Chapter 294: Barty Crouch is dead

The three men who walked behind noticed the situation of the two of them, and Hagrid walked over and asked with a smile; "You two, what's ......?"

As Hagrid spoke, he saw Barty Crouch on the ground and exclaimed, "Oh! Oh my God, no! ”

After saying that, he hurried towards the castle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hagrid, where are you going?" Ron asked, surprised.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, and walked over.

"Don't come here!" Bruce hurriedly stopped, but he was still a step too late.

"Ahh Hermione saw Barty Crouch's eyes wide open and screamed, and she hurriedly ducked behind her.

Ron also came over and was stunned to see this scene.

"Ba ...... Barty Crouch?! Ron was horrified and said, "How could he ...... No, isn't it okay to be by the lake? ”

Bruce shook his head and said solemnly, "Don't ask us about this. ”

With that, Bruce crouched down and held an oil lamp to observe Barty Crouch's corpse. Hermione panicked and asked, "Who could have done it?" Why kill him? ”

Bruce didn't speak, and Harry stared at Barty on the ground and said, "My scar hurts just now." ”

Hermione Ron's face turned pale when they heard this, and they knew what Harry's scar meant.

"Impossible! No way! Ron said hurriedly.

Bruce crouched on the ground and asked, "Why can't it be?" Didn't we speculate that they were going to do it in the Final Three? ”

Ron choked, but Hermione said, "But at this time...... Are they crazy? And their goal should not be...... It's him! ”

Harry said coldly, "Those crazy bastards can't do anything. ”

Hermione had nothing more to say, and it was then that Bruce noticed Barty Crouch's messy neckline, the collar of his shirt had been torn and slightly reddened, but the killer seemed to be trying to hide something and cover it again, or deliberately to attract attention.

Bruce lifted the neckline, revealing a logo around Barty Crouch's neck.

"Look!" Bruce said.

The three of them gasped as they looked at Barty's neck, and on his neck was a "dark mark" drawn with a sharp weapon!

Bruce stood up and said, "It seems that we are underestimating the Dark Lord and his guts. ”

After a while, there was a wave of footsteps behind the four of them. Hagrid returned, along with Dumbledore and the professors.

Dumbledore walked briskly over to the four, his face cold and terrifying when he saw Barty Kratch's body. The other professors also looked good and couldn't see where to go. A high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic died at Hogwarts, and the reaction of the Ministry of Magic can be imagined.

"When?" Dumbledore's icy voice rang out.

Bruce began, "I don't know, but we met Mr. Crouch by the lake at the end of the game, and we found him here about five minutes ago." ”

"Yes, I was at the lake at the time." Moody's said.

Dumbledore stared at Barty Crouch without speaking, and the others did not dare to say anything. After a moment, Professor McGonagall said, "Hagrid, find someone to carry Mr. Crouch back, we can't put him here." And the four of you go back with Hagrid. ”

The four replied, "Yes, Professor." ”

As Bruce and the others were about to leave, Dumbledore said, "Wait a minute, the four of you will come to my office in an hour." ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Okay, Professor." ”

However, the four of them did not go straight back to the dormitory, but instead sat down by the campfire outside Hagrid's hut. Hagrid had already gone to dispose of the corpses, and the four of them were just sitting around the campfire without saying a word, and the only thing around them was the strange silence of the burning branches.

After a while, Hermione couldn't stand the silence anymore and asked, "What do you say this will do?" ”

Ron said, "What else can I do." Everything is obvious, it's up to the Aurors to catch the murderer. ”

"You're saying that's too simple." Bruce said, "Ron, you're looking too highly of those people in the Ministry of Magic. ”

Harry sneered and said disdainfully; "They were ambushed...... The mysterious people don't dare to admit it when they are alive, will they make this matter public. Have you forgotten the coverage at the World Cup? ”

"It's not a trivial matter that a minister died." Hermione said, "And it's still in our school. ”

Ron said helplessly, "They're going to make trouble for Dumbledore." ”

Bruce said disdainfully, "They thought, do you have the guts?" Cut. ”

Hermione asked again, "And did you say the Final Three would be canceled?" ”

Harry said, "I'd like to cancel it, God knows what's going to happen next?" ”

Bruce said: "The contract is here, and none of the three schools will allow the Final Three to be interrupted. ”

"Alas!" Harry looked for his glasses and rubbed his eyes, and said tiredly, "Isn't it just for me to spend the school year in peace!" ”

Bruce stood up and said, "Say no more, let's go!" It's almost time, let's go to Dumbledore's. ”

The four of them got up and left Hagrid's cottage and headed for the castle, except for the "staircase" in the headmaster's office, when they were about to knock on the door when Dumbledore's angry voice was heard.

“…… Someone's dead here, Fudge! And he won't be the last, you should take action. ”

Standing outside the door, Ron looked at the three of them worriedly and said, "Should we ......?"

"Shh Bruce motioned for Ron to be silenced. Then I heard Fudge's angry voice behind the door.

"It doesn't work! In these extraordinary times, the wizarding world wants the support of their leadership! ”

"Do you just let them watch!" Dumbledore's tone was close to rampage.

Fudge was also extremely angry, and roared angrily: "The Triwizard Tournament will not be canceled, and I will not let others think that I am a coward!" ”

Outside the door, Bruce looked disdainful, and said in his heart: "It's a well-known fact that you are a coward." ”

"I don't joke with my students' lives without absolute certainty! A true leader will only do the right thing, he will not care what others think! ”

"What? Are you talking to me? ”

Hearing the situation, it was estimated that the two of them were rushing to do something, and just as Bruce was about to continue to "listen to the good show", another voice sounded: "Sorry, gentlemen! Our conversation is no longer a secret!

It's Moody's! He already knew that all four of them were coming, and before the four could react, the door opened, and in the office Moody leaned against the pillar and squinted at them, Dumbledore sat at his desk, and Fudge's angry expression had not disappeared.

The four of them stood there awkwardly in eavesdropping poses, and Dumbledore stood up and said, "Come in!" ”

The four of them hurriedly walked in, and Fudge was worthy of being the "head of a country", and his face was like a spring breeze in an instant, and there was no trace of flaw between the transformations, and he smiled: "Oh! Harry, Bruce. I'm so glad to see you, and these two classmates, forgive me for not knowing your names. ”

Bruce said, "That professor, Minister! We can wait and come back. ”

Dumbledore laughed, "Oh! It's okay! I've already talked to the minister and I'm about to see him off, so I'm going to ask you to wait a little longer, and if you want, you can have a glass of pumpkin juice. ”

With that, the two walked out of the office, and Moody limped away.

Seeing the door of the office close, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Ron said with a sigh of relief, "How did he find out about us?" ”

Hermione said with "disgust": "I must have exposed us with that sentence just now." ”

"How is that possible?" Ron hurriedly argued, "They didn't notice it when I spoke, okay?" ”

"Is that interesting? How many Death Eaters Professor Moody has captured, if we can't even find him, he won't be called a mad-eyed man. Bruce said.

Harry looked around and asked, "Wait." ”

"Wow! It's delicious. ”

The three of them looked at Ron, who was really polite and really drank the pumpkin juice.

"You guys try it, it's good." As he spoke, he took another drink.

Hermione shook her head helplessly and said, "You...... Forget it, I don't know what to say? ”

"Your heart is really not ordinary!" Bruce teased.

"What's wrong with you? I was hungry just now, and Dumbledore allowed it...... Wow! And the candy! ”

On the table in front of Ron was a copper bowl with chocolate in the shape of a shell. Ron picked one up and was about to put it in his mouth, but ......

That chocolate actually had a mouth full of fangs, and it was a bite to Ron!

"Ahh

Then all the "chocolates" in the bowl pounced on Ron, who was so frightened that he kept backing back and hit the cabinet at once, looking at the "chocolates" bouncing on the ground in horror, and said, "What kind of monster is this?" ”

"Well deserved! Make you gluttonous. Hermione laughed.

Ron said dissatisfiedly, "How do you speak?" What's wrong with a bite to eat...... Hiss! It hurts me to death. ”

Ron walked over with his hands covered, and just then the cabinet behind him "slammed" open. A blue light appeared in front of the four of them, but when they looked closely, there was a washstand behind the dare cabinet.

"Sink?!" Harry was surprised and said, "Why is it still glowing?" ”

Hermione recognized this "washstand" at the first time and hurriedly walked over, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, it's it!" O Merlin! I saw the real thing. ”

"Isn't it just a sink?" Ron genuinely didn't understand Hermione's excitement.

Bruce explains, "It's not your average sink, it's called a meditation basin. It's a magical weapon! ”

"Meditation basin? What is that? Harry said curiously.

Bruce explained, "It's a tool to preserve thoughts and memories in the mind, and that's all there is to the wizarding world. ”

"Really? It's incredible! Ron sighed.

Then the three of them hurriedly walked over, ready to take a closer look at this "peerless one-of-a-kind". Although what Bruce said was magical, there was nothing peculiar about the appearance of the meditation basin, which was just a shallow stone basin. The only thing that made the four curious was the water inside.

It was a liquid that couldn't tell whether it was thick or sparse, emitting blue light.

"The water is beautiful." Harry sighed.

Hermione explained, "I've read in books that there is no water in the meditation basin, and water only appears when memories are kept. ”

Bruce said, "Then that's Dumbledore's memory." ”

Ron looked curiously at the water in the meditation basin and suddenly asked, "What about this water...... Can you drink it? ”

"Forehead ......"
