What, am I mistaken? The night before the first game, if you didn't come to follow me, what were you doing in the middle of the night? Moody asked strangely, taking Ivan's reaction in his eyes.

"I think you're mistaken, Professor Moody, I received a message from Hagrid that day, so I went with Harry to see the dragon in the Forbidden Forest in the evening." Ivan shrugged his shoulders and explained.

Ivan also remembered what happened that night, after returning from the Forbidden Forest, he was about to go to the kitchen for a supper, and then accidentally ran into Moody there.

"No wonder..."Moody muttered to himself, when they first met, he felt that Ivan's reaction was a little strange, but it was only after Ivan kept pestering him to ask all kinds of questions, which made him more and more sure that Ivan came out to follow him at night.

"By the way, Professor, were you really chasing Karkaroff that night?" Ivan asked suddenly.

"Of course not, you should be able to think of the specific reason, you don't need me to explain it, right?" Moody shook his head and said in a deep voice.

He went to the kitchen that night to prepare a meal for Barty Crouch Jr., only to notice that Ivan was suspicious of himself and happened to see Karkaroff with his magic eye, so he simply took advantage of it.

Ivan also thought of this, and was immediately speechless, and after a long time, everyone misunderstood that night!

The two of them guessed like words in a fog, and Dumbledore on the side also looked at the two curiously, and asked.

"Alasto... Hals, it seems that something interesting happened the other day, is it convenient to say more clearly? ”

Moody's didn't mean to hide it, even after explaining the whole story in general, and then continued.

"Anyway, I told Barty Crouch Jr. about this, and he was as mistaken as I was for some crucial clue that Hals was tracking us, so he ordered me to direct your attention to Crouch to dispel your suspicions of me."

"Isn't he worried then that I'll find more leads from Mr. Crouch?" Ivan touched his chin and said with a deep groan.

"Little Barty didn't expect you to be so capable, he thought you wouldn't be able to find out anything." Moody rolled his eyes, "Know that his father, Barty Crouch, is not an easy character to deal with, and Barty Jr. is counting on this to pull your energy, so let me play a detective game with you." ”

"It's best to wait until the time is right to lend your hand to send his father to Azkaban!" Moody's added.

Having "worked" with Barty Crouch Jr. for more than half a year, he knew how much Barty Jr. hated his father so much that he wanted to retaliate and let Crouch experience what it was like to be in Azkaban with Dementors.

Listening to Moody's story, Ivan was surprised, he didn't expect little Barty to have so many calculations in secret.

If it weren't for the fact that he opened the plot hanging, he always felt that Moody had a problem, and with the help of the live point map, maybe he would really be played around.

In a sense, Barty Crouch Jr. died a very aggrieved death.

"What a good idea... When Barty Jr. came to Hogwarts, I didn't see that he had a talent for plotting. Dumbledore said with interest.

"yes, he did have two hits." Moody also nodded, Barty Jr.'s various plans can be said to be counted in one fell swoop, but unfortunately he ran into a monster, and all his plans failed.

It only took Ivan ten minutes to easily dig up Crouch's secret, and Dumbledore did not twist Crouch into Azkaban as Barty Jr. imagined.

"You can't guess how angry Barty Jr. was when he found out about it......" Moody said mockingly, recalling the scene.

"No, I think we've all felt the intensity of this anger tonight," Ivan spat as he looked at the mangled corpse wrapped in a white cloth.

Only a wizard angry enough would cast a spell to blow himself up.

Dumbledore also glanced at Barty Jr.'s corpse, and quickly continued. "Alasto, did little Barty tell you why Voldemort wanted Harry?"

"They're probably preparing some kind of dark magic ritual that will require Harry." Moody said hesitantly, although he has been controlled by the Imperius Curse, he can only be regarded as half of his own people, and he can't hear too secret news.

"Magical rituals?" Dumbledore muttered, muttering for a moment, then looked at Moody and spoke. "Get Barty over for me, Alasto, I have something to ask him, and I need to tell him that we've found his son......"

Moody complied, using the Transfiguration Charm to get himself a makeshift prosthetic leg, and then walked away with a cane.

Dumbledore then looked at Ivan and Hermione, and spoke softly. "Hals, Miss Granger, I think it's time to go back and get some rest after a busy night's work."

"Good night, then, Professor Dumbledore." Ivan understood that Dumbledore was starting to chase people out, so he didn't mean to stay long, even if he and Hermione turned to leave.

Out of the principal's office, the huge stone beast behind him slowly sank and sealed the entrance with a dull sound.

Ivan was about to go straight back to the dormitory, but Hermione, who was beside him, jumped up and hugged him.

"What's wrong? Hermione? Ivan was surprised.

"Are you alright? Ivan? If there is any injury, should you go to the school hospital for examination? Hermione asked excitedly, then suddenly thought of it, muttering to herself in anguish. Oh, I almost forgot that the hospital isn't open yet. ”

"I'm fine, nothing at all, but isn't it too late for you to ask now?" Ivan said with a smile in his eyes.

Hermione pursed her lips and didn't reply, Dumbledore and Moody were there before, plus Ivan was standing there decently, and her clothes were not torn, so she naturally didn't show it too obviously.

Ivan probably guessed the little witch's thoughts, so he didn't bother to look into it, and repeatedly emphasized that he was healthy now and didn't have any dark injuries from the explosion.

After calming Hermione's worries, Ivan inquired about the little witch's experience tonight, and he wondered when Dumbledore had been following him.

The two of them talked as they went, and by the time they reached the Gryffindor common room, Hermione had already told her and Dumbledore to follow Ivan into the chamber......
