Their recent encounters were definitely not very good. Ron's name inexplicably appeared in the Goblet of Flames.
All the young wizards' attitudes toward them had changed dramatically. Rita Skeeter's fabricated story in the Daily Prophet aggravated all of this. When they met other students in the hallway, they didn't greet them cheerfully, but mocked them endlessly.
The scar on Harry's head was still hurting. He didn't dare say anything, not even to Elwyn, Hermione, and the others.
Ron's situation was even worse. His first opponent in the competition was a fire dragon!
Letting Ron face the fire dragon was no different from murder.
Elwyn wasn't doing well either. He still hadn't figured out Barty Crouch Jr.'s plot.
As for Hermione, while she was busy with her studies, she also had to be distracted by the S.P.E.W.'s matters. She had to do thankless things.
Sirius listened patiently and did not interrupt. Everyone talked about these things at once, and Sirius listened patiently without interrupting.
He was like an elder, listening to everyone talk about their troubles.
"Sirius, they must be joking with me, right?!" Ron finally said, full of hope. "Tell me, the first event won't be a fire dragon at all?!"
"Ron!" Sirius looked at him and said seriously, "I came here to talk to you about this. The first event is indeed a fire dragon. I just found out that Barty Crouch planned the competition."
"Then I'm definitely screwed!" Ron said in a desperate tone.
After getting a positive answer from Sirius, he finally shattered his fantasy.
"Don't worry about the fire dragon. We can deal with it!" Sirius said carelessly. "We can talk about this later. Before that, there are a few things I must remind you of."
"What is it?!" Everyone looked at him in surprise. There couldn't be anything more terrifying than a fire dragon, could there?!
"It's Kakarov!" Sirius said, "I spoke to Elwyn alone before school started, but the recent events made me decide to warn you guys. He's a Death Eater. You all know what a Death Eater is, right?"
'Yes! 'said Harry, looking very surprised.' What, what happened to him? '
"He was arrested and imprisoned with me in Azkaban, but he was released. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Dumbledore had placed an Auror in the Hogwarts this year, precisely to guard against him. You know, it was Moody who caught Kakarov and imprisoned him in Azkaban. "
Everyone was shocked by this news and could not believe that Durmstrong's headmaster was a Death Eater.
This was definitely a shocking piece of news. If Rita Skeeter knew about it …
"Sirius, what have you discovered recently?" Elwyn asked.
"It's the Lord Voldemort!" Sirius said, ignoring everyone's expressions. "As you know, the Auror have been tracking the vampires recently. They've been very active."
"I didn't see any news about this in the newspapers," Hermione said. "Everything is very quiet."
"Fudge thinks that it needs to be kept a secret from the Daily Prophet." Sirius said quickly. "Those vampires have done a lot of things abroad, and the Lord Voldemort is behind them."
"Those vampires?!" Elwyn frowned.
Damn it, Keresis had never told him these things.
Keresis was the leader of the vampire clan. Elwyn had originally thought that since he was in the Hogwarts, the remaining vampires would be much quieter and hide from the Ministry of Magic.
Moreover, Keresis had said that the Lord Voldemort did not believe them at all.
But now it seemed that things were not like that at all. The Lord Voldemort and the vampires must have some ulterior motive.
"I've talked to Dumbledore about this. We think that he might have taken the statue." Sirius said. "The traces of those vampires have appeared in many ancient ruins left behind by ancient warlocks. The Lord Voldemort might have some plans. They seem to be looking for something!"
"Looking for what?" Elwyn asked.
"Not sure. We currently know very little about the statue of the evil god and the ruins left behind by the ancient warlocks." Sirius said with a sigh. "And these things all happened abroad. Even in the Americas, there are traces of them. The Ministry of Magic's power is beyond the reach of those inaccessible jungles and abandoned ruins."
No one said a word. Their computers were struggling to absorb yet another piece of sensational news.
The frequent appearance of vampires in ancient ruins looking for something was definitely not a good sign.
Elwyn decided to find a chance to talk to Keresis. He did not know what the Lord Voldemort was planning.
Was he planning to summon the evil god, or was he preparing to obtain a more powerful dark force from the evil god statue?!
"Well, this is not something you should think about. Let's continue talking about Kakarov." Sirius said.
"You just said that he was released back then?" Harry asked slowly. "Why did they release him? Shouldn't all Death Eaters be imprisoned in Azkaban for life?"
"That's true, but he did a lot of work with the Ministry of Magic." Sirius said resentfully. "He said he realized his mistake, and then he named a lot of people. He sent a lot of people to Azkaban to take his place. I can tell you that he is very unpopular there. As far as I know, he has been teaching black magic to the students of his school. So, you have to be wary of the warrior of Durmstrand. "
"You mean Krum?!" Ron immediately retorted. "That's impossible. He's a good person."
"Ron, besides his performance in Quidditch, what else do we know about him?" Hermione said, looking a little panicked. "Sirius is right. We have to be careful, especially at a time like this."
Ron wanted to refute, but in the end, he did not say anything. He just grunted a few times in dissatisfaction.
"Fine!" Harry said slowly. "Sirius, do you think it was Kakarov who threw Ron's name into the Goblet of Fire? If it was him, then he's really good at acting. He was so angry about it that he wanted to stop Ron from participating. "
