Chapter 380: Bertha Joggins and Aven's Plans
There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere in the corridor was somewhat subtle, filled with the rich aroma of wine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The wine Moody's drinks are very spicy and have a high degree of alcohol, and the smell alone is very uncomfortable.
"I'll keep an eye on Barty Crouch!" Moody said to Evan as he shoved the flask back, "Remember, always be vigilant and don't trust anyone. ”
He shook off his black cloak and walked in the direction of the elevator.
He bent over, his crutches falling to the ground, and the sound of the heavy impact could be heard far away.
No one moved until his back was completely gone, and Evan could be sure that Moody was watching the three of them with that crazy prosthetic eye.
Evan didn't know what he was going to do with Barty Crouch, but he hoped it would serve as a reminder not to be easily knocked out and locked up by Barty Crouch Jr.
"He's always been crazy like this, and I hope I don't do anything stupid!" Mr. Weasley sighed and explained to Aven, "He's Mad-Eyed Moody, the best Auror the Ministry of Magic has ever seen, and he's a great master at catching dark wizards. ”
"In the same way, he is very suspicious and never trusts others. Sirius lowered his voice and said, "But he himself can be trusted, he is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and he didn't hear those words just now, otherwise we would have to use the Oblivion Charm!"
"Since his retirement, his suspicions have grown, he is wary of everyone, always suspicious of someone attacking him, and even using spells on Muggles, and our department has had to follow him to solve problems. Mr. Weasley said.
"He can't be blamed for this, he captured a lot of dark wizards when he was an Auror, and half of Azkaban's prisoners were captured by him, and he offended a lot of people. Sirius said, "Those people wanted him dead, and he had to be cautious." ”
"yes, yes, you can't go wrong with a little care, but we really shouldn't have unfounded suspicions......" Mr. Weasley glanced at Evan pointedly, and said uneasily, "Alright, we've been standing long enough, let's go in and have a cup of tea." ”
No one mentioned Barty Crouch, as if nothing had happened.
They walked through the narrow hallway, turned a corner, and passed through two heavy oak gates.
Enter an open area that is messy and noisy, divided into many cubicles.
There was a lot of talk and laughter inside, and it was very lively.
The note carrying the message flew in and out of the cubicle, like a miniature rocket.
"This is the office of the Wizengamot Governing Board. Mr. Weasley said, stopping from time to time to say hello to the others and introduce Sirius and Aven.
Along a small cubicle, they passed through a second oak gate.
The three men walked into another hallway, then turned left to the left and came to another hallway, and then turned right into a dimly lit, dilapidated hallway.
Finally, I came to the end of the hallway, and I couldn't go any further.
There was a door on the left that was slightly open to reveal a broomroom inside, and a faded brass sign on the door on the right: No Abuse of Muggle Objects.
Mr. Weasley's office was dim and shabby, and seemed to be slightly smaller than a broomroom.
Two tables were crammed inside, and around the wall were a line of filing cabinets that were about to overflow.
There were still bags of crumbling papers piled on top of the cabinet, and there was simply no place for people to move their hands and feet next to the table.
From the little space available on the wall, Mr. Weasley had a soft spot for things: several car advertisements, one of which depicted a disassembled engine, two illustrations of letterboxes, apparently cut out of Muggle children's books, and a diagram of how to install a socket.
Mr. Weasley's basket was full, and at the top was an elderly toaster, belching sullenly.
In addition, there are two empty leather gloves that are fiddling with two thumbs.
Next to the basket are several family photos of the Weasleys, one of which they took in Egypt last year and that Ron had shown to everyone. However, Peter Pettigrew's rat has disappeared from it, and must have been erased by magic.
"There are no windows here. Mr. Weasley said apologetically, "We asked for it, but they didn't seem to think we needed it." Sit down, and I'll get you some water. ”
Evan and Sirius barely squeezed into the two chairs next to their desks, and it was clear from the office environment that Mr. Weasley's department was not taken seriously.
"You can write to your parents here, and I'll find an owl to mail it for you. Mr. Weasley came over with two cups of tea.
He took out a few blank pieces of parchment from the blue and handed them to Evan, and a few report-style pieces of paper fell out.
Evan reads: The reported incident of toilet sewage backflow at Wimbledon, after investigation, is ......
"Toilet sewage backflow?"
"The anti-Muggle pranksters did it," said Mr. Weasley, frowning, "this is the first time it has happened, and it's of a very bad nature. Muggles flush the toilet, but the dirt doesn't just disappear, but it ...... Hey, imagine for yourself. Poor people keep calling pipe people, I guess that's what they say, you know, the people who fix pipes and stuff like that. ”
"Plumber?"
"Yes, that's it, but of course, there's nothing they can do. I only hope we catch the people who do it. ”
"Won't the Aurors go and arrest them?"
"Oh, no, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be dispatched by the Aurors, and ordinary magical law enforcement scouts can deal with it. ”
"This report is about Bertha Jorkins, and what did she do?!" Sirius said with interest, picking up a report, "The cactus she bought back from the Muggle shop was growing wildly and growing huge mouths, and there were two Muggle witnesses ......"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Aven's mind, isn't Bertha Jorkins the woman from Barty Crouch's department?!
She discovers the truth of the whole incident in the original book, and is used by Crouch with the Oblivion Charm.
Then, she hastily went on vacation in the forests of Albania.
At the busiest time of the Ministry of Magic, he disappeared for several months and was actually captured by Voldemort.
Voldemort cracked Crouch's Oblivion Curse and learned a lot from her, including the news that his most loyal servant, Barty Crouch Jr., was still alive, rescued him, and then plotted a series of plots on the Goblet of Fire, and successfully returned.
As long as you find her, you can prove in advance that what you said is true.
When the time comes, they will have enough evidence to reveal Barty Crouch's true face to the world and recapture Barty Crouch Jr.
Evan thought excitedly, thinking that this was an opportunity.
After failing to convince Sirius and Mr. Weasley, Evan had been thinking about it.
He looked at the circular snake ring on his wrist, unsure if he was chosen by Voldemort.
Believe it or not, he was determined to take a more proactive approach to stop Voldemort just in case.
Ai Wen has a new idea, why he must follow the original book, after the appearance of the secret treasure of the Big Four and the terrifying evil god, this world has long been unrecognizable, perhaps because of the reason he crossed over, a greater evil is approaching.
Before that, he had to find a way to deal with Voldemort.
He knew the location of all the Horcruxes, and could destroy them one after the other if time was sufficient.
Try to delay Voldemort's return as long as possible, and when all the Horcruxes are destroyed, he has nothing to fear.
At that time, it will not be as the prophecy said, with his own help, to obtain unimaginable power for ordinary people.
Evan planned so, but was it really going to go as smoothly as he thought?!(To be continued.) )
