Chapter 11: Suspects?

"Arms, be careful. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info"The brown short-bearded wizard is named Arms Digri, and it seems that he is still very popular. At least most of the wizards who showed up at the scene were reminding him.

Hold your chest up and raise your wand. Arms Diggre and a few other wizards walked into the bushes. A few seconds later, shouts were heard from the woods. "Yes, we got them, there's someone here! ”

"Who did you catch?" Barty Crouch also shouted, not seeming to believe the news from Arms Digry.

With broken branches and the sound of messy footsteps, Arms Digri led the man out of the bushes, clutching a thin, limp object.

When Arms placed the skinny thing on the ground in front of everyone, the surrounding people gathered around. When Barty Crouch realized that the skinny thing was his house-elf, he spun around a few times and then jerked into the jungle.

"No, Mr. Crouch. "There's no one else there." ”

Not paying attention to Mr. Crouch, who seemed to be looking for something as if he was rummaging through the trees, Arms Digri whispered in the crowd, "It's embarrassing," and pointed with his wand at Winter, who was lying on the ground, "Mr. Crouch's house-elf, I mean ......."

"She can't make it, Arms. Arthur Weasley whispered, "That sign is a wizard's sign, you know, it takes a wand to release it." ”

"Yes, it has a wand. Holly squeezed out of the crowd and looked carefully at the fainted house-elf, pointing his wand at the wand that was firmly in its hand.

"What?" said Arthur Weasley, surprised.

"Look. "This thing is against the rules of magic in its hands, and any creature other than a wizard can have a wand. ”

Not long after, Barty Crouch returned from the bushes in a daze, and almost bumped into Luther Bagmund, who had also just arrived.

"Mr. Crouch, if you're all right, I think we should hear your elves' own defense. ”

Barty Crouch didn't respond, but everyone took his silence as acquiescence.

After waking Winch up, no matter how much everyone asked, they could only hear the elf keep saying that it had done nothing.

When Arms Diggre pointed out the wand in Winch's hand, Harry Potter suddenly jumped out.

"That wand is mine. Harry Potter said.

Everyone instantly repositioned their positions, once again encircling Harry Potter and Winch in the middle, with all their wands pointed at them.

"That's my wand, I lost it. ”

"You lost it?" asked Arms Digry incredulously, "is this a confession? You conjure up the marker and toss it aside. ”

"Ames, who are you talking to?" said Arthur Weasley angrily, "Could Harry Potter conjure up the Dark Mark?"

"Uh...... Of course not. Arms muttered, "I'm sorry, I lost my words. ”

"But...... I wonder if Mr. Weasley should keep his distance for a while?" said Erinka at this point. "Although Mr. Harry Potter is not from the Weasleys, since Mr. Harry Potter seems to have been living at Mr. Weasley's house recently, and last weekend, Mr. Weasley secretly connected the fireplace of a Muggle family to our Floo network system, and that Muggle family is also Harry Potter's aunt and uncle's house, I think ...... Shouldn't Mr. Weasley keep his distance for a moment and stop interfering with Harry Potter's inquiries?"

"Uh-huh, Arthur?" At this point, the rest of the wizards also reacted, and it wasn't necessarily a good thing to let Arthur Weasley stay here. At least Arthur Weasley's words just now could easily lead people away from their previous train of thought.

"Uh...... Yes. ”

"So...... Arthur, go and stand by with your son. I think we do need to talk to Mr. Harry Potter alone. Luther Bagmund came out at this time and said, "Don't be resentful, Arthur, you know, the matter of the Dark Mark is too big, and everyone needs to be careful. ”

"Well, Miss Granger, stay for a moment. Erinka continued, "You can believe that a wizard of Muggle descent will never have access to the Dark Magic emblem. This can also make Mr. Weasley a little more relaxed, after all, there are so many of us, it is easy to give people the feeling of bullying the small around a little Hogwarts wizard, and it is better to leave one person to look at it in general. ”

"Pure Muggle origins? Well, it's really impossible to have access to the Dark Magic, so be it. One of the wizards said, and the rest nodded in agreement.

After a small episode, Harry Potter continued to defend himself, "I didn't throw it there anyway," he said, pointing to the bushes, "I lost my wand as soon as I entered the woods." ”

"So," Arms Digley looked at Harry Potter and turned his head back to Winch, his eyes sharpening, "you found this wand, didn't you? Elf, you picked it up and thought you should have some fun with it, right?"

"I didn't use it for magic, sir. "I just picked it up, I didn't change the Dark Mark, sir!" ”

"Not her. Hermione stood up and said to the wizards around her, even if there was her master in this group of wizards, she could do what she wanted without giving an order. "Winch only has a slight voice, and the voice we hear of the incantation is muffled, it definitely wasn't Winch's doing, right?" she turned her eyes to Harry Potter for help.

"Yes," Harry Potter said, shaking his head, "it's certainly not an elven voice. ”

"Really?" but we'll soon find out that Arms Diggre was holding his wand to Harry Potter's wand. β€œPriorIncantato!”

A large skull with a serpentine tongue emerged from the tip of Harry Potter's wand, much smaller than the one in the sky, but still the same.

β€œDeletrius!” Arms Diggre said again, and the smoke cleared.

"So......" said Arms Digri. "The evidence is overwhelming. ”

"I didn't do it, it wasn't me, I didn't understand, I didn't know how to use a wand, I didn't understand. In the crowd, Winch shivered.

"Arms, you should think about where it learned it, don't you think I often teach my servants how to conjure the Dark Mark?" Barty Crouch said coldly.

The atmosphere instantly cooled down.

"Arms, are you going to charge me or Harry Potter?" Barty Crouch began to be a little aggressive.

"Hermione, let's go and wait with Harry at Mr. Weasley's. Holly stepped forward and whispered.

"Yes. Hermione pulled Harry Potter, who had not yet recovered from the instantaneous change, and quickly distanced himself from the crowd.

"Arms," Barty Crouch said, "I know very well that under normal circumstances, you would bring Winch to your department for interrogation. This time, though, I want you to let me handle it myself. ”

"......" The crowd was silent for a while.

"Arms, if I think I can, return the wand to Harry Potter first. An older witch stepped forward and said. "I don't know what happened, but I think the suspicion of Harry Potter can still be ruled out. ”

"Good. After a moment of silence, Arms Diggre handed the Harry Potter wand to the others, asking them to help hand it over to the Weasleys, Harry Potter and the others who were still waiting not far away.

Watching Harry Potter get his wand and leave with the Weasleys before all the wizards present turned their attention back.

"Barty, why are you doing this? Ames is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and even if he does bring the elf back, it will not affect you. "Someone came forward and tried to play the round.

"No, Ames, give the elf to Barty. After thinking about it, Erinka stepped forward and stepped in.

"Huh?" Ams Diggre was still a little curious about the identities of Holly and Erinka.

"Listen to her. Arms, having a problem won't hold you responsible. Luther Bagmund stepped forward to endorse Erinka at this moment.

"Okay. I believe that Mr. Crouch will not make any mistakes that he should not have made. In the end, Arms Digri gave up on the confrontation with Crouch.

"Well, if anything happens, I'll keep the Ministry of Magic informed. Barty Crouch nodded.

Seeing that the matter was over, everyone also left. It's getting late, and no one wants to continue to entangle with a senior minister of the Ministry of Magic about this kind of thing here, not to mention, something like this has happened, and during the day, everyone else is busy.
