290 Where's Tom
"Dobby, can you steal Moody's bottle?"
Aside from his wand, the only thing Moody always carries with him is his curved wine bottle, and if this Moody is fake, Harry thinks he's in the right disguise. The real Moody's is already fond of drinking, maybe he doesn't drink so often at work, but who knows if he will change when he retires?
After a while, after a while, many people will think that this person is even more obsessed with alcohol, and even alcohol poisoning. A good excuse and a good way, but he shouldn't have stolen Snape's herbs, let alone dived into the water at the most special time.
Snape's medicinal herbs were actually lost, and although there were many precious herbs in them, Harry confirmed that many of them might be tricks, just to confuse the public, so as not to suspect the body of the compound potion.
Although they had not found any other herbs in Professor Moody's office, Harry believed there must be a ghost in it.
Maybe that person has already destroyed all the medicinal herbs, after making what he needs.
Harry knew he was already startling, but he wasn't worried, he had a way to catch Moody's tail and steal his bottle.
Harry said they were scareless, so he needed some help.
If he was Moody, he would have wondered if he had been discovered, and he would have eliminated all traces that should have been removed, especially the Polyjuice Potion.
But people are a little uncertain about themselves, and Harry needs a drug that resembles a polyjuice decoction to fool Professor Moody.
So Dumbledore called Snape, who was the best person to help if it was potions.
Snape saw Harry when he came in, and if Harry hadn't been there, he would have deducted Harry's score severely. But now that Harry had Dumbledore's backing, he couldn't move.
Dumbledore explained why he had called Snape, Harry needed some help, and when Snape heard that Moody was under suspicion, he suddenly remembered Moody's proposal in the second game, when he thought that this man had proposed to let Draco into the water because he hated the children of the Death Eaters, but now it seems ...... Not because he was a Death Eater, but because he was a Death Eater who betrayed Voldemort.
Even if Moody was fake, the person pretending to be him must be someone who worships Voldemort.
"Potter, you're saying Loki saw Moody using gill sacs?"
You must know that the gill sac grass is a special kind of medicinal material, even Snape does not have much stock anywhere, and the gill sac grass was also among it when the herb was lost, and Snape was also suspicious of Harry at that time, he thought that Harry stole it in order to participate in the competition, after all, he had that ability.
"Yes, Thor, Loki, and Merlin all saw it."
Harry told the truth, Snape stood there touching his chin with his hand and didn't know what he was thinking, and then he turned away, promising Dumbledore to make something that tasted the same as Polyjuice Potion as quickly as he could.
"Alright, you go back first, Harry."
After seeing that everything was discussed, Dumbledore said to Harry to let him go, it was getting late, and Harry still needed sleep as an adolescent.
When Harry left, Dumbledore sat back on the stool, he sat there and looked at the ceiling, things were more complicated than he thought, Harry had been attacked during the game, and Mad Eye Moody had been hiding selfishness, he didn't even see it.
Everything was about Dumbledore's dereliction of duty.
The position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was truly cursed, and there had never been a professor here for more than a year, and he couldn't help but wonder if Tom's curse really took effect?
Tom? Riddle is really coming back, and he doesn't know what will happen, but he has to protect the school, the students here shouldn't be going through the darkness like before, and in Dumbledore's opinion, these students just need to grow up happy.
Don't let them go through the darkness.
Just Harry, Harry? Potter, Dumbledore sighed, sometimes some people need to grow, like Harry...... His fate had been set at the beginning, Voldemort couldn't have let Harry go, and the reason why he failed was because of Harry? Porter.
So Voldemort's fate and Harry were entangled from the beginning, what he could do was to help Harry, support Harry in the back, and protect Harry from being defeated by the way, Harry is the person who can become a beacon in the future wizarding world, he will become a legend, beyond his name, which is something that Dumbledore is sure of.
It's just that no one can say how many twists and turns will be experienced in the middle.
Dobby quickly stole the curved bottle from Moody's room, Harry opened it in front of Ron, he secretly observed Ron's expression, and sure enough, the man looked a little flustered, Harry smiled, so then Ron needed to sleep and wake him up after they finished dealing with Moody.
After all, Harry didn't want anyone to tell Moody behind his back, and by the way, he didn't want Ron to become Moody's hostage and shield.
Harry asked about the bottle, and the taste inside was indeed the taste of wine, but if you sniffed closely, you would find that there was a strange smell mixed in there, and Harry guessed that Moody must have guessed that they suspected himself, so he transferred the potion containing the polyjuice potion, and by the way, disguised the bottle that had once contained the potion as the real bottle.
If this is the case, this person should have no intention of leaving, and he wants to stay in this school too much, there should be something else, otherwise according to common sense, after being discovered, this person should leave immediately.
The more you try to hide, the more suspicious it becomes.
Harry told Dobby to bring the bottle to Professor Snape, and when he had packed it up, he would send it to Moody's room, and he would have a good show when he woke up tomorrow morning.
Ron started to fidget a little bit, and Harry turned his head to look at Ron and said, "Ron, what's wrong with you?" How do I feel like you're a little nervous? ”
Ron didn't know why Harry was staring at him, he laughed dryly twice and said, "No, no, I'm a little sleepy." ”
Harry shook his head, "You know you're not very good at lying. ”
Ron's expression became even more nervous, Harry stood up and came to his side, he waved his hand to the two roommates in the same room, telling them not to move, he and Ron were not going to fight, let alone fight, he just wanted Ron to sleep.
"Harry, what are you talking about?"
"Actually, don't you know, I told you before that I should practice more ways to resist the Imperius Curse, and you see you just don't listen."
Ron's hand grabbed his wand, Harry hooked his hand and Ron sat on the bed / unable to move, Harry laughed helplessly, this Ron is still not good at learning, he stretched out his hand and put it in front of Ron's eyes, and then he recited a spell, "Pass out." ”
Ron's eyes widened at first, and then he collapsed on the bed/.
Neville looked at Harry and asked cautiously, "Harry, what are you...... What do you mean? ”
Harry looked Neville up and down and waved his hand, "Something's wrong, Ron needs a good night's sleep." ”
Tomorrow is the real battlefield, and I don't know if that Moody professor will sleep peacefully tonight.
Snape handed the bottle to Dobby, who knew the former Malfoy elf and had heard Lucius say that he had given the house-elf clothes and told him to find a new owner on his own, but now it seemed that Dobby had declared his loyalty to Harry.
"Just put it back in before Moody wakes up."
"Yes, Mr. Snape."
Although Dobby has not rested for a day and a night, he is still in good spirits, he understands from the importance that Harry attaches to this matter that the matter about Moody may be a crisis event, so he will do the task Harry gave him with his heart, he does not want to mess up this matter.
Moody didn't know that these people had taken precautions against him, he couldn't leave Hogwarts, and if he did, the resurrection of his master might have an impact, his master had waited so long that he couldn't lose everything because of his negligence. He had thought about the mistakes he had made, and if he had overlooked, he had accidentally met the little Lestrades, and had met them before the effects of the medicine had worn off.
That little imp is so shrewd that he probably has already suspected him.
Another thing is that he thought Harry and Ron? Weasley was a friend who talked about everything, but later when he took control of Ron, he found out that Harry also had a lot of things to hide from Harry, and it was also funny that an immortal savior actually believed in the children of the Death Eaters, and even liked a child of the Death Eaters.
Lucius? Malfoy,
That damned traitor, the man who should have been locked up in Azkaban, seemed to him Lucius to have betrayed their master, and it was utterly hateful. He proposed to make the Malfoy children hostage, just to get revenge on Lucius, who knew that he underestimated Harry's ability, although he was not the first to go back, but he actually let Cedric take Draco? Malfoy's return trip made him unable to do anything if he wanted to cause a small accident.
But don't worry, when his master returns, these people will have to pay their own price.
While he was still asleep, Moody heard someone knocking on his door, he immediately woke up, and when he drank the potion, the people outside also came in with a door opening charm, Moody pretended to be unhappy, patted his bed vigorously, and scolded, "Damn, who is it!" Don't know how to be polite? I even casually entered someone else's room. ”
After Moody came out of the bedroom, the first thing he saw was Dumbledore, he wrinkled his nose and looked at Dumbledore and said, "Dumbledore, what do you mean by that?!" ”
He's a professor after all, is Dumbledore disrespecting him?
Dumbledore smiled kindly and said to Moody, "Someone sneaked into the school last night, and we need to check it for the safety of the students, because we were worried that the prisoner would sneak away, so we took the liberty of coming in." ”
Dumbledore couldn't make a draft if he lied, and Moody wanted to curse now, and he clenched the wand in his sleeve tightly, thinking that he should have been discovered, and that they were checking on him under the guise that someone had entered Hogwarts.
Moody's relented, "You guys whatever." ”
His eyes were fixed on the open office door, and he was looking for a direction to get out as soon as possible.
But at this time, someone silently closed the door, and then at this time he showed his head, and he said with a worried face: "I almost left a loophole, what if that person is really in the professor's room, and he is running away in a panic." ”
"Harry? Porter? How are you here, is this where you are supposed to be a little kid? ”
Moody was close to Harry, and if something happened, he could have grabbed Harry right away and used it as a shield, but Harry quietly took two steps back and began to look around Moody's office, "Professor, I found someone coming in, and we had a little bit of a conflict at the time, so I was able to help." ”
Moody could see that Harry was wary of him, his expression cooled, and the fake eye began to roll from side to side, he was thinking about how he would have escaped if he had waited for being discovered, and Moody began to regret it, if only he had left sooner.
Harry came to the box that Dobby was talking about, he reached out and touched the box and said, "Professor, what do you do with this box?" Could someone be hiding inside? ”
He also reached out and knocked on the box, put his ear to it and listened.
"Don't move around, it's all dangerous in there."
Only Moody knew what was in there, and if he was discovered, he really couldn't disguise it. As he stared nervously at Harry, Snape stepped out of the bedroom, his bottle in hand.
"Dumbledore." He called out Dumbledore's name, then looked at Moody, "This is a polyjuice potion." ”
Perhaps it was because he was nervous, and when he woke up in the morning, he was not clear-headed, so when he heard the Polyjuice Potion, he immediately took out his wand and pointed it in Harry's direction, and then the man also took a step towards Harry.
Harry suddenly laughed as he looked at Moody as he lunged at him, and he also took out his wand and pointed it at Moody, "Professor, what do you mean by that?" ”
Dumbledore frowned completely, Harry's suggestion was really not wrong, they had created a state of tension from the beginning, so Moody briefly forgot that he had changed the potion, he was too nervous.
"Avada suo."
Moody's spell made everyone's hearts rise at once, they didn't expect Moody to use the killing curse, but before his words fell, the wand in Moody's hand was knocked away, Harry put his face on Moody and put his hand on Moody, he looked at Moody's expression and indifference, as if he were looking at a worm.
"Professor, you're in a hurry, aren't you?"
Although he said this with a smile, he did laugh angrily, Moody was immediately frozen in place by Snape and Professor McGonagall, he looked at Harry with a shudder, Harry's smiling expression reminded him of a person.
"Professor, it's not a compound decoction, it's just the same taste."
Harry finished speaking and stood back next to the box, and Dumbledore watched as Moody waved at Snape, who now had the right to use a small way to get Moody to tell all his truths. Harry knocked on the box again, and he heard a voice coming from inside, it was supposed to be Dobby's saying that someone was locked up.
"Alajo Cave / Open."
Harry hadn't used his wand because he was nervous, and now he was pointing his wand at the lock on the top of the box and chanting the spell.
This time, Dumbledore brought Snape and McGonagall with him, because the only people he could trust were these two for the time being, and Moody's matter needed to be resolved privately, because what kind of changes would happen later, they couldn't leak this matter in front of the other two schools, and the Ministry of Magic was not trustworthy, so Dumbledore decided to solve it himself.
"Professor."
Harry looked at the bottomless chest, which looked like there were seven locks, and it looked like it was well protected.
Harry poked his head in, and there was a large pit at the bottom of the box, like a basement. About three meters deep lay a man on the floor, skinny as wood, as if asleep. It's the real Mad-Eye Moody. His wooden legs were gone, the eyelids of the MONOCULUS were empty, and the gray hair was missing a few pinches.
Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and then at the fake Moody, in fact, Professor McGonagall didn't know if it was really good to involve Harry in such a cruel and dark thing, she had also mentioned it to Dumbledore before, but Dumbledore said that Harry needed to grow, he already had his own mind, and if that person was resurrected, Harry would be his first target.
So Harry needed to know everything, and he had a reason to know everything.
"Imperius Curse."
Dumbledore sighed, the real Moody looked much weaker, and he needed immediate treatment.
Harry looked at the man standing there with a deformed face and said, "Who are you?" Fake Professor Moody. ”
The man didn't speak, and when the medicinal properties of the compound decoction had passed, the man's true face was finally revealed, he had light yellow hair, and his skin looked very pale, Dumbledore looked at the man and called out his name, "Little Barty?" Crouch. ”
Little Barty? Crouch has the same name as the missing Mr. Crouch, so this person can only be the son of that Crouch.
If Harry remembers correctly, does he remember that Barty? Crouch's son was a Death Eater, so it made sense why he hated himself and Draco like this.
Little Barty? Crouch looked at the people in the room and laughed, "Why are you so surprised?" I've long since come out of Azkaban, the damn old man tried to control me, but he failed, and I should be grateful to my mother, if it wasn't for her I might still be in Azkaban. ”
Little Barty? After Crouch was discovered, he began to have no scruples, and began to talk about his hatred of Harry, his dislike of Malfoy, and yes, Snape. He had thought that Snape was Voldemort's spy on Dumbledore, but now it seems that this is not the case, and he has actually pledged allegiance to Dumbledore.
Harry just watched him quietly, it was this man who controlled Ron, Ron had been sent to Madam Pomfrey for treatment this morning, and should soon be back to his original state, such an experience must not be a good memory for Ron.
"Harry? Potter, it's ridiculous that you actually fell in love with a Death Eater child. ”
"You're not supposed to control Ron's." Harry stated the fact that the most failed thing he did was to control Ron, and that Ron was actually a simple person, or rather a stupid person, and it was very easy to find out whether he changed people or not.
"No, my biggest mistake was to accidentally run into those brothers of yours, and I relented and didn't kill them."
Harry seems to have heard the most ridiculous joke and wants to deal with his brothers? Who gave Barty Jr.? Crouch had so much faith that his brothers were more likely to leave than he did, in magic. To be honest, he had never seen anyone more powerful than Loki and Merlin teaming up, and he promised that even Dumbledore would not be able to deal with both of them alone.
So little Barty? Crouch was just making excuses for his own failures.
"Tom? Where is Riddle? ”
"I won't say it unless you kill me."
It is impossible for him to betray his master, his dearest master, little Barty? Crouch laughed arrogantly, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, he failed but it doesn't mean that his master will also fail, his master will become the master of the wizarding world and even this world, and be worshiped by everyone.
"You will all be my master's stepping stones, and the prosperity will come soon!" 166 Reading Network
