This Hogwarts is not normal

Chapter 1086 The accident finally happened

Vincent was not interested in how the warriors passed the levels, he was more concerned about when the Death Eaters would appear.

The new map showed that everything was normal inside the maze, and the visitors to the school, the professors and Aurors patrolling outside the maze were all real people.

It seems that there is nothing abnormal, but this is precisely the biggest abnormality.

The Death Eaters will not give up until they achieve their goal and will not easily retreat because of the loss of a Rookwood. They may show up at any time.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Harry was trapped in the Devil's Snare in front of the core area of ​​the maze, and was using the light on his wand to free himself from the restraints.

Fleur was pestered by the Sphinx, a puzzle-loving cat who seemed to be against her and was determined to find a question she couldn't answer.

Draco was no longer graceful and calm. He ran forward desperately, trying to shake off the giant eight-eyed spider that was swinging on the spider silk behind him.

Krum had bad luck. While avoiding the pursuit of the blasting-tailed skrewts, he accidentally came to their concentration area. He was besieged and now covered in dust and his clothes were full of holes burned by the flying sparks.

The four warriors are all in their own troubles, and the game will not be over in a short time.

Vincent opened Rita's live broadcast room, where she was interacting with viewers who left messages.

"How did the anchor watch the game results? Of course he sat and watched."

Rita winked in what she thought was a playful way, "It was just a joke. The situation in the maze is complicated and unpredictable. Anyone could win the Triwizard Cup."

As she spoke, Harry successfully broke free from the Devil's Snare, and Fleur also took advantage of the Sphinx's distraction while thinking about new problems to quietly slip away, and then the two met at a crossroads.

Rita's emotions suddenly became excited, "The scene we have been waiting for for a long time finally appeared!"

What will happen when the warriors meet in the maze?

To her disappointment, neither Harry nor Fleur seemed to have any intention of attacking the other.

The two simply greeted each other and walked into the core area of ​​the maze together.

A few minutes later, Krum arrived, being chased by the skrewts.

But something seemed to be wrong with him. According to his physical fitness as a professional Quidditch player, he should not be so tired that he needed to walk by holding on to the hedge.

With a loud bang, the skrewts came after them again.

Krum had to adjust his breathing rate, but before he could run a few steps forward, he fell to the ground.

There were sudden cries of surprise from the stands, as everyone was worried that he would be knocked away by the giant blast-tailed skrewt behind him.

Karkarov in the referee's seat had already stood up, as if he was ready to rush in to save someone at any time.

The "sizzling" sound was getting closer and closer. Krum was struggling to support his body. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had used up all his strength.

The huge figure of the blasting-tailed skrewt still came crashing down, and many spectators covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear to watch him being knocked away.

Karkaroff turned over and jumped off the referee's seat. As soon as he pulled out his wand, he saw Krum standing there unharmed.

"Zizizizi—" More exploding-tailed skrewts came over.

Karkaroff stopped where he was, looking at Krum on the projection screen with the same confusion as the audience.

There was something wrong with his condition. He should have been exhausted, but now he raised his wand. The veins on his exposed arm were bulging and his eyes became even redder.

"The flames are blazing!"

Great gusts of fire burst from the tip of the staff, and all of them fell on the pink hedge instead of on the skrewt.

Missed?

No, Krum actually laughed, which meant that his real purpose was to set the hedge on fire.

But why did he?

No one had time to think because the blasting-tailed skrewts launched an attack.

The continuous explosions and sparks set all the surrounding hedges on fire, and the smoke produced by their burning was actually pink.

In the stands,

“Could it be…” Vincent stared at the name on the maze map that turned purple in an instant.

Hermione and her friends all crowded over, "Krum's condition is very wrong!"

Vincent looked at the projection screen that could only capture pink smoke. "It's more than just something wrong. He must have been cursed without anyone noticing."

"How is it possible?" Hermione followed his gaze and looked at the wisps of pink smoke drifting out of the maze. "Could it be that these things are causing trouble?"

At this moment, all the stands on the stadium were covered by a light blue magic barrier.

Dumbledore in the judging booth put down the Elder Wand and squinted at the pink smoke that was getting closer and closer.

With a "bang", Fudge beside him slammed the table hard, "Dolores, what is going on?"

Umbridge shook her head vigorously in horror. "Minister, I don't know what this is--"

There was another "bang" sound, and Fudge's face became extremely ugly. "Didn't you prepare these things? You actually told me you didn't know?"

Umbridge fell off her chair in fright. She stared blankly at the pink smoke drifting out of the maze. "Minister, I just ordered that the monotonous maze be changed to a different color. I didn't -"

Her eyes suddenly widened. "It's a traitor! Someone must have secretly mixed something in!"

Fudge's face turned pale and he turned to look at Dumbledore, "Albus, this is an emergency. Let's find a way to disperse the smoke first."

In just a minute or two, almost the entire area was covered by pink smoke.

The camera equipment could no longer capture any useful images. Judging from Krum's abnormal changes, the smoke was at least not harmless.

Snape hurried up to the auditorium and whispered something in Dumbledore's ear.

"Thank you, Severus, I understand."

The news brought by Snape made Dumbledore's face change suddenly, as if covered with a layer of cold frost.

Karkaroff came back at this time. "Can anyone tell me what happened? Where did this damn smoke come from?"

Dumbledore's expression was extremely solemn. "Everyone, someone has mixed the Lost Potion into the hedge that serves as the separation wall."

The Lost Potion is a special potion that can cause the person who takes it to lose their mind and amplify certain emotions specified by the person who administers the potion, thus achieving a curse-like effect.

If the agent is mixed into the hedge beforehand, a large amount of smoke can be produced by burning it with a flame.

The blasting-tailed skrewt that Krum encountered produced a large amount of sparks when it exploded, and it would inevitably land on the hedge as it broke through it, causing a small amount of smoke to spread into the air.

Krum and the Exploding-Tailed Skrewt, who were closest to them, inhaled the atomized potion without noticing, causing more potion to accumulate in their bodies over time until their emotions were completely controlled by the person who administered the potion.

Everyone in the referee's booth looked at Karkaroff.

The incident happened not long after he jumped into the judge's seat, but if there was any suspicion, Umbridge, who ordered the hedge to be painted pink, was the biggest one.
