Chapter 291 The real culprit has been caught! ?Why is something wrong!
Dumbledore's arrangement was still echoing in his mind, and Hera was walking on the marble stairs in a trance. Anyway, it would be difficult for him to rest tonight. Not to mention the questions from the professors, the questioning from the Ministry of Magic alone made it difficult for him to have time to rest.
Asking Cowper to wake up all the professors and let them come to the principal's office, Hera sat on a chair like a throne, folded her hands, and said very seriously what had just happened, including how Harry found Mr. Crouch on the edge of the field.
"This is the way things are. I will announce the news at breakfast tomorrow. At the same time, the Triwizard Tournament will be temporarily suspended until we investigate everything." Hera tried her best to make her tone appear serious, but this seemed to make the atmosphere in the principal's room too dignified.
"I know." Professor McGonagall's face was tense, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
"Alastor, help me keep an eye on Durmstrang's people, especially Karkaroff, okay?" Hera turned to Barty Jr. and said, he didn't want Barty Jr. to focus on the inside of Hogwarts, it's best to distract him, at least not give him a chance to doubt himself, God knows what Barty Jr. will do when he jumps over the wall?
What if he knew that his identity could not be hidden, and cast a spell on 'Dumbledore' with his last stand?
Hera didn't want to be involved in a melee.
After dismissing the professors, Hera sat in the principal's room, brushing the joints of Dumbledore's elder wand lightly with her fingers, showing a wry smile.
The fireplace in the principal's room suddenly became very large, it suddenly turned green and sprang up very fast, a man with neatly combed hair came out of the flame, it was Mr. Richfar Heilig.
"Mr. Principal, I need an explanation." Richfa's leather shoes clattered to the floor of the principal's office, and the noise caused Hera a headache.
He rubbed his forehead and said with a little distress: "Mr. Heilig, I am not very clear about the situation at hand, but I promise that once Barty wakes up, I will notify the Ministry of Magic."
"I won't leave Hogwarts until Mr. Minister wakes up. The Ministry of Magic needs to ensure his safety." Heilig walked directly across the table with Hera, hugging his shoulders and looking very angry.
Hera shrugged indifferently, "Please, by the way, by the way, Batty is in the school hospital. If you are worried, you can look for him there."
"Thank you." Mr. Heilig showed a smile, bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then stomped away from the principal's room.
Obviously, letting Heilig be in Hogwarts was not a good choice, but Dumbledore hadn't said anything about it before, and Hera knew early on that Barty Jr. was the one who did the tricks, so what was Heilig?
That night, Hera had a hard time. At least ten owls landed in front of the window, and about five or six wizards came to his office in a huff.
"I feel like I also need some calming potions and recovery potions." Hera rubbed her face, the sky outside the window was already pale, and he didn't rest at all.
In the morning, Hera announced Mr. Crouch's matter, and announced that Hogwarts had entered the highest alert state, and everyone was forbidden to act alone, and had to go together to avoid any accidents.
Compared to Hera's hard work, Dumbledore seemed much more relaxed. He only needed to pretend to be asleep on the hospital bed.It didn't look difficult, but Dumbledore could still feel some pain in his old waist.
And just when Hera was about to leave the auditorium, an unexpected person stopped him suddenly.
"Mr. Principal, do you know where Hera went?" Penello stopped Hera from sneaking away. Her complexion was very bad, and heavy dark circles hung under her eyes.
Hera thought for a moment, "He went to perform a very important task, and he should be back soon. You don't have to worry about him too much, it's not dangerous." Hera saw a nervous look on Penello's face, and quickly added an explanation.
To be honest, Hera had a very painful day. He had to deal with all kinds of wizards from the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot. They were very worried about Mr. Crouch's words—the Dark Lord was becoming stronger.
Hera had to explain again and again that everything would have to wait until Mr. Crouch woke up-he even had to drink the strange-smelling Polyjuice Potion every hour, which was simply too painful.
When he had finally dealt with everything and was about to rest, Snape suddenly rushed into the headmaster's office in a hurry.
"Severus, do you have to disturb an old man's rest at night?" Hera looked very unhappy, he hadn't slept for a whole day and night, and his energy was almost reaching its limit.
Snape ignored Hera, and just said coldly, "Dumbledore caught that guy."
"what!?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Hera regained his energy, and he jumped up from his chair, so he didn't have to pretend to be Dumbledore anymore?
After Snape finished speaking, he immediately turned and left the principal's room, his black robe billowing behind him.So, in the corridor, you can see such a strange scene, Snape striding forward, Dumbledore trotting along with him, pulling his robes, his silver hair down to his waist fluttering up and down because he was walking too anxiously.
Pushing open the door of the school infirmary, Hera couldn't believe the scene in front of her eyes.Dumbledore still looked like Crouch, holding Hera's wand in his hand, pointing the tip of the wand at Karkaroff who fell on the ground-even though he had passed out, Dumbledore did not let down his vigilance.
"Karkaroff!?" Hera couldn't help screaming, this was different from what he had imagined! ! !
"Yes, I don't think you read it wrong." Dumbledore said lightly, "I had been suspicious of him long before the Triwizard Tournament. For so many years, I thought he had changed his ways, but I didn't expect that."
"Dumbledore, it wasn't your mistake." Snape stood aside coldly, the aura around him almost frozen.
Dumbledore bent down, wrenched his wand from the unconscious Karkaroff, and turned to look at Snape.
"Severus, please get your most powerful veritaserum."
This is obviously illegal. Veritaserum is a medicine that teaches people to tell the truth. It is extremely effective and can make people reveal the secrets deep in their hearts.Of course, the Ministry of Magic has very strict regulations to control the use of this potion, and it is obviously not in compliance with the regulations to use Veritaserum on Karkaroff in private.
This may even expand into an international event between the British Ministry of Magic and the German Ministry of Magic, which is an extremely troublesome matter.
But obviously Dumbledore doesn't care about these anymore, nothing is more important than the Dark Lord.
Snape came back soon, and he handed Dumbledore a vial of clear liquid, which Hera knew was Veritaserum, one of his most feared potions, and he had too many secrets to confess, and he even wondered if the angry Dumbledore would directly curse him to death if he told everything he had done.
But fortunately, Dumbledore didn't have this plan. He stood up, bent down and dragged Karkaroff up, making him sit on the ground against the wall. Dumbledore opened Karkaroff's mouth, poured three drops of the potion, and stretched his hand towards Hella.
Hera hurriedly took out Dumbledore's elder wand from his pocket, and he hadn't had the energy to look at the wand before handing it back to Dumbledore.To be honest, he was quite curious about Dumbledore's wand - after all, it was the royal wand of the most powerful White Demon King in the world.
Dumbledore took the wand, pointed it at Karkaroff's chest and said, "Resuscitate quickly!"
Karkaroff opened his eyes, his eyes glazed over, his entire face looking slumped.Dumbledore crouched in front of him, face to face with him.
"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
Karkaroff's eyelids trembled a few times.
"I can hear you," he whispered.
"I wish you would tell us," said Dumbledore softly, "why are you here and what are you going to do?"
Karkaroff took a deep, trembling breath, and spoke in a deadpan tone.
"I met the Dark Lord by accident last summer. He was very weak, very weak, he didn't even have a body, and he could only attach himself to the snake. He heard that I was teaching in Durmstrang, so he found me, and his loyal servant, Wormtail. We planned for several months, and finally planned to do it in the Triwizard Tournament"
"Tell me about the Quidditch World Cup," said Dumbledore flat.
"When we got back to the tent," Karkaroff said, "then we heard the voices of the Death Eaters, the guys who never went into Azkaban, they never suffered for my master, they betrayed him. The Dark Lord wanted to attack Harry Potter in the match, but he was too well protected for us to have a chance."
"And then, you cast the Dark Mark?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
"I was very angry. I took my wand and wanted to teach those disloyal guys a lesson. Wormtail cast the Dark Mark, and Lord Dark Lord taught him angrily. We had to leave the venue of the Quidditch World Cup. I heard that the elves of the Crouch family took the blame for us hahahaha!"
Hera covered her mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. How did little Barty do it?
Even if he modifies Karkaroff's memory, can he really make everything perfect?
"Later, we planned to rig the Triwizard Tournament in hopes of giving Harry Potter to my master, but first—"
"You need Barty Crouch," said Dumbledore, his blue eyes blazing with anger, though his voice remained calm.
"Wormtail and I did it. We prepared Polyjuice Potion beforehand, and we went to his house together. Barty fought hard, but it wouldn't be an object. We finally subdued him, and then Wormtail plucked some of his hair and added it to the potion. He mixed the potion and became Crouch. He came to Hogwarts. I manipulated the Goblet of Fire. He announced the rules of the game, so that Harry Potter had to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."
"Where did you hide Barty after you attacked him?" asked Dumbledore.
"We stuffed him into his suitcase. Barty Crouch never allowed anyone to touch it. This gave us a chance." Karkaroff's eyelids trembled.
"It seems that everything has come to light." Hera said, he finally didn't have to drink that super nasty polyjuice soup - I don't know how Barty Jr. did it, he could insist on drinking it every hour.Similarly, he doesn't have to do anything with his own hands in the third project.
"Perhaps so." Dumbledore said calmly, standing up. "Severus, don't you find something strange?"
"It's a little suspicious." Snape nodded, he dragged his chin with his shoulders in his arms, his eyes locked on Karkaroff on the ground. "I don't believe Karkaroff, who has always been a coward, would do these things, and he also betrayed the Dark Lord. He will never forgive his betrayer, even if he is so weak."
"It appears we are of the same opinion," said Dumbledore.
There was silence, only the slight breathing of Karkaroff.
"The crisis cannot be contacted for the time being. I have no doubt that Karkaroff is just a cover to be pushed out, but obviously his methods are not clever." Dumbledore said, "Let Bobby come in, we need to prepare a bed for Karkaroff." After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Hera again: "Hera, please go and find Mr. Heilig and bring him to the school hospital. You need to tell the Ministry of Magic about Karkaroff. Of course, there is also Mr. Krum of Durmstrang. Steer their great ship, or they shall not return to Durmstrang."
"Okay, professor." Hera nodded, and he immediately turned around to look for Mr. Heilig in the castle. Of course, it didn't take him long to meet Mr. Filch, who was on the night watch.
There will always be disobedient little wizards wandering around in the castle. Under the current situation of internal and external troubles, this is obviously extremely dangerous.
"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here?" Filch was still following his pet cat, Mrs. Norris, at his feet.At this moment, it was looking at Hera with wide-eyed eyes. The effect of the compound potion on him had not disappeared, and he still looked like Dumbledore.
Hera cleared her throat and said in a serious voice, "I'm patrolling the castle, Argus, have you seen where Mr. Heilig has gone? It's the Mr. from the Ministry of Magic."
"Oh——" Filch's light bulb-like eyes rolled around, and he tilted his head to look at Mrs. Norris at his feet. "It seems that we bumped into him in the foyer before. He looked very angry. He must be on the field now. Are you right, baby?"
"Meow~"
Thanks to Yu Neng for the reward of 1500 points, and three monthly tickets, thank you very very much! ! !
