know that your father is a Death Eater. Dumbledore also knows it, so he never trusts Slytherin, do you know that?"

Malfoy's breathing hitched as Moody went to search a dormitory.

Moody had Dumbledore's password, and they couldn't stop him.

As each dormitory was searched, they felt unprecedented humiliation.

When he wanted to go to the last room, Malfoy couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Get out, that's John's room!"

"Yes, yes, I know him, so he is the most suspicious, isn't he?"

Moody didn't want to pay any attention to him, but the next second, a red light passed by him.

This time, he finally reacted.

Turning his head, Malfoy was holding the wand in his hand. Moody bit his back teeth and said, "Do you know what you are doing, kid?"

"If you don't leave there." Malfoy's action made the others react. They looked at Moody silently and stood behind Malfoy.

Moody sneered, "I will tell Dumbledore everything."

He didn't go in, but turned around and left the lounge.

All this made the Slytherins silent.

They all knew the seriousness of the matter.

Suddenly, someone said, "Dumbledore never trusted us."

The student had a look of humiliation on his face, and his words resonated with everyone.

"We should have known from the beginning," Malfoy said through gritted teeth, "He's always been partial to Gryffindor!"

"Whenever something goes wrong, we are suspected."

"I'm going to tell my dad."

There were still some Slytherins who wanted to maintain their opinions, but when they learned that among the four houses, only Slytherin was searched, they were also angry.

John knew all this when he emerged from the Star Society's secret room.

Even John couldn't help but feel angry.

"Dumbledore is no fool. I think he knows what to do."

The atmosphere was very heated and there was no smile on John's face.

"Moody is targeting us. Why?" He couldn't understand why an old Auror could be so confused.

Malfoy said with humiliation on his face: "What else? He looks down on us. Don't forget that he has been defending the Gryffindor people from beginning to end."

"Whether it's Potter or Weasley."

John's face fell and he said calmly, "I'll tell Professor Snape."

He wanted to see how Snape, a die-hard fan of Dumbledore, would react.

As John headed to Snape's office, he was stopped.

It's Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall had a complicated expression and said, "Wick, I need you to go to the principal's office with me."

"There are some things I hope you can explain."

John's heart sank and he nodded in agreement.

He left with Professor McGonagall, and this scene was seen by other students, who talked about it.

...

Chapter 226: The Chamber of Secrets is Discovered and the Anonymous Wand

John was taken to the principal's office, where a scene had already been set up.

Dumbledore, Snape, Moody.

Three-court trial.

On the table in front of Dumbledore lay a wand.

Snape looked very unhappy, and Moody leaned on his crutches and watched John coming over quietly.

As if they had just discussed something, Dumbledore came back to his senses and smiled at John.

"Professor Dumbledore, why did you call me here?"

John glanced at the wand, but he didn't care.

Not my own anyway.

He thought, but failed.

Because Dumbledore picked up the wand and asked, "John, is this your wand?"

John was stunned, frowned and denied: "Professor Dumbledore, that is not my wand."

After saying that, John took out his wand and indicated that he had it with him.

After hearing this, Snape said to Moody sarcastically, "It seems that you have made a mistake in your investigation."

"I won't make any mistakes!" Moody responded in a muffled voice.

His magical eye moved, and Dumbledore stopped the two men from arguing a second time.

Dumbledore looked at John from behind his half-moon lenses. John met his gaze and felt something drilling into his brain.
