Chapter 678 The Trial of Karkaroff
Shortly after Ivan and Harry came in, they heard footsteps.
The door at the corner of the dungeon opened, and three people walked in.
More precisely, at least one of them was human, held hostage by two dementors.
The icy feel of the dementors is so real, you can't help but forget that it's just in memory.
Unpleasant thoughts echoed in Ivan's mind, and he saw that Harry was also pale, looking at the dementor in horror.
In fact, under the influence of the dementor, everyone around seems a little timid.
The two dementors, two tall monsters with hooded faces, walked slowly towards the armchair in the center of the room, their rotting dead hands clutching the arm of the man in the middle, who looked like he was about to faint fall down!
They put him in a chained chair and walked slowly out of the room, closing the door behind them.
The chains on the arm of the chair glowed suddenly with gold, and then snaked around his arms and bound him there.
The man raised his head in panic, and Ivan recognized that it was Karkaroff.
Unlike the silver-haired Dumbledore, Karkaroff looked much younger, with dark hair and beard.
Instead of a smooth fur coat, he was shivering in a thin, torn robe.
"Is this the picture of Karkaroff being tried?!" Ivan stared at the young Karkaroff on the chair with great interest.
For this guy, he was more interested in how many Death Eaters he had betrayed to be free.
"Igor Karkaroff!" Mr. Crouch, who was sitting in the middle of the room, stood up.
His hair is also black, his face is much less wrinkled than now, and he looks energetic.
This time should be the most glorious time for Crouch. Voldemort failed to escape, and his tough attitude towards dark wizards helped him win the hearts of the people in the war that just ended. Everything is going in a good direction. wave......
Who would have thought that everything would change just a few months later.
"Karkaroff, you were brought out of Azkaban to testify to the Ministry of Magic." Crouch said solemnly, waving his hand, "You told us that you have important information to report to us."
Karkaroff stood as straight as he could, and he was strapped tightly to the chair.
"Yes, sir!" Although his voice was full of fear, he could still hear the familiar oily tone, "I would like to serve the Ministry of Magic. I know that the Ministry of Magic is hunting for the remnants of the Dark Lord. To assist you..."
For this statement, Dumbledore did not respond, expressionless.
Mad-Eye Moody, sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes tightly in intense disgust.
Of course, his appearance is also different from now.
At this time, he has no magic eyes, only a pair of ordinary eyes, and there are not so many scars on his face.
"Hmph, Crouch is going to let him go!" Moody whispered to Dumbledore. "He made a deal with him. It took me six months to catch him, but now as long as he can provide Name a lot of others and Crouch will let him go. Let's get his intel, I say, before throwing him back in the Dementors."
Dumbledore let out a disapproving sound from his long hooked nose.
"Ah, I forgot, you don't like dementors, do you, Albus?" Moody asked with a sarcastic smile.
"Yes!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I don't like it. I always feel that it is wrong for the Ministry of Magic to get involved with these monsters. We will suffer sooner or later, and let those monsters guard the dark wizard. Besides, it is very Inhuman, even if..."
"They deserve it the most, scum like this..." Moody said disgustedly, "It is said that this guy's family is very powerful in the Nordic region, and it seems to be in collusion with the local vampires, black wizards and pure dark creatures!"
"About those vampires, has there been any movement recently?" Dumbledore asked softly.
"No, they've been completely silent lately after that man disappeared, and I've had no trouble capturing Karkaroff! That's very wrong, I don't know if you have any sources in that area, but as far as I know Observe..." Moody suddenly lowered his voice, whispering something in Dumbledore's ear.
Ivan moved closer, trying to hear what he was saying.
But Moody finished speaking soon, and Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded.
As the trial continued, Crouch began asking questions.
"Karkaroff, you say you know some names!" he snapped. "Please tell us."
"Okay, but you have to know." Karkaroff said hurriedly, "That mysterious man has always been very secretive. He wants us, I mean his henchmen, and I deeply regret that I was with them... ..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Moody said mockingly, raising his voice.
"We never knew the names of all our accomplices, only he knew who we were..."
"That's a smart move, isn't it, to keep people like you from selling 'em all out," grumbled Moody.
"Didn't you say you knew some names?" said Mr. Crouch in a flat voice.
"I, yes!" said Karkaroff breathlessly. "Please note that they are very important followers. I have seen them follow his orders with my own eyes, and I provide this information to prove that I am completely consistent with the He made a clean break and repented...."
"Say their names?!" snapped Mr. Crouch.
Karkaroff took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"There's Antonin Dolohov. I've seen him torture countless Muggles and people who don't support the Dark Lord."
"You helped him too!" muttered Moody.
"We've arrested Dolokhov!" said Crouch, "shortly after you were arrested."
"Really?!" Karkaroff widened his eyes, "I-I'm very happy!"
But he didn't look happy, and the news hit him hard.
Because one of the names in his hand is useless, his chips are a little less.
"Is there anything else?" Crouch asked coldly.
"Ah, and Rozier!" Karkaroff said hurriedly, "Evan Rozier."
"Rozier is dead," Crouch said. "He was also caught shortly after you, and he was killed in the struggle, not wanting to let him go."
"And took a little of my stuff." Moody.
Ivan and Harry turned to look at him, and he was pointing to the missing piece of his nose to show Dumbledore. (To be continued..) u For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
