Chapter 576 Moody: Are You Doubting Me?

Unfortunately, Ivan was disappointed to find that there was nothing there.

"Are you observing me? Why?" Moody was keenly aware of Ivan's gaze and suddenly turned his head, staring at him with his blue magic eyes.

Ivan's expression flashed. He didn't expect Moody's sense to be so sensitive.

But after a short moment of confusion, Ivan reacted, looked apologetic, and explained. "Please forgive me, Professor! I think you should also know about the rumors about the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts"

"Are you referring to that legend? Every year, wizards who hold the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts are in bad luck?" Moody asked.

"I think this is not just a rumor. The previous professors have unfortunately come true. No one can teach for more than one year!" Ivan talked eloquently and flattered him, "But I think you are such a legend. Maybe the Auror can break this curse!"

"Stop flattering me, boy!"

Moody sneered and waved his hand, not wanting to take this trick. He bent down, stared at Ivan with his strange blue magic eyes, and spoke word by word. "I guess that's not what you really want to say! The look in your eyes just now told me that you were doubting me, right?"

"Why do you think so? Professor?" Moody's words once again exceeded Ivan's expectations, and he frowned.

"I already did my homework before coming here, kid!" Moody grinned, and the crutch he held in his right hand paused heavily on the floor.

"I have to say that Albus did lack some consideration when choosing people. The professors in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in previous years were all very special. One was a dark wizard, a liar with no ability and a werewolf! I heard that they were all You found it out, so it’s normal for you to doubt me.”

When talking about Lupin's identity, Moody lowered his voice very low to ensure that only Ivan and the others could hear him.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were all surprised and didn't quite understand how Moody knew the identity of Professor Lupin.

Ivan was not surprised. Moody and Lupine were both members of the Order of the Phoenix, so it was normal for them to know each other well.

The only thing that was beyond his expectation was that Moody directly brought his suspicions to light, which made Ivan somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ivan was very thick-skinned. Even if he was exposed in person, there would be no change on his face. He turned to say with admiration.

"Professor is indeed a legend in the Auror world. It seems that I can't hide anything from you! I apologize to Professor for my previous offense!"

"Hey, the flattery this time is somewhat sincere!" Moody sneered, and then continued. "Besides, you don't have to apologize to me for this! It's a good habit to be vigilant at all times!"

"I understand that feeling, Hals!" Moody lowered his head, his face suddenly becoming nervous, "I have captured too many Death Eaters in my life, and many escaped dark wizards regard me as A thorn in their side, they will definitely get rid of me at all costs if given the chance!"

"So I have to do this every time"

As he spoke, Moody picked up a donut on the table, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then took out the silver knife in his arms and poked it a few times to confirm that it was not poisonous, and finally threw it away with confidence. Into the mouth.

"Well, these desserts look good. I have to take some back to eat!" Moody muttered, smacking his lips.

Ivan looked at Moody's neurotic and cautious behavior and was immediately speechless. Isn't he afraid of a nervous breakdown if he lives in fear all day long?

Moody didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. He had already regarded this caution as a habit. After swallowing the donut, he spoke again.

"I read the newspaper issue a few months ago, and I have to say that your debate in the Inquisition was wonderful, Hals! If Dumbledore hadn't told me some of your stories, I wouldn't have dared I believe that a little wizard can have so many legendary experiences."

"I dare say that if you come to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, you will definitely be the best Auror in history!"

Moody looked at Ivan with no hint of appreciation in his words.

"If there is a chance, I will consider it!" Ivan shrugged and said noncommittally,

"Really?" Moody heard the perfunctoriness in Ivan's words, and there was a look of disappointment on his face, but he didn't try to persuade him any more. He took a plate and took away some desserts on the table, and before leaving, he Don't forget to turn around and remind you.

"Remember to always be alert, boy!"

Watching Moody's retreating back, Ivan's doubts disappeared a lot. Regardless of his speech, behavior or acuity, the other person was the real Moody.

"It seems we will have a great Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, just like last year!" Harry said with emotion.

"He is a true master of defense against the dark arts, a legendary Auror in the magical world!" Hermione also nodded in agreement.

Then the little witch looked at Ivan again and continued to speak. "I think Professor Moody is right. Ivan, you are very suitable to be an Auror. If I become the Minister of Magic, how about I hire you as the Executive Director?"

"Wait a minute, Hermione, aren't you planning to liberate the house elves recently? Why is the Minister of Magic involved again?" Ron asked strangely.

"This is not a conflict, is it? Only becoming the Minister of Magic can truly change wizards' discrimination against house elves! During this time, I also plan to go to the kitchen to ask more about the house elves' thoughts," Hermione said with confidence. , and even considered what duties to assign to Harry and Ron.

However, neither of them paid any attention to Hermione's whimsical remarks. It was not so easy to become the Minister of Magic.

Ivan was secretly glad that his words last night had some effect. At least in the near future, he didn't have to worry about Hermione taking out the "vomiting" badge and forcing them to wear it.

Thinking like this, Ivan turned his attention to the Daily Prophet that he had not finished reading.

In addition to the photo of Death Eaters attacking the camp on the front page, Ivan also saw the scene below of Sirius being captured by several Aurors.

"Sirius is too reckless. The Quidditch pitch is so chaotic. He should stay there to protect you!" Ivan shook his head and couldn't help but said.

"I think Sirius must believe that we can protect ourselves!" Harry defended his godfather.

Ivan rolled his eyes. They were lucky at best. If they really ran into a group of Death Eaters, the little "self-defense magic" they had learned in the past few years would be different from giving it away for free. ?

However, Ivan also knew how much Sirius hated Death Eaters. Given his character, when he saw the Death Eaters boldly appearing in the camp outside the World Cup, setting fires wantonly and abusing Muggles, he would immediately rush to attack them. That's normal
