The Thunderbirds still live near Hogwarts. It's not that MACUSA doesn't want to take them back, but the Thunderbirds refuse to return to their original habitat.

They feel that life here at Hogwarts is very comfortable. Except that they cannot flap their wings frequently, this place is more suitable for the life of newborn thunderbirds than Arizona, and there is much more food.

Professor Dumbledore also negotiated with the Thunderbirds through Tyr, allowing them to fly "rainfall" on fixed dates to give them a chance to stretch their bodies. During those fixed dates, the teachers at Hogwarts I was lucky enough to watch the ptarmigan flying in the thunderstorm.

At this time, the most excited person is Professor Kettleburn, who teaches the Care of Magical Creatures class. He will ask students to put on raincoats and binoculars to observe every feature of the Thunderbird in the rain.

This is a rare practice, and the opportunity to teach in the rain is even rarer. Professor Kettleburn is a wonderful professor who knows how to lead students to experience magical animals.

However, Professor Kettleburn was happy and the students were satisfied, but Madam Pomfrey always got angry on rainy days - too many students had colds and fevers after being exposed to the rain, and the school hospital's energy-boosting pills were exhausted several times. Nap was also implicated in working overtime.

It is a very good idea to move some of the plants that are gradually outgrowing the greenhouse to the forest. Not only is there more space there, but the thunderbirds will not eat Professor Sprout's plants as food if Till reminds them.

Professor Sprout was happy, and Professor Dumbledore showed a big smile to Till, as if thanking Till for his rescue. God knows, Professor Dumbledore really couldn't approve Professor Sprout's request for more greenhouses.

Hogwarts is so big, Professor Dumbledore has never thought about applying to expand the school territory as the number of students increases, but the forest for the Thunderbirds is already the result of a game between the two parties, and Professor Dumbledore also Trying to carve out territory from the Ministry of Magic is simply a fantasy.

Especially now that the Ministry of Magic is getting more and more involved with Voldemort. Minister Fudge has always stated that he has no involvement with Voldemort, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Daily Prophet - the official newspaper of the Ministry of Magic - is very negative about Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Public favoritism.

Although obscure, it does exist.

Professor Dumbledore also tried to minimize contact with the Ministry of Magic, not wanting Voldemort to reach into Hogwarts one day. The silent arrival that night made Professor Dumbledore regret his negligence. Hogwarts has now installed many devices to monitor dark magic. He is the only one who knows the specific location. Not even Tyr and Snape know anything about it. known.

He thought that in this way he would be able to know the entry of the dark wizard as soon as possible, but he did not expect that at the opening banquet on the first day of school, he would feel the pull of his own magic power.

A dark wizard has entered Hogwarts, and is gradually approaching, heading to the restaurant.

"Severus, you and Teal—" As the principal, Professor Dumbledore couldn't leave, but before he could finish his words, Teal looked at him to stop him.

Till curled his lips towards the outside of the restaurant. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was walking into the restaurant with unsteady steps and a cane: "Professor Dumbledore, look over there."

Equipped with a magic eye that moves around, one of the legs was amputated and replaced with a wooden leg. The person who came was none other than Moody. As he walked in, he looked around every student in the restaurant with vigilant eyes, and several professors on the professor's bench did not escape his probing gaze.

Professor Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, but didn't find anything wrong. However, the instant change in Till's eyes just now caught Professor Dumbledore's attention, and he gave Till a tentative look.

Teal's fingers were drawing casually on the table. With her calm expression, others might think this was an unconscious action on her part, but Professor Dumbledore's attention was focused on the place on the table where Teal's fingertips had drawn. Exactly one letter after another.

The surname "Crouch" was quickly spelled out under Till's fingertips. When "Moody" sat down next to Professor Flitwick, Till had already retracted his fingers.

"Moody" was very sensitive and his eyes had fallen on Teal's hand, but the moment Snape looked over, he stretched out his hand and spread Teal's fingers very affectionately, holding them tightly to show their relationship.

The gaze moved away in disgust, which actually imitated Moody's previous attitude toward Till and Snape's intimacy.

He was so good at imitating that even Professor Dumbledore didn't notice the difference in him. Step by step, he looked exactly like the real Moody. In every detail, even Moody himself couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

It's a pity that "Moody" met Till, who had the eye to solve puzzles. Everyone saw Moody, but Till saw Barty Crouch Jr. The last time they were at Hogwarts Saw it outside.

When Voldemort wanted the Death Eaters to rush into Hogwarts to capture Harry, Barty Crouch Jr. rushed to the forefront, and he was the first to be caught by the water flow released by Professor Dumbledore.

The Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was replaced by a Death Eater. Till and the other three did not show any abnormality. Professor Dumbledore also communicated with "Moody" very naturally, talking about some past events that only each other knew, " Moody" actually responded.

If he hadn't trusted Till enough and knew that she wouldn't do anything wrong, Professor Dumbledore would never have guessed that the "Moody" in front of him was actually Barty Crouch Jr. impersonating him.

There was no difference between him and the friend Professor Dumbledore remembered.

After the opening party, Professor Dumbledore made an excuse to ask Teal to go to his office. Snape and Professor McGonagall were not invited by Professor Dumbledore, but they both caught his eye and tacitly avoided it. The crowd gathered in the principal's office.

"Teal, are you sure he is Barty Crouch Jr.?" Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses. Like Professor Dumbledore, she did not notice any difference between the fake Moody and the real Moody.

Till nodded solemnly: "My eyes are not wrong, he is Barty Crouch Jr."

"But throughout dinner, he showed no sign of recovery..." Although Professor Dumbledore raised objections again, his sigh was enough to show his fatigue.

He brought another problematic Defense Against the Dark Arts professor into Hogwarts.

"His flagon," Snape said. "It should be filled with Polyjuice Potion. He has been drinking from his flagon."

"The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, and Voldemort sent Barty Crouch Jr. to lurk in carefully for Harry again." Till pounded his fist on the table. "The game hasn't started yet. Harry is safe for the time being. I'm more concerned about it." I'm worried about Moody's safety, he still has some ailments and needs to rest."

The expressions of several professors became even more solemn.

Moody's life was not in danger. The polyjuice potion needed the hair of a living person as an inducer, but it was not known whether Barty Crouch Jr. would torture Moody. Moody is such a person who wants to approach danger. Every time Barty Crouch Jr. approaches, Moody is on high alert mentally.

This was more painful for Moody than mere physical torture.
