Chapter 390 The illness is strange, I drank polyjuice for half a year

Outside the village of Hogsmeade, the four of them saw a familiar ominous figure, a big black dog.

"Hello, Sirius." Harry greeted.

The black dog walked up to Harry eagerly. The dog's nose kept sniffing his schoolbag, and its tail gradually started to wag.

"Hey! I'm so hungry!"

Black Dog nodded slightly and did not deny it.

The life of a murderer on the run is not easy. It's okay to hide somewhere else. Although it's a little harder, you can still get by.

But Hogsmeade is a wizarding village. His wanted notice has been posted here for a long time, and most people recognize him. In order not to attract other people's attention, he didn't even dare to enter the village.

This resulted in him having almost no food source, and he had to eat one meal every day.

The black dog turned around and was about to lead them to his hiding place.

"That's not necessary." Aaron handed him the invisibility cloak directly, "Let's change back first. It will be easier to eat."

The black dog got into the invisibility cloak, and soon changed back to human form, with only one hand exposed, and took Harry's backpack.

The sound of chewing food came from the side. Sirius said while eating, "I'm starving to death. I have been living by catching mice these days."

"At least they didn't starve to death," Aaron said. "There are many stray dogs that starve to death."

"It's better not to make such a joke." Sirius said speechlessly, "I came back specially this time because things are getting more and more complicated. I don't feel relieved if I don't come here in person."

"check it out."

He threw out two copies of the Daily Prophet, and the four of them immediately gathered to read them.

One was titled The Mystery of Barty Crouch's Disease, the other was The Ministry of Magic's Witches Still Missing.

"Is there any connection?" Hermione asked.

"Crouch is sick. This is something everyone knows." Ron said, "Percy is doing many things for him now. He is Barty Crouch's personal assistant."

"With all due respect, I don't see what's wrong." Aaron frowned, "As a public official, isn't it normal to take leave when sick?"

"That's true for other people." Sirius said while sipping the pumpkin juice, "But Barty Crouch is different. He never took a day off for himself because of illness.

But this time he not only took leave, but also took leave for several months. "

"If you put it that way...there is indeed a problem."

"The problem is not only that, Bertha Jorkins has not been found yet. She is Crouch's subordinate, and she also knows the news about the Triwizard Tournament."

"Crouch also fired Winky." Hermione said angrily, "That was his house elf, and now Winky works at Hogwarts."

"Barty Crouch's wife and son are long dead and he is alone.

But now he hasn't seen anyone for a long time, no one knows about his condition, his subordinates have been missing for a long time, and the servants have been fired. Fortunately, they all know the news about the Triwizard Tournament. "

"You mean..." Harry's expression changed slightly, "Voldemort..."

"Don't say his name." Ron said hurriedly.

"Okay! The mysterious man learned about the Triwizard Tournament from Crouch or someone related to him, and then secretly arranged for someone to throw my name into the Goblet of Fire."

"It's very possible," said Sirius, "but we need to make sure.

Ron, your brother is Crouch's personal assistant. Please ask him if he has seen Crouch recently. "

"I'll try my best!" Ron scratched his head, "Percy respects Crouch too much."

"That means it's not necessarily Karkaroff who threw my name into the Goblet of Fire." Harry frowned, "He is one of the three headmasters, and he must have known about the Goblet of Fire in advance."

"So the situation is complicated. Karkaroff was a Death Eater before. Although he was not imprisoned in Azkaban by betraying his companions, it is not ruled out that he wants to return to the mysterious man.

He may have acted independently and wanted to use your life as a gift, or it may have been arranged by a mysterious person to atone for his sins.

But it's also possible that You-Know-Who arranged for someone else to throw your name into the Goblet of Fire. "

"It makes no difference, they are all trying to kill me." Harry smiled mockingly, then seemed to think of something, and whispered: "Maybe it's Snape."

"Impossible." Aaron retorted unceremoniously, "Although Professor Snape's attitude towards you is a bit...different, there is absolutely no way he can harm you."

"That's right." Hermione agreed, "Dumbledore believes in Snape. If he wants to harm you, he has many opportunities. In the past few years..."

"The Dark Mark hasn't appeared in the past few years!" Harry interrupted her helplessly, "He didn't harm me before, maybe because the mysterious man lost power and he couldn't act under Dumbledore's nose. They can only try to embarrass me by changing the law.

But now that the Dark Mark has appeared, maybe the time is right for him.

The most important thing is...Karkaroff and Snape are old acquaintances, and Aaron and I saw what they were arguing about when we went to his private storage room. "

"It's really interesting." Aaron sneered, "Just because of this, you doubt Professor Snape?

Harry Potter, how many times have you suspected that Professor Snape wants to harm you? "

Harry was speechless for a moment. It seemed like he would suspect Snape every time something happened, but it wasn't him every time.

"Well... I don't think it was Snape who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire." Sirius said thoughtfully, "It might just be a coincidence that he and Karkaroff knew each other. If he is really a mysterious person, If he were to serve, Dumbledore would never let him teach at Hogwarts.”

"Did you hear that?" Aaron rolled his eyes at Harry, "Even if you don't believe Professor Snape, you should still believe Dumbledore!"

"Mr. Black, is there anything else you want to tell us?" Hermione asked.

"That's it for now, find Barty Crouch, he might know something.

Also, if you write a letter, just send it to me here, so that I can keep informed of any unusual situations at any time, but you cannot leave Hogwarts to visit me, as it would be too dangerous if someone tries to attack Harry. "

"Danger?" Harry smiled bitterly, "What could be more dangerous than the fire dragon and Grindylow?"

"The third project." Sirius reminded solemnly, "The first two projects did not kill you, so the third project is your last chance.

The third project will be very dangerous, you must not be careless. "

"I know." Harry nodded seriously.

"At least you'll be safe until the third project starts." Aaron teased, "There are more than three months in between for you to have a good rest."

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Harry's face.

That's what he said, but he didn't dare to think so.

Having enough time is all an illusion, and the second project has already taught him enough lessons.

If he was not prepared in advance, the third project might really kill him, and he would not be naive enough to think that Dobby could help him again.

"Okay, it's time for you to go back to school.

If you guys talk about me just call me 'cold'. "

After he finished speaking, the schoolbag was stuffed into Harry's arms, but the food inside was swept away, leaving only a few bones and two empty bottles.

Sirius turned back into the black dog. Harry put away the invisibility cloak that had fallen on the ground, waved to the black dog, and turned back to Hogwarts Castle.

...

Shenming Palace.

Aaron shared his memories with the missing body.

"It can't be Professor Snape, nor can it be Karkaroff." The missing body said very firmly, "If nothing else, Voldemort should have sent someone to infiltrate Hogwarts."

"So sure?"

"I still remember Professor Snape said that the African tree snake skin and lacewings were missing. It seems that someone is really preparing the polyjuice potion."

"My reasoning skills are great!"

The missing body rolled its eyes speechlessly, and said resentfully: "In addition to taking two elective courses, I am practicing magic in the Shenming Palace. It is inevitable that you would not think about other things."

Aaron smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject: "The question is who is this person?"

"I don't know." The missing person spread his hands wordlessly, "We don't have any suspects now. This person is very smart and cautious, and he has left no flaws.

He should have imprisoned a person, and used that person's hair or nails to continuously make Polyjuice Potion, perfectly infiltrating Hogwarts. "

"What a ruthless person!" Aaron exclaimed, "This person may have integrated into the school before the Goblet of Fire. Assuming it was the first day of school...

I was obedient and drank Polyjuice Potion for half a year. "

"This time will continue to extend, and he should not appear before the third project."

Aaron was noncommittal, and the other party threw Harry Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire, obviously intending to use the Triwizard Tournament to kill him.

The first two projects were accidents. One was Professor Moody reminding Harry to use the broomstick, and the other was Dobby stealing the gillyweed. But in the third project, the other party absolutely couldn't hold back. If it failed again, there might even be danger. Might end up in person.

"Poor Harry Potter, every year is so miserable."

"We should be thankful that he is still alive. Without this shield, we may have to enjoy similar treatment."

"That's true, his misfortune is his business and has nothing to do with me." Aaron said, but soon a wry smile appeared on his face, "According to Adrian's request, I had to do it for the last project. Other warriors protect him, which means I have to protect Harry Potter."

The missing body shrugged, "Even without eldest sister's request, we can't let him die."

"I know, but I feel inexplicably unhappy." Aaron said angrily and helplessly, "And this means that we may have to face the person who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire."

"That's okay." The missing body said in a slower tone, "As long as we don't face Voldemort head-on, there is nothing to be afraid of. His Death Eaters will not be our opponents."
