On this day, Ke Wen received a letter from Dumbledore's "Patron Saint", and the note sent had the password for this week - dragon.
Ke Wen froze for a moment, then apologized to the admirers who were sticking around him, and went to the principal's office.
Pass the password stairs and knock on the office door.
After being greeted by Dumbledore into the office, Cowen found that Sirius Black was also there.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Headmaster, good afternoon, Mr. Bligh, Mr. Sirius."
Hearing the way Ke Wen addressed him, Sirius couldn't help showing a happy smile, walked forward a few steps, and hugged Ke Wen intimately with open arms.
"Good afternoon, Cowen."
After Sirius withdrew, he looked at Ke Wen with admiration and said, "I haven't congratulated you on becoming a warrior representing Hogwarts."
"Thank you." Ke Wen thanked politely.
After finishing speaking, Kewen looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Mr. Principal, what is the purpose of calling me here?"
"Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison!"
Dumbledore was very straightforward: "During the holidays, the Death Eaters made a big noise on the Quidditch field, so children, we really need your smart brain and your views on these things!"
"This..." Ke Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then he said with some embarrassment: "Sorry sir, I don't have much information, so..."
Seeing Kewen's embarrassment, Dumbledore waved his hand indifferently, and encouraged: "It's okay, child, we also have no clue now, so we need to use your aura to break the situation."
"Okay." Ke Wen nodded, and then looked at Sirius: "Since you have come to the academy, you must have brought news other than prison break and Death Eaters?"
"Merlin's wisdom!"
Sirius sighed as if he was taking a breath, and then looked at Dumbledore with a smile in his eyes.
Turning his head to look at Kewen again, Sirius nodded and said: "Yes, I also brought some things about Harry."
"Can you tell me?" Ke Wen said, "The more information there is, the better it is for my conclusion."
"Of course!" Sirius had completely admired Cowen's performance, so he said immediately: "It's about a nightmare about Harry. He dreamed about Voldemort and that mouse Peter during the holidays, and there was another person and a giant mouse. Python, but Harry doesn't know the third one."
After taking a breath, Sirius continued: "In the dream, Voldemort killed an elderly Muggle with a death curse, and then ordered a third person to capture Harry."
In order to show that this information is not an ordinary nightmare, Sirius went on to explain: "Harry has also dreamed about Voldemort before, but it was just an ordinary nightmare, but this time it is different. Harry's scar is after the nightmare. There was severe pain!"
"The child has never talked about this matter with anyone, until recently he mentioned it in a letter to me."
Sirius sighed worriedly on behalf of Harry, and then said: "That's why I rushed to the academy to inform Mr. Principal of the situation."
"A prophecy dream?"
Ke Wen had already guessed the details based on the information, but he deliberately said an introductory sentence.
"No, that's not a prophecy."
Sure enough, Dumbledore was induced to speak, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "Harry's situation is very special, so it's okay, I should tell you about it."
Next, Dumbledore explained in detail how Harry was protected by his mother's spell, and how he relied on that loving spell to counter Voldemort's death curse.
Finally, Dumbledore explained to Cowen that he was sure that a small fragment of Voldemort's soul was now hidden in Harry's body due to the backlash of the death curse.
In other words, Harry is actually a Horcrux of Voldemort.
After all, Cowen helped too much, so Dumbledore told Voldemort's Horcrux in detail this time without any concealment.
After listening, Ke Wen began to think in silence.
Combining all the information, he guessed that Voldemort's current resurrection must have consumed a Horcrux.
Of course, the so-called resurrection may still be in the state of a remnant soul like Professor Rocky did back then.
That makes sense.
No wonder those Death Eaters dared to show up to make a big fuss in the Quidditch field during the holidays. No wonder this year Harry was chosen as a warrior by the Goblet of Fire just like in the original plot.
It was all because of Voldemort's return that the Death Eaters had a backbone and the original plot remained unchanged.
And Principal Karkaroff of the "Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic", also used the confusion spell on the "Goblet of Fire" as in the original plot, and successfully made Harry selected as the fourth warrior.
While Ke Wen was thinking, Dumbledore and Sirius kept quiet, for fear of making a little noise and disturbing Ke Wen's thinking.
Looking at the sometimes puzzled and sometimes dazed expressions on Ke Wen's face, the moods of Dumbledore and Sirius also went up and down.
Every time they saw Ke Wen's stunned look, they couldn't help showing surprise and anticipation at the same time.
After a while, Kewen finished summarizing the information, raised his head, and met Dumbledore's expectant eyes.
"We come message by message." Cowen was about to express his opinion.
"Of course!" Dumbledore quickly waved his hand and brought a chair for Cowen: "Sit down quickly, we have plenty of time."
Ke Wen nodded, stepped forward and sat down, and then said: "There are three speculations about Peter Pettigrew's escape from prison."
Dumbledore's expression became solemn, and he subconsciously straightened his waist: "Please speak!"
"The first guess." Cowen said: "He may have escaped from prison by relying on the 'animal transformation technique' just like Sirius."
Dumbledore nodded: "We also have this guess."
"The second guess." Cowen continued: "There are Death Eaters working from the outside, or cooperating from the inside, and released Peter Pettigrew."
Dumbledore nodded slowly in thought, keeping the guess in mind.
"The last guess is somewhat unfavorable." Ke Wen sighed and said, "Although it is a bit bizarre, I guess, is it possible that the dementors of 'Azkaban' have already stood on Voldemort's side? ?”
"This..." Dumbledore's eyes widened in surprise.
"How is this possible!?" Sirius exclaimed, "How could a dementor..."
"Don't think they have any bottom line." Ke Wen shook his head and said in a low tone: "Imagine if you were a dementor, if someone told you that you could eat without restriction..."
After fantasizing about the hypothesis put forward by Cowen, Sirius suddenly became dumbfounded, and even Dumbledore couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists suddenly.
"Let's move on to other information."
Ke Wen didn't leave much time for the two of them to think, and continued: "Whether it's Harry's nightmare, Peter Pettigrew's escape from prison, or even the appearance of those Death Eaters, there can only be one reason in the end. "
After a pause, Cowen confirmed Dumbledore's concerns: "Voldemort must have returned with the help of other Horcruxes!"
Cowen finally concluded: "Only in this way, those Death Eaters have the courage to make trouble."
The office suddenly became silent.
After a while, Dumbledore sighed, and then said: "Although I had expected it, I never imagined that Voldemort's return would be so early."
"Harry is dangerous."
Ke Wen suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately attracted the attention of Dumbledore and Sirius.
"We also guessed so." Dumbledore said expectantly: "But I don't have any clue about how the crisis will come, child, have you thought of anything?"
"Principal Karkaroff, Professor Moody!" Cowen said two names.
Dumbledore was a little stunned, and subconsciously said: "Alastor is our loyal partner. Although Karkaroff was a Death Eater a long time ago, but..."
Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Cowen shook his head and said, "This year, there are only two principals and one Professor Moody who came to the academy. If anyone wants to harm Harry, it will naturally come from the three of them." Among them."
Ke Wen didn't give Dumbledore time to think, and continued: "The characteristics of Principal Maxim and Principal Karkaroff are too obvious, and they obviously don't match the third person in Harry's nightmare, otherwise Harry would not recognize not come out."
"So, the person who made Harry selected by the 'Goblet of Fire' was either Headmaster Karkaroff or Professor Moody."
"And I suspect that the person who will eventually capture Harry and sacrifice him to Voldemort will not be Principal Karkaroff."
The hint was already obvious, but this result was very difficult for Dumbledore to accept.
For a long time, Mad-Eye Moody has been fighting the Death Eaters on the front line. After participating in various struggles, Mad-Eye Moody's body is covered with scars.
A large piece of the nose was missing, a leg was missing, an eyeball was replaced, and there were various ugly scars on the skin.
And most importantly, Mad-Eye Moody has always stood firmly on Dumbledore's side and is the backbone of Dumbledore's camp.
Therefore, Dumbledore also returned the other party's complete trust.
Hearing Cowen's suspicion now made it difficult for Dumbledore to accept this result.
Seeing Dumbledore's entanglement, Ke Wen reminded again: "I found that Professor Moody has a metal flagon that never leaves his body."
With that said, Kewen turned his head to look at Sirius who had been acting like a fool listener, and continued, "It would be great if there was such a jug last year, at least I can help you make those 'polyjuice potions' to save money." Down a lot of crystal bottles."
As soon as the voice fell, Dumbledore suddenly raised his eyes, his face was shocked.
Sirius also recalled it, and said in disbelief: "You mean... Mad-Eye was disguised by someone else using 'polyjuice potion'?"
"I think there's a high chance of this." Cowen admitted, and then suggested to Dumbledore: "Sir, just to be on the safe side, you might be able to use 'Ingest Divine Sense' to observe."
"No." Dumbledore sighed, took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and then said, "I've read Harry's thoughts, and they were there at the time, but I didn't hear their voices."
Obviously, both Principal Karkaroff and Professor Moody maintain Occlumency at all times.
The office became silent again, Dumbledore was concentrating on thinking about things, and Sirius was a reckless character, it was difficult for him to think about those twists and turns, so he obediently chose to be an audience.
Cowen was also thinking.
But he was thinking of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Voldemort and snakes appeared in Harry Potter's dream, which represented the appearance of two Horcruxes of Voldemort.
Counting Harry, plus the remnant soul that was wiped out by Dumbledore at the beginning, and the notebook, there are already five Horcruxes that have appeared.
For the remaining two, as far as Cowen knows, the Horcrux in the 'House of Requirement' is safe for the time being.
During the vacation, the reason why he accepted Sirius' invitation was to confirm whether the Horcrux left at Sirius' house was still there.
At that time, he used the 'Intake of Divine Sense' in an unknown way, and read the result from the mind of that little elf named Kreacher.
The 'Slytherin Pendant Box' made into a Horcrux by Voldemort is indeed still in that house.
Combining all the information and comparing the memory data, Ke Wen finally determined that Voldemort's return this time must have borrowed the Horcrux of the 'Hufflepuff Gold Cup'.
The whole thread became clear.
As a Death Eater loyal to Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr. was dropped out of the 'Azkaban' prison by his doting mother. When he escaped from the prison, he rescued Peter Pettigrew, who could turn into a mouse.
Subsequently, through information obtained from other Death Eater inmates, Barty Crouch Jr. successfully obtained the 'Hufflepuff Gold Cup'.
In the end, Voldemort's remnant soul returned from the 'Golden Cup Horcrux' again.
Next, Barty Crouch Jr. accepted Voldemort's orders and attacked the real Mad-Eye Moody.
He also used the 'Compound Potion' to transform into the other party's appearance, sneaked into Hogwarts, and prepared to take the opportunity to capture Harry and sacrifice it to Voldemort.
After straightening everything out, Ke Wen continued to meditate, and plans emerged in his mind...
I don't know how long it took, Dumbledore came back to his senses first, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you child, you never let people down, and you gave us such amazing and great help again."
Interrupted by the voice, Ke Wen shook his head with a smile: "This is what I should do. The academy has cultivated my abilities, so naturally I should give the academy as much as possible in return."
"Amazing!" Sirius interjected, and said with admiration: "Kevin, you are an amazing wizard!"
"Thank you for your evaluation." Ke Wen was taken aback by Sirius' sudden interruption, and then thanked him reservedly.
"The third game!" Dumbledore imitated Sirius, interrupted suddenly, and said in a firm tone: "The third game is a maze, and that is the most suitable time to capture Harry!"
Hearing this, Sirius suddenly became nervous...
There are too many dialogues in this chapter, which seems a bit watery, so the word count is compensated to 4000 words.
