HP's profit-seeking
Chapter 54
On the second day after the end of the second project, Danica heard the bad news from Fred that Mr. Crouch, one of the referees, died in the Forbidden Forest.This cast a haze on her original good mood, and she always felt that Crouch's death revealed something strange everywhere.
But she didn't have much time to think about it, and Professor Snape had arranged for her to brew a dose of Veritaserum, which was out of his storeroom.
Danica finds time to go to the library after class to look up the practice of Veritaserum. I have to say that this kind of potion that can have immediate results is no easier to make than compound potions.While the other students were chatting and laughing about Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, Danica was hard at work on the professor's extra homework.For this, Fred cursed Snape a lot, because it took up his appointment time so badly.
A few days before she could go to Hogsmeade next time, Danica finally finished, and she divided the pot of Veritaserum into several vials to send to Snape.She hesitated for a moment before heading out, leaving a vial behind and slipping it under the pillow on her bed.
Her cloak held several glass vials, which made crisp sounds as she moved.Danica walked quickly to the basement floor of the castle, she stopped at the door of Snape's office, and was about to knock on the door, when she heard a hurried voice from inside, "Look, Snape, he's coming back! "
"Karkaroff, hide now," Snape said sternly.
"But you must have noticed—"
"Who's at the door?!" Snape interrupted him abruptly. He swung his wand and opened the door, staring fiercely at Danica outside the door. "Eavesdropping is not a good habit, Wilson."
"Sorry, Professor Snape. I'm only here to deliver Veritaserum," Danica said.Karkaroff hastily pulled down the sleeves he rolled up, but she could already see what seemed to be a black tattoo on his arm, and he was trying to cover it up.
Snape strode over and sat down, snatched the potion bottle from her hand, "Okay, you can go." He slammed the door shut again.
Danica left confused.She put the matter behind her the next day, and went on another Hogsmeade date with Fred happily.
This time she wants to buy a light dress, spring has come, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.Fred waited for her outside the dressing room as Danica tried on clothes at Fairy's Wizarding Clothing, frowning at a letter in his hand.
By the time Danica got dressed again and came out, he had crumpled the letter paper.Danica asked him suspiciously, "Fred, what happened?"
Fred took a deep breath and controlled his emotions before he said, "Do you remember when George and I made a bet at Bagman's during the Quidditch World Cup?"
Danica stroked the hem of her skirt and sat beside him, "Of course I remember."
"The money he won back for us was gold coins that the leprechauns dropped in the sky, and it disappeared the next day," said Fred angrily. "George and I have been arguing with him, at least Gonna give us back our principal. But obviously he doesn't want to." He shook the letter. "Wait, George and I are going to hit him hard."
Danica stood up and kissed him on the cheek, smiling, "Well then, my poor boyfriend." She turned around and asked, "How do I look in this? Does it look good?"
"You look beautiful in everything." Fred pretended to be distressed, "How can you look so good in any outfit?"
Danica scolded him with a smile, grabbed another piece of clothing and went into the dressing room.I have to say that women are really tireless when they go shopping. In the afternoon, Fred dragged his tired body and plunged into the bed.
At breakfast the next day, a large number of owls flew to the long table of Gryffindor, and a mountain of letters was piled up in front of Hermione, and one of the letters spurted out a stream of pus from Babo tuber, splashing her Many scars immediately appeared on his hands.Harry and Ron scrambled to help her get a napkin to wipe the pus.
Stacy looked at the commotion over there, and couldn't help saying with some sympathy, "Poor Granger, the contents of those letters must not be good, they may be some vicious curses. Rita has hurt her badly, those false letters The gossip about it can make a lot of people very angry."
Danica calmly ate a hearty breakfast, "She can't compare to you. You are hiding away from Cedric now, for fear that Rita will catch you and write a gossip." She read Glancing at Fu Rong, "Do you think it's much safer to play with women?"
Since the quarrel between Stacy and Roger, the relationship has become cold.There has been some relaxation recently, but the two will try to avoid being alone.Since Stacy quit their small group, she hooked up with Furong at some point, and the two girls always chirped together to discuss gossip, beauty spells, and so on.
"Yes or no, Fleur is really a good girl." Stacy stood up, picked up a stack of books, and was about to go out, "Of course, don't be jealous, you are still my best friend. See you after class .” She smiled and left with Fu Rong who was standing by.
Over the ensuing Easter break, George and Fred busied themselves blackmailing Bagman, Danica, Roger and Cedric busied themselves with revision, and before he could face the Triwizard Tournament finale, he had to deal with Take the final exam.Under the aura of a warrior, Cedric is still a sixth grade student.
After the start of the summer semester, this means that the final is getting closer and closer.Fleur began to get nervous, she kept guessing the content of the final, she said to Cedric, "Could we go to an underground tunnel to dig for treasure?"
Cedric was busy copying a passage from the book to add to his thesis on the history of magic. Danica came out from behind the bookshelf holding a stack of books and said to her with a smile, "If this is really a test for you , I can lend you a sniff, it is an expert at digging treasures."
Finally, on the night of the last week in May, they knew what the game was about.
The next night, Cedric took Danica, Roger and the twins to the original Quidditch pitch. The ground here has been remodeled beyond recognition, and someone has built countless long low walls here. , meandering and stretching in all directions.
Fred and George said angrily, "What the hell are they doing?"
Danica squinted for a moment, then asked Cedric, "Maze?"
"Yes. It is said that in another month, these low walls will become twenty feet high. The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament is placed in the maze. Whoever touches it first will be the champion." Cedric looked into the darkness The unfinished maze in Zhong said, "There will be many obstacles inside. The points accumulated in previous games will come in handy now, and those with high scores will enter the maze first."
"What's the obstacle?" George asked.
"Hagrid provided some fantastic animals...and some spells that had to be broken...and that sort of thing," Cedric thought. "I think I need to learn some more powerful spells."
Fred patted him on the shoulder, "No problem, the few of us, each find a spell to learn, and then teach you."
They walked back to the castle, "Besides, Danica learned a lot of jinxes from Moody."
Their exams didn't end until the day of the Triwizard Tournament, and Danica and Roger had to set aside review time to help Cedric practice spells, which George and Fred devoted entirely to , They actually enjoyed it. For them, preparing for the Warriors is much more interesting than reviewing.
After entering June, the atmosphere in the castle became tense and exciting.Everyone is looking forward to the Triwizard Tournament finals a week before the holidays.In this atmosphere, Cedric also nervously practiced spells whenever he had time.
On the morning of the competition day, the auditorium was extremely lively, and everyone's faces were full of excitement and anticipation.Parather flew in, bringing the latest issue of the Daily Prophet, on which Danica was reading Rita's news about Harry Potter.She said inexplicably, "How could she know so much? She knows about Harry's Parseltongue. Isn't that incredible?"
"Maybe she has a unique way of finding out information." Roger answered her indifferently, holding a glass of milk to drink.
Professor Flitwick walked to the Ravenclaw table and called Fleur away, just as Stacy was concentrating on the newspaper Danica handed her over.When she raised her head, she was no longer there. She asked Danica in a daze, "Where's Furong? Wasn't she eating next to me just now?"
Danica replied with a smile, "I was called away just now. It seems that the warriors are going to meet their families before the competition. Eat quickly, we are rushing to the history of magic examination room."
When they came out of the examination room and returned to the auditorium for lunch, Fred ran over from the direction of the Gryffindor table, dragging Danica to go there, he said to Stacy and Roger , "I'm sorry, I took the man first." Then he explained to Danica, "Mom and Bill are here, as Harry's family. They want to see you too."
He took Danica to sit at the Gryffindor table, Ginny and George sat next to Mrs. Weasley, Bill was still dressed in that cool way, he greeted her with a wicked smile, "Hi, Siblings."
Mrs. Weasley also greeted her warmly, then turned to nagging the twins again, "Look at your hairs that have grown to your necks, I must hold your heads down and cut you short when you go back. !"
Ron and Hermione also sat down, and Mrs. Weasley greeted her a little coldly. It seemed that she had read the "Daily Prophet" a lot.
Danica sat with them, and it felt like being back at the Burrow.Everyone had a lively lunch, and then went to their own business. Harry accompanied Bill and Mrs. Weasley to stroll around the castle to pass the time. After they returned to the castle for dinner, the game was about to start.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite everyone to the Quidditch Stadium to watch the last event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, please go to the stadium with Mr. Bagman, the warriors." Deng Blido stood up and said.
When the warriors stood up, everyone applauded enthusiastically, and Cedric ran over from the Hufflepuff table and hugged each of Danica, Stacy, and Roger before leaving.
Five minutes later, the students filed out of the auditorium and came to the stands of the Quidditch pitch.The current stadium is a little different from what Danica saw back then. A twenty-foot hedge surrounds the edge of the field. There is a gap in front of the warrior, and only the dark passages of the maze can be seen, which is a bit scary.
Bagman spoke a few words to the Warriors, and then he put his wand to his throat and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the last project is about to begin! Let me report the current score, Cedric Digory and Harry Potter - 85 points, tied for first place, Hogwarts!" Applause rang through the dark night.
"Victor Krum—80 points, No.2, Durmstrang College!" There was another burst of applause, "Fleur Delacour—No.3, Beauxbaton College!"
"Now, Cedric and Harry, listen to my whistle," said Bagman, "three...two...one"
With a short whistle, Harry and Cedric hurried into the maze.
Krum and Fleur also entered the maze in turn.
The tall maze walls swallowed up the four warriors, and the audience could only look at the maze in the darkness, and there was a burst of light from time to time, which was the light from their spells.
Danica looked at the huge labyrinth, but she had no way of knowing what was going on inside. Panicking about the unknown welled up in her heart, she grabbed Fred's arm and leaned lightly on his shoulder.
A long time passed, and it seemed that not too long passed. There was a scream in the maze, and a red light shot into the dark night sky. The professors hurriedly rushed into the maze according to the position shown above.After a while, Furong was carried out, she was unconscious, her mother and younger sister rushed to her side, and Pomfrey also gave her first aid.
After a while, another red light shot out of the maze.Krum was carried out of the maze with his face covered in bruises, and he also passed out.
Everyone stared nervously at the maze, and now it was just Harry and Cedric, and the champion would emerge from among them.But time passed by for a long time, the maze was completely dark, without any light for casting spells, and the people in the stands slowly began to whisper.
Fried yawned and said impatiently, "What are they doing in there? Why haven't they come out for so long?" Almost everyone had this question in their hearts.
After a long time, everyone began to wait a little impatiently.With a sound, Harry grabbed the trophy and Cedric suddenly landed on the grass in front of the maze. The people cheered instantly, they all saw Harry's hand tightly grasping the trophy.
But Danica looked at Cedric who was lying on the grass without moving at all. Her eyes widened, her lips trembled slightly, and her cold hands tightly grasped Fred's.
"Danica, are you cold—" Fred turned his head to look at her, seeing that her face was pale without a trace of blood, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"Cedric didn't move at all... not even a vibration in his chest..." Her eyes never blinked, but tears welled up slowly, and she staggered to run down, Fred He quickly supported her.
When they ran to the field, Danica heard Harry crying, "Voldemort is back! Cedric was killed by him!" Her eyes went dark, her legs went limp, and she almost fell to her knees .
The lively cheers of the crowd came to an abrupt end as if they had been choked.
Danica ran to Cedric's body and saw that the handsome boy was lifeless at the moment, his gray eyes closed, and she touched his hand lightly, which was extremely cold.Danica's heart turned cold in an instant, and tears dripped from her eyes. Fred hugged her, silently comforting her, and his eyes also overflowed with tears.
Cedric's parents threw themselves on top of him, wailing, and Fred put his arms around Danica, lifted her up, and stood aside to make room for them.Danica couldn't understand how the friend who had hugged her with a smile on her face not long ago turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground in an instant.
The scene was extremely chaotic, the sound of wailing, the questioning of Minister of Magic Fudge, the sound of Dumbledore trying to maintain order, the screaming of girls, etc., overlapped.It wasn't until Snape yelled, "Where's Harry Potter?! Where did he go?" that everyone realized that Harry had disappeared.
A Hufflepuff girl sniffled and pointed at the castle, "I saw...Professor Moody took him into the castle..."
Danica also controlled her emotions a little bit at this time. She looked down and saw a curved wine bottle rolling by her feet. She often saw Professor Moody drink from it.When she picked up the wine bottle and was about to return it to him another day, she smelled a lacewing, and her face changed, "Fred, let me go first."
Then she strode up to Professor Snape, "Professor Moody's flagon, I smell the compound potion."
Snape sniffed it carefully, and he said to Dumbledore, "That's right, it's a compound potion. I'm afraid our Professor Moody has something wrong."
Dumbledore strode gravely towards the castle, with Professor McGonagall following him, and Snape said to Danica, "Go to my office and get a bottle of Veritaserum."
Fred ran underground with Danica, and quickly ran to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office with the veritaserum.
"Pass out!"
The door was wide open.Professor Dumbledore looked at the unconscious Moody, his face was horrifying, without a kind smile, and every wrinkle on that old face was filled with cold anger.
Danica glanced at him, then turned to Snape and said, "Professor, I brought it." As indifferent as ever, he just nodded and took the Veritaserum.
Dumbledore bent down and took out a bunch of keys from the unconscious Moody. He walked to a chest with seven locks and inserted the keys one by one.The boxes were opened layer by layer, and when the innermost box was opened, there was a big pit at the bottom of the box.The real Professor Moody lay thin and weak inside.
Dumbledore sat on the edge of the box and looked at him, "Alive, just knocked out. Of course, they need to keep him alive. Look at his hair, it's been cut for a year, see the irregularities ?But I think our fake Moody may have gotten too excited tonight and forgot to take his meds on time...every hour...you'll see."
He pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down.Danica and Fred stood at the edge of the room, staring at the unconscious Moody on the floor.Harry stared at him too, and the minutes passed in silence.
The fake Moody's face slowly changed, the scars faded, the skin smoothed, and the mutilated nose grew and shrunk.His long gray hair was shortening, turning pale blonde.Suddenly, with a bang, the wooden leg fell aside, and a real leg grew out.Then the magic eye popped out of its socket, and a real eye took its place.
Fred couldn't help but let out an exclamation.Snape also stood there, looking at the young man in disbelief, "Crouch! Barty Crouch Jr.!" Danica looked at him indifferently, a stranger who had never seen .
"Severus, give him some Veritaserum." Dumbledore dragged him to the chair he had just been sitting on, and tied him tightly.
Snape stepped forward and opened Crouch's mouth, poured three drops of potion, then pointed his wand at the man's chest and said, "Resuscitate quickly!"
He slowly opened his eyes, his expression a little dull.Dumbledore began to ask him questions calmly, and he knew everything.
"What does Voldemort want you to do?"
"He asked me if I was willing to risk everything for him. I am willing to serve him and prove my loyalty to him. This is my dream and my greatest wish." A fanatical expression appeared on his face, "He Tell me he needs a crony at Hogwarts who will guide Harry Potter through the Triwizard Tournament and make sure he wins the Triwizard Cup; One who caught it brought it to my master..."
All of Danica's questions were answered, about Crouch's death, about Cedric's death.
The effect of the medicine gradually passed, and little Crouch stopped answering Dumbledore's question. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, with madness in his eyes, "You know what this means," the ugly black tattoo on his arm has never been seen before. Clearly, the poisonous snake in the skull's mouth twisted its body, "He's back!"
Dumbledore ignored the exaggerated smile on his face, and said to Professor McGonagall, "Let the owl send a letter to Azkaban, I think they lost someone." He pushed Harry to go out, at this time Seeing Danica and Fred standing in the corner, "Oh, you're still there, come on, let's go back first, Harry needs to heal the injury on his arm..."
Before Danica left, she took another look at little Crouch and met him for a second. He laughed wildly, "My most proud student, I will be treated like a hero returning, and we will also Goodbye..." She ignored the crazy words and followed Fred away.
The author has something to say:
1. Cedric is dead, Danica is next, and her tragic life is about to begin
2. Hello everyone, this article is about to start abuse
But she didn't have much time to think about it, and Professor Snape had arranged for her to brew a dose of Veritaserum, which was out of his storeroom.
Danica finds time to go to the library after class to look up the practice of Veritaserum.

"Karkaroff, hide now," Snape said sternly.
"But you must have noticed—"
"Who's at the door?!" Snape interrupted him abruptly. He swung his wand and opened the door, staring fiercely at Danica outside the door. "Eavesdropping is not a good habit, Wilson."
"Sorry, Professor Snape. I'm only here to deliver Veritaserum," Danica said.Karkaroff hastily pulled down the sleeves he rolled up, but she could already see what seemed to be a black tattoo on his arm, and he was trying to cover it up.
Snape strode over and sat down, snatched the potion bottle from her hand, "Okay, you can go." He slammed the door shut again.
Danica left confused.She put the matter behind her the next day, and went on another Hogsmeade date with Fred happily.
This time she wants to buy a light dress, spring has come, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.Fred waited for her outside the dressing room as Danica tried on clothes at Fairy's Wizarding Clothing, frowning at a letter in his hand.
By the time Danica got dressed again and came out, he had crumpled the letter paper.Danica asked him suspiciously, "Fred, what happened?"

Fred ran underground with Danica, and quickly ran to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office with the veritaserum.
"Pass out!"
The door was wide open.Professor Dumbledore looked at the unconscious Moody, his face was horrifying, without a kind smile, and every wrinkle on that old face was filled with cold anger.
Danica glanced at him, then turned to Snape and said, "Professor, I brought it." As indifferent as ever, he just nodded and took the Veritaserum.
Dumbledore bent down and took out a bunch of keys from the unconscious Moody. He walked to a chest with seven locks and inserted the keys one by one.The boxes were opened layer by layer, and when the innermost box was opened, there was a big pit at the bottom of the box.The real Professor Moody lay thin and weak inside.
Dumbledore sat on the edge of the box and looked at him, "Alive, just knocked out. Of course, they need to keep him alive. Look at his hair, it's been cut for a year, see the irregularities ?But I think our fake Moody may have gotten too excited tonight and forgot to take his meds on time...every hour...you'll see."
He pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down.Danica and Fred stood at the edge of the room, staring at the unconscious Moody on the floor.Harry stared at him too, and the minutes passed in silence.
The fake Moody's face slowly changed, the scars faded, the skin smoothed, and the mutilated nose grew and shrunk.His long gray hair was shortening, turning pale blonde.Suddenly, with a bang, the wooden leg fell aside, and a real leg grew out.Then the magic eye popped out of its socket, and a real eye took its place.
Fred couldn't help but let out an exclamation.Snape also stood there, looking at the young man in disbelief, "Crouch! Barty Crouch Jr.!" Danica looked at him indifferently, a stranger who had never seen .
"Severus, give him some Veritaserum." Dumbledore dragged him to the chair he had just been sitting on, and tied him tightly.
Snape stepped forward and opened Crouch's mouth, poured three drops of potion, then pointed his wand at the man's chest and said, "Resuscitate quickly!"
He slowly opened his eyes, his expression a little dull.Dumbledore began to ask him questions calmly, and he knew everything.
"What does Voldemort want you to do?"
"He asked me if I was willing to risk everything for him. I am willing to serve him and prove my loyalty to him. This is my dream and my greatest wish." A fanatical expression appeared on his face, "He Tell me he needs a crony at Hogwarts who will guide Harry Potter through the Triwizard Tournament and make sure he wins the Triwizard Cup; One who caught it brought it to my master..."
All of Danica's questions were answered, about Crouch's death, about Cedric's death.
The effect of the medicine gradually passed, and little Crouch stopped answering Dumbledore's question. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, with madness in his eyes, "You know what this means," the ugly black tattoo on his arm has never been seen before. Clearly, the poisonous snake in the skull's mouth twisted its body, "He's back!"
Dumbledore ignored the exaggerated smile on his face, and said to Professor McGonagall, "Let the owl send a letter to Azkaban, I think they lost someone." He pushed Harry to go out, at this time Seeing Danica and Fred standing in the corner, "Oh, you're still there, come on, let's go back first, Harry needs to heal the injury on his arm..."
Before Danica left, she took another look at little Crouch and met him for a second. He laughed wildly, "My most proud student, I will be treated like a hero returning, and we will also Goodbye..." She ignored the crazy words and followed Fred away.
The author has something to say:
1. Cedric is dead, Danica is next, and her tragic life is about to begin
2. Hello everyone, this article is about to start abuse
