Chapter 280 Moody's Discovery

"Look! Hermione!"

Harry kept his eyes on the direction in front of the tavern door, and carefully kicked Hermione under the table, signaling her to look where he found it.

Hermione looked away from the book impatiently, and then saw what Harry told her to read.

Outside the door of the Three Brooms tavern, four people walked in together. Because one of them had a very conspicuous figure, many people in the tavern noticed them.

Originally, Sherlock took Silk with him, just wanting to stroll casually on the streets of Hogsmeade. The reason why he insisted on inviting Silk to come out for a walk was purely because she felt that she stayed in Hogsmeade all the time except for class. In his own office, it's not good for his health, it's not that he's trying to do something wrong.

As a result, not long after they arrived in Hogsmeade, they met Hagrid and Moody who also chose to come out today, so the four of them now came to the Three Broomsticks Tavern together.

As soon as he entered the door, when Sherlock was about to find a seat, Moody's magic prosthetic eye suddenly spun around, and soon stopped at the position where Harry and Hermione were.

"Haha." He let out a burst of laughter as if he saw something interesting, "It seems that someone doesn't want to be too noticeable, come with me."

He took Sherlock and the three of them to Harry's side, and then sat around an empty seat beside them.

Under normal circumstances, Sherlock would not release the control magic and waste his energy, so he didn't find Harry hiding under the invisibility cloak, but just looked at Hermione with a strange face.

"Why are you drinking here alone? What about Harry and the others?"

Hermione blushed, and just as she was stammering and opening her mouth, before deciding whether to tell the truth or not, Moody on the side had already spoken out with a smile.

"Harry, is he sitting next to you soon, Sherlock."

Immediately, Sherlock understood. He looked at the empty seat opposite Hermione with a strange expression, and asked softly.

"Are you planning to do something bad again? Why do you come out wearing an invisibility cloak?"

Harry was still surprised that Moody's magic false eye could see through his invisibility cloak. Facing Sherlock's question, he was a little embarrassed to say that he didn't want to see Ron, but He just found an excuse to fool around.

"I don't want people to see me, I've been annoyed by them these days"

His excuse was quite reasonable, and Sherlock and the others didn't hear any problems.

Naturally, they all knew about Harry's current situation at Hogwarts. If he really appeared in a tavern that was almost full of students openly, he would probably be disgusted and stared at.

In this regard, even Sherlock and the professors have no better way to do it. It is rare that Moody comforted him.

"Don't worry, after the first project is over and those students have seen the danger of the Triwizard Tournament, they won't have the heart to gossip about you."

But his words didn't have any consoling effect. After hearing this, Harry felt chills even more, and felt uneasy about the competition event about testing courage that would start soon.

Hagrid, who was silent all the time, had twinkling eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Sherlock and the others didn't stay in the tavern for long, they just chatted for a while, and after drinking two glasses of butter beer, they got up and prepared to leave.

But there were three people when they finally left, and Hagrid said he wanted to have two more drinks, so they could leave without him.

After Sherlock and the others left, Hagrid took advantage of Hermione's time to go to the bar to get drinks, and leaned into Harry's ear, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Come and find me in my hut at midnight tonight, and remember to wear an invisibility cloak."

After saying this to Harry, he also stood up from his seat with a calm expression on his face, and left the Three Broomsticks bar.

Harry didn't understand what Hagrid said, and he didn't hide it from Hermione when she came back.

"Why did Hagrid ask him to go to him in the middle of the night wearing an invisibility cloak?"

Hermione was also surprised by this.

"Hagrid asked you to find him in the middle of the night? I don't know if it's good or bad, Harry, but you haven't forgotten that tonight is also the day you and Sirius made an appointment to meet?"

Harry's letter to Sirius got a reply not long ago, and he made an appointment with him to talk to Harry using Floo powder tonight.

Harry hadn't forgotten about it, of course.

"Then we have to make a quick decision tonight. I hope Hagrid won't be troublesome looking for me."

While they were continuing to chat, Sherlock, Silk, and Moody who had already left the tavern were walking side by side on the streets of Hogsmeade.

"About throwing Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, I also asked Vera to help with divination to see if I could find any clues about that person, but I still found nothing."

His voice fell, and Silk also spoke at this time.

"Divination is not omnipotent. What can be seen depends not only on the ability of the fortune-teller, but also on whether fate is willing to open this hole."

It was only when Moody came to Hogwarts that he realized that Sherlock had a close relationship with the witch named Willa Silk.

He was still wondering that Sherlock, who used to be like a gourd, even if his temperament changed drastically later, shouldn't have the tendency to have a girlfriend so soon.

But at this time, of course, he would not ask these questions, but spoke about his findings.

"I always walk around the school during this time, especially in the middle of the night. And just a few days ago, it seemed that a group of big guys related to the first event of the Triwizard Tournament came to the Forbidden Forest , There was quite a commotion at night."

"It was also during a period of time that I found a suspicious person coming out of the Forbidden Forest."

Sherlock frowned and repeated his description.

"Suspicious people?"

"He was wearing a black robe and a hat covering his face. He was hiding his head and showing his tail. I found him by accident by the black lake. Before I could draw out my wand, he also spotted me, and then turned around and drilled Into the Forbidden Forest, and then I couldn't find him."

Moody said with a serious face.

"Afterwards, I talked to Dumbledore about this matter. He said that many Romanian wizards have come to the Forbidden Forest recently. I may have seen these people. But he is not sure, just let me Be more vigilant and watch the situation in the castle."
