Chapter 516: Scrimgeour's Attack

"Elf!" Scrimgeour said sternly, his voice increased to a higher level, which made him more majestic.

"I am the Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour!"

Sparkle's body trembled violently. This was not an entrustment. She figured out the situation almost instantly.

But this also intensified Sparkle's fear. She was very scared. You can't expect a house elf to have much courage. Moreover, she knew clearly what she had lost, and the lost thing...

"Elf, I have something to ask you!" Scrimgeour said very seriously. As the Director of Auror, Scrimgeour's fierce look naturally didn't need to be deliberately pretended.

"Just now, someone here conjured up the Dark Mark," Scrimgeour shouted, pointing his wand at the top of Winky's head, "and you are right there, you need to give us an explanation."

"I...I...I didn't...Sir..." Winky said tremblingly, as if it was deliberately difficult, her chest heaving violently, "I...I don't know how to change."

"You have to tell the truth, elf, otherwise, you will have to say goodbye to your master." Scrimgeour did not pause, he pressed forward a step.

This step was like pressing Winky's fragile heart under his feet.

Winky's body could not help but retreat.

"No...no...Winky...Winky is telling the truth..."

"Then how do you explain the invisibility cloak in your hand, what are you hiding?" Scrimgeour asked harshly.

Winky's body trembled violently, she simply could not withstand such pressure, especially in front of an Auror.

"No, Winky...Winky, Winky really doesn't know, I just..." Winky looked at Mr. Crouch helplessly.

But Crouch did not respond, he could not confess about his son.

"That spell was not a flash, I saw it." Harry said quickly, "It was a man in a black coat, and he Apparated away."

"I know, Harry Potter." Scrimgeour said, "but the sudden appearance of that man must be related to the house-elf, otherwise, why would the elf hold an invisibility cloak, which was in the box before, but there was no one around her."

"Maybe, maybe it's a coincidence." Harry said.

"Are you hinting at me?" Old Barty Crouch looked at Scrimgeour with a gloomy face.

"I'm just stating a fact, your house-elf is there."

"You should know that this house-elf only listens to my orders." Crouch said.

"Who knows..."

"Hey, Scrimgeour!" Fudge said, two top Aurors confronting each other, this is not a good thing.

"Maybe, something went wrong with this house-elf. I mean..." Fudge thought for a moment, "Maybe this house-elf betrayed him..."

"No, not Winky..." Winky screamed, "Winky is a good elf. Winky doesn't use any offensive spells except for life-related spells."

"Enough, we caught you in the act, and you stole an invisibility cloak."

"Winky won't steal cloaks..." Winky sobbed, "Winky is a good elf."

Winky cried, her lungs panting violently, like a worn-out bellows.

"Enough!" Barty Crouch shouted angrily, "You mean, I teach my servants about the Dark Mark regularly, and maybe my servants betray me and help other dark wizards and take my invisibility cloak?"

Scrimgeour didn't speak, he looked at Barty Crouch quietly, his eyes full of strange light.

All the people in the Ministry of Magic were silent. In fact, they didn't dare to get involved in such things.

The authority of the Ministry of Magic, and then contacted the dark wizards...

This idea is really crazy.

Moreover, it involves Barty Crouch, who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one will deny Barty Crouch's role in the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, thinking of Barty Crouch's previous experience, it makes all wizards feel scared.

It can be said to be crazy.

The former director of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic, who is in charge of all Aurors, is now the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department.

Crouch's influence in the two departments can be said to be powerful.

He was once the most promising Minister of Magic, and he gained a high prestige because of his open confrontation with Voldemort. Later, Voldemort fell, and his son was found to be a Death Eater, so he personally sent his son to Azkaban Prison.

Such a thing is not something that everyone can do.

It can be said that Crouch's tenacity is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Cornelius Fudge seemed to be frightened, and he couldn't make up his mind.

In front of this former Minister of Magic, Fudge's role seemed to be very small.

There is also the current Director of the Auror Office.

Although Barty Crouch is above him, the clash between two extremely tough characters is not something that he, the Minister of Magic who has done nothing, can intervene in casually.

The Auror system has never been in the hands of Cornelius Fudge, which makes him feel very bad.

"Everything is possible, Director Barty Crouch, we need a lot of investigation, only sufficient evidence can prove..."

"Prove what? Are you trying to say that I participated in the action tonight?"

This was too scary.

No one dared to speak.

Fanlin frowned slightly. Scrimgeour pushed Barty Crouch too hard. This was not a good thing.

"I hope you remember that in my long career, what has never changed is my hatred for the dark arts. There is a lot of evidence to prove my hatred and disgust for all those who play with these spells..."

"Ah, yes, yes, but you may not know your servant, this house elf. Your experience cannot explain the suspicion of this house elf."

"Perhaps it learned it by chance from somewhere else, or..." Fudge said uneasily. He was too powerless.

"Now, elf, you have to tell me, where are you and what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything, sir." Winky said crying, "Winky stayed in the box, it was the master's order, I saved a seat for him, and then the box collapsed, the magic here was too chaotic, Winky fainted when escaping."

"Well, isn't it clear now?" Fudge said, "The elf helped his master to save a seat, and then the battle between Vanlin and the dark wizard affected it, it couldn't leave, this is normal, it stayed in the ruins, this is just a coincidence."

Fudge said quickly, he didn't mention what the invisibility cloak was, in fact, he couldn't think of any use for it.

Maybe Barty wanted to use it, so he let his elf take it.

Well, he didn't care what the elf did at all, the elf couldn't get the recognition of that person, naturally, without the gift, the Dark Mark couldn't be released.

This requires a wand, although the elf doesn't need a wand to cast spells.

"Mr. Minister, I saw that person, Apparition." Harry said.

"Apparition is not allowed here," said Scrimgeour.

"But the venue was destroyed, the magic circle failed. And those vampires, they also disappeared out of thin air." said one of Fudge's subordinates.

"Rufus, this is what happened. The dark wizard didn't notice the unconscious house elf. You should be able to judge who would care about an insignificant little guy. He released the Dark Mark and then Apparated away. This unlucky elf just happened to faint there."

Scrimgeour didn't speak. He seemed to be considering the possibility described by Fudge.

However, Vanlin didn't think so.

Suspicion about a person can't be dispelled so easily. Maybe Barty is fine, but it's inevitable...

His son is a Death Eater, just like Bella, the most loyal Death Eater.

"Elf, before you fainted, did you see anyone?"

Winky took a deep breath. Her two copper bell-like eyes looked at Scrimgeour, then at Barty Crouch, and then she turned her head and aimed at Cornelius Fudge.

"No, sir, Winky didn't see anything. I was the only one there." Winky said tremblingly.

No one doubted it, unless they knew the truth.

Fanlin would not say anything. Besides, it would not do any good for the house-elf in front of him.

This is Dobby's friend. It can be seen that the relationship between the two house-elves is very good.

"You are lying. You should know that I have many ways to make you tell everything you know." Scrimgeour did not seem to let Winky go.

"She was scared. It's all your fault." Hermione said. She was very dissatisfied with Scrimgeour's attitude. He was simply.

"You are..."

"Hermione, Hermione Granger, a wizard from Hogwarts." Hermione barely straightened her chest.

"Although I am very grateful that you and your companions stopped the dark wizards, it does not mean that you can interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic."

"But we are already involved, Mr. Scrimgeour." Fanlin frowned. He didn't want to speak at first, but Hermione's will...

In short, this person can't be criticized.

"Participate in it?"

"Yes, although I am not very willing." Fan Lin said, "But, I think, we have no choice, and I am fighting, and the one who has been observing the whole process is Harry in the sky. Or, do you think Harry will lie to you, will he protect a Death Eater?" Fan Lin looked at Scrimgeour strangely.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Director. It's hard for me to understand. I think a person who has fought against the most powerful dark wizard should not protect anything related to dark wizards. What do you think?" Fan Lin said, and the pain in his body made him gasp a few times.

Harry's role is highlighted, and at present, Harry's role is still powerful.

Scrimgeour frowned, such a hat was put on...

"As my companion, Harry Potter said, the wizard who released the dark magic has fled, and this and the house elves... cough... I think you should find a way to chase him, instead of holding a house elf here." (To be continued)
