"I didn't know you knew," Moody admitted.<br />
"So, who put my name in the Goblet?" Harry asked. "Skeeter hinted that Bagman was suspected of<br />
being a Death Eater, but I don't see that being likely. And if he was, would he have had the talent to<br />
hex the Goblet of Fire?" He didn't say when Skeeter had told him this.<br />
"To tell the truth, I don't think he was a Death Eater, and I agree he wouldn't have had the power to<br />
hex the Goblet," Moody agreed.<br />
"And would he have been alone with it long enough to have done it?"<br />
"Probably not, but maybe," Moody hedged.<br />
"So, if it was a Death Eater, it was Snape, Karkaroff, or someone I don't know about . . . or<br />
Dumbledore."<br />
"Dumbledore?!"<br />
"Oh, I don't mean Dumbledore is a Death Eater, or even all that Dark, but wasn't it obvious from the<br />
way I explained things that he set me up to stop Voldemort from getting the Sorcerer's Stone? That<br />
he knew I would try and stop the memory of Tom Riddle and the bloody basilisk? He was training<br />
me <strong>by</strong> throwing me in to deep water and seeing if I could swim. Last year must have been a terrible<br />
disappointment."<br />
"He hasn't told me the full story about what happened with Black," Moody hinted. Harry obliged<br />
and told him. "Well, at least I understand why Dumbledore told me not to hex Black if I saw him,"<br />
Moody said at the end. "Would have been nice if he had given me the details."<br />
"Does he ever?" Harry asked bitterly.<br />
"No, no I suppose not," Moody agreed. "I congratulate you, Potter. You've made me suspicious of<br />
Albus Dumbledore, and I wouldn't have thought it possible. I can say, there are no known Death<br />
Eaters here, other than the two you've mentioned. I'm a suspicious man, and I have a difficult time<br />
believing Bagman was anything but an unwitting stooge."<br />
"So if there is one, he or she's in disguise," Harry said. "Possible, but not likely."<br />
"Is there something else, lad?" Moody asked, glad to get away from the idea of a third Death Eater<br />
in disguise. "If it's not about Miss Granger, I might be able to help."<br />
"There is, and it's not about Hermione," Harry said, now ready to launch his tall tale.
