Chapter 858 Blake’s Worries
Dumbledore stared at the Dark Mark reflected in the pensieve and began to wander around the principal's office. He always felt that something had been overlooked by him.
At this time, the portrait on the wall of the principal's office suddenly spoke: "Dumbledore, Sirius hopes to come and visit you tonight. It seems that he has something to discuss with you about Harry."
“I know, when will Sirius come over.” Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
“Now, if you have time,” the portrait said without hesitation.
“Then now.”
Shortly after the portrait left, a green flame suddenly burst out from the fireplace in the Headmaster's office, and Sirius Black walked in from the fireplace.
"Good evening, Dumbledore, I'm sorry to bother you suddenly." Black, who was wearing a formal suit, said straight to the point, "But for Harry's safety, I have to come."
“Sit down, would you like a drink?”
"Black tea." Sirius sat down and organized his words, "Peter did not die in Azkaban Prison. Although I don't know how he did it, he is indeed alive and escaped. Ha. Leigh had a nightmare some time ago, dreaming about Peter and Voldemort, and they seemed to be formulating an evil conspiracy. I remember I wrote to you about it."
"Dream?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered that he had indeed received a letter from Sirius, and he did mention this matter in the letter.
"A while ago, we saw reports that Peter died in Azkaban Prison, and we suspected that he faked his death and escaped. Later, Harry dreamed of Peter again during the World Cup. We suspected that it was a precognitive dream, so we found someone who also went to the World Cup. Mr. Anderson, you know, Mr. Anderson is an expert in the field of prophecy.”
“What did he say?” Dumbledore suddenly became very interested in this matter.
"He said it wasn't a precognitive dream, but some hidden dangers left behind when Voldemort didn't kill Harry. He thought there might be some connection between Harry and Voldemort, but he didn't elaborate. Let's ask. You." Sirius held the cup of black tea in his hand, took a sip, and asked with drooping eyes, "Is that really like that? Is there really some connection between Harry and Voldemort?"
"Yes, that failed spell may have connected Harry to him," Dumbledore sighed, "That's not an ordinary scar."
"So, what Harry saw was real?" Sirius couldn't help but take a breath, even though he had been prepared for it.
“I think so.” Dumbledore nodded.
“I think Harry might be in trouble.” Sirius murmured,
"trouble?"
"That's it." Sirius began to talk about his recent summary, and also told Dumbledore about asking Albert to predict Peter's position.
“So, the outcome of the prophecy is that Peter is in the Albanian forest?”
“Yes, he did say that. Later, Albert divined again, and what appeared that time was a large desolate house, a person who was somewhat familiar to me, and a cemetery.”
"Of course... no problem." Sirius put the wand on his head, pulled out the memory at that time, and put it into the meditation disk that Dumbledore moved in front of them.
After the two entered that memory, they saw Harry waking up from the nightmare and the conversation he had with them at that time. Soon the surrounding scene changed again. This time it was the scene of them going to Albert for divination. When the man in the crystal ball appeared in front of Dumbledore, the old principal immediately recognized who this man was. .
“Barty Crouch Jr.”
"Barty Crouch Jr.?" Sirius recalled who this person was, "I remember he seemed to be dead?"
"Yes, he died a long time ago," said Dumbledore.
After Albert handed some Felixir to Sirius, the scene ended abruptly, and the two returned to the principal's office.
"What else did Anderson say?" Dumbledore continued to ask. He felt that Sirius must have other reasons for coming to him in such a hurry.
"Yes, I just received the letter from Harry. That's why I'm looking for you in a hurry." Sirius took out the letter Harry had just sent him from his robe pocket, which mentioned that Harry was on the train. The above conversation with Albert, as well as the two short summaries mentioned by Albert.
"Do you believe what he said?" Dumbledore asked after quickly reading the letter.
"Although it seems ridiculous, I have to admit that what Albert said makes sense." Sirius had seen Albert's power, and the other party obviously would not say these words for no reason to scare Harry.
"If Harry is really involved in the Triwizard Cup, does that mean that this is probably Voldemort's conspiracy?"
"Do you think Voldemort's minions have infiltrated Hogwarts?" Dumbledore realized something, "And this person is probably Moody."
"Yes, I know this is unlikely, but we can't deny that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts does often have problems, right? Especially after Harry entered the school, the first-year Quirrell was Voldemort is possessed, Lockhart in the second year is a complete liar, Lupine in the third year is a werewolf, and he is still a good friend with me, a fugitive, so is it possible that Moody in the fourth year is an undercover agent?" Sirius asked. He made his bold guess, which was one of the reasons why he was so anxious to come to Dumbledore. He lowered his voice and said, "Moody encountered trouble on the day he came to Hogwarts. He claimed that he had been attacked. This incident It was even published in the Daily Prophet."
Dumbledore was silent, seeming to think about this possibility.
"I have known Alastor for more than half a century. I know him well enough, but I have not found anything suspicious about Alastor so far," Dumbledore said softly. "At least, it doesn't look like he's been hit by the Imperius Curse. With Alastor's ability to resist the Imperius Curse, I can definitely see some flaws. And it would be great if they were really that stupid."
Although Dumbledore was very interested in Albert's words, he believed in his own judgment more.
"Where's the compound potion?" Sirius asked tentatively, feeling that he had to make Dumbledore more vigilant, especially regarding Moody.
Dumbledore fell into a brief silence because he remembered that at the opening dinner, Alastor seemed to be holding a curved wine bottle and drank only once.
That night he ate something, but did not touch the drink in the glass. He only took a sip of the wine from the curved bottle. At that time, he just thought that Alastor's nerves were more sensitive...at least, he couldn't remember whether there was a compound potion in Alastor's curved wine bottle.
"I will pay attention to him. If Alastor is really someone else, he will definitely have flaws. No one can perfectly disguise himself as someone else." Dumbledore said calmly.
"Harry, I'm begging you, and I suggest you keep an eye on the Triwizard Cup. If Harry really becomes that **** warrior, I think you should consider what Albert said." Sirius stood up and was about to leave. Before that, he added: "I suggest you talk to Anderson. He is really an incredible guy. He is very smart and perceptive. He seems to know everything. Although he is indeed a bit of a wizard."
