Chapter 490 Fei Xu Is so Well Behaved!

At first, Barty suspected that this Snape in Hogwarts might be Voldemort's backer.

As for why Voldemort didn't tell him, Barty didn't have any negative emotions about it. Instead, he felt that he had to behave well so that his master would trust him more in the future.

But after carefully observing Snape for a while, Barty felt that he might have thought too much.

Because Snape didn't have to drink something every once in a while like himself to maintain his transformation, so he shouldn't be a fake.

Of course, it is also possible that Snape, the potion master, developed some kind of polyjuice potion that can increase time, but then the question is back again... With this kind of potion technology, this Snape is unlikely to be a fake.

It's impossible that Snape just happened to develop this long-lasting polyjuice potion, and then someone happened to get the formula and replace him, right?

But Barty couldn't take the initiative to ask Snape the truth, and... why all the African tree snake skins in his inventory disappeared, so Barty, who couldn't figure out what was going on, could only put this matter aside for the time being.

For him, the more important thing at the moment is... how to get new African tree snake skin to replenish the Polyjuice Potion that is running out.

It's not that he can't afford it, but this thing is rare in the market in England. Unless you go to Africa to find local wizards to buy it, it's not easy to find a store that sells African tree snake skin in England.

There are currently two methods in front of little Barty. Find time to leave Hogwarts and go to Africa to buy some African tree snake skin, or tell the owner who is hiding in his home and let him find a way to get some for him.

If possible, little Barty doesn't want to bother his master with this matter, because it will make him look useless, but the first method has the risk of being discovered by others...

In fact, there was originally a third method, which is to control his father to purchase or ask someone for some.

However, the trouble is that since he was frightened by Firth's mermaid voice in the first project, Barty has shown signs of breaking free from the Imperius Curse. Just in case, he has controlled Barty to ask for leave from the Ministry of Magic, and then took him home to be guarded by Pettigrew.

After thinking for a long time, Barty decided to do it himself.

Anyway, it will be Christmas soon, and it won't be too abrupt even if he leaves Hogwarts for a few days, but if he leaves a bad impression on the Dark Lord, it will be unacceptable to Barty.

In addition to Barty Crouch, there is another person who is also troubled by the news about Rita Skeeter.

That person is Mr. Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic.

Not long after reporting Firth's personal interview, Rita Skeeter published a new report in the Daily Prophet. This time, Ms. Skeeter did not forget her original intention and chose to fire at the Ministry of Magic again.

The content of the report was dug up from Fish, about the two Dementors attacking students that were deliberately suppressed by the Ministry of Magic last year.

In the article, Rita Skeeter, as always, used her sharp pen to criticize and satirize the Ministry of Magic, and then gave Fish a wave of reputation... After all, the Dementors were repelled by the cat twice.

Of course, the fact that Harry fainted from the Dementors was also dug up by Rita Skeeter. She once again described Harry as a poor boy with a fragile mentality, causing Harry to receive a lot of sympathetic letters... Although Harry didn't want it at all.

As for the fact that Harry practiced the Patronus Charm and had overcome the Dementors, it was not surprising that Skeeter ignored it gorgeously.

Fortunately, the main target of this article is still the Ministry of Magic, so apart from some sympathetic letters and the occasional ridicule of Slytherin students led by Malfoy, Harry's current situation is not bad.

Because of the first project, most students have recognized his identity as a warrior, and his good friend Ron has reconciled with him, so for Harry, this little trouble now is nothing compared to before.

Cornelius Fudge is not as open-minded as Harry.

In the eyes of the Minister of Magic, it was Dumbledore who instructed Fitch to reveal the news that he had suppressed last year to reporters, with the purpose of undermining his prestige and preparing to seize the position of Minister of Magic in the future.

Anyway, he didn't believe that such a good kid like Fitch would deliberately come to oppose him... It must be the instigation of Dumbledore, the shrewd guy!

Fitch basically didn't know anything about the subsequent impact of his interview, or even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. He lived his leisurely and happy campus life as always.

Especially after receiving the shorthand quill pen from Rita Skeeter, Phish no longer needed to write his homework himself. He only needed to lick the tip of the black and white striped quill pen and then place it vertically on the homework, and it would automatically help Phish write his homework.

The only drawback was that Phish still needed to read the homework questions himself and report the answers before the shorthand quill pen would start working. But in any case, it was much more comfortable than writing homework by himself before.

However, the Gryffindor girls were not so happy. After Fish had this shorthand quill, the efficiency of doing homework was instantly improved a lot, which resulted in them spending less time with the cats to do homework, so Rita Skeeter was hated by them unconsciously.

…

"Potter! Weasley! Can you pay attention a little?"

Professor McGonagall's annoyed voice crackled like a whip in the Transfiguration classroom on Thursday, startling Harry and Ron to look up.

The class was about to end. They had completed the homework assigned by the teacher. They had also copied the homework on the blackboard into their notebooks. The bell for the end of get out of class would ring at any time.

So Harry and Ron, who thought there was nothing else to do, each took a fake wand invented by Fred and George, and competed with each other in swordsmanship in the back row of the classroom.

"Can you two behave in a way that is appropriate to your age?" Professor McGonagall said, glancing angrily at the two children who behaved childishly.

Ron and Harry quickly put their fake wands into the table and pretended to sit upright.

"I have a few words to say to all of you," Professor McGonagall continued after making sure that everyone was listening carefully: "The Christmas ball is coming - this is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to interact with foreign guests. This is the case. The ball is only open to students above the fourth grade... But if you like, you can invite a junior student..."

Lavender Brown let out a shrill giggle. Parvati Patil poked her hard, and Parvati's facial muscles were also tense because she was trying hard not to laugh.

The girls all cast their eyes on Fish, who was sitting seriously but was actually in a daze.

ω

Fish and Hermione knew about the ball from Ms. Estella of the Elegant Clothing Store before school started, but at Hermione's request, Maomao did not tell other students about it.

Now everyone finally knew about the dance, and as expected, those girls coveted the cat at the first time, but Hermione raised her head without hesitation and looked at the group of girls.

Seeing Hermione's unyielding appearance, the other little witches were very unwilling, but finally withdrew their eyes helplessly.

"You must wear your dresses and robes. The dance will be held in the hall at 8 o'clock on Christmas night and end at midnight." Professor McGonagall certainly noticed the girls' little movements, but she didn't care, and continued to tell everyone the time and requirements of the Christmas dance.

Finally, she reminded: "If a Gryffindor student embarrasses the school in any way, I will feel very sad."

But everyone was focused on the upcoming dance at this time, and didn't care at all. As the bell rang, everyone quickly packed up their things and started a heated discussion.

"Fish, and Potter... Please stay for a moment, I want to say a few words to you." Professor McGonagall raised her voice and shouted in the noise.

"Fish was listening to the class carefully just now! He didn't make trouble!"

I found that I still overestimated Harry's height at that time. There is a paragraph in the original book where a fifth-grade girl came to Harry to be a dance partner. Harry said, "She is one foot taller than me", which is about 30 centimeters, and this girl is only one year older than Harry.

Even if girls generally develop earlier than boys, there is an exaggeration in Harry's words, so about 20 centimeters should be there.

Calculating the height of the girl according to 165, Harry's current height should be less than 150. If calculated according to Harry's original words, it is less than 140.

Then three years later, Harry's height is about the same as his father, and James is described as "tall and thin"... He is tall, so he must be more than 180, which means that Harry has grown 40 centimeters or more in 3 years.

There are no two episodes broadcasted consecutively. It seems that they are not going to reshoot the missed case, but to cut out an extra week of content from the existing cases...

If Deng Lun participates in more than one case in the future, it is estimated that there will be more cases where one case takes two weeks.
