Chapter 225: Chapter 224 "Harry's Heart"
"...Then send an owl to deliver a message to Madam Maxime. She may also want to increase the number of students, since Karkaroff's number has increased to twelve... Let's do it, Weatherby, okay? OK? OK..."
Mr. Crouch's eyes bulged. He stood there, staring straight at the tree, muttering silently. Then, he staggered a few steps to the side and fell to his knees.
"Mr. Crouch?" Harry slowly walked towards Crouch.
Crouch did not look at him but kept talking to a nearby tree. Suddenly, Crouch staggered to the side and fell to his knees.
"Mr. Crouch?" Harry shouted, "Are you okay?"
Crouch's eyes rolled up. Harry turned to look at Skyler. At this time, Skyler also entered the bushes and said calmly: "What happened to him?"
"I don't know," Harry whispered, "Listen, you'd better go and call someone quickly-"
"Dumbledore!" Crouch gasped. He rushed over, grabbed Harry's robes, and pulled him to him, but his eyes were staring directly above Harry's head. "I want... to see... Dumbledore..."
"Okay," said Harry, "as soon as you get up, Mr. Crouch, we'll go find-"
"I did... one... Stupid thing..." Crouch gasped. He looked completely crazy. His eyes protruded outwards and rolled around. Drool dripped down his chin. "You must... tell... Dumbledore..."
"Get up, Mr. Crouch," Harry said loudly and clearly, "get up quickly. I'll take you to see Dumbledore!"
Mr. Crouch's eyes turned around and glared at Harry. "Who...are you?" he asked quietly.
"I'm a student at school," Harry said.
"You're not...his?" Crouch asked softly, his mouth drooping.
"No," said Harry, who had no idea what Crouch was talking about.
"Dumbledore's man?" Crouch continued while scrutinizing Harry from below.
"Yes," Harry said.
Seeing that Crouch was unconscious and unable to communicate, Harry gave up his plan to take him to see Dumbledore - he planned to bring Dumbledore here. So he tried to let go of Crouch's grip on his robe, but Crouch's grip was too tight.
Harry tried to get up and leave, but his movements seemed to irritate Crouch, and he hugged Harry's arms. Knee, dragging Harry to the ground.
Skyler sighed. "Potter, we are wizards. There are many ways to find Dumbledore -" Skyler said a little helplessly: "Running from here to the principal's office with one pair of feet is undoubtedly the stupidest way."
He pointed with his wand. A dead branch on the ground instantly turned into an owl, with Harry's name engraved on it. "Go and find Dumbledore. The window of the principal's office is on the eighth floor." The owl fanned. He flapped his wings and flew away.
"Ah..." Harry's face suddenly turned red when he saw Skyler's calm reaction, feeling a little ashamed of his panic just now. He said hoarsely: "What should we do now?"
"Wait!" Skyler smiled, "Dumbledore should be here soon. Before that..." Skyler waved at Mr. Crouch. A wave of the wand lulled him into a deep, peaceful sleep.
After Mr. Crouch fell asleep, the scene suddenly became quiet. Harry couldn't help but recall the previous conversation with Skyler and then thought of the charming Cho. Suddenly, a hot and unconvincing feeling began to resurface in his heart.
Looking at Skyler's neatly combed, light blond hair and his stinky face that was somewhat similar to Draco's, the disgust in Harry's heart grew crazily, "Who do you think you are? You're just. It's just because the family has some money and power..." Harry thought viciously, "Cho is definitely not that superficial. She was just blinded by your appearance... Don't forget, in the second project, I am the one with the highest score..."
Harry clenched his fists tightly, thinking of this, "I will beat you in the last event and win the championship, proving to Cho and everyone that I am better than you. I am the real warrior of Hogwarts!"
At this moment, his mind was filled with the fantasy of winning the championship - the image of him holding the Triwizard Cup high and the cheers of the crowd could be heard in his ears.
Among the crowd, Cho's delicate and outstanding face was filled with admiration, while the defeated Skyler was like a loser that no one cared about, kneeling in a shadow-covered corner...
Skyler's Illuminating Insight was already at full strength. When activated, all disturbances within the Forbidden Forest cannot be hidden from his perception. If Crouch wants to sneak attack on him, there will be absolutely no chance.
Unexpectedly, all the changes in the expression on Harry's face fell into Skyler's perception. Skyler gave Harry a silent and wandless Legilimency in a vague way and got a glimpse of the things in Harry's mind. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Suddenly, a ray of magic light flashed through. Skyler jumped sideways and nimbly avoided it. The wand in his hand pointed at the tree where the magic spell was emitted.
Harry also took out his wand, his expression serious and guarded.
"Who's there!" Harry shouted.
The opponent obviously had no intention of showing up but planned to continue using the terrain advantage to conduct an ambush. The Forbidden Forest was very dark at the moment.
If Skyler hadn't been able to spy on his surroundings using the Illuminating Insight, the sneak attack just now would have had at least a 99% chance of success.
"The enemy is lurking in the dark and is very disadvantageous to us," Skyler said solemnly, "Potter, you are the one true savior the wizarding world needs. This world cannot live without you. Find a chance to escape and find Dumbledore. He should have already been On the way here. I'll cover you and try to fend it off."
"But, I can't..."
"Listen! Potter!" Skyler's face was full of anger, "Are you a man? Stop it! Do you want us both to die here, and no one in the outside world knows about his return? Let's go! Quickly, we are running out of time, Potter!"
"I..." Harry was still hesitant. To be honest, he and Skyler definitely couldn't be called. Friendly friends can only be regarded as classmates. However, Harry's inner heroism complex did not allow him to leave Skyler and escape alone.
Harry's reaction was within Skyler's expectation, so Skyler used his ultimate move: "If anything happens to me, Cho, Cho will take care of you!"
Harry's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth, nodding heavily. As if there was wind under his feet, he ran all the way out of the Forbidden Forest without looking back.
After Harry left, the expression on Skyler's face calmed down instantly. The person coming must be Barty Jr., but judging from the magic that Barty Jr. has shown before, this version of him is different from the one in the original work.
Skyler has always suspected that he is involved in both the Death Eaters and the Shadow Dragon force.
But so what? No matter how powerful he is, he can't be stronger than Voldemort, right?
Skyler's strength has grown crazily this semester. It can be said that even if Voldemort comes today, he is confident that he will escape unscathed.
In Skyler's opinion, competing with Barty Jr. was much easier than acting in front of Harry. By the way, Harry is really easy to deceive...
