"It's almost time, we should go to the Quidditch pitch." Dumbledore closed his pocket watch and called Albert downstairs.
Along the way, they didn't talk anymore, and they didn't meet Harry Potter on the way.
The two walked through the foyer, melted into the overcast night, and walked along the dark lawn towards the Quidditch pitch. At the entrance to the Quidditch pitch, they met Hermione and Ron, who were obviously accompanying them.
Benefited from it.
"Good evening."
Albert greeted the two with a smile.
"We come with Harry, it's not safe at night." Hermione said quickly, not sure whether she was telling Albert or explaining to Dumbledore.
"See you."
After entering the Quidditch pitch, Albert found that the place had simply changed. The pitch was no longer flat and smooth. Hagrid had built countless long low walls here. These low walls were intricate and winding.
In all directions.
Albert felt that he should take a few photos in advance and study the maze map.
"Good evening!"
A voice sounded on the court.
Amelia Bones came this way with Krum, Fleur and Harry.
"Good evening, Amelia."
Dumbledore greeted the other party, and after noticing that Harry was hesitant to speak, he smiled and explained, "When the Triwizard Tournament is over, the Quidditch pitch will return to its original state! Okay, I think you can guess it.
What are we going to do here?"
No one spoke for a while, everyone looked at Albert.
"The third project is the maze." Albert said.
"That's right!" Dumbledore explained happily, "The content of the third project is very simple. We will put the Triwizard Tournament trophy in the center of the maze. Whichever warrior touches it first will get it.
Full marks.”
"We just need to go through the maze?" Fleur obviously didn't think the third project would be that simple.
"There will be many obstacles in the maze," Dumbledore said. "Hagrid has provided a lot of magical animals and some spells that need to be lifted. The third project mainly tests your strength, wisdom, courage and courage. The one with the leading score will
The brave man enters the maze first."
"I can understand that the first warrior to win the Triwizard Tournament trophy will win the Triwizard Tournament?" Albert suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's it." Dumbledore nodded and said, "Any other questions?"
"What advantage does the warrior who enters the maze first have?" Albert felt that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament were very strange in his previous life, and now he could finally complain about it.
"Advantage?"
"Yes, the advantage, should it be just entering the maze a few seconds before other warriors." The expression on Albert's face became more and more strange, "Or can the warrior with the leading score gain a clear time advantage?"
"There is no time advantage." Dumbledore was obviously aware of the problem, but he still said, "There is not much difference between the warriors entering the maze one after another."
"The rules of the Triwizard Tournament are really bad!" Hearing Albert complain, everyone turned their heads and stared at him?
"Do you have any more questions, Mr. Anderson?" Amelia Bones raised her eyebrows and looked at Albert.
"This means that both games will be meaningless." Albert directly pointed out the problem with the Triwizard Tournament.
"How could it be meaningless?"
"Does it really mean that in the order of scoring, the leading warrior can go first in the maze? Can it have a huge advantage?" Albert shook his head and said, "No, let alone a few seconds ahead, even a minute lead doesn't mean much.
The third project directly vetoes the significance of the existence of the previous two games and vetoes the efforts of all warriors."
"If you fail in the first two games and get the trophy in the maze in the third game, what's the point of winning the championship?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Albert, who had received perfect scores in the first two games, with a strange expression. They did not think that Albert was complaining because his advantages were lost in the third event.
"Don't look at me like that. Even if I start ten minutes later than you, I'm still confident of winning the championship." Albert curled his lips and said, "I have participated in many competitions, and the mechanism of the Triwizard Tournament is the worst, even against each other.
I can’t do it justice. I really don’t know if it’s been this bad in previous generations or if it’s this time.”
"Is there a big problem?"
Harry really didn't see it. He actually didn't care, and he didn't think Albert cared. This tone was just complaining about one thing.
"The warrior who won the trophy in the third event gets full points, and the others have no points, right? And the score of the competition is the total score added up of all the points, right?" Albert asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, that's true." Dumbledore nodded.
"If you get the trophy but lose the total points, wouldn't it be embarrassing not to win the championship?" Albert said with an increasingly weird expression, "So other people in the third event will have no points to ensure that they win the trophy.
The Warriors won the championship, but in this case, winning the trophy means winning the championship, and the first two projects completely lost their meaning of existence."
"Mr. Anderson, what do you think?" Amelia Bones also realized the problem.
"Takami doesn't count. I just want to remind you that the rules of the Triwizard Tournament should be changed. Even the Magic School Potions Championship, which has been criticized by countless people, does not have this problem. Even if it cannot be completely fair,
It is important to at least maintain relative fairness." Albert reminded, "And it is not difficult to do this."
If Albert hadn't received perfect scores in the previous two games, perhaps this statement would be more convincing.
As long as you have some brains, you can hear the problems involved. However, Albert's powerful strength keeps all the warriors clear-headed and unable to give rise to any feelings of envy and jealousy.
Envy and jealousy are based on the fact that everyone is on the same level.
This approach of winning the championship after winning the third game is simply throwing the previous two events under your feet, and also throwing the faces of all warriors on the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s just that no one cares about the outcome of the game, so no one noticed that there was a big problem with the Triwizard Tournament.
"It's been a long time since the Triwizard Tournament was held. There will inevitably be some oversights and problems during the period." Dumbledore looked at Albert with a smile, "However, I think it won't be much different for you."
"I don't mind, I just want to mention it in case the next Triwizard Tournament will be so bad, although I don't know if there will be another one yet."
Albert glanced at the task panel. The previous task that triggered the Triwizard Tournament rule issue had been completed.
For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly felt a strange feeling.
This is a warning.
Yes, warning.
Albert obviously would not deliberately stir up trouble. Even if he knew that there were problems with the rules of the Triwizard Tournament, he would probably only remind him privately.
However, Albert said it directly now, and the conversation in the office made him feel more and more that this was a warning.
If Albert knew what Dumbledore was thinking, he would definitely complain: You think too much.
He just does a task, and the experience reward is not much, but it is not too little.
As for the warning?
Albert really didn't know.
However, what he didn't know was that Dumbledore really had a feeling that if Albert really died in the third project, something terrible might happen.
In fact, Dumbledore's intuition was right.
Albert was indeed fully prepared, even considering that he would unfortunately die in the maze.
If you are really unfortunate enough to die, you will overturn the chessboard at all costs and put it on everyone's head. When the time comes, all the secrets will be exposed, and no one will have a good time. I believe that the entire magical world will definitely put on a wonderful show.
Anyway, I will be dead by then, and other family members have made arrangements.
No matter how chaotic the magic world is, he doesn't care about him.
"If there are no other problems, then go back. It's already very late. Pay attention to safety on the way back." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Everyone left the Quidditch pitch. Amelia Bones quietly walked to Albert and said in a low voice: "Can I say a few words to you?"
"No problem." Albert nodded and said.
"Someone suggested that I come to you. They said you made a prophecy!" Amelia Bones did not forget the purpose of her visit and said straight to the point.
To be honest, Amelia Bones actually doesn't need to come. After all, she is only serving as a temporary referee. Even if she does come, she should be the new Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, but the director who just took office is a temporary transfer.
Yes, I'm still cleaning up the mess left by Ludo Bagman after he ran away.
Most of the directors of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports are Quidditch players. If nothing else happens, Ludo Bagman will stay in this position for at least a few more years, and his successor will be trained by then.
, but that guy fooled everyone.
Therefore, Amelia Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, took the time to come here in order to make the Triwizard Tournament seem fair.
"What do you want from me?" Albert asked.
"That prophecy, they say you are a very powerful prophecy master." Amelia Bones said.
"People like you will definitely not believe such nonsense." Albert knew that the other party did not believe everything, and he probably came here just to try his luck.
After all, seeing is believing.
"No, I believe it." Amelia Bones said seriously, "I want to know the truth."
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. Just like the prediction you heard, the mysterious man will make a comeback soon." Albert stopped and asked Bones: "Didn't you go to other famous fortune-tellers?
?At least more reliable than me, an ungraduated wizard."
"If you are not reliable, then who is? Mr. Anderson, don't underestimate yourself." Amelia Bones said softly: "Many fortune tellers are not reliable.
Not many people have the power of prophecy.”
"Cassandra Wabraski." Albert said without hesitation: "The author of "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future" should be able to give you the answer. I remember she is not dead yet."
"She's very old and doesn't do fortune-telling anymore." Amelia Bones was considering the possibility of visiting Cassandra Wabraski, whom she had no friendship with at all, and Cassandra.
Della Vabraski has long since given up fortune-telling."
"The centaurs think that people in the wizarding world are just spending a brief period of peace between two wars, and I saw on the crystal ball the report in the Daily Prophet that the mysterious man was coming back." Albert told Ami.
Leah Bones introduced her divination ability, "I can only predict the future through the crystal ball. What I see may not be true, but at least I see it."
As he spoke, Albert took out a bag from his pocket, took out a small crystal ball from it, and handed it to Bones. There was a report about Voldemort on the crystal ball.
"You won't catch me suddenly!" Albert said suddenly.
Amelia Bones glanced at the bag in Albert's hand that was cast with a traceless stretching spell, and didn't care. Instead, she returned the crystal ball to Albert and said: "It seems you know why I
Came to find you."
"I know something." Albert suddenly said, "But..."
"But what?" Bones asked.
"You might be dying."
"You predicted my death?" Amelia Bones' face became ugly, but she quickly returned to normal.
"You can think so."
"Who killed me?" Bones asked.
"The person who killed you should be the mysterious person. They will not allow you to take Fudge's position. I heard that you have a grudge against the mysterious person." Albert reminded.
More than just hatred, the Bones family is one of the most powerful families.
Now the entire family has begun to become lonely, entirely thanks to Voldemort and the Death Eaters. This is why she hurriedly came to see Albert today.
"Thank you for the warning."
Bones didn't fully believe it, but she was still wary because she did have a deep hatred for Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
"Gambling is not a good habit. You will usually lose miserably." Albert reminded, "For those of you who have deep hatred, I suggest you avoid it for a few years. I wish you good luck!"
"You mean..."
Amelia Bones looked at Albert's leaving figure, and she noticed that Albert used "you".
She is alone, and everyone else in her family died in the last wizarding war. The so-called "you" should refer to her and her relatives.
Does this mean that she and her relatives will be in danger?
Whether the prediction is accurate or not will be known soon.
In fact, Albert never cared whether Amelia Bones would die or what would happen to the Bones family. After all, they were just strangers, just selling each other a few favors casually without suffering any loss anyway.
Cast the net wide and catch more fish.
She was a strong woman. It was impossible for her to give up her career and hide after listening to Albert's reminder, so she would probably die.
Even if Amelia Bones eventually becomes the Minister of Magic, she will probably die because her hatred against Voldemort and the Death Eaters is too great.
