Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

Harry and the merman named Leach were taken to the principal's office together.

For taking Leach away, after confirming that he was really under the Imperius Curse, the mermaid did not express any objection, but hoped that Dumbledore could guarantee Leach's safety.

Mermaids and centaurs are diametrically opposed in their attitude towards wizards. These magical races who always live underwater know clearly that it is best not to have any hostile intentions with wizards.

After all, people's fists are big, and they should be soft when they should be soft, which is not ashamed.

Besides Sherlock, Moody was the only one who followed to the principal's office.

Bagman originally wanted to come along with him and pay attention to Harry's situation, but Dumbledore declined him after seeing Sherlock winking secretly.

They walked into the office together, and Moody and Harry were surprised to see Crouch's presence here.

"Why is Barty here?" Moody asked in surprise.

Seeing Crouch lying on the sofa, just fainted and obviously still breathing, the expression on Dumbledore's face could not help but relax a lot.

"It's Sherlock's credit for bringing Barty back."

Sherlock just waved his hand and said nothing.

The Crouch thing could be talked about at any other time, and the key issue now was to figure out Harry's.

Dumbledore sat on the chair, clasped his hands together, and looked at Harry. The blue eyes were still so peaceful, which made Harry feel a lot more relaxed.

"I still need to confirm some things from you, Harry, you said just now that this mermaid dragged you to the bottom of the Black Lake after knocking you out?"

Harry organized the wording, and there was no one else here, so he could make it clearer by telling what happened.

"Yes, Professor, I was awakened by my mother's voice. I just woke up and saw him grab my arm and take me to the bottom of the lake, and then along the bottom of the lake like he was looking for something."

"Did he show any intention to kill or injure you?" Dumbledore continued.

Harry said with certainty.

"No, if he wants to kill me, he can do it when I'm knocked out at first, and in the back, he's taken my wand and can kill me at any time, but he It didn't do that."

His remarks revealed a lot of information, which made Sherlock and Moody glance at each other.

Obviously, if the man who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire meant to kill him, his plan had succeeded this time.

But the mermaid controlled by the Imperius Curse did not do this, but the target of the action was very strange.

There was silence in the office, and just as they were all thinking, the mermaid lying on the ground made a movement.

"Um.... where am I?"

He sat up from the ground with a bewildered look on his face, and it seemed that he had escaped from the state of soul capture and returned to normal.

Of course, Dumbledore did the job of questioning.

His eyes were still peaceful, and he looked at Leach's eyes and asked him if he still remembered what happened before.

After a brief flashback, Leach quickly remembered what he had done. Gu Ming

He was extremely nervous, trying desperately to explain that it was not his intention to do such a thing. The day before the game started, he inexplicably entered that groggy state.

His body is out of control, and his consciousness has no way to think soberly. The body seems to have another mind, controlling him to do things.

As for why this happened, and when did he get the curse, I just asked three questions and didn't know.

The person who cast the Imperius Curse on him was deeply hidden, and he never showed up from the beginning to the end. Even if the incident was finally revealed, no trace or evidence could be found.

But although Dumbledore is old, his thinking ability has not subsided at all, but is much stronger than most people.

"Can you still find the place where you took Harry to the bottom of the lake under the control of Soul Reaper?"

Leach nodded immediately without hesitation.

"I know a lot about Black Lake underwater, and I still remember that place."

From Harry and Leach's side, I can't ask for any useful wire speed, but we can continue to look for it from other aspects.

After getting a positive answer, Dumbledore did not hesitate to let Leach take Moody together, and go to the Black Lake next time to go to the bottom of the lake to find the thing he wanted to find when he grabbed Harry before.

After Leach and Moody left, there was no Harry here.

Dumbledore encouraged him to prepare for the last competition in June, and let him go back to the lounge.

Only Sherlock, Dumbledore and Crouch, still in a coma, were left in the office.

Sherlock didn't speak to Dumbledore about Crouch for the first time, but said softly.

"Durmstrong's students have always lived on the boat at Black Lake, as has Karkaroff."

The expression on Dumbledore's face paused slightly, then shook his head.

"This alone only aggravates his suspicion. Without actual evidence, we still have no way to deal with him."

There are many ways to get a person to speak, and there are even no other methods. If Dumbledore himself is in the right situation, he can directly ask Karkaroff to speak.

But these things are all illegal in the magic world.

Wizards have extraordinary abilities, but the magical society is still a society with civilization and order, especially characters like Dumbledore~lightnovelpub.net~ must follow the rules.

It's impossible for anyone other than the Ministry of Magic to use that (although Snape always uses Veritaserum to scare Harry).

"Let's talk about Crouch first. How did you find him before he woke up?"

Sherlock told Dumbledore what he had experienced this morning, including the conversation he had heard from the three Death Eaters.

"Voldemort obviously still wants Crouch to do something for him, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to force his men to recapture their souls as soon as possible."

Dumbledore turned his head to look at the sleeping Crouch and said in a deep voice.

"I think it's not just because he can do anything in Hogwarts, but Barty's identity is also very important. Even if he is now the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, he still has a very strong position in the Magical Law Enforcement Department. High prestige, Voldemort is thinking about the future."
