The focus of Harry's current attention is of course not whether Gryffindor was given a bonus for himself, but Sherlock's attitude towards Snape at this moment.

"What about Snape, Professor, what should he do?"

Sherlock didn't say anything to Harrydo, he just waved his hand.

"You don't have to worry about Snape so much. I didn't take what you told me as a warning, and I will handle it properly."

With his promise, Harry left the office with a little peace of mind.

At least from past experience, Sherlock is always reliable in handling these things.

After Harry left, Sherlock shook his head with some sigh.

As expected, Harry is the real protagonist of this world, and he can encounter anything.

The communication between Snape and Kakarov was approved by Dumbledore, and the words he said were also to make his position seem more biased towards Voldemort's side.

To prevent Snape's identity as planned by Snape will not be maintained if Kakarov really returns to the Death Eater camp.

Fortunately, Harry is not as brainless as the original work. He always knows that his mother's soul is also in him and can only survive by relying on him. If he dies, it will not be just a matter of safety for him alone.

This is a real good thing, otherwise who would know what Harry would secretly follow Snape to do later.

After Harry told Herlock everything he knew, he had no more attention to studying whether Snape would betray Dumbledore.

The second competition event is getting closer and closer. Although he has known the content of the second event, he still has not found a way to move freely underwater for a long time.

Even the day before the competition officially began, he stayed in the library all day, trying to find a spell that could help him, but he didn't even notice that Ron and Hermione were called by Professor McGonagall that day and didn't come back without a day.

And on the morning of the competition, he was still in the library.

It was early this morning when Sherlock looked at the pretty good weather today and was planning to call Hilk to go to the auditorium for breakfast together, an old female voice rang beside him.

"Professor Forrest, Dumbledore has something to call you to his office, and the office password is 'lemonade'."

The portraits responsible for delivering the message are Dalis, the former principal of Hogwarts. Generally, if these portraits are dispatched, there will be basically some emergency situations.

Sherlock frowned, and when his original plan was to nod, he nodded and agreed.

"I'll go there now."

After saying that, he went straight to Dumbledore's office. There was no one else here, only Dumbledore sat at the desk with a serious expression, and his deep blue eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing Sherlock come in, he spoke directly.

"Someone found Barty near Dartmouth Town in Devon. The Ministry of Magic has not received any news yet. I want you to go there first to see the situation."

Sherlock did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked.

"Did you find that Crouch's man reliable?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"A old member of the Order of Phoenix has been engaged in herbal breeding business in Devon after he was disbanded, so he told me about this matter as soon as he discovered the problem, rather than notifying the Ministry of Magic."

Sherlock had no other objections to this, just looked at Dumbledore.

"So what result do you want? Even if Crouch appears, we can't be sure if this is a trap."

Dumbledore's thumbs rubbed against each other, and he whispered after a few seconds.

"You must first ensure your own safety during this trip. After all, you are their target. Then, bring Batty back as safe as possible. I will let Fox follow you. If you encounter any danger or confirm Batty's identity, then let Fox use Phantom Transformation immediately."

As Dumbledore spoke, the Phoenix Fox, who had been combing his feathers on the golden branch, also waved his fiery wings and landed on Sherlock's shoulders.

"Fox's Phantom Movement Magic is very special. With it, you can ignore basically all anti-Phantom Movement Taboos. When encountering dangers that you feel you can't handle, let it ensure your safety."

"I originally wanted Moody to take this trip, but today the second project started. He needs to keep an eye on Kakarov, so this matter can only be left to you."

With Dumbledore giving him enough security measures, Sherlock had nothing to be afraid of.

"I will pay more attention, Professor Dumbledore."

Fox flashed a golden red light with Sherlock, and then disappeared into the principal's room.

At the same time, a secret corner of Dartmouth, a riverside town in Devon, where Sherlock and Fox reappeared.

This small town of Muggle located by the Dart River is a relatively famous tourist destination in Europe. It has a small permanent population, but a large number of migrant population.

After coming here, Sherlock had to contact him first, and naturally the Order member who had contacted Dumbledore and said that he had found Crouch's trace.

The wizard's residence, especially a wizard who works in breeding herbs, will definitely not choose a crowded place.

After leaving the town and walking about two or three kilometers northeast, we arrived at a remote field where Edgar Taylor, the Order member of the Phoenix who Dumbledore mentioned, lives.

There were many greenhouses around the house made of wood like Hagrid.

These greenhouses are basically the same as Hogwarts herbal classrooms, and are all used to cultivate magical herbs.

The wizard named Taylor was a tall and burly witch who seemed to be quite old but tall, and he invited Sherlock into his house.

“I declare to the Muggles that I am growing and researching off-season vegetables to deal with those who are curious, but most people in the town think my business is not very good because they have never seen any big company that buys vegetables from me and sells them.”

"It's a clever excuse, but it will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested in it for a long time."

"You're right, so I'm planning to apply to the Ministry of Magic to set up a Muggle Exit Spell around my own home."

They exchanged a few simple greetings and quickly got to the point.
