"Give me the golden egg!" Moody said forcefully, repeating himself.
Filch hesitated for a moment, then handed the golden egg to Moody and smacked his lips at Madame Dolores.
The cat looked around blankly. It stared at Harry and Ron for a few seconds, then turned around and followed its master down the stairs.
"Come on, dear!" Filch whispered. "We don't need the golden egg. We'll go find Dumbledore first thing in the morning and tell him what Naughty Goat did."
A door banged. Now only Moody, Elwyn, and Hermione were left looking at each other.
"That was dangerous, wasn't it?!" He struggled down the stairs and sat down weakly on the first step.
Ivan also breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at Keresis.
Fortunately, Snape was a little afraid of Moody's identity. Otherwise, it would have been a terrible night.
Looking at Snape's terrible expression when he left, he must hate Moody to death.
"Well, you two can come out now!" Keresis said, turning his head.
"Who were you talking to, Professor?" Hermione asked, surprised to see Harry and Ron appear in the middle of the stairs.
"Thank you, Professor!" Harry said weakly.
With Ron's help, he freed his leg from the trick and climbed to the top step.
The step returned to normal in an instant, as if it had never changed.
"Harry, Ron, what are you two doing here?" Hermione asked.
"We were looking for clues about the golden egg!" Ron whispered. "What about you? Why did you and Elwyn come back so late?"
"We were also doing something serious!" Hermione said matter-of-factly. "So you know the secret of the golden egg?!"
"Of course!" Ron glanced at Moody and said nothing more.
"Alright, kid!" Keresis suddenly said, his magical eyes rolling crazily. "I'm not interested in your little secrets. Wandering outside in the middle of the night won't give you any inspiration. Take your golden egg and go back to sleep. Remember, don't throw it away again! "
"Professor, I want to talk to you alone!" Elwyn said in a low voice, wanting to know what Keresis was up to.
"Of course, you can go to my office tomorrow morning. Now go back to sleep!" Keresis replied.
Elwyn nodded, noticing that his expression was a little unnatural.
Sure enough, Snape's magic had injured him. He had been holding on just now, but now he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Professor, is it about Elwyn and my confinement?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"There's no confinement. You don't want me to punish the four of you, do you?!" Keresis asked, revealing a terrifying smile.
"Of course not!" Hermione said hurriedly.
"That's good. Good night, everyone!" He stood up, climbed the stairs with difficulty, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"He's a good guy, although he looks scary, isn't he?!"
A few minutes later, the four of them were walking along the familiar path to Gryffindor's Tower.
"Professor Moody is indeed a good guy!" Elwyn said thoughtfully. Thinking back on what had happened tonight, he felt that something was not quite right. "So many things happened tonight. It's so weird. What on earth was he looking for in Snape's office?"
"Maybe it's some contraband related to black magic. Do you remember?!" Harry analyzed. There was a hint of excitement in his voice. "Snape just said that Professor Moody searched his office. Moody must think there's something in there."
"You mean Snape hid contraband in his office?!" Ron said. "Moody not only kept an eye on Kakarov, but also on Snape?"
"Exactly. That's why Professor Moody broke into Snape's office tonight to look for contraband," Harry said. "Moody said that the reason Dumbledore let Snape stay here was to give him a second chance. What on earth did he do in the first place?"
This did make sense. If Moody wasn't impersonated by Keresis, he might have really done this.
"Maybe Moody thinks it was Snape who threw my name into the Goblet of Fire!" Ron said, his eyes suddenly widening.
"Oh, Ron, it can't be Snape!" Hermione shook her head doubtfully. "He had countless chances to kill us in the past few years. Remember, last time we thought that Snape wanted to kill Harry, we didn't expect him to save Harry."
There was a moment of silence. It was true. If Snape wanted to do it, it wouldn't have been so troublesome.
Besides, although he might hate Ron, he had no reason to kill him.
If he wanted to kill someone here, compared to Ron, Harry should be his first target.
Everyone knew that Snape had a strange attitude towards Harry.
He did save Harry's life in the past, but at the same time, he hated Harry to the core, just like how he hated Harry's father when they were in school together.
Snape liked to deduct points from Harry and never missed an opportunity to punish Harry. He even proposed to expel Harry from school.
"I'm really grateful to Moody for helping us, but I don't care what he says. He's too paranoid." Hermione continued, "Dumbledore isn't stupid. Take Hagrid and Professor Lupin for example. Many people refuse to give them jobs, even though Snape is a little bad."
"Alright, let's think about it another way!" Ron said, shaking his head. He gave up trying to figure out why Moody searched Snape's office. "Do you know Keresis Slytherin and Barty Crouch? I saw them on the marauder map tonight. "
"What?!" Elwyn raised his head and looked at Ron in surprise. "You saw Keresis and Barty Crouch?!"
"Yeah, I was holding the marauder map at the time. Their names appeared on the map for a while, then disappeared immediately. I was the only one who saw them," Ron said, telling him about the two names he saw that night.
Elwyn listened to him while deep in thought.
Keresis's name was enchanted and would not be marked on the marauder map.
Elwyn had already verified it, but since Ron saw his name on the map, it meant that Snape's magic had worked.
That powerful incantation was most likely a hybrid incantation.
It broke through all the disguises on Keresis's body and seriously injured him. That was why he had to escape in his original appearance.
If he could still maintain his Moody appearance, he could have stayed in Snape's office and provoked him like he did just now.
