Ivan grabbed the wand and walked across a corridor to the door of the office of the Black Magic Defense Arts Class. Hesitated whether to go in and catch people directly or wait at the door to wait for Moody to come out before launching an attack.

Ivan has outstanding self-responsibility and believes that Moody and Batty are not their opponents, but they will not be careless either. It is obviously safer to choose the latter.

However, what he didn't expect was that Moody, who entered the office, seemed to be staying inside, and he was not seeing him for a long time.

Ivan waited in place for more than ten minutes, and his already lacking patience was gradually exhausted in the cold wind.

As a last resort, Ivan turned his attention to the live spot map again. This time it was not to check whether Moody had come out, but to try to find out the locations of Dumbledore and Hermione.

According to the previous agreement, they should have arrived.

However, what surprised Ivan was that the names of Dumbledore and Hermione magically disappeared on this map of live spots.

Ivan's brows frowned. This situation was completely beyond his expectations. He relied on the map of the live spots to solve a lot of trouble in the past four years, but today it completely failed...

"They shouldn't go in early?" Ivan murmured to himself, he suspected that Dumbledore had taken Hermione to arrest people.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ivan, who was blowing cold wind outside the door, finally made up his mind to go to Moody's office to take a look!

"Protegos~(armor protection)" Ivan first carefully blessed himself with an iron armor spell, and then pointed to the door lock and released another one.

“Alohora~(Alahora hole opens)”

With a slight sound, the locked office door was opened.

Ivan gently pushed open the door and walked in. It was very dark inside and could not see his five fingers. It was not until he cast a spell to ignite the fireplace on the side that the orange-red firelight illuminated the surroundings.

The interior layout was exactly the same as when he came last time, but it was still so messy. Many documents and strange magic items were piled up randomly on wooden tables.

In the mirror opposite, several figures were vaguely reflected, which looked very strange.

Ivan stepped forward a few steps before taking a closer look, but the monster skull hanging on the wall next to him made a buzzing sound at this moment.

“Diffindo~(split)”

Almost instantly, Ivan hit a spell with his backhand, blowing the monster's skull to pieces.

Looking at the wreckage on the ground, Ivan was not happy at all. He didn't know how this magic prop was alerted, whether it was a sound or something else, and whether Moody knew that he had come in.

"Forget it, I always have to face it..." Ivan sighed, not struggling with it for too long. He had known that Moody had installed a warning device in the office, and he had no hope of hiding it from the other party. It was just a head-on fight.

Thinking of this, Ivan no longer had the caution as before, and his eyes were directly placed on the seven large boxes piled in the corner.

He strode over, blew up the lock on the box with a spell, kicking the first box over to the ground, and a pile of spell books and several broken spectacles fell to the ground.

Then, the six boxes in the front were opened by Ivan, containing all kinds of debris and several conspicuous black magic items.

Ivan's movements became more and more cautious, but his speed was not slow at all. He quickly opened the last box.

What disappointed him was that there was no secret passage he imagined inside, and there were stacks of newspapers and a bunch of student homework in the box casually.

"This is strange. Where was that?" Ivan touched his chin and murmured to himself, his eyes glanced around, and looked at every part of the office.

Since Moody disappeared out of thin air in this office, there must be another enclosed space.

Could it be that there is a passage in the fireplace? Or is Moody left here through Floor fans?

Ivan glanced at it and felt it was unlikely.

Make a hole behind the wall?

It's also difficult... here is Hogwarts, and the entire castle is blessed with magic, but it's not that easy to transform.

Ivan's eyes wandered in the office, swept through the mirror and small cabinets, and suddenly saw the mahogany table in the center of the office, and then his eyes stopped.

Because this wooden table is very strange, it looks square and has no base under it, to some extent, it is no different from a large box.

The most important thing is that he has been to the offices of several professors and has never seen such a desk. It is probably brought by Moody himself.

Ivan walked to the mahogany table and gently tapped it on the table. A crisp sound came from the contact point. The corner of Ivan's mouth curled up slightly, which proved that the table was empty.

It would have destroyed the magic of the extended space inside and caused Moody to die. Ivan did not dare to violently use the spell to blow up the table, but carefully studied the way to open the wooden table.

This is not a difficult task for Ivan, who is close to level seven in alchemy. In less than half a minute, Ivan found the mechanism to start - a sensor with a golden antenna on the corner of the table.

After fiddling with it, the golden antenna shrank down, the wooden table slowly vibrated, and a gap was cracked on the left and right, and the baffle at the front end quickly sank into the bottom, and an open passage appeared in front of Ivan.

The passage is like a door, and there is a dark and narrow corridor inside.

The moment it opened, a strong and strange smell spread.

Ivan subconsciously covered his nose and took a few steps back. He almost thought it was some special black magic. Then he remembered that when he first entered Moody's office, he seemed to have smelled a similar strange smell.

Moody and Batty little should not have to commit suicide...

Thinking about this, Ivan let go of his hands covering his nose and smelled it carefully. He felt a little like feces and food rotting, fermenting and smelling.

Thinking of the food Moody sent in every day and the harsh ventilation of this wooden box, Ivan probably understood how this smell accumulated.

I have to say that in order to successfully hide the map of the Living Spot, Batty Crouch is really cruel to him!

Ivan sneered, and blessed a bubble spell to his body to prevent those unpleasant scents, and then went down the stairs of the passage.

Torches on both sides lit up one by one, illuminating the road ahead.

What surprised Ivan was that there were a large number of prophet Daily newspapers on the walls on all sides. When I first looked, the conspicuous front page title was full of familiar faces, all of which were news reports related to him and Harry!

Before Ivan could see more, his eyes were frozen in the room at the end of the passage - Moody, whom he had been looking for, was standing there, looking at a huge spectator with his back to him, motionless, and seemed to have not noticed that someone had walked in.

However, when I got closer, Ivan saw that the mirror was the scene in the office above. It was obvious that Moody had discovered it when he first came in.
