Chapter 177 Two People Found
"It looks like... Mr. Crouch is going back to Professor Moody's office..."
Draco whispered, his tone full of suspicion.
Harry could clearly feel that as the two of them moved forward, Draco's doubts were growing deeper and deeper.
"But why? It makes more sense if it's the other way around."
As Draco muttered to himself, the two of them only needed to turn a few more corners.
You will come to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.
"Indeed."
"If it was Mr. Crouch sitting there motionless in Professor Moody's office,"
"And if Professor Moody went to Snape and brought something back..."
Harry pondered along with Draco.
Mr. Crouch, who was supposed to be recuperating from his illness, suddenly appeared on campus and even broke into the office at night.
Such abnormal behavior made him a little confused.
"Shh!"
Draco suddenly grabbed Harry and hid in the corner of the staircase leading downstairs.
Silently speaking with lips.
"he came."
Harry could indeed hear someone coming up the stairs.
But as the footsteps got closer, Harry's confusion grew deeper.
Looking at Draco, he noticed that her pretty brows were furrowed.
Echoing in the corridor was the thumping sound of a wooden stick hitting the stone surface, the sound of Moody's footsteps.
Harry stared at the hall in a trance, but Draco quickly lowered his head to look at the Marauder's Map.
The dot next to them clearly marked the name "Barty Crouch".
Draco pursed his lips tightly and looked at Harry.
Although she didn't see the map in Draco's hand, he seemed to understand Draco's thoughts instantly.
Harry shook his head, speaking silently.
"The Marauder's Map doesn't lie."
Just as Draco closed his eyes and thought, a scary voice came from the hallway.
"Come out of your cloak. It's of no use to me."
-
Hearing Moody's words, Draco and Harry looked at each other and instantly let go of each other's hands.
As Harry lifted his cloak, Draco glanced quickly at the map.
Again, Moody's dot is still in the office.
Just like an hour ago, not moving at all.
This caused her to cautiously reach her hand into her robes and grasp her wand.
Harry also subconsciously stood in front of Draco.
But he did this not necessarily because he thought Moody was dangerous.
It seems more like he is worried that Moody will make another extreme punishment.
When Moody saw the two of them, he just grinned and laughed strangely.
"Dumbledore is right. Youth is beautiful."
"That's great, Malfoy, Potter. That's great."
For some reason, he looked very happy.
Mad-Eye glanced alternately at the map in Draco's hand and the golden egg in Harry's arms.
"Any clues? The second level?"
Moody looked at Harry with concern.
After Harry nodded, he smiled approvingly, then turned to Draco.
"I should be apologizing for last term, Malfoy. Damn old Auror habit."
"I wish I had known you and Potter were so close."
Moody said as he hit himself hard on the head.
He laughed strangely again, and Crazy-Eyes Han Han still locked onto the Marauder's Map.
"That map looks interesting, can you lend it to me?"
Draco looked at Harry uncertainly, and Harry nodded slowly.
He knew there was no choice but to refuse. He took the map from Draco and handed it to Moody.
The experienced Auror breathed a sigh of relief.
“This map…!”
He stared intently, his magic eye moving anxiously and at high speed.
When he spoke again, surprisingly, he seemed a little panicked.
"You guys, did you see anything?"
Before Harry could say anything, Moody quickly repeated his question.
Only this time, the tone was much calmer.
"Or, that's what I should ask."
"You saw something that made you decide to come to my office, right?"
Harry opened and closed his mouth at Moody's question, unsure whether to answer honestly.
There was something a little strange about the map, and he was still a little concerned about Moody.
Although Moody helped him a lot during the game.
But Moody's rash act of punishing Draco severely still remained in his mind.
He moved further to the side, completely blocking Draco behind him.
He turned his head slightly, trying to comfort her with his eyes. She was trembling slightly and clutching the back of her robe.
Draco, who had been just looking at Moody quietly, also shifted his gaze.
Those clear eyes seemed to convey some message.
He couldn't tell why, but the look in her eyes made Harry hear Sirius' voice in his ears -
"Always be alert."
Harry made a quick decision.
It would be too suspicious to lie to Moody and tell him that they saw nothing.
But if you tell everything, you may run into some risks.
In particular, the current situation is somewhat strange.
It's always good to be more vigilant.
"Uh...we saw Mr. Crouch go to Professor Snape's office..."
"Crouch? Showing up at school? That's very, very interesting."
"So you followed Crouch all the way to find him, but you met me. Is that right?"
As Moody spoke, his normal eye suddenly widened.
The whites of his eyes were bloodshot and his eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.
He added in a slow tone.
"Or do you think I am Crouch?"
This made Harry, who was originally standing in front of Draco, take two steps towards Moody out of instinct.
Draco suddenly tensed up and was about to draw his wand.
Fortunately, the next second, a lazy tone that both of them were very familiar with came from behind.
"If I heard correctly, Potter just said that someone broke into my office?"
Harry unexpectedly found that he was relaxed by this voice.
Draco, who was gently holding onto Harry's robes on the back, also loosened his grip.
Snape's dark figure slowly walked out from the corner.
-
"What? You can't sleep either, you wanna have a pajama party?"
Moody greeted Snape, not in a friendly tone.
Harry was surprised to find that Snape did not dodge like he had done last semester.
He first stared at himself coldly for a long time.
(This makes Harry very uncomfortable, and he glares back at him angrily.)
Then, he turned his gaze and looked at Draco.
Take her behind you.
As Snape did this, Moody limped forward.
He stood between Harry and Snape, as if he was demonstrating to Snape...
Once things return to normal, the price will plummet again. I hope those who can afford it will not raise it!
Also, regarding gifts, please ...
It's still the same plan to add more chapters! I'll add more chapters if there are enough gifts!
