Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 912: Hiding place
"Sirius?"
As soon as Hermione walked into the school hospital, she saw a familiar figure talking to Harry.
"Good afternoon Hermione and Ron."
Sirius smiled as he greeted the two who had come to see Harry.
"Why are you here?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"I'm here to find Dumbledore, and Albert by the way." Sirius casually peeled the apple, "Although Albert doesn't seem to be at Hogwarts, and I don't know where to go. However, I Asked the Weasley twins and they said Albert was probably on a date."
"Because of Peter Pettigrew?" Hermione immediately thought of the reason.
"That's right."
Sirius didn't want to discuss the matter in front of the children, so he turned to Harry and asked, "Has the Golden Egg's secret been solved? How's the preparation for the second event of the Triwizard Tournament? "
"The secret of the golden egg has been revealed. It seems that you have to open it underwater to know the secret inside." Harry said dryly. Is hospitalised.
"Albert said that the scream of the golden egg was actually the voice of a murloc. The murloc's voice was very pleasant underwater, but it became very bad when it came ashore." Hermione explained like Sirius , "The second project is in the water, but it's not easy to breathe underwater."
"If the second project is going into the water, then there are not many options." Sirius cut the apple into a plate and handed it to Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and said in a hurry: "You can use it. Bubble head mantra, which allows us to breathe underwater, but there are certain risks involved."
"What risk?"
"Once the Bubble Head Charm expires and hasn't surfaced, it's really over, and it won't take long to drown under the water, even wizards. Although Dumbledore should be able to do it. There are various safety measures, but... to be honest, it is still very dangerous, and Harry, can you swim?" Sirius suddenly asked.
"No!" Harry was a little embarrassed, he really had never learned to swim before, and the Dursleys didn't teach him at all, and they wouldn't take the time to teach him.
"Look at the clues in the golden egg first, and if you want to learn the Bubble Head Spell, I remember that it should be taught in the sixth grade spell textbook." Sirius thought for a while and continued: "However, I I think there should be an easier way on Anderson's side, and I'll ask him for you when he comes back."
"Forget it, that guy wants money." Harry muttered, "I'll find time to practice the Bubble Head Charm at that time, and there's still more than a month left. I think it shouldn't be difficult to master a Bubble Head Charm. ."
"It's always better to be prepared," said Sirius.
"By the way, do you know what happened to Barty Crouch?" Harry whispered. "I read in the paper that he seemed to be...killed by Peter Pettigrew."
"Crouch is under the Imperius Curse." Sirius said in a low voice, "It should be a good thing Voldemort did. When Dumbledore and Bagman went to Barty to discuss the safety of the second project, I noticed something was wrong. Originally, Barty had been rescued and taken away by Bagman, but Peter attacked Bagman while Dumbledore was fighting Voldemort and killed Barty, I think It should be for silence."
"Voldemort is back?"
The three of them opened their mouths, almost speechless in surprise.
"No, according to Dumbledore, Voldemort has a very fragile body, but Dumbledore finally succeeded in destroying Voldemort's body, maybe that's when the scar on your forehead becomes hot, you are not Can you feel Voldemort's wrath?" Sirius frowned and continued: "Now they're all suspecting that Crouch threw your name into the Goblet of Fire, maybe because of some Voldemort conspiracy, and the Ministry of Magic is proud of it. Law found a lot of medicinal herbs in Crouch's house, and the Ministry of Magic still doesn't know what Voldemort's conspiracy is, but this matter should be related to you."
Having said that, Sirius comforted again: "However, you don't need to worry, Voldemort has been defeated by Dumbledore, and there will be no trouble for the time being."
"I remember Percy as Crouch's assistant?" Harry nodded, as if remembering something and suddenly said, "I remember Albert telling Percy at the Christmas party that he would soon be Will become the Minister of Magic's assistant, and Percy has been struggling for a long time, even suspecting that Crouch will become the Minister of Magic."
"Aide to the Minister of Magic? You're sure, but how did I hear from Fred and George that Percy got into trouble with this, and I heard he's now under investigation by the Ministry of Magic," Ron said. When this happened, I don't know how to bring a bit of gloating.
"Under investigation?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"They think Percy, as Crouch's assistant, should be aware of Crouch's abnormality and report it to his superiors in time." Ron shrugged.
"Typical shirking of responsibilities, which is a common occurrence at the Ministry of Magic, and Percy Weasley was thrown out of the blame by sheer misfortune." Sirius dismissed this.
No one found Crouch's anomaly, so how could an assistant find an anomaly?
"I heard that Percy's position was recommended by Anderson." Ron suddenly remembered something, and his face twitched.
"You said, could Dumbledore just listen to Albert and Percy's conversation before he planned to take the time to visit Mr. Crouch?" Hermione said suddenly.
"I always thought soothsayers were liars," muttered Ron.
"It is true that most of the fortune-tellers are liars, because there are very few prophets who can see the future." Sirius felt that Harry and Ron were not in the mood, "Those who can predict the future are all prophets. Respected by people. In fact, almost all of the prophecies Albert Pettigrew made to me about Peter Pettigrew have come true.”
"Okay, it's almost time, I still have an appointment with Dumbledore." Sirius did not forget to remind before leaving: "Take care of yourself Harry, and write me a letter when Anderson comes back." /
"I feel like Sirius cares about Anderson," Ron whispered.
"I think it's because he can see the future,"
"Honestly, I've always thought Anderson was a liar, at least in some ways he did Sybill Trelawney."
"Always like to play tricks."
The two agreed on the matter.
Hermione looked at Ron and Harry and shook her head, admitting that others are powerful, is it really that difficult?
While Ron and Harry were complaining about Albert's formal style, Sirius had knocked on the wooden door of the principal's office.
"Come in!"
Dumbledore's voice came from the office. When Sirius opened the door and entered, he found that Arthur Weasley and Kingsley Shacklebolt were here, but he didn't see Moody.
"Sit down, Sirius, you came just in time." Dumbledore pulled an armchair for Sirius.
"You didn't find Mad-Eye, did he have a problem?" Sirius asked with a frown.
"He's not right now, and he won't be right until the end of next summer," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Inappropriate?" Kingsley asked, turning his head quickly, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Moody? Or some other reason?"
"I suspect Barty Crouch Jr. is infiltrating Hogwarts."
"Barty Crouch Jr., isn't he dead?" Kingsley said in confusion.
"No, Barty Crouch Jr. shouldn't be dead, after all, Peter isn't dead either." Speaking of Peter Pettigrew, Sirius gnashed his teeth.
"Did you suspect Mad-Eye because of the school start?" Arthur's response was also quick, he believed that Dumbledore would definitely not suspect his old friend at will.
"There's always something wrong with the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts," Sirius shrugged and complained, "and they're usually life-threatening, don't forget, the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professors' It's a bit of a miserable end, so it's best not to let Mad-Eye get involved, no matter how reliable he is."
The three of them looked at Sirius in unison, and finally agreed.
Judging from the experiences of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is indeed a high-risk profession, so it is not difficult to understand that Dumbledore does not want his old friends to get involved.
"Okay, since everyone is here, let me come first."
Dumbledore waved his wand to the Pensieve and showed the three of them what had happened that night. The other three were stunned when Voldemort appeared as an ugly baby.
Not even a baby, let alone a monster.
It has no hair, and it seems to have scales on its body. The skin is dark and red, like tender flesh that has been injured. Its arms and legs are thin and soft, and it even has a flat snake face. .
"Although it is ugly, it is undeniable that Voldemort temporarily has a very fragile body and has some spellcasting abilities. I suspect that he intends to create a healthy body and regain his own power.
"Can this kind of thing really be done?" Sirius couldn't help asking.
"Voldemort knows a lot of black magic that I don't know, at least I don't know how he made this body, but believe me, there are many kinds of black magic, and it changes. It's not surprising." Dumbledore folded his hands and pondered: "There is also evidence that the Ministry of Magic Aurors found a lot of medicinal herbs in Crouch's house."
"I'm afraid this is true," Kingsley said. "According to my list from the Ministry of Magic, I asked Mr. Damocles, the master of potions, and he told us that some of the potions in it can be used in To make the compound potion, because some of the bicornuate horn powder and African tree snake skin fragments were found in those medicinal materials, just to gather the medicinal materials for the compound potion. But the Auror did not find the compound potion in Crouch's house, So Dumbledore's guess may be right, someone sneaked into the school under the guise of a compound potion."
"Maybe, this is the one who put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire?" Sirius said through gritted teeth.
Dumbledore didn't pay attention to what Sirius said, looked up at Arthur and asked, "What news do you have over there."
"I asked Percy, and he said that after the World Cup, Mr. Crouch's physical condition is not as good as before. He thinks that Mr. Crouch has spent too much effort in the World Cup. It is said that in After the World Cup, Mr. Crouch started letting Percy alone."
"You think Mr. Crouch was under Voldemort's Imperius after the World Cup." Kingsley's reaction was quick, and it had something to do with his Auror career.
"At least not until then, I've asked about his house-elves," Dumbledore nodded.
"House-elf?" Arthur thought of something unpleasant.
"She's working at Hogwarts, and I can tell from the house-elves' reactions that Barty Crouch Jr. is alive." Dumbledore continued, "I suspect that the Dark Mark at the World Cup is It was made by Barty Crouch Jr. Later, because of this incident, Voldemort was attracted, so Voldemort used the Imperius Curse to control Barty, but you also know what kind of person Barty is. Couldn't control him very well, and I think there were signs before the Triwizard Tournament, when Barty wasn't in great shape."
"It shouldn't be done by Peter Pettigrew. His magical power is not strong." Sirius continued, "Is there any news about him now?"
"No, Fudge sent all the Aurors out to find Peter Pettigrew, but still found nothing." Kingsley shook his head, "He ordered Peter to kill, obviously preparing to cover up what happened to Voldemort."
"It's like something he would do." Sirius scoffed, "So, now the cemetery is the last clue."
"The cemetery, what is that?" Both Kingsley and Arthur cast doubtful glances at Sirius Black.
"Anderson's prophecy, when I was in the World Cup, I once asked Anderson to foretell the whereabouts of Peter Pettigrew." Sirius drew out his memory and put it into the Pensieve, and a crystal ball appeared on it. A very hidden room is reflected, and after the picture disappears, it is replaced by a forest, and then a double eagle flag.
It soon turned into a big, desolate house, and a man behind it, Barty Crouch Jr., they all recognized it.
In the end, it turned into a desolate cemetery, and the picture was finally frozen in front of a tombstone.
"The previous pictures have actually been fulfilled. I think in the end, only the location of this cemetery is left, but I still haven't found where it is." Sirius hopes to find it with the help of everyone's wisdom. some clues.
"It's incredible. As far as I know, there hasn't been a prophetic master who can predict the future so accurately." Kingsley was very shocked. "Maybe, we can invite him to join the Order of the Phoenix."
"If he was asked to help, Anderson probably wouldn't refuse, but inviting him to join ~IndoMTL.com~ I find it difficult." Sirius felt that the chance was slim.
"It turns out, I know."
Dumbledore, who had been staring at the Pensieve, suddenly stood up, "So that's what it meant."
"Dumbledore, what do you know?"
Everyone looked at Dumbledore in unison, wondering what secret Dumbledore had discovered.
"I can probably guess where Voldemort is hiding." Dumbledore greeted several people: "Come with me and talk about this as we go."
Everyone quickly followed.
"Something happened during Voldemort's increased power," said Dumbledore quickly, "Bertha Jorkins disappeared without a trace in Voldemort's last hideout, I think she should have Dead. And Mr. Crouch, who was under the Imperius Curse and died the other day. There's another notable incident in the village where Voldemort's father was born, a man named Frank Bly. The Muggle of St. Petersburg has disappeared. He has been missing since last August, and it was reported in the Muggle newspapers."
"Muggle newspapers?"
"This is different from most of my friends in the ministry."
"You think Voldemort might be hiding in that village," Sirius asked.
"Yes, doesn't the crystal ball picture a big desolate house? I think Voldemort might be hiding there."
