Chapter 289 How can anyone infiltrate Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic!?(1/2)
Not many people saw this scene.
The main reason is that most people at the scene are focused on their dance partners.
As for those who didn't have a dance partner, most of them had eaten enough dog food at this time and couldn't stand it anymore and ran outside.
Snape is an exception.
He has been paying attention to the situation with John and Michelle.
The moment he saw the two kissing each other, Snape's eyes narrowed suddenly, his right hand immediately covered his heart, he took a deep breath, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth began to rise.
He moved subconsciously.
And with just such a move, he happened to catch Karkaroff's sight.
This is so embarrassing!
Snape stiffened, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, turning into indifference and a wave of anger.
"What are you looking at?"
Snape said to Karkaroff who was staring at him.
Karkaroff acted even more nervous than Snape.
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he came close to Snape and whispered:
"We need to talk!"
Snape's instinct was to refuse, he hadn't seen enough yet!
But Karkaroff waved his wrist in front of Snape's face, which made Snape change his mind.
The two left the auditorium in silence.
…
On the dance floor.
After dancing a few more times, John and Michelle finally got a little tired.
They gasped, held hands, and retreated to the bar next to them with laughter.
"Are you thirsty? Drink some quickly."
John handed a glass of lemonade with honey into Michelle's hand.
Michelle drank immediately.
Taking advantage of this time, John carefully helped Michelle comb the hair that was stuck to her forehead due to sweat.
"John, you are so kind to me."
After drinking the water, Michelle whispered with happiness on her face.
John helped her to a chair, and while using magic to fan her, he said:
"Let's rest for a while. If we still want to, we can continue dancing later."
Michelle's eyes lit up, she nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course! Dancing is fun!"
Hearing this, John also smiled and sat down.
He wanted to continue to say something, but at this moment, he saw Percy coming over mysteriously and said:
"John, come out and talk to me?"
"Sorry, Percy." John said with an indifferent expression, "This is obviously not a good time."
"Please, John, just for a little while!" Percy begged and looked at Michelle again, "Just for a little while! I promise it won't take too long!"
Seeing his pitiful look, Michelle softened a little, shook John's arm and said:
"Otherwise, John, just listen to what he has to say."
John turned his head and looked over.
As the two made eye contact, John understood what Michelle meant.
After all, Percy is still Mrs. Weasley's son.
Shaking his head, John stood up and said:
"Okay, just for a little while."
“Thank you so much!”
Percy said in surprise.
The two left the auditorium and passed through the foyer.
Like the auditorium, the outside of the castle also changed drastically at this moment.
All snow has been removed.
There are rose bushes created by magic everywhere, and there are many little fairies flying among them. They emit little bits of light and look extremely beautiful.
"John, you should know that I am here to replace Crouch, right?"
The two of them had just walked into a hidden bush when Percy said eagerly.
John nodded and said nothing.
This behavior put more pressure on Percy.
"My information is really valuable!" He shook his hands and said, "I heard about the attack on you in the first project, and I think Crouch is very suspicious!"
John's brows furrowed.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because he's in bad shape, very bad!" Percy said. "To be precise, he hasn't been right since the World Cup. I thought at first he was just too tired, but that's not the case.
Did you know? He actually promoted me and made me his assistant!
Oh my God! He can't even remember my name!
This is so weird!"
John continued to be silent, staring at Percy until Percy couldn't stand the pressure and avoided looking away and then said:
"You shouldn't be so kind and come here to remind me, right?"
Percy lowered his head and said a little embarrassed:
"Actually, I'm not as bad as you think. I really want to remind you and Michelle. But...according to what I've observed recently, what you told me during the summer vacation...may be right.
Mr. Crouch is really not a good leader.
So John...can you please help me put in a good word with Mr. Minister and transfer me to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for the sake of me coming here to remind you?"
The vigilance in John's eyes faded slightly.
He nodded and said calmly:
"If I had the chance, I would."
"Then thank you! Really, thank you so much!"
Percy left with great gratitude.
He really didn't dare to disturb John for too long.
But now, John has no intention of returning to the auditorium as soon as possible.
You know, Percy was already the second person who came to remind him to be careful of Crouch.
He must think carefully about it.
John just walked on the dark path among the rose bushes.
It's actually quite lively here.
The sound of "squeaking" could be heard behind many rose bushes, and from time to time there would be black shadows swinging behind them.
John didn't even need to look carefully to know that this must be the wild mandarin duck who ran out for a tryst in the senior class.
Quickening his pace and leaving this area, John needed absolute silence now.
However, when he walked a little further, he unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.
"...I don't understand why there is such a fuss, Yingor."
"Severus, you can't pretend this didn't happen!" Karkaroff's voice sounded hoarse and frightened, as if he was afraid of being heard. "It has become more and more obvious over the past few months.
I'm very worried now, I can't deny it..."
"Then run away," Snape's voice said impatiently, "run away...I will excuse you. But I want to stay in Hogwarts..."
Snape and Karkaroff came out of the corner.
John quickly cast the [Disguise Curse] on himself.
To be continued...
