Chapter 566 Cheating

Bagman left the Quidditch field with them, but did not go to Hogwarts Castle. He deliberately slowed down and walked with Karkaroff at the end of the team.

"I really don't understand why we have to wait until night to prepare. Didn't they consider the weather?"

"Yes, you are right." Karkaroff showed a concerned look, "So, would you like a drink? I have a collection of gin on my ship, which should warm you up a lot."

"Durmstrang's gin..." Bagman looked a little tempted, but then shook his head, "Forget it, Igor, I still have to supervise the construction of the maze in a while... and Chris and Barty are here too, you know, they work very hard, and they may not like me drinking at this time..."

"I think it's a bit of an exaggeration." Karkaroff said indifferently, "Just a small drink , they won't find out. "

"Forget it." Bagman glanced at Kyle in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, "But I have something to tell you... Well, do you have any other requirements about the number of stands reserved for Durmstrang?"

"Of course." Karkaroff said immediately: "This event is very rare. We have many professors and honorary alumni who want to watch Viktor's final victory. I ask for 20 more seats in the first three rows."

"This may be a bit too much, at most 10 more..."

"Not enough at all, at least 15..."

"You know I'm in a dilemma, let's talk about it here."

As they walked, they left the team and turned to the direction of the Black Lake.

At this time, Kyle had already arrived in front of the stone stairs of the castle.

He looked at Fleur and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory?"

"No, I'll be staying in the carriage these days."

She looked back, "And I have to wait here for Madam Maxime. If Durmstrang can add more seats in the stands, we have to make the same request... It's strange, why hasn't she come back yet."

"Is that so? All right then." Kyle said.

Then he walked up the stone steps alone and returned to the castle.

It was already half past nine, curfew time, and no one could be seen in the castle. It was terribly quiet.

At this time, Filch's footsteps could always be heard in the castle, but recently the administrator seemed to have lost his enthusiasm for patrolling the castle. He spent most of his time in his small office every day with Mrs. Norris.

"Fred, George, are you going back to the Gryffindor common room?" Kyle asked.

But he didn't get a response, and the surroundings were still quiet.

"Cedric?" Kyle changed another name, but no one answered.

I think they should still be outside and not come back.

Kyle wanted to wait for them for a while, but after standing in the chilly hallway for five minutes, he turned around and went back to the common room.

Mainly because it looked a little silly to stand alone in the hallway after curfew.

There were many people in the lounge, and when Kyle came in, they all looked over as if they had made an appointment.

"What is the third project? Is it a treasure hunt?"

"Nonsense, I guess it must be a duel."

"Agreed, only the strongest can become the champion."

Everyone guessed the content of the third project.

"None of them." Kyle shook his head.

But when he came back, Chris reminded him to keep a little mystery, so Kyle didn't reveal too much, only saying that the game would be exciting.

When it was ten o'clock, seeing that they couldn't ask anything, everyone got up and went back to the dormitory. Soon, there were only a few people left in the lounge.

At this time, the wooden door on the wall suddenly opened, and the next second, three people appeared in front of Kyle out of thin air.

In addition to Cedric, there were also Fred and George. They did not return to the Gryffindor common room, but followed here.

"You will never guess what we heard."

As soon as he entered the door, Fred couldn't wait to say, he seemed very angry, even the tip of his ears was red.

"We were a little curious just now, and wanted to hear what Ludo Bagman and Karkaroff said."

George said angrily, "I didn't expect that they would talk about the content of the third project."

"That Ludo Bagman, I didn't expect him to help Durmstrang against Hogwarts, I thought he was the best beater before."

"When we go back later, we will tear down his poster and throw it into the fireplace!"

"As a referee, helping the warriors cheat is a serious violation of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament!" Cedric was also very angry.

He was worried about Fred and George and followed them because he was worried that they would be caught, but he didn't expect to accidentally discover such a big secret.

"Wait..." Kyle frowned and said, "Are you sure you heard him reveal the content of the project?"

"I heard it clearly." George said, "They probably thought there was no one around, so they didn't hide it at all."

"No, we have to go to the principal to report them!"

Fred was so angry that he was about to go out, but was stopped by Cedric.

"It's useless. We don't have direct evidence. They won't admit it." He sighed and said.

"Then we can't just let it go!" George hammered the table, "This kind of shameful cheating."

"What did they say?" At this time, Kyle, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Did they mention the correct route of the maze?"

"This... doesn't seem to be the case." After thinking for a moment, Cedric shook his head and said, "Although Karkaroff asked this, it's probably because the maze is still under construction. Bagman said he didn't know exactly. That road leads to the central trophy."

"No, they mentioned a similar news." Fred added next to him: "Bagman said that the place with the Sphinx and the Manticore is the right place. Just go straight. That’s it…it’s no different from telling him the correct route directly.”

"Hey, guys." George suddenly thought of something and slammed the table. "I also agree with Cedric's suggestion. It would be better not to tell Dumbledore what happened today."

"What? You..." Fred was about to say something, but was stopped by George.

"We were so angry just now that we didn't realize the most important point." He said meaningfully, "Remember? Kyle was the first person to enter the maze."

After being reminded like this, Fred immediately understood what this sentence meant, and at the same time, the expression on his face quickly changed from anger to excitement.

"Damn it, how could I forget this." He lowered his voice, "Bagman told Karkaroff the content of the third project, but we heard it, which means that Kyle also got got this information.”

"That's right." George said, "And Kyle will enter the maze first before Krum. By the time he finds the Sphinx Beast, Kyle may have already arrived in front of the trophy..."

"Krum's expression will be wonderful then..."

"And Karkaroff's..."
