Hogwarts card wizard

In fact, not only Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Luna were all confused about the conversation between the two.

What was clearly talking about Barty Crouch suddenly turned to Bertha Jorkins, an irrelevant person.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Kevin did not play charades, and said directly: "Everyone knows that I sponsor the Quidditch World Cup. Bertha Jorkins was the middleman for this matter in the early stage, and she was responsible for the communication. My opinions and Crouch's are also conveyed through her."

Hermione nodded and said, "It's normal, isn't it? Barty Crouch, as a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, naturally has a lot of work to deal with. It is reasonable to send a reliable person to contact you." middle."

Kevin said: "This is where the problem arises. Jorkins must meet with Crouch. It is reasonable to say that this job is not dangerous at all, but Jorkins has a problem..."

"Wait! Did you just say the Oblivion Curse?" Hermione suddenly figured it out, and said in surprise, "You mean Crouch used the Oblivion Curse on Jorkins!?"

Ron found it incredible, and said, "No way! I asked Percy about her the other day after I heard the name, and Percy said that Cratch liked this Jorkins very much."

Ron's suspicion is not unreasonable. Although the Oblivion Curse is not a forbidden curse, it is true that a dignified director of the Ministry of Magic secretly used the Oblivion Curse on his subordinates. Once it is found out, it will have a great impact on Barty Crouch's reputation Impact.

Hermione said: "No! Ron! Don't you understand? Jorkins must have discovered something, something extremely important to Barty Crouch and not visible, so Buck Crouch would treat her Use the Oblivion Charm. Even... possibly kill her."

"What?" Harry and Ron were shocked.

Ron said: "It's not possible! Crouch killed people, is it possible?"

Luna said: "Hermione is just saying it's possible. But I think Mr. Black thinks what Jorkins saw is the same reason why Barty Crouch came to school sick, and it's the same thing we've been chasing. The truth has something to do with it, maybe even the truth, right?"

Sirius said, "I think it's very likely."

Although Harry thought it made sense and seemed to make sense, Harry still couldn't believe it. He said, "What exactly caused such a commotion?"

If it was true as Luna said, then what Jorkins discovered could no longer be described as horror.

Ron was shocked, and said: "The attack at the World Cup, Kevin's inexplicable participation in the Triwizard Tournament... Merlin! What did Jorkins discover?"

Sirius said: "I don't know, I, Remus, and some old friends have been chasing this matter, but found nothing!"

"I think we can take a guess, what do you think?" Ron suggested, his curiosity about this matter now at an all-time high.

"Don't guess! I know!" Kevin said suddenly.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Sirius stood up from the ground in a hurry, and said impatiently: "Say it!"

If it were someone else, Sirius would definitely say: Are you kidding me?Or just take it as a joke.

But Kevin’s words are more credible. After all, he has contact with Barty Crouch and Bertha Jorkins, and although Kevin is only a student, he needs to master the details. More sensitive than many adult wizards.

Kevin got a glimpse of the truth from the details of those things in the past few years.

It's just that they were all wrong this time, and it has nothing to do with the details.

Kevin said, "Do you know the Pensieve?"

Everyone except Harry nodded.

Harry was surprised and said, "What happened? Did I miss something in class? No! Ron, how do you know?"

Ron smiled bitterly: "Am I so unbearable in your heart? Harry."

Harry hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mean it, and Ron didn't take it seriously, explaining: "I heard from my father that the Pensieve is a magical tool that can see memories, but I don't know what it really looks like. I've seen it."

Hermione knew about the same as Ron this time, and she had never seen what the Pensieve looked like.

Luna said, "I heard that Dumbledore has a Pensieve."

Sirius said: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Kevin, did you see Dumbledore's memory in the Pensieve?"

Kevin nodded, and told everyone what he had seen in the Pensieve.

The fact that Barty Jr. is a Death Eater is not a secret, except for Harry, who doesn't often pay attention to the past of the wizarding world, Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Sirius all know about it.

The son of a high-ranking official was a Death Eater, and it was in that special situation at the time. The impact of this incident can be imagined.

Ron said: "A lot of people know about it. Even though I was young, my dad would talk about it every time he talked about Barty Crouch. He could have been the Minister of Magic. But he was implicated by his son."

"Oh! What a trick of luck." Harry said with emotion, "I heard that Mr. Crouch was very tough on the Death Eaters, but I didn't expect his son to be a Death Eater."

Hermione also learned about this matter from some books, but not in detail. She asked curiously: "Didn't Mr. Crouch excuse his son later?"

"Hehe!" Sirius let out a strange laugh, and said, "Crouch excused his son? Hermione, you don't understand his nature at all. Anything that threatens his reputation must be thrown aside by him. You know ?At the time his whole life was devoted to the cause of becoming Minister for Magic. It's ironic when you think about it now."

Kevin became interested in this and said, "Let's take a short errand first, can you tell me about Crouch?"

Sirius nodded, and said: "In all honesty, he is a great wizard. At that time, everyone knew that Barty Crouch was powerful... Of course! He also had a strong desire for power. But everyone also knew that he would never Voldemort's supporter. Even in those days when everyone was watching, he always publicly stated that he was against the Dark Arts."

Harry said, "That's a nice way to say Mr. Crouch, isn't it?"

Sirius did not deny this, and said: "Yes! When Voldemort was powerful, we didn't know who was his supporter and who was not, who was serving him and who was not. But everyone knows that the Dark Lord can Take people under control and make them do terrible things involuntarily. At that time, no one dared to trust the people around him easily."

Kevin and the others seemed to know a lot about the period of the wizard war, but they didn't seem to know anything.

Even after Voldemort was defeated, everyone was silent about what happened. It was a history that everyone was too terrified to look back at.

What they heard before was only a few words, but now Sirius' words gave them a new understanding of that period of history.
