[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 220 Moody and the Triumvirate

"Don't worry, that lord has gained true immortality. Even the dementors are on our side. I can't think of any reason for us to fail."

Men usually only believe in their so-called rational thinking, and rarely consider whether women's intuition is also reasonable.Lucius Malfoy was no exception, even though he always considered himself a gentleman who loved his wife, he didn't take Narcissa's words to heart.

However, he really didn't want Narcissa to feel sad about the Black family anymore, so he naturally shifted the topic to their precious son Draco. "School will start next week, and there will be a dance this year. Have you decided on Draco's gown?"

"Remember that velvet robe you wore to the Ministry of Magic dinner last Christmas?" Narcissa's expression softened and relaxed at the mention of her son. "I ordered him one of the same style but with a different dark pattern. I know he likes that style very much."

"So what color did he choose?"

"Black." Narcissa couldn't help laughing, "Oh, I hope he won't be infected by Severus' aesthetics."

Dress gowns are required for everyone from grade [-] and above this year, which made many students very excited.Because it means there will be a dance this Christmas.Nothing gets students on high hormones more excited than prom.

But that certainly didn't include Ron, whose face crumpled just thinking about that awful maroon robe in his suitcase.The second-hand dress gown not only looked like a crumpled skirt, but also had moldy ruffles around the neckline and cuffs.

"I'd rather not dance than be ashamed of wearing this to the Yule Ball." Ron was still moping about it until he got on the train.

Neville didn't seem to be in a good mood either, but he was obviously nervous: "Do you think I can find a dance partner?"

"As long as you're not wearing my robes, you'll find a partner, Neville."

Harry tried not to get involved in Ron's complaints.Because Mrs. Weasley helped Harry choose a dark green dress robe, which looked very beautiful.Of course, most importantly, it is brand new.He was a little dazed looking at the constantly receding scenery outside the window and the splashing raindrops on the car window.When Neville mentioned a partner, he thought of someone all of a sudden, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Harry has finally been in a better mood lately.Before school started, Sirius came to see Harry at the Burrow, and brought over Harry's school suitcase.Although they couldn't talk about Aunt Jody or that Mr. McCafferty, Sirius had a serious conversation with Harry about Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Wormtail is still at large, and Sirius, who has been demented one after another, quietly tells Harry that Moody, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the new school year, used to be the best Auror in the Ministry of Magic. He thinks this means that Dumbledore is also aware of the current situation not safe.Keeping your guard up at school, Sirius' attitude reassured Harry, at least he felt less isolated than he used to be.And Harry reminded himself repeatedly that Sirius was actually not obliged to tell him everything about Regulus, it was Sirius' private matter, and he shouldn't act like someone who was overly curious...well, he was Greg Ryffindor isn't it?

Hermione has not been involved in the topic of the prom, she is more concerned about Harry's courses this semester than this: "Harry, you insist on continuing to take all the courses?"

"Yes."

"But I really don't think the Divination class is meaningful—but the Muggle Studies class is a bit of a pity." Hermione said with some regret, "I like Professor Bubaji's class very much."

"I like it very much too. I don't know if she is back to health now." Harry couldn't help frowning when he thought of that chaotic night.

"Don't worry, Madam Pomfrey can heal any injury."

As a special day like the beginning of school, today's weather is very bad.It had been raining in London since they got on the train, and when they arrived at Hogwarts, the rain hadn't stopped, it had intensified.Harry had put a "waterproof and moisture-proof" spell on his glasses and had to worry about the first years who would have to take a boat across the lake to Hogwarts in this weather.

By the time everyone was seated in the auditorium, they were all wet and drowned - and Peeves gave them a second attack in the foyer with water bombs.

Harry raised his head and looked at the teacher's desk, his eyebrows furrowed strangely.Professor Bubbaji had indeed recovered, and she sat next to Professor Victor with a smile on her face, smiling at him when she caught Harry's gaze.Some girls were disappointed that Sirius had left Hogwarts.After Sirius left, Professor Lupine returned to the position of professor of protection of magical creatures.Professor Snape looked the same to the other students, with a gloomy face, but Harry felt that his mood was a bit similar to when Sirius appeared last year, and that might be because of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor sitting next to him.

As soon as they saw this professor, many students covered their mouths and let out low cries in horror.He looked terribly horrific, with scars on his face that distorted his features into unnatural shapes.The most frightening thing is his eyes, one of his eyes is black and small, and the other eye is big and blue, turning around automatically in the eye socket, sometimes turning too much Too fast, only big white eyeballs left.

"Oh..." Neville let out a faint groan. "No, it's Mad-Eye Moody..."

"He's Moody?" Ron said in surprise. "I keep hearing Dad mention him, saying he's a great Auror and a friend of Dumbledore's, but he's retired."

"Yes, my dad has been with Moody since he was an Auror, he respects Moody, he likes to say Moody's catchphrase - be alert at all times - that's what he always says," said Neville. . "I've seen him twice before, cough..."

He rubbed his nose, embarrassed to tell at the dinner table how he cried the first time he saw Moody. "But he seems a little nervous now. I heard he said three times a week that he met a dark wizard."

"Yeah, my dad said a while ago that he thought a dumpster was attacking him..."

"But he's an experienced Auror after all, isn't he?" Harry whispered.He remembered what Sirius had reminded him of.Dumbledore certainly didn't invite the experienced old Auror to Hogwarts for no reason.But it wasn't very pleasant to see Professor Snape's appearance.

The dreaded Moody certainly caught the attention of all the students right away, but Moody wasn't the only one who could be talking about this evening.What really aroused the interest of all the students at once was Dumbledore's announcement that this year's Quidditch competition would be canceled and the Triwizard Tournament would be held instead.

Only then did Harry know what Malfoy was showing off at the World Cup.For a competition that had already been suspended due to the high number of fatalities, the resumption was almost unbelievable, and the visits of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons made the students curious.

Even though the entry was restricted to students over the age of 17 (a rule that clearly aroused dissatisfaction among some students, such as the Weasley twins), it still didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm: being able to witness the race itself was Enough to be exciting.

"Think about it, the Triwizard Tournament, isn't it awesome? I wish I was 17..."

"Oh, and if Harry Potter turns 17, he'll be chosen as a Hogwarts Champion."

The Triwizard Tournament was a topic of discussion for a long time after school started.Despite hearing similar conversations, as a fourth year student, Harry didn't think the competition would have anything to do with him.His courses are full, and he doesn't have so much time to think about unrealistic things.And Hermione went into the library and began to look up all the materials about the Triwizard Tournament. The death mentioned by Professor Dumbledore obviously frightened her. She hoped to know more about this traditional competition that lasted thousands of years. A little more.

"Professor Bubbaji, I'm glad you're all right. Do you know where the book about the Triwizard Tournament is kept?" Hermione was more willing to ask Professor Bubbaji than Mrs. Pince.

"If you're looking for content about the Triwizard Tournament, you can look for the bookshelves h-21, h-25, and h-37." Professor Bubaji answered Hermione's question enthusiastically.

As Hermione discovered before, Professor Bubbaji was very familiar with the books in the library. She borrowed what she wanted to read smoothly, and then walked out of the library with Professor Bubbaji.

"Oh, thank you, Professor Bubbaji." After dropping Muggle Studies, Hermione felt a little sorry for the professor who had been very helpful to her. "I'm sorry, Professor, I..."

Professor Bubaji was obviously stunned for a moment, and his body seemed to tense up: "What's wrong?"

"I didn't take your class..."

"Oh, that's it." Professor Bubaji's shoulders relaxed, and she smiled gently: "Of course, you don't need to waste your time and energy on this course. Oh, Professor Moody, Would you like to come to the library to borrow books?"

Hermione was glad that Professor Bubaji said this in advance, otherwise she would have been startled by Professor Moody's sudden appearance. "Hello, Professor Moody."

Moody nodded to Hermione. "I'm just walking around to make sure Hogwarts is as safe as it used to be," he said, taking a sip from the curved bottle he carried with him. "It's hard to be reassuring anywhere these days..."

"I think Hogwarts is quite safe," said Professor Bubaji. "Professor is not as dangerous a job as Auror."

Moody didn't seem to believe it, and nodded perfunctorily. "Well, this is my first time as a professor... I have to slowly adapt to life as a professor..."

The two professors left talking, and Moody had a wooden leg that made a tuk-tuk sound when he walked in the corridor.Hermione stuck out her tongue, relieved.Professor Moody always feels very oppressive, especially his magic eyes that can only turn.In comparison, Professor Bubaji was much more cordial... She flipped through the book and quickly forgot about the professor.

Although Professor Moody looked very scary, his courses were quickly praised by the students of Hogwarts, so that, as Fred said: "He really knows the dark arts!"
