From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Chapter 87 The Missing Crouch

The news of Mr. Crouch's disappearance soon appeared in the "Daily Prophet". When Halia was eating breakfast in the auditorium, she noticed that the second edition of the newspaper that day had a large headline "Ministry of Magic Disappeared Again", which contained There was also reference to the news of Bertha Jorkins' disappearance.Halia glanced at the signature, it was Skeeter.

Halia was a little surprised, she didn't expect Skeeter to pay attention to things other than the Triwizard Tournament warriors, especially when she saw Skeeter wrote at the end of the news: I have been following up and reporting on the Triwizard Tournament Journalists should pay attention to everything related to the competition.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the front page of the newspaper that day was Lordana's interview with the four warriors about the second project.

Halia looked at Skeeter's name in the newspaper with some disdain. This was because she couldn't get interviews with the four warriors, so she searched around to find other content to attract public attention to her?

Halia ate her breakfast, and her eyes wandered from the newspaper of the day to the Weasley twins at the Gryffindor long table not far away. Their expressions were serious and they held parchment in their hands.Halia couldn't help worrying for them: Is it the recent lease of the Hogsmeade store?

In the library not long after, Halia looked at Fred and George next to her and asked them in a low voice if they had received any bad news this morning.

Fred and George exchanged glances, then showed Halia the parchment they'd received that morning, a letter from Percy.It said Crouch was under investigation because he had disappeared and the Ministry had suspended him from employment.The Ministry of Magic believes that the instructions he received from superiors during this time may not have been written by Crouch himself.

Percy also mentioned in the letter that thanks to Fred and George reminding him last time, Crouch claimed to be sick but did not go to St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital. Percy kept all the correspondence evidence during this period , should be enough to deal with the Ministry of Magic's investigation of him.

What worried Halia was that Percy wrote at the end of the letter—"I plan to visit Mr. Crouch." Halia pointed out this sentence and asked Fred and George: "Percy Will you really come to the door? Or is it just talking?"

Fred and George didn't understand why Halia was so nervous. George thought for a while: "Since he wrote it, he will really visit Mr. Crouch..."

"Stop him." Halia's expression became very tense, and seeing the incomprehensible eyes of the two people in front of her, she explained, "If Percy can be sure that the letter he received from his superior is in Crouch's handwriting, Then, will someone else in the Crouch family cast the Imperius Curse on him and ask him to write these work instructions..."

There was a limping sound from the bookshelf next to her. When Halia heard it, she stopped explaining to Fred and George and looked behind the bookshelf.She thought Professor Moody would appear near the bookshelf, but there was nothing on the bookshelf she didn't expect.

Until the three of them left the library and went to the castle for classes.When the junior Levenclaw came here to look for books, he was taken aback when he saw the hurried Professor Moody who suddenly appeared.

Halia didn't know if the letter sent by Fred and George to Percy had been received in time, and she hoped that Percy would not rush to Crouch's house.Then she thought, since the Ministry of Magic has started an investigation, haven't people from the Ministry of Magic been to Crouch's house in this period of time?Haven't noticed anything wrong?

Halia wanted to hear back that Percy hadn't gone to the Crouch's house more than Fred and George, but no matter how anxious Halia was, she received the notification of the third project first-all three warriors. Gather at the Quidditch pitch in the afternoon two days later, and Bagman will tell everyone the details of the third project.

Halia waited for three days with great worry, but still did not get a reply from Percy.Halia was not sure whether Mr. Crouch would appear in Hogwarts in a state of madness like in the novel, and she was even less sure whether Percy's visit would be in danger.

Halia walked towards the Quidditch pitch a little nervously. Now it has changed a lot, it has been fenced off, and many bushes have been planted in the middle.Halia noticed that Harry was looking nervously at the bushes on the Quidditch pitch.

Bagman noticed Harry's nervousness, smiled and said to him: "Harry, this is for the third project. But don't worry, when the third project is over, your Quidditch pitch will resume again." The status quo will not affect your Quidditch competition next year."

Harry rubbed his head in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Bagman saw his worry about the Quidditch pitch all at once.

Taking advantage of this time, Bagman announced the content of the third project to the four warriors: "These bushes are the maze for your third project, and after a month, they will be much taller than they are now.

"Warriors will walk into the huge maze on the evening of June 6. At the same time, the professors from Hogwarts will enrich the contents of the maze. Well, now, all warriors, please go back and make full preparations for the third project." Bagman announced that after watching the four warriors, his eyes stayed on Harry for a long time, as if he wanted to say something to Harry.

But Krum moved faster than Bagman, and he said to Harry, "Harry, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Harry also noticed Bagman's intention to talk to him, and for some reason, he didn't want to accept Bagman's offer.Harry followed Krum towards the edge of the Quidditch pitch, which was now covered with thick bushes.

Halia was worried about Crouch's sudden appearance. She pretended not to understand Krum's intention of the conversation, and asked, "Krum, what do you and Harry want to talk about? I want to join too. After all, we don't have the opportunity to meet every day." international stars."

After hearing what Halia said, Krum's already blunt facial lines became even more rigid. He replied a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid it's not convenient." But it sounded like a very blunt refusal.

After hearing this, Harry looked nervously at Krum's size, evaluating whether he would have a chance to fight back or run away if Krum suddenly attacked him, or whether he could refuse now.

However, he still followed Klum to a more marginal place, just like Halia said, "It is not every day that I have the opportunity to meet international stars", and now the international stars actively invite themselves to "chat alone".Does this mean that Krum sees him as a real opponent.

Harry was thinking wildly when he saw Krum turn back and poke the bushes, and Halia appeared in the bushes.

Halia was spotted by Krum, and stood up awkwardly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Krum say in a low voice, "I didn't know that Hogwarts would teach people to eavesdrop."

This remark made Halia a little angry while being embarrassed. She didn't explain anything, turned and left, thinking to herself: You deserve to be knocked out in a while.

When Halia walked into the castle, she happened to see Fred and George, and told them the content of the third project that Bagman had notified in advance.Asked again if they had received a letter from Percy, the answer was still no.

Halia walked towards the library with some regrets. Fred and George looked at her expression and comforted her. Maybe her worry about Percy was just too much.

None of the three of them saw Harry running towards the castle not far behind.
