350. Camouflage and anti-camouflage
"You didn't," Harry said hoarsely, "it was Cedric who reminded me—"
"Who told Cedric to turn it on underwater? It's me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 🔥 I'm sure he'll tell you. Decent people are easily manipulated, Potter. I know Cedric wanted to repay you for telling him last time that his first project was a dragon, and he did. But even then, it seems like you have the potential to fail. I've been staring at you...... You've been in the library for so long. Didn't you find that the book you needed was in your dorm? I laid it out, and I gave it to the boy named Longbottom, do you remember? The Miraculous Aquatic Plants of the Mediterranean and Their Properties. It will tell you everything you need to know about the branchial sac grass. I thought you would turn to everyone around you. Longbottom will tell you right away. But you didn't—you didn't—your pride and sense of independence almost ruined everything.
"What can I do? Find another naïve person to remind you. You told me at the Christmas Ball that a house-elf named Dobby gave you a Christmas present. I called the elf to the teacher's lounge to collect the clothes to be washed. I spoke loudly to Professor McGonagall about the hostage-taking, and wondered if Potter would have thought of using gill sacs. Your elf friend immediately ran to Snape's office and hurried to find you......"
Moody's wand was still pointed at Harry's heart, and behind him, a vague shadow flickered in the demon mirror on the wall.
"You've been in the lake for too long, Potter. I thought you were drowning. Fortunately, Dumbledore took your stupidity for nobility and gave you a high score, and I was relieved.
"Of course, you've been taken care of in the maze tonight." "I patrol around the labyrinth, can see through the hedges outside, and use spells to drive many obstacles out of your path. I knocked Fleur Delacour unconscious, and cast a Imperius curse on Krum to kill Diggory and clear the way for you to win the cup. ”
Harry glared at Moody, wondering how this could be...... Dumbledore's friend, the famous Auror...... Captured so many Death Eaters...... It doesn't make sense...... It's so unconscionable......
The shadow in the demon mirror is becoming clearer. Harry could see the silhouette of the three men, and they drew closer and closer. But Moody didn't see it, his magical eyes were staring at Harry.
"The Dark Lord failed to kill you, Potter. He wanted to kill you so much," Moody whispered, "and think about how he would reward me if I did it for him." I gave you to him - you were the thing he needed most for his resurrection, and then I killed you for him. I'll get more honor than any other Death Eater, and I'll be his favorite cronie...... Even closer than a son......"
Moody's normal eyes bulged out, and his magical eyes stared at Harry. The door was slammed, and Harry knew he didn't have time to pull out his wand......
"The Dark Lord and I have a lot in common," Moody said as he looked completely distracted, smirking condescendingly at Harry, "for example, we both have very disappointed fathers...... Extremely disappointing. Harry, we all inherited our father's name in disgrace, and we all happily ...... Very slowly...... Kill your own father to make sure the Dark Devil is in charge! ”
"You're crazy," said Harry, couldn't help but say—"you're crazy! ”
"Am I crazy?" Moody's raised his voice uncontrollably, "We'll see!" Look who's crazy. The Dark Lord has returned, and I am with his support. Harry Potter, you didn't conquer him - now - I'm going to conquer you! (To be continued.) )
