Chapter 227: Hibiscus A Went Up, Old Crouch Died (Please Subscribe!)
"Thanks!"
Fleur catches Gabriel and thanks Zicomo again.
Zicomo waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, let's go up and talk about it."
After all, he took Hermione upstream, followed by Fleur and Gabrielle.
The audience on the wooden tower saw the four of Hermione get out of the water one after another, and applauded one after another.
After the four went ashore, Beauxbaton's female students hurriedly put quick-drying bath towels on sisters Della Kool to prevent them from catching a cold and having a fever under the cold wind.
As for the students of Hogwarts, they also want to put on Zicomo and Hermione.
But when the two came up, there was not a drop of water on their bodies, and even their hair was dry.
If they hadn't seen the two men emerge from the water with their own eyes, they would have thought Zicomo and Hermione never went down.
Fleur came to Zicomo wearing a bath towel, and she said: "Although I have said it many times, I still want to say it again, thank you for helping our sisters.
After all, Furong didn't wait for Zicomo to reply, she held Zicomo's face in her arms and kissed her, moreover, it was a mouth-to-mouth kind.
It has to be said that Furong's operation stunned Hermione on the side.
That is to say, "643" at this time, Harry just took Ron out of the water, and everyone's eyes were not on them.
Otherwise, let them see this scene, I don't know how many boys will be heartbroken.
But it's not like no one saw it, like Ron who just got out of the water.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw this exciting scene.
At that moment, Harry seemed to hear the sound of something breaking—it was the sound of Ron's heart breaking.
Ron wailed in his heart, his first love seemed to be over before it even started.
Huh? Why did he say "you"?
However, no one cared about Ron's thoughts, and everyone was cheering for Harry's successful completion of the task.
As for Fleur, whom Ron regards as his first love, after giving Zicomo a passionate kiss, she came to the rest area prepared for her by Beauxbatons before Zicomo could react.
It's just that when she left, her pretty face was flushed, and even her ears were stained with a blush.
Apparently her heart was not as peaceful as she appeared.
Zicomo looked at the direction Furong left, and shook his head with a smile. Before Furong kissed him, he really didn't expect Furong to do that.
Furong is a person from the romantic country, and there is an etiquette in the romantic country to kiss each other on the cheek.
Zicomo thought that Fleur would do that kind of etiquette to him, "I didn't expect her to pick up A again.
As soon as Zicomo turned his head, he found Hermione pouted and looking at him with displeasure.
Obviously the little witch is jealous.
Zicomo explained helplessly: "I really didn't know she would kiss."
Hermione asked angrily, "Then why don't you run away?"
Zicomo said: "I thought she came up to her as a normal kiss, so she didn't hide. Who knew she would do that?"
If you think about it carefully, Romantic Country is the country where facial kissing rituals are used most frequently.
This matter was brought up by Fu Rong on her own initiative, and Zicomo cannot be blamed.
But no matter how she thought about it, Hermione still felt angry.
She turned her head angrily and glared at Fu Rong, Fu Rong only smiled at her when she saw it.
Hermione was so angry that she hugged Zicomo directly.
Seeing Hermione's actions, Zicomo stretched out his hand to smooth her hair, to appease her anger.
Now Krum surfaced with the unnamed girl, his Yule ball partner.
It is worth mentioning that Krum's long-term underwater activities do not rely on the Bubble Curse, but Transfiguration.
He used transfiguration to turn his head into a shark's head, which effectively deterred all kinds of underwater creatures and successfully found his dance partner.
With Krum going ashore, the second match of the Triwizard Contest came to a successful conclusion.
The first place is undoubtedly Hermione who surfaced first.
As for the second place.
Fleur felt that she got up so quickly with the help of Zicomo, and she felt that she deserved the second place.
She took the initiative to explain her situation to the organizing committee, that is, Dumbledore and others, and requested that she be ranked last.
After some negotiation between Dumbledore and old Crouch, they agreed to Huang Rong's request.
So the second place fell to Harry.
Harry made an appointment with Ron to go to Hagrid's cottage for the evening to celebrate, and he himself was pulled aside by old Crouch.
The Imperius Curse is a very strange spell. When the controller does not give orders, the controlled person will behave according to his previous words and deeds, and behave extremely normal.
At this moment, old Crouch was just going to pull Harry to say some scene words because of his professional habits.
Yet 'Moody' in the distance doesn't know this.
After all, it was Voldemort who actually cast the Imperius Curse on old Crouch, and he had only simple control over old Crouch.
Seeing this scene, ‘Moody’ hurried towards this side.
He worried that old Crouch might break free of the Imperius Curse, and warned Harry.
Although the possibility of this is very small, in order to avoid alarming others and affecting his master's plans, 'Moody' cannot allow old Crouch and Harry too much contact.
So he rushed over and interrupted the conversation between the two, and because of a perennial habit of his, Moody actually exposed himself.
Barty Crouch Jr. has a habit of subconsciously licking the left corner of his mouth when he finishes speaking.
As his father, Crouch Sr. was very aware of his son's habits.
As I said before, a person who is under the Imperius Curse will behave the same as before the curse when the caster has not issued an order.
And also have the ability to think for themselves.
Therefore, based on the behavior of 'Moody' licking the corners of his mouth, old Crouch deduced the truth that the 'Moody' in front of him was a fake, pretending to be his son.
But he didn't say anything, but turned around and left here silently, not knowing what to do.
'Moody' obviously also realized that he had accidentally exposed this point. He was worried that the old Crouch would reveal his identity, so he decided to find an opportunity to attack the old Crouch.
So Harry, who was celebrating with Ron and others near Hagrid's hut that night, saw the old Crouch's body on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.
Harry hurried back to the castle, wanting to tell Dumbledore about it......
When passing by the general hall, he happened to meet the owner of Zicomo who just came out of the hall after a full meal.
Harry grabbed Zicomo and led him towards the headmaster's office.
His actions made Hermione and Lani impossible. When did their cousin (Wang) become so popular that even boys wanted to snatch them?
Of course, this is just a joke.
They knew that Harry probably wanted to find Zicomo on something urgent. As for what the urgent matter was, they were not in a hurry to ask, anyway, Zicomo would tell them when he came back.
They've just eaten their fill [and are about to sing to the Gryffindor's common room for ten minutes.
Zicomo was only pulled by Harry for a short distance before breaking free from Harry's hand.
He was afraid that if he didn't break free again, the news that he and Harry had eloped would spread in the school the next day.
Don't doubt, sometimes the spread of campus news is so outrageous.
Zicomo followed Harry and asked, "What happened? Where are you taking me in such a hurry?"
Harry said as he walked, "Mr. Crouch was killed in the Forbidden Forest, and I'm planning to tell Dumbledore about it.
Zicomo raised an eyebrow, maybe Harry didn't need to tell Dumbledore anymore.
Because of this Dumbledore probably already knew.
When Zicomo went to the general hall for dinner, he saw Fudge.
With the Minister of Magic's rejection of Dumbledore, he would not come to Hogwarts unless something serious happened.
Didn't you see that he didn't even appear in such a grand event as the Triwizard Tournament, but handed it over to old Crouch?
Now he came to Hogwarts, and he was still in a hurry, probably because of the death of old Crouch.
But if this is the case, then old Crouch is quite miserable.
After all, if Fudge's arrival was for the death of old Crouch, then obviously Harry wasn't the first to discover the body.
In this way, old Crouch was killed by his own son, and he was found dead in the Forbidden Forest for so long, and no one from the Ministry of Magic has come to collect his body.
It can be said to be very pitiful.
But what does this have to do with him, Zicomo?
Zicomo asked curiously: "So, why did you pull me on?"
"Forehead……"
Harry was at a loss for words for a moment, could he say it was his subconscious behavior?
Harry didn't know the specific reason, he just thought it would be better to bring this matter to Zicomo.
At least one more person who can make suggestions.
Seeing that Harry couldn't answer, Zicomo didn't bother to dwell on the question.
Since he's here, let's take it for fun.
At this moment, the two of them had just arrived at the door of the headmaster's office, and they heard Dumbledore's voice through the door.
"There's one dead, Fudge!" Dumbledore said heavily, "and he's not the last. Something has to be done."
Dumbledore meant to suspend the Triwizard Tournament, but Fudge disagreed.
Fudge replied: "I will not act rashly, the wizarding world needs a strong leadership team to draw strength, Dumbledore!"
