Chapter 911 Dialogue

"Is this what you did last night?"

Snape put down the newspaper and stared at Dumbledore, as if he wanted to know something from him.

"You already knew that, didn't you?"

"I already knew it? No, we are just going to talk to Batty about strengthening the security measures of the Triwizard Tournament. By the way, we are going to verify the guess." Dumbledore looked very calm, although Batty's death made him feel It's quite a pity, but after living for a century, he has seen many life and death, and he has no sadness.

"Did you kill the Dark Lord?" Snape couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart, he pulled his left arm to reveal the Dark Mark on it: "The Dark Lord has become weaker, and the Dark Mark has even returned to what it was before situation."

"Kill, no, no, I just drove him away temporarily." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Tell me about the situation at the school. There should be nothing unusual about the time I've been away."

"Moody still looks suspicious, I doubt he knows you let me spy on him." Snape said

"Any more?"

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to this matter. He knew very early on that with Alastor Moody's prudence, he would find this out sooner or later.

"Potter is sick. According to him, it seems that the scar on his forehead hurts. It is not an ordinary scar." Snape continued, "Even Madam Pomfrey can't do anything about it."

"Does the scar hurt?" Dumbledore looked thoughtful.

"You must know why," said Snape.

"I'm not sure." Dumbledore actually guessed the reason.

"Do you think Voldemort will regain his body?" Snape was still more concerned about Voldemort's problem.

"Peter Pettigrew is still alive. Although the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are hunting him everywhere, I doubt whether the Ministry of Magic will be able to catch him." Dumbledore did not believe that the Ministry of Magic had such abilities at all, "Since the first time , there will be a second time, I think Voldemort should now be impatient to take on a physical body and regain his former strength, I have no doubts about it. It's just a matter of time."

Snape's face looked paler than usual.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you'd better prepare in advance, you know what I mean." Dumbledore said, looking at Snape.

"I know what I should do." Snape twitched his lips slightly, turned and left.

Dumbledore watched Snape's leaving back, picked up the Daily Prophet, looked at the news on the front page, and murmured: "As expected, you still did that."

"That guy is a disgrace to the Ministry of Magic. I really don't understand why such a person can become the Minister of Magic." After Snape left, the portrait in the principal's office began to criticize Fudge.

"No way, some things just like this."

Dumbledore raised his hand to signal the portraits to be quiet, grabbed a handful of shiny powder from a pot on the mantelpiece, sprinkled it on the fireplace, and said to the rising green flame: "Alastor, please come to the headmaster office."

Seconds later, Mad-Eye Moody crawled out of the fireplace flames.

"Sit down, old man!" Dumbledore pulled up an armchair for Moody, "Tell me about last night!"

"If I have to say it, I think Potter is probably sick." Moody recalled: "Nothing is wrong with the rest, no one left the castle, and no one spread the news. Of course, Snape was still very suspicious. , I found out that he grabbed his left arm for a while, that should be where his Dark Mark is, and if that thing has any special function, you know Death Eaters can summon Voldemort through the mark."

"I see." Dumbledore was secretly observing Moody.

"I read the latest issue of the "Daily Prophet", and I always feel that Fudge seems to be hiding some secret." Moody cast an inquiring look at Dumbledore, and he could probably guess what happened last night.

Little Barty was actually very angry, but he had to hold back now, and he couldn't let Dumbledore see a flaw, otherwise he would really be finished. Moreover, you can't drink tranquilizers, so as not to be seen by the other party.

"It's Voldemort." Dumbledore said, "Voldemort used the Imperius Curse to control Barty. I suspect he has another assistant besides Peter Pettigrew."

"who?"

"Barty Crouch Jr." Dumbledore said without thinking.

"I remember Barty Crouch Jr. seems to have died in Azkaban?"

Moody's face trembled slightly, and he frowned and said, "The body should have been buried in the cemetery of Azkaban by the dementors."

"I know, but...Peter Pettigrew's body was also buried in Azkaban, but he is still not dead, so Barty Crouch Jr. may not be dead either." Dumbledore murmured: "Otherwise, Why did Voldemort control and even kill Barty?"

"Do you suspect that Barty Crouch Jr. sneaked into Hogwarts?"

"I don't know, if he really sneaked into Hogwarts and was active under my nose, I couldn't have noticed something was wrong."

Dumbledore's control over Hogwarts is actually very strong, and basically few people can hide it from him.

"Are you suspicious of anyone at school, including me?" Moody said suddenly.

"Sorry old man."

"Understandably, everyone seems to be suspicious until the guy is caught." Moody didn't care too much about it, "However, we know enough about both parties that if you find anything suspicious about me The place has already subdued me in the first place."

Dumbledore didn't object. This is indeed the reason why he only doubts Moody now. In fact, he shouldn't show it, but he still let Moody know his attitude towards this matter, and let's see his reaction by the way.

"Tell me about last night, you met Voldemort?" Moody changed the topic, showing enough curiosity and vigilance about what happened last night.

"Yes, Voldemort turned into a baby."

"He regained his body, which is not good news." Moody murmured.

"The situation is a bit bad. This kind of thing has one thing and two things. I haven't figured out what happened to Voldemort yet." Dumbledore sighed and said, "That guy seems to be planning a big conspiracy. I found a lot of medicinal materials at home."

"At least, you have successfully thwarted Voldemort's plot. If you can catch Peter Pettigrew, you should be able to get more useful information from the other party." Moody seemed a little regretful: "And, I am very sorry for Peter Pettigrew. I am very interested in how to come back to life after death."

"Mrs. Peter went to Azkaban to visit the prison two days ago." Dumbledore said suddenly.

"It's not worth it." Moody said after a moment of silence, "I remember that the Ministry of Magic will not easily let the family members go to Azkaban to visit the prison. Fudge must have accepted the other party's Galleon."
