Chapter 232 Alastor Moody
After the sorting ceremony, everyone was happily eating all kinds of meat and desserts on the table.

Harry and the others saw the newcomer, the new professor who took the place of Professor Lupine.

Alastor Moody! !
He behaved strangely, looking at everyone present with a scrutiny.

Even Dumbledore... not this one.

One of his eyes is like a black bead, which is normal.

The other one is big and round, as if tied by a belt, and the eyeballs are a vivid bright blue.

Harry looked at him carefully, and suddenly felt a little chill all over his body.

When he looked carefully again, Harry was horrified to find that the magically modified eye of the new professor rolled around and was staring at him all the time.

His neck was a little cold, and Harry shrank back, turning his head to look at Professor Dumbledore, avoiding the new professor's eyes.

He looked at him with a bad feeling.

The body of the new professor is mutilated, he lost a leg and replaced it with a prosthetic leg made of wood.

Beneath his thick, dark gray hair, his face looked battered and decayed.A chunk of his nose was missing.

"Long time no see, Alastor, I am relieved to see you coming."

"With you here, Hogwarts will be safer."

Professor Dumbledore got out of his seat on a rare occasion and walked towards the new professor. He didn't make too many movements, and he was obviously very familiar with the character of the new professor.

"You know that, Albus."

"Those dark wizards are very cunning, they tried to kill me more than once."

"Therefore, I have to be careful and careful not to give them the slightest chance to catch me."

While speaking, Moody took out a small fork from his clothes and rubbed the cake on the plate in front of him.

Then he held the fork in front of his eyes and looked at it for a few seconds before he picked up the cake on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth with great satisfaction.

Seeing his friend like this, Professor Dumbledore was really helpless.

He really knows this person's character and experience very well.

For this reason, this time at the opening ceremony, he came out rarely to greet him personally.

The defense is to be seen by him.

After that, the chances of him wandering around Hogwarts are low.

Even if he meets Moody by chance, I believe Gellert can handle it by himself.

"Of course, they won't catch you. They are more likely to be afraid of you. This will be one of the safest places in the wizarding world."

"Don't worry, Alastor."

Having said that, Dumbledore still spoke a few words of comfort to him, making him let go of his guard a little bit.

It's safe here, just don't scare the kids.

"I hope so, Albus."

There were whispers among the professors, and many people were discussing this new professor, guessing which subject he would be a professor of.

However, many well-informed students knew that Professor Lupine was injured and hospitalized, and this one was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who replaced him.

And others who don't know are still asking other people who know.

Including Harry and the others, they looked at Draco who had sneaked from Slytherin to the Gryffindor long table, and watched him mingle with a group of familiar people.

The friendly exchanges between each other, the eyes are showing a kind of weirdness.

"The new professor you're talking about is him?"

"Yes, Alastor Moody, the former glorious Auror of the Ministry of Magic, his record is simply dazzling."

"Yes, I know him too. It is said that half of the wizards in Azkaban were captured by him."

Harry looked strangely at Draco and Ron, who had the same attitude.

I became more and more curious about the new professor in my heart.

"Then why did he come to Hogwarts to teach? Isn't it good to stay in the Ministry of Magic as an Auror?"

The look at Moody caught his attention, and with one eye fixed on Harry, he pulled a rose-coloured flagon out of his clothes with the other.

Ton Ton took a sip and continued to insert a piece of cake with a fork...

"Because he's retired, Harry."

"He is no longer an Auror of the Ministry of Magic, but has been attacked more than once in the years of his retirement."

"That's why he became what he is today. He is suspicious and doesn't trust anyone...well, Professor Dumbledore may be the exception. After all, everyone knows that he trusts Professor Dumbledore the most."

"He felt that any food might be poisoned by his enemies, so he would test the poison with his little fork every time before eating."

"The same goes for drinking water. He only drinks the water in his small flagon, and he won't even touch the water that other people give him."

From what Draco and Ron said to each other, Harry probably understood what kind of person the new professor was.

This is a man who is extremely cautious.

Suspicion has become a part of his life.

I'm afraid if Professor Dumbledore wasn't there, this one wouldn't be able to eat anything.

The eccentric professor has attracted many people's comments.

But their discussion was very quiet, and not everyone wanted to be stared at by that modified eye for a few seconds.

"There's a lot more to come about him."

"Then why would he trust Professor Dumbledore?"

When Draco and Ron were about to continue talking, Harry interrupted abruptly.

Ron froze for a moment, he really didn't know.

Draco, on the other hand, touched his chin and thought for a few seconds before speaking.

"That's because Professor Dumbledore formed a secret society when he resisted that man and the Death Eaters he led."

"what?"

Since Draco spoke in a low voice, the only people who could hear him were the few people sitting near him.

Harry, Ron and Hermione.

The three of them asked in unison, with curiosity in their eyes about Professor Dumbledore's secret society he mentioned.

"Cough cough."

After coughing a few times, he hinted that the three of them should not make too much noise.

The exclamation of the three of them just now has attracted a lot of attention.

Glancing around, Harry nodded slightly.

Try to reduce your own sense of existence, and the voices of the other two people are also much lower.

"Did Professor Dumbledore really form a secret society back then?"

Ron asked impatiently, looking at his eyes, full of excitement, you can know how excited he is now.

Not only him, but Harry himself was also a little excited.

How can you not be excited to hear part of Professor Dumbledore's past soon?

"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me."

"At that time, in order to gradually strengthen the power of that person, the professor himself formed a society called the Order of the Phoenix, and one of them was Professor Moody."

"It can be said that this is why Moody trusts the professor so much..."
