I'm the king of scrolls at Hogwarts

Chapter 253 True and False Moody

After eating, Lewis planned to go to the principal's office first, and then take a look inside the library.

The first thing to solve is the problem of real and fake Moody, and the second thing is to take care of Patchouli. After all, the weak girl is unfamiliar with the place, so she always needs to pay more attention.

But before that, he planned to go to the Gryffindor common room and ask Harry to borrow the Marauder's Map. Harry naturally agreed to all Louis' requests and happily lent the precious map to Louis.

For the brothers, it was just a Marauder's Map, but Harry was still very generous.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked Louis what he was going to do, but Louis asked him back: "This is a secret, can you keep it a secret?"

Harry immediately nodded his head like a sewing machine and almost dropped his glasses to the ground.

Louis put away the Marauder's Map, patted Harry on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I can do it too."

Then he left the Gryffindor lounge with Harry's shocked eyes.

This operation was so sexy that Harry said he had learned it.

Ron was trying hard not to laugh. Although he was curious about what Louis was going to do with the Marauder's Map, it was obviously more fun to see Harry deflated.

After laughing a few times, he was kicked in the butt by Harry.

Let's talk about Louis walking around the castle with the Marauder's Map. Just as Louis expected, Alastor Moody in the Marauder's Map is indeed shown on the map as "Barty Crouch." Small."

Little Barty is still doing something in the office now. He is probably training Moody, plucking some hair from his body to prepare the polyjuice potion.

But it should not be said that Snape will be miserable this semester. After all, Barty Jr. gets the ingredients for his polyjuice potion from Snape.

Yes, when it comes to Death Eaters, can it be called stealing? That's called Shun...

Louis held the Marauder's Map just to confirm. However, he couldn't help complaining about Aunt Rowling's lack of rigor. In theory, Harry liked to wander around with the Marauder's Map. He would definitely notice the sudden appearance of a teacher he couldn't match. After all, even Anima Gus's Peter Pettigrew could detect it, so there was no reason he couldn't see through a wizard disguised as Polyjuice Potion.

It can only be said that it is not the place where the gods are hidden in the Marauder's Map.

"Sizzling honey candy!" Louis read out the password in the principal's office in front of the gargoyle in the principal's office, but the gargoyle didn't move at all.

What a shame...Louis was a little embarrassed and complained in his heart that Dumbledore had changed the password for the principal's office without notifying him.

Louis tried several more commands without getting any feedback. Then he took out his wand and tapped the two gargoyles: "Reducto? (Shattered to pieces)"

This was not a spell. Louis was not so crazy as to destroy the principal's office. He just said a question.

Get out of the way or be crushed to pieces, that's a serious question.

The gargoyle wisely moved out of the way, and a spiral staircase appeared in front of him.

Wouldn't it be okay if you were so obedient earlier? You have to ask me to recite some spell, really... Louis muttered in his heart, raised his legs and climbed up the stairs.

In the principal's office, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were enjoying tea comfortably. The two old men looked very comfortable and chatted about nothing. Fox was squatting on his bird pole and taking a nap. The Sorting Hat seemed to be taking a nap too, and they didn't notice the little devil Louis coming in at all.

Seeing Lewis, Dumbledore raised his head and asked with a smile: "Hey, you are so free today, do you want to come and sit in my office?"

"It's something important. Let's talk to you." Lewis was not polite and sat on the other side of the table carelessly.

Dumbledore put down the tea cup and asked with a smile: "Let's not talk too much. Do you want some tea? Can you have a cup?"

With that said, Dumbledore poured half a cup of black tea for Lewis, took out a honey jar, and added half a cup of honey to Lewis in front of him.

Louis' eyelids jumped when he saw it, my dear, principal, are you really not afraid of getting diabetes if you drink like this?

But our principal obviously didn't care much about these details. He handed the tea cup to Louis, indicating that he could enjoy it.

"Recent tooth decay, Headmaster." Louis found a tactful reason to refuse Dumbledore's cup of tea.

"Well, then you are really out of luck." Dumbledore spread his hands and expressed a little regret.

Louis looked at Dumbledore speechlessly, thinking that this kind of blessing was not what he wanted.

Grindelwald beside him chuckled and said nothing, just watched him secretly use magic to separate the honey from his tea, and then drank it all.

It seems that he is also a person who doesn't like added sugar.

It's okay, as long as the coffee is not chewed dry and without sugar - but judging from what this grandpa has done, he is much better than Gao Qiqiang.

Humph, Europa does not allow such awesome people to exist!

"That's right, Headmaster Dumbledore." Louis put the tea cup aside and started talking about business - mainly because he felt that it would be easy to pull the skin off of the honey tea without stopping - he glanced at Dumbledore , continued: "Who is that Mad-Eye at the freshman dinner yesterday?"

"You mean Alastor Moody?" Dumbledore glanced at Lewis and smiled: "Our man."

The meaning of Dumbledore's words is very straightforward. The deeper meaning of "our people" is "reliable people".

"Really one of ours?" Louis looked at Dumbledore with a half-smile.

Dumbledore nodded, then frowned and asked: "What, did he offend you? Well, maybe he is crazy sometimes and has a weird temper, but in fact he is indeed a reliable person. "

Then Dumbledore was worried and gave another instruction: "He doesn't have many missing limbs anymore. Listen to my advice and don't hit him too hard. Just beat him half to death..."

Louis looked at Dumbledore with a dark face: "Who do you think I am, professor? Do you think I am Grindelwald?"

Grindelwald was happily drinking tea when he heard Louis call his name. He almost choked and instantly transformed into a Nurmengard flower and sprayed it all over the table.

"Why are you talking about me? I'm warning you, boy Louis, I won't beat the person who offended you half to death like you..." Grindelwald defended himself with an unkind expression, but his words sounded a bit lacking in confidence. .

"Yes, you definitely don't beat people half to death." Lewis complained mercilessly: "Principal Dumbledore told me that you like to use fire the most..."

Grindelwald coughed twice and sat aside and stopped talking.

Lewis did not pursue the victory, but looked at Dumbledore seriously: "You are wrong, Professor, Mr. Moody did not offend me, there was someone else who offended me."

"Oh? Who is it?" Dumbledore asked with some interest. As for why he was interested, it was really...no one had dared to offend Louis for three years. He wanted to know who the birthday boy was who took the arsenic - it was too disgusting I wish I could live longer.

To be cautious, he asked again: "You're not a student of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang, are you?"

"Of course not, he's from Hogwarts." Louis said with a smile: "I think you must still know him. You also met his father during the Quidditch World Cup in the summer vacation."

"Oh?" Dumbledore's interest was aroused. He broke off a chocolate bar and took a bite. He said slowly: "I'm a little interested now in who this person could be..."

"Barty Crouch Jr." Lewis said with a calm expression, a person who made Dumbledore's expression change slightly.

"Barty Crouch Jr.?" Dumbledore repeated, then he shook his head and said with a smile: "How is it possible, Barty Crouch Jr. has died in Azkaban..."

"Are you so sure?" Louis asked with a smile.

Dumbledore sat up straight, looked at Lewis, and said with a chuckle: "Speaking of which, this is still an old thing, when you were still very young..."

"Barty Crouch Jr. was once a Death Eater and was accused of torturing the Longbottoms, yes, Neville's parents..." A look of recollection flashed across Dumbledore's face, "This is also the case. The final reason why Fudge came to power was that Barty Crouch Sr. was originally a hot candidate for Minister of Magic, but since this happened...sigh."

"Almost in a blink of an eye, his wife died, and his son was accused and imprisoned in Azkaban. He died soon after, and the family's reputation was ruined. People began to sympathize more with his son and wanted to know why such a person of origin A boy from a well-known family would become a Death Eater, and finally come to the conclusion that as a father, he never cared about his son. In this way, Fudge took the first position, and Crouch was transferred to the Department of International Magical Cooperation. "Dumbledore shrugged, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

This matter is not a secret. It can be said that everyone in the magic world knows about this mess in the Crouch family. Crouch Sr. was a man with a strong official addiction. It was a trivial matter for his incompetent son to do such a shameful thing. It would be unforgivable if it affected his career.

Lewis sighed, looked up at Dumbledore and said: "Headmaster, what you don't know is that due to the imprisonment of Barty Crouch Jr., the health of his mother, Mrs. Crouch, has deteriorated rapidly. As we all know, , Barty Crouch Sr. had a high status in the Ministry of Magic, so Mrs. Crouch asked him to take her to visit her children."

"She convinced Barty Sr. to take Polyjuice Potion herself, took Barty Jr.'s place, and smuggled her eldest son out of Azkaban. Not long after, she died due to the deterioration of her condition, and Buried outside the castle as Barty Crouch Jr." Louis sighed: "This is the story of that year."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean, is there any follow-up to this matter?"

"You are indeed my good principal." Louis smiled and took out the Marauder's Map: "Of course, in order to make you believe what I just said, I brought you the Marauder's Map - the one Harry used to discover That map of Peter Pettigrew.”

"Oh, I know this map." Dumbledore shook his beard: "I think I had some input when James and the others made this map."

"Really?" Louis raised his eyebrows, thinking that you, the principal, are really not doing your job properly...

"If it's this map, then it's correct." Dumbledore picked up the map and searched carefully, and sure enough he found the figure of Barty Crouch Jr. on the map.

He paused for a moment and immediately remembered that that should be Moody's position.

"You know why I mentioned Alastor Moody?" Louis spread his hands: "Obviously, through this Marauder's Map, I discovered that he used Polyjuice Potion to become Moody."

"If my guess is correct, Principal." Louis continued: "What happened at the Quidditch World Cup during the summer must be related to Barty Crouch Jr. Think about it, we only found out at the scene of the incident Winky, Crouch’s house elf..."

"This shows that at least Barty Crouch knows about this matter." Dumbledore nodded slightly and asked another question: "What makes me a little puzzled is why old Barty pretends to be confused and why To protect his son, logically speaking, he should hate him very much. Besides, with his character, keeping Barty Crouch Jr. under house arrest is the limit. He would never do anything like this when he was a child. Barty will still cover up his actions after summoning the Dark Mark..."

"Mr. Crouch was very abnormal that night." Louis said meaningfully: "Just think about how he behaved that night..."

Dumbledore recalled it carefully and said, "Yes, it's very abnormal. You mean... he was under the Imperius Curse?"

"Yes!" Louis smiled and nodded: "I suspect this matter is related to Voldemort, and Peter Pettigrew, who escaped from Azkaban, must be related to both of them. Voldemort needs someone who is not in Azkaban. , there is also someone who is a little clever and loyal to him to do things for him. There is no doubt that Barty Crouch Jr. is definitely his candidate."

Dumbledore nodded and looked at the Marauder's Map again.

The little dot that represents Barty Crouch Jr. is moving outward.

"What is he going to do?" Dumbledore asked, frowning.

Lewis spread his hands: "Maybe there's something going on. I think we should follow up and take a look."

Then, Dumbledore suddenly saw a dot representing Barty Crouch Sr. appear on the Marauder's Map.

"Old Barty? What is he doing here?" Dumbledore asked with a frown, "Isn't he under the Imperius Curse? How can he still come to Hogwarts..."

Lewis suddenly said: "No, let's leave quickly. Old Batty must have broken free of the Soul-Imperius Curse and wants to report this matter to you. He is in danger!"
