"I asked Percy, and he told me that Mr. Crouch is working too hard and is currently resting at home. Owls will be sent to give him instructions regularly. Percy showed me those letters, and they were indeed in Crouch's handwriting. " Sirius said, "But that doesn't mean anything. He hasn't seen Crouch in person!"
"If you ask me, Percy is in love with Crouch. He can't wait to give him more work," Ron said disdainfully.
"That's right. Percy isn't the only one in the ministry who's happy that Crouch suddenly fell ill and couldn't come to work." Sirius said, "As far as I know, Foggy probably thinks it's a good thing, because this way, he doesn't have to ask Crouch for his opinion on everything."
After Crouch's disappearance, the long-standing fragile power balance within the Ministry of Magic was finally broken.
Foggy would have complete control of the Ministry of Magic and no longer have to worry about Mr. Crouch's opinion. No one would oppose him.
It was hard to say that this was a good thing. Elwyn guessed that Foggy would try to weaken Dumbledore's influence next.
He hoped that his power could expand infinitely and that he could resist all people and facts that were disadvantageous to him.
At this critical juncture, Foggy's foolish struggle for power was exactly what Lord Voldemort wanted to see.
The enemy had yet to attack, but the internal chaos had already begun. What could be worse than this?!
They chatted for a while, and Sirius told them that he had been busy with the investigation of the deaths in the Albania Forest and would be making a trip to Albania soon. The European Ministry of Magic and the International Sorcerer Union had all sent people there.
Needless to say, the final outcome of this matter had nothing to do with Lord Voldemort, and it was blamed on the vampires again.
Then, Elwyn asked about the situation of the pursuit of the vampires, but there was still no progress on the Ministry of Magic's side.
Even the vampires that had previously appeared in various ancient ruins were now nowhere to be seen.
They had either found what they were looking for, or they had entered an even more secluded ruin. Either way, it was not a good thing.
Especially after learning from Keresis that not all vampires listened to his orders, Elwyn had been very worried about them.
Vampires who were completely loyal to the Lord Voldemort were far more dangerous than ordinary Death Eaters.
"Alright, it's already one o 'clock in the morning. The four of you should go back to sleep." Sirius said, the flames licking his ears. "If you find anything unusual, you can inform me at any time. By the way, I remember there's a double-sided mirror at home. I'll go back and look for it. That way, it'll be easier for us to communicate. "
Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione stepped forward to bid farewell to him. It was obvious that Harry still had a lot to say.
"Wait, Harry!" Sirius suddenly said. "If your scar hurts again, or if you encounter a situation that the four of you can't handle, immediately look for Dumbledore. He's the only person in the castle that you can trust and can help you."
It was obvious that Sirius was also suspicious of Moody. After all, his behavior that night was too abnormal.
"I know!" Harry said, and looked at Sirius for a while.
Then, they went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep. After about ten minutes, Elwyn slipped back again.
He saw Sirius smiling, waiting for him in the flames …
The conversation that followed became more meaningful. Elwyn told Sirius a lot of valuable information.
As expected, Sirius almost jumped out of the fireplace after knowing these things.
In the end, Elwyn had to tell him and Dumbledore's plan to calm the guy down.
Sirius and Elwyn agreed to watch the second match live and stop Lord Voldemort's conspiracy with Elwyn.
Although Sirius knew about the Soul Tool, Elwyn did not tell him that Harry was also a Soul Tool.
If he knew about this, Sirius would definitely not be able to control himself …
His current state was very good. Elwyn had already found all the helpers and was just waiting for the second match to begin.
For a period of time, the school was quiet. There was no gossip about Rita Skeeter, and Barty Crouch Jr.'s fake Moody gradually became well-behaved.
As the time approached, everyone was looking forward to the second match like Elwyn.
The only interesting thing was that Hagrid had changed to a new magical creature.
He had told everyone in the last class that he had finished teaching them about unicorns.
Now, he stood outside the hut waiting for the students. There were some open cardboard boxes at his feet that they had never seen before.
"Please, it can't be a fried tail conch!" Corin whispered, her heart sinking.
"I think those guys are actually quite cute," Gabry said, disagreeing with Corin's opinion.
She thought that Hagrid's class was really interesting. This girl was probably the only one who had such a reaction.
Unfortunately, Hagrid had not yet recovered from Mrs. Maxim's injuries.
He barely went near Boothbottom's carriage and did not appear at the same time as Mrs. Maxim.
Harry even told Elwyn and the others that he saw Hagrid digging vigorously in front of his hut not long ago.
Just then, Mrs. Maxim came out of Boothbottom's carriage and walked towards Hagrid. It seemed that she wanted to talk to him.
But Hagrid was leaning on his shovel and did not want to talk much. Mrs. Maxim quickly returned to the carriage.
This incident had hurt Hagrid deeply, and he did not have a good attitude towards all of Boothbottom's students.
But facing a little girl like Gabry, who was as cute as an angel, no one would really be indifferent and angry.
Hagrid did not intend to pay attention to Gabry at first, but soon he took the initiative to introduce the new magical creatures in the box to her.
They were furry black guys with long noses and flat front paws like shovels. They were very strange.
When they heard someone approaching the box, they looked up and blinked at the whole class.
Faced with so many people's attention, these cute creatures seemed a little confused.
"These are Sniff!" Hagrid said. "You can usually see them in the mines. They like shiny things."
Elwyn had seen this kind of magical creature in the illustrated book before, but he did not expect them to be so cute.
In his opinion, these Sniff only existed to act cute.
The girls all surrounded them with interest, as if they were facing a unicorn.
