Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 435 Mad-Eye Moody (false)
After the dinner mixed with dog (cat) food was finished, the plates on the table became clean and shiny again, and Dumbledore on the teacher's table stood up again.

The buzzing voices in the hall stopped suddenly, only the howling of the wind and the beating of the heavy rain could be heard.

"Okay!" Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "Now that we are all full and full, I must ask everyone's attention again. I have to announce a few announcements..."

He first talked about some things such as prohibited items, no going to the Forbidden Forest, and no going to Hogsmeade village under the third grade, etc., and then changed the subject: "I also regret to tell you that this year there will be no It's the House Cup Quidditch."

The students in the audience were suddenly in an uproar. Most of the students opened their mouths in surprise and stared at Dumbledore with wide eyes. They were obviously shocked by the news. Only a small number of students had the expression that they had known this before. Most of them are Slytherin students.

In Gryffindor, only Fish and Hermione looked calm.

Hermione guessed the reason, and Mao Mao... was simply not interested in Quidditch.

Harry, who was looking around, naturally noticed the difference between the two of them, and then thought about Fisher's ability to obtain all kinds of secret information in the past, and immediately asked, "You know why, don't you?"

"Meow?"

ω
Fish tilted his head with a dazed expression, not quite understanding what Harry was talking about, Maomao had always been too lazy to think about things that he wasn't interested in.

And Hermione put her index finger in front of her mouth, and then pointed to Dumbledore above.

Sure enough, Dumbledore quickly continued: "This is because a large-scale event will start in October and last for the entire school year, taking up a lot of time and energy of the teachers...but I believe that you can all get something out of it." Great fun. I am very happy to announce that this year at Hogwarts..."

"Boom--!!!"

"boom!"

A deafening thunder and the sound of the door being forced open interrupted Dumbledore's speech.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man with a cane standing at the door. He was wrapped in a black travel cloak. The sharp-eyed Fisher also noticed that the right eye of this man was very big, and it was similar to the retired man's right eye. Like Professor Keltburn, he has a left leg made of wood.

The man at the door took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and started walking towards the staff desk.

His wooden legs and crutches hit the ground, making a constant hollow sound. When he reached Dumbledore's side, the lightning and the surrounding lights fully revealed his face to everyone.

It was a face full of scars, not an inch of skin was intact, the mouth was like a big crooked opening, and the place where the nose should be protruding was missing.

The most terrifying thing is his eyes, one of his eyes is small, black and shiny; the other eye is big, round like a coin, and is a vivid bright blue.

The blue eye kept moving without blinking, turning up and down, left and right, completely irrelevant to the normal eye—later, the blue eye rolled over and got into the man's head, All you can see is a big white eyeball.

The little wizards who were still whispering and discussing the big move in October all stopped talking. They were frightened by this person who came in. Except for the sound of thunder and rain, the auditorium was quiet.

Fish, on the other hand, looked at the constantly moving blue eyes on Alastor Moody's face, as long as it was something new and new, the cat would be very interested.

After Moody's magic eyes turned around randomly for a while, he seemed to have noticed Fish's gaze, and immediately looked back, and Moody himself turned his face and looked at Fish.

O_o
After staring at each other for a while, Moody smiled at Fish, but because of the scar on his face, the smile looked very creepy.

Of course, Maomao didn't feel anything, and he smiled back friendly and waved to Moody.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore broke the silence happily, "Professor Moody."

Under normal circumstances, when a new teacher meets everyone, everyone will applaud, but now, except for Dumbledore, Hagrid, and the big-hearted little cat, no teacher or student applauds.

Fortunately, Mao Mao still had a good reputation in Hogwarts. Under his influence, applause gradually resounded on the long table of Gryffindor, which led to the other three houses.After a while, the applause changed from sparse to enthusiastic.

"Moody" turned his gaze to Fish again, but quickly moved away.Before he came, both Voldemort and Pettigrew specifically told him that this cat-eared boy named Fish had very keen perception.

So even though he really wanted to kill this little wizard who had stopped Voldemort's plan, but for the master's plan, Moody (Barty Crouch Jr.) suppressed the malice in his heart.

"Moody?" Harry whispered to Ron, clapping. "Mad-Eye Moody? The one your dad went to help this morning?"

"It must be him."

Ron clapped his hands absently, and replied in a low voice with fear.

Apart from them, the other students gradually recovered from their shock and whispered to each other about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor through applause.

"cough!"

Dumbledore cleared his throat, letting the whispers and applause die down.

"As I said," he said, smiling at the crowd of students in front of him, "in the next few months we will be honored to host a very exciting event that has been going on for more than a year. The Century is no longer taking place. I am very pleased to report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

"You're kidding!" exclaimed Fred Weasley.

The tension that had been hanging over the auditorium ever since Moody walked in was suddenly broken.Almost everyone laughed, and Dumbledore smiled appreciatively.

"I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley," he said, "but since you mentioned joking, I did hear a very funny one about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun, and they all into the same tavern..."

Professor McGonagall cleared his throat loudly.

"Oh - it's probably not the right time to say that... not the right..." said Dumbledore, "Where did I just say that? Ah, yes, the Triwizard Tournament... Some of you don't know that yet What is going on in this competition, so I hope those who know the situation will forgive me to explain a little bit here, and I will allow their minds to wander for a while..."

Then Dumbledore talked about the general rules of the Triwizard Tournament, and Hermione knew these things clearly in Professor McGonagall's collection, and even she and Fish knew them in more detail.

"There have been several attempts over the centuries to bring back the Tournament," continued Dumbledore, "but none have been successful. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and Department of Magical Sports believe that another attempt The time is ripe. We have done a lot of work this summer to ensure that the life of every warrior is not in danger."

"In October, the Headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will bring their handpicked contenders, and the selection of the warriors will take place on Hallowe'en. An impartial referee will decide which students are best qualified to participate Compete for the Tri-Strong Cup, win honors for your school, and personally get a bonus of [-] Galleons."

"A thousand Galleons!"

The eyes of Mao Mao, who was planning to participate in the competition, lit up. If he wins the competition, he can buy a Firebolt for Professor McGonagall!

Recommended monthly ticket

　Moody's magic eye and prosthetic leg, which side is not written in the original book, the magic eye in the movie version is on the left, but in the illustration of the Goblet of Fire, it is the right eye again, I am using the novel illustration version here .

　　As for the prosthetic leg, there is really no way to prove it. I just felt that it was a bit unbalanced on the right side, so I put the prosthetic leg on the left side.

　　……

　　Some people say that Dumbledore's joke was alluding to the incident in the previous "Prisoner", where Hagrid, McGonagall and Flitwick went to the three broomsticks, but I think this explanation is far-fetched, because there was a Fudge...

　　In addition, the word used in the original English version is Hag, which is actually not quite right when translated into hag. It should be an old hag or an old witch, and it can also be translated into a witch, but it seems that witches are more commonly used as Witch.

　　……

　　Finally, the price of the Firebolt has been analyzed before. Regardless of the rationality, if it is interpreted purely according to the original text, it is several hundred Galleons.

　　Anyway, it is just to add another reason for Maomao to participate, so there is no need to entangle too much about it.
