Chapter 679: Heavyweight Judgment

"This ...... Rozier deserves it!" Karkaroff's tone was really starting to panic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Clearly, he was beginning to worry that his information would be useless to the Ministry of Magic.

Karkaroff glanced at the door in the corner, where the two Dementors were undoubtedly standing waiting.

Immediately afterward, he said several more names, which were still vetoed by Crouch one by one.

Saying that it is a trial, it is more like a process of bargaining.

Karkaroff was cunning indeed, but Crouch was clearly more of a problem and could ask him everything he knew.

"Anything else?" Crouch asked with a blank face.

"Wait, there's Travers!" Karkaroff said in a panic, "he helped murder the Mackinnons!, and Murseber, who specializes in the Imperius Curse and forces many people to do horrible things!Lukewood, he's a spy who provides useful information to mysteries from within the Ministry of Magic!"

As he said Lukewood's name, there was a whisper all around.

"Lukewood!" Mr. Crouch nodded to one of the witches sitting in front of him, and she wrote on the parchment, "August Lukewood of the Department of Mysteries?!"

"That's him!" Karkaroff said eagerly, "I believe he used a group of wizards embedded inside and outside the Ministry of Magic to gather information for him, and Lukewood's position is important, and he has access to the Department of Occult Affairs......"

"Well, what you said about Travers and Murseber is what we already know. "Karkaroff, if that's all, you'll be sent back to Azkaban until we decide ......."

"Don't!" Karkaroff cried out in despair, "Wait a minute, I still have it!"

Harry could see him bubbling in the light of the torches, his pale skin contrasting with his jet-black beard.

"Snape!" he exclaimed, "Severus Snape!"

"Snape has been acquitted by this committee!" said Crouch contemptuously, "Albus Dumbledore vouched for him. ”

"No!" shouted Karkaroff, struggling to break free from the chains that bound him to his chair, "I assure you, Severus Snape is a Death Eater, a Death Eater through and through!"

Dumbledore stood up, and many people looked at him.

"I have already testified about this!" he said calmly, "Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater, but he went to our side before Voldemort's fall, and risked great danger to spy for us. He's no longer a Death Eater, just like you and me. ”

"No!" Karkarov said unwillingly, "he has no ......"

Speaking of which, Snape's identity as a double agent was indeed successful.

Both Dumbledore and Voldemort considered him their own, and even the Death Eaters believed in him, and continued to do so until Voldemort's return.

For this, even Evan has to admire, except for Snape, I'm afraid no one can do it.

"Alright, Karkaroff!" Crouch said coldly, "you have assisted us in our work, I will re-examine your case, you go back to Azkaban first......"

"Snape is ......" Before Harry could say anything, Crouch's voice was gone.

The dungeon is dissipating like smoke, and everything is fading away.

The two of them could only see each other, their bodies - everything else turned into a swirling darkness......

Then, the dungeon appeared again!

They sat in another seat, still the highest bench, to the left of Mr. Crouch.

The atmosphere seemed very different from the previous one: very relaxed, even pleasant.

The wizards on all sides were talking to each other as if they were watching a sports game.

Evan noticed a witch in the middle row opposite, with short blond hair, a magenta robe, and sucking the tip of a glaring green quill pen, no doubt a younger Rita Skeeter.

His gaze swept over several people, Dumbledore was the same as before, and Moody was nowhere to be seen.

Mr. Crouch looked tired, a little fierce, a little haggard......

The corner door opened, and Ludo Bagman entered.

This is not the aging Ludo Bagman, but the Quidditch star Ludo Bagman in his prime.

The bridge of his nose has not yet been broken, and his body is tall and thin, and he has a strong physique.

Bagman looked nervous as he sat in the chained chair, but the chains didn't tie him up. This may have lifted Bagman's spirits, and he glanced at the four-seat audience, waved at a few people, and smiled.

"Ludo Bagman, you have been brought before the Magical Law Committee to answer the charges against your Death Eater activities. "We have heard your testimony and are about to deliver our verdict, do you have anything to say before the verdict is pronounced?"

"Just one sentence!" Ludo Bagman smiled unnaturally, "Well, I know I'm a fool......"

One or two wizards in the surrounding seats smiled tolerantly and nodded.

Mr. Crouch was unmoved, and he looked at Ludo Bagman condescendingly, with a look of seriousness and disgust.

"Bagman was once a Death Eater?" Harry asked in a low voice, surprise in his voice.

"No, as he himself said, he's a fool!" replied Aven.

"Ludo Bagman, you were caught while delivering information to Voldemort's henchmen!" said Mr. Crouch, "and for this I recommend that you be sentenced to at least ...... imprisonment in Azkaban."

But the four of them shouted angrily, and several wizards stood up and shook their heads at Mr. Crouch, even waving their fists.

"Barty, I told you, I didn't know!" Bagman shouted eagerly in a heckle with wide blue eyes, "I didn't know, Lukewood was my father's friend! I never thought he was under a mysterious man, I thought I was gathering information for our people! Lukewood kept saying that he wanted to get me a job at the Ministry of Magic, and when I retired from the Quidditch team, you know, I can't be chased by Bludgers for the rest of my life, can I?"

There was another whisper, and there was laughter from the audience.

"Let's vote. Mr. Crouch said coldly, "Please note to the jury, the show of hands that agrees with the sentence of imprisonment ......"

Not a single person raised their hands, many wizards even began to applaud, and one of the witches on the jury stood up.

"What's going on?!" Crouch yelled.

"We would like to congratulate Mr Bagman on his outstanding performance in the Quidditch match against Turkey last Saturday, bringing glory to the British team. The witch said excitedly, "This is our honor!"

Mr. Crouch looked furious, the dungeon erupted in applause, and Bagman stood up and bowed and smiled.

"Bastard!" Mr. Crouch sat down as Bagman walked out of the dungeon, and said to Dumbledore in a huff, "Lukewood has really got him a job, and the day Ludo Bagman comes to work will be a bad day for the Ministry of Magic......"

Immediately afterward, the dungeon disappeared again.

When it reappeared, Aven, Harry, and Dumbledore were still sitting next to Mr. Crouch, unchanged in position.

But the atmosphere was very different, and the room was silent, except for the sobbing of a weak witch beside Mr. Crouch, who clutched a handkerchief to her mouth with trembling hands.

Evan suddenly came to his senses, he knew that this was the trial of Barty Crouch Jr., and the moment of truth had come!

He remembered that Sirius and Barty Crouch Jr. were sentenced on the same day.

Of course, Sirius was not tried at the time and was imprisoned in Azkaban.

However, he must be here now!
