Hogwarts Emerald

Dumbledore's instructions made Ada confused. It was obviously a matter between Moody and Barty Crouch and his son, so how could it involve Snape?

Not understanding, Dumbledore had no intention of explaining, so Ada could only keep these words in mind and think that Dumbledore had other plans.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

If you ask the question to the end, it is because the other person originally planned to tell you, but he is still hesitating, so you can get the answer from the other person by asking.

If the other party has no idea at all, even if you break a dozen crucibles, the other party will still not reveal a word.

Ada, who was confused, had no choice but to return to the lounge, vaguely recalling all the details of when Dumbledore said this, trying to figure out something. But she found nothing in the end and couldn't guess what grand plan Dumbledore had in mind.

Those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake can worship the general. If Dumbledore doesn't want you to see something, he always does it well.

The next morning, Ada caught Harry in an empty classroom, along with Hermione and Ron.

When Ada arrived, they were discussing what happened in the Forbidden Forest last night, and the disappearance of Barty Crouch under everyone's nose.

"So," Hermione said, rubbing her forehead, "either Crouch attacked Viktor, or someone attacked them both when Viktor wasn't looking."

"It must have been Crouch," Ron said immediately, "so he was gone by the time Harry and Ada got there. He was gone pretty fast."

"I don't think so," Harry said, shaking his head. "He looks very weak... I don't think he can Apparate or anything."

At this time, Ada knocked on the classroom door, calling the three people's attention to herself at the door. Conspiracy out loud, planning in public, Gryffindor's old skills.

"There are anti-Apparition measures on the grounds of Hogwarts, and even a healthy Crouch cannot disapparate in the school." Ada corrected, "This is in "Hogwarts, a School History" "Repeatedly mentioned in "."

No one can Disapparate at Hogwarts, not even Ada, but she can use Blink instead of Disapparate.

Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even mention that book. I've told them countless times, but they never remember it! Not even once!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, their confused looks were exactly the same, and they asked each other: Can't you disapparate at Hogwarts? When did Hermione say this?

"Then... maybe the two of them will only remember this if they see the content in the book with their own eyes, or if they perform Apparition themselves in school."

Ada said with a smile that sometimes she really admired these two fools, Harry and Ron. They were so confused but could always turn danger into disaster. They were so lucky.

Compared to the two idiots Harry and Ron, Ada admired Hermione even more. If Hermione had been in her place, she would have gone into a rage, and might even have strangled both of them to death with one hand.

"Harry, what did Barty Crouch say to you before you ran out of the Forbidden Forest last night?" Ada asked.

"He was incoherent and seemed to be mentally disturbed and in poor physical condition." Harry recalled, "He said he wanted to remind Dumbledore that he had done something stupid. He also mentioned his son."

That's right. When a person's mind is abnormal, everyone will listen to what he says as crazy. However, people ignore that there is often incredible truth hidden in these crazy words.

Barty Crouch wanted to give Dumbledore a heads-up and talked about his son, proving once again that Barty Jr. is indeed still alive. The only person in the world who knew Barty Jr. was still alive was Crouch himself, and maybe the house elf Winky.

Ada continued, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, he also mentioned the missing Bertha Jorkins." Harry said, "He seemed to believe that Bertha Jorkins was dead, and he also believed that Bertha Jorkins' death was caused by his mistake. "

Of course it was Crouch who caused it, and Ada's previous guess was confirmed again.

Previously, Ada had believed that the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins was not as simple as the Ministry of Magic thought. It was possible that Bertha knew some secrets that she should not know, so she was artificially missing.

Crouch, who is now in an abnormal state, "doesn't bring it upon himself" and puts the blame on himself. Doesn't this mean that Ada's idea is right?

Bertha Jockin once visited Barty Crouch for work or other reasons. She accidentally discovered the secret of her boss. She discovered that Barty Jr., who was supposed to be dead, was actually still alive.

As a result, Bertha Jorkins was transferred from the International Cooperation Department. And she never mentioned the secret she saw to anyone, maybe because she "forgot" it.

In the magical world, memory is very unreliable. Memories can be forgotten or modified.

As for the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins, and even her death, Ada is still not sure who is responsible.

After thinking for a while, Ada asked again: "Harry, where is your map? Do you still have the Marauder's Map in your hand?"

"You... do you want to use it?" Harry was a little embarrassed, because the map was no longer in his hand. "For some reasons, Professor Moody discovered the Marauder's Map, and then it was confiscated by him."

So, no wonder Moody in school could do everything in a short time last night, making Barty Crouch look like he disappeared from the world.

Ada has reason to suspect that Moody has been monitoring the school through maps during this period.

Last night, he was the first to discover Crouch on the map, so he immediately went to the Forbidden Forest to dissuade or control Crouch.

But Moody was still late, and Crouch met Harry and Krum who were chatting alone first.

Perhaps it was because there were so many people that it was difficult to take action, or perhaps for other reasons, Moody had not taken action yet. It wasn't until Harry left that Moody knocked Krum unconscious and controlled the crazy Crouch.

But Moody probably didn't expect that Harry would come back so soon, and he would come back with another person.

In order not to expose himself, Moody had to deal with the scene hastily, and then hurried back to the castle, pretending to meet Snape by chance, giving himself a sufficient alibi.

What Ada has never thought clearly about is this, why Moody moves so quickly and is always one step ahead of others; and how he met Snape accurately in the castle, which not only gave him an alibi, but also It would allow him to return to the Forbidden Forest in time to clean up the mess.

With the Marauder's Map, these problems are easily solved.

Moody can see everyone's movements in advance, cleverly avoid everyone, and then have a beautiful encounter with Snape.

"Ada, what do you think of this matter?" Hermione asked, "Mr. Crouch must not be able to evaporate! There is no trace left at all."

After thinking for a while, Ada felt that she should choose something to say, because some people are too impulsive and their acting skills are too poor. She replied: "Crouch certainly didn't evaporate, he just disappeared, perhaps like Bertha Jorkins."

"Like Bertha Jorkins..." Hermione repeated herself, and then she subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. She already understood what Ada meant.

Although it took a few seconds, Harry and Ron figured it out quickly. Harry couldn't help but said: "Why is this happening..."

"Human beings are always curious about secrets, but people who know too many secrets often put themselves to death," Ada said, "especially when these secrets involve another huge conspiracy."

Hermione thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Ada, are you saying that Mr. Crouch's disappearance is related to that person?"

Ada was very relieved to see Hermione use "that person" instead of just saying "Voldemort".

Ada nodded to confirm Hermione's suspicion, and then asked Harry: "Harry, can you tell me more about the dream you had during the summer vacation?"
