After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Chapter 143 Little Barty

Professor Alastor Moody, or Barty Crouch Jr., was currently pacing back and forth in his office in a restless manner, his heart filled with worry and uneasiness.

Since the Quidditch World Cup, Harry Potter, the boy known as the "savior", has disappeared without a trace! Not only that, but his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger have also disappeared.

What is even more puzzling is that even Draco Malfoy, the only son of the Malfoy family, disappeared inexplicably.

The entire wizarding world was thrown into chaos as people searched for the four children. Rumors arose, some saying they were kidnapped by Death Eaters, others that they had been taken by the resurrected Voldemort.

However, Barty Jr. could only sneer helplessly. As a core member of the Death Eaters, he knew clearly that these rumors were nonsense. If it were true, he would not be completely ignorant of it.

Barty frowned and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Dumbledore hid them? Or someone else..." His eyes flickered, as if he was considering some possibility. Then he stopped and said to himself, "No, I have to find out what happened."

Although he knew the rumor was nonsense, Lucius Malfoy seemed to believe it.

The head of the Malfoy family, who had always been submissive in front of his master, was now like a madman, tightly grasping the Death Eater and seemed to have completely forgotten his fear of the Dark Lord. Malfoy Manor was also completely sealed off, and even the master could not break through.

However, this was not the most troublesome problem for him. More importantly, Barty Crouch Jr. felt that Dumbledore began to doubt him.

He threw Harry Potter's name into the Goblet of Fire. After all, no one could predict whether the savior would suddenly appear.

However, as long as he could show up before the third round, everything would be fine, because the Goblet of Fire did not allow contestants to withdraw. By then, he only needed to make some secret moves, even if it was just a formality, to ensure that Harry Potter could enter the competition.

He even hoped that the shame of his master would disappear without a trace. However, without Harry Potter, his master would be in trouble! The master had clearly stated that he would need Harry Potter's blood to be resurrected!

As the master's most loyal servant, how could he not be able to handle such a trivial matter properly? How would the master view him?

He was becoming increasingly restless. Could it be that some incredibly foolish Death Eater had taken Harry Potter away? After all, the night of the Quidditch World Cup was filled with such chaos that it would have been difficult to detect someone missing.

Barty Crouch Jr. gripped the Polyjuice Potion tightly in his hand and took a deep gulp. Before Harry Potter returned, he had to remain highly alert and cautious, absolutely not letting his identity be exposed! He hadn't yet completed the mission his master had given him, and he couldn't afford to let it fail at this moment!

---------------------------------

Tomorrow was the first game of the new semester, and all the students gathered in the school auditorium for dinner. As they ate, they murmured and talked among themselves.

A month had passed since the Savior's disappearance, but people were still talking about it. Only those close to the missing person were still worried.

The Weasley family sat there, the atmosphere around them gloomy, as if shrouded in a haze. The twin brothers, Fred and George, had lost their smiles, looking somewhat dejected. Their friends silently patted their shoulders, offering silent support and comfort. After all, a whole month had passed, and there was still no news about Ron Weasley... perhaps... alas...

On the Slytherin side, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini had equally gloomy expressions.

Draco Malfoy may not be the good boy in the eyes of his classmates, but to his friends, he is undoubtedly the most trustworthy companion. Now his whereabouts are unknown, which makes them very worried.

Pansy Parkinson was furious when she saw Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, who looked like the reincarnation of starving ghosts.

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat! Draco is missing and you're still in the mood to eat?!"

Crabbe lowered his head, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, while Goyle grinned happily.

"Draco will be fine." In Goyle's impression, Draco never failed to succeed in anything he wanted to do. He was always awesome! Although his tone was a bit harsh, he would remember what Goyle liked to eat and always brought him all kinds of delicious food.

Crabbe, however, didn't think so. He wished nothing could happen to Draco Malfoy. He bossed him around like he was his servant. He also kept trying to buy them off with small favors, even though he clearly didn't want them!

But he also knew that he couldn't slander Draco in front of Pansy and the others, so he reluctantly agreed with Goyle's statement. So no one knew what he was thinking.

Pansy Parkinson was about to say something when a black hole as tall as a door suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall and a person slowly walked out.

"Aunt Narcissa?" Pansy Parkinson cried out in surprise.

The person who showed up was Narcissa, who was supposed to be staying at Malfoy Manor.

The professors in the teaching booth who had stood up and were on guard the moment the black hole appeared looked at the elegant figure in surprise.

Severus Snape was the first to notice something was wrong. This was definitely not the Narcissa Malfoy he knew!

Narcissa ignored everyone's vigilance and smiled slightly, then stamped her feet lightly. A huge magic circle enveloped the entire hall, and everyone, including Albus Dumbledore, was suppressed and unable to move.

"Mom, can I come out now?" Everyone heard the voice coming from the black hole.

"Okay." Narcissa said gently, giving up her seat.

One figure after another appeared in everyone's disbelief.

Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley... Eh? Another Draco Malfoy!? ...Another Harry Potter? Hermione Granger? Ron Weasley?

It was not until the red-haired man finally walked out that the black hole slowly closed.

Albus Dumbledore's pupils trembled. The students didn't recognize the last person, but he looked familiar! Wasn't this just the younger version of him?

Dumbledore felt the gazes of the teachers and looked up to meet Albus Dumbledore's eyes. He smiled and said, "Hello, my counterpart."

"Excuse me, everyone. Nice to meet you. I'm Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's mother." Narcissa bowed slightly. Then she glanced around and walked straight to the teacher's seat.

Under the vigilant, fearful, or curious gazes of the crowd, she pulled Barty Crouch Jr. over and fed him a bottle of potion.

Little Barty had a bad feeling, but he was suppressed and unable to move, so he could only let Narcissa feed him the potion.

When did Narcissa Malfoy become so powerful? He thought in a trance.

As everyone was shocked, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's face twitched and changed into another one.

Albus Dumbledore and Snape both looked serious when they recognized the face.

What on earth is going on? Everyone was shocked beyond words.

This, this is really not someone's joke?

Harry, Draco and the other three had no idea about Narcissa's performance, except that she was so handsome. On the other hand, Harry Potter and the other three were very uneasy.

Not only were they being stared at from all directions, but also a series of events that unfolded caught them off guard.

Ah... Is Mrs. Malfoy so powerful? The three of them looked at Draco Malfoy in unison.

Draco Malfoy shook his head in a daze. "I, I don't know either. My mother is just a noble lady who loves her family. She's never used any magic in front of him. Housework? Don't we have house-elves?"

However, seeing that the professor gradually changed into another appearance, they all thought of the Polyjuice Potion - just add something from the person you want to become into the decoction (anything will do - toenail dandruff, dandruff or even worse, but usually hair is used), and after taking it, you can get the appearance of that person.

"Excuse me, everyone." Narcissa waved her hand lightly, and the magic circle disappeared without a trace.

Even though the heavy pressure on them disappeared, the auditorium was completely silent. Or rather, no one dared to speak.
