Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Glenn took out his wand from his arms and lifted the spell from the real Moody.

"Who are you!"

This was Mad-Eye's first words after waking up. Even after being controlled for so long, he still maintained his instinctive vigilance.

Not only that, he even struggled to get up, seemingly trying to catch Glenn using non-magical means.

However, he was too weak after all, and failed to complete the expected movements smoothly, so he fell down again.

"Be careful!" Glenn quickly supported him, "Don't worry, Professor Moody, Dumbledore asked me to help you. We have caught Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be you."

Even though Glenn had clearly expressed his intention, Moody, who was extremely insecure, still looked at him with an "I don't believe it" expression and stared at him warily.

"Qiu, drop that package." Glenn sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to ask Qiu to return the equipment that Moody had exploded to him.

It wasn't until he put on his prosthetic leg and put the magic eye back into his eye socket that Mad-Eye, holding the wand in his hand, relaxed a little.

"How did you know I was here?" he asked dryly.

"It's a long story." Glenn shrugged, "I suggest you come with us to the campus hospital. Once you meet Dumbledore and Barty Crouch Jr., I think it will be much easier to explain.

.”

"Okay." Moody nodded and climbed out of the box with Glenn's help.

Nearly a whole year of detention had made this once very powerful Auror extremely weak. Even though the distance was only one floor, it took more than ten minutes to arrive.

Fortunately, Dumbledore had asked Madam Pomfrey to prepare nutrients for him to restore his strength.

After taking a cup of magic potion, his energy obviously improved a lot, and now he was looking fiercely at Little Crouch who was still in a coma.

At this time, Fudge's face was much uglier than before. He glanced at Lockhart several times, but received no response. Fortunately, his other confidant-Umbridge was still standing beside him.

aside.

Professor Snape, who was arranged to get the Veritaserum, has also returned, bringing with him the great reporter Rita Skeeter.

"It's almost time to start." Dumbledore nodded towards Snape and said.

"Ahem..." Umbridge, who had been a little transparent for a whole year, finally found an opportunity and interrupted, "I think the task of interrogating criminals should be left to the Ministry of Magic, isn't it, Mr. Minister?

?」

"Yes!" Fudge immediately cheered up after hearing this. "I have to say, Albus, even if you are a member of the Wizengamot, it is somewhat over the line to judge criminals privately."

"Of course." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "But I personally think that this may not be a trial in the strict sense. As a victim, I think Harry is qualified to hear what really happened."

Seeing that Fudge still wanted to speak, he quickly added: "Of course, Connelly, I think recognizing the truth will help you make a better judgment."

"You..." The Minister was speechless for a moment. He could only watch helplessly as Snape opened Little Crouch's mouth and poured in three drops of colorless and odorless clarifying potion.

"Resume quickly." He put away the bottle, took out his wand and muttered.

There was a flash of light, and Little Crouch slowly opened his eyes. Due to the Veritaserum, his eyes looked dull and his cheeks were slack.

"Don't forget, Albus, the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot have strict rules regarding Veritaserum, unless..."

Fudge couldn't help but speak again, as if he was still trying to stop Dumbledore from letting Crouch Jr. speak, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Of course I remember the relevant regulations. After all, I wrote this part myself." Dumbledore said with a smile. "Obviously, the danger Harry just experienced is enough to be regarded as a special situation."

"Okay." He ignored Fudge and turned to Crouch Jr. and asked, "I think you can hear me?"

Crouch Jr. looked up at him and nodded numbly.

In fact, truth serum

The effect is not omnipotent. Strong willpower and Occlumency can affect the efficacy of the drug to a greater or lesser extent. However, this is why the Ministry of Magic will not use this potion in formal trials.

However, although Crouch Jr. can resist the Imperius Curse to a certain extent, it turns out that he cannot escape the effects of this most powerful Veritaserum.

"I want you to tell us," Dumbledore did not rush to ask him about tonight, but first mentioned his escape from prison, "Why are you here? How did you escape from Azkaban?

"

Under the influence of Veritaserum, Crouch Jr. revealed everything he knew and escaped from the situation where he escaped from Azkaban and was imprisoned by his father.

Rita Skeeter seemed to have heard something extraordinary, her face was full of joy, and her shorthand quill kept brushing on her notebook.

"If I remember correctly, Cornelius, I have warned you more than once not to trust those dementors too blindly." Dumbledore glanced at Fudge and said meaningfully.

"This is just an accident...because of Crouch..." Fudge looked for an excuse with an ugly face.

Dumbledore had no intention of hearing his response and continued to ask, "So, is your father, Barty Crouch, one of the Death Eaters?"

"Him? How is that possible?" Little Crouch sneered as if he heard some big joke, and said disdainfully, "With his pedantic character, it would be better to let him get involved with black magic than to kill him.

And it makes him feel uncomfortable!"

Hearing his answer, most people took a breath. You know, just less than a year ago, the Ministry of Magic had just let the dementors suck away Lao Ke in the name of the remaining Death Eaters.

Rauch's soul.

"Doesn't that mean..." Skeeter looked at Fudge subconsciously with a shocked face, "The Ministry of Magic's verdict on Barty Crouch..."

She shuddered and did not dare to continue talking.

"You don't believe this lunatic's nonsense, do you?" Fudge said obviously panicked, "We all saw it with our own eyes. He organized the attack at the World Cup final!"

Dumbledore looked at him deeply and asked: "So, what was the reason for the attack that night?"

Little Crouch did not answer immediately, but showed an expression of fanatical admiration and looked into the distance outside the window.

"The great Dark Lord has wisdom that you can't imagine!" He said proudly, "He used the Imperius Curse to control my father, just like he did to me, and then launched an attack. The Dark Lord knew that Fudge would not

You will believe the news of his return, and you will only think that it is a reason you made up to seize power from him..."
