Dynavale and Hogwarts

While flying, Dana contacted Dumbledore's magic message and reported what happened just now.

In the magic message, Dumbledore said: "I will ask Severus to replace the injured Sirius, and then ask Pomona to accompany Sirius to the school hospital. After you go to the school gate to find out, contact me in time."

Accelerating the flight, Dana flew to the school gate. Before landing completely, he asked anxiously: "Filch, did you see anyone going out?"

"No one has been out." Filch's answer made him feel relieved, but also a little confused. If Crouch doesn't leave as soon as possible, why is he still staying at the school and waiting to be caught?

"No one really went out," Dana confirmed again.

"No one has ever gone out," Filch almost swore, adding: "No one has ever gone out since I came here to guard the door. I only saw Mr. Crouch come in."

"What?" Dana asked urgently, "When did this happen?"

"About fifteen minutes ago." Filch replied: "After I waited for the students to go to the stand, I checked the candles in the castle and rushed to the gate, just in time to see him come in."

"You didn't think there was anything fishy about this. Why didn't you ask Crouch why he went out?" Dana said slightly accusingly. This kind of thing should have been mentioned a long time ago.

"I did think so at the time." Filch smiled bitterly, shrank and said: "But you also know that such a big shot, a person like me, has no right to ask about his whereabouts. I just asked. , and he won’t answer.”

Dana was speechless. This damn, ubiquitous discrimination always hurts people's hearts inadvertently. As a Muggle-born, he felt the same pain.

Suppressing his annoyance, he quickly confirmed with Dumbledore. Sure enough, Dumbledore answered with certainty: "During that time, Crouch was with us and never left."

Now things are completely messed up. There are two Crouches at the front and the back. Which one is real and which one is fake, is it the one in front or the one behind who attacked Sirius?

My head is about to explode.

In the magic message, Dumbledore said again: "Pomona and Severus did not find Sirius. I need you to recall carefully whether you found anything unusual at that time."

Dana could only smile bitterly in his heart. The two Crouches hadn't been found yet, and Sirius had disappeared again. Things are like a wild horse running wild, and no one knows which direction it will develop.

Take a deep breath, throw away all the distracting thoughts, and tell yourself not to be impatient and deal with things one by one.

He followed Dumbledore's request and carefully recalled the scene when he met Sirius just now. I feel something is awkward and not quite right. I recalled it again, with a look of excitement on my face, and finally found something wrong.

It's a robe. The color of the robe is wrong.

When Dana saw Sirius just now, the color of his robe was wrong. It was not the black robe he wore that morning. It is exactly the same color as the black robe worn by Crouch in front.

Although they are both black, Dana's improved vision can still clearly distinguish the obvious difference between the two.

There was no reason for Sirius to wear Crouch's robes, so there was only one possibility. The Crouch in front attacked Sirius and turned himself into Sirius's appearance

Using his superb acting skills, he deceived himself who went to check the situation, and directed himself away, taking the opportunity to escape. I was like a clown, being fooled around by him.

Realizing this, Dana felt humiliated and angry. But soon, reason prevailed and he calmed down. Being angry won't help. It's better to calmly think about countermeasures and make a counterattack.

Now, he has unraveled a link in the mess, and the situation is beginning to become clearer.

The former Crouch is now disguised as Sirius, and his whereabouts are unknown; Sirius has been severely injured, and his life or death is uncertain; the latter Crouch's identity is doubtful, his purpose is unknown, and he is still wandering around the campus.

Dana told Dumbledore his thoughts, speculations and evidence. Suggested: "No matter what, if you want to leave Hogwarts, you must come through the gate."

Dumbledore understood what Dana meant and quickly made a decision: "I will ask Molly and Bill to help and guard the school gate so that no one can be let out."

Dana hesitated for a moment and then added: "It's best to arrange for a professor from the school to come over at the same time. Mrs. Weasley and the others are guests after all. There are some things that are not easy to say or do."

Dumbledore praised: "You are right, I will send a professor there."

Then he said in a low tone: "As for Sirius, I will arrange for Severus and Pomona to search the surroundings carefully. The time you have left for the murderer is very short, and I estimate that he should be hidden not far away. May Merlin bless him." "

Speaking of Sirius, Dana felt a little heavy in his heart. This ill-fated man didn't know if he could survive tonight.

However, he had no time to be sentimental here. Asked for instructions: "The Crouch who comes later, leave it to me and assistant Ball. After all, it involves senior officials from the Ministry of Magic. People from the Ministry of Magic are involved in the whole process to avoid leaving any gossip in the future."

"Okay." Dumbledore agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

Now comes the hardest part of making the decision. Do you want to tell Dumbledore your speculation? This may change the final outcome.

Dana thought about it again and again, and finally said: "The murderer will probably continue to stay nearby until the final goal is achieved. He is probably still near the maze, or even in the maze, so"

"I have considered it. But I cannot order the suspension of the game or send people in to affect the game." Dumbledore analyzed calmly, extremely rationally: "The contract was signed not only by the warriors, but also by the three organizations that organized the game. School.

"Rush intervention or suspension of the game is not feasible and will bring unbearable consequences. Fortunately, when the lives of warriors are actually threatened, we have a reason to take action.

"Except for Harry, the camera probes of the other three warriors are all intact. If there is danger, the professors on standby can rescue them at any time. It is not a big problem. The only one to worry about is Harry. He is the most dangerous, but"

At this point, Dumbledore's long sigh came from the magic message: "I can only believe this child."

There was an undetectable whisper in the magic message. Dana's ear power increased and he could hear clearly: "Believe in the prophecy, Harry should be fine this time."

Later, Dumbledore said with some regret: "I wish I had known better and placed more camera probes in the maze."

After thinking about it, Dana confessed: "Principal, I actually put a video stone on Harry."

"Really?" Dumbledore's tone was a little excited, and then he calmed down: "It's a pity that it's not a camera, so you can't see the picture in real time. How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting the audio stone on Harry?" The last sentence was full of inquiry. .
