Chapter 575: Moody: Are You Doubting Me?

Unfortunately, Ivan was disappointed to find that there was nothing there.

"You're watching me? Why? Moody was keenly aware of Ivan's gaze, and suddenly turned his head, his blue magic eye staring at him.

Ivan's expression was over, he didn't expect Moody's senses to be so sensitive.

However, after a short pause, Ivan reacted, looked apologetic, and opened his mouth to explain. "Please forgive me, Professor! I think you're also aware of rumors about the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor..."

"You mean that legend? Every year the wizard who takes the position of a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts class is in bad luck? Moody asked.

"I don't think it's just a rumor, the previous professors have unfortunately come true, no one can teach for more than a year!" Ivan spoke eloquently, flattering him in passing, "But I think a legendary Auror like you might be able to break this curse!" ”

"Stop flattering me, boy!"

Moody sneered and waved his hand, not taking this set, he bent down, and the strange blue magic eye stared at Ivan, saying word by word. "I guess that's not what you're really trying to say! The look in your eyes told me you were suspicious of me, right? ”

"How do you think so? Professor? Moody's words were once again beyond Ivan's expectations, and he said with a frown.

"I've done my homework before I came, boy!" Moody grinned, the crutch he was clutching in his right hand pausing heavily on the floor.

"I have to say that Albus did have some lack of consideration when choosing people... The Defence Against the Dark Arts professors in previous years were very special, one was a dark wizard, a liar with little skills, and a... Werewolf! I've heard that you've all found them out, so it's normal for you to suspect me..."

When it came to Lupin's identity, Moody kept his voice low to make sure that only Ivan could hear him.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all surprised, not quite understanding how Moody knew about Professor Lupin's identity.

Ivan wasn't surprised, Moody and Lupin were both members of the Order of the Phoenix, so it was normal for them to know each other.

The only thing that surprised him was that Moody directly picked out his suspicions, which made Ivan somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ivan's face is very thick-skinned, even if he is exposed to his face, he can't see any change on his face, and he said with admiration.

"The Professor is a legend in the Auror world, and it seems that he can't hide anything from you! I apologize to the professor for the offense before! ”

"Hey, this flattery is a bit sincere!" Moody scoffed, then continued. "And you don't have to apologize to me for that! It's a good habit to be vigilant at all times! ”

"I know how it feels, Hals!" Moody lowered his head, his face suddenly became nervous, "I've captured too many Death Eaters in my life, and many fleeing dark wizards regard me as a thorn in their side, and they will definitely do whatever it takes to get rid of me if they have the chance!" ”

"So I have to do it every time..."

As he spoke, Moody picked up a piece of doughnut on the table, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then took out the silver knife in his arms and poked it a few times to confirm that it was not poisonous, and finally threw it into his mouth with confidence.

"Well, these desserts look okay... I've got to bring some back to eat! Moody smacked his mouth and muttered.

Ivan looked at Moody's neurotic cautious behavior, and immediately was a little speechless, isn't he afraid of splitting his nerves when he lives so worried about fear all day long?

Moody didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior, he had already made it a habit to be cautious, and after swallowing the doughnut, he spoke again.

"I read that issue of the newspaper a few months ago, and I have to say that your debate in the trial room was wonderful, Hals! If Dumbledore hadn't told me some of your stories, I wouldn't have believed that a young wizard could have so many legendary experiences..."

"I dare say you'll be the best Auror you've ever been on to the Ministry of Magic after graduation!"

Moody looked at Ivan with no hint of appreciation.

"If I have the chance, I'll consider it!" Ivan shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally,

"Really?" Moody heard the perfunctory expression of Ivan's words, and his face showed a little disappointment, but he didn't persuade again, he took a plate and forked some desserts on the table, and didn't forget to turn his head to remind him before leaving.

"Remember to always be vigilant, boy!"

Looking at Moody's distant back, Ivan's doubts in his heart were dissipated a lot, no matter from the point of view of speech and demeanor or sensitivity, the other party was the real Moody.

"Looks like we're going to have a great Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year, just like last year!" Harry said with emotion.

"He's a true Dark Arts Defense Master, a legendary Auror of the wizarding world!" Hermione nodded in agreement.

Then the little witch looked at Ivan again, and continued. "I think Professor Moody is right, Ivan you are a good fit to be an Auror, if I become Minister of Magic, how about I hire you as Executive Director?"

"Wait, Hermione, aren't you preparing to liberate the house-elves lately? Why did you get to the Minister of Magic again? Ron asked in a strange voice.

"It's not a conflict, is it? Only by becoming the Minister of Magic can you truly change the discrimination that wizards have against house-elves! I'm going to go out into the kitchen and ask the house-elves what they think..."Hermione swore an oath, even thinking about what roles to assign to Harry and Ron.

However, the two of them simply ignored Hermione's whimsical rhetoric, how could the Minister of Magic be so easy to be.

Ivan was secretly glad that his words last night had some effect, at least in the near future, he didn't have to worry about Hermione taking out the "vomit" badge and forcing them to wear it.

With this in mind, Ivan set his sights on the unfinished Daily Prophet.

In addition to the photo of the Death Eaters attacking the camp on the front page, Ivan also saw Sirius being captured by several Aurors below.

"Sirius is too reckless, the Quidditch pitch is so chaotic, he should stay where he is to protect you!" Ivan shook his head and couldn't help but speak.

"I think Sirius must have believed that we could protect ourselves!" Harry spoke in defense of his godfather.

Ivan rolled his eyes, they were lucky at best, if they really bumped into the hordes of Death Eaters, with the little "self-defense magic" they had learned in the past few years, what was the difference between them and nothing?

However, Ivan also knew how much Sirius hated the Death Eaters, and in terms of his character, it was normal for him to rush to the camp outside the World Cup arena when he saw the Death Eaters boldly appear on the camp outside the World Cup arena, wantonly setting fire to and abusing Muggles...
