Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 513 The Vanishing Crouch
"..."

"..."

After an embarrassing silence, Snape narrowed his eyes and moved his thin lips mockingly: "What? Besides Parseltongue, did you learn cat language from Fish, Potter?"

"I want to see Professor Dumbledore!" Harry's face darkened, ignoring Snape's sarcasm, "It's Mr. Crouch...he showed up...he's in the Forbidden Forest...he asked to... ..."

"What nonsense!" said Snape, his black eyes shining. "What are you talking about?"

Looking at Snape's malicious eyes, Harry knew that the other party would not let him go easily.

And considering what he had overheard before, the conversation between Karkaroff and Snape, Harry never thought of telling Snape what Crouch said.

So he could only yell at Snape: "Mr. Crouch! Ministry official! He's sick or something... In the Forbidden Forest, he wants to see Dumbledore! Tell me the password... ..."

However, just as Harry expected, Snape ignored his yelling at all, but twisted his thin lips and showed an ugly smile: "The Headmaster is busy, Potter."

Just when Harry gritted his teeth and wanted to reveal a little bit about Barty Crouch's condition, the stone wall behind Snape opened again, and Dumbledore in green robe appeared in front of Harry.

"there is a problem?"

Dumbledore asked, looking at Harry, then at Snape.

"Professor!" Harry didn't wait for Snape to speak, he took a step to avoid him, and came to Dumbledore, "Mr. Crouch is here..."

At this moment, Harry's words were interrupted by another voice from around the corner.

"What are you guys playing here? Fish wants to play too!"

(ΦωΦ)
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Mao Mao, who took Hermione out for a night tour, heard the movement here and rushed over.

"Good evening, Professor."

Hermione followed behind Fish, greeting them shyly.

Although she has gone out with cats and cats many times at night, when facing professors, especially the headmaster, Hermione still feels somewhat guilty.

Harry didn't care to greet the two of them, and continued to say to Dumbledore: "Mr. Crouch is in the Forbidden Forest and wants to talk to you!"

"Lead the way ahead," Dumbledore said to Harry, wasting no time.

And Harry also heaved a sigh of relief, and walked quickly along the corridor to the outside of the castle.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

(ω)
It was obvious at a glance that something strange had happened, Mao Mao quickly took Hermione's hand, and asked with bright eyes.

Snape stood there with an ugly expression, stared at the backs of several people in a daze for a while, and then followed.

Harry glanced at Snape, who was catching up, and said, "After I got back from the Quidditch pitch, I thought I'd stop by to see Hagrid..."

As he walked down the marble stairs quickly, he told what had happened before. Anyway, everyone here already knew about the Marauder's Map.

"... Then I accidentally found Mr. Crouch's name in the Forbidden Forest..." Harry talked about Barty Crouch's strange state after he found him.

Dumbledore's face suddenly became serious.

And Hermione, the know-it-all, couldn't help but said, "He must have been under the Confusion Curse, right? Did someone attack Mr. Crouch?"

"It may also be drunk meow."

(ˇˇ)
Mao Mao said seriously.

"There's also a possibility," Snape said sullenly, "that he's under the Imperius Curse and hasn't quite broken himself out of it yet."

Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Did Mr. Crouch say anything in particular, Harry?" asked Dumbledore.

Harry glanced at Snape again, hesitated, and replied honestly, "Said he wanted to remind you... said he did something terrible... and mentioned his son... and Bertha Jorkins... and... and Voldemort... seems to say that Voldemort has become stronger..."

Dumbledore and Snape's faces became even more ugly, and they quickened their pace again, and Harry and Hermione had to run to keep up.

"Is it to fight Voldemort, meow? Is it to fight Voldemort, meow?"

(ω)

Only Fish was very excited. He knew that he had gone to Hagrid with Harry just now.

"Where is he now?" Dumbledore did not answer Fish, but continued to ask Harry. At this time, they could already see the outline of Hagrid's cabin and Beauxbaton's carriage.

"Over there," said Harry, rushing ahead of Dumbledore and leading the group through the bushes.He couldn't hear Crouch's voice, but he knew he was right, the place was just a little past the Beauxbatons carriage... almost here...

"Mr. Crouch?" Harry called.

No one answered.

"They were here just now," Harry said to Dumbledore, "they must be around here..."

"Luminescent flashes." Dumbledore chanted the spell, lit up his wand and held it up in his hand. Snape and Hermione did the same, and the nearby darkness was quickly dispelled by three clusters of glowing white light.

"My wand!" Harry, who also wanted to do the same, realized at this moment that his wand seemed to have disappeared again. "It must have fallen around here when I was entangled with Crouch just now!"

"Is it this meow?"

(ΦωΦ)つ━
Fisher, with the best eyesight, dashed under a tree and picked up a wand.

"Yes! That's my wand! Thank you, Fish."

Harry hurried forward to take his wand, then wiped it twice with his robe.

"But Crouch isn't here." Snape looked at Harry who also lit his wand. "Maybe our Mr. Potter is lying again?"

"Harry didn't lie, meow." Fish twitched his nose twice, and confirmed for Harry: "There is indeed Crouch's smell here, and it should come from that direction."

(ΦωΦ)

Maomao pointed to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"Harry, where's your Marauder's Map?" Dumbledore reminded suddenly.

"It's gone too..." Harry touched his pocket, and replied with a bitter face, "It probably dropped here with the wand before."

After finishing speaking, he looked expectantly at Fisher who was beside him.Not only is the Marauder's Map a very useful prop, but Harry's father and godfather made it together, and he certainly doesn't want it to disappear.

But Mao Mao shook his head and said, "Fisch didn't see Meow either."

(`ω≡`ω)
"Severus," Dumbledore said after pondering for a moment, "please escort Harry and Hermione back to the castle first, and send them directly to Gryffindor Tower."

He looked at Harry and Hermione again and said, "When you two return to the dormitory, stay there and don't go anywhere. Even if you want to owl someone else's letter, you can wait until tomorrow morning."

Harry knew that Dumbledore was speaking mainly to himself.

"Uh... I see." He nodded, and Hermione obediently followed behind Snape and walked towards the castle.

"Next, Fish, come and help me find Mr. Crouch."

When facing Mao Mao, Dumbledore finally smiled a little.

"Okay meow!"

(ΦωΦ)
Fish took Dumbledore and followed the smell of Mr. Crouch to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but they stopped after walking three or four hundred meters.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"No..." Fish shook his nose, shook his head seriously, and said, "The smell in front is getting weaker and weaker, this should be Lumeow when he came over."

As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the original place, sniffing around with his mouth slightly open, and even switched into a cat-man form with a cat's head and a cat's brain.

"Crouch is the cat that disappeared here."

After some careful investigation, Fish said firmly to Dumbledore.
