BXBX NOVEL Chapter 670: clue
"That\'s why he doesn\'t allow the elf to clean his room..." Hermione muttered to herself, she already wondered why Ivan had asked those questions before.
"But why did Professor Moody do this? I heard that he was a powerful Auror before. He has captured a lot of dark wizards and Death Eaters. It is impossible to serve the mysterious man!" Hermione was very confused.
If Ivan hadn\'t told Moody\'s all kinds of doubts, she couldn\'t imagine that Professor Moody might be a bad person.
"I don\'t know... I\'m just guessing!" Ivan shook his head. He couldn\'t be sure whether it was true or not. There were too many doubts.
Moreover, Moody himself is a very suspicious person. It is normal not to allow house elves to enter the room. This is also the reason why he has noticed something strange before but has no doubt.
"Could it be that someone pretended to be Professor Moody with the compound decoction, and then hid the real Professor Moody?"
Hermione immediately thought of this possibility, only then "Professor Moody" must provide food to another person, lest he starve to death.
"It shouldn\'t be... the time effect of the compound decoction is limited, unless he can replenish it at any time, it will definitely reveal the stuff!" Ivan shook his head. He had checked this a long time ago, and Moody did not carry the wine with him. It is the habit of the gourd to not drink a certain kind of beverage from time to time during class.
"In contrast, I suspect it is the Imperius Curse!" Ivan said hesitantly.
Hermione\'s eyes widened. Of course, she understood what the Imperius Curse was. Moody just explained the effects of this magic in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year. It can control a wizard unconsciously and even more so. Listed as the three most unforgivable curses!
"Moody\'s is a very cautious Auror. His willpower is not weak. It is impossible for ordinary people to control him for such a long time. I guess it was a mysterious person who did it himself. In order to prevent Moody from breaking free, he must be alone. Supervise him and consolidate the effect of the Imperius Curse regularly..." Ivan spoke openly.
Ivan has also practiced such a practical black magic as the Imperius Curse, and is clear about the drawbacks of it being broken away by the strong-willed.
As for the solution to the shortcomings, it is not impossible. Just like he controlled Nott, sending someone to monitor and consolidate the Imperius Curse on a regular basis can greatly prevent the opponent from getting out of his control.
Of course, this method is not perfect.
Because it is easy to cast the Imperius Curse on the same person in a short period of time, it is easy for the other party to have corresponding resistance, which greatly weakens the power of the spell, which requires more frequent spells until it falls into an infinite loop.
Hermione’s understanding of Ivan’s curse was far less clear than Ivan’s, but she could understand the seriousness of the matter, so after Ivan finished her guess, she hurriedly pulled him to run upstairs. . "Since Professor Moody is under control, let\'s save him now!"
"Wait, Hermione!" Ivan helplessly stopped Hermione\'s movements, and then said again in the little witch\'s puzzled eyes.
"I\'m only suspicious, there is not enough evidence to prove it! What if Professor Moody is really a big appetite, and happens to like to eat midnight snacks while working overtime at night? This is not impossible."
Hermione was dumbfounded, she stared at Ivan blankly, and after a while, she pursed her lips in distress and spoke. "Then...then what should we do?"
"Of course I go back and think about it, and see if I can find more clues in the past few days..." Ivan said hesitantly, but before he could finish this time, Hermione interrupted directly.
"Don\'t lie to me, you must be going to find Professor Moody alone later!"
The little witch bit her lip and stared at Ivan very angrily. How could she not guess that Ivan was going to fool herself, and then ventured on her own. She couldn\'t hate to say a few words for a while.
But thinking that she might not be able to help with following, Hermione swallowed the words that had arrived again, feeling depressed in her heart, and finally had to whisper aggrievedly.
"This is too dangerous, you should at least tell Professor Dumbledore about this! What if this is actually a trap, and someone deliberately reveals a flaw to lure you into being fooled?"
Ivan looked at the little witch in front of him, sighed for a long time, and said in compromise. "Well, you are right this time!"
Due to the inconvenience of revealing a lot of information, Ivan has become accustomed to solving all the problems by one person over the years, and occasionally has been tricked several times, but Hermione reminded him this time that there is indeed no need to take risks alone.
...
Half an hour later,
In the principal\'s room on the top floor of the tower, Ivan briefly explained his guess, while Dumbledore was pacing in the wide office with his brows frowned.
"Halse, can you be sure that Alastor was controlled by the Imperius spell?" Dumbledore asked.
Ivan shook his head. Everything he said was just guessing, and he couldn\'t be 100% sure.
"Professor Dumbledore, is there no way to detect this kind of black magic?" Hermione said suspiciously.
"It\'s a pity ~www.mtlnovel.com~Miss Granger, as far as I know, there is no special counter-curse for the Imperius Curse, otherwise it would not be classified as an unforgivable curse." Dumbledore replied.
Ivan nodded. The magic of the Imperius Curse is very tricky. It once caused a lot of trouble to the Ministry of Magic. Death Eaters like Lucius used it to get rid of sin, relying on the difficulty of the Imperius Curse. Features of forensics.
Only those clever masters can find some clues by browsing the memory.
But Moody\'s vigilance is too high, if someone uses sanctuary on him, he will definitely be noticed.
Ivan recalled several previous contacts, and found that Moody almost used that magic eye to look at himself. Obviously, the other party was consciously guarding against this.
Dumbledore pondered for a long time. Alastor is one of his most trusted friends.
Since most of the school year, the other party has not revealed anything wrong, everything is so familiar, so he never doubted this old friend, and even entrusted the other party with the heavy task of investigating the Goblet of Fire...
