Harry Potter and the Old Ones Chapter 365

In this way, Tiera successfully found something for Hermione to do, saving her too much leisure.

Sure enough, as soon as the afternoon Defence Against the Dark Arts class ended, Hermione pulled Ron and Harry to block Professor Moody, ready to ask him about Barty Crouch.

And Tierra—

Taking this opportunity, he turned his head and ran, and hurriedly returned to Slytherin's secret room, ready to continue his calculations.

But within a few days, exactly two weeks before the game, Barty Crouch was found—

Beside the carriage of Beauxbatons was found his dead body as dry as firewood. Judging from the wounds on the body, it seems that the throat was first cut with a dagger, and then quickly created using household magic, a dehydration spell. Such a corpse.

It was Fleur Delacour who first discovered Barty Crouch's body. If it weren't for the clothes on his body, it is very likely that no one would have recognized that such a mummified corpse would be the once meticulous Barty Crouch.

It was an early morning, and Fleur Delacour screamed immediately, waking up Beauxbatons' teachers and classmates, and also Hagrid, who had grown up drinking Veritaserum, who kept his mouth shut. The bottle of bottle Hagrid means--

It means that before breakfast, the entire Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students and teachers knew the news of Barty Crouch's murder.

And the people in the magic world who lacked normal logic and awareness of reconnaissance had already destroyed the corpse site before the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic arrived——

Almost everyone went to see Barty Crouch's body in front of Beauxbatons' magic carriage.

And the matter of Barty Crouch's murder quickly fermented before lunch. That morning, the owls in the Hogwarts Owl House were swept away by the students—

Almost all of them were sent out to deliver letters to their parents.

Due to the trend of public opinion, the current Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge had to visit Hogwarts again——

With the strongest Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt by his side, Dolores Umbridge, Senior Deputy Minister of Magic, and Gilderoy Lockhart, the first author of the magical world—

Yes, before leaving, Cornelius Fudge personally went to No. 22 Baker Street, London, and was honored by the Daily Prophet as the great wizard Gilderoy Lockhart, who was comparable to Dumbledore.

The news of Fudge's visit was quickly told to Tiera by Dobby, who stayed at the Baker Street mansion. Tiera felt that it was profitable, so she put on the "parasite" and went out in person.

In this way, Fudge and his party came to the headmaster's office in Hogwarts, facing Dumbledore who was standing behind the headmaster's desk——

It seems that only in this way can Cornelius Fudge have the confidence to speak to Dumbledore.

At first, the conversation between them was normal. Although the room was full of fake polite words, at least there was no dispute.

But when Dumbledore took advantage of the opportunity to bring up Bertha Jorkins who had disappeared before and the Mark of the Dark Lord that happened at the Quidditch World Cup, Cornelius Fudge's attitude suddenly became serious.

When Dumbledore proposed to cancel the Triwizard Tournament—

Fudge looked at Dumbledore as if Dumbledore had played with and killed his father.

"Dumbledore, I don't see any connection, not at all!" In the face of Dumbledore's suggestion to cancel the Triwizard Tournament, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said impassively, "Ludo Said Bertha was probably lost, and I think it's time to find her, but anyway, we didn't find any signs of an act, Dumbledore, not at all. As for her disappearance, Batycroft Odd's death and the Dark Lord's mark at the Quidditch World Cup are all just playing the piano!"

"Then Minister, why do you think Barty Crouch was there, next to Beauxbatons' carriage?" said Moody's gruff voice, "or who killed him and put him on the cloth. Next to Sparton's carriage?"

Isn't that the filial son of you? Tiera said in her heart while leaning against a corner of Dumbledore's office wall to watch the play.

"I think there are two possibilities, Alastor," said Fudge somewhat stiffly. "Crouch is either completely insane - from his personal experience, it's very likely, and I think you agree - - he went mad, stupefied, didn't know where he was going - and then, and probably didn't know what spell he was using...and he dried himself !"

"If that's the case, then he's too sick, Connelly," said Dumbledore calmly, "perhaps you didn't listen carefully when you were in school, trying to take a magical creature like a grown-up wizard completely out of your mind. Drying requires at least three stages of spell use, and drying himself with a dehydration spell without realizing it is as ridiculous as eight shots in the back."

"Either—maybe..." Fudge's voice became increasingly embarrassed, "maybe, we'll have to wait until our Aurors have seen his body and where he was found before making a judgment. Found next to Sparton's carriage? Dumbledore, do you know the details of that woman?"

"I think she's a very capable headmistress—and dances well," said Dumbledore calmly.

"Okay, Dumbledore!" said Fudge angrily. "Don't you think you're favoring her for Hagrid's sake? They're not all harmless--if you can say Hagrid is harmless. , then his obsession with giant monsters—"

"I have as much confidence in Madame Maxime as I do in Hagrid," Dumbledore replied, still so peacefully, "I think it may be that you are prejudiced, Connelly."

"Excuse my interjection," said Tiera, or "Gidero Lockhart".

"Do you have any advice, Mr. Lockhart?" Fudge said politely.

Even Dumbledore and Moody have their sights set on Gilderoy Lockhart.

"I have a doubt." Tiera said, considering his words, "If there is a murderer...he, or why did they put Barty Crouch's body in front of Beauxbatons' carriage?"

Cornelius Fudge seemed stunned for a moment, and even Dumbledore showed interest—

"Go on," Dumbledore said.

"I mean, Mr. Bartty Crouch has been dried so much that even a first-year wizard can easily carry a corpse with a floating spell, and even any fourth-year or above wizard can You can use a fiery spell or boil a pot of Booth potion to corrode the corpse." Tiera deliberately imitated Gilderoy Lockhart's smug and greasy look.

"Let's come to the conclusion, Mr. Lockhart," Dumbledore said.

"But the murderer didn't destroy the corpse, but put the corpse in the most conspicuous place."

"Gildrow Lockhart" said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ so I think killing Barty Crouch was just one of them, maybe Mr. Barty Crouch spied some conspiracy by accident, maybe it was just Barty Crouch Mr. Rauch was the best victim for their request, but I think the murderer killed and dried Mr. Barty Crouch for a very simple purpose—"

"Easy to store." Gilderoy Lockhart said after a pause.

"You mean..." Dumbledore said gloomily.

"I mean Barty Crouch was probably killed the day he disappeared, but it took so many days for the killer to get the body out, especially when he could easily destroy it. , but chose such a blatant way of dealing with it." Gilderoy Lockhart said, "So I think whether there is a direct interest or emotional conflict between the murderer himself and Barty Crouch, this matter we can no longer I know, but what is certain is that the murderer deliberately exposed Mr. Barty Crouch's body for only one purpose—"

"That is to divert attention! Create a fog bomb for his next bigger conspiracy!" Gilderoy Lockhart asserted firmly, and after that, regardless of Connelly Fudge's unbelievable expression, he looked at Moody ——

"Professor Moody, do you think my analysis is correct?"
