==================================

Wand 9 (upright): Hidden enemies.

、

Hogwarts Public Corridor, England

、

Although many of Gryffindor classes are placed together with Slytherin in the Hogwarts schedule, due to the impact of the problem, on the first day of school, they all have their own arrangements, and there are no classes scheduled together until dinner.

This was somewhat of a relief to Harry, but it didn't last long, and as he went to the dining room with Hermione and Ron, he heard a group of Slytherin students walking by who seemed to be discussing Ron's father.

Actually, these Slytherins weren't specifically targeting Ron, as they were discussing a news item in the Daily Prophet by Rita Skeeter that "There's a New Mess in the Ministry of Magic", which seemed to be because the mess at the previous Quidditch World Cup hadn't been resolved, and a subsequent report of a missing wizard official still hadn't been reported. Ron's father is mentioned at the end of the article, and the related thing is the oolong incident yesterday morning about the attack on Moody's house.

But...... Is it really an oolong incident?

Opal was noncommittal about this, and just listened to it, but this did not prevent some people from thinking about it - especially Ron, who had always been prejudiced against Slytherin, and directly blew up at the group of Slytherin students.

And Draco, who was just passing by and laughing for some reason while listening to his classmates' discussions, was very innocently lying down.

In the dispute between Draco and Ron, Harry, who was fighting on the side, was very unfortunate to be affected by the pond fish, and Draco, who was attacked by Ron with a magic wand, jumped a step, but in order to avoid the classmates on the side, he turned to the side and took a step, just in time to bump into Harry, who was about to come over to stop Ron's back to him, causing him to shake his body and almost hit the decoration on the edge of the wall of the foyer.

Bang!

Just when the entire hallway was in chaos due to Ron's impulse, Opal suddenly frowned, and directly dodged in front of Draco, and then threw out a small trinket.

Harry, who was trying to stop Ron, heard several people screaming and felt something hot rubbing his cheek - he quickly reached into his robe and pulled out his wand, but before he could touch it, he heard another loud noise.

"Bang!"

Then a roar echoed through the foyer, "Don't let this ...... Damn it! ”

Harry jerked around to see Professor Moody limping down the marble staircase. With his wand in his hand, he pointed at Opal who was standing on the side of the foyer with a cold face, and Draco, who was blocked by Opal.

Not far from Opal's feet, a defensive ornament deformed by the spell attack lay alone on the ground, billowing green smoke, and it was obvious that it was dead.

There was a terrible silence in the foyer.

Except for Moody's and Opal, who was confronting him, no one dared to move. Moody turned his face to look at Harry - at least, his normal eye was looking at Harry, and the other was digging into his head.

"Did he hurt you?"

Moody asked angrily, his voice low and hoarse.

"Nope."

After hesitating for a moment, Harry shook his head as he pulled Ron, who was obviously a lot more honest because he sensed that he was in trouble, "It wasn't ...... just now"

"Don't go!"

Moody, on the other hand, suddenly shouted.

"Don't go...... What the? ”

Harry was a little puzzled by Moody's voice.

"It's not you, it's them!"

Moody yelled again, giving a thumbs up, and pointing over his shoulder to Draco's side—Moody's scurrying eyes seemed to have the power to see what was behind his head. After turning his head, Harry realized that Opal seemed to be about to pull Draco away with a calm attitude.

[So, what do you do, Professor Moody?] ]

Raising his chin slightly, Opal looked at Moody without humility or arrogance, [It's not early, we should all go to dinner.] ]

"Are you planning to cover up?"

Moody began to limp towards Opal, while the wand in his hand was pointed at Opal all the time, "Shielding this person who is attacking others behind his back?!" ”

[Attacking someone behind your back, Professor Moody, who do you mean?] ]

Opal scoffed at Moody's remark, and pointed his wand at the stoat, which suddenly rose ten feet into the air, slammed to the ground, and then abruptly rose again.

"To whom?"

Moody's voice suddenly raised, "Of course, the person hiding behind you, this is the dirtiest, meanest, and completely cowardly behavior......"

Eventually, a flash of white light erupted from his wand, striking Opal and Draco again.

[Protego (armor amulet)!] ]

At the same time as the spell from Moody's side, Opal reacted accordingly, a glowing magic shield appeared in front of her and Draco, bouncing off the spell from Moody and hitting the furnishings on the wall of the foyer.

So what was originally a good decorative vase turned into a teapot in an instant.

[Professor Moody's, in the condition of this vase......]

Opal narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Moody, whose chest was constantly rising and falling, obviously suppressing his anger, his eyes slightly glanced at the marble staircase not far away, and directly sank his tone, [I can understand that you are using a Transfiguration Charm...... Attacking students?! ]

"Professor Moody! Opal?! ”

Professor McGonagall was coming down the marble staircase, clutching a stack of books in her arms, apparently surprised by the situation in the foyer, "What are you doing?" Why are they all crammed here? ”

[Hello, Professor McGonagall.] ]

Nodding slightly, Opal took the lead in removing the armor in front of him as a polite gesture, [You came just in time. Professor Moody had just used the Transfiguration Charm to attack the students...... For what he calls 'justice'. ]

"Y-what are you doing?"

Professor McGonagall looked in the direction of Opal's finger and landed on the teapot that was clearly misplaced.

"Just a lesson."

Sticking to his neck, Moody didn't seem to think he was at fault at all, "Just teach some cowardly guys not to sneak up on them from behind." But you also see it...... Wave your wand at the professor".

"So according to Professor Moody, Opar and I should be hit by your Transfiguration Charm?"

Draco, who was standing behind Opal and finally reacted from the fact that "there was a professor attacking students in the school", directly sank his face, "How did I not know that Hogwarts staff rules allow such a situation?" ”

"Lessons...... Transformation Spell?! Oh, my God! ”

Professor McGonagall, who had recovered from the conversation, exclaimed, the books in her arms scattered to the floor, "Moody, we never use shapeshifting as punishment!" Professor Dumbledore must have told you, right? ”

"He probably mentioned it."

Moody scratched his chin nonchalantly at McGonagall's words and said, "But I think we need to scare ...... hard."

"We can be confined, Moody! or report to the dean of the college where the person belongs. ”

"I'll do that."

Seemingly unwilling to like McGonagall's tone, Moody glared at Opal and Draco in disgust, "Okay, the head of your house is Snape, isn't he?" ”

[Yes.] ]

Opal bowed slightly.

"That's an old friend."

Moody growled, "I've been looking forward to a good chat with old fellow Snape...... Let's go, two little imps......"

[Not required.] ]

However, to the surprise of all those present, Opal spoke with a calm expression and an unusually mocking emphasis, [I was approached by the Dean for inexplicable accusations, Professor Moody, I don't have the kind of idle kung fu to play with you this kind of trick that has long been played rotten.] ]

"What did you say!"

Moody's face instantly turned red, and the magic eye on his face was turning wildly, "Are you ...... That's how you talk to the professors of the college! ”

[I respect the professor, but that doesn't mean I will accept unreasonable accusations.] ]

Opal took two steps forward, staring at Moody without giving an inch, seemingly completely unaffected by his MONOCULUS, [You said Draco sneaked up on Harry from behind?] What about the evidence? ]

"I saw it with my own eyes! Isn't that proof? ”

[See it with your own eyes?] Ha. ]

Opal directly removed the crystal ornament pinned to his chest and crushed it directly, [Then let's see the real reason for your so-called 'sneak attack'.] ]

This jewelry with special functions was specially reminded by Pan Qian to bring it, originally just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really useful. This made Opal happy, and he also made up his mind to find a time to interrogate Pansie's guy who didn't spit out until he pushed it to the extreme. (Pansie: Ahhhh ）

As the crystal decoration shattered, a video appeared in front of everyone, a reenactment of the chaotic scene between Ron, Draco, and Harry.

There was silence, and Moody's face turned even redder, then turned cyan.

[It turns out that the professor can impose his own subjective consciousness on others without distinguishing between right and wrong?] It's really a big sight for me. ]

When the effects were over, Opal sneered and took two steps forward to meet Moody's unyielding eyes, [now the truth is revealed...... Professor Moody's, should you apologize for wrongly attacking an otherwise innocent student? ]

"Ridiculous!"

However, apparently Moody had no such intentions, and turned his head and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Who the hell is ridiculous?"

Although he knew that criticizing the professor was wrong, Moody's attitude towards Slytherin at the moment could be described as "hostile", which was obvious to all, so the Slytherin students couldn't be blamed for muttering behind their backs.

[Alright, let's go eat.] ]

However, the person who stopped them was also Opal, as the head of the house who perfectly suppressed all the Slytherin students in the challenge tournament and successfully took advantage of the power of the Cappadocian family to rise to power, her prestige was also acceptable.

At least when she spoke, the Slytherin students kept their mouths shut up and headed down the hall - as for the eye knives thrown at Harry and Ron, it was understandable.

Professor McGonagall looked at their backs with some unease before she pointed her wand at the books that had fallen to the ground, causing them to rise into the air and return to her arms, then disperse the students gathered around her and turn away.

She felt ...... It is necessary to ask Headmaster Dumbledore to report the relevant situation.

After all, Moody's current state is too dangerous.

"Harry, what are you thinking?"

A few minutes later, at Gryffindor's table, everyone around was excitedly talking about what had just happened. Rather than Ron, who was excited to have a professor who was also hostile to Slytherin, Hermione was the first to notice Harry's thoughtfulness, and asked as she began to divide the beef smorgasbord on everyone's plate.

"I'm thinking about Professor Moody's attitude."

Although Moody must have been mistaken for the help of an attack - but the matter was somewhat understandable after the meeting on the train, Harry still felt that something was wrong.

Perhaps it was intuition, and he always felt that Moody's kindness to him made him feel a chill behind him.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a professor to help?"

After saying this, Hermione stuck out her tongue, "But even Slytherin, using the Transfiguration Charm is a bit excessive, but fortunately Professor McGonagall stopped it in time......"

"Didn't you miss it?"

Ron said with some dissatisfaction, "It's that Opal who actually asked the professor to apologize in public, which is too arrogant." ”

“……”

Harry chose to remain silent - could he say that he also thought Moody's approach was a bit excessive?

Hermione muttered impatiently and began to eat, again at that gobbling pace.

"You're not going to the library again tonight, are you?"

Harry looked at her and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course."

Hermione stuffed something into her mouth and mumbled, "There's a lot of work to do." ”

"But you told us, Professor Victor......"

"It's not schoolwork."

Almost five minutes after saying this, Hermione finished her plate and hurried away. No sooner had she left than Fred Weasley took her seat.

"That Moody's ......"

As if he was wandering around with some thoughts, Fred had a wicked smile on his face, "He looks pretty good......

"It's more than that!"

George said, sitting down across from Fred.

"It's cool!"

Lee Jordan, a friend of the twins and captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, sat next to George, "You'll know from his class, unlike your teachers in the first and second grades, he's pretty good." ”

So...... It's just that he's nervous, right?

Looking at Ron, who had already begun to eagerly ask for relevant information, Harry thought as he glanced at the empty teacher's seat, and then at Opal's group on the other side, who were already seated in the restaurant.

On the other side, Opal, who was sitting in the head of the house, seemed to sense Harry's gaze, turned around and smiled at him, as if to signal that he didn't have to worry.

Forget it, when you go to the Room of Requirement in the evening, ask about it.

Harry thought.
