Chapter 2: The Interrogation of Barty Crouch Jr
A man stood in the doorway, carrying a long cane and a black traveling cloak wrapped around him.
Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the stranger, and suddenly a fork of lightning struck the ceiling, illuminating the stranger.
Zhang Hao knew who this was, and he sneered secretly: "God really gives this guy face, look at this momentum!"
The visitor took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and began to walk towards the faculty desk.
Wow!Wow......
With every step he took, a hollow voice echoed through the auditorium.
He walked to the light, and everyone finally saw his face.
It was a face like a wood carving, and the carver must have had only a vague idea of the human face, not even the use of a carving knife, so that every inch of skin on this face was scarred, the mouth was like a large crooked mouth, and the place where the nose should have been raised was missing.
This is really a night that can stop children from crying!
Zhang Hao sneered, took out his wand to himself, and read aloud: "Span Hunglis Revellio (Prototype Manifestation)!"
The spell struck the incoming person in the flash of light, and the comer only cared about dressing and forcing him, and he was not even the slightest defense.
Everyone was stunned, and no one knew why Zhang Hao was so angry.
The professors on the faculty chair stood up in unison, they didn't pay attention to Zhang Hao, but stared at the person who came - everyone heard that Zhang Hao was reciting a reduction spell, and this kind of spell did not harm normal people.
"Ahh
The man twitched, his face, his body, and his voice ...... Everything except the clothes is changing.
He also seemed to feel bad, and struggled to lift his crutches.
This time, without Zhang Hao's hands, Snape had already played a disarming spell.
The long, thick cane flew out of thin air and landed in Snape's hand, and he seemed to hand it over to Dumbledore at his side at a glance.
Then they gathered around them, and the comings gathered around them.
It was only at this time that the students reacted.
"What happened, who was that guy, why did Zhang Hao attack him?"
"It's a compound potion, it's a pretender who takes a compound potion!"
"Oh, I know, but who is he pretending, and why would he do that?"
"Wait a minute! Maybe the professors will find out the truth soon, and they will explain. β
By this time, the change of the Pretender was nearing its end.
The scars on his face began to disappear, and a fake eyeball popped out of his eye.
The eyeball landed on the ground and was jumping wildly, like a Dunkel long-legged flea (a magical creature the size of a fingernail).
The pretender gasped for breath, trying to recover from the sudden change.
Although the auditorium was bright, the man's face was covered by his hair, and he was still hidden in the shadows for the time being.
Zhang Hao slowly approached, straightened his face with his wand, glanced into the eyes of the professors, and asked with a smile, "Does anyone know this person?"
Professor McGonagall recognized it for a moment, and said in surprise, "Barty Crouch, Barty Crouch Jr., isn't he in Azkaban? He is pretending to be Professor Moody?"
"That's not the point...... The point is where did Alastor (Moody's full name Alastor Moody) go?"
Dumbledore's face was ugly, and he was worried about Moody's safety: "Severus, you go and see, we must find Alastor as soon as possible." β
Zhang Hao reminded: "Maybe you can check Professor Moody's luggage, I don't think this Death Eater will probably bring his own things into Hogwarts." β
Snape snorted and left, his resolute style was truly charming!
"Hagrid, lock him up first!" Dumbledore whispered, "The opening ceremony continues, and we'll deal with him later." β
He glanced at Zhang Hao and took the lead towards the faculty seat.
The old man had a bad head, and the others also stared at Zhang Hao when they left.
Hagrid shrugged at Zhang Hao, then tucked Barty Crouch Jr. under his arm and walked to the side of the small room, which is usually used as a stop for first-year freshmen when they first arrived.
This kind of thing happened, and everyone was a little worried.
But there was still something to be done, Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "As I said, in the coming months, we will be honored to host a very wonderful event of the vision. It's been an event for over a century, and I'm happy to report that Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. β
The audience suddenly became noisy, and those who knew and didn't know were all talking, and they were all asking what the Triwizard Tournament was.
"Are you kidding?" said Fred Weasley.
The tension was shattered, and almost everyone burst out laughing.
Dumbledore chuckled, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley. But since you're joking, I've heard a funny joke about a troll, a dominatrix, and a leprechaun who went into the same tavern......"
Professor McGonagall saw that Old Deng was getting more and more outrageous, and interrupted him with a light cough.
"Oh, it's probably not appropriate to say this now, let's move on to the Triwizard Tournament......"
The old Deng Tou Ula Ullah, who talked about the Triwizard Tournament from its origin to the present, only stopped, and after successfully arousing everyone's interest, he told everyone that they could not participate under the age of seventeen.
This really provoked the anger of the public, and many people raised their voices against it.
Draco got up and said, "Professor, it's not fair! why not let anyone under seventeen participate?"
Dumbledore said kindly, "This is also a protective measure for everyone's safety, and I hope everyone can understand." β
"Protection, what if some people don't need protection?" Draco glared at Zhang Hao slyly and said loudly, "As we all know, we Slytherin people can defeat the professor in their third year, do such people still need protection?"
"Yes, that's it, you can defeat the professor...... Who can protect him?"
"He has to be allowed to compete, or we won't recognize this year's Goblet of Fire. β
"The really strong are not allowed to participate, what's the point of this kind of event? It's really unfair!"
Zhang Hao smiled, these guys are really not a big deal to watch the excitement!
He didn't stop it, just quietly watched them make a fuss.
Anyway, it would be a good thing for him to be able to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, at least if he wins, he will get a thousand gold Galleons!
Dumbledore looked left and right, frowned, and said, "Be quiet! I'll discuss the age limit with the headmasters of the other two schools." But don't expect it to happen, because many of you don't have what it takes to compete. β
All right!
A lot of people choose to keep their mouths shut, and the principals say so, what else can they do?
Obviously, everyone is still a little dissatisfied.
Dumbledore also saw it, but he couldn't do anything but change the subject: "Let's talk about the last thing of the day, let me tell you! This year we at Hogwarts will open a new course, the Extraterritorial Civilization Studies. Now, welcome to the professor of this course, Lolana (does anyone know Lorana? If you are interested, you can Baidu "Underground Castle 2 Lorana")!"
The black-robed witch, who had been sitting on the faculty seat without saying a word, got up and bowed to everyone.
There was another discussion in the audience, and everyone was obviously very interested in the new course and the new professors.
And Zhang Hao was completely confused.
This new professor, Lolana, is the black-robed witch he had met once in the fence.
Compared with before, the strange aura on Lolana's body was much lighter.
"As you might have guessed, yes, Professor Lolana is from another world. Dumbledore said with a serious expression, "She will kindly lead us to the unknown world, and I hope you will learn her lessons carefully." β
Zhang Hao felt a little pain in his braincase, this woman turned out to be an alien, no wonder it was so difficult to meet and communicate for the first time!
But aren't aliens supposed to hide?
How dare she appear in front of the aborigines in the open?
And it is also appearing in front of the aboriginal boss?
It's weird!
After talking about the Extraterritorial Civilization Studies, Snape finally brought the real Moody.
The old Auror was not in a good state of mind, and he seemed to have been tortured by some kind of torture - some spells would have affected people's mental state in the first place.
Although he was not in a good state, Moody's insisted on saying hello to everyone.
But being taken down by the Death Eaters in the first place was a big blow to his reputation!
After Moody's met with everyone, the opening ceremony ended.
Dumbledore called out, "Mr. Zhang Hao stays, and the others can go back." β
After the students left, they arrived together in the room where Barty Crouch Jr. was being held.
Barty Crouch Jr. is much calmer now β though he's still crazy compared to others.
"How did you see through me, little ghost?" he stared at Zhang Hao hatefully, his tongue like a snake hyacinth, which could shake at an extremely high frequency.
Zhang Hao pouted and said, "You have a very heavy taste of compound decoction, I'm sorry, I'm very sensitive to some potions." Besides, do you think you're going to hide what you're going to do from me?"
It was true, he did smell the polyjuice decoction.
"You guys?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "you mean he has accomplices?"
"Of course, he does have accomplices. Professor Moody said with an ugly face, "Otherwise, how could he fight me alone?"
Hunting geese all day long but being pecked blind by geese is a few days of experience that Moody's has not been pleasant.
"Then who is he fighting with?" Snape asked suspiciously, "The other person's strength must not be simple, right?"
Zhang Hao said lazily: "There are a lot of things we need to know, why don't we use some truth elixir?" I think...... This Death Eater must know more than Professor Moody. β
Barty Crouch Jr.'s face changed drastically, and he stuck out his tongue vigorously, as if he wanted to bite his tongue off.
Truth-spitting can make people speak, but it can't make people write.
Biting your tongue off is a very good way to keep it secret!
Snape reacted quickly, dragging Barty Crouch Jr. by the neck and pinching his chin.
Then, he pulled a lower bottle out of his pocket, the same one he had used to deal with Peter Pettigrew last time.
The small half bottle of the truth potion was poured, and Snape said proudly: "There are so many truth spitting elixirs, he will say anything, who will ask first?"
Professor McGonagall couldn't wait to ask, "Who are you attacking Alastor with?"
Barty Crouch Jr. tried to resist, but was unsuccessful. He said with difficulty: "Yes...... It's the black-robed wizard Yu'er, and it's he who stuns Mad-Eyed Moody with me......"
"Black-robed wizard Yur, where is Voldemort now?" Dumbledore stared at Barty Crouch Jr. and asked, "Did he plan the attack on Alasto?"
"The Dark Lord is at Riddle House in Little Hangleton, and he asked me to pretend to be Mad-Eye Moody and find a way to bring Harry Potter to him. β
Zhang Hao frowned and asked, "Is Voldemort resurrected? Is he completely resurrected? Did Voldemort do the bloody case in the Albanian village before? If it wasn't him, who did it?"
Everyone glanced at Zhang Hao in surprise, they hadn't linked the Albanian bloodshed to Voldemort!
Thinking about it, they also thought that it might have something to do with Voldemort.
Barty Crouch Jr. gritted his teeth and said intermittently, "Yu'er did it...... He sacrificed with a strange blood...... Resurrected the Dark Lord......"
Hiss!
Everyone gasped, and the Dark Lord was resurrected!
Zhang Hao had already been mentally prepared, he sneered in his heart, and asked again: "Where did that black-robed wizard named Yu'er come from? Why did he resurrect Voldemort?"
Barty Crouch Jr. remembered who he was when he mentioned Yuer's name, Zhang Hao had met when they were in the Ministry of Magic, and even had a brief exchange.
The vision of the black-robed wizard You'er is still fresh in Zhang Hao's memory until now.
If I'm not mistaken, it's an alien as well.
Barty Crouch Jr. said, "I don't know where Yu'er came from, or why he resurrected the Dark Lord. β
"I think I should be able to answer that," Lorana, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Yu'er and I are from the same worldβ"
She has an odd accent and is very similar to Yu'er.
Zhang Hao secretly said in his heart Sure enough, these two people are really from the same world.
"Wait a minute, Professor Lorana. He interrupted, "Since you know something inside, let's talk about it later." Why don't you take advantage of the effect of the medicine now and ask some other questions?"
"Well! Lolana nodded.
Dumbledore waited for their exchange to end before continuing to interrogate, "Aren't you supposed to be in Azkaban? How did you escape? Who helped you?"
Barty Crouch Jr.: "It's my father and mother ......"
The interrogation lasted for a long time, and Barty Crouch Jr. confessed everything that should be confessed and what should not be confessed.
Zhang Hao said with emotion: "Poor Shining, she carried a big black cauldron! I heard that she came to Hogwarts?"
"yes!" Dumbledore laughed, "I thought about how long it took to make up for it, and she wasn't so sad." β
Zhang Hao looked at Luo Lana and said politely, "Professor, maybe you should tell everyone what you know." β
Luo Lana glanced at Zhang Hao deeply, and she had already recognized Zhang Hao.
But she didn't expect that this small child in front of her would have an extraordinary status in the wizarding world.
She couldn't help but wonder, "What the crystal ball asked me to find is the Great Alchemist...... Or is it this kid in front of you?"
