In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"Where did Jon Green get 180 points?"

The first person to question this was Bosted.

The smile on his face was the first to freeze, and he was also the first to react among everyone. He almost couldn't help but interrupt Matthew on the spot.

On the shore, the students in the castle were also staring at Matthew. When they heard someone taking the lead in asking questions, they also shouted.

"That's right! Jon Green scored 100 points in the first game, and now he has 50 points in this game. The total does not add up to 180 points!"

"Did Mr. Graves make a miscalculation?"

"He couldn't have done such a simple addition on purpose, right?"

After hearing this question, Matthew just put down the parchment in his hand, stared at everyone calmly and said.

"It's true that Jon Green scored 50 points in this game, but he didn't just score 100 points in the first event."

"There were no students around at the time, but we were all there! He found the most Golden Snitches. The first one got 70 points, and the second one came back from the Forbidden Forest and got 30 points. Isn't this 100 points or something? ! You announced it in front of all the referees!"

Burst couldn't hold it any longer. He seemed to sense that there was some conspiracy in it. Matthew couldn't help but want to confuse right and wrong with Dumbledore. There was no way to change the result of the second project in full view of the public. Then Just start with the first project.

He yelled, turning to look at Snape.

"You were there at that time, right? Say something, Snape! They are cheating!"

Snape just responded with an indifferent look and did say something, but this sentence was addressed to him.

"A hopeless fool."

After saying that, he nodded to Matthew, as if saying hello, turned around and walked towards the castle under everyone's puzzled gaze.

Naturally, no one of the students surrounding him dared to stop him, and they all hurriedly opened a passage for their vice-principal to pass through.

Bursted didn't react at first and froze in place. After Snape had walked away, the expression on his face began to become distorted.

"What does he mean? How dare he scold me like this! Scold me like this!"

The expression on Matthew's face remained unchanged from beginning to end, and he continued what he had not finished.

"I think Mr. Bosted, you may have forgotten that after the first competition event, the referee team launched an investigation into the dragon disaster at that time. Although there were no clues or results in the end, the compensation for Jon Green was All the referees at the time, including the headmaster of Hogwarts Castle, approved it, and the compensation was an additional 30 points based on his first competition event."

The distortion on Bosted's face froze instantly.

Naturally, he was notified when this matter was confirmed, but he didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that Jon was already number one in the first project, and giving him more points would have no impact.

But it wasn't until the second event was finished that he came to his senses. The scores of the first two events were added up to calculate the ranking, which would have an impact on the third event.

In other words, the thirty points added to Jon at the beginning are actually crucial, basically ensuring that he is invincible!

No wonder he could go ashore with a calm expression after only harvesting one pearl, and showed no concern for the results of Emil and Draco.

In fact, even if Jon doesn't go looking for the pearl at all, as long as he returns immediately after entering the water and gets the guaranteed 50 points, he will win!

As for whether the 30 points originally compensated for him were reasonable, this was something Voldemort agreed to, so it was impossible for Bosted to express any objection to it.

So the situation was already doomed.

And he was still like a clown, still questioning Dumbledore's collusion with the referee team to cheat, and he actually let Snape speak?

Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, Burst blushed, because all the students were looking at him at this time. Snape left quietly, and they could only learn from Beauxbatons' deputy The principal answered whether the news was true or not.

"Yes, there is such a thing!"

Bosted almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.

Matthew looked away from him. He didn't understand how the vice principal could be so happy from the beginning.

The students around me don’t understand how the scores for the first item are calculated, and you don’t understand either?

It really confirmed what Snape said before he left. He was hopelessly stupid.

At this time, Emil's whole body felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his whole body shrank.

When Jon added points, not only the referees were notified, but the following players also knew about it. However, they all recognized Jon's first score at that time, so they didn't think it was a big deal.

But when the two competition events are completely over and the total scores are added up, this advantage is fully reflected.

After hearing Bosted's personal confirmation, none of the students in the castle had any smiles on their faces.

The expressions on their faces can even be a little embarrassing, like a group of ducks carrying swan eggs back to their nests, only to be openly pointed out that ducks are ducks and cannot lay swan eggs.

As for where George, Hermione and the others were, after Jon confirmed that the total score was first, no one cheered.

As if this was how things should be, the previous cheers and cheers of the students in the castle were simply incomprehensible in their eyes.

Matthew asked one last time in front of everyone.

"Does anyone have any questions about the overall score of the first two events?"

The scene became extremely quiet. Now every point scored by the four warriors was traceable and in compliance with the rules. Of course, no one would have any questions.

At this time, Matthew also breathed a long sigh of relief.

No matter what, the first two games finally passed safely. As for the abnormality in the Black Lake during the game, it is probably the same as the dragon disaster in the first game. It can only be a mess.

"Then, I announce that the third game will start at 10 o'clock in the morning on April 12 this year. The specific rules will be announced on the same day."

When Matthew finished saying this, it meant that today's game was completely over.

The students in the castle didn't seem to want to stay any longer. They turned around and hurried back towards the castle, as if every extra second they stayed would make their faces more embarrassed.

Little Barty was watching this scene from the tower of the castle.

He had already determined the outcome of this game before it even started, so there was no need to watch it.

Only an idiot like Bursted would have any illusions about the final result of the game. As long as Jon scored in the first game, he would not be so unclear.

After Snape returned to the castle, he did not go to his office. Instead, he came to the tower and stood next to Barty.

"There was an accident during the game."

"Can you be sure who did it? Dumbledore? Or was it the method left by the master before?"

"I will go to the lake to check later. The specific source remains to be discussed."

Little Barty squinted his eyes and looked at a girl with long chestnut hair among the group of people returning to the Hogwarts carriage.

"No matter what the result of the game is, as long as Dumbledore and the others don't discover the problem of the master's disappearance, it is not a big deal. If you lose the first two games, you will lose. The key to victory is not here. No matter how big the advantage is, it will not matter. It can just provide some help for the final game. If you really want to win, you still have to lift the Triwizard Cup."

Snape was also looking down. He squinted his eyes and was looking at Jon, who was being playfully followed behind Dumbledore with George and Lee holding their arms around their shoulders.

"Does the master have any arrangements for the third game?"

"Of course I don't know what the master has arranged. Even you, I don't know what this last crucial event is about. But since the master didn't leave any news for us, either he has already arranged it. Everything, either"

Little Barty looked at Hermione deeply for the last time, making himself look like a girl with a big somersault, and finally turned around and left the tower.

"My master actually doesn't care about the Triwizard Tournament at all. The so-called blood oath and the current attitude of taking it seriously are just to attract Dumbledore's attention."

The last words he left were as he disappeared into the doorway. Only Snape was still standing on the tower. He did not continue to look at Jon and his party who had returned to the carriage. Instead, he raised his head and looked. Toward the blue space.

The dazzling sunlight shone on his empty eyes, and it was unclear whether he was whispering to someone or to himself.

"Live well no matter what"

Jon was not surprised that the second game ended like this.

He and Daisy knew the content of the second event very early. The competition format was the same as that of the first event. Naturally, they had already calculated that if they only had to go through a formality in this competition, they would basically be in the first place. Nothing will change.

Making the score larger may have a better impact on the third item, but in fact it is not necessary at all.

After returning to the carriage, just like in the past, there would be a summary meeting in the principal's office after all major events. This time, Jon also followed Dumbledore to the principal's office.

"There's nothing wrong with that big squid, right?"

As soon as Jon sat down, he blinked and asked.

Dumbledore's face was calm.

"Fox helped bring it to Lyon, where specialized magical animal experts treated it. But even if it doesn't die directly from this incident, it won't have a few years to live."

Jon was silent for a moment.

He had never seen this giant squid before today, but whether it was in the original book or from the mouths of other students, he could tell that this huge guy maintained the friendliest attitude towards every student.

"May I know why this squid was tortured like this by the Dark Lord?"

Dumbledore had a heavy look in his eyes.

"Because its existence has a deep relationship with Godric Gryffindor, the other founder in the history of Hogwarts. This is what Riddle values. If the four things are all relics left by the creators, then this squid is a living fossil, and it has a more profound meaning to the entire castle."

Jon frowned. Even though he was not deeply involved in Dumbledore and Hermione's previous plans in the castle, he now saw the problem.

"But Professor, if the Dark Lord really attaches great importance to taking the castle into his own hands, why hasn't he appeared to stop us yet? Let's not talk about the magic text in the secret room for the time being. Whether it is in the principal's office or in the dark We basically left a lot of traces in these two places in the Slytherin lounge under the lake, and I don’t think the Dark Lord will realize that we have found out his secrets.”

Dumbledore spoke softly.

"In fact, not only the Jon you mentioned, we haven't even figured out what Riddle's purpose is in gaining control of the castle. This castle should be meaningless to him. , now that he has the nominal position of principal is enough, but he still wants to go to great lengths to get the complete Hogwarts."

Jon was also curious about this.

"Does Hogwarts really have its own consciousness?"

"Why not?" Dumbledore asked, "Gryffindor took off his hat, and that hat became the Sorting Hat that can definitely identify students. Hogwarts Castle is the place where four great wizards came together Create a school where everyone who studies and lives is a little wizard with magical powers, and it will also have its own recognition standard."

"Then how did the Dark Lord determine whether he was recognized by that castle, but was ostracized instead?"

Dumbledore did not answer his question, but suddenly showed an expression of interest on his face.

"If you get a chance, Jon, promise me something."

Jon was in a daze. He didn't know why Dumbledore suddenly said this.

"What's up?"

"Next time you return to that castle, and you go in openly, try to go to the principal's office again, and then say a word in the principal's office."

Dumbledore said with a smile on his face.

"Just think of this as saying to yourself, [Throw rotten eggs into my head, Hogwarts]."

Jon couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Is this some kind of secret order?"

"If you have the chance, just give it a try. This is not a mission or a secret order, it's just an interesting experiment."

Dumbledore seemed to really have just a temporary idea for this matter. After he said this, the expression on his face became serious again.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic now. There are still up to four months until the final game that determines the outcome, and during this period, Salazar has one thing to give to you."
