Chapter 268: Distant Relatives, Very Distant Relatives, Sons of My Mother's Second Uncle's Niece......

"By the way, Nix, what are you looking for us?"

"What about today's Daily Prophet?"

"I don't know where I threw it for a long time, I don't think there's any important news on it." Seamus replied.

"What do you want the Daily Prophet to do?" A voice next to him chimed in.

The Knicks looked back and saw that it was Cedric, who happened to have a roll of newspaper in his hand.

"Daily Prophet?"

"Yes."

"Let me see, I'll pay you back right away." The Knicks grabbed it unceremoniously.

Unfolding the newspaper, in a not very conspicuous, but not the worst place above, found Rita Skeeter's article.

The article mocks Mr. Weasley to the fullest, and the names are all wrong. The back of the newspaper has a photo of the Weasley family.

Instead of Rita Skeeter writing articles mocking the Ministry of Magic and mocking Weasley, the Knicks wanted to see the above mention of Moody's attack.

After reading it once, the Knicks felt that Moody had resisted, but was quickly suppressed, captured alive, and under the Imperius Curse.

He was sure that all traces of the fight in Moody's room had been erased, otherwise there was no explanation why neither the police nor Arthur Weasley had noticed the problem.

Peter Pettigrew should not be able to defeat a vigilant Auror, so Barty Crouch Jr.'s strength can be imagined. It is estimated that there are not many who have beaten him at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore needless to say, Professor Flitwick, who is the duel champion, should be fine. There's a good chance that Professor McGonagall and Snape will be fine, but the others don't know.

The Knicks were glad that he didn't expose him before, otherwise he would have been worried about his life.

After reading it, he returned the newspaper to Cedric and said, "Thank you, senior. I have something to do, so I'll go first."

Cedric quickly left with a confused expression.

Seamus followed him back to the auditorium, and after sitting down, he said with some envy: "Ron's family is really lucky, they drove a flying car in the second grade and went to the newspaper in the second grade, and they won the jackpot in the third grade and went to the newspaper again, and they are still in the newspaper this year, and I want to be in the newspaper too."

"I don't want to, at least not in this way." Dean on the side.

Nix didn't care about the conversation between the two, he had an idea when he listened to the radio, he couldn't directly reveal Moody's identity, so indirectly, Barty Crouch Jr.'s attack on Moody must have started, and there must be traces of battle in the house.

Reminding Dumbledore to take a look would have served the purpose of exposing Barty Crouch Jr. for pretending to be Moody. But now, it seems, that won't work, and Barty Crouch Jr. put the Moody's house in order. He had to find another way to tell Dumbledore.

After dinner, he left the auditorium and saw Harry and his party queuing.

This year, there are more little wizards, and you need to queue up for dinner in the auditorium.

Malfoy in the team taunts Ron with the Daily Prophet in his hand. I think Mrs. Weasley in the photo is fat.

Harry sneered back, asking Malfoy's mother.

Malfoy felt that this was an insult to his mother, and drew his wand and cast a spell at Harry, who was facing away from him.

The spell grazed Harry's ears and flew out.

The Knicks then see Moody shoot a spell from the stairs and hit Malfoy on him, turning him into a stoat.

As Moody descended the stairs, Malfoy, who had turned into a ferret, was scared to run, but was controlled by Moody with his wand, and kept rising and falling.

At the same time, he warned, "Don't attack people from behind."

Professor McGonagall's voice of surprise came from the stairs. "Professor Moody."

"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Moody responded, not forgetting to teach Malfoy a lesson.

"What are you doing?" Professor McGonagall was curious and couldn't remember whose pet was a stoat.

"Teach him a lesson."

"Lessons? Is that a student?" Professor McGonagall was surprised and dropped the book on the floor.

"That's right." Moody's admitted.

"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall ignored her books and quickly walked down the stairs, drew her wand, and took Malfoy

Change back.

Malfoy's appearance was very miserable.

"Moody, we never use Transfiguration as punishment." Professor McGonagall said, "Dumbledore must have said that."

"He probably did." Moody's answer was nonchalant.

Knowing that there was nothing to watch, the Knicks chose to leave.

It didn't take long for the news to spread about the common room, which became even more lively after Harry and Ron returned.

Ron exaggerated how he wittily provoked Malfoy and asked Professor Moody to punish Malfoy and turn him into a stoat.

Tifa listened to Ron's story, couldn't find a place to refute it, and sat down next to the Knicks in a huff.

"Brother, you were there at the time, why didn't you teach Malfoy a lesson?"

"Tifa, I shouldn't teach Malfoy a lesson, but Harry." Nix replied.

"Why?"

Harry wasn't with Ron, and he was a little puzzled when he heard Nix's words, and sat down to wonder why, when Malfoy had told Ron's mother first.

Nicks explained, "Malfoy's mother was named Narcissa Malfoy, and her last name was Black before she married Malfoy."

"Which Blake?" Harry interrupted the Knicks in surprise.

"That's what you think." Nix explained, "She's Sirius Black's cousin. She also has a sister named Bellatrix Lestrange."

Neville's body trembled.

Tifa stopped talking, and if it was true, Malfoy was really wrong. Harry was humiliating his elders. Of course, what Harry said was not very serious, just a rhetorical question.

Because of the different cultural traditions, plus the age problem, Harry didn't care.

But Tifa, who has been nurtured by the Knicks since childhood, thinks that it is not wrong to talk about elders, but Harry obviously did not know before and can be forgiven.

Knicks continued, "The Black family are extreme purebloods. It's the same as our family, but there will always be a few misfits in the family, like our father, and." He paused, "Mother Nimphadora."

"Who's that?" Harry wondered.

"Sirius's sister." Nix replied.

"For us, distant relatives." Tifa also replied.

At this point, Ron finished bragging and sat down, saying, "I'm looking forward to Professor Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, George and Fred say he's very good."

Harry said, "I think he's very good, especially when he's teaching Malfoy a lesson."

The Knicks were stunned for a moment, and then understood why Moody was wrong with Barty Crouch Jr., and why he violated the law to punish Malfoy.

He was winning Harry's favor and trusting Harry.

Thinking of his abnormal attitude towards Filch, is it because he wants to win his trust and let himself take the initiative to give him the potion formula?

However, Barty Crouch Jr. is a dangerous guy and needs to warn his sister not to be tricked into Voldemort's lair.

"Tifa, you need to stay away from Moody."

"Why?" Tifa wondered.

"He's a moody madman who treats everyone like a lackey of a mystery man. If you don't want to suffer, stay away from him." Nick Dow.

The people around looked at Nix in shock, and their expressions were like saying: You are a typical madman, and you still have the face to say that others are crazy!
