Chapter 314: Beyond the crystal ball is a bigger crystal ball "Chrom, what's going on?" Harry actually had a pretty good impression of Krum, after all, he was the best player in the World Cup. However, Krum paid no attention to Harry and held out his wand, pointing high into the air. A red light like fireworks rushed out from the tip of the magic wand, flew into the sky, suddenly exploded, and bloomed like fireworks. Then, an extremely large skull pattern appeared with a giant python coiled around it. "That mark!" Harry's eyes suddenly widened as he remembered what happened on the Quidditch pitch. That's right! It's the thing that looks like the Dark Mark! At that time, George was wrongly accused of releasing the mark and was investigated by the Ministry of Magic.
did not expect…… Is it Krum? Come to think of it, he was indeed there at the time. Harry was shocked, and there was an uproar in the stands. George was gritting his teeth and wished he could rush into the magic curtain and have a physical exchange with Krum. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the one playing tricks on others, but Krum didn't say a word and let him suffer a great loss! Thinking back to how his father had fought for him at the Ministry of Magic, George felt that he would never be able to forgive Krum in his entire life! "Calm down George!" Fred was the first person to notice that George was different. He comforted him, "It's okay. Don't think about it anymore. It's all over." George's chest heaved violently, and it took a long time for him to calm down. "I will settle this account with him sooner or later!" he said gritting his teeth. George's reaction was big, but someone in the stands reacted even bigger than him. "Do not!!!" Karkaroff covered his face and cried out in pain. The principal, who just claimed to treat every student equally, has now gone crazy for his favorite student. "This is impossible! Krum is being controlled! He's a victim too!" Karkaroff no longer cared about hiding his identity as a Death Eater and just shouted to the people around him. "That's the Imperius Curse! I can recognize it!" "Calm down, Igor." Dumbledore helped him sit down. "We will find out everything." "Dumbledore, what are you waiting for!" Karkaroff's expression distorted as he accused Dumbledore, "Krum met with an accident! It was caused by the power of the Dark Arts. You should have stopped the game and protected the students!"
"The key to stop the crystal ball is not in my hands. It's in Bagman's hands." Dumbledore sighed, "But now, Bagman has disappeared." Disappeared? Only then did Karkarov notice that the Director of the Sports Department, who was originally sitting in the front, had disappeared. He disappeared, right in front of everyone. "When did he..." "I don't know, Igor." Dumbledore's expression at this moment was more solemn than anything Karkaroff had ever seen. The last time the old principal felt this powerless was when he was facing three resurrected founders at the same time. "If I'm not mistaken, the Bagman we saw before was probably someone else pretending to be him." Dumbledore stretched out his hand and waved it into the distance, and the crystal ball flew into his hand. "If this crystal ball is opened forcibly, the safety of the students inside cannot be guaranteed." Looking from the outside into the crystal ball, you can also see the exquisite island. “The only two options now are to either find Bagman and get the key, or for the warriors inside to crack it from the inside. "Beyond that, we can only wait." Dumbledore's hand was steady, not allowing the sphere to shake at all. The magic curtain was still broadcasting the situation inside the crystal ball live, and Harry and Krum had already started fighting. "Heart-piercing!" "Falling unconscious!" The two spells collided with each other and connected into a dazzling magic line in mid-air. Sparks like magma burst out and spread in all directions. The surrounding air was squeezed by this force, making a whistling sound. Harry then waved his wand, trying to control the surrounding stones to fly towards Krum. But Krum just used a simple barrier spell to instantly block the flying stones, which fell to the ground one after another. Bruce watched from the side and found that Harry was in a strange state. If Harry seemed extremely nervous before the game started, even after drinking the calming potion, he still looked guilty. But now, he has completely entered into combat state, fighting back and forth with Krum, and is not losing the upper hand for the time being. "So you're a practical player?" Bruce came to a conclusion in his mind, and he almost got to know Harry all over again. Bravo. Next, Bruce didn't plan to watch Harry fight anymore.
He drew his wand and chanted a spell. "All petrified!" Krum was trying to avoid Harry's magic at this time and didn't notice Bruce's attack next to him. As expected, he was hit by the spell, half of his body was petrified instantly, he could not stand steadily and knelt on one knee. "call--" Seeing the other person like this, Harry felt relieved instantly. "Be careful, Harry." Bruce, who was experienced in combat, guessed that Harry would suffer a great loss as soon as he saw Harry's expression. Sure enough, Krum did not give up. He endured the pain, supported his body with his wand, and chanted the last powerful spell. "Avada Kedavra!" An instant green light shot towards Harry. Harry was caught off guard by this move and had no time to react, but then a stone wall appeared out of nowhere in front of him, blocking the fatal spell for him. "Collapse!" Bruce then knocked Krum unconscious, eliminating his final threat. "Logically, you're dead now." Bruce then put away his wand and looked at Harry, "Remember this in the future. If your opponent has not completely lost his fighting ability, don't take it lightly." Harry didn't respond. He was still in shock from his brush with death. The people in the stands were already in a panic. Avada Kedavra? Used by a student? "Karkaroff, I'm afraid you'll have to explain yourself later." Dumbledore's tone finally turned cold, and the way he addressed Karkaroff also lost its original intimacy. "Where on earth did a student who hasn't even graduated learn the Avada Kedavra curse?" “I didn’t teach you that…” Karkaroff retorted subconsciously that he was not lying and that he had a criminal record, so how could he dare to teach Krum such a thing. He was also wondering where Krum could have learned it from. Some little girls in the stands were already crying. They wanted to leave the stands and return to the safety of the castle. But the teachers stood up and stopped them from walking around. This was a joint order from Dumbledore and the other headmasters.
Perhaps, those children did not notice that there was an invisible barrier on the dome of the Quidditch field, preventing them from entering or exiting. In Dumbledore's hand, there is a crystal ball containing a miniature world. And he himself was locked in a larger crystal ball. (End of this chapter)
