The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 436 The Magical Use of the Marauder's Map

Dumbledore's exhortations made Ada puzzled. It was obviously a matter between Moody and Barty Crouch and his son. How could Snape be involved so easily?
I don't understand, Dumbledore has no intention of explaining, so Ada can only keep this sentence in mind, as Dumbledore has other arrangements.

Otherwise, what else can we do?
To break the casserole and ask the end, it is because the other party intends to tell you, but he is still hesitating, so your questioning can get the answer from the other party's mouth.

If the other party has nothing to tell you, even if you break a dozen crucibles, it will be useless, and the other party will still not reveal a word.

Confused, Ada had no choice but to return to the lounge, recalling all the details of Dumbledore's words in a daze, trying to see something.But she still got nothing in the end, and she couldn't figure out what kind of grand plan Dumbledore had in his head.

Those who have thunder in their chest and face like a flat lake can worship the general.If Dumbledore doesn't want you to see something, he can always do it well.

The next morning, Ada caught Harry in an empty classroom, along with Hermione and Ron.

When Ada arrived, they were discussing what happened in the Forbidden Forest last night, Barty Crouch disappeared under everyone's nose.

"So," said Hermione, rubbing her forehead, "either Crouch attacked Viktor, or someone attacked them both when Viktor was not looking."

"It must have been Crouch," said Ron quickly, "so he was gone by the time Harry and Ida got there. That's a pretty quick run."

"I don't think so," said Harry, shaking his head. "He looks weak...I don't think he can Apparate or anything."

At this time, Ada knocked on the door of the classroom, so that the three people noticed herself at the door.Plotting loudly, planning in public, old Gryffindor art.

"There are anti-apparition measures on the grounds of Hogwarts. Even a healthy Crouch cannot apparate in the school." Ada corrected, "This is in "Hogwarts, a piece of school history." "It was mentioned repeatedly."

No one can Apparate at Hogwarts, not even Ada, but she can use Blink instead of Apparating.

Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even mention that book, I've told them countless times, but neither of them can remember it! Not even once!"

Harry and Ron glanced at each other, their confused eyes were exactly the same, they asked each other: Can't Hogwarts Apparate?When did Hermione say that?
"Then... maybe the two of them will only remember this if they see what's in the books with their own eyes, or if they apparate themselves in school."

Ada smiled and said that sometimes she really admired Harry and Ron, these two fools. They are so confused but always manage to turn danger into good fortune. It is worth mentioning that they are lucky.

Ada admires Hermione more than Harry and Ron, two fools.If Hermione was replaced by herself, she would have been furious, and might even strangle them both to death one by one.

"Harry, what did Barty Crouch tell you last night before you ran out of the Forbidden Forest?" Ada asked.

"He was talking incoherently, he seemed mentally disturbed, and he was not in good physical condition." Harry recalled, while saying, "He said he was going to warn Dumbledore that he had done something stupid himself, He also mentioned his son."

This is just right, when a person's mind is not normal, everyone will listen to what he says as crazy.However, people ignore the unbelievable truth that often hides in these crazy words.

Barty Crouch wanted to remind Dumbledore and mentioned his son, which proved once again that Barty Jr. was indeed alive.The only people in the world who knew that Barty Jr. was alive were Crouch himself, and maybe Winky the house-elf.

Ada continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, he also mentioned the missing Bertha Jorkins," said Harry, "and he seemed to believe that Bertha Jorkins was dead, and he also believed that Bertha's death was his fault. "

Of course it was caused by Crouch, and Ada's previous guess was once again confirmed.

Previously, Ada believed that the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins was not as simple as the Ministry of Magic thought. It was very likely that Bertha knew some secrets that she should not know, so she was artificially disappeared.

Crouch, who is now in an abnormal state, "does not blame himself" and takes the blame on himself. Doesn't this mean that Ada's thinking is right?

Bertha Jokin once visited Barty Crouch because of work or other reasons. She accidentally discovered the secret of her boss. She discovered that Barty Jr., who should have died, was still alive.

As a result, Bertha Jorkins was transferred from the International Cooperation Division.And she didn't tell anyone about the secret she saw, probably because she "forgot" it.

Memory is a very fragile thing in the wizarding world. Memory can be forgotten or modified.

As for the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins, and even her death, Ada is still not sure who did it.

After thinking for a while, Ada asked again: "Harry, where is your map? Is the Marauder's map still in your hand?"

"You...do you want to use it?" Harry was a little embarrassed, because the map was no longer in his hands. "For some reason, the Marauder's Map was discovered by Professor Moody, and then he confiscated it."

I see, no wonder Moody at school last night was able to do everything in such a short amount of time to make Barty Crouch look like he evaporated.

Ada had reason to suspect that Moody had been using a map to monitor what was going on in the school all this time.

Last night, he also found Crouch on the map first, so he went to the Forbidden Forest immediately, trying to dissuade or control Crouch.

It's just that Moody came late, and Crouch first met Harry and Krum who were chatting alone.

Maybe it was because there were so many people that it was difficult to do it, or maybe it was other reasons, Moody didn't do it for a long time.It wasn't until Harry left that Moody knocked Krum unconscious and reined in a mad Crouch.

But Moody probably didn't expect that Harry would come back soon, and brought another person with him.

In order not to expose himself, Moody had to deal with the scene hastily, and then hurried back to the castle, pretending to meet Snape by chance, and giving himself a full alibi.

This is what Ada has never figured out, why Moody's actions are so fast, always one step ahead; how did he meet Snape accurately in the castle, not only gave himself an alibi, but also Get him back in time to clean up the mess in the Forbidden Forest.

With the Marauder's Map, these problems are easily solved.

Moody could see everyone's movements ahead of time, cleverly avoid everyone, and then have a beautiful encounter with Snape.

"Ada, what do you think of this matter?" Hermione asked, "Mr. Crouch must not be volatile! There is no trace left."

After thinking for a while, Ada felt that she should choose something to say, because some people are too impulsive and their acting skills are too bad.She replied: "Of course Crouch is not volatile, he just disappeared, maybe like Bertha Jorkins."

"Like Bertha Jorkins..." Hermione repeated herself, and then subconsciously covered her mouth to keep herself from speaking, she already understood what Ada meant.

Although it was a few seconds late, Harry and Ron figured it out quickly, and Harry couldn't help saying, "Why is this..."

"Human beings are always full of curiosity about secrets, but those who know too many secrets often put themselves to death." Ada said, "Especially when these secrets involve another huge conspiracy."

Hermione thought for a while, then asked uncertainly: "Ada, are you saying that Mr. Crouch's disappearance is related to that person?"

Ada was relieved to see Hermione use "that person" instead of "Voldemort" straight up.

Ada nodded to confirm Hermione's suspicion, and then asked Harry, "Harry, can you tell me about your summer dream?"
