Chapter 468 Little Cat in Action

Barty Crouch Jr. was wandering outside Snape's office, his magic eye peering in from time to time.

Isn't Snape on night shift today? Why does he stay in his office all the time?

Little Barty was very depressed. He had been waiting here for a while, but Snape had been walking around in his office, seeming to be mixing some potion, with no intention of doing night patrol.

In fact, little Barty can also understand that as a potion master, when entering the state of drug research, school patrols are not so important.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and you will still be depressed if you are depressed... Isn't this too coincidental?

Little Barty was a little confused. He didn't know whether he should continue to stay here and wait for Snape to leave, or wait for the next opportunity to come back.

After struggling for a while, he decided to leave first.

Because Snape seems to have no sign of ending, and the polyjuice potion in his hand is still enough for the time being...

"Tsk!"

Little Barty smacked his lips in displeasure and limped out of the basement.

Just as his prosthetic leg stepped onto the stairs, Barty suddenly felt that the thief induction spell he had left in the office was triggered.

Little Barty, who had a guilty conscience, was nervous at first, thinking that Dumbledore had discovered a flaw in him, but he quickly came to his senses...

The person who touched the induction spell should be Fei Xu.

Little Barty stepped back on the stairs. He thought it would be good to let Fish suffer a little in his office.

As for whether the real Moody will be discovered, Barty is not worried at all. Without the magic key on his body to open the lock, whether they use violence to break the box open or use other unlocking spells, they can only see the first contents of the box.

So, little Barty turned around again, planning to continue squatting on Snape.

On the other side, Fish and Hermione left the Gryffindor dormitory and went straight to Moody's office.

"Meow?" (Fish, where are you going?)

Not long after coming out, Hermione noticed that Fish was different from his usual walks. Usually Fish was completely aimless and would scratch his paws or roll around when he saw something interesting.

But today, as soon as the cat got out of the hole in the wall, he ran straight to the stairs with a clear purpose.

Hermione, who was worried that Fish was going to get into trouble again, asked quickly.

"Meow~ meow, meow, meow~" (Fish is going to see Professor Moody. He once said that there are many interesting things in his office.)

(=ω=)

Fish answered Hermione's question vaguely.

However, Hermione had been with cats and cats for so long under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, so naturally she would not be fooled like this.

"Meow?" (Interesting thing? What exactly?)

"Meow...meow?" (Just some magic traps and the like...probably similar to the age line?)

(=ω=)

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Fei Xu could only speak honestly, but he didn't particularly care...

He passed Dumbledore's age limit. Moody is obviously not as powerful as Dumbledore, and the traps should not be as troublesome as the age limit.

Maomao made a very simple reasoning.

Hermione: "..."

She knew it!

Fish had always disliked Professor Moody, and Hermione had actually speculated that Maomao might go to have a fight with Professor Moody after successfully registering.

To be honest, just breaking into an office is not that bad of a situation...

You must know that there are already rumors in Hogwarts that "Fish's beating of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was part of the curse of the mysterious man", and Hermione guessed that this probably came from Ron.

Therefore, Hermione did want to stop Fish at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she thought it would be a good idea to let Fish break into Moody's office. After venting his resentment, he probably wouldn't go. Got a fight with Professor Moody.

Of course, this is mainly because Hermione doesn't know Mad-Eye Moody well enough, otherwise she would probably still stop Maomao.

After a while, the two cats arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's office on the third floor.

Fei Xu has been to this office several times before.

In the first year, Quirrell's smell was so strong that Fish had no interest in going in.

So the first time Fish entered this office was on the night Mrs. Norris was petrified, and they followed Lockhart in.

At that time, the walls were covered with Lockhart's photos. Apart from those unsightly photos, the most conspicuous ones were the various honors Lockhart had received and the books he had written, all of which he placed on the wall opposite the door. on the shelf.

In addition, there are various wardrobes with mirrors, and there are various exquisite carvings on the wardrobes. Lockhart also planted flowers in his office and sprayed perfume everywhere. There is very little about teaching.

The next time I came to this office was when Lu Ping came to teach last year. Because he occasionally teaches in his office.

During the time Lu Ping used it, this office seemed much simpler. Apart from the original desks and chairs, the beds and wardrobes in the cubicles, it was basically just some teaching aids and his old shabby suitcase that he never left behind. ...the exact opposite of Lockhart.

I don’t know what the style of Professor Moody’s office will be like.

With such curiosity, Maomao, who returned to human form, carefully and skillfully set up a soundproof barrier nearby, and then pointed the wand at the door of Moody's office...

"Open the Alaho hole!"

(ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.

The office door was unresponsive.

"It's no use, meow."

Maomao was not discouraged, after all, he had never seen such a situation before.

Putting the wand in his belt, Fish took two steps forward and grabbed the edge of the door with both hands.

Hermione, who was still in the form of a little black cat, saw Fish's actions and helplessly covered her cat's face with her paws.

"Meow!"

ヽ(●-`Д-)ノ

With a wave of his arms, Fish removed the door of Professor Moody's office.

But as soon as Maomao took down the door, two ropes flew out of nowhere and wrapped around Feishu instantly.

"Meow?"

∑(`Д)

Fei Xu held the door panel high with both hands and was tied tightly with ropes.

Throwing the door panel aside casually, Feishu's body instantly shrunk and returned to his cat form, and the rope wrapped around him immediately came loose and fell to the ground feebly.

"It's nothing compared to Minerva's rope, meow."

(●`●)

Fish, who had regained his human form, looked at the pile of ropes at his feet that were no longer moving, and said proudly to Hermione.

Hermione, who was lying on the window sill not far away and watching all this, lazily swung her tail and meowed to cheer up Fish.

Hermione had no intention of going in with Fish. Firstly, it was because she didn't think she had the strength to deal with Professor Moody's magic trap, and following Fish would only cause chaos; secondly...

It was Feish who asked her to stay outside and give him a break.

Because Professor McGonagall's office was downstairs, the little cat was worried that if she came up and caught him, he asked Hermione to tip him off outside so that the cat could run away in advance...

Although Hermione didn't understand the point of doing this, since Cat asked, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

Fish picked up the door panel that he had thrown aside and placed it against the wall. Then he waved to Hermione who was not far away and walked into Professor Moody's office.

As for why little Barty wanted to steal Snape's medicinal materials, I guess it is probably because African tree snake skin is a material that is difficult to obtain and relatively unpopular, and there may not be too much on the market.

Another reason may be that he is worried that if he goes to purchase these materials, Dumbledore will find out and see the flaws...

However, there is one thing to say, these explanations are actually not perfect, because Old Barty was under the Imperius Curse at this time, and he could have asked his father to help purchase these things. As Old Barty, he wanted to get them. These things are still very simple.

Who knows what Rowling was thinking.

The temperature dropped suddenly and rhinitis came back...it felt so uncomfortable!
