Chapter 167 Summary

On this day, Kewen received a letter from Dumbledore's "patron saint", and the note he sent had this week's password - dragon.

Ke Wen hesitated for a moment, then apologized to the admirers who were clinging to him, and went to the principal's office.

After passing the password stairs, there was a knock on the office door.

After being greeted by Dumbledore into the office, Cowan finds that Sirius Black is actually there.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Principal, good afternoon, Bly, Mr. Sirius."

Hearing the way Kewen addressed him, Sirius couldn't help showing a happy smile, took a few steps forward, opened his arms and hugged Kewen intimately.

"Good afternoon Kewen."

After Sirius stepped back, he looked at Cowen with admiration and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming a warrior representing Hogwarts."

"Thank you." Cowen thanked politely.

After finishing speaking, Kewen looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Mr. Headmaster, is there anything you asked me to do?"

"Peter Pettigrew has escaped!"

Dumbledore was very direct: "During the holidays, the Death Eaters made a riot on the Quidditch arena, so boy, we need your smart riot, and your opinion on these things!"

"This..." Kewen was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Sorry sir, I don't have much information, so..."

Seeing Kewen's embarrassment, Dumbledore waved his hand dismissively and encouraged: "It doesn't matter the child, we also have no clue now, so we need to use your inspirational ideas to break the game."

"Okay." Kewen nodded, then looked at Sirius: "Since you have come to the academy, you must have brought news other than prison escape and Death Eaters?"

"Merlin's wisdom!"

Sirius sighed as if gasping for breath, and then looked at Dumbledore with a smile in his eyes.

Turning to look at Kewen again, Sirius nodded and said, "Yes, I also brought something about Harry."

"Can you talk about it?" Kewen said, "The more information, the better my conclusion."

"Of course!" Sirius has completely admired Kewen's performance,

So he immediately said: "It's a nightmare about Harry. He dreamed about Voldemort and the mouse Peter during his vacation, and another person and a giant python, but the third person Harry didn't know."

After changing his breath, Sirius continued: "In a dream, Voldemort killed an old Muggle with the Death Curse, and then ordered a third man to capture Harry."

To show that this message was not an ordinary nightmare, Sirius went on to explain: "Harry had dreamed about Voldemort before, but it was just an ordinary nightmare, and this time is different, Harry his scar is after the nightmare. Severe pain!"

"The kid never told anyone about it until recently in a letter he wrote to me."

Sirius sighed worriedly for Harry, and then said, "That's why I came to the academy just now to inform Mr. Principal of the situation."

"Dream prediction?"

Kewen had already guessed the details based on the information, but he deliberately said a guiding sentence.

"No, that's not a prophecy."

Sure enough, Dumbledore was induced to speak, and after being silent for a while, he continued, "Harry's situation is very special, either, it's time to talk to you."

Next, Dumbledore explained in detail how Harry was protected by his mother's spell, and how he relied on that loving spell to reverse Voldemort's death curse.

In the end, Dumbledore explained to Corvin that he could be sure that a small fragment of Voldemort's soul was now hidden in Harry's body because of the backlash of the Death Curse.

In other words, Harry is actually a Horcrux of Voldemort.

After all, Kewen helped a lot, so Dumbledore didn't hide anything this time, and explained Voldemort's Horcrux in detail.

After listening to Kewen, he began to think in silence.

Combining all the information, he guessed that Voldemort's resurrection today must have consumed a Horcrux.

Of course, the so-called resurrection may still be like the original Professor Rocky, but it is only a state of remnant soul possession.

This makes sense.

No wonder those Death Eaters dared to come out and make a fuss about Quidditch during the holidays. No wonder this year Harry was chosen as a warrior by the Goblet of Fire as in the original plot.

It was all because of Voldemort's return that the Death Eaters had the backbone and the original plot remained unchanged.

And Principal Karkaroff of the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as in the original plot, used the Confusion Charm on the Goblet of Fire, successfully making Harry the fourth warrior.

In Cowen's thinking, Dumbledore and Sirius kept quiet one after another, for fear of making a little movement that would interfere with Cowen's thinking.

Seeing the sometimes puzzled and sometimes stunned expression on Kewen's face, Dumbledore and Sirius' mood also went up and down.

Every time they saw Kewen's stunned look, they couldn't help showing surprise and anticipation at the same time.

After a while, Kewen finished summarizing the information, raised his head, and met Dumbledore's expectant look.

"We come message by message." Cowen was ready to express his opinion.

"Of course!" Dumbledore quickly waved his hand and called a chair for Kewen: "Sit down, we have plenty of time."

Ke Wen nodded, stepped forward and took his seat, and then said, "There are three guesses about Peter Pettigrew's escape."

Dumbledore's face became solemn, and he straightened his waist subconsciously: "Please speak!"

"The first guess." Cowan said: "He may have escaped from prison by means of 'animal transformation', just like Sirius."

Dumbledore nodded: "We also have this guess."

"Second guess." Kewen continued: "There are Death Eaters from the outside, or from the inside and outside, to release Peter Pettigrew."

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully and slowly, taking the guess in mind.

"The last guess is unfavorable." Cowan sighed and said: "Although it is a bit bizarre, I guess it is possible that the dementors of 'Azkaban' have already stood on Voldemort's side. ?"

"This..." Dumbledore's eyes widened in surprise.

"How is this possible!?" Sirius exclaimed, "How can a Dementor..."

"Don't think they have any bottom line." Kewen shook his head and said in a low voice: "Imagine if you are a Dementor, if someone tells you, you can eat without restrictions... "

After imagining the hypothesis put forward by Cowen, Sirius was suddenly stunned, and even Dumbledore couldn't help but suddenly clenched his hands into fists.

"Let's move on to other information."

Cowen did not leave much time for the two of them to think, and continued: "Whether it was Harry's nightmare, or Peter Pettigrew's escape, or even the emergence of those Death Eaters, in the end there can only be one reason. "

After a pause, Cowen confirmed Dumbledore's concerns: "Voldemort must have used other Horcruxes and returned again!"

Kewen finally concluded: "Only in this way will those Death Eaters have the courage to cause trouble."

The office suddenly became silent.

After a while, Dumbledore sighed, and then said: "Although I had expected it, I never imagined that Voldemort would return so early."

"Harry is dangerous."

Cowen suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately attracted the attention of Dumbledore and Sirius.

"We guess so, too." Dumbledore said expectantly: "But there is no clue as to how the crisis will come, boy, have you thought of anything?"

"Principal Karkaroff, Professor Moody!" Cowen said two names.

Dumbledore was a little stunned, and said subconsciously: "Alastor is our loyal partner, although Karkaroff was a Death Eater a long time ago, but..."

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Kewen shook his head and said, "This year, there are only two principals and one Professor Moody who have come to the academy. If anyone wants to harm Harry, it will naturally come from the three of them. among them."

Cowen did not give Dumbledore time to think, and continued: "The characteristics of Principal Maxim and Principal Karkaroff are too obvious to match the third person in Harry's nightmare, otherwise Harry would not be able to recognize Can't come out."

"So, the person who made Harry selected by the Goblet of Fire was either Principal Karkaroff or Professor Moody."

"And my guess is that the person who will eventually capture Harry and dedicate it to Voldemort will not be Headmaster Karkaroff."

The hint was obvious, but the result was very difficult for Dumbledore to accept.

For a long time, Mad-Eye Moody has fought on the front line with the Death Eaters, participating in various struggles, and Mad-Eye Moody's body is covered with scars.

A large piece of nose was missing, a leg was missing, an eyeball was replaced, and there were all kinds of ugly scars on the skin.

And most importantly, Mad-Eye Moody has always stood firmly on Dumbledore's side and is the backbone of Dumbledore's camp.

Therefore, Dumbledore also reciprocates the other's complete trust.

Hearing Cowen's doubts now makes it difficult for Dumbledore to accept the result.

Seeing Dumbledore's entanglement, Kewen reminded again: "I found that Professor Moody has a metal jug that never leaves him."

With that said, Kewen turned his head to look at Sirius, who had been acting like a fool in the audience, and continued: "If only there was such a jug last year, at least I can help you make those 'compound decoctions' and save money. A lot of crystal bottles."

As soon as the words fell, Dumbledore suddenly raised his eyes, his face was shocked.

Sirius also recalled his taste, and said incredulously: "You mean... Mad-Eye was disguised by someone else using 'Fufang Decoction'?"

"I think this has a high chance." Cowen admitted, and then suggested to Dumbledore: "Sir, for insurance, you may be able to observe it with 'Intake Spiritual Mind'."

"No." Dumbledore sighed, took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and then said, "I read Harry's thoughts, and they were there at the time, but I didn't hear them."

Obviously, both Principal Karkaroff and Professor Moody maintain Occlumency at all times.

The office became silent again, Dumbledore was concentrating on thinking about things, and Sirius was a reckless character, making it difficult for him to think about those twists and turns, so he obediently chose to be a listener.

Cowen is also thinking.

But he was thinking about Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Voldemort and the snake appear in Harry Potter's dream, which represents the appearance of Voldemort's two Horcruxes.

Counting Harry, plus the remnant soul that was destroyed by Dumbledore, and the notebook, there were already five Horcruxes.

The remaining two, as far as Kewen knew, the Horcrux in the 'House of Requirement' was safe for the time being.

During the holiday, the reason why he accepted Sirius' invitation was to confirm whether the Horcrux left in Sirius' house was still there.

At that time, he used 'Intake Spiritual Mind' unknown, and read the result from the mind of the elf named Kreacher.

The 'Slytherin Pendant', which was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, is indeed still in that house.

Combining all the information and comparing the memory data, Kewen finally determined that Voldemort's return this time must have borrowed the Horcrux from the 'Hufflepuff Gold Cup'.

The whole thread became clear.

As a Death Eater loyal to Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr. was dumped out of the Azkaban prison by his doting mother. When he escaped from the prison, he rescued Peter Pettigrew, who could turn into a mouse.

Then, through the information obtained from other Death Eater inmates, Barty Crouch Jr managed to get the 'Hufflepuff Gold Cup'.

In the end, Voldemort's remnant soul returned from the "Golden Cup Horcrux".

Next, Barty Crouch Jr took orders from Voldemort and attacked the real Mad-Eye Moody.

He used the 'Compound Decoction' to transform into the other party's appearance, and sneaked into Hogwarts, ready to take the opportunity to capture Harry and present it to Voldemort.

After straightening everything out, Kewen continued to ponder, and plans appeared in his mind...

I don't know how long it took, Dumbledore came back to his senses first, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you child, you never disappoint, and once again gave us such an amazing help."

Interrupted by the voice, Kewen smiled and shook his head: "This is what I should do. The academy has cultivated my abilities, and naturally I should give the academy as much return as possible."

"Amazing!" Sirius interjected, and said with admiration: "Kewen, you are an amazing wizard!"

"Thank you for your evaluation." Kewen was slightly taken aback by Sirius's sudden interjection, and then thanked him reservedly.

"The third game!" Dumbledore imitated Sirius, suddenly interjected, and said with certainty: "The third game is a labyrinth, and that is the best time to capture Harry!"

Hearing this, Sirius suddenly became nervous...
