[hp] stay out of it

Professor Dumbledore took one look at Sirius, who quickly cast a spell on me and himself, then made a face at me before we both disappeared into thin air.

Professor McGonagall stepped forward to open the door, and Crouch, the head of the Communication Department, stood firmly at the door. Although he slammed into a small corridor on a broom just now, he seemed more energetic than before.He passed Professor McGonagall and saw Professor Dumbledore behind the desk. He was a little displeased to have a private meeting with the principal and vice-principal, but he still explained seriously how he found it: "A student saw Alastor Moody coming in. —Do you have any clues?"

Professor McGonagall let him in, and quickly locked the door.Only then did Crouch see the sturdy "Moody" tied to a chair in the corner of the room, and the latter was staring at him with a very complicated look.Crouch glanced at him calmly, then turned to Dumbledore: "I don't want to meddle in Hogwarts' private affairs - but I hope you're not abusing/private/torturing."

He didn't pay much attention to the fact that an Auror was tied up a few steps away, but then he mentioned the fugitive he was more concerned about: "Anyway, Dumbledore, I lost it." Sirius and the boy who helped him escape, and you have an obligation to help the Ministry as much as you can—I remind you, Headmaster, that this is the second time Black has disappeared from your school."

"On the matter," Dumbledore said politely, as if not understanding Crouch's insinuation that he was shielding Sirius (which he was), "your conviction is debatable. And I think we've got witnesses who might prove his innocence."

"Oh, who?" Crouch asked.

"Obviously." Professor McGonagall said, tilting his head towards the corner: "Is there a second person here who looks like he knows the mysterious man's information?"

Crouch looked back at the silent "Moody" in the corner of the wall, staring at him with a half-smile, and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Then you have to be a little patient, Barty. We still need to wait for someone who will bring the potion we need in this matter." Professor Dumbledore glanced back at the portrait on the wall, and one of them left The witch with neat short hair nodded: "Professor Snape has found something and is on his way."

When did he message Snape?I silently watched these adults talking about the old days like watching a TV series, but I still don't know how the principal used to deliver the news.He really didn't know anyone.But having said that, there is no need for a great wizard of this level to show us every spell he casts, and he is not performing.

But Sirius was obviously concerned about another problem. When he heard Snape's name, he let out a loud snort from his nose. Crouch looked over suspiciously. At this time, the headmaster kindly offered him a glass of Honey water diverted his attention.

"Thank you," Crouch said, then took a symbolic sip and placed it on the table.

"So you think this teacher at your school is involved with dark wizards?" he asked.

"We need the last step of confirmation..." Professor Dumbledore said, and then he looked back at Little Crouch, and said, "Ah, it seems that we will get intuitive confirmation soon."

"What?" Old Crouch also turned his head and looked over.

"Before that, Mr. Crouch, I have to remind you not to get too excited..." Professor Dumbledore seemed to sigh, and glanced between the two Crouches.

Little Crouch's Polyjuice Potion was wearing off, and he moved uncomfortably, the physical features that belonged to Moody gradually blurred and quickly melted into his original appearance.

Gradually the slashing scars on his face that belonged to Moody—the scars that belonged to the glory of Moody's battles against the Dark Wizard—reverted to his original smooth, freckled face; His hair gradually returned to light yellow, and the magic eyes and false legs were detached from his body with his muffled groan.

Before it was all over, Mr. Crouch knew what was going on.The son of the Death Eaters who should have died in Azkaban for a long time has now sneaked into Hogwarts, which made Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall look at him with questioning and blame.

Mr. Crouch was trembling with anger. His first reaction was to pull out his wand and cast a spell on his son. Professor McGonagall stopped him in time: "Director, you have no right to do that. He is a sneak A fugitive from Hogwarts, his disposal should go through the procedures of the Ministry-and before that, we must first find out what he did when he came to Hogwarts instead of Moody, and what he intends to do. do what."

Mr. Crouch was staring at his son angrily at this time, but suddenly his eyes were blank, and his face became expressionless for a moment.

I immediately recognized what that look represented - thanks to Vincent's childhood experience - it was the classic reaction to the effect of the Rementum Charm.People under the Imperius Curse generally don't do any good things that benefit society, I have a deep understanding.Almost by physical instinct, I took a step forward, raised my wand, and said the most brutal and powerful way to break the Imperius Curse:

"Cruciate—!"

No one blamed me for my actions, because almost at the same time, Mr. Crouch, who suddenly burst into flames, also completed his magic, and all the restraints on Little Crouch were untied, and then went to pick him up with a dazed face father tosses the wand over.

Mr. Crouch crouched under my Cruciatus Curse, and the thrown wand missed the point and landed on the ground between them.He rushed to get the wand, but beside him was Dumbledore, the best wizard in England for centuries, so before he could take a step, he found himself bundled up again, and this Once, there would be no preferential treatment of sitting in an ottoman.

Professor McGonagall's office was in a mess. McGonagall caught up and raised his wand and gave Crouch another shot. Then he looked around vigilantly because he couldn't tell when Mr. Crouch got the Imperius Curse. I also used a revealing spell, but the spell revealed that the only invisible people in the room were me and Sirius; Sirius, who was anxiously calling my name, found me by using the light marked by the revealing spell, and was asking if I was okay; Professor Dumbledore helped Mr. Crouch, who was a little sluggish due to the two Unforgivable Curses, put him on a chair beside him, and examined him.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Professor Snape strode in with a crystal bottle in hand: "I heard someone chanting the Unforgivable Curse." He didn't look at the mess, but first used the magic The door was sealed with a curse, and an anti-tapping charm was cast.

"I read it," I replied, and Mr. Crouch didn't seem to have time to bother me in all the confusion.There was no need to hide, so I lifted the effect of the Disillusionment Charm.

"Oh?" Snape also saw clearly who was lying in the chair at this time, he raised his eyebrows, and made a strange upturned voice: a student cast the Unforgivable Curse on the Ministry of Magic official, and it was very dangerous. It worked (the Unforgivable Curse is very demanding on the caster), and the student happened to be the son of one of his most hated people.There are so many angles from which this fact can be used satirically, it seems that he is not sure which direction to use his poisonous tongue for a moment.

Then Sirius also lifted the Disillusionment Curse, and was half-kneeling to check if there was anything wrong with me, not caring that his old enemy had just entered this room.

"Oh." Professor Snape's voice dropped, and he raised his wand quickly.

"Severus, he's one of us." Professor Dumbledore stopped him immediately.

"Oh." This time I was truly disappointed.Snape squinted his eyes and put down his wand, paused for half a second, then walked to the other side of the room and looked at the struggling little Crouch on the ground.

"So, the fugitives from Azkaban are not going to get away with it, but are going to have a party here?" Professor Snape recognized Crouch, and he looked around the office and found that everyone was a little upset , I was the only one who looked at him idly.He ignored me and said to the others: "It seems that no one is going to explain the situation here for me - what happened to the eyeballs and legs on the ground? Mad-Eye was roasted and eaten by two deranged fugitives Did it drop?"

It wasn't because Professor Snape couldn't hold back his temper, but this scene was just too unbelievable.Come to think of it, there are two headmasters of Hogwarts, Crouch and his son (one of Crouch should be dead for a long time), and me and Sirius, and the ground belongs to Moody Part of the Professor, plus Snape himself, there were three people in the room who had been accused of being Death Eaters.

This lineup was a bit irrelevant, no wonder Snape opened his mouth to ask a question.

Professor Dumbledore straightened up and announced to us: "Mr. Crouch seems to have been under the Imperius Curse for some time. His spirit is very weak. If it wasn't for the Imperius Curse, he would have collapsed long ago—— I have to say, Mr. White, your method of breaking the curse is very effective, but I suggest you not to do it in the future. Let us adults do such a terrible thing as fighting. "

Looking at the expressions of several other adults, I know that the matter of my illegal spell just now has been exposed for the time being, but after the trouble here is over, there must be a lot of conversations waiting for me.

This is not a big deal, but what makes me feel very upset is that my negligence almost caused a big mess.Because I've been confused about when old Crouch got the Imperius Curse from the beginning - I always thought it was at least after Christmas, which hadn't come yet, because, as things went, it was supposed to be after that He never appeared in front of everyone again, but now it seems that this time has to be pushed forward by at least two months.

Little Crouch was controlled just now, so there is no doubt that it was Voldemort who manipulated Mr. Crouch to explode—I thought he would use old Crouch to get rid of Dumbledore, but Voldemort chose To help little Crouch escape.

How should I put it, is it possible that Voldemort finally has a sense of humanity and knows how to protect his loyal subordinates?
