The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 225: busy people (3)

Burns watched Crouch's reaction and keenly noticed a trace of abnormality. To make sense, Dumbledore was just a little rude, but Crouch's reaction was really weird.

There are things in that room that cannot be shown. Burns immediately found the source of the anomaly.

What could it be? She was thinking about it.

At this time Dumbledore had entered the room where the noise was coming from. He had learned Crouch's little secret from Tom long before that. Tom's excuse was very convincing to a certain extent: when he was chatting with the dementor, he learned of such a strange thing: a person died in Azkaban. This is not a strange thing in itself. Many people died in Azkaban, but the dementors said that the person who died was not the same person who was imprisoned.

It's strange, but the dementors don't bother to care about this kind of thing-this is an entanglement between wizards, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, the number of people is right.

The dementors are very Buddhist. They patrol every day, absorbing a wave of prisoners' emotions, and guarding the prisoners at the same time to prevent them from running out. After Sirius escaped from prison, the dementors searched so aggressively mainly because they could absorb the emotions of some passers-by with the acquiescence of the Ministry of Magic when they were on the field. As for Sirius, if he ran, he ran, no big deal.

That's why they were angry after being banned from Hogwarts and expelled from Hogsmeade: no food, of course anger.

The explanation given by Tom is much more reliable than saying that he guessed it from stargazing/looking at a crystal ball/twittering a dream. So Dumbledore really believed it. He came to Crouch's house today just to verify Tom's statement. All his actions just now were to paralyze Crouch and make him relax his vigilance.

After hearing the strange noise, Dumbledore made up his mind that Crouch's house must be searched today. He pushed open the door of that room, and there was no one inside, but Dumbledore still locked his eyes on the corner of the room instantly.

The empty room gave Crouch a little courage, he stood up straight, and just about to say something, saw Dumbledore pull out his wand.

"Human form appears ()!"

In fact Dumbledore was completely superfluous. Dumbledore can cast the spell "Appear in Human Form" silently and without a stick. In front of this spell, the invisibility cloak and invisibility cloak are as if they don't exist—including the Deathly Hallows invisibility cloak, there is nothing to hide from Dumbledore's eyes shape.

Dumbledore may be the wizard who is best at using the Manifestation Charm in the magic world, because he is so familiar with this spell that he has almost formed a conditioned reflex, turning his active skills into passive skills, just like his Legilimency, They can all be read without a wand and without making a sound.

And we have reason to believe that every time Dumbledore goes to a new environment, he will use "Human Appearance" again, because Dumbledore and Fudge saw Harry and Harry in the invisibility cloak the first time they entered Hagrid's cabin. Ron...that's the best proof.

Don't look at Dumbledore's use of this spell as a passive skill, there are very few people in the magic world who know this spell. At present, there are only two people who can stably and silently see through the invisibility cloak: Dumbledore and Moody-Moody did it through the magic eye.

Still, Dumbledore drew his wand and said the spell.

As if there was a breeze blowing, a young man with light yellow messy hair appeared in the sight of the three.

Old Barty Crouch's complexion suddenly turned dead gray.

When Burns saw the face of the young man, his complexion changed drastically—she recognized this man, his name was Barty Crouch Jr., and he was the only son of the old Barty beside her.

This person, logically speaking, was sent to Azkaban by his father more than ten years ago, and died in the prison. How could he appear here? !

Bones looked at Crouch's death-like face, and had a bold idea in his heart: Did Crouch do something in it?

The young man looked blank,

The skin on his face showed an unhealthy paleness due to staying at home all year round, and because of this pale skin, the freckles on the man's face became more conspicuous. There was something wrong with his state, because even if Dumbledore and others suddenly appeared in front of him, the man didn't respond.

Dumbledore walked up to the man, observed him for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at Crouch, and said in a regretful tone: "Barty, I really didn't expect...how long have you used the soul-snatching method on your son?" cursed?"

"Imperius Curse?!" Burns exclaimed, looking at old Crouch in disbelief. In her impression, old Crouch was an upright and ruthless person, but this image collapsed within a few minutes: abusing his power to steal the world, using the Imperius Curse to control his son for a long time...

Old Barty Crouch, how many things do you still not know?

Crouch has completely given up resistance. Like a prisoner whose criminal methods have been exposed by a detective, he began to explain his experience in the past ten years in a bamboo tube.

It turned out that after Little Crouch was imprisoned ~lightnovelpub.net~ his mother was distraught, and finally begged Old Crouch to save Little Crouch from prison before dying. Crouch Sr. agreed because he really loved his wife. So during the prison visit, Little Crouch took the compound decoction containing his mother's hair, and Mrs. Crouch took the compound decoction containing his son's hair.

In this way, the two sides exchanged identities and appearances.

In this way, old Crouch successfully concealed the truth and rescued his child from Azkaban. Mrs. Crouch stayed in Azkaban instead of her own child. Nor did she forget to take Polyjuice Potion regularly in her endless desperation, and she didn't forget to take Polyjuice Potion until the dying day.

Therefore, when she died, she still kept the appearance of little Crouch, and everyone including Burns thought that the person who died in Azkaban was little Crouch.

After the little Crouch was brought out, the old Crouch announced that his wife had died of illness and held a secret funeral. In fact, if someone had dug Mrs Crouch's grave, it would have been found to be empty.

Since then, little Crouch has been locked up at Crouch's house, living in a cloak of invisibility all day long, and the house elf Winky takes care of him until Dumbledore brings the Minister of Magic to the door.
