Chapter 295: Dumbledore's Memory
"Forehead ......"
Hearing Ron's words, the three of them stared at him with idiot eyes, and noticed that Ron looked at him with the eyes of the three of them, and asked curiously, "Why do you look at me like this?" ā
Hermione Skin smiled and said, "Ron, why don't I use a silence spell on you?" ā
"Why?" Ron asked, surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hermione said speechlessly, "Because I'm afraid that talking to you will affect my IQ." ā
"Poof!"
"Hahaha!"
Bruce and Harry burst into tears of laughter, and Ron really couldn't feel the laughter, but he was so angry by the "inexplicable" laughter of the three that he shouted, "Enough, you're laughing at me, right?" ā
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, let's stop laughing! Hehe! Bruce wiped away his tears and said, "Don't talk about that, let's take a look at the meditation basin!" ā
So the four of them once again focused on the meditation basin, looking at the magical water in the basin, Bruce sighed, "Is this what memories look like?" ā
"Probably not. I haven't heard that memories are like water. Harry said.
Hermione laughed, "That's why we often say we've got water in our heads." ā
"Huh!"
Laughing, Ron said curiously; "How does this work?"
As she spoke, she was about to put her words in, but Hermione hurriedly stopped, "Don't move, you can't use your hands directly." I remember the book saying that you were going to use a wand. ā
Hearing Hermione's explanation, Harry hurriedly took out his wand and put it in the water, but there was no response.
"Why didn't you respond?" Harry asked.
Hermione shook her head and said; "I don't know, and it's just a brief introduction in the book."
"You see, there's changed." Bruce said hurriedly.
I saw that the original blue "water" appeared a trace of gold, like ink dripping into the clear water, and the gold gradually spread. In the incredible eyes of the four people, the golden cloud actually showed a building in the "water", and the four people lowered their heads to see what kind of building this was, but what they didn't expect was a huge suction force coming to their faces, and the strength came very suddenly, and the four of them were sucked in before they could resist.
Then there was a sense of falling, and slowly the surrounding scenery began to become clear. It's better to be vague! The four of them found a hall of people underneath them. It is about six or seven or eight stories high from the ground, and it will not survive if it falls from this height.
Bruce hurriedly took out a flying charm, but he couldn't believe that the flying charm couldn't be used. Just as Bruce was surprised, with the help of free fall, they fell to the ground roundly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ā
The four felt the solid ground, but strangely there was no pain. Just as they were curious, Bruce was surprised to find that they were sitting in the "audience" at the moment.
"I'll go, where is this?" Bruce said in surprise.
Hermione said, "This is Dumbledore's memory. ā
"Is it like Tom's notebook in second grade?" Harry asked.
Bruce shook his head and said; "I don't know, but what memory is this?"
"I know here." Ron suddenly said, "This is the council hall of the Ministry of Magic, and my dad brought me here. ā
Bruce pointed to the front row across from him and said, "Look, that's Dumbledore." ā
The three of them hurriedly looked at Dumbledore sitting in the front row opposite, and there was another acquaintance behind him, Mad-Eye Moody. In addition, there was another person they knew, Rita Skeeter, the "ace reporter" of the Daily Prophet, who did not have a shorthand quill unlike when she met her.
"Dumbledore seems to be a lot younger." Hermione said.
Bruce laughed, "You said it was in his memory, so it must have been before." But Professor Moody hasn't changed much, hehe! ā
Harry proposed, "Let's go over." ā
Bruce nodded and said, "Well, they won't see us anyway." ā
The four of them walked towards Dumbledore, and when they first came to Dumbledore, a wizard walked up, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Hello Professor! ā
Dumbledore stretched out his hand and smiled, "Hello." ā
Miraculously, the arms of the two actually passed through Bruce's chest, and Bruce looked at the arm "on the chest" and smiled: "I've become a ghost." ā
Hermione looked around and said, "It seems that this memory is important to Dumbledore, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it in the meditation basin." ā
Ron asked curiously, "I'm not interested in knowing this, I just want to get out quickly." ā
Harry laughed, "I think it's amazing. ā
At this time, Hermione said solemnly; "Hey! Do you think this memory has anything to do with Mr. Crouch's death? ā
"Possibly!" Bruce hurriedly said, "Dumbledore must be trying to find the murderer through his own memories. ā
Harry said in surprise; "But this must have been a long time ago, and Mr. Crouch was killed only today, isn't it...... Here is a Death Eater on trial. ā
Harry had finished speaking when the sound of a gavel hitting the table sounded.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was an immediate silence in the hall, and then a cylindrical cage in the center was seen rising, and a number of wands were placed around the cage, facing the man with the cloak inside.
Bruce asked, "Ron, what are those wands for?" ā
Ron said, "I've heard my dad say that. As soon as the prisoner in the cage moves, the wand will cast a death curse. But such cages are used only when interrogating very dangerous criminals. What's the deal with that guy? ā
Bruce looked at the man carefully and asked curiously, "Do you think this person is familiar?" ā
The three of them looked at each other for a while, after all, this was what happened more than ten years ago, and it was difficult to distinguish his appearance with the appearance of the man in the cage.
Just then, a voice answered Bruce's question for them.
"At your request, Igor Karkarov brought you from Azkaban to the parliament to give testimony, and if your evidence is accurate, the parliament will consider your release in court......"
The prisoner on trial turned out to be Karkaroff, the headmaster of one of the three major magic schools in Europe! At this moment, he doesn't have the momentum of the opening banquet at all, more like a beggar living on the street! And even more surprising is that the judge is Barty Kraut, who died today.
"Oh my God!" Hermione said in surprise, "That man is the headmaster of Durmstrang." And the presiding judge turned out to be Mr. Crouch! ā
Bruce sneered, "Humph! Death Eaters! ā
Harry hurriedly said, "Could it be that he killed Mr. Crouch?" ā
Ron immediately said, "It must be, he must have a grudge against Mr. Crouch that is why he decided to kill him." ā
"Probably not." Bruce said, "Although I hope you're right. But it doesn't make sense, it's supposed to be an Auror who captured him. And in view of the current situation, if he wants to release him in court, he should be even more grateful to Mr. Crouch. ā
Hermione nodded and said, "Makes sense." ā
Ron hurriedly said, "The Death Eaters must do whatever it takes, God knows what they're thinking!" ā
"Don't worry, listen to him continue." Bruce said.
By this time, Barty Krach had already told Karkaroff about the "amnesty" regulations, and Karkaroff said with a sad face: "Yes, I agree. ā
"What evidence do you have?" Barty Crouch asked.
Karkaroff said: "I have the list, sir! ā
Barty Crouch nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very well, now tell the list, and the councillors will judge the list you provided." ā
Karkarov hurriedly said: "Yes, sir! There's a guy named Ross, Evan Ross. ā
One of Barty's side immediately handed him a document, and Barty glanced at it and said dissatisfiedly, "Ross is dead!" ā
At this time, Moody behind them said coldly: "He will talk nonsense to tell right and wrong." ā
Karkaroff said timidly; "I ...... I didn't know he was dead. ā
Barty sneered, "That's the evidence you can provide?" ā
"No, no, no!" Karkaroff hurriedly said: "There is also a man named Lockwood, he is a spy. ā
Barty asked, "Augustus Lockwood of the church department?" ā
"Yes! It was him, he sent the message outside to the man. Karkarov said hurriedly.
Barty was silent for a moment and smiled: "Very good, the council will consider it, but ...... You're still going to be sent to Azkaban for now! ā
"Nope! No! Karkaroff frantically shouted: "Wait a minute, I still have ...... Snape! Severus Snape! ā
"What!?" The four were stunned.
Bruce was surprised and said, "Snape is a Death Eater?!" ā
Ron yelled, "I knew he wouldn't have been targeting Harry all the time. ā
Harry froze, he had thought of many reasons why Snape hated him, but he hadn't thought of this.
Hermione was surprised, "But why wasn't he imprisoned in Azkaban, and he was still a professor at Hogwarts, and he was still the Headmaster!" ā
Just then, Dumbledore stood up and said, "Excuse me, I think the Council should have seen the evidence I presented." Severus Snape was once a Death Eater, but he joined us before Voldemort's downfall......"
Karkarov hurriedly shouted: "He is lying! ā
But Dumbledore didn't like him at all, and continued, "Today he is no longer a Death Eater. ā
"I can swear no, he's loyal to the Dark Lord!" Karkaroff cried.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Quiet!" Barty banged on the table and shouted, "Listen to Igor Karkarov, this is not for you to judge, unless you can provide the names of other people, otherwise this court will be closed." ā
"No, no, no!" Karkarov hurriedly shouted, and then, I don't know if he was tired or for some reason, he was not excited and said in a low voice: "I still know one!" ā
"Say!" Barty said.
"He was involved in the kidnapping and tortured Frank Longbottom and his wife with a forbidden spell! ā
The four of them were stunned again, and Harry said in shock, "Neville's parents! ā
"The death penalty should be imposed immediately!" Hermione shouted angrily.
Bruce said, "Don't do that, dear! It's a memory. ā
"Bastard, these Death Eaters should all be killed!" Ron said angrily.
But then Harry seemed calm or attracted by something else, and he stared at a young man in the stands who got up and walked down, who was meticulous all over his body, but Harry seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Hearing this, Barty was also very angry, and roared, "Tell me the name of that despicable person." ā
