Huang Ting

Ta-ta,

There was a sound of iron plates rubbing against the ground in the shadows. Professor Moody walked out of the shadows with his cane on his hands. Under the light, his eyes were cold and solemn, which was completely opposite to the enthusiasm just now.

Hermione was startled when she saw Hu Xiuwu looking over her and behind her, calling Professor Moody's name again, but now she didn't dare to hide from Hu Xiuwu, so she could only retreat to one side in panic.

"Professor Moody!"

Moody, leaning on a cane, was not surprised by their arrival: "You are too slow."

Hu Xiuwu said: "I always have to find an excuse. If you informed me in advance, you wouldn't have to go to such trouble."

At the dance, Moody's magic eye, which could see through invisibility and perspective, always glanced at Hu Xiuwu.

But after the previous fight, Moody had already discovered that the reason why his sneak attack failed was because Hu Xiuwu had sharp senses and could detect the gaze of the magic eye.

But he still did it, clearly trying to seduce him, so while dancing with Hermione, Hu Xiuwu glanced at the source of the magic eye with his peripheral vision, only to find Moody quietly leaving the side door of the auditorium.

Before leaving, he exchanged a meaningful look with Hu Xiuwu.

Therefore, Hu Xiuwu took the opportunity to drag Hermione over.

"I didn't plan to invite you originally."

Moody's tone was dull and his words had no beginning or end, but Hu Xiuwu understood instantly and glanced sideways at the confused and helpless Hermione beside him.

Sure enough, is it because of Hermione?

"Let's go. Time is running out. There isn't much time left for the dance. Let's talk on the way."

Moody turned and left, leaving only Hu Xiuwu and Hermione.

Hu Xiuwu smiled and said: "How about it, are you interested in joining an adventure?"

It turns out it was really an adventure, not the kind of adventure she thought. Hermione, Hermione, what are you thinking about?

The villain in Hermione's heart was so ashamed that she kept slapping her cheeks, causing Hermione's face outside to turn crimson:

"Okay, okay."

Although she was still a little shy, Hermione still held up her skirt and followed Hu Xiuwu and Moody.

As a Gryffindor student, how could you refuse an invitation to adventure?

Hu Xiuwu patted Hermione on the shoulder. Starting from Hermione's shoulder, the dress on her body changed into jeans and a small vest that were more suitable for movement. Even the small dress shoes under her feet turned into leather boots.

The fairy Cinderella met at midnight became a fairy, so she changed from a gorgeous princess to a heroic and energetic beautiful girl explorer.

"Thanks,"

Hermione spun around in a circle. As a Western girl, although she was only fourteen years old, she still had a curvy figure. Even Hu Xiuwu admitted that when Chen Duo was fourteen, her appearance was as good as Hermione's, but her figure was

Far inferior to Hermione, Westerners are indeed unique in this regard.

"But isn't this a little too formal? Where are we going?"

It feels like this outfit is worn for jungle adventures. Are you going to the Forbidden Forest?

Hermione tugged at her tight-fitting vest and curiously guessed,

"Well, I don't know either. Let's let Professor Moody explain it."

Hu Xiuwu coughed, not embarrassed to say that it was just because of his own bad taste that he imitated a certain countess who was suspected of being a turbulent fate and gave it to Hermione. In his impression, except for Chen Duo, she could wear anything.

Uniform, this is the only one suitable for sports.

Needless to say, the stubborn and brave Hermione does look like Lord Crawford when she wears this outfit.

Walking in the silent corridor, Moody revealed his plan.

Even after Harry's name was spit out by the Goblet of Fire, he has been secretly investigating the truth, but has gained little, and the Yule Ball is an excellent opportunity.

People from either party will be present, taking this opportunity to search for the suspect he most suspects.

After listening to Moody's explanation, Hu Xiuwu said: "You suspect that the principal of Durmstrang put Harry's name into the list."

"Ingor Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was once a Death Eater. I once captured him into Azkaban,"

"He has a criminal record, coupled with the circumstances when he entered the auditorium that day."

"The auditorium?" Hu Xiuwu recalled the situation that day, "Is it the time when there was sudden lightning and thunder on the starry sky dome of the auditorium that day?"

"Ah!" Hermione suddenly screamed, thinking of the records in the book, "I remembered that it was recorded in "Hogwarts: A School History" that the starry sky dome of Hogwarts can determine who enters the auditorium.

Are people hostile to Hogwarts, so once a hostile person enters the Great Hall, there will be lightning and thunder in the dome?"

Moody praised: "That's right, but it's a pity that if this was a classroom, otherwise I would give you extra points, Miss Granger."

"That's right, as long as someone who is hostile to Hogwarts enters the auditorium, lightning and thunder will appear in the starry sky in the auditorium to alert the staff."

"Karkaroff was hostile to Hogwarts, and then someone threw Harry Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire. There are such coincidences in the world."

Although Harry and Ron's previous attitude towards her made Hermione very unhappy, they were still her most important friends. Hermione said anxiously:

"Then why don't we ask Harry to come over?"

Moody explained: "Since Harry is the target of the conspiracy, he is also the focus of the people hiding in the shadows. Moreover, he is also the hero who attracts everyone's attention at the ball. If he leaves midway, he will definitely be hidden in the shadows."

The conspirators discovered.”

"No matter how careful I am, there is still a risk of being exposed later. If I get too close to Harry, if I arouse their suspicion, and worry that Harry will know the truth and take risks, Harry will be in danger."

"But Harry needs to know the truth, so I need you to tell Harry the truth."

Moody plans to search Karkaroff today. Regardless of whether Karkaroff is the real murderer or not, he will pretend to pursue it to the end and lure the people behind the scenes to silence him.

If he could fight back, everyone would be happy. If he failed, someone would need to help Harry eliminate certain suspects.

As the messenger in the middle, the first person Moody looked at was actually Ron.

Ron was a young man, his parents were old acquaintances of Moody, and his brothers were all good people, so Moody believed in his character. In addition, Ron and Harry were in the same dormitory, which made it easier to communicate.

But Ron was immersed in the ball, trying to talk to Fleur, and always pretending to be nonchalant and glancing at the dazzling Hermione. He was so busy that he didn't notice him at all.

Moody was still a little worried about how to take him away quietly, but following Ron's gaze, he noticed Hermione and Hu Xiuwu.

Ron can't do it, so can Hermione.

She is also Harry's friend and can help spread the message. With Hu Xiuwu beside her, he doesn't have to worry about how to lure them out. In addition, the Easterner is also the one with the least suspicion, even if Hu Xiuwu knows his secret.

For the purpose, he could also induce Hu Xiuwu and use a reward that he could not refuse to keep it secret.

After changing the target, things became simpler. Moody only needed to stare hard at Hu Xiuwu, and Hu Xiuwu would naturally accept his hint.

This is the simplest, most direct, and most covert method, but it is to test Hu Xiuwu's understanding to see if he can understand Moody's hint.

Fortunately, Hu Xiuwu realized his hint in the end and took Hermione away in an ambiguous way without arousing suspicion from others.

Just now, Moody went out early. He didn't just wait for Hu Xiuwu and Hermione. He also took the time to go to the Gryffindor common room and used the Flying Charm to transfer Hermione's wand, which was stored in the girls' dormitory.

Summoned.

How could a wizard go on an adventure without a wand? Hermione excitedly took her own wand.

Not only that, Moody also prepared two broomsticks and hid them in the grass. Although there was an extra Hu Xiuwu on this trip, fortunately, Hu Xiuwu didn't have to worry about them.

Hermione and Moody skillfully stepped onto the broom, kicked off their feet, and rose up from the ground. A thin line flew out beside Hu Xiuwu. The thin line gradually expanded into a brocade snake, and the moonlight was sprinkled on it, like an ancient cloud brocade.

As bright as the morning glow, with brilliant brocade patterns.

When carrying Hu Xiuwu into the sky, Hu Xiuwu was like an immortal carrying a colorful cloud.

Hu Xiuwu lamented: Yutama Kyoko's flying is becoming more and more standard, but Yukyoji's strength is not enough.

Time was tight, and the three of them flew to the shore of the Black Lake. The three-masted sailboat of the Durmstrang Magic School stopped at the pier beside the Black Lake.

The entire ship is like a fat crescent moon after fifteen years of age. The bridge at the stern does not resemble the shape of a ship at all, but looks like a miniature castle forcibly connected to the ship, which does not match the style of a sailing ship at all.

Without magic power, such a mechanically unbalanced ship would be blown over by a strong wind at sea. Oh, by the way, this ship is a diving ship. It is meant to dive into the bottom of the water and is not afraid of strong winds at all.

The hull is not very in line with engineering mechanics, but there is no denying that this ship is indeed as beautiful as Peter Pan’s little spaceship in the fairy tale.

However, beneath the surface of the fairy tale dream is a cruel reality.

"Be careful. Durmstrang teaches students black magic. There will definitely be traps and protection measures inside."

After Moody's explanation just now, Hermione felt that she had a heavy responsibility. After hearing Moody's instructions, she nodded solemnly. She was not Harry and Ron. She did not listen to others' advice and was always reckless and arrogant.

.

Moody waved his wand, lowering the gangway on the side of the ship, and then stepped up immediately. Hu Xiuwu ordered Hermione to walk in front, and he followed behind. Hermione's task was to act as an eye, and she was not needed to fight.
