The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 430 Alastor Moody
This is a very ordinary dwelling, and the layout and decoration of the house are not much different from those of ordinary Muggles.It's just that there are many dim mirrors in the room, and there are glowing spinning tops, which are the looking glasses used by wizards.

The looking glass is a magical prop in the wizarding world. It acts like a detector and can detect danger.When the looking glass makes a sound, or the black shadow in the mirror can be seen clearly, you have to be careful, because someone has bad intentions for you.

When Voldemort was in power, the looking glass was almost a must-have in every household, but in the post-Voldemort era, only some Aurors still have this thing at home.

But with so many placed, Moody may be the only one.

Seeing so many looking glasses in Moody's house, Ada thinks how afraid he is of being attacked!If you know, this is Alastor Moody's house, but if you don't know, you may think this is Moody's looking glass store!

The real Dumbledore and Ada stood in the corner of the room, and the memory Dumbledore sat on the sofa and extended an invitation to Moody.

"Alastor, I need your help." Dumbledore said directly, straight to the point.He and Moody had known each other for years and didn't need those gimmicks.

Moody's voice was hoarse, and he didn't know if it was just like this or if he had been injured. He responded, "I'm already a useless old man, or a bad old man who is suspicious all the time. Albus, I can still help What are you... I can't even help myself."

These words are a bit lonely, the heroes are old and the beauties are old, this is the helplessness of life.The current Moody is a late hero, an Auror who used to be honored, but now no one cares about him, and he is regarded as a madman.

In Ada's view, Moody's paranoia is a bit like ptsd, just like those veterans who participated in the war. After returning to normal society, he couldn't let his psychology return to normal.

Anxiety, tension, and excessive pressure led to his paranoia, and he always felt that someone was trying to harm him.

"Alastor, this meeting made me feel that you are a little strange." Dumbledore said in memory, "You were not like this before, what made you like this today?"

Moody grumbled, but no one heard what he said.

He paused and said, "Maybe you are right. I have indeed changed and become what I hate. I hate a boring, same life, I hate being watched, and I hate my retired self."

"But what can I do!" Moody continued, "The dark wizard I captured with great pains was released by the Ministry of Magic just because he despicably betrayed a few of his accomplices! What are these wounds on my body! What are those who died because of him!"

Ada in the corner of the room looked up at Dumbledore suspiciously, and Dumbledore beside him nodded in affirmation. It seemed that the dark wizard Moody was talking about was Karkaroff.

Perhaps, more than one Karkaroff.Make heroes bleed and cry, the Ministry of Magic really has you.

However, Ada did not have a position to say this. After all, strictly speaking, her grandmother was in the same situation as Karkaroff.Both were supposed to be in prison for reform, but were released by the authorities for other reasons.

Dumbledore in his memory said: "Alastor, Hogwarts will hold the Triwizard Tournament after school starts. At that time, as the headmaster of Durmstrang, Igor Karkaroff will definitely come to Come Gwartz. I need you to keep an eye on him."

"Karkaroff? He's a coward who can't make waves, and he wouldn't dare to give him the courage." Moody said with great certainty, "It took me six months to catch him, this kid Those who have been hiding in XZ all the time, dare not face me."

Moody's strength can be seen from the record of filling half of the cells in Azkaban. There is no doubt about his combat power, and he must belong to the top echelon.

Karkaroff's cowardly behavior, if he dares to get it right with Moody, then there is something wrong.

Dumbledore in his memory was silent, he looked out the window, the sun was setting, and the whole world seemed to be dark.

"Wait, don't you think..." Moody hesitated to speak, and his rough fingers pulled his hair, which was not rich, looking a little funny.

He continued: "You don't think that Karkaroff is just a piece of cheese placed in the open to attract our attention. And there are other people behind everything, right?"

Dumbledore nodded, confirming Moody's guess.

"You're crazy, Albus, you're crazy!" Moody said exaggeratedly. "The officials at the Ministry of Magic will think you are crazy! Just like me!"

"Alastor, you and I, we are not crazy." Dumbledore said, "Only we are still awake, not intoxicated by the superficial peace, only we know that he will come back."

Everyone is drunk and the only one is sober, often at times like this, sober people are the most absurd.Because of their thoroughness, those who look at the world with drunken eyes will regard them as lunatics, and will laugh at them and exclude them.

Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through.

Ada didn't know why Moody left the Ministry of Magic in the first place. Maybe it was because he retired after success, maybe he was squeezed out, or forced by Shangfeng.But judging from the conversation between the two in memory, Moody clearly knew that Voldemort was only temporarily defeated.

"What do you need me to do? To take over that hapless position?" Moody pondered for a while, then said, "You need someone to monitor Karkaroff, or the movements of the people behind the scenes, and you also need someone to protect Harry Potter ,Is it right?"

In his memory, Dumbledore withdrew his gaze from the window, and said, "Yes, I need your experience. Your experience will be our wealth, and Harry also needs to learn a little more. That's too late."

Moody laughed suddenly, wildly, as if he had heard something interesting.He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It turns out that you also have unexpected things, or you plan to leave everything to Harry Potter."

"Of course I am not sure about things. If everything goes as I wish, there will be a lot less misfortune in this world." Dumbledore said, "Alastor, I thought I could wait until Harry grows up, and wait until he grows up." More mature. But everything is always so unpredictable."

Moody fell silent again, and he moved his nose, as if the aroma of food came from the next door.Moody said: "Albus, it seems that my old bones really need to be exercised."

The memory dissipated like smoke again, and the screen turned black again. Ada felt Dumbledore beside her support her arm, and then she returned to the principal's office.

The light that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes caused Ada to cover her eyes for a while. Taking advantage of this moment, the past principals in the frame fell into a "sleep" again.

Dumbledore sat on the steps of his office, his long white beard hanging down to the ground.Ada picked up the glass of fruit juice that was no longer cold, and also sat on the steps.

These two memories brought great confusion to Ada. She felt as if she had touched the truth, but she didn't seem to have it at all.Two seemingly unrelated memories, is there any connection between them?

"Professor, don't you think that Professor Moody is a bit strange?" Ada asked suspiciously. She always felt that Moody was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell where it was.

Dumbledore glanced at Ada with satisfaction, and said, "This is the first time you have come into contact with Alastor. You can feel that he is a little strange. It is already a remarkable discovery."

"Do you think he's weird too?" Ada asked again.

"No, Alastor is not surprising at all." Dumbledore said, "His performance fits... well, how to put it... yes, it fits his crazy personality very well."

Ada was a little confused by the old man in front of her.Since Dumbledore thinks Moody is not strange, why should he review the memories of himself and Moody?
Dumbledore changed the subject and continued: "It's normal for a crazy person to do weird things, but our Professor Moody seems to be too normal."
