Chapter 515 Rufus's Inference
"Where have you been, Barty?" Fudge asked quickly. His expression was very frightened. He was more afraid of these dark wizards than anyone else, whether it was the influence these dark wizards had on him, or something about A representative of the dark wizards themselves.
"It's unimaginable that something like this will happen tonight. Those dark wizards actually bypassed the defense of the Ministry of Magic and launched an attack from within. They even took out the Dark Mark."
Fudge spoke quickly, and his upper and lower lips kept colliding, which was a little white, and was no better than Fan Lin and Hermione.
"I've been extremely busy today!" Barty Crouch said word by word with a cold face, looking as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
"At the beginning of the Quidditch World Cup, those vampires and dark wizards teamed up to attack my tent. It seemed that someone had leaked the news to them."
"That's impossible." Fudge said quickly, "Are you kidding? Maybe someone from them has sneaked in."
Immediately afterwards, Fudge's face became even more ugly.
"These guys are absolutely crazy. In front of wizards all over the world..." Fudge yelled horribly, "I have already foreseen what those people will say. I don't need to think about it to know that this is all the fault of the Ministry of Magic. These people are Will take responsibility for...oh, no...that house elf, what happened to that house elf?"
As if sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Fudge changed the topic, but this made the conversation even worse.
An official from the Ministry of Magic walked up quickly and quickly described what happened to Fudge.
This man has a gloomy face and his brown hair is a little messy, which gives people a rough and crazy look.
At least that's what the dissenting voices say.
Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, the strongest Auror in the Ministry of Magic.
It seems that he is not satisfied with Barty Crouch's leadership.
"You mean...what connection does this house elf have with the previous Dark Mark? It's even possible..."
Fudge did not continue. He looked at Barty Crouch with a strange expression. It seemed that he had a disobedient house elf.
"That's not right. This house elf can't release this magic at all. Moreover, with the Dark Mark, we have to admit that it is impossible for a creature like a house elf to..."
Fudge said slowly, and he looked at Barty Crouch. House elves will only obey their master's orders.
This makes things a little sensitive. The Dark Mark was released from Shining's position. This is really... It is impossible to say that this house elf has nothing to do with this matter. And the house elf was clutching an invisibility cloak.
This is worth thinking about and pondering.
Invisibility cloak?
Looking at the invisibility cloak that suddenly appeared in Rufus' hand, the matter became complicated.
The appearance of this invisibility cloak put Crouch completely into trouble. Fan Lin must be sure of this. Shining will only obey his orders, and this invisibility cloak naturally belongs to him.
So, what is he trying to hide?
No one mentioned the invisibility cloak, even though everyone had discovered it long ago.
Crouch didn't speak. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Fudge's words. His eyes were fixed on Twinkle, as if he would kill her in the next second.
"It can't be her..." someone whispered.
"It's not her, but I can't escape the relationship with her. I suspect this house elf helped... In short, she is very suspicious." Rufus said quickly.
His senses are very keen, and coupled with his serious face, no one will stand up to contradict him.
"But……"
"I think we can listen to the house elf's defense, and then we can make the most fair judgment. Regarding matters involving dark wizards, we must be cautious." Rufus said, "If you If you don't mind, Mr. Crouch, I think I need your house elves to cooperate with us to do some work."
Rufus did not ask Crouch what he meant. Crouch was not allowed to refuse this matter.
"Enerrate!"
Warm milky white light burst out from the tip of Rufus' wand, and the warm light quickly penetrated into Winky's body lying on the ground.
Shining's body twitched slightly, and it seemed like her body had suffered some damage, which made Shining feel a little painful.
She twitched slightly, then slowly sat up from the ground, holding her forehead with one hand, her big brown eyes suddenly opened, and then quickly closed again.
She looked a little dizzy, and her condition was not very good.
The surrounding wizards were somewhat silent, no matter who they were, they were all waiting for Twinkle to wake up.
Fan Lin didn't think they would get anything. Crouch was not a decoration, but Fan Lin was still very curious about how Crouch would solve it.
But Shining's fate...
Except for Hermione and a few others, no one of the wizards present cared. Rufus had already given Winky unimaginable respect and listened to Winky's defense.
Perhaps, because house elves are magical creatures, spontaneous magical protection makes it difficult to read memories.
What's more, the memory of a house elf is really not a bearable viewing effect for a wizard.
Hermione seemed to want to say something, but the girl was still a little weak.
Ginny came over to support Hermione, while Harry was on the other side. He lifted Vanlin up and stood with Sirius.
The two were in such a mess.
Winky finally sobered up a little. She saw the surrounding environment clearly. So many wizards surrounded her, which made Winky feel very scared.
It had never happened before. A house elf had always been the focus of wizards' attention. This was a special treatment.
But this also made Winky feel panic.
The confusion in her expression faded away. In an instant, Winky's eyes naturally became weak. Her body trembled slightly, and she saw her master.
It seemed that she thought of something.
She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Crouch kept staring at Winky.
Suddenly, Winky became a little worse. She couldn't stand. The pressure Crouch gave her was almost fatal.
Winky looked down and saw the invisibility cloak in her hand. Then she quickly glanced at Barty Crouch, and then she hugged the invisibility cloak in her arms, covered her face with her hands and cried.
She lost her little master, and she did not complete the task given to her by Crouch, so the result was that Winky's life was over. (To be continued)
