Professor McGonagall stared at Harry and Ron, with deep anger in her eyes.
If corporal punishment of students was not illegal, she would have locked them both in an airtight room filled with Bludgers.
Moody stood in the corner, leaning on a cane, admiring the trophies collected by Professor McGonagall in the window.
He discovered that the last time Gryffindor won the House Cup was in the 1984-1985 school year. In other words, it had been nine years without a championship.
However, Moody glanced at Harry and Ron who were caught wandering at night, and he felt relieved instantly.
With students like this, if Gryffindor House wants to win the House Cup, it may have to rely on Dumbledore, the principal, to engage in favoritism.
It's not enough to add a few extra points. You have to get one or two hundred extra points to make up for the huge gap.
Snape also stared at Harry and Ron, his face full of gloating, trying desperately not to laugh out loud.
"Tell me, why did you two stay up so late at night and go out for a night walk?" Professor McGonagall finally asked.
Harry and Ron lowered their heads and did not speak. They were each thinking quickly about the reasons for the night trip.
They certainly couldn't tell Hagrid, but other reasons were not reliable.
"Potter and Weasley may have seen Scamander capture Peter Pettigrew and receive the Order of Merlin." Snape said in a sinister tone:
"They both also want to try and catch Barty Crouch so they can get the Order of Merlin."
"We don't!" Harry said harshly.
"Then what are you doing?" Mag said coldly:
"After Barty Crouch escaped from prison, Professor Dumbledore gave repeated orders not to leave the lounge at night. Why did you two stay up and wander outside in the middle of the night?"
Professor McGonagall said angrily: "Both of you will be imprisoned, and Gryffindor will be deducted one hundred points, one hundred points for each of you!"
"One hundred percent?"
Harry and Snape shouted in unison.
The two looked at each other and said at the same time:
"It's too much!"
"Too little!"
The two looked at each other again, and Snape was the first to sneer:
"Professor McGonagall, these are extraordinary times. They are no different than before. I think everyone is only deducted 100 points, which is too light. We cannot teach habitual offenders like Potter a lesson.
At least he should be suspended from school temporarily."
Harry stared at Snape speechlessly, thinking: "It's just a night out, so it's too hateful to ask me to suspend school?!"
Of course, Professor McGonagall couldn't let Harry suspend school. She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a loud bang in the distance.
Several people quickly came to the window and looked into the distance, and were immediately dumbfounded:
The Durmstrang magic ship floating on the black lake actually emitted billowing smoke.
Professor McGonagall wanted to see more clearly, so she conjured up several telescopes, and Harry and Ron were also assigned one. Through the telescopes, they saw an even more incredible scene:
Rolf actually appeared on the deck. He held down a black fire dragon and hit the Durmstrang magic ship, and then the ship broke into two pieces.
After a while, he led a group of students to the boat and threw them into the lake one by one.
Ron swallowed and lost his voice:
"Merlin, Rolf sabotaged Durmstrang's ship and threw the students into the lake, trying to drown them!"
Several people looked at Ron in confusion for a while.
…
…
Rolf didn't know it yet, but he was thought to be the culprit.
He was currently riding a firebolt, hovering in mid-air, watching the magic ship split into two, and was also shocked by the movement made by his magic clone.
We are here to save people, not to break up ships!
Well, this broken ship has been burned to such a degree, it doesn't seem to matter whether it is dismantled or not.
Luofu flicked the broom and continued to hover in the air, searching for the students.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen any trace of Karkaroff yet. This Principal Durmstrang must have been buried in the flames, right?
Just when Luofu was confused, he suddenly heard a burst of singing, and then Fox fell from the sky. It hovered in the air for two and a half times, the breeze blew, and its body was ignited with blazing flames.
The flame formed a golden vortex, and Dumbledore floated down from the vortex and landed on the roof of the second floor of the magic ship.
As the principal appeared, he raised the Elder Wand, and with the wand as the center, a circle of ripples invisible to the naked eye spread out.
Those black flames quickly dispersed, like fireflies in the summer night sky, flying into the air like stars.
Seeing this, Rove took a breath and said, "Professor Dumbledore is finally here."
At this time, the ponytailed girl sitting behind the boy came over and said in a quick voice:
"Rolf, I think...I found the wizard who set the fire."
Luo Fu's eyes flashed and he said, "Who?"
Shirley picked up the Hogwarts map, pointed to a certain place and said:
"Barty...Crouch!"
…
…
Standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Barty Crouch looked across the Black Lake and looked at the ship with roaring fire, and his face became extremely ugly.
He knew that it was Durmstrang's magic ship, and there was a group of students on it!
A young wizard suddenly appeared in the woods not far away. He asked in a slightly hoarse teasing voice:
"Is this fireworks show...beautiful?"
Barty Crow was shocked. He didn't expect there was another person behind him. He immediately turned back and raised his wand. The person had already shouted before him: "Expelliarmus!"
Barty Crouch's wand flew away from his hand, flew high in the air, and landed softly in the grass not far away with a pop.
"There are many obstacles!" The man pointed his wand at Crouch again. Crouch was rushing towards his lost wand, but was knocked down halfway.
Crouch lay panting on the ground, staring at the young wizard who attacked him. The man laughed briefly and crisply:
"You must be curious, how do I know you are here."
The young wizard took out a piece of parchment from his arms and patiently explained:
"This map is called the Marauder's Map, and it can reveal the names of all wizards who appear in Hogwarts."

Give me the map and let me find you."
"My master guessed that you would definitely come to Hogwarts to find Dumbledore." The young wizard chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you would actually come."
Barty Crouch narrowed his eyes. He did not expect that such a map would expose his whereabouts.
"Okay, now that I've answered the questions you want to know, it's time for you to answer my questions."
The young wizard looked at the charred boats on the lake with obsessed eyes, with wisps of black smoke and pure white ashes rising from the fire, and asked: "Are these fireworks beautiful?"
Barty Crouch did not answer, but asked: "Did you set the fire?!"
"It's me." The young wizard's lips raised slightly and he said:
"What a masterpiece. You can't see such beautiful fireworks in Azkaban, right?"
Barty Crouch glared at the man and asked, "Why did you set the boat on fire?"
"The reason is very simple." The young wizard narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Igor Karkaroff is on the ship. He betrayed the master. Of course I have to clean him up."
"Karkaroff is the first traitor to die tonight, but he is not the absolute last... Albert, Snape... they will all be liquidated one by one."
Barty Crouch's eyes flashed with anger, and he pursed his lips and said: "There are many students on that ship!"
"I know that Durmstrang Magic School only recruits pure-blood wizards. Many noble pure-bloods will definitely die tonight. It is indeed regrettable!"
The young wizard said this, but there was no look of regret on his face. Instead, he said jokingly:
"Who made them Karkaroff's students? Traitors are like poisonous weeds, and the students taught by Karkaroff are the roots of the weeds. They must be uprooted and killed, otherwise they will spread everywhere.
"
Barty Crouch looked at the young wizard with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"You...how did you become like this?!"
"What did it look like? You want to say...I became cruel, vicious, and murderous?" The young wizard was amused by Crouch, and he laughed:
"Thirteen years ago, Bella, Rodolphus, and Rabastan kidnapped Longbottom and his wife and tortured them using the Cruciatus Curse until the two became insane.
I also participated in it and contributed a lot."
Barty Crouch Jr. walked out of the grass. He was as skinny as a stick, with floppy blond hair, and dim eyes sunken into his skinny face.
He held a wand in his hand, pointed it at Barty Crouch who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile:
"You see, I have always been like this. My dear father, I... am a Death Eater!"
