Chapter 626 Shadows in the Bushes

"Mr. Crouch's body is just a little problem, and he will be back to health soon." Percy said impatiently, "He will be all right before the second match starts. Before that, I Very willing to grab unmanaged jobs. Of course, it’s not all prom stuff.”

He smiled arrogantly, and continued as if there was no one else present, "Just in time for Mr. Crouch to fall ill, various incidents continued to occur, and I had to deal with him. You heard that Ali Bashir was smuggling Was it about getting caught flying the carpet? Also, we've been trying to convince the Transnians to sign the International Anti-Duel Act, and I have a date with their Director of Magical Cooperation in the New Year"

Percy rattled on about his recent work, and the others didn't care to listen.

Ivan is more concerned about what is going on with Crouch. Could it be that Barty Crouch Jr., who pretended to be him, is tired of working in the Ministry of Magic, so he handed over all these messy things to Percy? !

What Barty Crouch Jr., who disappeared from everyone, was doing, made Ivan a little worried.

He's certainly not pretending to be Barty Crouch lying in a hospital bed, but has more important things to do.

Also, what did Percy just say about the new measures for the Triwizard Tournament? !

If you ask Percy directly, he will definitely not say it, but since it is a decision made by the Ministry, the school should already know about it.

Maybe you can ask Keresis, and ask if there is any new news by the way.

The few of them sat there for a while, and from time to time someone came to invite Ivan and Hermione to dance.

Alvin was very annoying, he didn't want to dance with other girls, and so did Hermione.

She rejected Krum again, and when Krum left, his face was gloomy and terrible, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Harry was still thinking about Cho, while Colin, Neville, Ginny, Luna, and Gabrielle continued dancing.

As for Ron, he never came back after the third song ended, and he didn't know where he and Lavender went.

"Let's go for a walk." Ivan whispered, and Hermione nodded.

The two of them left the table, sidled around the dance floor, and slipped out the door into the hall.

The front door stood wide open, and the fairy lights in the rose garden flickered as they descended the steps.

Today, the rose garden in front of the castle is filled with low shrubs, ornate winding paths and huge stone statues.

Statues and trees were hung with festive Christmas decorations, and the stars shone with golden magic.

Ai Wen could even hear the sound of splashing water, like a fountain, and occasionally people could be seen sitting on carved benches.

The little fairies danced among the flowers, flapping their wings and dropping stars.

Alvin and Hermione walked through rose bushes along a winding path.

The two walked slowly, enjoying this rare time alone.

The light got dimmer as he went forward, and Aiwen could see noises coming from many bushes, and someone could be seen kissing in the dimness.

As for the bolder ones, they have already run to the edge of the Forbidden Forest or the huge shadow of the castle

The two were a little embarrassed, but they seemed to be affected by the surrounding environment, and there was an impulse and temptation to go further.

This kind of opportunity, just taking a walk is too useless!

Aiwen made up his mind, held Hermione's little hand tightly, and walked into a dark corner where no one was around.

Hermione also understood what Ai Wen meant, she was a little scared but also a little expectant, and let him drag her forward.

She felt her face blushing badly, but fortunately it was so dark that no one could see it.

When she recovered, she subconsciously raised her head and looked into the dark corner on the left.

"Ivan, look there" Hermione said suddenly, her voice was very low.

Ivan looked towards the corner of the wall she was pointing at, and vaguely saw Ron and Lavender.

They were curled up in the corner, hugging each other tightly, so inseparable that it was hard to tell which hand was whose.

Well, this style of painting has changed a bit. Ron seems to be very active. Faced with Ron's various actions, Lavender does not refuse

Ivan and Hermione both looked at the corner in surprise and reacted for a while.

Then, the two of them acted tacitly as if they hadn't seen anything, and walked away quickly.

The progress of Ron and Lavender is really too fast. Thinking about what they have done, it is really

Anyway, this neighborhood is not suitable for doing that kind of thing, Ivan doesn't want to admire each other with Ron.

He led Hermione in another direction, and within a few steps, he heard an unpleasantly familiar voice.

"I don't understand why there is such a fuss, Igor."

"Severus, you can't pretend this didn't happen!" Karkaroff's voice sounded terrified and hoarse, as if afraid of being heard, "It's become more and more obvious over the past few months, He's growing in strength, unbelievably fast, and he's coming back soon, and I'm very worried right now, I can't deny it."

"Then run away, coward!" Snape's voice said impatiently, "run away, run away to where that man can never find you again, and I will excuse you, but I want to stay in Hoag Watts"

Wand in hand, he blasted the rosebush away.

Snape had a stern face with an ugly expression. There were screams from the surrounding bushes, and several dark figures jumped out of it.

"Ten off Ravenclaw, Fawcett!" said Snape fiercely. "Ten off Hufflepuff, Stebbins!"

A girl ran past him, and another boy chased the girl.

"What are you two doing?" He caught a glimpse of Ivan and Hermione standing on the path.

Karkaroff also saw them standing here, looking a little panicked.

He reached uneasily for his goatee, then wrapped it around his fingers again.

"We're going for a walk, Professor!" said Hermione, and they really didn't do anything.

To be precise, I haven't had time to do it yet.

"Then let's go for a walk, Miss Know-it-All, and deduct twenty points from Gryffindor!" Snape sneered.

He strode past them, his long black robe flowing behind him.

Karkaroff also hurried away with Snape, leaving only Ivan and Hermione standing on the dark path.

Now there is no one around, but neither of them is in the mood to do that kind of thing.

They were all thinking about the conversation between Snape and Karkaroff, and twenty points were deducted all of a sudden, which really spoiled the atmosphere.

"What the hell is going on, why is Karkaroff so worried?" Hermione said, "And when did he and Snape start calling each other by Christian names? They look familiar and seem to have a good relationship. "

Of course, after all, there are not many people who betrayed from the terrorist organization Death Eaters and are still alive.

At this critical moment on the eve of Voldemort's return, it was inevitable for the two of them to communicate.

According to Karkaroff, apart from the Dark Mark becoming more obvious, Voldemort's power is increasing, how did he do it, will he move with the group of vampires and Barty Crow Jr. Is it related to Qi's disappearance? ! (To be continued.) Browse and read address:
