After class, Elwyn and Corin went to the auditorium for lunch.
Elwyn had made up his mind to have a talk with Keresis, who was pretending to be Moody.
After what happened this morning, he could no longer pretend in front of Elwyn.
It was only his second day here, and he had already caused such a ruckus. Undeniably, this guy was a terrible impersonator.
As soon as they arrived at the third floor, they saw Moody limping out of the classroom.
Elwyn let Corin go first, and he turned around to greet Moody.
"Hello, Professor. Do you have a minute?" Elwyn said with a smile, "I want to talk to you about what just happened."
Moody turned around, and his long, gray hair hung down along his twisted, scarred face. His normal eyes stared coldly at Elwyn, while the magic eye turned to the back of his head, closely watching the little wizards walking down the stairs.
Everyone looked at them curiously, wondering what Elwyn and Moody were talking about.
"Of course, if you don't have time, I can ask Professor Dumbledore about it." Elwyn continued, "A powerful wizard like him must have a lot of experience in dealing with vampires."
"Come in!" Moody said in a hoarse voice, his face grim.
Elwyn followed Moody into the office, and Moody closed the door behind them.
He turned around and looked at Elwyn. Both the magic eye and the normal eye were staring at Elwyn at the same time.
"What do you want to say?" he asked softly.
"It's just a casual chat. For example, the terrifying monster I saw in your memory, or your purpose for coming here. Anything is fine." Elwyn put his hands behind his back. "But before that, Professor, I hope you'd better take your hand off the wand. You know it won't work. You've already tested it, the Soul Snatch Curse doesn't work on me. "
"That's hard to say!" Moody stared at Elwyn. "We can try the Amnesia Curse or some other magic."
"Of course, vampires have many special spells that are very effective, but it would be too obvious if you did that. Dumbledore can sense your magical fluctuations." Elwyn looked at him with interest. "You don't want to be discovered by the principal, do you?"
Moody did not answer, but his right hand remained on his wand.
"I think the fact that I didn't go straight to the headmaster's office but came to you shows my sincerity." Elwyn said, "I am very grateful for your help in the ruins of the Fallen Centaur in Almania a few months ago. Also, I have a good relationship with Elaine. From this point of view, you should be my elder. You once said the same thing. Unless you have decided to follow the Lord Voldemort wholeheartedly, in my opinion, cooperation is the wisest choice. "
"I don't understand what you're saying," Moody said, but his right hand let go of his wand.
"It's too boring to continue like this. I recognize your magic, Keresis!" Elwyn said bluntly. He turned around and looked around. "You used the Compound Decoction to transform into Moody, right? This is indeed a very practical magic potion. Even under the protection of the castle's ancient magic, it still works. The only inconvenience is that I have to bring Moody with me at all times and obtain the materials to transform from him. Let me see, where are you hiding him? "
When the previous three owners of this office were here, Elwyn had been here many times.
When Lockhart was here, the walls were filled with pictures of Professor Lockhart smiling and winking at him.
When Lupin was here, he would often encounter strange and interesting creatures of black magic. He had obtained them for them to study in the academy.
As for Sirius, he maintained Lupin's style, but was more messy, and could find interesting gadgets at any time.
Now, this office was filled with a lot of strange things.
They were all things that Moody had used when he was an Auror. Keresis did not hesitate to move them over.
On the desk, there was something that looked like a cracked glass top. It was a speculum.
On the corner of a small table, there was a strange thing.
It looked a little like a golden television antenna, but it was twisted and constantly emitted a soft buzzing sound.
Opposite Elwyn, there was something like a mirror hanging on the wall, but it did not reflect the scene in the room.
There were many dark silhouettes swaying back and forth, but they were all blurry and indistinct.
"It seems that you've broken all these things!" Elwyn said softly. "Be it this speculum, that detector, or the mirror on the wall, they are all very useful magic detectors. They can clearly sense danger in the surroundings. If I'm not mistaken, they should be reacting to you if you keep their master, Moody, in this box. "
Below the window was a large box with seven keyholes arranged in a row.
"I hate these things. They're too sensitive!" Moody replied softly.
To be more precise, it was Keresis.
Even though he still looked Moody, he had already regained his usual tone and manner of speech, no longer pretending.
"Elwyn, you really surprised me. During the last World Cup, I thought you and that girl were dead for sure. I didn't expect you to use the power of the Sorcerer's Stone." He took out a cup and poured two cups of hot tea. "It's the same this time. You found out my identity so quickly. I was too careless. I should have known that you wouldn't be so easily controlled by the Soul Snatch Curse. I thought I disguised myself so well that even Dumbledore didn't notice. "
"That's hard to say. The headmaster might have noticed, but he just didn't say anything." Elwyn sat down on the chair opposite the table and said slowly, "In Hogwarts, nothing can be hidden from him."
"Cunning human wizard." Keresis whispered and looked at Elwyn with great interest. "Now that you've found out my identity, what are you going to do?"
"As I said, I hope to cooperate with you. In a sense, we have the same goal."
"The same goal?!" Keresis repeated with a smile on his face. "My people and I have no reason to reject kindness."
