Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?
Chapter 93 Confrontation with Moody
Ten minutes later, Krum and Fleur surfaced one after the other, having successfully completed their mission.
Since no other unexpected events occurred, the order was as follows: Kevin first, Harry second, Krum third, and Fleur fourth.
This ranking order determines the order in which participants enter the next competition.
Kevin once again won the competition with an overwhelming advantage, and Harry also came in second place, which made the Hogwarts students extremely proud and cheered.
Thus, the second competition came to a peaceful conclusion, and the third competition will not begin until June, closer to the end of the semester.
Everyone returned to the shore one after another. When Kevin and the others got back to the shore, they found that Old Barty was already waiting there.
"Congratulations Porter and Kevin, it was a very nice win."
Old Barty said to Kevin and Harry in a friendly manner.
Although Harry didn't know why Barty had suddenly come to congratulate him, he still smiled politely.
Old Barty mainly wanted to talk to the famous Harry Potter.
Kevin also recalled that old Barty would die in the Forbidden Forest soon.
The movie makes no mention of why, leaving Kevin clueless about the reason.
But who is the biggest suspect at Hogwarts right now, besides his son Barty Jr., also known as the fake Moody?
But why kill old Bati? Was it because old Bati himself sent his son to prison?
Doesn't this increase the risk of his exposure?
Kevin glanced around and spotted the fake Moody standing behind a tree, secretly observing them.
The fake Moody noticed Kevin's gaze, narrowed his eyes, and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Barty was still chatting with Harry. When the topic turned to the passing of loved ones, he gave Harry some words of encouragement, reminding him that life must go on.
Since there was no fake Moody involved, Barty and Harry chatted for quite a while.
Harry and the others were getting a little overwhelmed; Old Barty kept talking, but suddenly, he stopped.
As if remembering something important, he hurriedly said goodbye to the group.
"What's wrong with him?" Harry asked, puzzled, as he watched Old Barty, who had been talking so enthusiastically, suddenly leave in a hurry.
"Who cares? He's finally gone. He was more nagging than my mother," Ron said, showing no concern whatsoever.
"Where's Kevin?"
Hermione was the first to notice that Kevin was missing; he had been standing next to the group.
"I don't know, he seemed to have been standing here just now."
Neither Harry nor Ron noticed Kevin.
At that moment, Hermione's bracelet lit up, pointing in the direction Barty had left.
After the match, Kevin got his bracelet back, so Hermione can use it to find Kevin.
Through the bracelet, Hermione seemed to sense Kevin's emotions, as if something was wrong.
Hermione immediately chased after him. Kevin rarely left her without a word, and if he did, it meant he didn't want her to get involved.
Those who don't want her involved are usually not doing anything good.
Harry and Ron exchanged a glance and followed.
Meanwhile, Kevin used the Disillusionment Charm and the Silent Charm to quietly follow Barty not far behind.
Old Barty's behavior didn't seem unusual, except that his steps were a little hurried.
Nothing else happened in between.
Barty walked out of Hogwarts' perimeter, with Kevin following him, until Barty Apparated and disappeared with a "snap".
Kevin also lost track of Barty.
He speculated that Old Barty might have been controlled by the Soul-Stealing Curse, but he didn't know when, why, or who controlled him.
That movie was really unclear; it didn't explain how Little Bati escaped from Azkaban.
Just as Kevin was deep in thought, he heard footsteps behind him.
Kevin turned around and saw Moody walking towards him step by step, leaning on his cane.
His demonic eyes seemed to see through his illusion spell, staring intently at Kevin.
He stared at Kevin like a snake, licked his lips, and said, "Assistant Instructor Kevin, a champion of Hogwarts, why aren't you at the celebration or preparing your lessons? What are you doing outside Hogwarts?"
Kevin also voluntarily released the Disillusionment Charm and looked at Moody: "Professor Moody, I found a suspicious person, so I followed him to check it out, but I lost him."
"But why do I feel like you're the one who's suspicious?" Moody said, staring at Kevin.
"And what about Professor Moody? He followed me all the way and always liked to secretly observe me. Your behavior is also very suspicious."
Kevin ignored Moody's question and instead asked Moody a question in return.
"Heh, Albus told me to keep an eye on you and Harry, so you don't get targeted and end up not even knowing how you died."
Moody approached Kevin step by step, leaning on his cane, his words filled with intimidation.
"Professor Moody, are you feeling unwell?"
Kevin stared at Moody, his face twitching.
Moody realized something, and casually took out the water bottle from his pocket and took a sip.
He shook his head and regained his composure.
Kevin took a deep breath: "It smells familiar, like some kind of potion. What did you drink?"
Kevin didn't explicitly say that the taste in the kettle was a compound decoction, and he didn't actually intend to expose the fake Moody right now.
I just wanted to put some pressure on him and see if he would slip up.
Moody raised his eyes and stared intently at Kevin, saying, "I think it's because Assistant Kevin often concocts various potions that he has this feeling from time to time."
"That makes sense, but I feel that Professor Moody, your potion-making skills must be quite high as well. You have many familiar scents on you."
"For example, lacewings, African tree snake skin..."
Kevin looked into Moody's eyes and spoke calmly, not at all intimidated by his gaze.
He read out the ingredients needed for the compound decoction, almost pronouncing the name of the decoction, but Moody still showed no sign of guilt.
Instead, they became even more insane.
"Mr. Kevin, although you are indeed a genius that comes along once in a century, you still don't understand me or those dangerous individuals."
"I've killed more Death Eaters than you've taken classes. I infiltrated their ranks by disguising myself as them, in Paris, London, and all of Europe! Every time it was a near-death experience, and potions are just the basics for me."
Moody used his own story to explain why he smelled like compound herbal medicine.
That makes perfect sense; use a compound decoction to disguise yourself as an enemy and infiltrate their camp...
Kevin had an idea.
"It seems Professor Moody is quite familiar with compound decoctions. I happen to have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Ha, what kind of question doesn't even Potions Master Kevin's assistant know?" Moody sneered.
"This problem is very simple..."
As Kevin was speaking, he suddenly reached out and plucked a small tuft of hair from Moody's head without warning, so fast that Moody didn't even have time to react.
Just as he realized what was happening and was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, Kevin grabbed his shoulder.
"The question is, if the enemy uses Polyjuice Potion to transform into Professor Moody, and I then pluck your hair to make Polyjuice Potion, will I become Professor Moody, or will I become the enemy before the transformation?"
Upon hearing Kevin's soul-searching question, Moody, who had been furious, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he was trying his best to suppress some emotion. His knuckles, gripping his cane, turned white from excessive force.
"That's a good question... Mr. Kevin, but the answer is obvious: you will become like me, because once the enemy becomes me, his hair will become my hair."
Finally, Professor Moody managed to suppress his emotions and spoke slowly.
"Is that so? Thank you for your guidance. It's a pity that I haven't had any materials for the compound decoction recently. Professor Snape's materials were stolen, so I don't think I can conduct the experiment."
Kevin sighed, as if he were very regretful.
Then Kevin took out the hair he had just plucked from Moody's head, waved it in front of Moody's eyes, and put it in the pocket of Moody's clothes.
Finally, he patted the pocket, smiled at Moody, and turned to leave.
Watching Kevin walk further and further away, back into Hogwarts.
Moody's eyes grew increasingly dangerous as he slowly pulled the tuft of hair from his pocket.
The slightly gray hair slowly turned yellow under the sunlight.
Back at Hogwarts, Kevin casually pulled a few thin, yellow hairs from under his fingernails as he walked back...
