Ravenclaw's Sapphire

They were just about to help Crouch up, a crutch was poked in the dirt, followed by a light sound of feet on the ground, Dumbledore looked over there vigilantly. "Alastor?" Moody limped over, his fake eyes turned around, he walked a little hurriedly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. "What's wrong? Albus, I bumped into Snape at the door just now..." He stopped talking, squinting at Crouch who was giggling.

"We're going to take him to the infirmary first. As far as I can see, Barty's brain has been tampered with." Dumbledore said.Moody walked over in silence, observed carefully and asked in a rough voice, "Did he explain anything? Look at this old guy in tatters, as if he just escaped from the den of wild animals..."

"Just let's go find Dumbledore, and he's been crazy and silly since then," Zoe said. "Let's go, Zoe, Alastor." Dumbledore and Krum put Crouch together.Zooey responded and wanted to follow. Moody seemed to be thinking about something, his brows were tightly frowned, and he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"Everything is fine as usual, don't make mistakes next time." Zoe whispered as she passed by Moody, and then chased after Dumbledore and the others who had hurriedly left.Moody wiped the sweat off his brow with his hand and sighed.He just left the office for less than 10 minutes, and when he came back, he saw an interesting name lit up on the Marauder's Map he borrowed from Potter, which was told by his master before. He wanted the name of the escapee he had caught.

When he ran to the scene, he found that the situation was out of his control, and Crouch was about to be protected. The only consolation was that he was unlikely to say something he shouldn't have said before the plan was implemented.

"Unfortunately." Madam Pomfrey withdrew her wand and shook her head solemnly. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find a cure."

"Why did Barty suddenly... lose his mind?" Dumbledore asked, and Crouch beside him looked at everything around him with bright eyes, and projected amazing interest in Madam Pomfrey's wand, and also Trying to grab the tip of her staff, she completely turned into a child who didn't know the world.

"I think he was cast with a very powerful Confusion Charm... and Oblivion Charm, and maybe some other stuff, the caster was of a high level, and the guy didn't destroy his mind, but reversed it, even if It's Veritaserum or Legilimency, I don't think it will have a good effect." Madam Pomfrey said, "He has completely believed that he is a child now, how much his past memories can be retrieved, I don't know. Not sure either."

"To achieve this effect in such a short period of time?" Dumbledore asked softly. "Principal, I think very few people can do this under many restrictions." Snape's eyes flickered with a cold light.

"He's avoiding something, isn't he?" Moody asked Zooey and Krum rudely, "You did hear those words from him?" The two nodded, and Moody walked to Crouch In front of him, Crouch was startled, and he couldn't help shrinking himself under the quilt-Moody's face always frightened people who saw it for the first time.

"He's being chased by something, must be a dark wizard or something dangerous...Albus, I think the culprits must be the same people who are chasing him, they have messed with his Get bad news for them."

"Obviously so," said Dumbledore, "how could that mysterious man—or a group of mysterious men, destroy Barty's brain under the witness of a witness?" After hearing this, Moody He scratched his head in confusion, but his tone was still sharp. "Remoting, hinting, hiding in dark corners, it's all possible, these dregs are everywhere like bedbugs..."

Dumbledore didn't keep chasing the answer to the question, his two eyebrows were about to come together, and he looked deeply into the distance through the window. "There's nothing else to say?" Zoe bit her lip. "No, there's actually something worth noting. He said Pertha's name and said that the Dark Lord had become stronger."

As soon as this name appeared, the atmosphere in the infirmary froze.Dumbledore stood up: "Bobby, can I ask you to help us inform the people at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and ask them to allow Batty to be admitted to the hospital? Maybe with their careful care, Batty can still recover. I will meet with the minister later and tell him what happened tonight, and it is time for them to take it seriously."

Madam Pomfrey nodded, and went to do what she should do.Dumbledore thanked Krum and let him go. "Please also go and explain to Karkaroff, and always pay attention to safety. I will talk to Mrs. Maxim." Krum agreed disapprovingly, and when his back completely left the infirmary, Dumbledore He looked at Snape again. "Severus, can you count the security work for the third game? And of course you, Alastor, we need more experienced wizards." Both of them quickly agreed.

Zoe left with Dumbledore.The corridor is silent, only the slight footsteps of two people, the moon has risen, and the cold light comes in through the window.The girl looked at these familiar scenes calmly. No matter how many years have passed, the knight armor in the corner still has an old atmosphere, even though they have cleaned them inside and out because of the arrival of the Triwizard Tournament Go through it again.

"Zoe, is there anything else you want to ask me?" Dumbledore slowed down and asked.

"As for the suspicious thing that happened tonight, who does Dumbledore think did it?"

"Undoubtedly, Voldemort and his minions. Except for a few selected candidates, I don't think anyone can perform such a precise operation in such a short time. Bobby just thinks it belongs to the Confusion Curse and the Oblivion Curse The combination, but in fact it is not, the people who do this are very experienced." Dumbledore said lightly.

"experience?"

"Legiliency... To be precise, this prisoner is very familiar with the human brain, and knows how to do it the fastest and with the best results, just like when you open a can of peanut butter, an experienced person can always achieve the goal easily .I just happen to know a guy or two that you know too who can pry open other people's brains like a peanut butter can."

"One of them must be Voldemort." Dumbledore nodded. "That's right, one of them, the best of them all, is Voldemort. Of course, if Severus studies it, he can do it, but it will take a little more time."

"There is one more person, Max Siegel, as long as she wants." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, and the girl shrugged. "I'm not surprised at all, you mean her hand?" But what she faced was a wand tightly held in an old hand.

"I mean, it was you who did it, Max." Dumbledore stopped laughing at all, "Calm down, Professor Dumbledore." The girl raised her hands exaggeratedly, "You must have heard of wand explosions Accident, right? I mean the bridge of this nose is still pretty nice, and you can't expect someone else to have the same nose just because you have it."

"I'm not trying to joke with you right now, Max," said Dumbledore. "You've gone too far."

"I didn't kill him, the source of information is still there, you can continue to interrogate him." The girl laughed and said, "Although you said that there is no way to extract information from Mr. Crouch's mouth, it is only because You haven't done enough, three drops of Veritaserum are not enough, you can use a bucket, and Legilimency... Sorry, I forgot that you don't like to use this trick on others, even if the situation is critical."

"Do you know how Pertha spit out that information? You can even use the Cruciatus Curse on Mr. Crouch. If you are not bad luck, you can break the hint and wake him up before he hits the wall and kills himself... Tom is So from Pertha—" cried Dumbledore. "Shut up! Do you dare to say another word to Pertha?" Even though he restrained himself, his eyes were still full of anger.

"You are a well-deserved educator and a good man. So whether it is the fact that past students have been tortured and died tragically, or a demented and insane Ministry of Magic official, you are unwilling to hurt them again-maybe So?" The girl smiled and said, "But even a sage who drinks from the fountain of wisdom has selfish intentions, doesn't he? As long as you are willing, even at the risk of losing your soul, you must do it. Trembling? You don't dare to touch me...don't dare to lay hands on this girl?" The girl took out her wand and pointed it at Dumbledore's face accurately, "Even if I point my wand at you, you will be let down in the next second." Die here?"
