Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 664: The New Mad-Eye Moody

Evan soon knew what the difference between the fake Moody Caresius and the fake Moody Barty Crouch Jr. was. 

He continued the teaching style of Caresius, allowing students to experience Dark magic as much as possible, but his methods became crueler.

He began to use various Dark magic attacks on students in the classroom, asking them to try their best to resist and dodge.

This made Moody get higher praise among the students, and everyone was amazed at his courses.

But every time he confronted Barty Crouch Jr., Evan wondered if he would kill him, because he was seriously attacking him with well aimed attacks, not as practice-oriented as he did to other students.

Evan ignored all Bartemius Crouch, Jr.’s provocations and did not fight him, but simply dodged.

Outside the class, he was as far away as possible from him, not willing to contact this madman.

At the end of the week, Barty Crouch Jr., fake Moody, praised Harry’s performance. He thought that Harry had the potential to become an Auror, and this evaluation delighted Harry for a long time.

In contrast, Crouch Jr. unreservedly expressed his dislike for a group of Slytherin students, such as Malfoy.

Now, as soon as he heard Moody’s name, Malfoy’s face turned pale and his reaction was very unnatural.

Compared with his dislike of Malfoy, Barty Crouch Jr.’s hatred of Snape, Karkaroff and other former Death Eaters was pure.

It was not the hatred feigned by Caresius, but deep hatred.

Caresius might have had a dispute with Karkaroff and Durmstrang over the interests of the Nordic region, but it was not fatal.

Barty Crouch Jr. showed true hatred and could not wait to kill all these traitors. This morbid hatred was even above his hatred of Dumbledore, Evan and other enemies of Voldemort.

After he made sure there might be something wrong with Moody after the loss of Gillyweed, Snape tested him again.

Bartemius Crouch, Jr.’s response was very simple and crude, very direct, but really effective. He dragged Snape to Dumbledore’s office to make a noise, and rudely searched Snape’s office again.

It was not known what Dumbledore said to Snape, but his face was gloomy and horrible these days, and no one dared to approach him.

The day after the search of Snape’s office, Barty Crouch Jr. talked to Karkaroff alone.

In the face of Barty Crouch Jr.’s oppression and strength, Karkaroff’s performance was extremely unbearable.

He began to contact Snape frequently, but Snape kept avoiding him, which made Karkaroff panic even more.

At dinner on Friday night, Harry, Ron, and Hermione told Evan that they had seen Karkaroff in the morning Potions class when he broke into the classroom. Karkaroff interrupted Snape’s lecture just to have a word with him.

“Not long after the Potions class began, he broke in,” said Harry, recalling the scene at the time. “He hovered behind Snape’s desk for the rest of the double period. He seemed intent on preventing Snape from slipping away at the end of class.”

“Did Karkaroff show great urgency?” Evan asked, tapping the table gently with his fingers.

“Yeah, you didn’t see what Karkaroff was like,” said Hermione. “He kept twisting his finger around his goatee, and he looked agitated. It was strange. What made him so worried? He and Snape…”

“Snape and Karkaroff are very familiar with each other, but they don’t want others to know about it,” said Ron.

“Evan, you should have seen that look on Snape’s face when Karkaroff broke into Potions class!” Harry said quickly. “I made an excuse to stay and see what Karkaroff wanted to say to Snape. He said that Snape had been avoiding him. Karkaroff was very worried. He showed Snape something on his forearm, but I did not see what it was…”

“Oh!” Evan knew it must be Karkaroff’s Dark Mark, considering that Snape also frequently seized his forearm that night. He was beginning to worry, which was not a good sign.

The frequent pain caused by the Dark Mark meant that Voldemort had been doing something lately, and it was really getting urgent.

At the same time, his power was growing fast to strengthen the connection with the Death Eaters.

Although Voldemort had not yet got Harry’s blood to complete the evil magic, his power was still increasing rapidly. He certainly got a new source of power. Unicorn’s blood and potions certainly didn’t have such a strong effect.

Would the new and powerful source of power be the power he got from the evil god? Or was it that he had reached an agreement with the evil god?

Thinking of this, Evan began to worry about Caresius’s situation. What would he do after he went back?! Was it a tit-for-tat fight with Voldemort, or a new settlement?!

All in all, the new Barty Crouch Jr. had made Hogwarts a mess. 

The recent bad news had also made Evan nervous. Voldemort and the evil god were not opponents to be underestimated.

After dinner, he was ready to go to the library to look through the data and study Ravenclaw’s Diadem that he had just got.

Hermione went with him, and Harry and Ron were still talking about the morning.

The two of them, of course, did not have any results. Ron finally suggested that Harry write to Sirius about this.

At about eight o’clock in the evening, the letter from Sirius was brought back by Hedwig.

He told Harry not to use Owl Mail to talk about these things because it was not safe. He asked Harry and Ron to wait for him in front of the fireplace in the Common Room at midnight, and he would meet them at Hogwarts via the Floo network.

When Evan and Hermione came back, they saw Harry and Ron standing in front of the fire.

They thought that if there were so many people in a moment, they would throw a Dungbomb to make sure the meeting would not be shown up.

Fortunately, after a busy week of classes, everyone was very tired and went to bed early.

By the time it was close to zero, there were only the four of them in the Common Room.

Because he had just met Sirius last week, Evan did not expect any useful news from him. Voldemort was too cunning to get spotted by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.

In contrast, Evan was looking forward to a breakthrough from Caresius’s side.

They were whispering, and now the room was in semidarkness; the flames in the fireplace were the only source of light.

Just after midnight, Harry jumped out of his chair.

He saw Sirius’s head sitting right in the fire with a smile on his face.
