Elder Blood Witcher 435 Regurgitate...

Ludo "Oh Merlin! Is that Victor Krum!?! Ladies and Gentleman we apologise for you all having to witness this." he says in a queasy sounding voice.

Karkaroff marches over and starts examining his corpse, not minding the melted flesh that attempts to stick to his fingers. "Vhat is this! Foul play!" he shouts.

A few officials with iron stomachs march over to see what he's going on about but they raise a brow when they see it.

Karkaroff "He vas dead before he even got eaten!" he exclaims, causing the crowd to turn towards Harry and Ciri.

Crouch walks over with a stiff upper lip and nods, "This wound must have killed him instantly."

Karkaroff "I DEMAND SATISFACTION DUMBLEDORE! You're students kills Viktor!"

Dumbledore rubs his forehead, "Igor, I think you are misunderstanding something..." he holds his hand up to stop the Bulgarian interrupting him. "Dumbledore walks over to one of the Squids tentacles and levitates it, causing the skin to retract and reveal a large bony spike that looks roughly the same size of the wound that Krum had sustained. "This should be a valid explanation." he says, laying the spike next to Krum.

Karkaroff grits his teeth and shakes his head, "No! Check their wands, they must have something to do with it!" he shouts, not wishing to believe Dumbledore's explanation.

Dumbledore nods and waves the officials to do so, "While I too mourn for the loss of such a talented young man, you cannot start blaming others. You said it before that if someone is killed in the tournament then it would be due to their own inadequacies." he says firmly but calmly.

Karkaroff "Nonesense! Viktor vas superior than all of the other Champions by far, the only way he'd lose is due to Hogwarts and Beauxbaton's colluding against us!"

Madam Maxime steps forwards and glares down at Igor, "How dare you! Beauxbaton iz an honourable inst.i.tution that would never stoop to such uncouth tactics! You will hold your tongue or you will find yourself in court for slander!" she shouts.

Karkaroff growls at her, "Shut your mouth you half-blood b.i.t.c.h! You have killed Viktor and the Bulgarian ministr-" he's stopped abruptly when a large fist connects with his face, causing many black teeth to escape his mouth as if they weren't even secure in the first place. He falls to the completely unconscious with a ma.s.sive mark on the side of his face.

Dumbledore glances at Madam Maxime who's looked at her clenched fist in satisfaction but also worry. "Do not worry Olympe, we'll send Krum's body back so they can have a proper funeral and also request the Bulgarian Ministry for an explanation of Igor's words, and whether or not he represented them or Durmstrang."

She nods through pursed lips and thanks Dumbledore before leaving without even giving her score for the event.

Ludo sweats in the announcer seat as the tournament falls apart at it's seams. "Er... Well... We will have the score presented tomorrow during breakfast! Thank you all for coming and we again apologise to you all for having to witness some truly terrible things." he says quickly and escapes before anyone can ask him anything.

...

Reima looks around and realises that the only people with authority left are the helpers for the tournament, Dumbledore, Hogwarts teachers and a few Auror's scribbling a report on Krum and their findings. "Er, did they just ditch us?" he asks the group of Ciri, Fleur and Gabrielle.

Ciri shrugs, "No one ever said they were reliable... In-fact there's quite a lot of evidence for the contrary."

Reima "I know but usually they atleast try to save face in the public eye... They probably feel safer due to Skeeter's disappearance."

Fleur "I will join you two "there" after I drop Gabby back at ze carriage."

Gabrielle "But I want to come with you!" she exclaims.

Fleur "You have lessons to attend to, I need to speak with Rei and Ciri in private." she says, causing the young girl to pout.

Reima "I'll need to bring Harry as well... I'm not sure what we'll tell him but he should know a couple things as he's proven trustworthy..."

The girls nod, Fleur goes to drop her sister off while Ciri retrieves Snuffles from Luna who thanks both her and the rabbit for spending time with her.

Reima walks up to Harry who's waiting around for the scores that'll never come, probably because he didn't hear Ludo's announcement. "Yo Harry?" he asks with the boy jumping at his voice.

Hermione gives him a weird look at his reaction but doesn't comment on it.

Harry "Y-yeah?"

Reima "I need to speak with you, think I can borrow him for a while Hermione?" he asks the girl who examines for a moment before nodding. Reima pats Harry on the shoulder while directing him to their destination. "You wanted answers so that's what you'll get." he says, as Harry rapidly thinks of what's about to happen to him.
