Ta-ta-ta,
There was a sound of iron plates rubbing against the ground in the shadows. Professor Moody walked out of the shadows with his cane on his hands. Under the light, a pair of eyes looked cold and solemn, which was completely opposite to the enthusiasm just now.
Hermione was startled when she saw Hu Xiuwu looking over her and behind her, calling Professor Moody's name again, but now she didn't dare to hide towards Hu Xiuwu, so she could only retreat to one side in panic.
"Professor Moody!"
Moody, leaning on a cane, was not surprised by their arrival: "You are too slow."
Hu Xiuwu said: "I always have to find an excuse. If you informed me in advance, you wouldn't have to go to such trouble."
At the dance, Moody's magic eye, which could see through invisibility and perspective, always glanced at Hu Xiuwu.
But after the previous fight, Moody had already discovered that the reason why his sneak attack failed was because Hu Xiuwu had keen senses and could detect the gaze of the magic eye.
But he still did it, clearly trying to seduce him, so while dancing with Hermione, Hu Xiuwu glanced at the source of the magic eye with his peripheral vision, only to find Moody quietly leaving the side door of the auditorium.
Before leaving, he looked at Hu Xiuwu meaningfully.
Therefore, Hu Xiuwu took the opportunity to drag Hermione over.
"I didn't plan to invite you originally."
Moody's tone was dull and his words were haphazard, but Hu Xiuwu understood instantly and glanced sideways at the confused and helpless Hermione beside him.
Sure enough, is it because of Hermione?
"Let's go, time is running out, there isn't much time left for the dance, let's talk on the way."
Moody turned and left, leaving only Hu Xiuwu and Hermione.
Hu Xiuwu smiled and said: "How about it, are you interested in joining an adventure?"
It turned out that it was really an adventure, not the kind of adventure she thought. Hermione, Hermione, what are you thinking about.
The villain in Hermione's heart was so ashamed that she kept slapping her cheeks, causing Hermione's face outside to turn crimson:
"Okay, okay."
Although she was still a little shy, Hermione still held up the hem of her skirt and followed Hu Xiuwu and Moody.
As a Gryffindor student, how could he refuse an invitation to adventure?
Hu Xiuwu patted Hermione on the shoulder. Starting from Hermione's shoulder, the dress on her body changed into jeans that were more suitable for movement, a small vest, and even the small dress shoes under her feet turned into leather boots.
The fairy Cinderella met at midnight became a fairy, so she changed from a gorgeous princess to a brave and energetic beautiful girl explorer.
"Thanks,"
Hermione spun around in a circle. As a Western girl, although she was only fourteen years old, she still had a curvy figure. Even Hu Xiuwu admitted that when Chen Duo was fourteen, her appearance was as good as Hermione's, but her figure was Far inferior to Hermione, Westerners are indeed unique in this regard.
"But isn't this a little too formal? Where are we going?"
It feels like this outfit is worn for jungle adventures. Are you going to the Forbidden Forest?
Hermione tugged at her tight-fitting vest and curiously guessed,
"Ahem, I don't know either. Let's let Professor Moody explain."
Hu Xiuwu coughed and was too embarrassed to say that it was just because of his own bad taste that he imitated a certain countess who was suspected of being a turbulent fate and gave Hermione a suit. Who impressed him that she could wear anything except Chen Duo? Uniform, this is the only one suitable for sports.
Needless to say, the stubborn and brave Hermione does look like Lord Crawford when she wears this outfit.
Walking in the silent corridor, Moody revealed his plan.
Even after Harry's name was spit out by the Goblet of Fire, he has been secretly investigating the truth, but has gained little, and the Yule Ball is an excellent opportunity.
No matter which party they are from, people will be there, taking this opportunity to search for the suspect he most suspects.
After listening to Moody's explanation, Hu Xiuwu said, "You suspect that the principal of Durmstrang put Harry's name into the list."
"Ingor Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was a Death Eater.
I was the one who captured him in Azkaban,"
"He has a prior record, coupled with the circumstances surrounding the day he entered the auditorium."
"The auditorium?" Hu Xiuwu recalled the situation that day, "Is it the time when there was sudden lightning and thunder on the starry sky dome of the auditorium?"
"Ah!" Hermione suddenly screamed, thinking of the records in the book, "I remembered, "Hogwarts, a school history records that the starry sky dome of Hogwarts can identify people entering the auditorium. Is there hostility towards Hogwarts, so once a hostile person enters the Great Hall, there will be lightning and thunder in the dome?"
Moody praised: "That's right, but it's a pity that this was a classroom, otherwise I would have given you extra points, Miss Granger."
"That's right, as long as someone who is hostile to Hogwarts enters the auditorium, the stars in the auditorium will thunder and lightning to alert the staff."
"Karkaroff was hostile to Hogwarts, and then someone threw Harry Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire. There are such coincidences in the world."
Although Hermione was very unhappy with the way Harry and Ron treated her before, they were still her most important friends. Hermione said anxiously:
"Then why don't we ask Harry to come over?"
Moody explained: "Since Harry is the target of the conspiracy, he is also the focus of the people hiding in the shadows. Moreover, he is also the hero who attracts everyone's attention at the ball. If he leaves midway, he will definitely be hidden in the shadows." discovered by the conspirators.”
"No matter how careful I am, there is still a risk of being exposed later. If I get too close to Harry, if I arouse their suspicion and worry that Harry will know the truth and take risks, Harry will be in danger."
"But Harry needs to know the truth, so I need you to tell Harry what happened."
Moody plans to search Karkaroff today. Regardless of whether Karkaroff is the real murderer or not, he will pretend to pursue it to the end and lure the people behind the scenes to silence him.
If he could fight back, everyone would be happy. If he failed, someone would need to help Harry eliminate certain suspects.
As the messenger in the middle, the first person Moody looked at was actually Ron.
Ron was in his prime, his parents were old acquaintances of Moody, and his brothers were all good people, so Moody believed in his character. In addition, Ron and Harry were in the same dormitory, which made it easier to communicate.
But Ron was immersed in the ball, trying to talk to Fleur, and always pretending to be nonchalant and glancing at the radiant Hermione. He was so busy that he didn't notice him at all.
Moody had a headache at first, how to take him away quietly, but following Ron's gaze, he noticed Hermione and Hu Xiuwu.
Ron can't do it, so can Hermione.
She was also Harry's friend and could help spread the message. With Hu Xiuwu beside her, he didn't have to worry about how to lure them out. In addition, the Oriental was also the one with the least suspicion. Even if Hu Xiuwu knew about his For the purpose, he could also induce Hu Xiuwu and use a reward that he could not refuse to keep it secret.
After changing the target, things became simpler. Moody only needed to stare at Hu Xiuwu, and Hu Xiuwu would naturally accept his hint.
This is the simplest, most direct, and most covert method, but it just tests Hu Xiuwu's understanding to see if he can understand Moody's hint.
Fortunately, Hu Xiuwu realized his hint in the end and took Hermione away in an ambiguous way without arousing suspicion from others.
Moody went out early just now, and he didn't just wait for Hu Xiuwu and Hermione. He also took the time to go to the Gryffindor common room and used the Flying Charm to transfer Hermione's wand, which was stored in the girls' dormitory. Summoned.
How could a wizard go on an adventure without a wand? Hermione excitedly took her wand.
Not only that, Moody also prepared two broomsticks and hid them in the grass. Although there was an extra Hu Xiuwu on this trip, fortunately, Hu Xiuwu didn't have to worry about them.
Hermione and Moody skillfully stepped onto the broom, kicked off their feet, and rose up from the ground. A thin line flew out beside Hu Xiuwu. The thin line gradually expanded into a brocade snake, and the moonlight was scattered on it, like an ancient cloud brocade. As bright as the morning glow, the brocade pattern is gorgeous.
When carrying Hu Xiuwu into the sky, Hu Xiuwu was like an immortal carrying a colorful cloud.
Hu Xiuwu lamented: Yutama Kyoko's flying is becoming more and more standard, but Yutama Kyoko's strength is not enough.
Time was tight, and the three of them flew to the shore of the Black Lake. The three-masted sailboat of Durmstrang Magic School stayed on the pier beside the Black Lake.
The entire ship is like a fat crescent moon after the age of fifteen. The bridge at the stern does not resemble the shape of a ship at all. It looks like a miniature castle forcibly connected to the ship, which does not match the style of a sailing ship at all.
Without magical power, such a mechanically unbalanced ship would be blown over by a strong wind at sea. Oh, by the way, this ship is a diving ship. It is meant to dive into the bottom of the water and is not afraid of strong winds at all.
The hull is not very in line with engineering mechanics, but there is no denying that this ship is indeed as beautiful as Peter Pan’s little spaceship in the fairy tale.
However, beneath the surface of the fairy tale dream is a cruel reality.
"Be careful. Durmstrang teaches students black magic. There will definitely be traps and protection measures inside."
After Moody's explanation just now, Hermione felt that she had a heavy responsibility. After hearing Moody's instructions, she nodded solemnly. She was not Harry and Ron. She did not listen to others' advice and was always reckless and arrogant. .
Moody waved his wand, lowering the gangway on the side of the ship, and then walked up immediately. Hu Xiuwu ordered Hermione to walk in front, and he followed behind. Hermione's task was to act as an eye, and she was not needed to fight.
