The focus of Harry's attention now, of course, is not whether Gryffindor has been awarded points for himself, but Sherlock's attitude towards Snape at this time.

"What about Snape, Professor, what should he do with it?"

Sherlock didn't say anything to Harry, he just waved his hand.

"You don't need to worry about Snape so much. I didn't take what you told me on a deaf ear, and I'll handle it properly."

With such a promise to come, Harry left the office with a little peace of mind.

At least from past experience, Sherlock has always been reliable in dealing with these things.

After Harry left, Sherlock shook his head with a sigh.

Sure enough, Harry is the real protagonist of this world, and he can encounter anything.

The communication between Snape and Karkaroff was approved by Dumbledore, and what he said was also to make his position appear to be more on Voldemort's side.

To prevent that if Karkaroff really returned to the Death Eater camp, the spy status planned by Snape in the future would not be maintained because of this.

Fortunately, Harry is not as brainless as he was in the original book. After all, he knows that his mother's soul is also on him, and he can survive only by relying on him. If he dies, it is not just a matter of his own safety. .

This is a real good thing, otherwise who knows what Harry will secretly follow Snape to do later.

After Harry told Sherlock everything he knew, he didn't think more about whether Snape would betray Dumbledore.

The time of the second competition is getting closer and closer. Although he already knows the content of the second competition, he still has not found a way to move freely underwater for a long time.

Even the day before the game officially started, he stayed in the library all day, trying to find a spell that would help him, and didn't even realize that Ron and Hermione were called away by Professor McGonagall that day. Things that haven't come back for a day.

On the morning of the game, he was still in the library.

It was also in the early morning when Sherlock looked at the good weather today and was going to call Shilk to go to the auditorium for breakfast, when an old female voice sounded beside him.

"Professor Forrest, Dumbledore has something to call you to his office. The password for the office is 'lemonade'."

The portrait responsible for the message is Dai Lis, the former headmaster of Hogwarts. Generally, if these portraits are dispatched, it is basically an emergency.

Sherlock frowned, the original plan Dang An could no longer go, he nodded and agreed.

"I'm going over here."

After he finished speaking, he went straight to Dumbledore's office. There was no one else here, only Dumbledore himself was sitting at the desk with a serious expression, his deep blue eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing Sherlock coming in, he said directly.

"Someone found Barty near the town of Dartmouth in Devon. The Ministry of Magic has not received any news for the time being. I want you to visit first to see the situation."

Sherlock did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked.

"Is the man who found Crouch reliable?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"An old member of the Order of the Phoenix, he has been in the business of herb farming in Devon since the dissolution, so he told me about it as soon as he discovered the problem, instead of notifying the Ministry of Magic."

Sherlock made no other objection to this, just looked at Dumbledore.

"So what result do you want, even if Crouch appears, we can't be sure if this is a trap."

Dumbledore's thumbs rubbed against each other, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke softly.

"You must first ensure your own safety on this trip. After all, you are also their target. Then, bring Barty back as safely as possible. I will let Fox follow you. If you encounter any danger, or Once you've identified Barty, let Fox immediately Apparate."

As Dumbledore spoke, the phoenix Fox, who had been combing his feathers on the golden branch, also fluttered his fiery wings and landed on Sherlock's shoulders.

"Fox's Apparition magic is very special. With it, you can ignore basically all anti-Apparition taboos, and let it keep you safe when you encounter dangers that you think you can't handle."

"Originally, I wanted Moody to take this trip, but the second project started today, and he needs to keep an eye on Karkaroff, so this matter can only be left to you."

With Dumbledore giving him adequate safeguards, Sherlock had nothing to fear.

"I'll pay more attention, Professor Dumbledore."

Fox flashed a golden-red light with Sherlock before disappearing into the principal's room.

At the same time, Sherlock and Fox reappeared in a hidden corner of the riverside town of Dartmouth in Devon.

This Muggle town on the Dart River is a well-known tourist destination in Europe. It has a small permanent population but a lot of floating population.

After coming here, Sherlock had to make contact first, and of course it was the member of the Order of the Phoenix who got in touch with Dumbledore and said that he had found the trace of Crouch.

The residence of the wizard, especially a wizard who is engaged in the cultivation of herbal medicine, will definitely not choose a place with many people.

After walking out of the town for about two or three kilometers to the northeast, I came to a remote field where Edgar Taylor, the member of the Order of the Phoenix mentioned by Dumbledore, lived here.

There are a lot of greenhouses around the house that is made of wood like Hagrid~lightnovelpub.net~.

These greenhouses are basically similar to the herbal classrooms at Hogwarts, and they are all used to cultivate magical herbs.

The wizard named Taylor was a tall and burly wizard who looked quite old, and he invited Sherlock into his house.

"I told the muggles that I was growing and researching out-of-season vegetables as a way to deal with curious people, but most people in town thought my business wasn't doing well because they had never seen Any big company buys vegetables from me and sells them."

"It's a very clever excuse, but it will definitely attract the attention of people who care about it for a long time."

"You're right, so I'm currently planning to apply to the Ministry of Magic to place a Muggle Repelling Charm around my own home."

They simply exchanged a few words and quickly got to the point.
