Chapter Eighty-Nine: True and False Moody
Harry failed to balance and fell to the ground along with Horton's body.
Daphany let go of Harry's hand long before she hit the ground, and landed smoothly on her feet.
A large crowd of people came up. There are members of the organizing committee, students, and members of the Ministry of Magic. Apparently, they suddenly disappeared from the labyrinth for nearly half an hour. This alarmed the Ministry of Magic, and Daphany saw Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, with an extremely ugly face.
"Daphine, are you alright?" Dumbledore appeared next to the two of them for the first time: "And Harry, you guys...... Houghton Warriors: This is ......"
"He's back!" Harry threw away the trophy and held his head in his hands, and Sistheni screamed, "He killed Horton!" He ......"
"Horton, what's wrong with Horton!" A tall woman squeezed in, it was Liv Volsta, the female instructor who had come to participate in the tournament this time. Seeing Horton lying motionless on the ground, she exclaimed in surprise and pounced. However, a little examination revealed that Horton was dead, and that he had died from the Avadaso Curse!
"What's going on!" Volsta raised his head again, his eyes already a little red: "What about Ralph?" Our headmaster! He should have rushed over, why didn't he come back with you. ”
"Lord Verharen has also been killed!" Daphany's voice trembled slightly, this was not pretending. Just almost confronted Voldemort, saying that he was not afraid at all is absolutely false!
"Who is it?" Volsta asked excitedly.
"He's back, Voldemort, he's back!" Harry screamed!
The surrounding people fell silent for a moment, except for Dumbledore, the faces of the others all became very ugly in an instant. Fudge even struggled to hold back his steps, until he was helped by an equally ugly-looking member of the Ministry of Magic.
Only Volsta looked unclear. She didn't realize who Voldemort was for a while, but looking at the expressions of the people around her, it was clear that the situation was very, very bad.
"Are you hurt? Harry! At this point, Moody squeezed into the crowd.
Harry was wounded, of course, and was bleeding with a deep cut in the arm. He also suffered several curses, and the doorkey landed twice and fell lightly.
"Albus, I'll take Potter for treatment, I think it's enough to have Miss Lestranzie explain it here!" Moody said to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded slightly. Daphany's eyes flickered slightly, because she knew that this Moody was fake.
Seeing Harry being dragged out by Moody, and then looking at the crowd staring at her, Daphany didn't know where to start for a moment. After thinking about it, he said, "Professor, this matter is a bit complicated, and it may not be clear to you by saying it." Let's find a meditation basin! "It means to extract the previous memory.
"Of course it's the best!" Albus nodded. He looked at Snape. The latter immediately took out a test tube.
Daphany tapped her wand on her forehead, then pulled out a silver thread and placed it in the tube.
"Dumbledore, let's find a place to take a look!" Fudge said with some anxiety.
"Yes, it should be!" Dumbledore nodded, then said to Snape, "Severus, you take Connery, and others who need to know, and you go to my office." Use the meditation basin to see what's going on. ”
"You're not going?" Fudge was a little surprised.
"Yes, I probably have something more important, Professor McGonagall. And, Arthur, how are you with me! Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall and Mr. Weasley.
"Of course!" Professor McGonagall and Mr. Weasley were a little confused, but nodded anyway.
"Professor, I'll be with you too!" Daphne chimed in as she put on the cloak Daphne had handed her, "It seems redundant for me to follow them. ”
Dumbledore gave Daphany a deep look, and those deep eyes seemed to see through something. After all, he nodded: "Well, Miss Lestranzie is also with her, and she may indeed need your help, and there are some things that you may need to know as well!" ”
So, the crowd split into three waves. A large wave followed Snape and Fudge to see Daphany's extracted memories, and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Mr. Weasley took Dafanie quickly in the other direction. More people, including most of the audience and students like Draco and Ron, stayed where they were, still in a daze, unaware of what was going on. Harry didn't use the amplification charm, just a roar that couldn't get far in the noisy field.
Dumbledore took the three of them straight to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office, then broke down the door, just in time to knock out Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr., who wanted to cast a spell on Harry.
At this moment, Dumbledore's face was no longer the usual smile that didn't care about anything, and was warm and even a little second. At this time, his face was full of cold anger.
This is the White Wizard! Daphne was secretly speechless. It wasn't the first time she'd seen a White Wizard in action. At the end of the third year, the White Wizard beat a Blood Clan Wizard who was not an opponent at all. But at that time, the White Wizard was breezy and calm, and although he showed great strength, it was far less than the pressure generated by the angry moment at this time. Even just behind him, without facing him directly, Daphne faintly felt a little difficult to breathe.
Even if it is placed in the Aegean, the white wizard will not be an unknown person! Daphany was secretly frightened.
Harry was also clearly frightened by the appearance of the White Wizard, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Qiyin
Professor McGonagall and Mr. Weasley were unaffected. Professor McGonagall stepped forward quickly, ignoring Moody lying on the ground and instead walked over to Harry's side.
"It's good that I didn't suffer worse black magic!" Professor McGonagall only glanced at it, then breathed a sigh of relief. But he still seemed excited: "Potter, you need to go to the hospital, come with me." ”
"Wait a minute, Minerva!" Dumbledore's tone was more firm than ever: "He needs to stay, there are things he needs to figure out!" The first step to acceptance is first and foremost understanding! Only after accepting it can you recover! Potter needs to know who caused him to suffer these ordeals today! And why is this happening! ”
"Professor Moody......" Dumbledore's expression softened compared to just now, and Harry also eased from his previous panic: "How could it be Professor Moody, he just said ......"
"That's not Moody, it's not Alasto!" Dumbledore calmly interrupted Harry, "You are not familiar with Alasto, if it were really him, it would be absolutely impossible to get you away from me tonight in that situation." So as soon as he took you, I knew there must be something wrong with him, so I immediately followed. ”
Dumbledore said as he bent down and removed the flask and a bunch of keys from the unconscious Moody.
Opening the flask and sniffing it, Dumbledore taught Daphany that "Severus isn't here, Miss Lestranzie should be the best potions here." I would like to hear from you......"
Daphany, of course, knew that the fake Moody's flask was filled with Polyjuice Potion. But I still pretended to smell it. Then he continued to pretend to say: "This taste, if there is no accident, it should be a compound decoction!" ”
"Same as my judgment!" The White Wizard nodded. Daphany rolled her eyes secretly, what a joke, when it comes to potions and alchemy, the White Wizard is second to none in all of Europe. Even Snape may not be able to compare, what is the strength here?
With a wave of Dumbledore's wand, the body of the fake Moody lying on the ground floated and landed on a chair to the side. Then the chair quietly deformed, transforming into a chair with a series of locks.
The White Wizard must have peeked at ordinary people's movies! Daphany roared. This chair is definitely a classic style for torture prisoners in various dark movies!
At the same time, Daphne was amazed by Dumbledore's transfiguration skills. As the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts in the early years, he did not use any spells or gestures, and his silent Transfiguration attainments were not even like Professor McGonagall, who was completely focused on this!
Locking up the fake Moody, Dumbledore's wand waved again: "Reveal quickly!" ”
Fake Moody's broken leg begins to regenerate, and his face begins to change. Soon it became a different picture.
"It's ......" Harry looked at the changed face, surprised. Apparently he had seen this face.
"Barty Crouch Jr.? Isn't he supposed to be dead? Mr. Weasley recognized him first, frowning.
"It seems that there is a big secret in there!" Dumbledore said solemnly, his eyes wandering around the room, and soon noticed a large box in the corner of the room.
"Minerva, please make a trip! Call Blake here! Dumbledore opened the chest with the key he had taken from the fake Moody, and found that there was still a layer of chest inside: "Miss Lestranzie, I wonder if you have a powerful truth spitting agent on you?" ”
Daphine raised an eyebrow: "Of course, Professor! ”
Although Daphne did not carry a potion with her during the maze challenge, she only brought a wand and another magic item. However, when he returned, he put on the robe given by Daphne, but there was a small space bag inside, which contained a lot of potions. This includes a powerful elixir.
"Great, then don't bother Severus!" Dumbledore nodded, "If I could, I'd like to see the elf you took in during your summer vacation, it's called ...... Twinkle, right? Can you get it over. ”
"It's here!" Daphany nodded, "It should be next to Lupin!" ”
"Oh, Minerva, then you can call one more Lupin!" Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall, who hadn't left the house yet.
"Okay!" Professor McGonagall turned and walked out the door.
Dumbledore had already opened the sixth layer of chests at this time, and inside the sixth layer turned out to be a large pit, like a basement. There was a man lying on the floor about three meters deep, scrawny, but alive!
"Are you alright, Alasto!" Albus asked aloud.
"Obviously not good, Albus!" The man at the bottom looked up, and it was Moody, of course, but several important parts were missing, such as prosthetic legs and magic eyes.
Dumbledore brought the real Moody up and checked it a little: "You've been using the Imperius Curse for a long time, and you haven't broken down, old man, you're still as strong as ever!" ”
"It's a pity it's not enough!" Moody shook his head, "I'm sorry for you, Albus!" ”
"Don't say that!" Out of nowhere, Dumbledore conjured up a robe and draped it over Moody: "You need a long vacation!" ”
"I think so!" Moody nodded.
