Crouch's disappearance and Krum's knocking out caused an uproar, but it was quickly suppressed by the Ministry of Magic.
They are a special group in the Ministry of Magic. Although this term's Minister of Magic, Fudge, is very partial to extreme purebloods, he is more concerned about the reputation of the Ministry of Magic.
The disappearance of the Ministry of Magic officials is definitely a provocation to the Ministry of Magic, and it is also related to the attack on a Nordic Triwizard Tournament warrior.
If Karkaroff makes a new report, it will develop into an international incident and the Ministry of Magic will be embarrassed.
"Look for it!" Fudge led the Aurors to Hogwarts aggressively, and led the Aurors to the Forbidden Forest before meeting Dumbledore.
Of course, he wasn't searching blindly.
"Go find Potter. As for the other warrior, let him have a good rest and send some people to express condolences to Karkaroff."
"Yes!" Following Fudge's vigorous actions, the Aurors began to move.
The little wizards were also attracted by Fudge's actions.
Unfortunately, until the afternoon, the Ministry of Magic searched the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest and found no trace of Crouch.
】
A tired Harry was brought back, and Fudge went to Dumbledore's office.
And Bree was also called over.
"Sorry to bother you, Odd." Dumbledore smiled helplessly.
Fudge on the other side wiped the sweat from his head and said to Bree: "I hope Mr. Ode can help."
Fudge's tone was a little unwilling and a little aggrieved.
But he didn't want to make things worse.
"Forbidden Forest Contract, we cannot enter too deep into the Forbidden Forest."
Although the Forbidden Forest is located on the British border, it is like a collapsed secret realm. Part of it is exposed, and part of it seems to be hidden in a strange space.
The space there seems to have an owner, and even the Forbidden Forest Contract cannot fully detect it. Perhaps Brie's authority is not enough.
"I can confirm that Mr. Crouch is no longer in the Forbidden Forest."
This was the answer Bree could give Fudge.
"Can you guarantee that Crouch is not in the Forbidden Forest?" Fudge said with a slightly questioning tone.
"I'm not a prisoner, Minister Fudge." Bree glanced at Fudge and continued: "I can confirm that Crouch is not in the Forbidden Forest at this time. I swear by Merlin's magic power."
Fudge snorted and had no choice but to say: "Then just record it in the book and let the others go look for it in other places in Hogwarts."
After speaking, Fudge turned to Dumbledore.
"Albus..."
"I think our Ministry of Magic has to send more Aurors. The warriors of the Triwizard Tournament were attacked. This is definitely a provocation to the British wizarding community!"
"This will be laughed at internationally."
Dumbledore couldn't find any good rebuttal to Fudge's reasons, and he was not prepared to stop him.
"Okay then, I'll let Professor Moody assist you."
Dumbledore thought that Moody was a senior Auror before and would have considerable insights into handling these matters.
"Moody?" Fudge didn't want to deal with Moody 1. After all, when Moody was notorious, he was still a small official with some power in the Ministry of Magic.
Moody didn't take kindly to him.
It's a pity that Dumbledore has already given in, so he can't push further.
"Okay, I will let the people from the Department of Magical Enforcement contact Professor Moody." Fudge emphasized the word professor, reminding Dumbledore that Moody is a professor and cannot interfere too much with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
things.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded.
Fudge smiled and his face became kind.
"By the way, Dumbledore, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you..." Fudge glanced at Bree, his meaning unclear.
"Then I'll take my leave now, Professor Dumbledore."
Bree had no intention of listening to Fudge and Dumbledore's argument and immediately walked out.
At this time, Bree saw Filch pacing hurriedly outside the principal's room.
"Mr. Filch, what can I do for you?"
Filch came to see Bree. When he saw Bree coming out, he immediately came up to him. His wrinkled face was full of worry, and his words were trembling. He no longer had the pretentiousness of the past.
"Oh, you finally came out, thank you Merlin!"
"My Lady Norris is missing."
Mrs. Norris?
"It's lost?" Bree looked at Filch in confusion, and Filch nervously pinched his shabby robe.
"Yes, yesterday, I searched all day today, but she was still nowhere to be found."
"I even feel that its life is passing away and leaving me!"
The look of Filch crying was so ugly that Bree couldn't bear to look at it any longer.
"Okay, how do you want me to help you?"
Bree touched her pocket, and Nagini appeared, listening to Filch's words.
"Map, I once got a map, but it was stolen by those troublemakers. Of course, Dumbledore asked me not to embarrass them."
"I know the map is at Porter's, but Porter won't help me."
Filch looked at Bree with an air of total supplication.
Mrs. Norris can be said to be everything to him.
"No need to look for Harry."
Yesterday when they were in the Forbidden Forest, Bree saw the Marauder's Map that Moody was carrying.
The Marauder's Map was originally supposed to be in Harry's hands, but after this grade, Harry could be said to have considerable trust in Moody.
After all, the Moody pretended by Barty Jr. does have considerable talent in teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.
The knowledge he teaches is very useful to young wizards. The Unforgivable Curse is a curse that changes people's minds when they hear it. What a great reputation.
To sum up, Harry trusted Moody and was probably deceived by Moody into taking away the Marauder's Map.
"I have a way to find Mrs. Norris, as long as she is still in the castle."
The Forbidden Forest Contract in Bree's hand is a mutual aid contract between Hogwarts Castle, Black Lake, and the Forbidden Forest. Bree has certain law enforcement rights.
In addition to the fact that the black dragon, Peeves, returned to the Black Lake, Bree temporarily lost part of her contractual sovereignty. Both the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts also had a certain amount of authority because they did not have a completely dominant owner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Forbidden Forest Contract quietly appeared in Bree's hand.
Soon, a little green light emitted from the contractor, and then, a little green light jumped down, like a dandelion, spreading from the corridor and disappearing into the wall.
This magic has the same purpose as the Marauder's Map, both communicating the consciousness of the Forbidden Forest Contract.
As for the Marauder's Map, Bree guessed that it was a magic item made with reference to the Forbidden Forest Contract. He didn't know how he managed it, but the Forbidden Forest Contract recognized it.
"Let's go." The contract gave instructions.
"Okay." Filch's eyes flashed with envy and jealousy, but of course, there was not much malice.
His malice was all directed at himself when he knew he was a squib.
The evil he does to others are all thoughts radiated from his body and mind.
"Card……"
After walking for a long time, Brie opened an aisle door.
This is the basement, but Bree found signs that someone had been here.
"Greengrass, and Longbottom." Bree murmured in a low voice, then looked at Filch who was still following behind.
Maybe he shouldn't know what happened next.
"Wait for me here. I'll go take a look. There's a magic defense down there."
Filch stopped suddenly, bowed his waist humbly, and said sincerely with a tearful tone: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but please bring my Mrs. Norris out."
"I will." Brie walked into the dark underground stairs, and the magic traps around her were ineffective, allowing Brie to pass.
The sound of dripping water and his footsteps kept ringing in his ears, but he soon used magic to hide his footsteps so as not to scare the two people below.
"Ass, why did you catch Mrs. Norris?"
"We can use other biological experiments, Filch will cause trouble." Neville's voice was full of worry and pity.
"She is special." Astoria answered Neville in a cold voice.
"You can leave, I don't need your help."
"No... Astoria, why are you taking your own blood?" Neville hurriedly tried to dissuade Astoria before he could refuse.
"Don't move, Longbottom, some blood won't kill me." Astoria said calmly.
But when Bree steps inside—
Astoria put her wand against Neville's neck with a cold look in her eyes, but when she found Bree walking into the secret room, her eyes widened with panic.
Neville, who was already panicking, was stunned on the spot.
Bree looked at the layout of this secret room.
There is a row of shelves filled with transparent glass jars, which contain many animal parts and some special plants.
In the middle is a huge table filled with potion equipment.
"Mrs. Norris?"
Mrs. Norris was lying on the table, motionless, with a bandage on her ankle and a bloody knife beside her.
Bree walked over and came into contact with the petrification magic on Mrs. Norris.
"Old..." Astoria suddenly let go of the wand in her hand, lowering her head and not daring to look at Bree.
"Oude, Ass, she's just... just studying magic." Neville's eyes couldn't hide much.
"You don't know what she's doing and why are you helping her?" Bree looked at Neville.
"Meow..." Mrs. Norris, who had been petrified for a long time, woke up, with a hint of fear in her meow.
It hurriedly rushed to Bree's hand.
"Hiss..." Nagini warned Mrs. Norris not to come closer.
"It's okay." Brie touched Nagini's head and then comforted Mrs. Norris who was huddled on the table.
"I..." Astoria lowered her head in confusion, and Neville on the side said hurriedly: "Ode, Astoria must have her own reasons, she is not a bad person."
"I didn't say anything about her, Longbottom."
There was a green patent leather book placed on the table. As soon as he saw Bree's eyes looking over, he wanted to take it away.
"Wait, Miss Greengrass."
The green book flew into Bree's hand.
"The Witcher Monster"
Brie didn't need to read it to know that it was about blood cursers.
"Natural magic can help you," Bree reminded Astoria.
Astoria pursed her lips, showing no aura in front of Bree.
"I don't have time." Astoria ran out of the secret room with tears in her eyes.
"As!"
Neville hurriedly followed and ran out.
"Meow…"
Bree touched Mrs. Norris and healed her injuries. As the bandages fell off, she recovered.
"Go find Filch quickly, he's worried."
Bree walked out of the secret room, and Mrs. Norris followed quickly.
"Meow meow meow!" Outside the secret room, Filch fell to the ground. Mrs. Norris trotted forward and rubbed against Filch.
"It's all forgotten." Bree glanced at Filch.
I don't know if it was Neville or Astoria who did it.
"Filch is fine." Bree can understand the language of all things, and can naturally tell all things his reminder.
Mrs. Norris stood confused, as if she wanted to wait for Filch to wake up.
"He'll wake up soon."
Bree shook her head and left here.
This forgetting spell is very crude, and I don't know how long it will take Filch to remember it.
…
In the evening, at Slytherin's dinner table, Astoria behaved very differently from before.
She did not sit opposite Bree, but chose to sit next to Draco, talking to Draco from time to time, but Draco did not want to talk to her.
"Brie, are you full..."?
Draco watched Bree remain silent and polite, but quickly eating the green apple pie in front of her, and said helplessly: "Well, why am I being so stupid?"
Draco glanced at Astoria and said dissatisfied: "I guess I'm not that familiar with you."
Astoria did not choose to be silent as before, but responded to Draco coldly.
"I think your father has told you about us."
Draco's eyes flickered and he snorted.
"Are you kidding? Do I have to be you?"
"You have to do it with me, but I'm not a kind person. Leave your thoughts to others..."
"Keep your eyes peeled and don't come close to me."
"Brie, have you eaten? We have agreed to go to the corner tower to practice natural magic tonight."
"We can't do without you as a teacher."
After hearing Draco's words, Bree ate the green apple pie on her fork in one bite, then tapped the table, and soon a freshly baked green apple pie appeared.
"What did you say, Draco?" Bree opened the green apple pie with a knife and fork, not looking at Draco at all.
"Oh, okay, I'll wait for you."
"What bad luck." Draco complained softly, and then looked at Astoria's sister, Daphne.
"Daphne, don't you want to say something to your sister?" Draco's desire to let Daphne take Astoria away was already written on his face.
Daphne and Pansy were eating dinner elegantly, and when they heard Draco say this, they both looked at Astoria.
Pansy wanted to get up with gloomy eyes, but Daphne held her back.
"I'm sorry, Draco, Astoria is now the princess of the Greengrass family, and I don't dare to do the following." The jealousy on Daphne's face was not concealed, but she could only speak decent words.
But this also told Draco that the Greengrass family was investing in Astoria.
Judging from Astoria's current goals, the output of this investment is likely to be him!
