279 Charlie, secret, gift
In the rising wind and snow, Moody did not explain what the Unforgivable Curse was, but turned to look at Karan again, pointing a finger at the side of his face.
After Kallan stared at the scar on his face for a while, he realized that Moody was pointing at his temple.
"I rely on being smarter than those damn guys, and most importantly - always being vigilant!"
He looked at Karan and said: "Believe me, little guy, just the news about the basement is enough to prove that you have a brain, and you can learn the rest of your vigilance slowly."
"You have talent, I can feel it."
Karan's eyes widened and he shook his head faster.
"I don't want to be an Auror." He refused again: "And - sir, with all due respect - as I said, I am only a second-year student, and I am still early to graduate. "
"Perhaps time is not as short as you think." Moody said meaningfully: "And it seems that I should remind you of something in advance, so as not to put you in danger again just to get those additional reminders."
"Remember, kid."
Moody seemed to be trying to soften his tone, but what he said was only more shocking words, which did not provide any comfort.
"It is estimated that the war will start soon. I have already foreseen those terrible situations. This will be an extremely difficult war and may even last for many years."
"We must unite all available forces, no matter how small it may be...even if it involves just a second-year student."
"Do you understand me, child?"
The biting cold wind mixed with falling snow danced between the two of them, and their eyes met through the white mist-like things.
The brave warrior awaits the child's decision.
Karan swept away the white snow accumulated on his hair.
He shook his head.
"I don't understand, sir."
Moody stared at Karan with his terrifying eyes, not caring whether it would give him nightmares at night.
Karan lowered his head silently and did not look at him.
He had never thought that things would develop in such a direction, but if Moody's guess was true, it did turn him into a young wizard who wanted to become an Auror.
Unfortunately, Moody was wrong from the beginning.
And he had never wanted to be an Auror.
"It's such a pity."
Finally, Moody shook his head and said.
"Tell me when you change your mind. The requirements for becoming an Auror are very strict. There is no harm in making more preparations in advance."
Karan did not answer this sentence. He still lowered his head slightly and wiped off the snow on it again.
Moody ignored Karan's attitude and continued: "Before you change your mind, you can also tell me those so-called [reminders]."
"Like I said, there's no need for you to risk yourselves for this."
Before Karan could make any response, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, just send it here."
"I can just let others take me the rest of the way."
"Hey! Prewett!"
He suddenly shouted, and Karan looked in the direction where he was looking, and saw a figure faintly through the thick wind and snow.
After the figure got closer, the other person's red hair was particularly obvious at first.
The visitors were surprised to see Moody at Hogwarts.
"Alastor? How could you...?"
He suddenly saw Karan beside him, so he stopped asking any more questions.
Karan inadvertently glanced at his wrist, where he was wearing a gold watch.
This is Fabian, the younger brother of the Prewett brothers, and the one who is often impersonated by Gideon, but Callan has long noticed that he has never impersonated Gideon.
"Let's talk on the road."
Moody said simply, he waved to Fabian, and then they walked towards the castle together.
Karan watched their backs silently.
In the bad weather just now, it is not that simple to accurately identify a person from a distance, not to mention that Moody is not wearing the magic eye yet.
He seemed to have stopped Fabian on purpose.
It's like calling yourself out on purpose as well.
Karan didn't think Moody knew where the principal's office was.
===
On a slowly moving upward spiral staircase, Moody and Fabian stood side by side.
"I heard Molly had another baby?" Moody asked.
"That's right." Fabian smiled happily: "He was born on December 12th, just a few days ago. It's a boy named Charlie, Charlie Weasley."
"Weasley?" Moody said, "I remember he also works in the Ministry of Magic, but I rarely meet him."
"It's best like this." Fabian said exaggeratedly: "I don't want to see this brother-in-law fighting with the dark wizard one day. Gideon and I are enough."
"But he's still busy."
Fabian smacked his mouth twice, shook his head and said: "Molly occasionally complains about this matter, and Gideon and I plan to go there early before the Christmas holiday to see if we can do anything to help her. "
"After all, she just gave birth to a baby not long ago. It's not easy to take care of two babies. I hope there won't be more."
Moody seemed to be thinking about something, then he nodded.
"I will help you persuade Dumbledore," he said: "Anyway, I will most likely stay at Hogwarts for a long time. If you don't have classes, just go back early."
"Really?" Fabian said in surprise: "Thank you so much!"
While the two were chatting, the spiral staircase led them to a shiny oak door with a brass door knocker in the shape of a griffon.
"Why did you come to Dumbledore?" At this time, Fabian asked curiously: "Is there a new arrangement in the Order of the Phoenix? Or is it that traces of Dorcas have been discovered?"
"neither."
Moody said, knocking on the door. He looked at Fabian and said, "It's just work."
"Jobs related to the Ministry of Magic."
The gate opens, then closes.
Moody went in and Fabian was left outside.
In the principal's office, Dumbledore was standing at the window looking out.
"Are you looking at the little guy named Sangster just now?" Moody asked familiarly.
"The view here is very broad and allows me to see the entire campus clearly. Perhaps it was designed this way from the beginning."
Dumbledore didn't answer Moody's question. He then asked: "Are you interested in him?"
"It's just a feeling." Moody said: "He gave me a feeling similar to that when facing Dorcas - not exactly the same, but he is deliberately hiding his little secrets."
"I bet you know what these secrets are, don't you, Albus?"
There was a brief silence.
"Everyone has a secret," Dumbledore said calmly.
Moody snorted disapprovingly.
"Tell me, why did you come to me this time?"
Moody sat down on the chair and asked: "You are not really asking me to spy on Hagrid, are you? We all know that there can be no problems with him. Rather than letting me waste my time on such things, why not?" Why not wander around the castle a few times, and maybe one day find the murderer who opened the secret room? This is what I am really good at."
"None of them." Dumbledore sat opposite Moody. He crossed the fingers of his hands and his light blue eyes penetrated through the half-moon lenses.
"It's just time for us to prepare one more Christmas present."
