if i am not me

Chapter 119

In the tallest tower of Hogwarts, a trial is going on.Under the question of the silver-haired old man, the man being interrogated was eloquently explaining his question in his flat tone.

"Ever since I missed the World Cup, I knew that you would definitely strengthen your defense against Neville Longbottom, so I began to prepare for the Triwizard Tournament wholeheartedly. This was the best way to catch Neville Longbottom. He said that he was afraid of accidents and wanted a cronies to sneak into Hogwarts, so I came to serve the master."

Barty Crouch Jr. opened and closed his lips stiffly, and kept telling the series of his plans that had been hidden from everyone one by one, while the others listened quietly, for fear of missing any details. .

"But to enter Hogwarts, I need a reasonable identity. And my father needs to work in the Ministry of Magic. He can't stay in Hogwarts often, which will arouse suspicion, so I can only choose other people. This When Wormtail found out that the headmaster of Durmstrang was Karkaroff, I thought of using the students of that school to complete this task. But the master did not allow me to contact him directly, and I was unwilling, because he was also a A traitor is not qualified to continue working for the master, so all this was done secretly. It just so happened that Viktor Krum, whom I met at the World Cup, was also in Durmstrang, and we hijacked him on his way to school Master taught me to use Legilimency to read his memory, I used Polyjuice Potion to transform him into a squirrel as a pet, and followed Karkaroff to Hogwarts."

"No one doubts you?" Dumbledore said, with a strong guiding tone in his tone.

"Viktor Krum is a very indifferent person, and few people talk to him. After I pretended to be Viktor Krum, I was just more taciturn than before, and they all thought it was because I lost The relationship with the World Cup. Then I found that Karkaroff gave him a lot of privileges, and there is a separate room for me to do things. Originally, I wanted Neville Longbottom to be a warrior, so that I could take him away at the right time, but the school There are two Aurors in here, and that mysterious man holding a map, I dare not act rashly."

"The mysterious man with the map?" As soon as he finished speaking, several voices rang out in the otherwise quiet office at the same time, his tone full of astonishment.

"Wormtail said it. He said that there is a person in Hogwarts who holds a 'Marauder's Map' and can see the names that appear on the map at any time. And that person is very powerful. If you let him know that I am in school, There could be accidents."

The moment he finished speaking, everyone present was silent.

Dumbledore lowered his eyelids, wondering what he was thinking.

Snape narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

Sirius and Lupine couldn't help but glance at each other.

Although they temporarily accepted the news that Wormtail was still alive, they never imagined that Wormtail knew so much about Hogwarts.What's more, they never knew that there was a person who was evaluated as "very powerful" by their "old friends" and was hiding in Hogwarts with a "Marauder's Map"—and that person, It is likely to be the person who passed the note to them today!

Unlike the adults' reactions, Draco felt his hands and feet go cold the moment he heard him mention the "map".

Wormtail... If there is a chance, this person cannot be kept...

At this time, Barty Crouch Jr. went on to talk about what was interrupted by the previous question, "And when choosing the warriors, the Goblet of Fire was suddenly taken very seriously. I couldn't do anything like I planned. I can make sure that Krum is a warrior, so that I can do things later. I started to think of a way to get close to Neville Longbottom, if it was unobtrusive and natural, so I chose his good friend Hermione Granger Jay."

Almost immediately, there were a few obvious gasps in the room, and Ron, Hermione, and Neville looked at the man tied to the chair with shock and disgust on their faces, because they couldn't believe that someone would would be so despicable.

But Barty Crouch Jr. couldn't see their expressions now, he just kept that ugly tone and said, "Hermione Granger is a very defensive girl, I have never had a chance to get closer to them .At that time the first match was about to start, I changed Viktor Krum back, cast the Imperius Curse on him, and asked him to try his best to participate in the match. Wormtail pretended to be his father to be the referee, and Brought me a message from the master. The master told me to speed up. He had prepared everything else but the boy's blood. So I decided to do it in the second game. I went to the potion Classroom, because the Polyjuice Potion is running out, I have prepared some materials, but some of them are only available in the Potions Professor's office. And I need the Love Potion as a cover."

Pretend...

Although he had already guessed some truths, when he heard these two words suddenly, Neville's already slightly pale face suddenly turned pale.Fortunately, at this moment, no one noticed his abnormality, because everyone's attention was on Barty Crouch Jr., which gave him enough time to adjust his mutated emotions.

"But that's not enough. I need someone to help after the potion is ready. Just a few days before Valentine's Day, I found out that a girl likes Viktor Krum very much, so I took advantage of her peeping opportunity to let She picked up the love potion and the recipe for making love potion chocolate that I deliberately threw in the bushes. After I was looking for Neville Longbottom on Valentine's Day, I brought the girl who had been following me to him, pretending to After taking the love potion, it was logical to make him the rescue target of Victor Krum in the second match."

"How do you know that girl will do what you want?"

Feeling something was wrong, Sirius couldn't help asking, and his question made Barty Crouch Jr. pause before slowly saying, "Because I talked to her on purpose after I found her. I took the opportunity to give her hypnotic suggestions so that she would do what I told her to do about things that weren't important. Like making chocolates and following me on Valentine's Day."

"Hypnotic suggestion?!"

The appearance of this word made people of pure Muggle blood, such as Hermione, and some wizards such as Snape who had more in-depth contact with Muggles startled, while others looked at them with puzzled faces. . "you know?"

"It's a method used by Muggles to control other people's brains." Because Snape has studied Occlumency for a long time, and has done some research on Muggles' achievements in this area, it is easy to answer other people's questions. Doesn't seem strenuous.

Tilting his head, Lupine was curious about Snape's explanation, "Is it similar to the Imperius Curse?"

"Yes. But Muggles do it more secretly, and the person involved is generally completely unaware that they have been hypnotized. But there are very, very few Muggles who understand this technique, so..." Lupin replied lightly. Snape suddenly stared at Barty Crouch Jr., and asked in a cold voice, "Who taught you... hypnotic suggestion?"

"It's the master." This time, Barty Crouch Jr. answered without any hesitation, and even his tone was somewhat firm.

This answer made Sirius feel that today was not destined to be an ordinary day - shocking news appeared one after another, and this should be the one that made him feel the most incredible.The Dark Lord who is famous in the wizarding world for slaughtering and hating Muggles, swore to absolutely support pure blood and magic, and discarded everything about Muggles, would actually use Muggle methods, and this method is not bad Being able to teach others...

Well, the next thing this man said was that Voldemort had started attacking the Ministry of Magic, maybe he wouldn't be too surprised.

After Dumbledore digested some of the news he had just received, seeing that he could no longer get more relevant information from little Barty, he waved his hand and signaled them to continue asking the initial questions. "Come on, what were you planning to do in the second game?"

"We originally planned to take Neville Longbottom out of the water during the second match. I pretended to be my father and attended as the referee, and Wormtail stayed in the water as a support, waiting for Victor C. After Lume sends Neville Longbottom to the designated place, I can leave Hogwarts openly, and the suspicion of the boy's disappearance will be placed on Karkaroff's head. However, there were suddenly more people around the arena that day Many Aurors, Wormtail can only give up the plan to let Viktor Krum bring Neville Longbottom back. After seeing them appear, I know the plan failed, so I can only stay in Hogwarts, Prepare to implement the third plan."

"The third plan... tell me." Hearing this, Dumbledore said calmly.

"After the previous plan failed, I decided to play tricks on the Goblet of Fire, so that no matter how many Aurors were around the arena, I could take Neville Longbottom away. This time Wormtail still came to Hogwarts pretending to be his father, And as planned at dinner, he asked to send the Goblet of Fire into the arena himself. No one doubted him, and he turned the Goblet of Fire into a portkey."

When he heard the Portkey, Sirius' fists were clenched tightly, and his nails almost sank into the flesh of his palm.But he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and just listened to Barty Crouch Jr.'s words in a daze, his complexion getting worse and worse.

"I asked Krum to meet with Neville Longbottom. Neville Longbottom believed what Viktor Krum said, and they agreed on a place and time. But the person who actually went to the meeting was Me, after seeing Neville Longbottom, I stunned him and turned him into a squirrel. And I used compound potion to transform into him, and I found a chance to give the squirrel he turned into to Neville. Kdor Krum." Speaking of this, Barty Crouch Jr. once again had a perverted smile on his face, "In the end, my plan succeeded. Although there was a little accident in the middle, Neville .Longbottom has been sent to the master, I know."

"And as the greatest contributor, I will be appreciated by the master... the praise that others can only dream of..."
