Log In to The Old Man Ring At Hogwarts at the Start

"Snape told me.

Zicomo explained: "Didn't Snape be there at the Quidditch World Cup? He recognized Barty Jr. then. He told me about it later."

Harry asked, "Then why didn't you tell me when I told you about it?"

Zicomo shrugged his shoulders and said, "You didn't ask. Besides, he was caught by the Ministry of Magic at that time, so it doesn't make sense to tell you."

Harry was at a loss for words for a moment, as if that was really the case.

When he talked to Zicomo about his dreams, the focus was on Voldemort.

The matter of Barty Crouch Jr. was just a casual mention.

Rubbing his chin, Zicomo said, "But it seems that he may have escaped later."

What Zicomo's words reminded Harry, he asked: "You mean, Mr. Crouch's death is related to his son?"

Harry thought that the old Crouch had imprisoned Barty Jr. in Azkaban, and Barty Jr. would definitely hold grudges against Crouch Jr.

If Barty Jr. really escaped and entered Hogwarts under the instigation of Voldemort, he wanted to attack him.

Then it is not impossible for old Crouch to break through little Barty's actions and be killed by him.

Although Harry's guess was not quite correct, the result was correct.

It was indeed Barty Jr. who killed Crouch Sr.

Zicomo nodded, confirming Harry's guess.

At this time, Dumbledore asked: "Who can explain to me, an old man? What is Harry's dream? What's the matter with Barty Crouch Jr. Isn't he dead?"

Zicomo's conversation with Harry made him feel like an outsider.

Harry didn't answer Dumbledore's question, but turned to Zicomo and asked, "Is Barty Crouch Jr. dead?"

Zicomo waved 593 hands and said: "The Ministry of Magic did report his death more than ten years ago, but since he reappeared now, he must have escaped Azkaban by using some means of feigning death."

Zicomo pointed to Dumbledore, and said, "You should explain it to our headmaster first."

Dumbledore's face had darkened by this time.

He'd always felt adrift since Harry had been a Hogwarts champion.

She flipped through his memory without saying anything, and ignored his questions again and again.

Dumbledore felt very tired and thought about changing the savior altogether.

Seeing Dumbledore's gloomy face, Harry quickly told Dumbledore what happened.

Dumbledore was relieved to learn that what Harry had seen in the Pensieve was only the memory of the trial Carlof.

"If things are really as Zicomo guessed, then Barty Jr. is most likely still at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore reminded Harry: "Harry, you have to be careful, don't be alone in your usual actions."

Harry nodded, indicating that he understood.

Dumbledore turned to Zicomo and asked, "Where do you think Barty Crouch Jr. is hiding?"

"How would I know?" Zicomo rolled his eyes and said, "But there is one person who is quite suspicious. y

"who?"

"The first to find out that Crouch Sr. was killed."

In fact, Zicomo does not know who was the first to find out that Cockrouch was killed.

But cunning criminals often report crimes by pretending to be witnesses.

What's more, Moody was here when Dumbledore and Fudge were arguing just now.

(agdd) So Zicomo speculates wildly that 'Moody' assumed the identity of the first witness.

And Dumbledore's answer also proved that Zicomo guessed right.

"You mean Alastor? How is that possible?"

Dumbledore hadn't expected that Zicomo's suspicions would turn out to be the former veteran Auror.

Zicomo spread his hands and said: "Then how do you explain that he didn't eat at night and went to the forbidden forest?"

Dumbledore was at a loss for words for a moment, as if he really couldn't find any valid reason to excuse 'Moody'.

Without waiting for Dumbledore to reply, Zicomo continued: "Anyway, just be careful, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."

After all, Zicomo got up and left here.

It's getting late now, and he promised Huang Xi to take her to have supper.

Not far from the headmaster's office, Zicomo bumped into Carlof and Snape around a corner.

Carloff was showing Snape the Dark Emblem on his arm with an excited expression at the moment.

He said excitedly, "It's a signal, Severus! You and I both know what it means!"

The sound of Zicomo's footsteps attracted the two to look over.

Seeing that the two found themselves, Zicomo greeted and said, "Hey! Two, why don't you show off the tattoo?"

Carlof, however, ignored Zicomo's quip.

He pulled down his sleeves and left here without saying a word.

Snape asked, "Why are you here?"

Zicomo said: "Harry took him to the headmaster's office and he found old Mr Crouch dead in the Forbidden Forest.

Snape sneered out of habit, "Oh, he's still so nosy."

He decided that he must not let Lilian get in touch with Harry in the future, lest she learn those stinky problems from Harry.

At this time, Harry's voice suddenly came from behind Snape: "Professor, it's not a good habit to speak ill of others behind their backs."

Snape was a little embarrassed when he was caught by the real master for speaking ill of others behind his back.

He changed the subject and said, "Congratulations, great performance in Black Lake. Gill grass, right?"

Harry nodded, "Yes."

"That's a good idea, that's a rare medicinal herb [ten people can't get their hands on it."

Before Harry could speak, Snape continued, "But that's no reason for you to steal from my private storage room."

Harry thought, he knew Snape would praise him for no good.

Meanwhile Harry was also surprised by Neville.

He didn't expect Neville, who was usually timid, to be so bold this time, to steal from Snape's inventory.

Thinking of this, Harry was a little moved, and decided to accuse Neville this time.

He said to Snape, "Sorry, Professor."

After getting Harry's apology, Snape looked much better.

"Gills are harmless," Snape said.

After all, since he learned of Zicomo's "Zen Garden", he has never been short of herbs.

"But the African tree snake skin, and lacewings, are you playing with your friends to make polyjuice potion again?"

With that said, Snape looked at Zicomo.

He knew that the last time Harry stole these things was to use them to make Polyjuice Potion for Hermione.

Zicomo shrugged and said: "It has nothing to do with Hermione, she has long since stopped playing such low-level formulas."

Snape knew Zicomo didn't have to lie to him.

Besides, with Zicomo's financial resources, Hermione didn't need to steal materials from him.

He turned to Harry and asked, "That's you and the Weasley kid?"

Harry shook his head and said, "I really didn't steal this!"

Snape looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

Harry nodded firmly, "Really!"

Snape frowned, if it wasn't Harry who stole it, wouldn't it mean that there was someone else at Hogwarts who was stealing from him?

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's already curfew time, you should go back first."

Seeing Snape chasing people away, Harry left here with curiosity about who stole Snape's things.

After Harry left, Snape asked Zicomo, "Who do you think stole my things?"

Instead of answering directly, Zicomo asked rhetorically, "Guess what 'Moody' drinks every day?"

Snape's eyes widened and he asked, "You mean he's drinking Polyjuice Potion? 'Moody' is someone in disguise?"

Zicomo nodded: "Hmm, I've known since the first day of school that 'Moody' was pretended by Barty Crouch Jr. As for the real Moody, I don't know where he hid it for a long time."

Snape frowned and asked, "But hasn't Barty Crouch Jr. been arrested?"

Zicomo asked back: "Then did you hear the news that he was arrested again? Most likely he was saved by the old Crouch, and he escaped again in the end."

Snape thought what Zicomo was saying was very likely.

If this is the case, then old Crouch is quite poor. He tried his best to save his son, but in the end he was killed by his own son.

Snape then asked, "Then why didn't you expose him?"

Zicomo waved his hand and said, "Why am I exposing him? It's not good for me. Besides, now that he's been exposed, how can I draw out the people behind him?"

Reminded by Zicomo, Snape remembered that Barty Crouch Jr. had another master.

It is also the object of his past service --- Voldemort.

Snape asked, "So you plan to do something to that man?"

If that's the case, then he has nothing to worry about.

With Zicomo's strength, it's easy to defeat a Dark Lord.

Zicomo nodded and said, "Hermione has made great progress recently. I plan to find an opponent for her to exercise her actual combat ability."

Snape had that look on his face that you're kidding me.

He said, "Are you sure she can handle Voldemort?"

Zicomo said indifferently: "How do you know if something works if you haven't tried it? Besides, I'm the one who knows about it.

Snape thought the same, given how valuable Zicomo was to Hermione, it was impossible to see Hermione in danger. .
