Chapter 921: 907： Dumbledore visits

Just after Christmas, he opened a bunch of Christmas gifts and attended a Christmas ball, but Dumbledore was not in a good mood.

Because Barty Crouch was ill the other day and didn't come to the Christmas ball.

To be honest, it’s not a big deal. It’s normal to get sick, not to mention the old Batty, who has been tired for the World Cup for a whole year. It is understandable that he wants to have a quiet Christmas, but...

If you associate this incident with Albert's prediction, this is undoubtedly a bad omen.

A few months ago, Sirius had approached Dumbledore and mentioned that Peter was still alive. Through his memory, he saw that the man who appeared in the prophecy sphere was Barty Crouch Jr., Dumbledore first. When I saw him, I recognized him.

Is Barty Crouch Jr. still alive?

But why are you still alive?

From then on, Dumbledore had been investigating this matter quietly. Barty Crouch the old was the breakthrough point in the whole thing, but Dumbledore could not do anything to a senior official of the Ministry of Magic.

Although Dumbledore is not in politics, it does not mean that he is ignorant of this aspect. He knows better than anyone, there are things he can't do too much.

For example, forcing the old Barty Crouch to tell the secret, otherwise even if the answer is obtained, even if the whole thing is related to the old Barty Crouch, it will still be a big trouble.

However, fortunately, some time ago, the old Batty expelled his loyal house elf for some reason, and the house elf named Shining is now working at Hogwarts, despite his treatment. Using large doses of powerful Veritaserum, it is possible to ask some secrets, but Dumbledore did not do that, because it was too cruel to do so, and may cause the house elves to die or suffer permanent damage.

The loyalty of house elves allows them to keep secrets for their masters. Even the house elves who have been driven out of the house by their masters still have no doubts about their loyalty.

But Dumbledore didn't need to be so troublesome to get some news, and he didn't even need to get an accurate answer.

He took Shining to the principal’s office, told the house elves that Old Barty Crouch was ill, and said some of his own guesses, expressing his suspicion that Old Barty was under the control of the Imperius Curse, and asked some questions. News about Barty Jr.

Although Dumbledore’s remarks did not make the house elf named Shining confess the truth to him, Dumbledore did not need to really get the answer from the house elf. He only needed to get the answer from the other party’s reaction. The truth of the whole thing can be deduced.

There is no doubt that Albert's prediction is correct. Little Batty is still alive, and the whole thing has something to do with Old Batty. Perhaps it was Batty who used some secret methods to keep Batty alive. As for the person who died in Azkaban prison, it is self-evident.

Because not long ago, after Dumbledore learned from Sirius that Peter Pettigrew was still alive, he guessed the specific reason.

It is a pity that the two great mothers saved their son's life with their own lives, but in the end they failed to save their son's conscience and lead them to the right path.

After clarifying the truth, Dumbledore wanted to find Albert the first time, and he needed some verification from the other party.

Albert seems to know something.

In other words, the other party may know more than himself.

Dumbledore could realize that the whole thing was not right, but it was the news that he learned from the conversation between Albert and Percy at the prom.

The other party seemed to be intentionally suggesting that Crouch was going to die.

Yes, he meant that Crouch was going to die, and Percy became the assistant of the Minister of Magic.

Albert is a genius who is good at prophecy. Even if he doesn't know, Dumbledore believes that after a brief exchange between the two sides, he can get a lot of useful information.

What's more, Dumbledore was sure that Albert knew that he was too smart.

However, Dumbledore found that their warrior was missing, and even if he used tracking magic, he could not track Albert's location.

As if disappeared out of thin air.

Where did Albert go?

Dumbledore didn't know, but someone knew it, so... he asked Albert's roommate and friend.

Well, even his roommate doesn't know.

"Probably home."

"Perhaps, I ran to spend the Christmas holiday with my girlfriend."

These are two speculations of Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

However, the Andersons were not in their original home. At least, Dumbledore ran there in person. The home was not occupied at all, at least for several months.

Their family moved?

It doesn't seem strange to think about it.

After all, someone who can predict the future, especially the kind of powerful prophecy master, if he really doesn't want you to find it, it's really hard to find.

Nicole LeMay is a ready-made example. When Voldemort peeped into the Philosopher's Stone a few years ago, he immediately noticed something was wrong, and contacted himself in advance, asking him to use the Red Loyalty Charm to protect the residence.

Dumbledore, who could not find Albert, found that he seemed to be in a fleeting disadvantage.

According to the original plan, he planned to find Ludo Bagman to visit the old Batty and talk about the safety measures of the second project by the way, but Ludo Bagman seemed to be in trouble.

When Dumbledore came to visit at the agreed time, Ludo Bagman had already been sent to the St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. The specific reason was that he had eaten horseshoe chocolate mixed with ecstasy.

The most embarrassing thing is that after Bagman fell into the ecstasy, the person who was thinking about it was a girl named Hogwarts. The woman who wrote to him was obviously a fake, or the letter was from beginning to end. It is also false. What is going on in this matter?

Dumbledore quickly guessed the answer, because the next day Hogwarts showed a large area of ​​ecstasy students, which caused a lot of commotion.

It is said that Fred, George and Lee Jordan brought out a bunch of snacks and desserts to share with everyone after breakfast. This is not the first time that they have done this. Sometimes people gave Albert a bunch of snacks and desserts and they couldn't finish them, and they were worried that they would be spoiled and wasted, so they would share them with everyone.

For example, last time I won the International Wizard Chess Championship and the Magic School Potions Championship. Anyway, every time Albert became famous after winning the championship, he always received a bunch of gifts, which also contained a large number of desserts and snacks. He would let him every time. The Weasley twins and Lee Jordan shared them with everyone.

As for the reason, Dumbledore had long heard of Ludo Bagman's debt.

"When Bagman was in the World Cup, he used fake gold coins to fool us, and he didn't even want to return the principal to us, so we just wanted to make a joke with him and let him play a game in vain without getting a point. ." George said to Dumbledore.

They undoubtedly knew that 80% of those desserts were mixed with ecstasy.

It's just that they won't admit it, just say it's a little prank.

Naturally, Dumbledore didn't intend to punish them. After all, whoever was hacked would be extremely annoyed with the sum of money they had saved. A small prank showed that they had been quite restrained.

As for the incident of the ecstasy in the collective, it was purely an accident.

After all, they "don't know" anything. They just share desserts with everyone as usual, without any malicious intent.

But this undoubtedly interrupted Dumbledore's original plan, and his plan to visit Batty was postponed.

As for, does he go by himself?

No, you can't do that, it's easy to get into trouble. It's best to find a serious reason to make the Ministry of Magic think it was just an accident.

Otherwise, no one knows what will happen if they go.

If Crouch is dead, he will be passive.

The Ministry of Magic will not admit that Voldemort is still alive, it will only buckle this incident on his head, or on the heads of other dark wizards.

As for those who are looking for the Ministry of Magic, go with the Auror?

This is by no means a good idea.

To be honest, except for a few trusted friends, Dumbledore didn't want to trust the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, especially the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge.

The opponent is now becoming more and more obsessed with his status and power, becoming more and more "degenerate", and is getting closer to the pure-blood wizard.

He is unreliable, very unreliable.

For Dumbledore, the British Ministry of Magic has never been a help, but a constraint and a trouble.

There are too many pure-blood wizards who hate Dumbledore and like to drag him back, and most of these people are Death Eaters who have escaped that year. They used some loopholes to escape the sanctions of the law, even Dumbledore. Lido had no good way, he couldn't overthrow the existing system of the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, finding Ludo Bagman to find Old Barty is the best way at the moment, because Dumbledore has already thought about it.

The second project is far more dangerous than the first project, because the Warrior needs to enter the Black Lake to save the hostages and leave his sight. Even Dumbledore has no good way. Therefore, the safety of the warrior can only trouble the murlocs under the black lake to look after them. Even if the murlocs are willing to help take care of the warriors, there may still be big problems, such as the warrior being attacked underground in the black lake or accidentally drowning.

They need a safe and reliable plan to ensure that the warriors can be rescued as soon as they encounter danger.

As for the plan, Dumbledore had already thought about it.

Dumbledore looked at the plan on hand, then looked at the pocket watch on the table, and in another hour, it was the time agreed with Bagman.

Before leaving school, he must make some decorations.

At this moment, Dumbledore was waiting for someone in his office.

The other party didn't let him wait too long, and someone knocked on the door of the principal's office, and Snape walked in with a gloomy face.

No way, the ecstasy incident actually let the Gryffindor quartet escape, and the four annoying guys evoked some unpleasant memories of Snape.

What annoyed Snape even more was that Dumbledore had already defined this incident as an accident, and had directly exposed it lightly.

Even if Snape could tell that the three of them were lying at a glance, he even believed that the culprit was Albert Anderson, but... he couldn't send the four **** to confinement.

"I will leave school before eight o'clock. I need you to watch Moody. Just don't let him leave your sight." Dumbledore said to Snape.

"What's going on." Snape immediately noticed something was wrong.

"I may have found some clues," Dumbledore said vaguely.

"Clue?" Snape murmured, reaching out and grabbing his arm. "It has something to do with that?"

There are not many things that can make Dumbledore pay attention to, Voldemort is definitely one of them.

Dumbledore did not answer, but continued, "I suspect someone has sneaked into the school. I need you to help me stare at the professors in the school."

"Including Moody?" Snape asked in a weird tone.

"Of course, I will let Moody's watch you, you can find any reason." Dumbledore looked at Snape and said.

"Does this make any sense?" Snape asked with a frown.

"Yes," said Dumbledore. "Two hours after I left, if there were Voldemort's minions in the school, I would definitely notice something was wrong and inform Voldemort and find him out."

"Who do you suspect, Moody?"

"Not yet."

"Well, since you said that." Although Snape was puzzled, he agreed.

After Snape left, about half an hour later, Moody raised his hand and knocked on the office door.

"Albus, what can I do for you?"

"I'm leaving school later to deal with one thing." Dumbledore said straightforwardly.

"It seems that this matter is very important, I'll go back and prepare."

"No, I need you to stay in school to help me look after Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, "I have always suspected Voldemort's helper in the school. I need you to make sure that within two hours after I leave school , UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did not have any professors to send messages outside.

"You really don't need a helper?" Moody asked repeatedly.

"Need not."

"Okay." Moody nodded and asked, "Do you have any suspicious goals?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head.

"It is true that there are no professors in the school who have symptoms of Imperius. Although the stronger Imperius is not ruled out, it is impossible to be asymptomatic after a long time." Moody's analysis, "After the elimination, there are only two remaining. One has a criminal record, Karkaroff has escaped some time ago."

"I believe Snape will not betray me, and he doesn't have to do that." Dumbledore said, looking at Moody.

"There are many cunning people in Slytherin, even you may be deceived." Moody sneered, "Albus, you are too soft-hearted and like to give others opportunities. I have eavesdropped on what they said about the Dark Mark With a reaction, God knows if that guy is going to return to his master."

Dumbledore said calmly, "If possible, take this opportunity to pick out the guy who is hiding."

There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy against him, but...what is the point of a known conspiracy?

However, Barty Jr. quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

He may have been targeted.

Moreover, Dumbledore may have actually found the Dark Lord's traces, and doing so is purely to prevent anyone from whispering or uncovering himself who is hiding in Hogwarts.

Of course, it may also be purely a conspiracy, just trying to seduce and seize oneself.

What should I do now?

After thinking for a while, Barty Jr. finally gave up on telling Voldemort that he couldn't be exposed yet.

With Crouch's magical defense measures, even if it is really troublesome, the owner must have a way to escape alone.
