Barty Crouch Jr. was an inner circle Death Eater.
In terms of combat, he is not inferior to the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. So facing the disarming spell flying towards him he didn't panic.
Instead, he calmly drew out his wand to deal with it.
"Confringo!"
"Afflicto!"
"Bombarda!"
"Incendio!"
Lucas wasn't about to stop, he threw four spells at the fake Moody in a row, forcing the opponent to fight back.
Whether it's Crouch Jr. or the real Mad-Eye Moody, they are not the type to swallow their anger.
So a battle between professor and student started.
The other students in the classroom ran to the walls on both sides, looking worriedly at the two people dueling in the middle.
"How did it become like this?"
"What's wrong with Grindelwald? Why does it sound like he's deliberately troubling Professor Moody."
"Would you be angry if you were subjected to the Killing Curse? That would be to joke with your own life."
Someone in the crowd stood by Lucas and spoke for him, while others chose to defend Mad-Eye Moody.
Harry and his companions, obviously, are on the second list.
Harry looked at Lucas who was dueling with Professor Moody with envy in his eyes.
He didn't know when he would reach this level.
"Ha! Just watch, Professor Moody will definitely teach that arrogant Grindelwald a lesson."
Ron simply looked at Lucas annoyed, he believed that Mad-Eye Moody would win the final victory.
The duel was still going on and the spells used were getting more and more advanced, even dangerous.
"Crucio!"
"Protego Diabolica!"
The Unforgivable Curse and blue fire appeared in the classroom.
But fortunately, both of them restrained their strength.
The fake Moody's Cruciatus seemed to miss Lucas' body on purpose.
Lucas' fire just raged around him, and it didn't actually burn anything.
Both of them understood in their hearts. If they really fight, none of them can escape the investigation.
As long as they don't go over the top, they can still use the excuse of a friendly duel. The two seemed to have reached a strange understanding.
Lucas raised his wand again, but just when he was about to cast the spell.
A loud shout came from behind: "Expelliarmus!"
The disarming spell hit Lucas' wand.
He turned his head to look at the attacker indifferently and saw that Harry was pointing at himself with his wand.
"Lucas, Professor Moody is our teacher, you shouldn't be fighting him."
"Harry Potter…" Lucas said the other party's name in a low voice.
At the same time, Moody pointed his wand at Lucas and cast a silent stunning charm.
Lucas dodged the spell, waved his right hand, and the parchments on the desk flew up.
Those parchments revolved around the fake Moody and from time to time, there were one or two hitting his face.
Lucas took the opportunity to get close to the opponent and performed a jaw kick that smashed the fake Moody's jaw.
At the same time Gryffindor's sword appeared in his left hand and Lucas swung the sword, cutting off the fake Moody's prosthetic leg.
The other hand recalled his wand. Before Harry could react, he used the disarming charm to knock him into the air.
Harry bumped against the classroom wall, and before he could recover from the pain, he saw countless magic wands appearing in front of his eyes.
The first to point at him was actually Hermione's vine wood wand.
Seeing the hatred in Hermione Granger's eyes, Harry suddenly realized that he seemed to have done a very stupid thing just now.
When Dumbledore arrived with several professors, it was to find a fake Moody in distress and Harry surrounded by students from Slytherin House.
"Lucas, what the hell is going on here?"
"Then you need to ask the famous Mr. Harry Potter."
Seeing the anger on Lucas' face, the professors set their sights on Harry, who hesitated for a long time, his face turned red and he didn't speak clearly.
In the end, students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stood up and helped the professors understand the truth of the matter.
Dumbledore and Professor Snape looked at Harry in disbelief. They also understood why Lucas was so angry.
"And what about Professor Moody?"
Hearing Dumbledore's question, a Hufflepuff started to explain again.
Knowing the detailed process, Professor McGonagall exclaimed: "Alastor, how can you use the Unforgivable Curse on students."
"You are absolutely crazy, Headmaster Dumbledore, I recommend that Alastor Moody be removed from his position as a professor."
Fake Moody was a little flustered now.
He looked at Dumbledore and said, "Albus, I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't use a lot of force. Even the Cruciatus Curse I used later missed on purpose."
"Rather than saying that we were fighting, it is better to say that we were dueling. As for Harry, he was also just helping me, so please don't blame him."
Hearing that Professor Moody did not forget to speak up for himself at this time, Harry was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Dumbledore listened carefully, picking up on Moody's slurred words.
"Alastor, I think you need Madam Pomfrey's help right now."
"But before that, I need to punish you. For the next month, you will not be able to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"I hope you can reflect on yourself these days, and Severus will help you by taking over your lessons for now."
Under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore and several other professors, Moody nodded reluctantly.
This meant that his chances of getting in touch with Harry would decrease again, so he gave Lucas another look before being carried away.
His eyes seemed to be filled with only anger, but there was an inextricable hatred in his eyes.
Seeing those eyes, Lucas knew that his job was done.
When Moody was carried out of the classroom, Lucas and Dumbledore exchanged glances.
Although there was a little accident in the process, the result was still good.
Before Lucas led the people from his House to leave the classroom, he took a cold look at Harry who was sitting on the ground.
That look of his terrified Harry.
Once the Slytherins left, Harry saw Dumbledore and the professors walking towards him.
"Harry, you shouldn't attack your classmates at any time, let alone a sneak attack from behind. In order to let you remember this lesson, I will deduct fifty points from Gryffindor."
Harry didn't expect the punishment to be so severe, but before he could react and try to defend himself, Dumbledore left the classroom.
Professor Snape let out a disdainful chuckle before leaving.
This matter was far from over today.
Under the promotion of the other three Houses, the incident swept through Hogwarts like a gust of wind and everyone learned that Harry Potter sneak attacked Lucas Grindelwald who was busy dueling, nearly getting him hurt.
Harry Potter has completely become the sworn enemy of Slytherin.
Even Draco, who was a good friend of his, no longer took the initiative to speak to Harry.
"Look, Harry Potter is here."
"How embarrassing, to sneak attack someone from behind!"
"If it wasn't for Mr Grindelwald's superior skills, he might be injured by now."
"To be able to still win under such conditions is amazing."
Harry walked through the corridor with his head down, not daring to look at the sneering faces of the crowd.
Hearing the sound of discussion coming from everywhere around him, he quickened his pace and fled this place quickly.
This situation continued until the end of September.
With the arrival of October.
The attention of the students in the castle was all attracted by another matter.
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry are coming soon.
The original dirty corners of the castle have been thoroughly cleaned.
Several unattractive portraits in the corridor were also taken down and the suits of armor polished.
Even the ghosts tidied themselves up. It was all for the upcoming two schools.
Not only that.
In order to welcome the arrival of the two schools, the great hall was also specially decorated.
The golden lion red banner representing Gryffindor.
The silver snake green banner representing Slytherin.
The golden eagle blue banner representing Ravenclaw.
The black badger yellow banner representing Hufflepuff.
And most importantly, the Hogwarts banner surrounded by the four house emblems.
The whole room was filled with the atmosphere of Hogwarts. Even the magic on the ceiling turned into sunlight in Autumn.
With the arrival of October 30th.
The students have been a little absent-minded all day, and the professors were also very forgiving.
Even Professor Snape didn't scold them too much for being distracted.
The sun was almost setting. Today's classes ended half an hour early.
Everyone put on clean robes as required, and also put on Hogwarts cloaks.
The weather at the end of October is already very cold, but even the cold couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the students.
The four Houses gathered in front of the school under the leadership of their respective Heads of House, getting ready for the upcoming welcome ceremony.
The students gathered together, trying to guess how the two schools will appear in a while.
Some people think that they are coming by train.
Others suggested that the two schools would come flying on broomsticks.
Just then, Dumbledore, who stood next to the professors, looked at the distant sky and said suddenly: "If I read correctly, it should be the delegation from Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately started looking for the so-called Beauxbaton delegation.
Until a student pointed to the distant sky and said: "Look, over there in the sky!"
