Chapter 331 Two Memories
Karkaroff stood as straight as he could, and he was strapped tightly to the chair.

"Yes, sir." Despite the fear in his voice, Sherlock could still hear the familiar slick tone, "I would like to serve the Ministry of Magic, and I would like to help. I know the Ministry of Magic is hunting for the Dark Lord." The rest of the party, I am willing to do my best to assist you."

Dumbledore and Moody, who were looking at this memory with Sherlock, looked at Karkaroff sitting in the middle, their faces full of reminiscence.

"I remember that this was a trial that was coming to an end that year. Those important people have been found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment, and the rest are some small roles and uncertain people. Oh, no, I forgot , Those few people were also arrested on this day and faced court trial."

Moody said in a low voice.

Dumbledore nodded, staring at Karkaroff on the iron chair, who was struggling to get himself a chance of freedom, and said.

"There were a lot of trials on this day, but there were only two that deserved our attention."

While they were talking, the people around them who existed in the memory picture were not impressed.

Sherlock and Moody, who saw more than ten years ago, were whispering something to Dumbledore.

"Karkaroff, you said you knew the names of some people," Crouch said. "Please tell us."

"You have to know," Karkaroff looked around on the high platform, as if hoping to find someone who could speak for him.

But to his disappointment, there were more than 200 wizards on the high platform, each one was staring at him coldly, he could only swallow his saliva and say.

"The You-Know-Who has always been very secretive. He wants us, I mean his henchmen—I deeply regret having ever been in the company of them—"

"Stop talking nonsense," said young Moody sarcastically.

"—we never knew the names of all our associates—only he knew who we were—"

"Didn't you say you knew some people's names?" Crouch frowned.

"I am." Karkaroff said breathlessly, "They are all very important followers. I saw them follow his orders with my own eyes. I provide this information to prove that I have completely broken with him and repented. Can't-"

"And the name?" Crouch snapped.

Karkaroff took a deep breath.

"There was Antonin Dolohov. I, I saw him torture countless Muggles and people who didn't support the Dark Lord.

"We have arrested Dolokhov," Crouch said, "shortly after arresting you."

"Really?" Karkaroff's eyes widened, "I—I'm very happy!"

But he didn't look happy, and Sherlock could see that the news had hit him hard, that one of his names was useless.

He later reported the names of several wizards. Obviously, he cherishes the "credentials" that he has now controlled to ensure that he can walk out of Azkaban.

But these few people have also been arrested by the Ministry of Magic, and his informant has not played the slightest role.

Now Karkaroff really became anxious, he was afraid that he would be brought back to the dilapidated island full of dementors again.

"Travers! He aided in the murder of the McKinnons! And Mulciber! He specializes in the Imperius Curse and forces many people to do horrible things! Luke Wood, he's a spy, from within the Ministry of Magic Provide useful information to the mysterious man!"

He had evidently said something of value, which caused an uproar in the stands.

However, Crouch's appetite was obviously not small, and he stared at Karkaroff, as if he wanted to squeeze the last of his value.

"If it's just these things, it won't completely exempt you from the punishment, Karkaroff, you will be sent back to Azkaban, and we will make a decision later."

"And Snape!" Karkaroff yelled. "Severus Snape! I promise he's a Death Eater too!"

Crouch's cold voice shattered his last illusion.

"Snape has been pardoned, and Dumbledore himself came to bail him out."

In Karkaroff's desperate voice, he was pulled out by the dementor again.

His whistleblowing seemed fruitless, and Moody, who was standing next to Sherlock, sneered as he watched Karkaroff being led out.

"His luck is very good. Originally, according to the Ministry of Magic's discussion, he was not going to commute his sentence. After all, except for the undercover Rookwood in the Ministry of Magic, the other names he mentioned have already been found out by Auror alone. "

"However, Batty considered later that giving him enough rewards could set an example for the Death Eaters who were caught later and let them report their accomplices together, so he reduced his sentence to half a year."

While he was speaking, the surrounding scene changed. They were still in this courtroom, but the wizards around them had obviously changed, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than that in Karkaroff's previous scene.

It doesn't look like a serious court trial is going on here, but a star chasing scene.

Dumbledore drew his wand, apparently because the next few trials were of little help to them, so he wanted to press the fast-forward button.

It was only after Sherlock inadvertently caught a glimpse of the interrogate who was arranged to sit on the iron chair, that he suddenly stopped Dumbledore's movements.

"Wait." He looked at the famous Quidditch player who was much younger than ten years later without blinking his eyes. "Why is he going to stand trial? Also because of helping Voldemort?"

Seeing that Sherlock was interested in the following trial, Dumbledore also stopped his plan to fast forward.

He also looked at the man on the iron chair and said softly.

"You'll know when you listen."

"Ludo Bagman, you have been brought before the Council of Magical Laws to answer charges of your Death Eater activities."

Crouch, who was much more exhausted than the Karkaroff trial, said.

"We have listened to your testimony, and now we are going to make a verdict. Do you have anything else to say before the verdict is pronounced?"

"Just one thing." Ludo Bagman, who was a star Crouch player more than ten years ago, smiled unnaturally, "Well, I know I'm a fool."

One or two wizards in the surrounding seats smiled tolerantly, but Crouch was unmoved. He looked down at Ludo Bagman with a serious and loathing expression.

"Ludo Bagman, you were caught passing information to Voldemort's henchmen," Crouch said. "For this reason, I recommend that you be imprisoned in Azkaban for at least—"

But there were angry shouts from the four seats, and several wizards stood up and shook their heads at Crouch, and even waved their fists. They were obviously trying to prevent Crouch from passing the sentence.
