Chapter 534 Ostrich
As soon as the four of them entered the office, they saw Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick surrounding the box with seven locks, discussing something intensely.
Professor Sprout, Minister Fudge, and Mr. Ludo Bagman stood quietly at a distance without saying a word.
Professor Sprout and Cornelius Fudge both had serious expressions on their faces. Although Bagman's expression was much more relaxed, there was still a trace of sadness between his brows.
He wanted to speak several times to calm down his mood, but he took the initiative to swallow it because the atmosphere was too tense.
Until Professor McGonagall showed up with Fish and Harry.
"Ha! Thank God! You're all safe!"
The sorrow on Ludo Bagman's face was swept away. He jumped up to greet him, looking in a good mood, which was in sharp contrast to the other people with solemn expressions - Professor Sprout and Although Minister Fudge also looked happy, he was still worried.
Professor McGonagall frowned, very dissatisfied with Bagman's performance, but she also knew that Bagman had this kind of personality, so she didn't say anything more, but nodded to him coldly, which was considered a response, Professor Snape He even ignored him directly.
Bagman didn't mind the indifferent behavior of McGonagall and Professor Snape, because he had encountered this kind of treatment too many times in the Ministry of Magic and had long been accustomed to it.
What's more, he is in a much better mood now that his gambling debts have been paid off. Even if someone spits in his face now, he feels that he probably won't be able to get angry.
"Professor Dumbledore and the others are trying to crack the box and find out if there are any secrets hidden inside." Bagman continued to laugh and explain the current situation to Professor McGonagall and the others, "But you are back now. They don’t have to be in such a hurry to open it.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Harry shout: "No! The real Professor Moody is probably hidden in that box!"
Everyone turned their attention to Harry who was speaking. Most people looked a little surprised. Only Professor Dumbledore had a "Sure enough" expression on his face.
"Real Moody? What do you mean, Harry?"
Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, rushed over, grabbed Harry's shoulders and asked loudly.
"Professor Moody who took me away was not the real Professor Moody, but a Death Eater who used Polyjuice Potion." Harry felt a little uncomfortable being caught by Fudge, twisted his body, and replied: "So the real Professor Moody Professor Dee should be locked up by him because he needs to get hair from Professor Moody."
However, Fudge didn't care at all what would happen to Mad-Eye Moody at this time. He continued to ask: "Death Eater?! Who is it?!"
"Barty Crouch Jr." A surprising name came out of Harry's mouth.
"Barty Crouch Jr?!" Fudge repeated, his voice changing slightly, "Impossible!" He screamed: "Barty Crouch Jr. died in Azkaban a long time ago! The corpses are all Already buried!"
"That's what I saw with my own eyes!" Harry, who was doubted, responded angrily: "I have seen his appearance in Professor Dumbledore's pensieve. I will definitely not admit it!"
"But...but this is impossible..." Fudge still looked in disbelief. He shook his head and said: "No one can escape from Azkaban under the watchful hands of dementors, let alone the original one." The body of Barty Crouch Jr. was buried by members of the Ministry of Magic."
"I think you may have forgotten Sirius Black, Cornelius." Dumbledore came over and said softly, making Fudge's face instantly become extremely ugly.
"That, that was just an accident!" Minister Fudge said harshly.
"Since there was an accident, why can't there be a second one?" Dumbledore still maintained a gentle attitude and said, "As for the little Barty you buried back then..." He looked at Snape standing aside. , "Severus, if someone who is using Polyjuice Potion dies, will they change back?"
"No." Snape pursed his thin lips and replied coldly.
"This is just your guess!"
Fudge was still arguing that he would not allow the Ministry of Magic to have another scandal about a prisoner escaping from Azkaban, even if the fugitive did not escape during his tenure.
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Harry roared from the side.
"Maybe you saw it wrong. He just looks a lot like Barty!" Fudge waved his hand impatiently. At this time, he didn't have time to take care of the "Boy Who Lived" mood.
"He is Barty Crouch Jr.! That's what Voldemort called him too!" Harry continued to roar.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
"You, you, who are you talking about?!" Fudge's tone changed again, and even Ludo Bagman couldn't keep the smile on his face.
"Voldemort!" Harry said angrily: "Voldemort is resurrected! Little Barty captured me just to use my blood to resurrect his master!"
Fudge was shocked, as if someone had struck him head-on. He blinked drowsily and stared at Harry blankly, as if he couldn't quite believe what he had just heard. He stammered, still glaring at Harry.
"The mysterious man...is back? That's nonsense. Stop joking, Harry...I know something terrible happened to you today, but that's not the reason for you to lie."
"I didn't lie!" Harry looked at Fudge in surprise. He suddenly found that he didn't seem to recognize him. "I saw Voldemort resurrect with my own eyes! And he summoned his subordinates!"
He paused, pointed at the cat who had begun to doze off and said, "Fish saw it too!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Fish. The cat had his head drooping and his body swaying. If it weren't for one hand still holding McGonagall's robe, he would have fallen to the ground.
(—ω—)
Before turning into a tiger and awakening spells, Fish was still a bit overloaded. After the excitement gradually faded, fatigue surged into the cat's heart, so he had been in a half-awake state of dozing since entering Hogwarts Castle. When he moved, he subconsciously grabbed the corner of Professor McGonagall's clothes and was dragged away by her.
Professor McGonagall had already discovered that the cat was dozing off, but she didn't wake Fish up at that time. After all, the sleeping cat had no time to make trouble. It wouldn't be too late to wake him up when something really happened.
And now is the time to wake up Fish...
"Fish! Fish! Wake up!"
"Meow?"
(Φω)
Mao Mao raised his head drowsily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked at the people around him in confusion.
"Minerva, is it time for breakfast, meow?"
Fish smacked his lips and tilted his head to ask Professor McGonagall beside him.
"No!" Professor McGonagall replied unhappily, and then she looked at Fish seriously and asked: "Fish, can you tell me where you were sent by the portkey and what happened?"
"Oh..."
(ε)
Hearing that there was nothing to eat, Fish pouted unhappily.
"When Fish touched the trophy, his eyes blurred and he was sent to a cemetery. Before Fish could react, a black thing emerged from the ground and wrapped Fish up..."
Mao Mao talked about his experience after being teleported away by the Triwizard Cup in a gloomy manner.

I had a dream last night. I dreamed that someone did something bad and deleted everything in my computer and put a virus in it…My first reaction at that time was “I have an excuse not to update”…
When I woke up and found out it was just a dream…I felt…very sorry.
