On Thursday night, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] sneaks out of Gryffindor Tower with his Egg and heads for the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Prefects|Prefects']] Bathroom, armed with his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]] and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Marauder's Map|Marauder's Map]] to avoid being [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 14|caught again]] by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]] for breaking curfew. The bathroom is luxuriously decorated in white marble and contains stacks of fluffy towels and a pool-sized tub with hundreds of jeweled taps that spew, among other things, many-colored bubbles. On the wall is a painting of a beautiful mermaid. Harry slips into the water and plays with the taps a bit before opening the Egg. It wails horribly. He slams it shut and is startled by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Moaning Myrtle|Moaning Myrtle]], who suddenly appears, sitting on the tub's edge. She suggests putting the Egg in the water. OnceWhen Harrythe egg is submerged and opened, aHarry hears faint singing is heard. Dunking his head, Harry hears the Egg singing about something he will sorely miss that will be at the bottom of the lake. He will have only one hour to find it. Harry guesses, and Myrtle confirms, that there are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Merpeople|Merpeople]] in the lake. She is upset when Harry ponders how he will be able to breathe underwater, saying that nobody remembers that she can't breathe any more.
 
Harry gathers the Egg and his other belongings and, covered by his Cloak, prepares to head back to Gryffindor tower. The Map shows no one is in the halls except [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peeves|Peeves]]. Someone is in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]'s office: [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Bartemius Crouch]]. Harry wonders why Mr. Crouch is at Hogwarts so late, particularly as he is apparently ill and was unable to attend the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball|Yule Ball]]. Harry decides to investigate, but as he is concentrating on the map, his foot becomes trapped in a trick step, causing him to drop the Egg and the Marauder's Map. The Egg rolls down the staircase and starts wailing, summoning Filch who in turn yells at Peeves, assuming the Poltergeist had stolen a Champion's Egg. Snape arrives and dismisses Filch's accusations about Peeves, and claims someone broke into his office. It had to be a wizard; Snape seals his office with a Charm to prevent Peeves from entering. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]] appears and is concerned that someone was in Snape's office. Moody's magical eye spots Harry under his Cloak, but he says nothing and offers to help Snape investigate the break-in. Snape demurs, saying he believes it was a student stealing potion ingredients. Moody wonders if Snape could be hiding something else, to which Snape retorts that Moody has previously searched his office. Moody says that it is an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Auror|Auror]]'s privilege. Although [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] may have faith in Snape's loyalty, Moody is less trusting. Moody dismisses Snape, causing Snape to bridle. Moody then spots the Marauder's Map on the floor; Snape immediately recognizes it. Harry, under his Invisibility Cloak, gesticulates madly to Moody that it is his., and Moody [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Accio|summons]] the map from Snape's fingers over to him. Snape, furious, probes the air searching for Harry hiding under his cloak. Moody claims nobody is there, though he thinks it curious how quickly Snape's thoughts turned to Harry. Detecting a threat, Snape departs. Filch, protesting that the Egg is evidence, reluctantly hands it over to Moody and leaves.
 
The map fascinates Moody, who is seemingly unable to keep either eye off it. He helps Harry from the trap step and asks if the map showed who was in Snape's office. Harry replies it was Mr. Crouch. Moody is amazed, and explains that Crouch is obsessed with catching Dark wizards, far more than Moody himself. Moody asks to borrow the map. Harry, deeply relieved he does not have to explain where he got it (and thereby implicate [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]]), agrees. As he goes into his office, Moody suggests that Harry consider becoming an Auror. When Moody asks if Harry was just taking his Egg for a stroll, Harry says he was working out the clue. Later, Harry thinks he would like to see how badly scarred other Aurors are before choosing that career path.

Several important things should be noted: one, Bartemius Crouch, who was too ill to attend the Yule Ball and sent [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy Weasley]] in his place, is apparently well enough to travel to Hogwarts and root through Snape's office. Another is the Egg and its song; solving the Egg's riddle only leads to yet another problem for Harry—how to breathe underwater for one hour. The Tournament is now only a few weeks away, and Harry's procrastination in solving the riddle has wasted much valuable time; he will need help and have to work especially hard if he is to solve this next crucial step in time.
 
Additionally, there is Professor Moody's odd behavior when he spots the Marauder's Map. He is intensely interested in it, staring fixedly at the parchment when he realizes what it is, and then borrowing it from Harry. Just as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Professor Lupin]] had in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 14|''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'']], Moody's timely intervention prevents Snape from punishing Harry, with his timely intervention. Here Moody shows his unconventional personality, and, as he has previously demonstrated, that he is far less concerned about rule breaking than either Filch or Snape. This trait has helped make him a popular teacher, though his actions here may have as much to do with his ongoing enmity with Snape as it does with protecting Harry. Also like Lupin, Moody prevented Snape from confiscating the Marauder's Map, scooping it from his grasp with the Summoning spell. Some readers may wonder why Harry failed to do the same; he had his wand, attempting to blank the map with it when Filch appeared. It seems likely that Harry, with the Egg screaming and Filch rapidly approaching, may simply have panicked. One can imagine the words "Why didn't I remember that?" flashing across Harry's mind when Moody cast the Summoning charm. This particular charm had proved especially difficult for Harry to learn, however, and he may still be having some trouble using it, particularly under duress. Harry's gratitude to Moody is such that he readily agrees to loan him the map, though Harry is probably wondering just why and how Moody intends to use it.
 
== Questions ==
Dòng 35:
The Marauder's Map's power once again strips away disguises; in ''[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 17|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', it correctly spotted [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]] when, in his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|Animagus]] form, he was disguised as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Scabbers|Scabbers]]. In this case, it showed "Bartemius Crouch" in Snape's office. Of course, it was [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.|the false Moody]] collecting ingredients to brew more [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Polyjuice Potion|Polyjuice Potion]]. While the Marauder's Map correctly gave his name, it is apparently unable to differentiate between Bartemius Crouch Sr., and Bartemius Crouch Jr., who is using the Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Moody. However, this is a clear indication that Polyjuice potion cannot fool the map, any more than it is deceived by Animagi.
 
This explains Moody's interest in the map, and why he is so keen to borrow it: apart from it being a useful tool that shows everyone's whereabouts at the school, it can also expose him as an impostor. It was imperative to get the map away from Harry to conceal his true identity. There may have been an even more immediate need for Moody getting the map into his possession: the map was revealing that it was Barty Crouch standing directly opposite Harry rather than the real Mad Eye Moody. Also, it does seem that if Harry were a little more observant, he might have noticed on the map that the real "Mad Eye" Moody never appears to leave the Defensive Arts instructor's living quarters (where he is being imprisoned) or that Barty Crouch is often in places and at times when only Mad Eye Moody should be there. Moody's suggestion that Harry become an Auror may have been intended as flattery to distract Harry's attention away from the map and also deflect questions as to exactly why Moody would want the map. Whether or not Moody's flattery was genuine, Harry is indeed well-suited to becoming an Auror, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defence Against the Dark Arts]] being his best subject; Barty may realize he needs to be cautious around Harry because of this. Also, it does seem that if Harry were a little more observant, he might have noticed on the map that the real "Mad Eye" Moody never appears to leave the Defensive Arts instructor's living quarters (where he is being imprisoned) or that Barty Crouch is often in places and at times when only Mad Eye Moody should be there.
 
In a later chapter, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]] claims Snape was never accused of being a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eater]]; this is actually incorrect, Snape was accused, but [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] vouched for him. It was, we believe, Moody who arrested Snape, and who is probably still suspicious that he is a Death Eater; the false Moody will display this same belief in order to be true to his model, and to avoid making Dumbledore suspicious. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Igor Karkaroff|Karkaroff]] is a known Death Eater, Sirius mentioned that just before the first task. If Snape was or still is a Death Eater, as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], Harry, and to a lesser extent [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] suspect, that would explain why he and Karkaroff were on a first-name basis at the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball|Yule Ball]].
 
Finally, it is unknown whether Barty Crouch, Jr. actually knows if Snape was a Death Eater. It is learned [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 37|at the end of this book]] that Snape bears the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dark Mark|Dark Mark]], which not only brands Death Eaters, but also acts as a summons from the Dark Lord. In the second chapter of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 2|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], we learn that Snape not only is a Death Eater, but had become part of Voldemort's inner council; given his knowledge of Voldemort's plans concerning the Potters, as revealed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|in the final book]], it is likely that he had been in Voldemort's inner councils also in his previous rise to power. Considering how young Barty was when he was imprisoned, it is possible that he was never directly connected with Voldemort, but only associated with the Dark Lord's supporters after Voldemort himself was gone. If so, he might have learned that Snape was in Voldemort's inner council from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix Lestrange]] or her associates, or possibly, more recently, from the true Alastor Moody. Barty is likely unaware that Dumbledore vouched for Snape's allegiance, but he would immediately see that Dumbledore had complete trust in him despite his Dark history.
