Chapter 710 Subsequent Events

There was a brief silence in the office, and everyone was immersed in sadness.

It was only then that they noticed that Harry's arm was still bleeding, and Sirius rushed over to help him with the wound beneath his robes.

At the same time, Ivan also found a school uniform robe and put it on, and took off Gabriel's torn robe.

"I don't understand why Voldemort has to use Harry's blood?" Sirius asked, looking at Harry's wound.

"He said my blood would work better than anyone else's and would make him stronger," said Harry, holding out his arms to let Sirius bandage him. That power in my body, he wants to have it too. He was right, when he touches me later, he won't get hurt, after resurrection, he touches my face... "

For a brief moment, Harry seemed to see a gleam of joy in Dumbledore's eyes.

But Harry soon decided that he had been delusional, because Dumbledore immediately looked as old and tired as before.

"Voldemort has overcome that extraordinary obstacle!" said Dumbledore, turning his gaze to Barty Crouch Jr. in his chair. "It is an indisputable fact that he has returned. The question now is what should we do... ...Although we already know most of the facts, there are still some details that need to be clarified. Severus, please go and get your most powerful veritaserum, and then go to the kitchen to put a domestic animal named Winky The elf is here."

Snape nodded and turned away immediately.

"By the way, what happened after we left school?" Ivan asked, "Krum seems to have been under the Imperius Curse, is he okay?"

"He's fine, and he's being treated in the hospital now! After the three of you were taken away by the Portkey, the mermaids rushed up to report, and I was right next to this lunatic!" Sirius said, pointing at Barty Jr. Rauch, "I planned to catch him according to the plan, we fought, Fudge seemed to be frightened, and followed him to the school hospital. Then, we took him back to the castle, and he turned back to his original form on the way , Dumbledore said you two are here..."

Sirius recounted what happened after they left. He had a huge fight with Barty Crouch Jr., and a large group of mermaids came out to warn. The sudden change shocked everyone present. Mess up.

Until now, the outside of the castle is still in chaos. The professors are trying to maintain order and let the students go back to their common rooms.

Fortunately, except for Cedric who is still missing, there were no casualties, which is a blessing in misfortune.

The only one who was seriously injured was probably Ron, who was severely tortured by Krum with the Cruciatus Curse. Then, he was stunned and fell into the aquatic plants full of Grindylow. They probably regarded him as food and took a few bites...

Fortunately, the crying Myrtle was nearby, and she went to inform the others, and the nearby mermaid rescued him.

"Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be Moody, where's the real Moody?" Harry asked.

"No accident, it should be in this room. They need to keep him alive, take him with him, and take a part of him at any time to make Polyjuice Potion." Dumbledore said, Barty Crouch from childhood He found a key on his body.

He took the key and went straight to the box with seven locks in the corner, and inserted the first key into the lock.

Dumbledore opened the box, and inside was a pile of spell books.

He closed the box, inserted the second key into the second lock, and opened it again. Inside the box was no longer a spell book, but various broken looking glasses, some parchments and quills, and a silver invisibility cloak.

"It's the seventh, Professor!" Ivan reminded, knowing what he was going to do.

Dumbledore put the seventh key in the lock and lifted the lid, Harry and Sirius screamed at the same time.

Under the box is a large pit, like a basement.

Lying on the floor about three meters deep, a scrawny man who seemed to be asleep, was the real Mad-Eye Moody.

His wooden legs were gone, the magic eye was hollow under the eyelids, and several strands of his gray hair were missing.

Dumbledore climbed into the box and landed softly beside the sleeping Moody, bending over him.

"He passed out, was hit by the Imperius Curse, and is very weak." He said, "But fortunately, his life is not in danger, and Mrs. Pontjanfrey will take care of him for a while, and he will gradually get better. "

Dumbledore and Sirius lifted Moody up and laid him down on the sofa by the fire.

Just then there were hurried footsteps in the corridor, and Snape returned, looking scruffy and winky.

Winky poked her head out from Snape's feet, and all at once saw Barty Crouch Jr. strapped to the chair.

She opened her mouth wide and let out a piercing scream.

"Master Barty, Master Barty, what are you doing here?" she screamed, rushing forward, "You killed him! You killed him! You killed the master's son!"

"We just subdued him, Winky," said Dumbledore. "Get out of the way, Severus, is the potion here?"

Snape handed Dumbledore a vial of clear liquid, a potent veritaserum he had brewed.

Dumbledore opened Barty Crouch Jr.'s mouth and poured three drops of the potion into it.

Winky was still kneeling there, covering her face with her hands, trembling all over, watching them in horror.

Seconds later, Barty Crouch Jr. opened his eyes, his eyes glazed over and his cheeks slack.

Dumbledore crouched in front of him, face to face with him.

"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"I can hear you." He whispered, his eyelids quivering a few times.

"Very well, the Veritaserum is working, we'd better start with the simple questions!" Dumbledore said softly, "I want you to tell us how you got here, how did you get out of Azkaban?" escaped?"

Crouch Jr. took a shaky, deep breath, and spoke in a deadpan tone.

"My mother saved me and she knew she was going to die and begged my father to get me out as the last thing she could do for her. My father loved her very much even though he never loved me. He agreed and they came to watch Me, give me a Polyjuice Potion with my mother's hair in it. Mother takes a Polyjuice Potion with my hair in it, and we swap looks."

Winky shook her head, trembling all over.

"Stop it, Master Batty, stop it, you will cause trouble for your father!"

But Little Crouch took another deep breath and continued in a flat voice.

"Dementors are blind, they can't see. They smell a healthy man and a dying man walking into Azkaban, and they smell a healthy man and a dying man leaving Azkaban. I My father smuggled me out. I pretended to be my mother, so that no prisoner could see through the door. My mother died not long after she was in Azkaban. She never forgot to drink Polyjuice Potion. When I died, I still looked like me, and was buried as me, and everyone thought it was me."
