The three Harrys did not enter Hogsmeade, but walked carefully around the periphery of the village.

Harry was carrying a large backpack, which was so full that it was almost overflowing.

They walked for a short distance on a rarely traveled path until they finally came to a crossroads.

A huge black dog was waiting here. When he saw Harry, he emerged from the bushes and walked up to them.

It was obviously underfed and its belly was a little shriveled.

What's more special is that it also holds a copy of the"Daily Prophet" in its mouth.

The big black dog walked around behind Harry, sniffed into the backpack, then showed a very human expression, nodded with satisfaction, and led them forward, and the three of them followed in silence.

The big black dog led them into the forest, around the foot of a mountain, climbed half way up, and finally got into a gap made of natural rocks.

The three of them, Harry, were almost exhausted, but the big black dog seemed very excited.

After arriving at the place, the big black dog lay on the ground, flicked the newspaper from his mouth, and transformed into a���A tall man with a deep face.

The most wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic and also Harry's godfather, Sirius Black.

He was dirty, wearing a tattered and smelly robe, and unkempt.

In the cave, there was also a hippogriff, a magical creature with the characteristics of several animals at the same time. Its eyes were shining, staring at Harry and the other two who entered the cave.

Harry and the others bowed to the hippogriff immediately.

Only when they saw the hippogriff nod slowly to them did they breathe a sigh of relief and look up.

""Hurry, give it to me, I'm almost starving."

The man took the backpack from Harry, poured out the food inside, and ate it voraciously.

He grabbed a chicken leg and ate the meat on it in a few bites, then threw the chicken bones to the hippogriff.

The latter didn't pick and ate happily.

""Sirius, how are you?"

Harry asked.

Sirius tried to swallow a piece of chicken and said,"Don't worry, here, only you three and Dumbledore know that I am an Animagus."

"But I have to be careful. Buckbeak and I can almost only survive by eating rats. We can't show our faces. Its size is too conspicuous. I can only turn into a dog and try to find ways to get some food."

"Don't worry, I'm used to it, no one will doubt a dog casually"

""Let me talk about you, Harry. Your letter sounds very anxious. Is it the same issue we discussed last time?"

Harry:"No, I encountered a strange thing."

Harry told Sirius in detail everything that had happened recently, including the letter that Moody sent to the bottom of the Black Lake, and what Andy had done.

After listening, Sirius fell silent. After a while, he said:"That Andy Hall you mentioned sounds very interesting. If I can go back to Hogwarts to study again, I should be able to chat with him."

"He originally had nothing in common with you, but he is happy to help you. This kind of person either needs something from you, or wants to gain the benefits he needs from you. I don't know which kind he is."

"This is really weird, and you were right to come to me.

Hermione defended:"Andy is not that kind of person. He has never hurt Harry."

Sirius suddenly asked:"Is he handsome?""

"ah?"

Hermione was stunned, her face turned red, and she didn't answer immediately.

Sirius laughed:"Now I understand! No wonder you spoke up for him, Hermione"

"That's not true!" Hermione said angrily,"Andy knows Moody better than we do. When he heard Harry mention Moody in the school hospital, he fell into deep thought and finally said nothing."Sirius laughed and asked,"Why don't you ask him directly? I think they both have secrets."

Hermione said helplessly,"Because I also know Andy, I don't think I can get the words out of him, let alone Harry and Ron."

Sirius began to pace back and forth in the cave, thinking and saying,"I don't know what that Hall is thinking, but I subjectively think that Moody really just wants to help you, Harry."

Harry was puzzled:"Why?"

Sirius:"Moody is called Mad-Eye because sometimes he does do things that others can't understand."

"He has fought too many dark wizards and suffered many injuries, which has had a great impact on his character."

"Moody is a maverick and doesn't care about other people's opinions, but his biggest characteristic is his hatred of evil. At the same time, he is also an Auror with a bottom line. Didn't you say that he once turned Malfoy's son into a ferret?

Harry was excited:"Yes!" At that time, I had just learned that I had become a warrior. Malfoy and I had an argument. He wanted to sneak attack me, but Professor Moody saw it, and he repaired Malfoy without even thinking.

Sirius nodded:"This is Moody. The justice in his eyes is different from what ordinary people understand. Although he will not easily curse others like a dark wizard, he will use his own way to achieve his goals.""

"Maybe he had the same intention in helping you this time. You are the youngest among the four warriors, and you are still forced to compete."

"If Mad-Eye admires you, he'll probably do this because he doesn't think it's fair.

Harry:"So, Professor Moody really just wants to help me?""

"I think so." Sirius said,"But, I think you have also overlooked another person."

"In this Triwizard Tournament, Moody is not important, Hall is not important, he is the most important."

Harry was curious:"Who are you talking about?"

Sirius:"Barry��·Crouch, the missing referee."

This time it was Harry's turn to be stunned.

The relationship between Harry and Crouch goes back to the Quidditch World Cup.

At that time, Harry and Hermione were invited to watch the game with the Weasley family.

Chaos occurred. When they arrived, Harry discovered that his wand was missing, and they didn't know who had stolen it.

They later discovered that a house elf named Winky had picked up Harry's wand, and Harry's wand was eventually detected. The wand that released the Dark Mark.

As the top minister of the Ministry of Magic at the time, Barty Crouch looked very ugly because Winky was captured at the scene.

In the end, Barty Crouch. Qi therefore expelled Winky, a house elf who lost his job and was considered a shame in their own culture.

Winky was brought back to Hogwarts by another house elf named Dobby, whom Harry knew.

Dumbledore gave them a job. The whole thing was very strange, but Harry still couldn't figure out what the crux of the problem was.

Ron picked up the newspaper and handed it to Harry. The explanation given for Crouch’s disappearance was that Crouch was unwell and seriously ill.

Sirius chuckled:"If Crouch would give up work because of illness, I would eat Buckbeak.."

When Buckbeak heard this, he raised his head and glared at Sirius.

Sirius waved his hand apologetically and continued:"I know Crouch very well. He is a standard politician. In addition to his career and official career, Don't care about anything, including your own family"

"He's not the kind of person who won't show up because he's sick."

"If there's someone behind this, I'm inclined to think it's Barty Crouch. He's not as serious as he looks."

Buckbeak finished gnawing on the chicken bone, let out a soft whistle, and paced to the cave entrance.

It squinted its eyes and glanced back and forth in the cave, looking bored.

Noticing Buckbeak's actions, Sirius smiled and said,"It's really hard for it to follow me."

Ron said casually,"Does it want to go out for a walk?"

"Maybe. Sirius turned to Harry and asked,"Harry, you said you lost your wand once. Can you show it to me?"

Harry took out his wand without thinking and handed it to Sirius.

Sirius took the wand with satisfaction and held it in his hand for a while.

Hermione:"Is there any problem, Sirius?""

"No, there's no problem……"

The next moment, he suddenly jumped up without any warning, pointed his wand at where Harry and the others were standing, and shouted loudly:"Petrification!"

A spell was cast from Sirius's hand and went straight towards Harry and the others!
