Chapter 371 Night Talk
"As for Barty Crouch Jr., I think it's better not to reveal his true colors now." Dumbledore rested his hands on his chin, and his expression was calm, almost indifferent.
Allen looked into Dumbledore's eyes, put his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and continued to wait for Dumbledore's supplement.
"Catching little Crouch now will do us no good. On the contrary, it will create more hidden dangers. At least, now we know who is going to make trouble, and his every move is under our surveillance Otherwise, with so many professors and students at Hogwarts, if they come again, it will be difficult for us to find out who will be disguised, and in that case, Harry will be in greater danger." Dumbledore said calmly.
"As for Moody, as long as little Crouch is not exposed for a day, he will be safe for the time being before their final plan begins." Dumbledore didn't explain the reason too much, he and Allen knew each other well—— The compound decoction needs something from Moody's body as one of the materials, and Little Crouch needs Moody to be alive to ensure the efficacy and stability of the compound decoction.
"The purpose of the Harris family, I think I see it very clearly. When the matter is over, I will hand over Barty Crouch Jr. to your hands." Dumbledore saw that Allen did not express his position, so he helped said the glasses.
Alan nodded slightly in agreement, "Principal, what you said is very reasonable. If you don't move the fake Moody for a while, the danger Harry faces is under our control. For us Harris, as long as the fake Moody is caught , Crouch collapses sooner or later, we are not in a hurry."
"Ah, I still have some grapefruit tea here, maybe Alan, you would like to taste it." Dumbledore commanded a transparent glass jar to fly over, which contained an orange viscous solid.
Allen shook his head and refused, "Thank you, I think grapefruit is a bit bitter."
"Well, in fact, bitter things can be doubled sweet as long as they are processed carefully."
Allen was noncommittal, and took a sip of pumpkin juice.
"Alan, I would like to ask you to take care of Harry during the Three Witches Tournament and not let him have any accidents." Dumbledore spoke calmly, and he looked at Alan.
"Of course, but excluding facing Voldemort at the end, I can delay him for a while at most. In the end, you still have to deal with him."
Allen felt that he did not have the aura of Harry as the protagonist. When facing Voldemort, although he had the help of magic enhancement potions, attribute potions and tower knowledge, after all, his actual combat experience was far less than that of these veterans who had lived for decades. Monsters are abundant.
"Isn't that one of the reasons why you told me about the fake Moody?" Dumbledore smiled indifferently at Allen - Dumbledore understood why Allen chose to share the details of this matter with Guess told himself that he just wished he didn't have to risk too much for it.
"It's best if we can kill Voldemort before the resurrection ceremony is completed. If he succeeds, he can consume the Horcrux once. In this way, he will have to wait for a while if he wants to be resurrected, which will buy you enough time Harry grows up. If that prophecy comes true, it's safer for Potter to face it when he's older."
Of course, this can also give himself enough time to grow up to the point where he can fight Voldemort alone, Allen secretly planned.
"Then we've settled it." Dumbledore raised his glass happily.
"Professor Dumbledore, I know that your Legilimency is quite clever. Recently, I am studying the application of Legilimency in battle. Can you give me some help? This way I can better protect Harry." .” Regarding Dumbledore’s request to protect Harry himself, Allen also took advantage of the opportunity to propose the return he wanted.
"Of course, my child." Dumbledore waved his wand, and a notebook with a silver cover appeared on the table.
"Here are some of my thoughts, which may be helpful to you." Dumbledore smiled and winked at Allen.
"Well, professor, I have another merciless request." Allen asked again.
Dumbledore looked at Allen through his glasses, he just kept smiling but didn't speak.
"If I can make sure I get an O in the final exam, I hope I don't have to take classes." Alan stated his intentions clearly and freely.
"At Hogwarts, there are many young wizards who are knowledgeable and have excellent grades. If you want to get such a privilege, then you must first become a player in the Tri-Wizard Tournament." Dumbledore said.
"Didn't you set up the magic to detect age yourself? I remember you warned me with your eyes." Allen couldn't help laughing when he recalled the scene at the beginning of school.
"I don't think a strong confusion spell is a problem for you at all. Asking others for help is also a means." Dumbledore crossed his fingers and put them on his chest, "Alan, I am very happy that you can take the initiative to put Moody Tell me about the situation. Although you are planning for the Harris family, you have your own bottom line. "
Allen nodded as acquiescence and thanked the other party for his compliment. He kept a polite smile and got up to say goodbye to Dumbledore.
"Oh, it's so late!" Dumbledore nodded, and the door of the headmaster's room opened silently.
Just when Allen reached the door, Dumbledore stopped him.
"Allen, please tell your father, Mr. Owen Harris, that even if he went to my old friend during the summer vacation, he will not come out of prison as long as I am in power. This is what he told me Promise, he never lied to me, I believe him."
Allen was taken aback for a moment, a name flashed through his mind, Gellert Grindelwald - the departure of father and mother at that time turned out to be more than just to spend some two-person world...
It was late at night when we returned to the tower, and Allen was not in a hurry to wash up and go to sleep. Instead, he spread out a piece of parchment and told his father about the fake Moody and the conversation between him and Dumbledore. He didn't write down his doubts about the first-generation Dark Lord Grindelwald in the letter. He planned to find a chance to meet his father and then discuss this matter with him in detail.
The next day, when Allen woke up from his sleep, Benny had brought back Owen's reply.
Owen is all for the plan of easing off for a while before making an arrest. As far as he is concerned, simply pulling Crouch out of office is not enough. During this period of time, he can collect some criminal evidence, buy some neutrals, and replace all the officials of Crouch's faction.
After breakfast, Allen hurried to the Potions classroom. He was not the only one doing this.
The alert Ravenclaws have all discovered the recent anomalies of Professor Snape.
Everyone knew that Professor Snape wanted to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts in particular, and he hadn't been able to get the job for four years running.
Snape had expressed dissatisfaction with his previous Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, and it was written on his face - but with Mad-Eye Moody, he seemed to be extra careful not to let such hostility Show it.
At meals or as they passed each other in the hallway - it was obvious to him that Snape was avoiding Moody's eyes, either the magic eye or the normal one.
