Chapter 511： the disappearing crouch

"..."

"..."

After the embarrassing silence, Snape narrowed his eyes and sneered with his thin lips raised. "What? Did you learn cat language from Fish besides Parseltongue, Potter?"

"I want to see Professor Dumbledore!" Harry's face darkened, ignoring Snape's sarcasm, "It's Mr. Crouch...he showed up...he was in the Forbidden Forest...he offered to... …”

"What nonsense!" said Snape, his dark eyes shining. "What are you talking about?"

Looking at Snape's malicious eyes, Harry knew that the other party would not let him go easily.

Considering the conversation between Karkaroff and Snape that he overheard before, Harry never thought to tell Snape what Crouch said.

So he could only shout at Snape: "Mr. Crouch! Officer in the Ministry! He's ill or something... In the Forbidden Forest, he wants to see Dumbledore! Give me the password... …”

However, just as Harry had expected, Snape ignored his shouting at all, but twisted his thin lips into an ugly smile: "Headmaster is busy, Potter."

Just as Harry gritted his teeth and wanted to reveal a little about Barty Crouch's condition, the stone wall behind Snape opened again, and Dumbledore in a green robe appeared in front of Harry.

"there is a problem?"

Dumbledore looked at Harry, then at Snape, and asked.

"Professor!" Harry didn't wait for Snape to speak, but took a step away from him and came to Dumbledore. "Mr. Crouch is here..."

At this moment, another person's voice sounded from the corner, interrupting Harry's words.

"What are you guys doing here to play? Feixu wants to play together too!"

?(?ΦωΦ?)?

Shortly after returning to the dormitory, Cat Cat, who was dragging Hermione out for a night tour, heard the movement here and rushed over.

"Good evening, Professor."

Hermione followed behind Fish, bowing her head in greeting.

Although she has traveled with Mao Mao many times at night, when facing professors, especially the principal, Hermione still felt a little guilty.

Harry didn't bother to greet the two of them, and continued to say to Dumbledore: "Mr. Crouch is in the Forbidden Forest and wants to talk to you!"

"Lead the way ahead," Dumbledore said to Harry without wasting any time.

And Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and walked quickly along the corridor to the outside of the castle.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

(??ω??)

At a glance, he knew that something strange had happened, and the cat quickly took Hermione's hand and asked with shining eyes.

Snape stood there with an ugly expression, looked at the backs of several people for a while, and then followed.

Harry glanced at Snape, who had caught up, and said, "After I got back from the Quidditch pitch, I wanted to drop by and see Hagrid..."

As he walked down the marble stairs quickly, he told what happened before. Anyway, the people here already knew about the map.

"...Then I accidentally discovered Mr. Crouch's name in the Forbidden Forest..." Harry said again about the strange state of Barty Crouch after he found him.

Dumbledore's face suddenly turned serious.

And the know-it-all Hermione couldn't help but said, "He must be under the Confusion Charm? Did someone attack Mr. Crouch?"

"It could also be drunk, meow."

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

The cat said with a serious face.

"There's another possibility," Snape said sullenly, "that he's under the Imperius Curse, and hasn't been completely free from it."

Everyone could not help but quicken their pace.

"Did Mr. Crouch say anything special, Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

Harry glanced at Snape again, hesitated, but answered honestly: "Said he wanted to remind you...said he did a terrible thing...and mentioned his son...and Bertha Jorkins...and...and Voldemort...as if Voldemort got stronger..."

Dumbledore and Snape's faces grew even more ugly, and they picked up their pace again, and Harry and Hermione had to run to keep up.

"A fight with Voldemort meow? A fight with Voldemort meow?"

?(??ω??)?

Only Fish was very excited, knowing that he had just gone to Hagrid's with Harry.

"Where is he now?" Dumbledore didn't answer Fish, but continued to ask Harry, who could already see the outlines of Hagrid's cottage and Beauxbatons' carriage.

"Over there," said Harry, rushing up to Dumbledore and leading the group through the bushes. He couldn't hear Crouch, but he knew he wasn't wrong, it was just a little further past the Beauxbatons wagon... almost here...

"Mr. Crouch?" Harry called.

No one answered.

"They were here just now," Harry said to Dumbledore. "They must be around here..."

"Fluorescent flashes." Dumbledore chanted the spell, lit his wand and held it in his hand. Snape and Hermione did the same, and the darkness nearby was quickly dispelled by three fluorescent white lights.

"My wand!" Harry, who also wanted to do the same, was startled at this time, and his wand seemed to be gone again, "It must have fallen near here when I was entangled with Crouch!"

"Is it this meow?"

(?ΦωΦ?)つ━

Fish with the best eyes dashed under a tree and picked up a wand.

"Yes! This is my wand! Thank you, Fish."

Harry hurried forward to take his wand and wiped it twice with his robe.

"But Crouch isn't here," Snape looked at Harry, who also lit his wand. "Maybe our Mr. Potter is lying again?"

"Harry didn't lie, meow." Fish twitched his nose twice and confirmed for Harry, "There is indeed the smell of Crouch here, and it should be coming from that direction."

(?ΦωΦ?)?

The cat pointed to the depths of the forbidden forest.

"Harry, where's your Marauder's map?" Dumbledore suddenly reminded.

"It's gone too..." Harry touched his pocket and replied with a bitter face, "It must have been dropped here with the wand before."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fei Xu with hope. Not only is the Marauder's map a very useful item, but it was made by Harry's father and godfather, and he certainly didn't want it to go away.

However, Mao Mao shook his head and said, "Fishu didn't see Meow either."

(`ω′≡`ω′)

"Severus," Dumbledore said after a moment of thought, "please **** Harry and Hermione back to the castle first, and send them directly to Gryffindor Tower."

He looked at Harry and Hermione again and said, "When you two get back to the dormitory, stay there and don't go anywhere. Even if you want to send someone a letter with an owl, you can wait until tomorrow morning."

Harry knew that Dumbledore was speaking mostly to himself.

"Uh...I see." He nodded, followed Snape obediently with Hermione, and walked towards the castle.

"Next, Fish, come and help find Mr. Crouch's trail."

When facing the cat, Dumbledore finally had a little smile.

"Okay meow!"

?(?ΦωΦ?)?

Fisch took Dumbledore and followed Mr. Crouch's scent to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but they stopped after they walked three or four hundred metersFish.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"No..." Fei Xu wiggled his nose, shook his head seriously, and said, "The smell in front is getting lighter and lighter, this should be Lu Miao when he came here."

After speaking, he turned around and returned to the original place. He opened his mouth slightly and sniffed around, and even switched to the cat-man form with a cat's head and a cat's brain.

"Crouch is the cat who disappeared here."

After some careful probing, Fish said to Dumbledore with certainty.
