Chapter 710: Aftermath
There was a brief silence in the office, and everyone was immersed in sadness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, everyone noticed that Harry's arm was still bleeding, and Sirius hurried over to help him with the wound under his robes.
At the same time, Evan also found a robe of his own school uniform and put it on, and took off Gabrielle's torn robe.
"I don't understand, why did Voldemort have to use Harry's blood?" Sirius asked, looking at Harry's wounds.
He said that using my blood would work better than other people's blood and would make him stronger. Harry said, holding out his arm for Sirius to bandage himself, "He said that kind of protective power, the kind of power that my mother left in my body, he wanted to have too." He was right, and when he touched me again, he wouldn't have been hurt, and after the resurrection, he touched my face......"
For a split second, Harry seemed to see a glint of joy in Dumbledore's eyes.
But Harry quickly decided that he was dazzled, as Dumbledore immediately looked as old and tired as before.
"Voldemort has overcome that unusual obstacle!" Dumbledore said, turning his gaze to Barty Crouch Jr. in his chair, "It's an indisputable fact that he's back, and now the question is what we should do...... While we already know most of the truth, there are some details that still need to be clarified. Severus, please go get your most powerful elixir, and go to the kitchen to get a house-elf named Twinkle. ”
Snape nodded, and immediately turned to leave.
"By the way, what happened after we left the school?" Evan asked, "Krum seems to have been under the Imperius Curse, is he okay?"
"He's fine, he's being treated in the hospital right now!After the three of you were taken away by the portkey, the merfolk rushed up to report that I was right next to this madman!" Sirius said, pointing to Barty Crouch Jr., "I was going to catch him as planned, and we fought, and Fudge seemed frightened and went to the school hospital." Then, we took him back to the castle, and he changed back to his original appearance on the way, and Dumbledore said you two are here......"
Sirius recounted what had happened since they left, and the big scene of his fight with Barty Crouch Jr., coupled with the fact that a large number of merfolk had come out to warn them, and the sudden turn of events shocked everyone present and caused chaos.
Until now, there was still a mess outside the castle, and the professors were trying to maintain order and get the students back to their common rooms.
Fortunately, apart from the fact that Cedric is still missing, there have been no casualties, which is a blessing in misfortune.
The only one who was seriously injured was probably Ron, who was tortured by Krum with the Diamond Curse. Then, under the Unconscious Spell, he fell into the aquatic plants full of Grindillo, which presumably took him as food and took a few bites......
Fortunately, Myrtle, who was crying at the time, was nearby, and she went to inform the others, and the merfolk nearby saved him.
"Barty Crouch Jr. is pretending to be Moody, so where is the real Moody?" asked Harry.
"If nothing else, it should be in this room, and they need to keep him alive, take him with them, and take some of his body to make the polyjuice potion at any time. Dumbledore said, pulling out the keys from Barty Crouch Jr.
He took the key and walked straight to the box with seven locks in the corner, and inserted the first key into the keyhole.
Dumbledore opened the chest, and inside was a pile of spell books.
He closed the box, inserted the second key into the second lock, and opened it again, and instead of spell books, it contained various broken speculums, some parchment and quills, and a silver cloak of invisibility.
"It's the seventh, Professor!" Evan reminded, knowing what he was going to do.
Dumbledore slipped the seventh key into the lock and lifted the lid of the box, and Harry and Sirius screamed at the same time.
Underneath the chest is a large pit, like a basement.
About three meters deep lay on the floor a man, skinny as wood, as if asleep, he was the real mad-eye Moody.
His wooden legs were gone, the eyelids of the MONOCULUS were empty, and the gray hair was missing a few pinches.
Dumbledore climbed into the box and landed gently beside the sleeping Moody, leaning over to look at him.
"He fainted, was under the Imperius Curse, and was very weak. He said, "But it's okay, it's not life-threatening, and if you leave him in the care of Madame Pomponfrey for a while, he'll get better." ”
Dumbledore and Sirius lifted Moody up and laid him down on the couch by the fire.
Just then, hurried footsteps rang out in the hallway, and Snape returned, with a scruffy flash.
Twinkle poked her head out of Snape's feet and saw Barty Crouch Jr. tied to a chair.
She opened her mouth wide and let out a piercing scream.
"Young Master Barty, Master Barty, what are you doing here?" she screamed and pounced, "You killed him! You killed him!
"We just subdued him, Twinkle. Dumbledore said, "Get out of the way, Severus, have you got the potion?"
Snape handed Dumbledore a vial of clear liquid, a powerful elixir he had brewed.
Dumbledore opened Barty Crouch Jr.'s mouth and poured three drops of potion into it.
Twilight was still on her knees, her hands over her face, trembling and looking at them in horror.
A few seconds later, Barty Crouch Jr. opened his eyes, his gaze blank and his cheeks flabby.
Dumbledore crouched in front of him, face to face.
"Can you hear me?" asked Dumbledore calmly.
"I can hear you. He whispered, his eyelids twitching a few times.
"Very well, the Truth Elixir has worked, we better start with the simple questions first!" Dumbledore said softly, "I want you to tell us how you ended up here, how did you escape from Azkaban?"
Little Crouch took a deep breath with a shudder, and spoke in an emotionless, flat tone.
"My mother saved me, and she knew she was going to die, and begged my father to get me out, to do one last thing for her. My father loved her very much, even though he never loved me. He agreed, and they came to see me and gave me a dose of polyjuice decoction with my mother's hair in it. My mother drank a polyjuice decoction with my hair on it, and we exchanged looks. ”
Twinkle shook her head, trembling all over.
"Don't say it, Master Barty, don't say it, you're going to get your father in trouble!"
But little Crouch took another deep breath and continued to speak in a flat voice.
"Dementors are blind, they can't see. They smell a healthy man and a dying man walking into Azkaban, and a healthy man and a dying man leaving Azkaban. My father smuggled me out. I pretended to be my mother, in case a prisoner could see through the crack in the door. My mother died not long after she was in Azkaban, and she never forgot to drink the Polyjuice Decoction, and when she died, she was still me, and she was buried as me, and everyone thought it was me. ”
