Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 601 Was Discovered
Karkaroff opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

The powder of the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake. Harry blinked and it was not difficult to guess that this was the raw material of a potion. Moreover, the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, so he turned his head He lowered himself a little and looked at Hermione in confusion.

"Polyjuice Potion--"

Hermione also had a surprised look on her face. She saw what Harry was wondering about, so she gestured with her lips and spoke out the answer.

The two people exchanged glances silently, and both noticed the surprise in each other's eyes. This was a possibility they had never considered, polyjuice potion. This was indeed a good idea to hide their identity, and it was definitely not difficult to implement, as long as Quietly following the hair of a senior Hogwarts student from the Great Hall during dinner, you can justifiably approach the Goblet of Fire and put Hermione's name into it!

So, could it be Karkaroff?If it was him, then why did he choose Hermione?

The two people lying on the ground subconsciously relaxed their breathing.

"I understand."

Karkaroff closed his mouth and glared at Snape angrily.
"You are here to test me, right, Severus, who asked you to do this, Dumbledore or Brian, you must have told them your guess, right? They are investigating this matter. No, no it doesn't matter, Severus, you have completely served them now?"

"You answer my question first!"

Snape was unmoved. He still stared coldly into Igor's eyes, holding the wand tightly in his hand and his figure low.

"This has nothing to do with me, Severus, I, Durmstrang, am also a victim!"

Karkaroff gritted his teeth and said,
"Do you need me to swear in the name of the Dark Lord?"

Snape's brows twitched fiercely, but his posture relaxed a lot. Obviously, he knew how much weight these words had for Igor Karkaroff.

"It's so funny--"

In an instant, Snape's expression of hostility and cold smile turned lazy. He put his wand back into his pocket and sneered at Karkaroff,

"You actually dare to mention the Dark Lord. With all due respect, Igor, based on the things you have done, if the Dark Lord comes back, you will inevitably die."

Snape didn't want to break up with Karkaroff. After saying this, he turned and walked towards the castle. However, Karkaroff, who was frightened by his unintentional words just now, suddenly chased after him. He went up, grabbed Snape and said angrily,
"Go back and tell those two despicable guys, Brian and Dumbledore, and tell them clearly, don't think they are the only ones who can doubt me. I will also investigate them!"

"I will take care of it -" Snape withdrew his hand, with a sarcastic curve on his lips, "Do you have any other instructions, Igor? If not, I suggest you return to your home as soon as possible." On that ship, this school is full of Dumbledore’s spies.”

Both Harry and Hermione thought that the secret conversation was over. However, Durmstrang's headmaster, Professor Karkaroff, suddenly changed his face. His previous angry and aggrieved expression no longer existed. He showed a smooth and friendly face, as if the person who had just been wronged was not himself.

"Don't be in a hurry, dear old fellow!"

Karkaroff smiled and even put his arm around Snape's shoulders. Snape just glanced at him in disgust but did not refuse.
"There is something, maybe you can help me. I heard, Severus, Amosta Blaine graduated from the academy you are responsible for. I heard that you have always had a good relationship?"

Snape just looked at him sideways and said nothing.

"Look - can you, old man, when you tell Brian that it wasn't me who put that silly girl's name into the Goblet of Fire, ask him about the first event of the game. What you should do is No, you doubted me, doubted an old friend of yours for many years, which hurt my heart, and you need to make some amends--"

Shameless!
Harry and Hermione were so angry that they almost jumped up. This guy had just threatened to investigate Professor Blaine, but now, he actually wanted Snape to help him go to Professor Blaine to inquire about the project!
Hermione's cheeks turned red with anger. During the day, when Sirius told them that Igor Karkaroff was once a Death Eater, they were more surprised. But now, she had witnessed this scene with her own eyes. Realize how bad this person’s character is!
Harry and Hermione had similar thoughts, but he gave Hermione a look.Durmstrang's headmaster actually offered to help his warriors cheat, so accepting a little extra help from Hagrid wasn't a big deal.

They stretched their ears to hear what Snape had to say, but at this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the marble steps outside the hall, frightening both of them to the point where their hearts jumped to their throats.

"You were caught red-handed, weren't you!"

A very personal voice shouted, and then, there was a heavy knocking sound on the stairs.

What a dramatic scene - even Hermione couldn't help but think so, and Harry even had a gloating smile on his lips.

Moody's limping down the stairs did not affect his turbulent momentum. His blue magic eye seemed to be spitting out of its socket, glaring fiercely at Snape and Karkaroff, with a ferocious scar on his cheek. Like a centipede writhing.What you should be wary of is--
Harry looked at Snape and Karkaroff and thought maliciously.It's no surprise that Moody is here.Even though he has retired, Moody still maintains the same vigilance as when he was an Auror. He is used to patrolling the campus after dark, and even often helps Hagrid patrol the Forbidden Forest.

Looking at Moody walking quickly, Karkaroff even had the urge to run away. No, it was not just an impulse, he had already made a practical response. He took a step back with one leg and half twisted his body. If Snape hadn't caught him, he might have fled.

As for Snape, he was much calmer than Karkaroff, but when facing Moody, his face was also slightly pale.

"What do you mean, Moody, we were just talking--"

For some reason, Professor Moody suddenly stumbled in his steps, but he quickly adjusted his body stability and walked to Snape and Karkaroff with a grin.

"Talk, lie, Snape!"

Moody mercilessly debunked this statement, "Two Death Eaters who narrowly escaped Azkaban, stayed in the yard in the dark, braving the cold wind to avoid the crowd, just to reminisce about old times, what are you talking about, communicating and avoiding the law? experience. Or, we are planning a new conspiracy!"

It was obviously one-on-two, but Harry had the illusion that Snape and Karkaroff were surrounded by Professor Moody, because Professor Moody's current momentum was indeed very scary.

"Tell me!" Professor Moody roared, "Tell me everything honestly, or I will take you to Dumbledore!"

"You madman -" Karkaroff stumbled back and gasped, "What we say about our freedom, Moody, has nothing to do with you. I have been deemed innocent by the Ministry of Magic. , you are not qualified to tell me what to do-"

"Oh, really!"

Moody sneered,

"Maybe you have washed away some of your stains by betraying your 'compatriots', but you have done a lot of dirty and obscene things. Karkaroff, tell me some, and let me see if you have made any progress. For example, you The trick of throwing Miss Hermione Granger's name into the Goblet of Fire is quite good. It really surprises me that your magic power has improved a lot compared to more than ten years ago, and you can actually deceive the Goblet of Fire!"

"You are crazy!"

Karkaroff was right in everything he said. He stared at Professor Moody in horror, staggered back, and finally turned around and ran into the darkness and fled!

Compared to the fact that Karkaroff actually escaped from Moody, what surprised Harry and Hermione even more was that Professor Moody did not catch up with him and allowed him to escape.

"coward!"

Moody took a sip of contempt, and then turned to look at Snape, whose face was gradually turning blue.

"You look much braver, Snape. Tell me something interesting!"

"I have nothing to say—"

Snape gasped several times, and it was obvious that Moody was putting a lot of pressure on him. He pursed his thin lips tightly,
"If you have any doubts about me, go to Dumbledore!"

With that said, Snape wrapped his black robe tightly, like a bat with its wings, then walked around Moody and walked quickly towards the castle, disappearing into the foyer.

In the blink of an eye, there was no sound of conversation in the place where you and I were walking around. Only the cold wind like a knife was blowing desperately. Harry stared at Professor Moody who was more than ten meters away and watched Snape walk into the foyer, filled with admiration in his heart. He could actually frighten Karkaroff and Snape into running away. At the same time, some people were also confused and confused that Professor Moody let them go so easily?Shouldn't he interrogate them?

Harry was thinking, and even Hermione felt that something was wrong. In terms of Professor Moody's previous momentum, he should not let them leave, and the next second, Professor Moody's sudden voice startled Harry and Hermione. Got sluggish.

"Oh, the weather is really cold, and it's not pleasant to lie down in the mud. Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, why don't you stand up and talk?"
