Chapter 385 383. Granger’s Game

Snape didn't make a sound. He just listened quietly to Barty Jr. continue talking. He knew that he didn't need to be a compliment, Barty Jr. would tell all his plans himself, because tonight was the final moment to see the results. when.

"I told you before that I investigated a lot of information about Jon Green, not only his experiences before entering the carriage, but also after he entered the carriage to go to school. I also specifically went to find the Weird man in the Ministry of Magic. The Sly fools learned a few things, including which girls at school Jon Green was closest to."

"I learned from him that the only one in the entire carriage was the Mudblood girl he had rescued from the castle in front of everyone - Hermione Granger, who had a closer relationship with him. That fool thought I wanted to hear him complain, and tell me that when he had a quarrel with Jon Green, this girl named Granger stood by and defended Jon Green. This was perfectly normal. , the hero saves the beauty, and the love-at-first-sight scenes are not uncommon no matter in the wizarding world or the dirty society of Muggles. If you have to choose a dance partner to attend the dance, then the most likely choice for Jon Green is this one. Hermione's girl."

"After getting this conclusion, it couldn't be easier to investigate Hermione. She had lived in the castle for more than a year, and not all the Mudbloods who were at the same level as her were rescued along with them. I extracted a few memories of Mudbloods who knew her, and it became extremely clear what kind of character this girl was. She was brave, kind and compassionate. Ha, at first glance, she was full of weaknesses. She was a simple and easy target to deal with. , it may not be easy to deceive Jon Green about some things. That boy does not look like a student of this age at all. He seems to be able to understand some things at a glance, and such a boy is also fifteen years old. It’s much easier to attack a little girl who has no reputation.”

Little Barty squinted his eyes and looked through the crowd with a smile on his face as he looked at Hermione's right hand, which she raised toward the candlelight. There was an inconspicuous white bracelet on it.

"Did you see that the bait has been successfully hung on the hook? As long as there is no problem with the bait you made, we will have a good show tonight."

Snape's voice was calm. He did not look at the bracelet on Hermione's hand that he had made with his own hands. Instead, he looked at the candlesticks floating in the air in the auditorium. The bright candlelight reflected his pair of hands. Empty eyes.

"The potions I have refined have not made any mistakes so far. If you had doubts about my ability, you would not have approached me to share the credit that should have all belonged to you. "

Little Barty crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair. He watched the flying candlesticks gradually gather in the center of the auditorium. After a band wearing tattered non-mainstream clothes appeared, the entire auditorium began to became quiet.

"Then let us enjoy it slowly."

As his words fell, melodious music sounded gently in the already quiet auditorium, which heralded that today's dance party was about to begin.

When the lantern on the table went out, Jon pulled Hermione and stood up from the chair. Diane and George also stood up beside them.

Not only them, but Draco pulled the girl named Pansy, and Emil hugged the girl named Selwyn, and danced to the center of the auditorium along with the sad and quiet music.

They were being watched by everyone around them, which made Jon always feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the dance steps he had practiced with Rozier for two whole months still worked, and he did not accidentally step on Hermione. That stupid thing about her white feet.

"To be honest, I always feel that you and Professor Dumbledore are hiding something from me."

Jon's face was so close to Hermione's that he could even clearly feel each other's warm breath. It was the first time he was so close to a girl, and in addition, he had no interest in dancing. So just find some topics to talk about at this time.

"It's not that I'm hiding anything from you, but the professor said that you already have enough energy to cope with the competition, so there are some things that we can handle that we don't need to let you know."

Jon put his arm around Hermione's slender waist and spun her around in a circle.

"So what are you doing tonight?"

"You really want to know?"

Hermione looked at Jon, she blinked her long eyelashes, and her eyes illuminated by the candlelight were like twinkling stars in the dark night.

"Maybe you could talk to me about that part about me?"

Hearing his words, Hermione couldn't help but smile. The corners of her mouth curved in a wonderful way, seeming to eclipse everything around her.

"Then actually everything tonight should be related to you."

Jon was a little puzzled by Hermione's answer. He felt that he was living quite leisurely these days, either going fishing or on the way to fishing. Why was it all related to him?

"We will take a break in the middle of the dance, and then I will go to the bathroom, and then another me will come back and sit with you in the auditorium for a while, and finally go out for a walk in the garden."

Hermione did not continue to play riddles. She leaned against Jon's ear and whispered while dancing to the melody.

"There will be a lot of people watching us, especially the two behind me now."

Jon raised his head casually, and then he saw Barty Crouch Jr., who was leisurely leaning on a recliner on the podium, and Severus Snape, who seemed to have no expression for 365 days.

"Do they plan to target us today?"

Just a simple turn of his mind, Jon could guess that the cause must be these two people.

"Remember the half-blood girl in the castle who had a good relationship with me before?"

"Yes, I still remember her name is Asia Conrad."

"Why do you remember her name so clearly? Especially when you are dancing with a lady, you can say it so openly."

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just thought you were too close to her at the time, don't be fooled by someone."

"She is not a liar, she was just used by a group of bad liars. I have always kept a distance from the students in the castle, no matter who it is, you didn't doubt it at the time Why did I suddenly get so close to Asia?"

"I thought you were too bored in the carriage."

"No matter how bored I am, I know my limits. It is dangerous to contact anyone or anything in the castle at this time. It was the day when I rescued her from those pure-blood students and you were there. After Asia went back, I kept an eye on her movements and who she contacted in the castle on the Marauder's Map. This is our biggest advantage. With the Marauder's Map, these people in the castle have no secrets from us, but they don't know. This point. "

"So you saw Crouch or Snape in contact with Asiya on the Marauder's Map at that time?"

"To be precise, it was only Barty Crouch. He had contact with Asiya, but each contact was very short, and it was as if the two of them just met accidentally in the castle. But even if it was just this, I could make a conclusion, that is, whether Asiya knew it or not, her contact with me must be related to Crouch. After confirming this, I immediately went to find Professor Dumbledore, that is, the evening of the day we rescued Asiya. "

" Did the professor tell you not to make it public first? "

"Professor Dumbledore said that their ultimate goal must be you, and using Asia to contact me is likely to be just using me as a springboard. The professor didn't say how to deal with it, he said he wanted to hear my opinion. At that time, I was still skeptical about whether Asia knew what she was doing, so I decided to continue to get along with her for a while and then I found the second problem. "

Hermione gently shook her hand on Jon's shoulder, and the sound of the white beads on the bracelet hitting each other was very crisp.

"My mother used to wear this bracelet, but I remember it very clearly. When my father gave it to my mother, he said that it was a commemorative model for that year. There were only a few sold. My father was lucky enough to win the purchase qualification, and he bought this one. After that, there was no more of the same model for sale. But Asia told me at the time that it was given to her by her mother on her 11th birthday. I was sure at the time that this was definitely not given to her by her mother, but someone found the same bracelet as my mother and handed it to her in order to attract my attention. The only person in the entire Hogwarts Castle who had seen my mother was Barty Crouch, who took me away from home."

Jon couldn't help but be absent-minded when listening to Hermione's calm analysis. He didn't forget that Hermione was really only fifteen years old!

"That was the day I discovered that there was something wrong with the bracelet. I was sure that Asia had been kept in the dark from beginning to end. She was just an ordinary girl who was bullied in Hogwarts Castle and was going to sacrifice herself in exchange for the safety of her family. It was also at that time that I found Professor Dumbledore, told him all my findings, and discussed with him that perhaps we could use this conspiracy to use me as a springboard to eventually target you and complete some of the plans we had been worrying about how to complete."
