Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

v1 Chapter 293: Crouch's follow-up observations

"The Crouch family is a pure-blood family with a very long history. Although they are thin in Barty's generation, they still have a wide network of connections in the magic world!"

Moody's voice was serious.

"Unlike other pure-blood families, when Barty Crouch was in power, he did not join the strength of the Mystery Man, and clearly expressed his rejection of the Death Eaters. This gave him a high reputation in the wizarding world, Even after a scandal like his son's broke out, the Crouch family's reputation will still be made up for by his righteous actions behind him."

"In the Ministry of Magic, he is now being suppressed by Fudge. On the surface, he was transferred from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, but in fact, the functions and supervisory powers of these two departments are much worse. But it's also just Fudge's suppression, and he still has a very high reputation within the department."

"This point, since Amelia Burns took over his position, it can be seen that he has not been able to substantially control the executive department in his own hands. Scrimgeour's people still only believe his words. ."

Moody's persuasion did not make Sherlock stick to his ideas.

What he said was indeed correct. Crouch's own strength was actually not that strong.

After all, not all wizards get better with age. They have been worrying about government affairs for many years, so that senior officials of the Ministry of Magic like Crouch are not even as good as a professor who was picked up by Hogwarts.

But the strength is not strong, and the Crouch family and his personal connections should not be underestimated. Sherlock can't guarantee whether he will leave any hidden dangers after pressing the old man for a while.

If it turns out that there is nothing wrong with Crouch, and what he did is publicized, then Sherlock is most likely to become a street mouse in the wizarding world, and even Dumbledore may not be able to keep him. reputation.

Moody's remarks were entirely for his consideration.

Sherlock sighed and said helplessly.

"Then we clearly know that he is suspected, so let him be released from Hogwarts like this."

After all, Moody is still experienced. He just thought about it a little and came up with a solution.

"We can't keep an eye on him 24 hours a day, and even if he's at Hogwarts all the time, we can't do that. But he's alone, and he'll be at the Ministry most of the day, during which time we can Let Kingsley and Tonks help him watch him, they have not been heavy on their recent tasks and have a lot of free time."

This is already the best way. Kingsley is experienced and Tonks is a disguised magus. The two of them work together much better than Moody watching Crouch alone in the castle.

After discussing about Crouch, Moody left, and he had to go to the Ministry of Magic to contact Kingsley and Tonks.

On the other hand, after Harry returned to the Gryffindor lounge, he naturally received the warmest welcome from all the Gryffindor students.

George and Fred went to the kitchen to get a bunch of food and held a small banquet in the common room.

This banquet was much more comfortable for Harry than the night when he was elected as a Hogwarts warrior.

They wanted Harry to open the golden egg in public, and everyone in Gryffindor would help him solve the second project puzzle.

But after the golden egg was opened, there was only a horrible scream. George and the others made a bunch of unreliable guesses, which obviously couldn't provide any help to Harry.

While Harry and the others were arguing, Hermione was more interested in the food the Weasley twins got from the kitchen. She asked George where the kitchen was.

"Conveniently, right down the hallway at the entrance to the Hufflepuff lounge, there's a picture of a fruit on the wall, and you just scratch the pear and a doorknob appears to let you in. …”

Speaking of this, George suddenly became alert, and he looked up and down Hermione.

"Why are you asking this? Hermione, do you want to lead the house-elves to strike again? Are you going to give up those flyers and other things and mobilize them to rebel?"

There was a burst of laughter from around.

Hermione said calmly.

"I'm not so naive now, I just read a lot of theories in the book, and I want to actually understand their lives and thoughts. Don't worry, even if I want to let the house-elves go on strike, they will definitely be the first person they want to knock down. it's me."

Fred, who heard her say this, looked satisfied.

"You're much more mature than before, Hermione."

Hermione didn't care about his compliment, she stepped aside after learning about the entrance to the kitchen, and didn't say anything more.

During the banquet, the two Georges also showed everyone their new prank props. Poor Neville was used as an experiment and accidentally ate a cookie and was turned into a canary.

After all, the celebration was only short-lived. The next day, they went back to their class routine~lightnovelpub.net~ Hagrid was still teaching them how to nurture those fried tail snails that looked disgusting.

While Trelawney still predicted Harry's misfortune and death all day long, Silk taught Hermione and the others poker fortune-telling in the arithmetic and fortune-telling class.

The defense class in the fourth grade was not easy, because in the fifth grade next year, they were going to take the wizard rank exam. Sherlock gave them a much heavier study task than the third grade.

But Hermione still took some time out to find Sherlock.

Hot black tea and a plate full of cookies are the standard for Sherlock to receive students.

"I've read a lot of books during this time, Professor." Hermione said with a bewildered face, "A lot of it is about the social structure, then the relationship between people, about class, how to study the social relationship, and then it will be true. Achieving equality for all. There are all kinds of isms, anarchic, social, etc., but the more I look at it, the more I feel like I don't understand anything."

"Is there real equality in this world? If so, why do some books say that wherever there are people, there will be classes, and the existence of classes is unequal?"

"If even people themselves can't be truly equal, let alone other species? So the ultimate goal of pursuing equality is to eliminate class? How to eliminate class in wizards? How to eliminate contradictions in the magic world face?"

Hermione's series of questions made Sherlock look at her a lot weirder.

Compared to a normal fifteen-year-old girl, Hermione's thoughts were far ahead of her peers.
