Chapter 679: When Did Everyone Know About My Marauder’s Map?

Moody vented his anger and scolded the Aurors for their perfunctory behavior. After scolding him for several minutes, he turned to look at Ivan and spoke.

"Halse, if Aurors had as keen an observation ability as you, that brat's disguise would have been seen through long ago."

"Thank you very much, Professor Moody..." Ivan shrugged noncommittally.

With Moody's bad temper, which Auror would dare to question him carefully?

"What's next, Alastor?" Dumbledore asked.

"Then they imprisoned me for a while, as if they were planning something. After the Aurors left, little Barty released me and said he would take me to meet his master Voldemort!" Moody's expression Became very serious.

"Mysterious man?" Hermione's eyes widened and she spoke in surprise. "So what Harry said is true, he has been resurrected?"

"I was shocked at first, but fortunately it shouldn't be, at least that's what I think..." Moody muttered, smacking his lips.

Hermione was completely confused and didn't quite understand what Moody meant.

Moody quickly cleared up her doubts. He held his cane in his right hand and tapped on the chair, transforming the chair into an oval-shaped bundle with an opening at the top, like a baby's swaddle.

"This is the Voldemort I saw!" Moody said with palpitations as he recalled that scene.

Hermione took a few steps closer and discovered that there was actually a statue of a baby wrapped in the bundle. It was so lifelike that it looked just like the real thing at first glance.

But the weird thing is that this baby actually has a flat snake face. The exposed skin is dark red and is vaguely covered with a layer of snake scales.

"Is it Voldemort?" Hermione was a little confused. She really couldn't connect the terrifying Dark Lord in the story with the disgusting thing in front of her that looked like a dead baby.

Ivan also glanced at it, and I have to say that Voldemort is really ugly now. It seems that after losing most of his power, the power of the basilisk's bloodline has been out of control to the point of seriously alienating his appearance.

"Hey, how's it going? Isn't it surprising?" Moody grinned and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the famous Dark Lord would be held in Peter's arms like a baby when we first met. When Barty Jr. pointed at him and told me that was the Dark Lord, I almost thought they were joking with me."

"Your guess is correct, Alastor, Voldemort has not been resurrected in the true sense." Dumbledore stared at the swaddling clothes on the ground and the weird baby inside. After a pause, he continued solemnly.

"But compared to before, he has become stronger. He is no longer a pitiful ghost. He has gained a body, which means he regains the ability to cast spells..."

Moody nodded. He made some sarcastic remarks then as now, and then an angry Voldemort cast the Cruciatus Curse himself, torturing him.

This is enough to prove that Voldemort is not as fragile as he seems on the surface, and is still the extremely dangerous Dark Lord.

"He tortured me with the Cruciatus Curse all night, and then changed my memory when I was at my weakest, making me mistakenly believe that I was actually a fanatical Death Eater who had just been lurking in the Ministry of Magic as an undercover agent..."

"I always knew that was wrong. How could Death Eaters capture so many dark wizards? I wanted to work hard to correct this idea, but I couldn't control myself. He used the Imperius Curse on me to strengthen this belief. And use it to control my words and actions.

I think maybe I am really old and my willpower is not as strong as before. In short, he succeeded in turning me into an obedient puppet. "

At this point, Moody sighed dejectedly.

"That's not your problem, Alastor. Voldemort's research on the soul and black magic is very in-depth. No one knows exactly where he has gone..." Dumbledore said with relief.

Ivan also nodded.

Although Voldemort has not yet been completely resurrected, and his power is far inferior to that in his heyday, no matter how you say it, the foundation is still there, and it is simply not something that ordinary wizards can compete with.

You must know that in the original time and space, Voldemort unconsciously controlled Barty Crouch-the former Director of the Executive Department and Moody's boss with just a single face-to-face encounter, who was unable to even resist.

In comparison, Moody's performance was commendable, and it took Voldemort a lot of effort to completely control him.

Of course, it may also be because modifying the memory is a delicate matter, and Moody's will to resist must be weakened as much as possible.

Ivan thought silently, while Moody on the side continued to talk about the subsequent events.

"After that, Voldemort probably thought I had succumbed, so he didn't deliberately avoid talking to Peter and Barty Jr.

I heard them discussing a plan. Originally, Voldemort was counting on Barty Crouch Jr. to use Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as me and enter Hogwarts, which would be more conducive to the implementation of the plan.

After all, it is not convenient to use the Imperius Curse to control remotely. They can only order me to do certain things, but they cannot know the progress of the matter immediately. I need to report every once in a while so that Barty can treat me again. Give instructions. "

"Then why did they change the plan midway?" Ivan frowned and asked. This was one of the two questions that he had never understood.

"I don't know." Moody shook his head, then thought of something again, and continued. "I guess they must be worried about being discovered by your Marauder's Map."

"It seems that Pettigrew revealed a lot of information about me... I thought he really couldn't remember anything after losing his memory." Ivan said with a sneer.

"In fact, even without Peter, the map cannot be hidden from them. Many people in the wizarding world know it. It would be strange if Voldemort didn't notice this." Moody said.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face. When did everyone know about his Marauder's Map?

"Have you forgotten? Ivan? When we helped Sirius overturn the case last year, you showed us the Marauder's Map, and it was on the front page of the Daily Prophet the next day..." Hermione reminded.

She has collected every Prophet Daily article related to Ivan and read it many times, so naturally she remembers it very clearly.

Ivan patted his head, but he had forgotten about it.

He had seen a wall full of Daily Prophets in that secret room before. It was estimated that little Barty had nothing to do on weekdays and did a lot of research on himself. No wonder he was so cautious about the Marauder's Map.

"You may also have forgotten that Voldemort is a master of memory. He may have a way to help Peter retrieve some lost memories." Dumbledore added. "Peter was one of the makers of that map and must have known how to avoid it."
