There are only two days until the opening ceremony, and the camping area is already overcrowded. People spontaneously carry out various celebration activities, dress up as the mascots of each team, and revel in the camping area. There are lights of all kinds of magic everywhere. Children They chased and fought in the air on flying broomsticks, and some even breathed fire.
"On the day of the opening ceremony, there will be more than 100,000 people in the camping area, only half of whom are wizards, and the other half are Muggle family members of wizards." Lauter explained to Bai Lin.
Looking at this messy scene, Bai Lin swallowed his saliva and said, "How many people are there in the Auror office to maintain order here?"
"Mainly people from DMAC. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is personally led by Mr. Crouch, and I have ten Aurors on duty." Lauter said matter-of-factly.
"One hundred thousand people...there are only ten Aurors, haha..." Bai Lin was a little speechless, but the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic is the department with the least people. There are many reasons, including the most difficult Auror exam and the highest risk of casualties. , and many people believe that Voldemort will never come back, and dark wizards will never appear, resulting in a permanent shortage of manpower in this department. In the many battles with Voldemort in the original book, the Aurors did not play their due role at all. effect.
Bai Lin looked at the camping area happily, but it was full of safety and security risks. He really didn't know how to effectively control the situation once there was any danger.
Recalling the plots in the original book and the movie, it is true that the Ministry of Magic had nothing to guard against. Several Death Eaters came in a big way and burned the entire camping area to the ground. In the end, they walked away without arresting any of them. live.
After the hearing, the twins had returned the broom to Bai Lin. He asked Zhuo Bi and Yu Qian to work together to draw a map of the entire stadium and camping area. He would ride the broom and walk around to familiarize himself with the venue. Because it is very possible that Death Eaters or Spell Breakers are hidden among these 100,000 spectators.
If he was wary of Death Eater attacks, Bai Lin thought of some differences between the original book and the movie. In the movie, Barty Crouch Jr. had already met with Voldemort, lurked around the arena, and organized Death Eaters to set fires. After the murder, a dark mark was released in the air. There is absolutely no logic in this paragraph. It seems that the Death Eaters are just here to kill people for fun and then tell the world that although we don't know whether Voldemort can be resurrected, we Death Eaters are still here, so come and catch us!
The explanation in the original book is slightly more reasonable. Barty Jr.'s mother used Polyjuice Potion to transform into her son, and replaced Barty Jr. from Azkaban, and she died in prison as her son. . After Barty escaped from prison, he was imprisoned at home by his father, Barty Crouch, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He struggled not to have access to his wand and could not find his Death Eater organization until the Quidditch World Cup. held.
Little Barty asked Crouch's house elf Sparkle to plead with Old Barty. Old Barty was really short-circuited and used an invisibility cloak to take his son to watch the game. He was busy directing the security of the entire stadium. When he had time to take care of his son, this filial son stole the wand from Harry who was watching the game, and took advantage of the chaos to send out the Dark Mark, which meant that my little Barty was back and I wanted to find the organization. At this time, he didn't Knowing that Voldemort needed to capture Harry or take Harry's blood.
However, Bai Lin analyzed that this should not follow the plot of the original work, because among Voldemort's biggest fans, Peter and Bella have already died in his own hands, and the servants who have joined Voldemort in the prophecy are likely to Just like in the movie, it's Barty Crouch Jr.
So the question comes again. If Barty Jr. organized this attack, what was he doing for it? Shouldn't resurrecting Voldemort be the first task at this time? Since he knew how to mix Polyjuice Potion, he could just become someone who could make Harry relax his guard, get the key to the Riddle House, find Harry, and just take him away. Why go through such a big detour and give him The mission creates so many unnecessary surprises.
These unexplainable things in the original book and the movie are of course all for the purpose of leading out the plot of the Goblet of Fire competition. And Bai Lin is not in a wizarding world that revolves around Harry alone, so Barty must be the original one. He planned to grab Harry and leave, and it could have been anyone among the 100,000 spectators - the old man sitting on the grass drinking butterbeer, the fat man grilling sausages on some kind of grill beside the tent, Teenagers riding broomsticks chasing each other, clowns wearing colorful hats performing...
It must be the spiritual connection between Harry and Voldemort that made Voldemort know that Harry would come to watch the World Cup, so he asked Barty Jr. to catch him. So since Harry is here to watch the finals on August 22, Bai Lin still has two months to find Barty Jr. in advance.
Just when he was thinking that he still had two months left, Bai Lin saw an acquaintance.
Sirius Black emerged from a rather old but still exquisite tent, followed by a man with glasses, who was none other than Harry himself.
Bai Lin suddenly realized that it seemed that his appearance had greatly affected the original plot line. Harry, who no longer had to spend the summer at his aunt's house on Privet Drive, would definitely go to Ron or his godfather Black.
Ron's family could only watch one final because they were poor, but Black had a lot of money. Since he knew that Harry liked Quidditch, he would definitely take him to watch the opening ceremony.
"Kailin!" Blake also saw Bai Lin slowly descending. He frowned and came forward: "Seeing you, I suddenly had an ominous premonition."
Harry looked at Bai Lin, blinked, and shouted a little unfamiliarly: "Hello, Professor..."
Bai Lin nodded towards Harry and said to Black: "Although I really want to refute you... because I am an employee of the Ministry of Magic and now a patrolman of the World Cup Security Team... However, I have to tell you that your hunch is right... "
In Blake's very grand villa tent, but still full of strange things, Bai Lin told Blake and Harry his guess - Barty Crouch Jr., who had escaped from prison, might be lurking in the crowd and preparing to attack. Harry, the reason didn't say that he wanted to take blood to help Voldemort resurrect, so as to avoid the suspicion of "how did you know?", it just said that he wanted to claim credit from Voldemort.
Blake frowned, lost in thought.
"When you say that, I have some impression that in Azkaban... Barty Crouch Jr. did seem to have completely changed. He suddenly couldn't stand the torture of the Dementors and died... If you are talking about Really, he is a murderer without blinking an eye...and a loyal servant of Voldemort...he is a madman."
Blake concluded: "Harry, I must take you back to Grimmauld Place! Now! I can't let you risk it!"
