Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

After the examination of the therapists, a conclusion was finally drawn.

It was determined that the old Barty Crouch's state was under the Imperius Curse, and it was to a very serious degree. The caster forcibly controlled it, causing his brain to suffer a certain degree of damage.

After discussions among members of the Wizengamot, Barty Crouch Sr. was not escorted to Azkaban in the end, but he was relieved of all his duties in the Ministry of Magic and fully accepted the treatment of the therapists.

Wait until the treatment results come out, and then find out the real prisoner.

Chapter 260 258 Poor little Ronnie

What happened at the Quidditch World Cup is a far-reaching event for adult wizards, but for the young wizards at Hogwarts, this is just a small episode, a small adjustment in life.

After all, not every young wizard thinks about his future before graduation.

For them, this event is not as important as what will happen in two days.

Well, Hogwarts starts in two days.

Now Harry and others have come to the fourth year of Hogwarts, half of their college career has passed.

The ancient castle in Gedric Valley was once again taken care of by two old wizards, Pipilu and Lu Xixi. They have officially become the housekeepers of the ancient castle and decided to spend the rest of their lives in the ancient castle in a semi-retirement style. For most of their lives, a stable and good living environment may be a good choice.

After putting away the textbooks and packing the things they were going to carry into their bags, the little wizards arrived at the Kingdom Cross platform on time as usual.

This time, the passage was not inexplicably closed, there were no house-elves blocking it, and there were no nasty dementors on the way to invade, and they arrived at Hogwarts Station very smoothly.

Riding in a carriage that only second graders and above can ride, they headed for the castle.

This time, in addition to the usual group of six, there was also a little witch with a trance-like temperament on board.

Luna Lovegood.

On the night of Dudley's second grade, they met the little witch running around the castle with bare feet.

Now she has passed the test and became a member of the disciplinary team.

She was discussing something with Hermione.

But judging by the dialogue of the conversation, it was not very pleasant.

Hermione is a logicist through and through. Everything starts from logic and speaks with facts. For example, she will speak with evidence when catching criminals.Luna, on the other hand, belongs to the category with amazing intuition. What stands out is that she is unreasonable. Most of the time, she does things in my opinion. For example, when catching criminals, she will directly name the criminals and act according to her feelings.

Fortunately, the two have different philosophies, but it does not affect their relationship. The same experience at Hogwarts (referring to bullying) laid a solid foundation for their relationship.

Each other is each other's best friends (referring to the same sex).

Pulling the carriage is a magical creature called thestrals, which have a magical property that can only be seen by those who have seen death.Because of this, it was once considered a symbol of bad luck.

It is said that it will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see them.

In fact, the ominousness and disaster itself has nothing to do with the Thestrals, just like the disaster beast Absol in Pokémon, it is purely a hat.

It was a scrawny black pegasus with the head of a dragon and huge bat wings.

In all fairness, Dudley thought they had a peculiar beauty.

Don't look at them as thin as bones, but their strength is much greater than that of ordinary horses, even the Hippogriff can't match it.

But it's a pity that even thestrals can't fly Dudley.

The carriage that Dudley was riding in took five Thestrals to pull it. The other carriages were only driven by one Thestral.

Even so, the speed is slower than other carriages.

It was already very late when several people arrived at Hogwarts, and they were the latest to arrive among the senior years except the first year.

The corridors of the castle are wet everywhere, and since they are all made of smooth marble, the soles of the feet are a bit slippery when walking on them.

It's Peeves, and this guy is hitting people around with a water balloon.

Regular pranks, his favorite thing to do.

Professor McGonagall was yelled at by it, but there was no special way.

"Stop! Stop! The first-year students will arrive in a while."

But who is Peeves?It will not give up the idea of ​​​​pranking for some new students.

The main reason is that the composition of Peeves is really too strange. It is not a human, a ghost, or a magical creature. It is almost the same age as Hogwarts, and it is one of the most mysterious existences in Hogwarts.

Sometimes you can deal with it the same way you deal with ghosts, a small spell can subdue it, sometimes not to mention the way to deal with ghosts, even Dumbledore has nothing to do with it, unless it takes the initiative to give you face , otherwise it won't work for anyone, it's like turning it on.

The most troublesome existence in Hogwarts is not just talking.

Obviously, today's Peeves is a Peeves who has been buffed with invincibility, and Professor McGonagall has nothing to do with him.

Peeves' perfect water polo attack drenched the little witch not far away.

That embarrassed look made Peeves giggle.

Fortunately, it is not a pervert, in front of it, wizards and witches are the same.

Just as Peeves was about to drop the second water polo, a voice sounded behind him.

"Mr. Peeves, what are you doing?"

Hearing this sound, Peeves was taken aback, and instinctively hid the water polo behind his back, but unfortunately its body was transparent, and the water polo in his hand was too big to block it at all.

"Oh, it's Mr. Dursley."

"Nothing."

Peeves slapped haha ​​and said with a guilty conscience.

Dudley didn't talk nonsense with it, and went straight to the point: "The prank ends here, is that okay, Mr. Peeves?"

"Everyone likes an obedient Peeves."

"Well, since Mr. Dursley said so."

A look of unwillingness flashed across Peeves' face, but he still obeyed Dudley's words.

Dudley's words were more effective than the bloody Barrow on Peeves. Many young wizards wanted to know the reason for this, but it was a pity that Dudley never told the second person.

Peeves let go of the water polo with a face full of regret, and the water polo fell vertically, hitting Ron's face, who was stretching his neck and looking up.

Poor child, originally just wanted to watch a play, but turned into a drowned chicken in an instant.

Ron: ? ? ?

I am special.

Didn't you say it was a prank?

Peeves promised not to cause trouble again, and Professor McGonagall, who rushed over, was relieved. She chose to ignore Ron's last slap. Who told you to stand so straight directly under Peeves? Waving the magic wand to clean up the water stains on the ground, he walked to the gate and waited for the arrival of this freshman.

The auditorium is still the same auditorium. It is magnificent, with countless lighted candles floating in the sky, and the transparent ceiling can see the beautiful scenery outside the window.

It's just that there is one more vacancy in the professor's seat, and the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is not in the position.

Last year, when Professor Lu Ping told us that he could not teach everyone for the second year, many little wizards expressed their pity.

After all, he was the most reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the past three years.

Well, the substitute teacher (Dudley) doesn't count.

Chapter 261 259 That Magic Eye Can See Through Clothes

It began to rain outside the castle, and soon the light rain turned into heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning and strong wind from time to time.

But this has no effect on the little wizards sitting inside the castle.

The sorting ceremony ended soon, and Dumbledore didn't seem to intend to wait for the newly arrived wizard, and announced the start of the meal.

Portions of exquisite, delicious, and steaming food emerged from the long table one by one.

These are made by the house-elves at Hogwarts Castle.

When Dudley cut a piece of lamb chops and was about to enjoy it, the door of the restaurant was pushed open roughly.

All the teachers and students looked out the door in unison.

A wizard with slightly thinning hair, who looked a bit elderly, appeared outside the door of the restaurant, wet all over, and looked like he had been drenched in a lot of rain.

He was leaning on a heavy crutch in his hand, and every time he touched the ground, he could make a dull sound, leaving a pool of water stains.

His eye is precisely the one on the left, not to mention protruding outwards, looking around 360 degrees like a monitor, looking very scary.

His face looked bruised and rotten, especially a large piece of flesh was missing from the nose.

Mad-Eye Moody, a former Auror. An old wizard who once made great achievements for the Ministry of Magic. He captured half of the prisoners in Azkaban himself.

There was no expression on Moody's face, neither joy nor anger, exuding the aura of no one allowed in, he limped towards the professor's seat in front of all the teachers and students without paying attention.

The little wizards, especially the newly registered first graders, were intimidated by his aura and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Hermione, it's getting cold in here. Put this on."

The moment the one-eyed wizard opened the door, Dudley thoughtfully put on a coat for Hermione.

The reason.

According to the setting, Mad-Eye Moody's strangely moving left eye is not a normal eyeball, but an artificial magic eye.

Able to see everything around him, through walls, clothing, the back of his own head, and even an invisibility cloak.

Theoretically speaking, all the little wizards present were naked in front of him.

Fortunately, this guy is not a wretched character, let alone a gentleman (transformer).

Hmm. The current guy playing the role of 'Moody' is probably just crazy too.

Moody glanced around, and finally paused for half a second when his eyes fell on Dudley, to be precise, on him and Hermione.

His 'magic eyes' that could see through the camouflage failed unexpectedly.

Moody didn't know why this happened, but it was obviously not the time to talk about this, so Dumbledore walked away immediately after looking around.

Dumbledore stepped forward to greet this 'old friend' warmly.

If it is not that there is no candidate, he is actually not willing to invite this old friend out of the mountain. At his current age, staying at home and resting is the best choice

Well, the main reason is because Moody's takes things to extremes.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Alastor Moody, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"If anyone in the senior class wants to become an Auror, everyone can learn from Professor Moody."

With Dumbledore's introduction, there was thunderous applause in the restaurant.

Moody's unique appearance has attracted the attention of many young wizards.

Many young wizards who knew about his deeds began to discuss everything below.

A model among the elite wizards among the Aurors, he has made countless contributions to the Ministry of Magic throughout his life, and has captured too many dark wizards to count.

Many young wizards were excited, especially the group of Gryffindors who wanted to catch the dark wizard with Moody, and determined to become an Auror after graduation.

But the strong is the strong and the strong is the strong. Whether it will teach people is another matter.

Everyone is curious about the teaching methods of the new professor and former elite Auror.

As long as it is [-]% of Professor Lu Ping's level, no, as long as it is [-]%.

The little wizards have lowered the professor's request again and again.

How could the worst professor compare to Lockhart?

Fourth grade Defense Against the Dark Arts is on Friday mornings, with a full week of other subjects in between.

Charms class, Transfiguration class, etc. are fine for the time being, the same gestures, detailed explanations of tones, basically nothing special except for learning new spells.

But the content of the protection of magical beasts class in the afternoon was quite exciting.

Hagrid has brought in a bunch of weird creatures.

It's sticky, white and gray, and it's hard to see where the head is. It's a creature like a shelled lobster.

The most important thing is that this thing exudes a smell of rotten fish and shrimp all the time.

Fried snails.
