Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

From a magical point of view, Kerexis could not deceive himself before violating the renunciation contract.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have no reason to do that. Although vampires were evil, they were not fools.

If they really did this, they would be tying everything to Voldemort, and they would never be able to get out.

Aiwen still remembers the nightmare in the memory of Keresis that he accidentally saw in class. Their family has troubles related to life and death, guarding more important secrets, and there is no reason to completely fall to Voldemort.

In the end, Ivan decided to talk to Keresis tomorrow, and then make a decision.

At this time, the four of them had already returned to the common room. There was no one in it, only the fire was still burning quietly.

"Ron, if what you said is true, then Ivan and I saw that person's back is that vampire!" Hermione said, "How did he get into the castle? Also, why did he stay in the middle of the night?" Sneaking into Snape's office?"

"Who knows, maybe they were connected in the first place," said Ron.

"And Crouch, why is he pretending to be sick?" Hermione ignored Ron and said to herself, "He can't come to the Yule Ball, but he can sneak here in the middle of the night at will and show up at Mu Professor Di's office, this is really strange."

"It's really suspicious!" Harry said, with a headache, and looked at Ivan eagerly, "Ivan, what do you think is going on?"

"There are all possibilities, you'd better be careful recently!" Ivan said absently.

Looking at the expressions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, it was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Ivan's answer.

"Well, maybe Ron was wrong!" Hermione said, "Barty Crouch is in the fireplace, and he may have used Floo powder to leave, but what about that vampire named Kelexis, his Why did the name disappear in a flash?!"

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know..."

"Should we tell Professor Moody about this, you say?" Harry asked.

"No, how do you explain the Marauder's Map?" Ron said hastily, "Forget it, Harry, Hermione is right, maybe I really got it wrong, you know, because the second The game thing, I've been under a lot of pressure lately."

"Speaking of the Triwizard Tournament, you should tell us what the clue you got from the golden egg?" said Hermione.

"Tomorrow, Hermione!" Ron waved his hand weakly, "I just want to sleep well now..."

Early the next morning, Ivan got out of bed early and came to Professor Moody's office.

The corridor in the early morning was very quiet, and there was no one there, even the murals on the walls were still sleeping.

Aiwen came to the extraordinarily secluded third floor and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in!" Keresis' voice sounded, followed by the sound of the door lock being opened.

Ivan pushed the door and walked in, seeing Keresis slowly putting down his wand, he was already waiting for him.

He sat on the chair facing the door, looking as if he hadn't slept all night.

Walking into this familiar office, Aiwen felt cold at first, which was much lower than the temperature in the castle.

His eyes immediately fell on the open windows, and the cold wind was pouring in forcefully, making whistling noises.

Keresis, can't he feel the temperature, or is he trying to freeze himself to death? !

Ivan just took a few steps forward, was about to close the window, and stopped suddenly.

Although the smell was very mild, he could still smell a faint smell of blood in the air.

He frowned and took a few steps forward, seeing a large mug on the desk in front of Keresis.

There was only some blood left at the bottom of the cup. Ai Wen sniffed it hard, and it should be dragon blood.

This guy seems to be seriously injured, and he needs to replenish blood immediately to recover.

Keresis paled and said weakly, "I'm sorry to let you see me like I am now."

"Snape's magic?!" Ivan asked softly.

"I was really careless at the time. The magic design was very ingenious and powerful. It was hidden behind the door of the storage room. Almost the moment I opened the door, it broke all the protection on my body. The next magic attack It came hard again..."

It is conceivable how powerful the magic that can instantly reveal Keresis' name can be.

Judging from Snape's tone, he was also very confident in the magic he arranged, and his tone was very proud.

Chapter 656 Bad News

Ai Wen has played against both of them, and has a general understanding of the strength of both sides.

In Aiwen's opinion, in terms of actual combat ability, Keresis is better than Snape.

But this is not absolute. The two of them have their own strengths in the spells and magic theories they have mastered, and the gap is not that big.

Especially in terms of magic traps, there are many uncertainties.

Facing Snape's well-arranged magic, it is not impossible for Keresis to get injured accidentally.

If Snape had been more ruthless and left a few curses there, Keresis might already be a dead man by now!

"What's going on?" Ivan asked, "Why did you go to his office?"

"Go find this thing." Keresis whispered, he took out a ball of something from his arms, and threw it at Ivan.

It's gill grass!

It looked like countless slippery, gray-green mouse tails, twisting in Ivan's hands.

As we all know, gill grass is a special plant in the Mediterranean Sea. It is very precious and rare, and it is a very unpopular potion material.

It is rare to find it in general potion shops and herbal shops, and only the potion master's storage cabinet will store this material.

Ivan has been collecting for a long time but there is nothing to gain. In Hogwarts, only Snape has gill grass.

"You went to Snape's office on purpose last night to steal this?"

"That's right, after all, this is the only way for Ron to pass the second game, isn't it?! Snape probably guessed where I was going, and then made preparations. What a scary guy!" Keresi Si sighed and glanced at Ivan, "Don't look at me like this, indeed, there is an easier way, but I don't have time!"

The successive thefts of the private storage room had alerted Snape.

However, the dangerous magic trap he set up there was obviously not used to deal with students.

Snape calculated that the person who put Ron's name in the Goblet of Fire would go to his private storage room to steal gill grass, and planned to catch him.

Many believe that putting Ron's name in the Goblet of Fire was intended to kill him during the match.

But Snape definitely didn't think so. He probably suspected that someone had sneaked into Hogwarts and planned some conspiracy.

Making Ron a warrior was an important step, it couldn't be boring just to kill him.

That being the case, the person hiding in the dark will definitely help Ron tide over the difficulties and finish the game smoothly.

The second game was in a lake. With Ron's ability, he wanted to breathe underwater, which only Nangsaicao could do.

As for other spells, it was impossible for Ron to master them in a short period of time, and Snape knew this very well.

In the original plot, Harry got the sac grass with the help of Dobby, and Barty Crouch Jr. did not show up.

The magic system of house elves is different from that of wizards. Dobby can transfer to the storage room without triggering Snape's magic.

It was smart for Barty Crouch Jr. to hide in the shadows and use someone else to do something dangerous like this.

That way, you don't have to worry about being exposed.

Compared with him, Keresis' actions last night were too reckless.

It is not a wise choice to actively expose yourself to Snape.

Snape would know what was missing if he went back to check, and he would naturally know that there was something wrong with Moody.

In other words, Keresis' current identity could be discovered at any time.

Thinking along this line of thought, Keresis's action this time is really stupid!

"Don't worry, I destroyed Snape's storage room before I left, took a lot of things, and left some tricks there." Keresis said, looking into Ivan's eyes, as if guessing Seeing what he was thinking, "It will take a long time for him to find out what is missing and determine my real purpose. This time is completely enough for me... By the way, I don't even have these potion ingredients What's the use, I'll give it all to you!"

He threw another cloth pouch to Ai Wen, which was bulging with a lot of herbs.

Keresis almost robbed Snape's storage. Ivan looked down and found that there were many precious materials inside.

For example, the top ten feathers of the soundless birds are the necessary materials for making veritaserum and memory potions.

Such feathers can be sold for five hundred gold Galleons each in the market, but there is still no market.

Few people will take it out and sell it, and the rarity of the sound bird greatly limits the production of these two potions.

Aiwen also didn't collect it, and he was reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy such precious potion materials.

Probably only Snape's private storage room had these things!

As long as he has the feathers of these soundless birds, Aiwen can try to configure veritaserum and memory potions.

He put away the cloth bag politely, raised his head and continued to look at Keresis, feeling that this guy was a little abnormal.

Normally, it would be foolish to just barge into Snape's office, but Keresis didn't seem to care.

"What do you mean by saying you don't have time? What are you going to do?" Ivan continued to ask, "I hope you can explain it well."

"Don't worry, I will tell you everything!" Keresis said with a smile, "You may not know that last night, Barty Crouch Jr. came!"

He saw that Ivan didn't respond, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

"It seems that you already know about this!" He said softly, looking at Ai Wen with great interest, "You came to question me about this, didn't you?"

"What is Barty Crouch Jr. doing here?!" Ivan said bluntly, "What does this have to do with you coming to Snape's office?"

To be honest, he was a little surprised by Keresis's frankness, and he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"Not good news!" Keresis said, holding the cup in front of him and playing with it, "Barty Crouch Jr. came over last night and told me that the Dark Lord couldn't wait, and he wanted us to bring Harry to him as soon as possible." In front of him, he needs to restore his strength as soon as possible. Under his urging, the original plan has been cancelled, and Barty Crouch Jr. had to show up and contact me. He planned to start the second game. But not for long!"

"Action in the second game?!" Ivan asked with a frown, "What is he going to do?"

"Speaking of which, he proposed a rather bold plan, but I don't plan to cooperate with him..." Keresis said slowly, "I rejected his request, I can't risk the lives of my people. Risky, so he can only act alone. If my guess is correct, he should be preparing to use the Portkey."

Chapter 657 Unexpected Expansion

"Portkey?!"

"This news is absolutely true. As for Barty Crouch Jr.'s specific actions, he didn't say anything, and I didn't ask." Keresis continued, "Anyway, if I ask, I may not get an answer. I just need to do it." Well, I can do what I should."

Hogwarts Castle is protected by all kinds of magic to prevent intrusion, and wizards cannot Apparate here.

Therefore, the Portkey was the only way to get Harry out of the school in plain sight.

Ivan didn't know what Barty Crouch Jr.'s original plan was, and what he planned to do to make Ron a warrior.

Now that plans have changed, none of this matters.

It was now certain that he was going to act on the second match, using the Portkey to take Harry out of Hogwarts.

Was he planning to involve Harry directly in the match? !

Or did he surprise Harry while everyone was paying attention to the game? !

The second game is for the Warriors to go to the lake to find the most important person. Ron's most important person should be Harry.

It is indeed possible to do it unobtrusively in the depths of the lake.

Considering that the news that Voldemort will not want to restore his strength and return spreads so quickly throughout the wizarding world, it is necessary to maintain proper concealment.

Doing it under the lake can also make Dumbledore not react so quickly.

Some time ago, taking advantage of the accident in the first match, Barty Crouch Jr. proposed that the Ministry of Magic send someone to arrange the venue for the match, and Hogwarts should not intervene. From this point of view, he had already planned.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of setting up the venue, they hid the Portkey under the water and tried to find a way to take Harry away.

There is no problem in the whole process, but Ivan still has a question to clarify.

That was why Voldemort suddenly became so anxious that Barty Crouch Jr. had to change his plans.

Even at the risk of being exposed, he went to Hogwarts to inform Keresis about this through the Floo network.

He has been hiding alone in the forest of Albania for so many years, so he can't even wait for such a short time.

"Why is Voldemort so anxious?" Ivan asked, "Did something happen?"

"The bad news is really one after another. The specific situation is unknown. The Dark Lord will not tell me his plan. So, we can only guess now, do you want to hear it?" Keresis said, pouring the rest of the cup He drank all the dragon's blood in one gulp.

He raised his head and stared at Ai Wen, and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, looking extremely weird.

Although he still looks like Moody now, at that moment, Ivan felt a red light flashing in those blue eyes.

Based on this picture, it is enough to classify vampires as heretics, more evil than dark wizards.

Just imagine, if the cup is not filled with dragon blood, but human blood...

The blood of a powerful wizard is far more attractive to vampires than dragon blood.
