Snape didn't make a sound. He just listened quietly to Barty Jr. continue talking. He knew that he didn't need to be a flatterer, and Barty Jr. would tell all his plans himself, because tonight was the final moment to see the results.
when.
"I told you before that I investigated a lot of information about Jon Green, not only his experiences before entering the carriage, but also after he entered the carriage to go to school. I also specifically went to find the Weird man in the Ministry of Magic.
The Sly fools learned a few things. Among them was the girls Jon Green was closest to at school."
"I learned from him that the only one in the entire carriage was the Mudblood girl he had rescued from the castle in front of everyone - Hermione Granger, who had a closer relationship with him. That fool thought
I wanted to hear his complaint, telling me that when he had a quarrel with Jon Green, this girl named Granger stood by and defended Jon Green. This kind of thing is perfectly normal.
, scenes of heroes saving beauties and falling in love at first sight are not uncommon in both the wizarding world and the dirty society of Muggles. If you have to choose a dance partner to attend a dance, then Jon Greene’s most likely choice is this one.
Hermione's girl."
"After getting this conclusion, it couldn't be easier to investigate Hermione. She had lived in the castle for more than a year, and not all the Mudbloods who were at the same level as her were rescued along with them.
I extracted a few memories of Mudbloods who knew her, and it became extremely clear what kind of character this girl is. Brave, kind and compassionate, ha, at first glance, they all have weaknesses. She is a simple and easy target to deal with.
, it may not be easy to deceive Jon Green about some things. That boy does not look like a student of this age at all. He seems to be able to understand some things at a glance, and such a boy is also fifteen years old.
It’s much easier to attack a little girl who has no reputation.”
Little Barty squinted his eyes and looked through the crowd with a smile as he looked at Hermione's right hand, which she raised toward the candlelight. There was an inconspicuous white bracelet on it.
"Did you see that the bait has been successfully hung on the fishhook? As long as there is no problem with the bait you made, we will have a good show tonight."
Snape's voice was calm. He did not look at the bracelet on Hermione's hand that he had made by himself. Instead, he looked at the candlesticks floating in the air in the auditorium. The bright candlelight reflected his pair of hands.
Empty eyes.
"The magic potions I have refined have not made any mistakes so far. If you had doubts about my ability, you would not have approached me to share the credit that should have been all yours.
"
Little Barty crossed his legs and leaned back in a relaxed chair. He watched the flying candlesticks gradually gather in the center of the auditorium. After a band wearing tattered non-mainstream clothes appeared, the entire auditorium began to
became quiet.
"Then let us enjoy it slowly."
As his voice fell, melodious music sounded gently in the already quiet auditorium, which heralded that today's dance party was about to begin.
When the lantern on the table went out, Jon pulled Hermione and stood up from the chair. Diane and George beside them also stood up.
Not only them, but Draco pulled the girl named Pansy, and Emil held the girl named Selwyn in his arms, and danced to the center of the auditorium along with the sad and quiet music.
They were being watched by everyone around them, which made Jon always feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the dance steps he had practiced with Rozier for two whole months still worked, and he did not accidentally step on Hermione.
That stupid thing about those white feet.
"To be honest, I always feel that you and Professor Dumbledore are hiding something from me."
Jon's face was so close to Hermione's that he could even clearly feel each other's warm breath. It was the first time he was so close to a girl, and in addition, he had no interest in dancing.
So let’s just find some topics to talk about at this time.
"It's not that I'm hiding anything from you, but the professor said that you already have enough energy to cope with the competition, so there are some things that we can handle that we don't need to let you know."
Jon put his arm around Hermione's slender waist and spun her around in a circle.
"So what are you doing tonight?"
"You really want to know?"
Hermione looked at Jon, she blinked her long eyelashes, and her eyes illuminated by the candlelight were like twinkling stars in the dark night.
"Maybe you could talk to me about that part about me?"
Hearing his words, Hermione couldn't help but laugh. The corners of her mouth curved in a wonderful way, seeming to eclipse everything around her.
"Then actually everything tonight should be related to you."
Jon was a little puzzled by Hermione's answer. He felt that he was living quite leisurely these days, either going fishing or on the way to fishing. Why did everything have to do with him?
"We will take a break in the middle of the dance, and then I will go to the bathroom, and then another me will come back and sit with you in the auditorium for a while, and finally go out for a walk in the garden."
Hermione did not continue to play riddles, she leaned into Jon's ear and whispered while changing her dance steps to the melody.
"There will be a lot of people staring at us, especially the two people who are behind me now."
Jon raised his head pretending to be casual, and then he saw Barty Crouch Jr., who was leisurely leaning on the recliner on the high platform, and Severus Crouch, who had been expressionless for 365 days.
Snape.
"They have plans to target us today?"
With just a quick thought, Jon could guess that the cause must be that these two people were up to something.

"Remember, I remember her name is Asia Connaird."
"Why do you remember other people's names so clearly? Especially when you said it so openly while dancing with a lady."
"Ahem, cough, it's nothing. I just thought you were too close to her at the time. Don't be tricked and deceived."
"She is not a liar, she was just used by a group of extremely bad liars. I have always kept a distance from the students in the castle, no matter who they are. At that time, you didn't doubt why I suddenly became friends with Asia.
Are you so close?"
"I thought you were too bored in the carriage."
"No matter how boring I am, I still know how to behave. It is dangerous to come into contact with anyone or anything in the castle at this time. On the day I rescued her from those pure-blood students, you were also there, waiting for Asia to go back
From now on, I will always pay attention to her movements on the Marauder's Map and who she comes into contact with in the castle. This is the biggest advantage we have. With the Marauder's Map, these people in the castle are equal to
We have no secrets left, and they don’t know it.”
"So you saw Crouch or Snape in contact with Asia on the Marauder's Map?"
"To be precise, there is only Barty Crouch. He has come into contact with Asia, but the time of each contact is very short, and it is like the two of them just met accidentally in the castle, but even if
Just like this, I came to the conclusion that whether Asiya knew it or not, her contact with me must have something to do with Crouch. After confirming this matter, I immediately went to find Deng
Professor Bullydo, that was the evening when we rescued Asia."
"The professor asked you not to say anything first?"
"Professor Dumbledore said that their ultimate goal must be you, and using Asia to contact me is probably just using me as a springboard. The professor didn't say how to deal with it. He said that he wanted to hear my opinion. At that time, I
I was still doubting whether Asia knew what she was doing, so I decided to stay with her for a while and then see, and then I discovered the second problem."
Hermione gently shook the hand she placed on his shoulder towards Jon, and the sound of the white beads on the bracelet hitting each other was very clear.
"My mother once wore this bracelet, but I also remember it very clearly. When my father gave this gift to my mother, he said that it was a commemorative item for that year. There were only a few sold. This one is mine.
Dad was lucky enough to get the purchase qualification and bought it, and after that, the same model was never sold again. But at that time, Asia told me that her mother gave it to her on her 11th birthday. I was like
It is certain that this was definitely not given to her by her mother, but someone specially found a bracelet that was exactly the same as the one my mother wore and handed it to her in order to attract my attention, and the entire Hogwart
The only person in Citadel who has seen my mother is Barty Crouch, who took me away from home."
Jon couldn't help but feel a little lost while listening to Hermione's calm analysis. He had not forgotten that Hermione was really only fifteen years old!
"On the day I discovered there was something wrong with this bracelet, I confirmed that Asia had been kept in the dark from beginning to end. She was bullied in Hogwarts Castle and planned to sacrifice herself to keep her family safe.
Ordinary girl. It was also at that time that I found Professor Dumbledore, told him all my findings, and discussed with him that maybe we could use this as a springboard to finally plot against you and complete some
We had been worrying about how to complete the plan.”
