Lavender Brown murmured.
"What did you say, I didn't catch it?" Moody said gruffly, and he took a few steps closer.
Lavender was taken aback, her body leaned back subconsciously, and the book on her lap fell off and hit the ground with a "bang". She hurriedly picked up the book and put it in the table.
"I, uh, I just said, maybe because his goal is not me." She blushed and said.
There was a low laugh in the classroom.
Moody didn't smile. The few people in the seat, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, didn't smile either. They knew the answer in advance.
"You think this answer is wonderful, isn't it?" Moody said softly, "What if you happen to hinder his plan... what will happen next?"
The air in the classroom seemed to freeze. Moody dragged his wooden legs forward a few steps and moved to Lavender, who suddenly trembled.
Parvati next to her plucked up the courage and said, "Professor Moody, I think... the dark wizard must have his own purpose in sneaking into the school, isn't it? We encountered a similar situation in the first grade, and there was a dark wizard who wanted to hide. In the school... uh, magic stone?"
"It's the Philosopher's Stone," Hermione corrected in a low voice, staring at the back row with the others.
Moody's intact eye looked at Parvati, and the magic eye was still staring at Lavender Brown.
"Miss Petil, you are right. The Dark Wizard has his own purpose in sneaking into the school. Before the goal is achieved, he must be careful. But this is based on the condition that everything goes well..."
"But what if it doesn't go well?" His broken nose trembled, "Just like now, I noticed you because of a book, if'I' is the dark wizard, if'I' just wants to transfer someone else's attention……"
Moody suddenly pulled out his wand, and a dazzling fire flew from the tip of the wand. The windows in the classroom suddenly exploded, and there was a series of screams in the room.
He waved his wand calmly, and the broken glass and window ridges recovered automatically.
"In the eyes of the dark wizard, that window is no different from a human life. If at a certain moment he thinks that one or two people should die in the school, those who are irrelevant... Why can't it be you that died? What's more, that Not an ordinary black wizard, but a more dangerous Death Eater, desperately devoted to the Dark Lord, planning the master’s resurrection."
"Professor, the mysterious man is dead!" a student said in fear, looking at Moody as if he was finally crazy.
"Really?" Moody grinned. "During the war, the Dark Lord occasionally disappears for a while, and some people think he is dead, but he always declares his existence with **** crimes. Maybe he likes this. A dramatic scene."
He stretched out his rough hand. "Miss Brown?"
"What, what?"
"That book." Moody said quietly.
Lavender stood up and tremblingly handed him the newly bought "Away from the Dark."
Moody turned two pages, showing a disgusted expression, and returned the book to her. He limped back to the podium, picking and choosing among the pile of parchment, "Before I officially start my story, there is one thing that must be done. I suddenly realized a problem: You are too far away from the war. There is no concept at all..."
"It just so happened that I was not idle during the holidays, so I sorted out some information." Moody pointed to his head and said: "Professor Haipu suggested that I write down all the things I can remember in the past six months and draw a line. Maybe I can retrieve some lost memories..."
"I refused to write on paper, but I still took a long time to review my past experiences, and by the way, I also remembered more distant things. I think some of them are still valuable and can be used in teaching...Miss Brown, Can you read it for me?"
He pointed at the podium with his magic wand, and a few parchments floated past, Lavender Brown took it and looked at it twice, her face whitening "swishly".
"Miss Brown?" Moody stared at her wickedly.
"Oh, I... okay." Lavender looked like she was about to cry, and she read the above tremblingly:
"Bellatrix Lestrange, Death Eater, has tortured countless Muggles and people who don’t support the Dark Lord in the Wizarding War. She is extremely fond of the Heartbreaking Curse. She has at least 137 horrors. The operation is related. The known victims include 206 Muggles and 29 wizards. The list of the victims is as follows: Polk Keene, who died of the Curse of the Heart, and his wife, Winnie, five-year-old son were also killed. Boothney; Salisbury Joshur, died of a fire curse... Bellatrix Lestrange was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment."
"Rodolphs Lestrange, Death Eater, participated in most of the actions of his wife Bellatrix Lestrange and brother Rabstein Lestrange... was sentenced Life imprisonment."
"Ann, Antonin Dolokhov, Death Eaters, participated in the brutal murder of Fabian and Gideon Puwit who dared to resist the rule of the Dark Lord... the list of victims... was sentenced to life Imprisonment."
"Evan Rozier... was arrested and killed by the Auror after the Dark Lord lost power."
"Old Morseber, Death Eater...died during the war years."
"Wilks, Death Eater...died during the war years."
"Young Morseber, accused of using the Imperius Curse on multiple people, forcing them to do terrible things, continuing to cause chaos and terror... was sentenced to life imprisonment."
"Fenrir Greyback, leader of the werewolf and werewolf communities, is notorious for his love of attacking children. He is committed to making more people become werewolves, hoping to build a strong army against wizards...in the war Following the Dark Lord, the Ministry of Magic issued a wanted order, but he is still at large..."
Lavender didn't finish reading until the bell rang after class. She looked pale, as if she had a serious illness.
Moody calmly retracted the parchment, "We will continue next class, I think this class is very meaningful. Today's homework is to find out the names of Death Eaters you can find and list what they did... …I’ve already typed you a sample, haven’t I?"
"The content of the next class can also be revealed to be the people I just thought of who died during the war against the rule of the Dark Lord. You can check the information in advance and preview it."
Moody left with heavy steps.
The students packed their things quietly, not in the mood to speak. Lavender let out a retching and ran out of the classroom crying, Parvati chasing behind with their belongings.
Ron stared at them and said anxiously: "She's really tolerant of this class. I think our class environment will be better in the new semester..."
Harry sat in the seat pale.
"Harry, what's the matter with you?" Ron looked at Harry, and Hermione shook her head at him. It suddenly occurred to him that Harry's parents died during the war. He patted Harry on the shoulder.
"Fenrir Greyback," Harry said suddenly.
"What?" Ron and Hermione looked at him in amazement.
"Fenrir Greyback," Harry swallowed. "Sirius told me that when he was a child, Remus was bitten by a werewolf named Fenrir Greyback. I thought that werewolf had already been bitten by a werewolf. After being imprisoned in Azkaban, he unexpectedly escaped punishment!"
Ron was surprised at first, then showed a dazed expression. He comforted: "Don't worry, he won't have a good end, the big deal is that we will meet him in the future and catch him."
His tone was as if he heard that there was a biting cat raccoon nearby, and all he had to do was kick it away when he encountered it.
Harry laughed. Hermione said grimly: "Let's learn the warm-up spell first. When the ice on the black lake melts, we have to spend time practicing swimming!"
"Swimming in the weather in January and February?" Ron opened his mouth wide, as if thinking about it for the first time.
"I prepared a series of spells, waterproof spells, body-warming spells, draw away spells, bubble head spells or humanoid iron armor spells, and some regular spells..." Hermione ignored Ron and continued: "We are best Complete these by the end of January, leaving enough time to prevent emergencies"
"Have you made an appointment with Fred and George?" She turned to look at Ron.
Ron stammered immediately, "Yes, not yet."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Hermione said arrogantly, crouching, and Harry and Ron shrank their necks.
The last few people in the classroom also left, and Draco Malfoy looked worried, his face no better than Lavender.
Ron said sharply: "Maybe he can get good at this assignment. He just needs to write a letter to the family and ask what his father and those Death Eater friends did back then..."
Harry saw Malfoy's footsteps and he guessed he should have heard it, but strangely, he didn't show a mocking smile this time, instead he walked away without looking back.
Harry turned his head and saw Hermione pick up a book from the table in the back row.
"Oh, it was Lavender who dropped it. I think she might not be in the mood to clean up... I'll bring it to her," Hermione said, her eyes stopped on the author's name on the cover, and she hesitated, "Of course we can also. Let's take a look first."
...
In the evening, the ancient magic text office.
A beetle crawled in along the window and slowly returned to its human form on the floor. Rita Skeeter was panting, she especially refused to meet Felix alone but no way, she was going crazy.
Her new home showed signs of being broken into the day before yesterday. She didn't know if it was made by that crazy Death Eater. She couldn't imagine that when the wanted order was already plastered all over the streets, the fugitive named'Batti Crouch Jr.' would risk appearing near her home.
"Maybe a radical fan..."
But she couldn't convince herself with this reason, and the black was desperately asking her, damn, she didn't even mention the surname'Black' in the new book. At most, it is slightly hinted in the title of the book and the background of the characters...
The lights in the room turned on suddenly.
Rita Skeeter was startled, her eyes widened, she could barely see the person sitting on the sofa, and her heart trembled.
"Rita, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Felix said softly, holding Valen in his arms, and the sniff was staring at her curiously.
"Haw (the bug turned into a human)?"
