Chapter 201: Successful Arrest
As soon as Zhang Xu, who was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep, walked into the foyer of the castle, he saw Lai Fu flying in from outside the castle gate, and then flew down the stairs in the direction of the common room of the Lion House.
This is the case at Hogwarts now, and since Neville mastered the Flying Charm, students have been able to see Riffford fly through the corridors six days a week.
At first, the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students thought that Rifou's flying toad was some kind of magical animal.
Zhang Xu couldn't help but think that he might be able to make a game called "Traveling Toad" based on Lai Fu in the future.
After a night of nothing, a new day has arrived.
While breakfast was in the cafeteria, it was business as usual in the cafeteria, with students discussing the upcoming Quidditch match between the three schools.
Dumbledore hadn't been in the dining hall this morning, but everyone was used to it.
It's just that Zhang Xu felt that little Barty seemed to look at him a few more times.
As the saying goes, laughter is the best weapon, and the same is true for wizards.
Laughter can interfere with the pronunciation of spells when the wizards are chanting, high sympathetic excitement can also interfere with the attention of the wizard when casting spells, and wizards, like ordinary people, can be stunned or sucked by laughter if they laugh and laugh for too long.
So when Professor Moody took out a flask and poured it before class, and then burst out laughing during the roll call, Zhang Xu rang off the Hogwarts emergency evacuation alarm.
In the loudspeakers of Hogwarts Castle, the sound of "Happy Moment" and "Song of the Day" hosted by the Weasley twins in the past was no longer heard, but a short and piercing alarm bell.
"All students immediately all return to the common room, this is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill!"
Accompanied by the alarm bells, Dumbledore's solemn recordings were made.
At the same time, the walkway lit up with arrows of different colors, marking the paths to the common rooms of the four colleges.
In less than two minutes, all the students in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom withdrew from the classroom, leaving Zhang Xu alone still sitting in his seat.
I have to say that Moody's face in the wild laughter is more distorted and terrifying than usual, and it is no problem to scare crying children.
Barty Jr. had already sensed something was wrong with him when he started laughing, ignoring the students pouring out of the classroom, laughing maniacally as he pulled a bottle of potion out of his body and poured it into his mouth.
Many children are often taught by their parents not to talk or laugh loudly while eating and drinking, otherwise they will choke.
So little Barty choked on the potion.
After half a bottle of potion fell into his stomach, the symptoms of "smiling and scattering" disappeared, and little Barty held on to the podium and gasped, his stomach cramped a little.
That's when all the students left the classroom.
Little Barty almost solved the problem of poisoning in a short period of time, which made Zhang Xu a little surprised.
It's not that Zhang Xu didn't think about using stronger drugs, but those drugs were fine in food, but they were easily exposed in potions.
In order to avoid the magic spell flying around and hurting his classmates, Zhang Xu's original plan was to wait for little Barty to laugh until the students left before he made a move, but the reality was a little skinny.
Facing little Barty, who kept panting, Zhang Xu didn't say much, and directly raised his wand and shot a spell.
(ยท๏ผฟยท) oโโ โฆโฆ You're paralyzed
Little Barty, who had already sensed that the situation was wrong, found that he had been exposed, and he had been paying attention to Zhang Xu's every move with his magic eye just now.
Little Barty jumped to the side to avoid Zhang Xu's paralyzing spell, and the podium hit by the spell exploded instantly.
As soon as little Barty hit the ground, he felt his feet slip and fall to the ground.
It was just now that Zhang Xu used Transfiguration to conjure up a banana peel at his foothold.
In line with the principle of beating the water dog, Zhang Xu raised his cane and fell, and Moody's prosthetic leg suddenly fell apart.
Zhang Xu, who took the lead for a while, kept beckoning to Little Barty with a spell, wanting to get rid of him in one go.
But little Barty is worthy of being a battle-hardened Death Eater, and even though he is missing a leg, he can still dodge Zhang Xu's curse with a rolling belt.
Just as Zhang Xu cast two spells, little Barty cast a spell on himself, and then his body began to deform rapidly, Moody's prosthetic eye fell out, and new legs grew from the original broken leg.
Seeing little Barty who had recovered his prototype, Zhang Xu accelerated the speed of his attack.
Zhang Xu cast three divine blades on Little Barty in a very short period of time.
Now Zhang Xu doesn't want to stay alive like just now, just now he took advantage of Little Barty's failure to recover, so he can have a slight upper hand.
Now that little Barty is relieved, Zhang Xu is in trouble.
Although Zhang Xu was able to fight hand-to-hand with werewolves and even Peruvian fanged dragons, and he could also use his big moves to destroy the eight-eyed spider and the yin corpse, but at that time he played the role of a berserk or a turret, and there was no magic that could hurt him at that time.
In wizard duels, his experience and skills are not high, and he is usually good at dealing with other students, but in front of Professor Flitwick, he can only hold on for a few minutes before waving the white flag.
For a while, the situation was reversed, Barty Jr. began to gain the upper hand, and Zhang Xu began to be suppressed.
As the saying goes, to defeat an enemy who is stronger than yourself, you need to pull the opponent into the territory you are familiar with, and then use your rich experience to defeat the opponent.
After Zhang Xu jumped behind the desk to dodge a heart-piercing spell shot by Barty, a flock of colorful paper cranes flew out from behind the desk and pounced towards Barty like a swarm of hornets.
In the face of the paper cranes swarming from all directions, little Barty did not dare to take it lightly, temporarily gave up the attack on Zhang Xu, and concentrated on dealing with these thousand paper cranes that would blow up the spell.
Zhang Xu, who was relieved, immediately used the transformation technique to turn the table and chairs in front of him into several gray wolves, controlling them to pounce on Little Barty.
Barty Jr. was caught off guard and fell into disadvantage again.
Just when little Barty had just dealt with the two gray wolves, he only heard a "boom", and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground.
This was followed by two more "booms", and Barty Jr. was shot in both legs, and then he was pounced on by a gray wolf.
Zhang Xu controlled another gray wolf to take the wand that little Barty had dropped, and at the same time threw two golden ropes to tie up little Barty lying on the ground.
Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he was able to tie Lockhart, who was possessed by Riddle, to a strong gold rope and tie little Barty into a zongzi.
After putting away the pistol, picking up the bullet casings on the ground, and using the flying spell to recover the bullets in Little Barty's hands and feet, Zhang Xu finished it on a table, took out a can of Jianlibao and drank it after cooling it down with a magic wand.
At this time, Barty Crouch was lying on the ground, struggling and chanting words in his mouth.
"The spell you chanted is useless, you can't untie the rope." Zhang Xu said to Barty Jr.
Facing Little Barty's hateful gaze, Zhang Xu took a sip of Jianlibao and continued: "If you want to untie the rope, you must first recite the untie mantra, the untie spell is in Chinese, will you?" In addition to this, the key should be recited after the release mantra. The keys of these two ropes are different, one is in Sichuan dialect and the other is in Wenzhou dialect. โ
Then Zhang Xu took out a few gold ropes and put them on the table beside him, and said to Little Barty: "I still have ropes in Zhuanghua, Yaohua, Guiliu, Hakka, Hokkien and Mongolian, do you want to challenge it?" โ
Little Barty, who looked confused, had never heard of any of these languages, and finally gave up struggling.
"How did you find out?" Barty Jr. asked.
"I found out at the beginning." Zhang Xu replied, "You're too stupid, why would you go and steal Professor Snape's African tree snake skin, and so much at once." Just look up how it is used to deduce that someone needs to refine a large amount of compound decoction. Before the start of school, Hogwarts gave you a lot of salary advances, so if you have the money, you can go to Diagon Alley and order it, and buy it with other potions materials, who knows what you're going to do. Hogwarts professors who do not often purchase a variety of materials. โ
Barty Jr. said, "My money goes to the Dark Lord!" โ
"It's not easy for your master to ask for money, just ask Lucius Malfoy if you want it." Zhang Xu said, "Does he dare not give it?" โ
Just then, the door to the classroom opened, and Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick came over.
"You're coming a little later than expected, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick." Zhang Xu said to the two of them.
"It's really good you're okay, Zhang." Professor Flitwick shouted happily, "You've got him!" โ
"It's just a fluke." Zhang Xu said with a smile, "If I hadn't used some other methods, I would have had to run away." โ
"Did Professor Moody get out?" Zhang Xu then asked.
"Rescued, but his condition is not good, he is too weak." Professor McGonagall replied, "He's now in the infirmary." โ
"That's good." Zhang Xu said.
"And what are we going to do with him?" Zhang Xu pointed to the little Barty on the ground and asked.
"We need to find a place where it's absolutely safe to lock him up, and then we'll wait for Professor Dumbledore to come back and dispose of him." Professor McGonagall said.
"Is it an absolutely safe place, I know such a place." Zhang Xu said.
Half an hour later, in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets under Hogwarts, Zhang Xu touched the corona baby Barty to the ground.
"Alright, let's lock him up here for now, and we'll wait until Professor Dumbledore returns." Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Harry Potter who had come to open the door.
Professor McGonagall looked at Barty Jr., who had been tied into a ball with eight ropes, and nodded.
After leaving the secret room, Zhang Xu suddenly remembered something and said to Harry: "Harry, you immediately ask Dobby to take Sparkle to Blake's house, and let Sparkle study with Blake's Kreacher." โ
Looking at Harry's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xu explained: "Twinkle used to be the house-elf of the Crouch family, and I was afraid that she would let Barty Crouch Jr. go, so I had to let Twinkle leave Hogwarts first. You go and Dobby will know that you can't let Twilight return to Hogwarts without Professor Dumbledore's orders. โ
Harry realizes the seriousness of the situation and immediately turns to the kitchen to find Dobby and Twinkle.
Zhang Xu walked to the school infirmary, where he was going to visit the hapless Professor Zhen Moody.
