Chapter 133
Where did Sirius get the wand? Of course Andy gave it to him!
After Andy seized Lucius Malfoy's wand, he never used it. Now it happened to be handed over to Sirius.
If it wasn't Andy, how could Sirius appear in Hogwarts at this time?
This was planned by Andy a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with Dumbledore.
The real Moody has been imprisoned in the office by Barty the Younger. In order to rescue the real Alastor Moody, Barty the Younger needs to be away from the castle and unable to return in a short time.
After the battle outside the Forbidden Forest, although he was not exposed on the surface, Barty the Younger must be extremely vigilant against Andy.
Whenever Andy appears, he will not leave his office easily.
So Andy needs to appear in front of the stage all the time to attract Barty the Younger's attention.
As long as he appears normally at the competition site, he can play the role of restraining Barty the Younger.
At this time, Sirius broke in from the outside and would definitely catch Barty the Younger off guard.
Barty the Younger will definitely set up strict defenses for his office, and he will be alerted if anyone breaks into his office.
But now that we have reached the last step, there is no need to worry about confidentiality.
Sirius's presence was a mystery to Barty. Barty knew that Sirius had escaped from Azkaban, but he didn't know that he had teamed up with Andy.
Andy was not sure what Sirius could find, but as long as he arrived on time, he would definitely get something.
But Sirius and Cedric didn't expect to meet each other here.
After two or three fights, Cedric immediately fell into a disadvantage. Sirius raised his wand and shouted:"Thunder Explosion!"
Cedric was shocked, do you still have any spirit of fighting in secret?! He quickly used the Armor Charm to defend.
No, one layer of the Armor Charm couldn't stop it, so he quickly added another layer.
No, Cedric was completely confused. The Explosion Charm would blow up the entire office. No spell could stop this noise, so it was better to run away quickly.
As a result, the explosion he was waiting for did not appear.
Sirius made a feint, waved his wand, and cast a silent spell, using the Softening Charm to instantly soften the floor under Cedric's feet.
Cedric took a step back and stepped into the air. His ankle twisted, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The armor spell on his body was immediately broken, revealing the angle of his defense.
"Expelliarmus!"
A red ray of light hit Cedric and knocked the wand out of his hand.
Sirius chuckled, Andy's move was really useful.
"It's over, kid."
Sirius's wand was aimed at Cedric who fell to the ground, preparing to give him the final blow.
The expression on Cedric's face was extremely distorted, and he lay stiffly twisting on the spot without making any defensive posture.
Huh?
Sirius For a moment, the curse that was ready to go was cancelled. Cedric was in this state...
The Soul-Impering Curse?
Suddenly, Cedric, who was lying on the ground, roared, his eyes became clear again, and he was freed from the Soul-Imperminating Curse. Restraint.
He was breathing heavily, sweating, and with a painful expression on his face,
Cedric said in confusion:"Why am I here?"
……
Cedric regained consciousness and felt his head turned into a mess.
He didn't know what happened, nor where he was going.
He tried to recall, but felt a splitting headache.
The next moment, he looked up and saw Sirius.
"Who are you……"
Cedric was surprised and struggled to sit up.
He had a splitting headache when he was irritated by Sirius's face, but the memory just now unexpectedly reappeared in his mind.
He had read the Daily Prophet and knew what everyone knew now.
Since Peter was the real Death Eater, Sirius was naturally innocent.
At Andy's suggestion, Rita Skeeter published an article to speak up for Sirius every once in a while, and this fact had been publicized to everyone.
It's just that the Ministry of Magic is still pretending to be dead for the time being and has not responded at all.
But the calls from the public have been getting louder and louder.
Cedric froze in place, trying to recall the whole thing.
He only remembered that when the last event started, he quietly left the stands and returned to the castle.
His goal was clear from the beginning, that was Moody's office.
As for why he came here...
Looking at Cedric standing there in a daze, Sirius had a strange expression on his face and was still pointing his wand at him
"What's wrong with you?"
Cedric didn't care about that, he shouted hurriedly:"Moody! There's something wrong with Professor Moody! He used the Imperius Curse on me!"
Hearing Moody's name, Sirius's face was serious:"What's going on, tell me slowly, who are you?"
Cedric:"Cedric Diggory, from Hufflepuff House."
Sirius suddenly realized that it was you.
He had heard this name from Harry.
Cedric slowed down:"I... my memory is very confused, I only remember that I have been trying to help Harry win the Triwizard Tournament.……"
"Professor Moody somehow found out about this, and then he found me……"
"All I remember is that a light hit me and then I lost consciousness……"
""You have a strong will. Most people don't even realize they are under the Imperius Curse."
"And the fact that you can still retain these memories proves that he doesn't care whether you remember or not.
Cedric's tone became more and more horrifying, and he said while recalling:"There is something wrong with Professor Moody!" He asked me to destroy all the 'evidence' and kill the man inside the box.……"
Sirius:"What suitcase?"
Cedric pointed to a suitcase lying flat on the ground in the corner of the office. It looked ordinary.
Sirius walked over and carefully used a detection spell to make sure there was no other dark magic protection on the box.
Fake Moody is confident in his office's defenses.
He determined that the office would not be easily invaded.
If he is invaded, he can come back in a short time.
Therefore, items in the office will not be too tightly protected.
Generally speaking, there will be no surprises with this arrangement.
Unless the person who invaded his office was a very capable wizard, and he couldn't get back in time. like now
""Alaho!"
Sirius pointed his wand at the lock of the box and opened it. What came into view was a seemingly bottomless narrow space that could accommodate several people standing side by side.
The box was cast with a space expansion spell, and the space inside was several times larger than it looked from the outside.
At the bottom of the box, a person was lying quietly. At this time, he heard a noise from above, looked up, and met Sirius's eyes.
"Fluorescence flashes."
Sirius put his wand deep into the hole and illuminated the bottom of the box.
That was the real Moody, but he looked extremely miserable.
His face was old, his hair was much less, and there was an empty eye socket on his face..
Apart from that, half of his trousers were still empty, lying helplessly on the ground.
"Alastor! Sirius grinned, laughed, and waved to him,"What Andy said is true, you are really here.""
Hearing this, Cedric rushed directly to the box, also holding the box and looking down.
When he saw the person inside the box clearly, Cedric looked shocked.
Are there two Professor Moody?
If Moody here It's true, then who is that outside?
Moody looked up and saw Sirius' face. Instead of greeting him as Sirius imagined, his expression changed and he cursed with all his strength:"You This filthy beast! The hybrid born between a poison horned beast and a goblin! The pigs of Azkaban! Why do you still have the face to appear in front of me?……" boom!
Sirius' face darkened, and he struggled to close the box again.
This is indeed the real Moody, who doesn't know yet about Peter's death.
Cedric:"What the hell is going on?"
Sirius:"It's a long story, what else did that fake Moody ask you to do?"
"He also gave me something."
Cedric touched the pocket of his robe, but found nothing.
His eyes suddenly became horrified:"No...no, Harry is in danger! I've already given that to Harry!"
"In addition, Moody seems to be controlling another person!"
Sirius' eyes widened, and for the first time he felt that tonight's situation was out of control.
