Chapter 307 - Barty Sr. Under the Imperius Curse

Not only Madame Maxime, but also Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and even Harry himself, all looked at Lynn curiously, waiting for his next words.

Lynn didn't mean to keep everyone in suspense. He expressed his thoughts: "Since Harry has become the fourth champion, it means that Harry has been recognized by the Goblet of Fire as the only student who has enrolled in the fourth non-existent magic school. I'm sure everyone has guessed the magic that can do this, right?"

After hearing Lynn's words, the name of a spell appeared in the minds of everyone present except Harry, and Fleur exclaimed: "Lynn, are you talking about the Confundus Charm?!"

Lynn nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm afraid only a powerful Confundus Charm can achieve this goal. And Harry obviously does not have the ability to cast such a powerful Confundus Charm."

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall frowned and asked, "Lynn, what you mean is that there is a wizard with a powerful magic level who cast Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire. But why did that person do this? What benefits does this bring to them?!"

Lynn chuckled and said, "It's obvious that person wants Harry to die. They want Harry to die in this extremely dangerous Triwizard Tournament!"

As Lynn's voice fell, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Harry all broke out in cold sweats. Harry felt a chill down his spine, as if everything around him had become unsafe.

Fleur looked at Lynn in horror. She understood that Lynn must have some basis for saying that, which made her think deeply and feel terrified.

Clap, clap, clap!

At this moment, Dumbledore clapped his hands gently. He looked at Lynn with a smile, clearly very satisfied with Lynn's analysis.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "I think Harry needs to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. As for the purpose of the person who threw the parchment into the Goblet of Fire... As long as we can ensure the safety of the champion, then the other party's plans will naturally fail, right?"

Harry looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. Someone was trying to murder him, but he still wanted him to participate in this dangerous Triwizard Tournament?!

After learning that Harry was still going to participate, Karkaroff's expression became even uglier. He stretched out his voice: "Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, you two are our... um... objective referees. You must also think that this matter is extremely inappropriate, right?"

Ludo wiped his face with a handkerchief and looked at old Barty.

Old Barty glanced at Karkaroff coldly and said calmly, "We must abide by the charter. The charter clearly states that anyone whose name spews out of the Goblet of Fire must compete in the Triwizard Tournament."

"Hey, old Barty knows the statutes by heart," Ludo said with a loud laugh, a smile spreading across his face.

He looked back at Karkaroff and Madame Maxime, as if the matter had been satisfactorily resolved.

"I insist that my other students re-register," Karkaroff said, his face very ugly. "You must put out the Goblet of Fire again, and we have to keep adding names to it until each school has two champions. This is fair, Dumbledore!"

Ludo said quickly: "Karkaroff, I'm afraid that won't work. The Goblet of Fire has just gone out... It won't be rekindled until the next Triwizard Tournament..."

Before Ludo could finish his words, Karkaroff interrupted him and said angrily: "Durmstrang Institute will never participate in the next Triwizard Tournament! We have held so many meetings and gone through so many negotiations and consultations, but we didn't expect something like this to happen! I just want to leave now!"

"It's just a bluff, Karkaroff!" At this moment, a roaring voice came from outside the door. "You can't leave your champion now; he must participate in the competition. They all must participate in the competition. As Dumbledore said, this is bound by a magical contract. This is good for you, isn't it?!"

Professor Moody walked into the room and limped toward the fire, his right metal foot making a loud thumping sound each time it landed.

Professor Moody seemed to be speaking to Karkaroff, but his cold eyes swept over Lynn.

He never expected that Lynn and Irina were not helping Dumbledore guard the Goblet of Fire last night but wanted to tamper with the Goblet of Fire just like him!

Moreover, the other party had spent an entire night, which made him wait outside the hallway with the Disillusionment Charm for an entire night!

Thinking of how he had a runny nose from the cold wind last night, Professor Moody was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"I don't understand you, Moody," Karkaroff said coldly. "If it were in my interest, I wouldn't oppose it!"

Professor Moody sneered and said, "Really? This is very simple, Karkaroff. Someone put Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire. They knew that if the name was sprayed out by the Goblet of Fire, Potter would have to participate in the competition! Maybe someone hopes that Potter will die for this!"

At the end, Professor Moody almost roared.

However, Professor Moody unexpectedly discovered that his words did not cause anyone to have drastic emotional fluctuations. Even Harry, who thought someone wanted to kill him, was looking at him calmly.

When Professor Moody was puzzled by this, Karkaroff said calmly: "Moody, I think you are really old. Even a fifth-year wizard can say these things, but you are proud of knowing some well-known things."

As he spoke, Karkaroff nodded to Lynn.

After learning that Lynn had said what he wanted to say, Professor Moody looked at Lynn in surprise. Then, he wanted to speak again to guide everyone to think in the direction of conspiracy theories.

But at this moment, Dumbledore spoke again. He looked at everyone in the room and said, "We don't know how this situation came about. But in my opinion, we have no choice but to accept it. Lynn and Harry have both been selected to participate in the competition, so they must..."

Madame Maxime wanted to object: "Ah, but Dumbledore..."

"My dear Madame Maxime, if you have another solution, I'm all ears," Dumbledore said calmly.

"Okay, let's get on with it, shall we?" Ludo said, rubbing his hands and looking at the people in the room with a smile. "We are going to give guidance to the champions, right? Old Barty, you tell the story?"

Hearing Ludo's voice, old Barty shook his body, and he seemed to suddenly wake up from his thoughts.

Seeing this scene, Lynn's face darkened. He could naturally see that something was wrong with old Barty.

It seems that from this moment on, old Barty has been under the Imperius Curse of Barty Jr.
