Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 257 The Eve of the Triwizard Tournament

"This is the end of today's class for the time being. The Triwizard Tournament will start tomorrow. I hope everything goes well with you and Cedric."

"Of course, Professor."

Walking out of the Charms classroom, Harry grabbed Hermione and Ron and led them to a remote place.

"What's wrong? Harry."

Ron asked puzzled.

Being pulled, he had to walk a little faster to get used to Harry's speed.

"Did something happen, Harry."

Hermione asked curiously, she sensed that something was wrong with Harry.

Normally, he wasn't in such a hurry.

Is it because of the Triwizard Tournament?
Hermione thought to herself.

After all, the biggest problem Harry is facing now is the content of tomorrow's game.

She also knew that what Harry was going to face was probably a dragon.

Putting an underage wizard up against one of the most dangerous creatures on the scale.

It was really too embarrassing for Harry.

"One thing, I went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office at noon today."

"Is Professor Moody looking for you?"

"Yes, but I always feel that he has a special purpose for me, as if he is going to do something to me."

It wasn't until there was no one around that Harry let go of the hands of the two of them and spoke.

Just opening his mouth, Ron and Hermione were a little confused.

"This, it shouldn't be possible, Mad-Eye Professor Moody is one of Professor Dumbledore's most trusted people."

Ron was taken aback when he heard that, and although Hermione didn't speak, there was still a trace of worry and doubt in her eyes.

Although she didn't like Moody's teaching philosophy, one thing she had to admit was that Moody was deeply trusted by Professor Dumbledore.

Seeing that the two did not believe him, Harry was not discouraged, but told them what happened at noon today and how he felt.

"You should have been influenced by the time when the Warriors were selected. Maybe Professor Moody is not what you imagined."

Hermione took Harry's hand and said after a moment of thought.

Just looking at the look in Harry's eyes, Hermione knew he didn't believe this statement, and he still insisted on what he believed.

Harry has always been a rather stubborn person.

"Yes, yes, Harry, maybe you feel wrong."

Harry bowed his head in thought for a moment, then fell silent.

Then he raised his head again and smiled at the two of them.

"It should be that I have been too suspicious recently, and even Professor Moody doubted it. It must be an illusion."

Harry said so on the surface, but in his heart he disagreed.

He still found Professor Moody's behavior towards him strange.

He thinks that there is a purpose, but now he has not found it.

If he had found it, it probably wouldn't be Ron and Hermione listening to him here by now.

Instead, Professor Dumbledore had heard him in the headmaster's office.

But Harry didn't quite trust his feelings either.

"Let's go, let's go back to the common room first, and we'll talk about it then."

Several people chatted while walking, and their figures gradually disappeared in the corridor.

On the other side, Draco and Tom met again.

"The game starts tomorrow, aren't you nervous?"

"Why are you nervous?"

"You may be facing a dragon."

"Draco, beasts without wisdom have only brute force, but we wizards are not just beasts with strength but no wisdom."

Tom pulled Draco's shoulders and whispered something in his ear.

And the expression on Draco's face kept changing all the while.

After Tom finished speaking, Draco looked at him solemnly.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure you have to be very careful about having someone spy on him."

"in addition……"

Tom glanced at the corridor on the other side, and said slowly.

"Don't tell Harry about this."

"Why, since the man's target is Harry, can't we tell him in advance?"

Draco asked puzzledly, his mind was full of the secret that Tom just said.

"Harry is not so easy to believe. We have to investigate this matter, and that person is from your school. After all, it is not convenient for me."

"Otherwise, there is no need to embarrass you so much."

Tom put his hands on Draco's shoulders and said earnestly.

"It's not hard, Tom."

"If that person's target is really Harry, then I must protect him."

Draco was very firm.

No one else will hear what the two of them said except them.

No one would have known that Hogwarts, which seemed peaceful on the surface, would soon become chaotic.

Back in the common room, Hermione held Harry back.

After Ron left, Hermione looked at Harry seriously and asked very seriously.

"Harry, do you want someone to investigate Professor Moody?"

"How could it be? Hermione, didn't I already say that I don't doubt the professor?"

Harry forced a smile on his face, looking rather unnatural.

"Harry, you say that with your mouth, but what's in your heart?"

"Promise me, if you must go to investigate and solve the doubts in your heart, you must bring me and Ron."

Seeing the secretive expression on Harry's face, Hermione's tone couldn't help but increase a lot.

"Harry, the three of us are together. If there is any difficulty, we will face it together."

The serious look on Hermione's face made Harry hesitate to speak.

He opened his mouth and closed it again.

After a while, when Hermione's heart couldn't help but sink, Harry spoke.

"I see, I will, Hermione."

This sentence made Hermione breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Harry would be alone to find the answer to the matter again.

With so many years of companionship day and night, she knows exactly what kind of person Harry is.

He is firm and stubborn. If he decides on one thing, it must be the kind that doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.

But as long as he got Harry's guarantee, if he insisted on investigating, he would definitely bring her and Ron with him.

Hermione was also very sure of this.

"That's all right, Harry."

Hermione took a step forward and hugged Harry actively.

Just like last night.

Harry's performance was also the same as last time.

At a loss, I didn't know where to put it, so I could only let Hermione hug me.

It took several seconds before Hermione let go of her hands and looked straight into Harry's eyes.

"I believe you Harry, if Professor Moody is really what you think, then we have to tell Professor Dumbledore as soon as possible."

"But if not, then we have to hide our private investigation of Professor Moody, and don't let anyone know, do you understand, Harry."

Harry nodded upon hearing that.

"Don't worry, I know."
