I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 253 True and False Moody

Chapter 253 True and False Moody
After dinner, Louis planned to go to the principal's office first and then take a look in the library.

The first thing to solve is the issue of the real Moody. Secondly, we have to take care of Patchouli. After all, the weak girl is unfamiliar with the place and she needs to be given more care.

But before that, he planned to go to the Gryffindor common room and ask Harry to borrow the Marauder's Map. Harry naturally agreed to Louis' request and readily lent the precious map to Louis.

It’s just a Marauder’s Map for his brothers, but Harry is still very generous.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked Louis what he was going to do, but Louis asked him back: "This is a secret, can you keep it a secret?"

Harry immediately nodded his head like a sewing machine and almost dropped his glasses to the ground.

Louis put the Marauder's Map in his pocket, patted Harry on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I can do it, too."

Then he left the Gryffindor common room in Harry's astonished eyes.

This operation was so cool that Harry immediately exclaimed that he had learned it.

Ron was trying hard to hold back his laughter. Although he was curious about what Louis was going to do with the Marauder's Map, it was obviously more fun to see Harry get humiliated.

After laughing a few times, he was kicked in the butt by Harry.

Louis walked around the castle with the Marauder's Map. As Louis expected, the Alastor Moody in the Marauder's Map was indeed shown as "Barty Crouch Jr."

Little Barty is still in the office, and no one knows what he is doing. He should be training Moody and plucking some hair from him to prepare the Polyjuice Potion.

But it must be said that Snape will have a miserable time this semester. After all, the ingredients for Barty Jr.'s Polyjuice Potion all came from Snape.

Yes, what the Death Eaters did, can it be called stealing? That's called...

Louis took the Marauder's Map just to confirm it. But he couldn't help complaining about Aunt Rowling's lack of rigor in his heart. Theoretically, Harry liked to wander around with the Marauder's Map. He would definitely notice a teacher who didn't match up with him. After all, even Peter Pettigrew, the Animagus, could notice it, so there was no reason why he couldn't see through a wizard disguised with Polyjuice Potion.

I can only say that the Live Map is not the right place for the gods to hide.

"Ziziz honey candy!" Louis recited the password of the principal's office in front of the gargoyle in the principal's office, but the gargoyle did not move at all.

What a disrespect... Louis was a little embarrassed, and mentally he was blaming Dumbledore for changing the password to the principal's office without informing him.

Louis tried several more commands, but got no response. Then he pulled out his wand and tapped the two gargoyles: "Reducto?"

This was not a spell. Louis was not crazy enough to destroy the principal's office. He was simply asking a question.

Get out of the way or be crushed to pieces, this is a serious question.

The gargoyle tactfully made way, and a spiral staircase appeared in front of him.

Why didn't you just listen to me earlier? Why did you have to make me chant some spell? Really... Louis muttered to himself as he lifted his leg and climbed up the stairs.

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were enjoying a cup of tea. The two old men looked very happy, chatting about something, Fawkes was taking a nap on his bird pole, and the Sorting Hat seemed to be taking a nap as well, not noticing that the little devil Louis had walked in.

Seeing Louis, Dumbledore looked up and asked with a smile, "Oh, you are free today, so you want to come to my office and sit down?"

"I have something important to talk to you about." Louis was not polite and sat on the other side of the table.

Dumbledore put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Let's not talk about things now. Would you like some tea? One cup?"

As he spoke, Dumbledore poured Louis half a cup of black tea, took out a honey jar, and added half a cup of honey to it in front of Louis.

Louis' eyelids twitched as he watched. My goodness, Principal, aren't you afraid of getting diabetes by drinking like this?

But our headmaster obviously didn't care much about these details. He handed the teacup to Louis and signaled that he could enjoy it.

"I have had cavities recently, Headmaster." Louis found a tactful reason to refuse Dumbledore's cup of tea.

"Well, then you are really unlucky." Dumbledore spread his hands and said with a little regret.

Louis looked at Dumbledore speechlessly, thinking that this kind of blessing was not what he wanted.

Grindelwald beside him chuckled but said nothing. He then watched him secretly use magic to separate the honey from his tea and then drink it all in one gulp.

It seems that he is also a person who doesn't like adding sugar.

It’s okay, as long as you don’t chew coffee dry without sugar - but judging by what this grandfather has done, he is much more awesome than Gao Qiqiang.

Humph, Europe does not allow such a powerful person to exist!
"It's like this, Headmaster Dumbledore." Louis put the teacup aside and started talking about business - mainly because he felt it was easy to argue about the honey tea - he glanced at Dumbledore and continued, "Who was that Mad-Eye guy at the freshman dinner yesterday?"

"Are you talking about Alastor Moody?" Dumbledore glanced at Louis and smiled: "One of ours."

The meaning of Dumbledore's words is very straightforward. The deeper meaning of "our people" is "reliable people."

"Is he really one of ours?" Louis looked at Dumbledore with a half-smile.

Dumbledore nodded, then frowned and asked, "Why, did he offend you? Well, maybe he is crazy and has a weird temper sometimes, but he is actually a reliable person." Then Dumbledore was worried and warned, "He doesn't have many missing limbs anymore. Listen to my advice, don't hit him too hard, just beat him half to death..."

Louis looked at Dumbledore with a dark face: "Who do you take me for, Professor? Do you think I am Grindelwald?"

Grindelwald was drinking tea happily. When he heard Louis calling his name, he almost choked. He instantly turned into Nurmengard Big Flower and sprayed all over the table.

"Why do you involve me? I'm warning you, Louis, I'm not like you who beats anyone who offends you half to death for no reason..." Grindelwald defended himself with a bad look, but his words sounded a little lacking in confidence.

"Yes, you definitely won't beat someone half to death." Louis complained mercilessly: "Principal Dumbledore told me that you like to use Fiendfyre the most..."

Grindelwald coughed twice, then sat aside and said nothing more.

Louis did not press on the opportunity, but looked at Dumbledore seriously: "You are wrong, Professor, Mr. Moody did not offend me, someone else offended me."

"Oh? Who is it?" Dumbledore asked with some interest. As for why he was interested, it was really... No one had dared to offend Louis for three years. He really wanted to know who was the old man who took arsenic - because he thought he had lived too long.

To be cautious, he asked again: "Not a student of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang?"

"Of course not, he's from Hogwarts." Louis said with a smile, "I think you must know him. You met his father during the Quidditch World Cup in the summer."

"Oh?" Dumbledore's interest was piqued. He broke off a piece of chocolate bar and took a bite. He said slowly, "Now I am somewhat interested in who this person could be..."

"Barty Crouch Jr." Louis calmly said the name of a person that made Dumbledore's expression change slightly.

"Barty Crouch Jr." Dumbledore repeated, then shook his head and said with a smile: "How is that possible? Barty Crouch Jr. has died in Azkaban..."

"Are you so sure?" Louis asked with a smile.

Dumbledore sat up straight, looked at Louis, chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, this is an old story. You were very young then..."

"Barty Crouch Jr. was once a Death Eater, accused of torturing the Longbottoms, yes, Neville's parents..." Dumbledore's face flashed with a look of reminiscence, "This incident was also the ultimate reason why Fudge took over. Originally, Barty Crouch Sr. was a hot candidate for the Minister of Magic, but ever since this incident... Alas."

"Almost in the blink of an eye, his wife died, his son was accused and imprisoned in Azkaban, and died soon after. The family's reputation was ruined, and people began to sympathize more with his son, wondering why such a boy from a prominent family would become a Death Eater. Finally, they concluded that as a father, he never cared about his son. In this way, Fudge took the top chair and Crouch was transferred to the Department of International Magical Cooperation." Dumbledore shrugged, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

This matter was not a secret, and it could be said that everyone in the magic world knew about this little thing in the Crouch family. Old Crouch was a person who had a strong desire to be an official. It was a small matter for his useless son to do such a heinous thing, but it was unforgivable for it to affect his career.

Louis sighed, he looked up at Dumbledore and said, "Principal, what you don't know is that due to Barty Crouch Jr.'s imprisonment, his mother, Mrs. Crouch's health has deteriorated sharply. It is well known that Barty Crouch Sr. has a high position in the Ministry of Magic, so Mrs. Crouch asked him to take her to visit her children."

"She persuaded old Barty to take the Polyjuice Potion herself, replaced Barty the Younger, and smuggled her eldest son out of Azkaban. Not long after, she died due to the worsening of her illness, and was buried outside the castle as Barty Crouch the Younger." Louis sighed, "That's the story of that year."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "From what you said, there is a follow-up to this matter?"

"You are worthy of being my good headmaster." Louis took out the Marauder's Map with a smile: "Of course, in order to make you believe what I just said, I specially brought you the Marauder's Map - the map that Harry used to find Peter Pettigrew."

"Oh, I know this map." Dumbledore shook his beard: "I even contributed a lot when James and his team made this map."

"Really?" Louis raised his eyebrows, thinking that the principal is really not doing his job properly...

"If it's this map, then it's correct." Dumbledore picked up the map and looked carefully. Sure enough, he found the figure of Barty Crouch Jr. on the map.

He paused for a moment, then immediately remembered that that should be Moody's position.

"You know why I mentioned Alastor Moody?" Louis spread his hands. "Obviously, I found out through this Marauder's Map that he used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Moody."

"If my guess is correct, Headmaster," Louis continued, "what happened in the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation must be related to Barty Crouch Jr. Think about it, we only found Winky, the house-elf of Crouch's family, at the scene of the incident..."

"This means that at least Barty Crouch knew about this." Dumbledore nodded slightly and raised another question: "What I can't understand is why old Barty pretended to be confused and why he protected his son. Logically, he should hate him very much. Besides, with his personality, keeping Barty Crouch Jr. under house arrest is already the limit. He will never do anything to protect Barty Jr. after he summoned the Dark Mark..."

"Mr. Crouch was very abnormal that night." Louis said meaningfully: "Just think about how he behaved that night..."

Dumbledore recalled it carefully and said, "Yes, it is very abnormal. You mean... he was under the Imperius Curse?"

"Yes!" Louis nodded with a smile. "I suspect this matter is related to Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew who escaped from Azkaban. It must be related to both of them. Voldemort needs someone who is not in Azkaban, who is a little smart and loyal to him to do things for him. Undoubtedly, Barty Crouch Jr. is absolutely his candidate."

Dumbledore nodded and looked back at the Marauder's Map.

The little dot representing Barty Crouch Jr. was moving outwards.

"What is he going to do?" asked Dumbledore, frowning.

Louis spread his hands: "Maybe there is something wrong, I think we should follow and take a look."

Then, Dumbledore suddenly saw a small dot representing Barty Crouch Sr. appear on the Marauder's Map.

"Old Barty? What is he doing here?" Dumbledore asked with a frown, "Isn't he under the Imperius Curse? How can he still come to Hogwarts..."

Louis suddenly said, "Not good, let's go quickly, old Barty must have broken free from the Imperius Curse and wants to report this to you, he is in danger!"
