Chapter 678: The Trial of Karkarov
Shortly after Evan and Harry entered, they heard footsteps. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The door in the corner of the dungeon opened, and three people walked in.
More precisely, at least one of them was a human, held hostage by two Dementors.
The cold, piercing sensation of the Dementors is so real that one can't help but forget that it's only in memory.
Unpleasant thoughts echoed through Aven's mind, and he saw Harry, equally pale, looking at the Dementors in horror.
In fact, under the influence of the Dementors, the people around them seemed a little timid.
The two Dementors, two tall monsters with hooded faces slowly walked towards the armchair in the center of the room, their rotting dead hands clutching the arm of the man in the middle, who looked like he was about to faint!
They put him in a chair with chains and walked slowly out of the room, the door shut.
The chains on the armrests of the chair suddenly glowed golden, and then wrapped around his arm like a snake, tying him there.
The man looked up in panic, and Evan recognized it as Karkaroff.
Unlike Dumbledore, who had full silver hair, Karkaroff looked much younger than he was now, with black hair and beard.
Instead of a smooth fur coat, he wore a thin, torn robe, shivering incessantly.
"Is this the picture of Karkaroff's trial?!" Evan stared at the young Karkaroff in his chair with interest.
He was more interested in how many Death Eaters he had betrayed to get free.
"Igor Karkaroff!" said Mr. Crouch, who was sitting in the middle of the room, to his feet.
His hair was also black, his face was much less wrinkled than it is now, and he looked energetic.
This should be Crouch's best years, Voldemort failed to escape, and his tough attitude towards the Dark Wizard helped him win hearts and minds in the war that had just ended, everything was going in a good direction, and the position of Minister of Magic beckoned to him......
Who would have thought that in just a few months, everything would turn around.
"Karkaroff, you were taken out of Azkaban to testify to the Ministry of Magic. Crouch said solemnly, waving his hand, "You told us that you have important information to report to us." ”
Karkarov straightened his body as much as he could, and he was tightly tied to the chair.
"Yes, sir!" the familiar slick tone could be heard in his voice, despite the fear in his voice, "I am willing to serve the Ministry of Magic, I know that the Ministry of Magic is searching for the remnants of the Dark Lord, and I am willing to do everything in my power to assist you......"
Dumbledore did not react to this statement, and his face was expressionless.
Mad-Eyed Moody, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes tightly with intense disgust.
Of course, his appearance was different from now.
At this time, he didn't have a magic eye, only a pair of ordinary eyes, and he didn't have so many scars on his face.
"Hmph, Crouch is going to let him go!" Moody whispered to Dumbledore, "he made a deal with him, and it took me six months to catch him, but now Crouch will let him go if he can provide the names of many others." If you want me to say, let's hear his intel before throwing him back into the Dementors. ”
Dumbledore let out a disapproving sound from his long, hooked nose.
"Ah, I forgot, you don't like Dementors, do you, Albus?" Moody asked with a sarcastic smile.
"Yes!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I don't like it, I've always felt that the Ministry of Magic was wrong to get involved with these monsters, and that sooner or later we would suffer a loss, let those monsters guard the Dark Wizards." Besides, it's inhumane, even if it's ......"
"They deserve it most, scum like this...... Moody said disgustedly, "this guy's family is said to be very powerful in the Nordic region, and seems to be in collusion with the local vampires, dark wizards and pure dark creatures!"
"What's been going on with those vampires lately?" Dumbledore asked softly.
"No, after the man disappeared, they had recently fallen completely silent, and when I captured Karkaroff, there was no hindrance......!
Evan leaned closer, trying to hear what he was saying.
However, Moody was quick to finish, and Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged, just nodding.
The trial resumed, and Crouch began to ask questions.
"Karkaroff, you say you know the names of some people!" he snapped, "please tell us about it." ”
"Okay, but you have to know. Karkaroff hurriedly, "That mysterious man has always been very secretive, and he wants us, I mean his henchmen, and I deeply regret that I have been in the company of them......"
"Less nonsense. Moody said sarcastically, raising his voice.
"We never knew the names of all our accomplices, only he knew who we we......"
"That's wise, isn't it, to prevent people like you from betraying them all. Moody muttered.
"Didn't you say you knew the names of some people?" said Mr. Crouch in a cold voice.
"I, yes," Karkaroff said breathlessly, "mind you, they're all very important followers. I have seen them do what he commands, and I have given this information to prove that I have broken with him once and for all, and that I have repented....."
"Name them?!" said Mr. Crouch.
Karkaroff took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"There's Antonin Dolokhov. I've seen him torture countless Muggles and people who don't support the Dark Lord. ”
"You did it for him, too!" muttered Moody.
"We've arrested Dolokhov!" Crouch said, "shortly after your arrest." ”
"Really?!" Karkaroff's eyes widened, "I—I'm happy!"
But he didn't look happy, and the news was a big blow to him.
Because one of the names in his hand was useless, and he had fewer chips.
"Anything else?" Crouch asked coldly.
"Ah, and, and Rozier!" said Karkaroff hurriedly, "Evan Rozier." ”
"Rozier is dead," Crouch said, "and he was caught shortly after you, and he was killed in the struggle. ”
"And took a little of my stuff with them. Moody whispered.
Evan and Harry turned to look at him, and he was pointing to the missing part of his nose to show Dumbledore.
