Harry Potter and the Hidden Treasure (Volume 3)

Chapter 515 Who Is The Fake Moody?

Indeed, it was a wise decision to openly and honestly use the Imperius curse on the students. No one could guarantee that the fake Moody wouldn't use it to control a student.

Even if he did not dare to do such a thing in front of Dumbledore, there would be no problem with a couple of Legilimancy spells.

This magic allowed the caster to see the memories, emotions, and thoughts of the victim. It was strictly regulated by the Ministry of Magic, and its use was forbidden.

However, the fake Moody disregarded this. It was the perfect opportunity for him to obtain information. By giving young wizards the chance to witness dark magic in class, he could use these spells unscrupulously and with impunity.

Moreover, there were many malevolent spells of dark magic that could be employed, and Evan had learned and worked on many of them. The young wizards were defenseless against this, and he could cast the spells without scruples.

The dreadful part was that there was no way to stop him, and no one would object, because Moody was like that; he would do what the fake Moody would do overtly!

"It's good that you see this now. You can't stay in school forever!" Moody continued, with a sinister smile on his face. "Evan, you are much more powerful than any wizard of your age. It's time for you to witness true Dark Magic. I look forward to seeing your performance... Well, I have reached my destination. I wish you a good night's sleep."

Moody dragged his prosthetic and slowly disappeared into the shadows on the inner side of the second floor.

As Evan gazed at his back, he felt even more unsettled, and his clear thoughts suddenly became tangled.

He passed through a hidden door behind a tapestry and climbed a narrower staircase. As he walked, he pondered on what had transpired that night.

The behavior of this fake Moody tonight was too aberrant. What was his purpose?!

It seemed that not only Harry, but also Evan, were one of his targets.

And the name that couldn't be revealed on the Marauder's Map... Was that fake Moody actually Barty Crouch Jr.?!

If it wasn't him, then who would it be...?

Suddenly, Evan thought of Caresius, the dangerous vampire, who was the only one who could assist Voldemort. And he was powerful enough to use that magic to prevent his name from being marked on the Marauder's Map.

If he had come to Hogwarts as Alastor Moody, then things could become... intriguing, to say the least.

He and Voldemort were only allies, and he was not bound to be loyal to him like the Death Eaters.

In a certain sense, Caresius and Evan had similar goals.

Contemplating this, Evan suppressed the unease in his heart.

He decided to get closer to him according to the original plan to see what the guy was up to.

When Evan returned to the Gryffindor Tower, Hermione was standing outside the Common Room waiting for him.

In the dripping rain outside, her slim figure rested against the orange curtain in the corner.

Hermione was engrossed in the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 4 in front of her. In the bright torchlight at both ends of the hallway, she looked exquisitely beautiful.

She was so immersed in her reading that she hadn't noticed Evan had arrived.

Evan didn't disturb Hermione either. He just watched her, wanting to etch her image in his mind.
