A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 434 Moody's Homework

Lavender Brown grumbled.

"What did you say, I didn't catch?" Moody said roughly, taking a few steps closer.

Lavender was startled, and subconsciously leaned back. The book on her lap fell and hit the ground with a "bang". She quickly picked up the book and put it in the table.

"I, uh, I just said, maybe it's because he wasn't targeting me," she said, flushing.

There was low laughter in the classroom.

Moody didn't laugh, and neither did the few people in the seat—Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who knew the answer ahead of time.

"You guys think that's a good answer, don't you?" Moody said softly. "And if you happen to get in the way of his plan... what happens next?"

The air in the classroom seemed to freeze.Moody dragged his wooden legs forward a few steps and moved in front of Lavender, who suddenly trembled violently.

Parvati, who was next to her, summoned up her courage and said, "Professor Moody, I think... the dark wizard must have his own purpose for infiltrating the school, doesn't he? We had a similar situation in the first grade. There was a dark wizard who wanted to hide The... er, magic stone at school?"

"It's the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione corrected in a low voice, staring at the back row with the others.

Moody's good eye turned to Parvati, and the magic eye was still fixed on Lavender Brown.

"Miss Patil, you are right. Dark wizards have their own goals when sneaking into the school. Before the goal is achieved, one must act carefully. But this is based on the fact that everything goes well..."

"But what if it doesn't go well?" His broken nose fluttered, "Like now, I noticed you because of a book, if 'I' was that dark wizard, if 'I' just wanted to divert someone else's attention……"

Suddenly Moody drew his wand, and a blinding flame flew from the tip of the wand. Suddenly, the windows in the classroom exploded, and there was a series of screams in the room.

With a calm wave of his wand, the shattered glass and panes snapped back together.

"In the eyes of the dark wizard, that window is no different from a human life. If at a certain moment he thinks that one or two people should die in the school, it doesn't matter...why can't it be you?

What's more, that's not an ordinary dark wizard, but a more dangerous Death Eater, who is devoted to the Dark Lord, planning for his master's resurrection—"

"Professor, You-Know-Who is dead!" said a student in horror, looking at Moody like he had finally gone mad.

"Really?" Moody grinned, "During the war, the Dark Lord would occasionally disappear for a while, and some people thought he was dead, but he always declared his existence with bloody incidents, maybe he likes this A dramatic scene."

He held out his rough hand, "Miss Brown?"

"What, what?"

"The book," said Moody quietly.

Lavender stood up and handed him the newly bought "Running Against the Black Terror" tremblingly.

Moody turned two pages and returned the book with a disgusted expression.He limped back to the podium, picking among a stack of parchments, "Before I officially start my story, there is one thing that must be done - I suddenly realized a problem: you are too far away from the war , I have no idea at all..."

"It just so happened that I wasn't idle during the holidays, so I sorted out some materials." Moody pointed to his head and said, "Professor Haipu suggested that I write down all the things I can remember in the past six months, and sort out a line. Maybe some lost memories can be retrieved..."

"I refused to write on paper, but I still spent a lot of time reviewing my past experiences, and by the way, I also thought of more distant things. I think some of them are still valuable and can be used in teaching...Miss Brown, Can you read it for me?"

He pointed at the podium with his wand, and a few pieces of parchment floated over. Lavender Brown took it and took a look, her face turned pale instantly.

"Miss Brown?" Moody stared at her viciously.

"Oh, I... okay." Lavender looked like she was about to cry, and she tremblingly read the above content:
"Bellatrix Lestrange, Death Eater, tormented countless Muggles and non-Dark Lords during the Wizarding Wars, and was extremely fond of the Cruciatus Curse. She was involved in at least 137 horror The operation is related, and the known victims include 206 Muggles and 29 wizards. The list of victims is as follows: Polk Keene, who died of the Cruciatus Curse, was killed together with his wife Winnie and his five-year-old son Busney; Salisbury Joshua, died under the Fire Curse... Bellatrix Lestrange was finally sentenced to life imprisonment."

"Rodolphus Lestrange, Death Eater, involved in the vast majority of the actions of his wife Bellatrix Lestrange and brother Rabstein Lestrange . . . Life imprisonment."

"Ann, Antonin Dolokhov, Death Eaters, participated in the brutal murder of Fabian and Gideon Prewett who dared to resist the Dark Lord's rule...The list of victims...Sentenced to life Imprisonment."

"Evan Rozier... was killed by an Auror for resisting arrest after the Dark Lord's fall."

"Old Mulciber, Death Eater . . . died during the war."

"Wilkes, Death Eater . . . died during the war."

"Little Mulciber, accused of using the Imperius Curse on a number of people, forcing them to do horrible things, and continuing to cause chaos and terror... Sentenced to life imprisonment."

"Fenrir Greyback, werewolf and leader of the werewolf community, was notorious for his penchant for attacking children. Dedicated to making more people werewolves in hopes of building a strong army against wizards... in war Following the Dark Lord, the Ministry of Magic issued a warrant, but is still at large..."

Lavender didn't finish reading until the bell rang, and she looked pale and sick.

Moody took back the parchment calmly, "Let's continue next class, I think this class is very meaningful. Today's homework is to find the names of the Death Eaters you can find, and list what they did... . . . I've already made a sample for you, haven't I?"

"I can also reveal the content of the next class—I just thought of it—those who died during the war against the rule of the Dark Lord. You can check the information in advance and preview it."

Moody trudged away.

The students packed their things quietly, not in the mood to talk.Lavender retched and ran out of the classroom crying. Parvati chased after them carrying their belongings.

Ron stared at them and said uneasily, "She really had a hard time with this class. I thought our class environment would be better in the new semester..."

Harry sat pale in his seat.

"Harry, what's the matter with you?" Ron looked at Harry, Hermione shook his head at him, and it suddenly occurred to him that Harry's parents died during the war.He patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Fenrir Greyback," said Harry suddenly.

"What?" Ron and Hermione looked at him in astonishment.

"Fenrir Greyback," Harry swallowed, "Sirius told me that Remus was bitten by a werewolf named 'Fenrir Greyback' when he was a child, and I thought the werewolf had been bitten He was imprisoned in Azkaban, but he escaped punishment unexpectedly!"

Ron was taken aback at first, and then showed a dazed expression.He comforted: "Don't worry, he won't end well, at worst we meet and arrest him later."

His tone was as if he had heard that there was a biting cat raccoon wandering nearby, and all he had to do was to kick it away when he encountered it.

Harry laughed instead.Hermione said angrily: "Let's learn the warm-up spell first, and when the ice on the Black Lake melts, we will spend time practicing swimming!"

"Swimming in January and February weather?" Ron opened his mouth wide, as if considering the question for the first time.

"I have prepared a series of spells, waterproof spells, warm-up spells, withdrawal spells, bubble head spells or human-shaped iron armor spells, and some regular spells..." Hermione ignored Ron and continued: "We'd better Get this done by the end of January, leaving enough time for contingencies—”

"Have you made an appointment with Fred and George?" She turned to Ron.

Ron immediately stammered, "Not yet."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Hermione said domineeringly, with her hips akimbo, and Harry and Ron shrank their necks.

The last few people in the classroom left as well, and Draco Malfoy looked preoccupied, not much more so than Lavender.

Ron said sharply, "Maybe he'll get an A on the assignment, he'll just have to write home and ask what his dad and those Death Eater friends did..."

Harry saw Malfoy's footsteps pause, and guessed he should have heard it, but strangely, this time he didn't smile mockingly, but walked away without looking back.

Harry turned to see Hermione picking up a book from a table in the back.

"Oh, Lavender left it behind, I think she might not be in the mood to clean it up...I'll bring it to her," Hermione said, her eyes stopped on the author's name on the cover, and she hesitated, "Of course we can also Let's take a look first."

……

In the evening, the ancient rune office.

A beetle crawled in through the window and slowly recovered its human form on the floor.Rita Skeeter was panting. She hated meeting Felix alone, but she couldn't help it. She was going crazy.

Her new home—there were signs of being broken into the day before yesterday, and she wondered if that crazy Death Eater did it.She really couldn't imagine that the fugitive named 'Barty Crouch Jr.' would risk appearing near her home when the wanted notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys.

'Maybe radical fans...'

But she couldn't convince herself with that reason, and besides that Black was trying to find out about her, and damn it, she didn't even mention the last name 'Black' in the new book.At most, there is a slight hint in the title of the book and the background of the characters...

Suddenly the lights in the house came on.

Rita Skeeter was startled, her eyes widened, and she could barely see the person sitting on the sofa clearly, and she couldn't help trembling.

"Rita, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Felix said softly, holding Varen in his arms, and the Niffler was looking at her curiously.

"Haw (a bug turned into a human)?"
