In the breeze by the lake, Dumbledore talked closely with the old mermaid patriarch, learning about everything that had just happened in the water.

Although there is a live video as a reference, the description from the mermaid is also indispensable.

Finally, Dumbledore stood up straight. He slowly turned to the other judges and said in a deep voice: "Let's have a meeting first and then make the score."

The six referees walked into the tent in tacit agreement. They sat together with different expressions on their faces.

Five of them looked at Karkaroff tactfully, waiting for his performance.

Sure enough, Karkaroff obviously did not disappoint everyone. He jumped up first as always,

His eyes widened and he said angrily: "I think the results of this round of competition should be directly invalidated! Let's have a rematch!"

Oops, it's still a familiar smell...from the first round until now.

This is Karkarov's style. He can't suffer any loss at all. If he suffers a loss, he will have to rematch.

But it is impossible to cancel the rematch, not even in this life.

Madame Maxime even rolled her eyes.

She had already made up her mind,

Hermione is the first place, Huang Rong is the second place.

They are students at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons respectively.

Although Estella, who came last, was also a contestant from Beauxbatons, the Triwizard Tournament only added team elements, rather than a real team competition.

There will only be one final champion,

Therefore, Mrs. Maxim will not sacrifice Fleur's grades for Estella.

The two principals had their heads wet, so they agreed to rematch!

Is it because both of your Durmstrang players are at the bottom of this round?

Karkaroff frowned and said with suspicion: "We all know that there was an emergency at 580 below the Black Lake just now. The fairy in the lake said that the giant squid went crazy because of human interference... ...I suspect that all the magical creatures in the lake have actually gone crazy, so the difficulty has been greatly increased."

He waved his fingers in the air to emphasize his point:

"A game completed under such abnormal conditions cannot show the strength of the warriors at all. It is extremely unfair to the warriors to hastily calculate the results. Is this good? This is not good! I advise you two, be rat-tail juice!" Don’t favor your own students!”

When Mrs. Maxim heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she was offended.

She put her hands on her hips and retorted without showing any signs of weakness: "Any situation that occurs underwater is part of the competition. Even if there are some accidents, all players are in the same environment, so it is fair overall."

There was a sarcastic smile on her lips, laughing at Karkaroff's complaints.

"Why does the giant squid only target Durmstrang's warriors and not Granger, Fleur and Potter? It's not that they have delayed for too long. If they can't do it themselves, don't blame the competition system.

Dumbledore also frowned, his eyes sweeping across the lake as if he was thinking about something. He spoke slowly: "Don't say such words at this time, Igor! What we have to think about now is not the question of whether to rematch, but how to deal with potential troubles!"

His voice was low and serious, reminding everyone present: "I believe that the person who made the giant squid go crazy as the Lake Fairy said was the one who used the confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire to make Harry... Potter was forced to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. The conspiracy behind all this is probably related to Voldemort."

Karkaroff originally wanted to refute something, but when Dumbledore finally called Voldemort by his first name, he immediately stopped and the expression on his face became horrified.

He quickly covered the mark of the dark devil on his arm, as if he had been burned.

This time, he did not make trouble as usual, nor did he argue with Dumbledore.

Because he knew that what Dumbledore said was probably true.

In recent days, that mark had reacted frequently, like a constant alarm bell reminding him: Voldemort was recovering.

He knew very well what Voldemort was like and knew that it was entirely possible for him to do something against Harry Potter in this situation.

At this moment, Barty Crouch Sr., who had been silent all this time, suddenly coughed twice, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

"Dumbledore is right, but finding Death Eaters will be a matter later."

Crouch's tone was full of worry: "For now, what we need to face is the outside audience. How do we explain all this? You must know that the words of the Lady of the Lake were heard by everyone in the audience.

When this question was asked, everyone fell into a brief silence.

This kind of thing really needs to be carefully considered. They all know the seriousness of this problem.

Once handled improperly, it will not only affect the reputation of the three schools in the Triwizard Tournament, but also the credibility of the International Cooperation Department and Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic.

"Actually, I have an idea."

Levin suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention,

"The Triwizard Tournament has reached its peak and there is no way to stop it. The warriors must also participate in the following games, so we must reduce the impact of this matter, but we cannot fool everyone into thinking they are fools."

He paused and then said:

"In my opinion, the best way is to tie it to the good news that is about to be released recently, and let everyone realize that although this matter is bad, it is still within the control of the Ministry of Magic.

When Bagman heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was the first to understand what Levin meant: "Oh, you plan to connect this matter with the Albanian matter..."

Bagman was the first to understand what Levin meant,

"The Aurors who went to Albania to hunt down fugitives are about to return victoriously." This news was originally revealed to Levin by him.

Bagman secretly admired Levin's quick thinking.

Levin smiled confidently: "That's right! We just need to describe this 'behind the scenes' as the remnant of the World Cup night case - anyway, they were all Death Eaters, so this label is not unfair - Then choose one of the fugitives who died during capture and put the crime on his head."

He looked around, looked at everyone's thoughtful expressions, and finally explained: "In this way, we can claim that the suspect's motive for launching the attack in this way is to retaliate against the British Ministry of Magic, especially the Department of International Cooperation. and the Division of Physical Education.”

"This reason is very reasonable!" Bagman immediately praised him. "After all, Mr. Crouch and I participated in hosting the World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. They were caught in the World Cup, so as revenge, they were arrested in the Triwizard Tournament. The reason for causing trouble for us in the competition does make sense."

"That's it." Levin added, "The reason why we chose the dead to bear the blame is to die without any evidence. In the end, we only need to claim that the astute Aurors quickly tracked down the culprit. When they realized that they had been discovered, the murderer fled in panic. When they arrived in Albania, they were eventually blocked by our ambush Aurors in Albania. The murderer still wanted to resist, but was eventually shot dead on the spot."

After Levin finished speaking, he turned around and cast his gaze to a corner of the tent.

There, Tonks, the deputy director of the Auror Office and the head of security for the Triwizard Tournament, was sitting quietly, listening intently to their conversation.

"What about Tonks, can the Auror Office cooperate with us in this matter?"

Hearing this, Tonks nodded slightly, "I need to go back and report it, but in my opinion it is basically feasible."

"So, that's what we've decided?"

Levin looked around, and everyone nodded silently, while looking at Levin with complicated eyes.

What a terrible person.

Why is this boy so smart?

Several principals thought about it one after another.

Being able to come up with such a skillful solution in the blink of an eye made him as good as most politicians in the Ministry of Magic.

In this regard, Dumbledore felt the most profoundly.

He gradually discovered that Levin's intelligence was not only reflected in magic, but also in magic.

Looking at it now, he is so good at handling affairs and considering people's hearts.

If Tom Riddle had been as skilled as him, he wouldn't have been able to make everyone scream and beat him up so easily.

But if such a young man falls into the Force... no, the dark side of magic, the consequences may be even more terrifying than Voldemort's.

Fortunately, he has no sign of that yet.

Dumbledore sighed, and then announced: "In this case, we will follow Levin's statement, but the specific way of announcing the matter will be your responsibility at the Ministry of Magic."

"certainly."

"no problem.

"Leave it to us."

The three Ministry of Magic officials present agreed.

Dumbledore nodded and looked around at everyone: "Then it will be our turn to go out and announce the scores of the warriors.
