289 The Fox's Tail
Arthur found the lake fairy again, he wanted to confirm what had happened in the water that afternoon, if it had been before, the lake fairy would have wanted to make some conditions to answer Arthur's question, but they found something very interesting, Harry? Potter could see them, which meant that Harry had ancient magic.
Ordinary wizards are not aware of their existence, only those who have a relationship with the ancient religion can.
But in the prophecies of the Old Religion, there was no one named Harry? Potter's boys appeared, and although they had encountered two major wars in the wizarding world, they thought it was just a small fight and did not pose any threat to them.
Everything started to look a little different when Harry could see them, and if Harry could see them, he would be part of the rare wizarding world's ancient magic, which was very rare, and they needed to help Harry. The main thing is that the fairies of the lake have a good impression of Harry, they like the boy quite a lot, polite and responsible, and a bit like a combination of Arthur and Merlin.
"Someone put a spell in the water, but we didn't see what that person looked like when he was there, he was very surprised that there was such a thing as fish gills on his face, anyway, people are not ghosts."
Arthur touched/touched his chin, and it looked like someone was indeed plotting against Harry behind his back, and this person must have something to do with the so-called Voldemort.
"Did you say you had infiltrated Hogwarts found it?"
The fairies in the lake made a splash, there was no news, they hid, they should have hid in a place where there were more wizards, in the eyes of the fairies in the lake, the wizards in the wizarding world have similar magic, and they can't tell who is who if they use magic alone. Arthur pouted, habitually striking the lake fairy, "I really doubt how you became the lake fairy. ”
"Arthur? Pendragon! ”
"Arthur?"
The voices of the two people appeared at the same time, and the fairy in the lake, who was still angry just now, immediately silenced, and they secretly looked at Merlin who suddenly appeared next to Arthur in the water, Merlin looked left and right twice and asked Arthur, "Who were you talking to just now?" ”
Merlin secretly ran out to play by himself, he would not have been near the water, but when he accidentally saw Arthur's back, Merlin overcame his inner fear and cautiously came to Arthur's side. Arthur was obviously taken aback by Merlin, he hurriedly stood up but his feet slipped, Merlin looked at Arthur who fell into the lake and stared at Arthur, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to fix Arthur, and the fairy in the lake also reacted at the same time as Merlin,
They used their magic to push Arthur in the back when Merlin saw it.
Merlin looked into the middle of the lake as he pulled Arthur up, "What was that one?" Elf? ”
Merlin then pointed to the shadow of the fairy in the lake and said, "Look, Arthur, there are beautiful elves in the lake. ”
The fairies in the lake did not expect to be discovered, and they immediately dived deeper.
"You're wrong."
Arthur immediately dragged Merlin away, and was almost discovered by Merlin about the secret of the lake fairy, according to the agreement of the lake fairy, they could not see Merlin until Merlin regained his memory.
"Really?"
Merlin tilted his head, he couldn't be mistaken, there were beautiful elves in the lake.
"It's because they don't like me, that's why they don't want to see me."
Merlin came to such a sentence without a head, Arthur immediately replied no, and after saying that, he bit his tongue, damn the wrong thing, although little Merlin has amnesia, he is definitely not so easy to deceive. Merlin was now looking at him with his own swarthy eyes, as if waiting for him to explain why he said he wasn't.
"They're shy, I'll introduce you to you when I have time, okay?"
Merlin thought for a moment, "Okay, then we'll make an appointment." ”
"Okay."
Merlin's smile was Arthur's favorite thing, and he was happiest to see Merlin's smile, but he didn't say when he would introduce the fairy of the lake to Merlin. On the day their agreement came into effect, Arthur formally brought Merlin to the fairy of the lake to reacquaint them.
Dobby had been monitoring Moody, the man didn't seem to have anything suspicious, he was busy with his classes every day, he just liked to drink, and Dobby calculated that he drank the wine in the arc bottle every time he had a fixed time, he would take a sip every hour, it looked like a law, and it looked like a law for those people who were a little alcoholic, and if they didn't drink, they would feel sick all over.
Another strange thing is that Dobby is grateful that he is not the only one in the office of Moody, and there seems to be another wizard in a trance, but the breath is too faint for Dobby to be sure.
Dobby had been spying on Moody for five days now, and he told Harry what he saw every day.
Mad-Eye Moody doesn't seem to have anything suspicious, and he doesn't look any different other than being a little drunk. But it was because he didn't seem to be out of the ordinary that Harry was even more suspicious, and he needed to find some people to find out what the usual Mad-Eye Moody looked like, and see if there was any difference between the two.
"Draco, can you ask Professor Snape for a list of the herbs he's missing?"
It is said that Professor Snape lost a lot of herbs at that time, many of them were rare herbs, but because the types were different, they didn't know what those herbs could be made of, and if he could get the kind of herbs, they would definitely find out if Dobby went to Moody's to check them, and if that person was really suspicious, they would definitely find something.
If Moody was a prisoner, Harry wouldn't believe that he had destroyed all the medicinal herbs, or moved them somewhere, since this prisoner dared to steal medicinal materials from Snape, it must be of great use, and the most dangerous place was the safest place, if it was Harry, he would have kept things around.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that."
Draco is Snape's most trusted and favorite student, and Snape has also watched Draco grow up, and if Draco speaks up, Snape will definitely agree to him.
"Dobby can take a break lately and give you two days off."
Dobby nodded, "Harry? Potter, feel free to call me if you need it, Dobby is always on standby for you. ”
When Dobby disappeared into the Slytherin quarters, Draco looked at Harry with a sneer, "Harry? Potter, it looks like you're on good terms with Dobby, the house-elf who left our house. ”
Harry grabbed Draco's hand and looked at his fingers and said, "Dobby yearns for freedom so much, he's not a proper house-elf." ”
"What you stole from the Malfoy family, you're going to have to return later."
Harry chuckled as he kissed Draco's finger before looking up and winking at the man, "Isn't it enough for me to pay you myself?" ”
He liked this man, all the time, Harry didn't know if he was in love with Draco for a long time or love at first sight, the two of them had known each other for more than four years, and it was about to be five years, Harry was not yet fifteen years old, it should be said that he and Draco had known each other for a third of his life, maybe they would be together for a longer time later, more than five years.
"How can you compare to the last house-elf!"
Even though Draco was taunting Harry, but he didn't shake off Harry's grasp/hold his hand, Harry knew that this person was just talking, he pulled the person tighter, "How can it not be compared, I am not bad at what house-elves can cook, although the best cooking at home is Hannibal, but I also grew up with my brothers, simple cooking is still okay, don't underestimate me." ”
"So you're a house elf?"
Harry sighed, as if he had wrapped himself in.
"People say that people who are in love have a lower IQ, Harry, I've seen it in you."
This comes from Loki, the little Reistrid often quarrel when they get together, and they prefer to step on their brothers often, after all, they are the only ones who can bully little Reestrade, and they will be very happy to see their brothers deflated.
Soon Draco got a copy of the names of the lost herbs from Snape, and he actually went under the name that Lucius was going to give him to replace them, and when he asked for the names, Draco threw them on Harry's body.
Anyway, his words have already been spoken, and there must be someone to make this lie true, and he is the one who opened the mouth for Harry, so it stands to reason that Harry should be the one who turns this lie into truth.
Harry looked at the names of the herbs on it, "If I buy these herbs from the professor, I'm going to be completely bankrupt." ”
"Who told you you wanted these names?"
Draco spread out his hands and looked like he didn't care about himself, Harry looked at his lover helplessly, he didn't know that the reason why Draco became like this was because he was spoiled.
"Can this material be made into any potions?"
Draco leaned over and looked at the brown paper in Harry's hand, which, if he remembered correctly, was actually the ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion.
He pursed his lips and pointed to the several medicinal herbs on it and said what he thought, Harry frowned, Compound decoction? Don't...... Professor Moody made the polyjuice decoction in private, or rather he ......
"I'll show Dobby."
The Daily Prophet recently reported some more news about Barty? Crouch has not been seen since November, and many people say that he is terminally ill, so he asked his assistant to help with the triwizard match, but it turns out that he is not sick, but missing.
At the same time, Harry also knew one thing, that is, Crouch's son turned out to be a Death Eater, or a Death Eater trusted by Voldemort at the time.
He asked Draco to question Lucius, who was sure that little Crouch was a very loyal messenger, and that his worship of Voldemort had reached a state of obsession, somewhat morbid. And when he was arrested, his father also made a parent-child identification and dissolved the relationship with him, and many things that happened back then cannot be explained in one sentence or two.
It's still hard to get news about Moody from the Ministry of Magic, many of the people who know Moody have retired, and now the people in the Ministry of Magic are panicking, how dare anyone say more, Fudge is getting big because of the Triwizard Tournament, the disappearance of important members of the Ministry and the rumored resurrection of Voldemort, and the double attack of the wizarding world and the Muggle world also makes him not know how to deal with it. When Dumbledore told him that Voldemort might be resurrected, he loudly reprimanded Dumbledore and told him not to say those old foolish things, that man...... How could that person be alive!
Dumbledore didn't have any words about Fudge's indentability, this person was timid and afraid of things for a day or two, the comfortable and comfortable life completely knocked him down, Voldemort was tightly bound to him like a shackle, he had experienced the time of the Dark Lord, he was afraid of that powerful and terrifying man, so he didn't want to admit the fact that that man had returned.
Dumbledore knew that he couldn't count on Fudge, he had completely lost his mind.
Voldemort will be even more powerful when he is resurrected, and Dumbledore now has two cards in the Death Eaters, one is Severus? Snape, and the other Lucius? Malfoy, one of the two was trusted by the Dark Lord, a spy that Voldemort believed he had placed in the Order of the Phoenix, and the other was his right-hand man, who had helped him lead the Death Eaters.
Even if he will be more powerful and invincible after he returns, but sometimes his habits will not change, even if he is suspicious of these two people, he will still use them forever, and then they will be able to become a wonder army.
It's just that in the end, things are unpredictable, things have turned several times, and hope and darkness appear at the same time.
Dobby didn't find the herbs Harry was talking about, but he did find out that he saw Mad-Eyed Moody open the big box in his office, and he threw water and food into it, as if he was keeping something in captivity, and vaguely Dobby heard an expletive sound inside the box.
He told Harry what he suspected, Harry raised an eyebrow, he still threw water and food in captivity in the suitcase, obviously he didn't want this person to die, and Dobby only vaguely heard the swearing, which proved that there might be something strange under the box, probably using a space expansion charm to deepen the depth.
"What are you going to do, Harry?" Loki is even more suspicious of Moody now, even a shrewd fox would show his feet, wouldn't he?
"I'm going to meet Professor Dumbledore, how about you deliver a letter for me?"
"Yes, Mr. Potter, Dobby is here to help."
There were some things that Harry couldn't solve, so Dumbledore was the best option. Harry had received a reply from Dumbledore that night, a password, a password from his office.
Harry put down what he was holding and glanced at Ron over there, Ron had been monitoring him lately, making Harry feel that the person who controlled Ron should have gotten some news, and he was even more wary of him.
"Where are you going?"
Harry waved the letter in his hand when he heard Ron's question, "Professor Dumbledore told me to meet him. ”
"Professor Dumbledore? Why so late. ”
Harry smiled helplessly, "I don't understand the old man's mind. ”
He smiled and went inside Gryffindor's bedroom, and as he closed the bedroom door, he whispered to Dobby, who was following him, "Dobby, wait until you help me keep an eye on Ron, see where he goes, and see who." ”
"Yes, Mr. Potter."
Ron's sudden lock-up was abnormal, and this situation actually appeared after the end of the second event, but Ron's reaction was not as strong as it is now, when did he start to be anxious?
If Harry remembered correctly, he should have mentioned that he wanted to meet Dumbledore, and the letter from Dumbledore pushed everything to a climax, and Ron would have acted if he had been controlled and knew that he had gone to see Dumbledore.
Harry was glad he had called Dobby, which really helped a lot.
Dumbledore sat in his chair with his eyes closed and waited for Harry to arrive, he took off his hat and put it aside, he now had the Sorting Hat on his head, he was used to thinking with it at times.
Voldemort's affairs, and the things that Harry had to say to him, were gathered in the old man's mind, he hadn't been so tired for a long time, maybe many people didn't believe Professor Trilaura's prophecy, but he believed that prophecy has existed since Merlin's time, and it should be said that prophecy and magic appeared on this continent at the same time.
The last time the professor had predicted Harry's birth and Voldemort's death, this time......
"Professor."
Harry's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Dumbledore opened his eyes with a kind look, "Harry. ”
"I'm sorry for interrupting your thoughts, Professor."
Dumbledore stretched out his hand and invited Harry to sit across from him, they might have a lot to talk about today, Harry also wanted to talk about his physical abnormality, he thought Dumbledore might know something.
"Professor, I'm going to get straight to the point, first of all, about Professor Moody's ......"
Neville looked at Ron as he got out of bed and asked him suspiciously, "Ron, where are you going so late?" Curfew is coming soon. ”
Harry had been called away by Professor Dumbledore, and even if it was time to rest, he would have an excuse not to deduct points, but it was a little strange that Ron was dressed and leaving. Ron glanced at Neville faintly, smiled and scratched his head, and said, "I'm a little worried about Harry, I'll take a look." ”
Ron left, and Neville sighed, she didn't understand why Harry was so powerful.
Ron left the Gryffindor common room with a blank face, he climbed out of the tunnel, glanced left and right and saw that there was no one before quickly leaving the portrait of the fat lady, and Dobby poked his head out of the corner, thinking to himself that it was Harry? Is Mr. Potter right, Ron? Mr. Weasley was out of the house.
Ron's direction wasn't Dumbledore's office, but a place Dobby's was familiar with, Professor Moody's...... Office.
Dobby's eyes widened, he sneaked into the office, heard Ron tell Moody about Harry going to see Dumbledore, he stood incognito in the corner and watched Moody have a different expression than usual, he gritted his teeth and showed a worried expression.
Dobby tilted his head, he thought to himself, so Ron? Are Mr. Weasley and Moody's in the same group?
"So you think Moody's is secretly making polyjuice potions behind his back?"
Harry nodded with a serious expression, he looked skeptical, because Dobby had said one thing before, Moody would drink a sip of the curved bottle every hour, very regular, he had not suspected the Polyjuice Potion before, but when the name of Professor Snape's lost drug came out, he began to be suspicious.
After all, the kind of compound decoction is something that will make you look like another person within an hour, and if you want to maintain it, you must continue to drink the compound decoction.
"Harry, you have to know that we can't just check the professor's stuff, and we can't ...... if you don't have definitive evidence for what you're saying."
"I know, Professor."
Dumbledore wouldn't have done anything to Moody easily, he had brought that person back after all, and he had to show his trust in Moody unless Harry could come up with strong evidence.
However, it was okay to follow Harry's train of thought and be skeptical.
"What do you think Moody is hiding someone in the suitcase he brought?"
"There are many possibilities, two officials from the Ministry of Magic who disappeared, or...... Moody's teaches himself. ”
Harry put his hands together in front of his belly and smiled lightly, it was already obvious, wasn't it, they just lacked a decisive factor.
"Harry? Mr. Potter, Ron? Mr. Weasley has gone to see Mad-Eye Moody. ”
Dobby's message deepened Harry's smile, and Dumbledore's face was completely gloomy, it looked like that person had a problem eight times out of ten, and also used Harry's friends to spy on Harry, if it wasn't for Harry's ability to have some ability, and found out in time, who knows what the ending would be.
Harry glanced at Dumbledore, didn't he have no evidence, then he would give Dumbledore a proof.
"Dobby, can you steal Moody's bottle?" 166 Reading Network
