Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 301 No such person found? !

"Legal Enforcement Division, Wizengamot Trial Files, Time: 1981... Well, to be on the safe side, 1982 will also be added. Judge: Barty Crouch, key search keywords, Death Eaters , Ludo Bagman..."

The dark and dark room was silent. Only a few occasional rays of magical fluorescence could illuminate the interior of the room, allowing people to vaguely see the black shadows of rows of huge bookshelves, as well as the bookshelf that almost filled every row. folder.

And among the rows of bookshelves, there was actually a dark figure standing. The magic fluorescence slightly illuminated his chin exposed to the air, while other parts were tightly covered by the cloak. His hands were dancing rapidly, as if he was performing some precise operation, and he kept mumbling keywords in his mouth, as if a hacker had physically hacked into the server and was professionally decoding computer information...

But in fact, these are just actions added by Avada himself, simply because he thinks they are cool. There is no computer in front of him that can directly query keywords, but a large mountain of paper that he has to flip through one by one...

That's right, he sneaked straight into the Ministry of Magic's archives.

To be precise, it's the archives room of the Law Enforcement Division.

One day ago, after Miranda Gorshak told him that Bagman and Crouch still had a past, he hesitated for a while about those people who might know the inside story and who to ask about these things... ...As a result, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he could go directly to the archives to look up information as if he were in a deserted place.

Anyway, Nobic University, which has absorbed two Ministers of Magic, has a detailed map of the Ministry of Magic. With a little search, he can find the location of the archives, and then he can sneak in directly using the So Far Curse, and the surrounding ones Heap detection and alarm magic are basically useless to him...

'However, the Ministry of Magic's care of the data is too lax. ’

While he was quickly rummaging through the files in front of him with his hand of glory, he silently complained in his heart: "There is no one to guard such an important place like the archives room... I probably understand why Voldemort was like this back then." Easily invade the Department of Mysteries. ’

"The Death Eater trial files after the end of the First Wizarding War...ha, it was in 1982. Fortunately, I paid attention."

"Let me take a look... Lucius, Bellatrix, Barty Jr., Yaxley, Avery... I found the trial file of Ludo Bagman!"

"The judge is Barty Crouch. The crime is... suspected of colluding with the Death Eaters and providing intelligence to the Death Eaters. The specific name of the Death Eater involved is... August Rookwood."

"Confessions and evidence...according to Bagman, he did not know that Rookwood was a Death Eater. In fact, Rookwood was a friend of Bagman's father, and he persuaded Bagman to give him some information, and I can find him a job at the Ministry of Magic...

"Barty Crouch tried hard to convict Bagman during the trial and send him to Azkaban, but failed due to a severe lack of evidence and the outcry of many wizards on the jury... at that time He was probably crazy and wanted to throw him into Azkaban whenever he saw the person sitting on the trial bench...In the end, the charges against Ludo Bagman were dropped."

"The fact that he was a very famous Quidditch player at the time was one of the reasons why the charges were dropped. Even during the trial, one of the jury witches stood up and congratulated Bagman on his performance in the previous game. Outstanding…ridiculous.”

Avada rubbed his forehead and became more aware of the chaos of the trial after the mass arrests. Then he continued to read the file: "It seems like this is just a normal trial, Ludo Bugg." Mann may have a grudge against Crouch for this matter, but it’s not like he would cause any harm to anyone... Is there any other information?”

"That's right! The Death Eater involved, August Rookwood... If this murder is still a conspiracy by the ultra-pure-blood faction, then it is 80% likely to be related to the Death Eaters!"

Following the guidance in the footnote, Avada quickly found the trial files of the Death Eater named August Rookwood: "He was originally an employee of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, but was secretly captured by Voldemort. He developed into a Death Eater and was accused of leaking a large amount of confidential information from the Ministry of Magic to the Death Eaters. He was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. The judge was still Barty Crouch... This is nothing special. ?”

"Look through it carefully and see if you can find more relevant information about this Rookwood... I hope they are here, otherwise I may have to go to the archives of the Auror office..."

"Well, I found it - "August Rookwood's Arrest File"..."

After rummaging for a while, Avada finally pulled out a document from the middle of a large pile of thick parchment and read it. It recorded the entire process of Rookwood from being targeted to being controlled by the Aurors. , including the specific actions of the Auror team at that time, Luke Wood's reaction, and the complete dialogue and actions that took place at that time...

"Based on the information provided by Mr. Igor Karkarov, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, decided to list August Rookwood, a member of the Department of Mysteries, as a suspected Death Eater, and approved Aurors will arrest him as soon as possible..."

"Wait, Igor Karkaroff?!"

Just glancing at the first line of content, Avada felt like she was struck by lightning. She almost couldn't hold the document and let it fall to the ground: "Lukewood's identity was provided by Karkaroff. ?!”

"By the way, I remember that Karkaroff was originally a member of the Death Eaters, and was caught by Crouch at the first opportunity... and the reason why he was able to escape intact in the end was because he Barty Crouch revealed the identities of a large number of lurking Death Eaters in exchange for the Ministry of Magic to give him a wide berth...including Bagman's friend Luke Wood?!"

"Bagman, Crouch, Karkaroff...these three referees in the Triwizard Tournament are connected on Lukewood's line!"

Even though he was using a wooden body, Avada couldn't help but feel his heart pounding - he had a hunch that the cause of Ludo Bagman's death was hidden in this clue called "Lukewood" !

"Don't worry, let's take a look at Karkaroff's trial files first. Maybe there is some important information that has not been discovered..."

He subconsciously took a deep breath, then suppressed his excitement, carefully rummaged through the files with the most serious and calm attitude, paying attention to the name "Igor Karkarov" everywhere, hoping to Again what useful information.

However, after three extremely rigorous searches...

"……No?!"

Avada fell into a daze for a moment: "There are no arrest and trial files for Karkaroff?!"

"That is to say, according to the records of the Ministry of Magic, Karkaroff has never had contact with the Department of Legal Enforcement or Aurors?! Then why was he caught by Crouch? He spit out so many Death Eaters What’s going on with his name?!”

"This is not my unfounded guess. This is something clearly written in the original book - Karkaroff was originally a captured Death Eater, but he was killed because he used the information in his hands to make a deal with Crouch. Jail avoided!”

"And now... Karkaroff's name doesn't even appear in the files of the Legal Enforcement Department?!"
