The next day, a sensational news was published in the Daily Prophet, and the entire British wizarding community was boiling.

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Ron held the newspaper delivered by the owl this morning, and read exaggeratedly:

"'The director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation is suspected of major disciplinary violations, and has collaborated with the silent people of the Department of Mysteries to carry out corruption, involving millions of Galleons!'

Oh my God, our family has never seen a whole Galleon in our lives, and they have embezzled millions. ”

One of the Weasley twins behind Ron slashed off his brother's head, "That's just you haven't seen it, don't take me and George with you." ”

"Ouch," Ron touched the back of his head and looked back at his two older brothers, "Have you seen these millions of Galleons?" ”

George and Fred looked at each other and smiled, "Sooner or later, it will happen." ”

Ignoring his two older brothers, Ron continued, "Barty Crouch, the director of the Cooperation Division, who has always been known for his hard work and rigour, was arrested by the Aurors at his doorstep early yesterday morning.

……

Barty Crouch, who was once considered a candidate for the next minister, has been working with the Silent Men of the Department of Mysteries for more than a decade to defraud the Ministry of Magic of funds. According to people familiar with the matter, in a year, the four of them can divide up 200,000 Galleons, of which 60% belongs to the Crouch family.

……

However, the Ministry of Magic is still silent about which thing to manage, and I believe that this practice of the Ministry of Magic has harmed the right of wizards to know.

……

It is understood that of the five people in charge of the arrest yesterday, four were senior Aurors, and the remaining one was the director of the Auror Office.

When asked about the arrest process, the five Aurors replied that they had no comment, and the author guessed that the five might have fallen into disadvantage against Barty alone.

This humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic of conversation at the Ministry of Magic, so let's take a look at what former Auror Moody has to say about it.

The crazy-eyed man, who has always been straight, said bluntly: If the Aurors fail like this, I'm afraid that they won't even want face.

Moody's said: You said that the Department of Law Enforcement, how many directors have been changed one term at a time, have they changed, and they have not changed their medicines. Dumbledore also has a reason to say: What kind of people did I bring, the Order of the Phoenix I brought.

Who are the Aurors now? What level is the Auror now, just a few people, you Scrimgeour or something are being directors, can he be a director? I can't do it, I don't have the ability to know. If he goes down, he's going to lose to the students.

Hey! The Death Eaters lost Barty, then to the students, and then no one could lose.

The author asked: On the other hand, the Aurors were the first organization to prepare for the next wizarding war...

Moody's directly interrupted the author's question: Oh, Merlin's beard. You don't have a good foundation for an organization like this, and you can guarantee that you will be able to defeat the Dark Wizards.

Be pragmatic, I advise you to practice your iron armor spell first, understand the concept of combat first, I did a pretty good job, what did you change me for. Five can't beat one person in Barty Crouch's house, you have to tell me, how to explain it? Don't even have a face!

The author believes that ......"

Ron wanted to read on, but Hermione exclaimed, covered her mouth with her hand, and pointed to another report, "Look at this one! ”

Ron rolled up the newspaper and read the news Hermione pointed out little by little: "Prison break... Nine years of Azkaban, a Death Eater small... Barty Crouch recaptured? ”

Ron was slow at first, but finally read the title in an uncanny tone.

Everyone gasped in disbelief after listening to the title, only Harry asked stupidly, "What is Azkaban?" ”

"It's a prison," Percy, the fifth-year prefect, explained to Harry with a serious expression, "Azkaban is the most terrifying and only prison in British wizarding. ”

"Mom used to scare us both when we were kids," George said no longer with a hippie smile, "isn't it, Fred?" ”

The burly captain of the Quidditch team seemed to be half a beat slower than the others, and he looked at the pale and haggard picture of Barty Jr. in the newspaper and said:

"Azkaban had never escaped before, so I don't know how he got out. Scary, isn't it? I remember the guards in Azkaban were terrifying, weren't they?"

Cow Mike McLagan, a tall second-year Gryffindor, snatched the newspaper from Ron's hand and said arrogantly, "It's hard for others, but I don't think it's hard for Barty Crouch Jr." ”

"His father is Barty Crouch," McLagan said, pointing to the photo of the short-haired, somewhat embarrassed wizard in the previous news post.

"My uncle said that Barty Crouch was the head of the Law Enforcement Division at the time, and he personally tried his son, and it was not easy to do something. Hmph, two scum. ”

"What did little Barty do?" Harry asked suddenly.

The crowd was silent, and they didn't know what little Barty had done as a Death Eater.

"Drill Heart Mantra," a voice replied in a trembling voice.

It was Neville, his expression pained, as if he had made a lot of determination to say the word.

"He and a few other Death Eaters tortured my parents with the Heart-Piercing Curse, and they all went insane." Neville clenched his fists and lowered his head deeply, his faint sobs could be heard around him.

Ron put away the newspaper and walked over to pat Neville on the shoulder, "Neville, little Barty has been caught, everything will be fine." ”

At the same time, Dumbledore sat in the Headmaster's office, watching the two news stories in equal amazement.

"Barty Crouch, and Barty Crouch Jr. Corruption, and prison breaks, I didn't even notice it, oh my God, am I old?

Calvin, you've got me in for a big surprise. So what's next for you? ”

Dumbledore's self-talk in the office was not without an audience, and the Sorting Hat asked, "And what are your plans, Dumbledore?" ”

Dumbledore hesitated and said, "I don't have any plans, the Sorting Hat. As long as Calvin is driving within the rules, I'm not going to interfere with him. ”

At this moment, a gray owl flew in through the window and placed a letter on the principal's desk.

"Ah, the letter from the Wizengamot keeps me ready for a lot of big cases to be tried in the near future."

"What do you think of those old friends of yours in Wizengamory?"

"Voldemort and the Death Eaters are a bottom line that no one can touch." Dumbledore said calmly. He had a hunch that he would passively do Calvin a lot of favors this time.
