Chapter 679 Heavyweight Trial

"This... this is what Rozier deserved!" Karkaroff's tone had really begun to panic.

It was obvious that he was beginning to worry that his information would be of no use to the Ministry.

Karkaroff glanced at the door in the corner, behind which the two dementors were undoubtedly still waiting.

Immediately afterwards, he named a few more names, but they were still rejected by Crouch one by one.

Said to be a trial, this is more like a bargaining process.

Karkaroff is indeed very cunning, but Crouch is obviously better, he can ask everything the other party knows.

"Is there anything else?" Crouch asked blankly.

"Wait, there's Travers!" Karkaroff said in a panic. "He helped murder the McKinnons! By the way, there's Mulciber, who specializes in the Imperius Curse, Forced many people to do terrible things! Luke Wood, he is a spy, providing useful information to You-Know-Who from within the Ministry of Magic!"

When he said Rookwood's name, there were whispers all around.

"Rookwood!" Mr. Crouch nodded to a witch sitting in front of him, and she wrote on the parchment, "August Rookwood of the Department of Mysteries?!"

"That's him!" Karkaroff said eagerly, "I believe he used a group of wizards stationed inside and outside the Ministry of Magic to gather information for him. Rookwood's position is very important, and he can get in touch with the Department of Mysteries... ..”

"Okay, the Travers and Mulciber you mentioned are what we already know." Crouch said, "Karkaroff, if that's all, you will be sent back to Azkaban, waiting for us Decide......"

"No!" Karkaroff yelled in despair, "Wait a minute, I still have more!"

In the light of the torch Harry saw him sipping juice, his pale skin contrasting sharply with his black beard and hair.

"Snape!" he cried, "Severus Snape!"

"Snape has been released by the Council!" Crouch said contemptuously. "Albus Dumbledore has vouched for him."

"No!" Karkaroff yelled, trying to break free from the chains that bound him to the chair, "I assure you, Severus Snape is a Death Eater, he is a Death Eaters!"

Dumbledore stood up, and many people looked at him.

"I've testified to it!" he said quietly. "Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater, but he took our side before Voldemort's downfall, at great risk. Danger spies for us. He's no more a Death Eater now than you and I."

"No!" Karkaroff said reluctantly, "he didn't..."

Speaking of which, Snape's role as a double agent was indeed very successful.

Both Dumbledore and Voldemort thought he was one of their own, and even these Death Eaters believed him, and it remained the same until Voldemort returned.

For this, even Ivan has to admire, except for Snape, I am afraid that no one can do it.

"Okay, Karkaroff!" Crouch said coldly, "You assisted us in our work, I will re-examine your case, you go back to Azkaban first..."

"Snape is..." Before Harry could comment on that, Crouch's voice faded away.

The dungeon is dissipating like smoke, everything fades away.

The two of them could only see their respective bodies - everything else turned into swirling darkness...

Then, the dungeon appeared again!

They took another seat, still the highest bench, now to Mr. Crouch's left.

The atmosphere seemed quite different from before: very relaxed, even cheerful.

The wizards on all sides were talking to each other, as if they were watching a sports game.

Alvin noticed a witch in the middle row opposite, with short blond hair, wearing a magenta robe, and sucking the tip of a dazzling green quill pen. There is no doubt that this is a younger Rita Skeeter .

His eyes swept over several people, Dumbledore was the same as before, and Moody was gone.

Mr. Crouch looked tired before, and he looked a little fierce, a little haggard...

The corner door opened and Ludo Bagman entered.

This is not an aging Ludo Bagman, but the Quidditch star Ludo Bagman in his prime.

The bridge of his nose was still intact, and his body was tall and thin, with a strong physique.

Bagman looked nervous as he sat down on the chained chair, but the chains didn't bind him. This may have lifted Bagman's spirits. He scanned the four-seat audience, waved to several people, and smiled.

"Ludo Bagman, you have been brought before the Council of Magical Laws to answer charges of your Death Eater activities," said Mr. Crouch. Do you have anything else to say before?"

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

One or two wizards in the surrounding seats smiled indulgently and nodded.

Mr. Crouch was unmoved, he looked down at Ludo Bagman with a serious and loathing expression.

"Bagman was once a Death Eater?" Harry asked in a low voice, surprised in his voice.

"No, as he himself said, he is a fool!" Ivan replied.

"Ludo Bagman, you were caught passing information to Voldemort's henchmen!" Mr. Crouch said. "For this reason, I recommend that you be imprisoned in Azkaban for at least..."

But there were angry shouts from all four seats, and several wizards stood up and shook their heads at Mr. Crouch, and even waved their fists.

"Barty, I told you, I didn't know!" Bagman's round blue eyes widened, and he shouted eagerly amidst the booing, "I didn't know that Rookwood was my father's friend! I I never thought he was under the mysterious man, I thought I was collecting intelligence for our people! Rookwood kept saying that he would find me a job in the Ministry of Magic, after I retired from the Quidditch team, You know, I can't be chased by Bludgers all my life, can I?"

There was another whisper, and giggles erupted from the audience.

"Vote," said Mr. Crouch grimly. "Attention the jury. A show of hand for a sentence of imprisonment. . . . "

Not a single hand was raised, and many wizards even started to applaud, and one of the witches in the jury stood up.

"What's going on?!" Crouch shouted loudly.

"We would like to congratulate Mr. Bagman for his excellent performance in the Quidditch match against Turkey last Saturday, winning glory for the British team." The witch said excitedly, "This is our honor!"

Mr. Crouch looked furious, and Bagman rose to his feet, bowed and smiled as the dungeon burst into applause.

"Bastard!" Mr. Crouch sat down when Bagman walked out of the dungeon, and said angrily to Dumbledore, "Rookwood really found him a job, Ludo Bagman came to work It will be an unfortunate day for the Ministry of Magic..."

Immediately afterwards, the dungeon disappeared again.

When it appeared again, Ivan, Harry, and Dumbledore were still sitting next to Mr. Crouch, and their positions had not changed.

But the atmosphere was very different, the room was very quiet, only the sobbing sound of a vulnerable witch next to Mr. Crouch was heard, she clutched a handkerchief to her mouth with trembling hands.

Ivan suddenly regained his energy. He knew that this was the trial of Barty Crouch Jr., and the critical moment came!

He also remembered that Sirius and Barty Crouch Jr. were sentenced on the same day.

Of course, Sirius was not tried at the time, he was imprisoned in Azkaban.

However, he must be here now! .
