Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 674 Heavy Trials

“This... this is Rozier deserves to be punished!” Kakalov's tone is really starting to panic.

As can be seen, he began to worry that his intelligence would be of no use to the Ministry of Magic.

Kakalov glanced at the door at the corner of the house and the two Dementors undoubtedly stood behind the door.

Immediately afterwards, he gave several more names, which were still rejected by Crouch.

It's more like a bargaining process than a trial.

Kakalov is a cunning man, but Crouch is obviously more likely to be able to ask everything he knows.

“Anything else?” Crouch asked unemotionally.

“Wait, there's Travers!” Kakalov said in panic, "He helped murder the McKinnons! And by the way, there's Murceber, who specializes in soul-snatching spells, forcing a lot of people to do terrible things! Lukwood, he's a traitor, providing useful intelligence to the mystery from within the Ministry of Magic! ”

When he said Lukwood's name, a whisper came around.

“Lukwood!” Mr. Crouch nodded at a witch sitting in front of him and she wrote on parchment paper, "Auguste Lukwood of the Mysterious Affairs Division?! ”

“That's him!” Kakalov was anxious to say, "I believe he used a group of wizards embedded inside and outside the Ministry of Magic to gather information for him. Lukwood's location is important and he has access to the Department of Mysterious Affairs..."

“Well, you said Travers and Murceber are what we already know.” Crouch says, "Kakalov, if that's all, you'll be sent back to Azkaban until we decide..."

“No!” Kakalov cried desperately, "Wait, I still have it! ”

Harry saw him in the bright light of the torch, with pale skin contrasting sharply with dark hair.

“Snape!” He said out loud, "Severus Snape! ”

“Snape has been released by this Committee! Crouch scornfully said," Albus Dumbledore vouched for him. ”

“No!” Kakalov shouted, trying hard to break the chain that tied him to his chair, "I assure you, Severus Snape is a dead eater, a complete dead eater! ”

Dumbledore stood up and a lot of people looked at him.

“I have already testified on this matter! He said calmly," Severus Snape was indeed a dead eater, but he threw himself at our side before Voldemort collapsed, taking great risks to spy on us. He's no longer a Death Eater, just like you and me. ”

“No!” Kakalov said reluctantly, "He didn't...”

Speaking of which, Snape's double-sided spy status was a real success.

Both Dumbledore and Voldemort believed that he was one of them, and even the Death Eaters believed him until Voldemort returned.

Even Ivan had to admire that, and I'm afraid no one could do it except Snape.

“All right, Kakalov!” Crouch coldly said, "You have assisted us in our work, I will re-examine your case, you go back to Azkaban first..."

“Snape is..." Harry hasn't had time to comment on it, and Crouch's voice goes away.

The dungeons are dissipating like smoke and everything is fading away.

The two of them can only see each other, their bodies - everything else becomes spinning darkness...

And then the dungeon showed up again!

They sat in another seat, still the highest row of benches, now to Mr. Crouch's left.

The atmosphere seems very different: very relaxed, even pleasant.

Wizards on all sides are talking to each other as if watching a sporting event.

Ivan noticed a witch in the middle row opposite, short blonde hair, wearing a magenta robe, sucking on the tip of an eye-catching green goose fur pencil, no doubt a younger Rita Skeeter.

His eyes swept over several people, and Dumbledore, like before, Moody's disappeared.

Mr. Crouch seemed tired before, a little harsh, a little tedious...

The corner door opened and Rudo Bagman walked in.

This is not the aging Ludo Bagman, but Ludo Bagman, Quiddich star of the Peak Times.

His nose is not broken, his body is thin and strong.

Bagman looked a little nervous sitting on a chair with chains, but those chains didn't tie him up. This may have struck Bagman, who swept through four spectators, waved at several people and revealed a smile.

“Ludo Bagman, you have been brought before the Magical Law Commission to answer allegations of your activities as a Death Eater.” Mr. Crouch said, "We have heard your testimony and now we have a verdict to make. Do you have anything else to say before the verdict is pronounced? ”

“Just one sentence!” Rudo Bagman smiled unnaturally, “Well, I know I'm a fool..."

There was one or two wizards in the surrounding seats smiling leniently and nodded.

But Mr. Crouch was not moved, and he looked down at Ludo Bagman with seriousness and disgust.

“Bagman was a Death Eater?” Harry asked softly, with surprise in his voice.

“No, as he said himself, he's a fool!” Ivan replied.

“Ludo Bagman, you were captured while delivering information to Voldemort's party feathers!” Mr. Crouch said, "For this reason, I recommend that you be sentenced to imprisonment in Azkaban at least...”

But in four angry shouts, several wizards stood up and shook their heads at Mr. Crouch, even waving their fists.

“Buddy, I told you, I had no idea!” Bagman glared at the round blue eyes and shouted eagerly, “I had no idea, Lukwood was a friend of my father's! I never thought he was a mystery worker. I thought I was gathering information for our people! Lukwood keeps saying he's gonna find me a job in the Ministry of Magic, and after I retire from the Quiddich team, you know, I can't spend the rest of my life being chased and beaten by a stray ball, can you? ”

Another whisper, the audience laughed eating.

“Vote.” Mr. Crouch coldly said, "Please note to the jury, raise your hand agreeing to the sentence of imprisonment...”

No one raised their hands, many wizards even started clapping, and a witch on the jury stood up.

“What happened?!” Crouch roared loudly.

“We would like to congratulate Mr. Bagman on his outstanding performance last Saturday in the Quiddich match against Turkey, which brings light to the British team.” The witch said excitedly, "This is our honor! ”

Mr. Crouch looked angry, clapping in the dungeon, and Bagman stood up and bowed and smiled.

“Bastard!” As Bagman walked out of the dungeon, Mr. Crouch sat down and exasperated to Dumbledore, “Lukwood really got him a job, and the day Ludo Bagman came to work would be an unfortunate day for the Ministry of Magic...”

Immediately thereafter, the dungeon vanished from sight.

When it reappeared, Ivan, Harry and Dumbledore were still sitting next to Mr. Crouch in the same position.

But the atmosphere was different, and the house was quiet. All she could hear was the choking of a weak, windy witch next to Mr. Crouch. She trembled with a handkerchief in her mouth.

Evan came out of nowhere, and he knew it was the trial of Little Buddy Crouch, and the critical moment had come!

He recalls that Sirius was sentenced to the same day as Buddy Crouch Jr.

Sirius, of course, was imprisoned in Azkaban without being tried.

But he must be here now!
