The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Borns looked at Crouch's reaction, keenly aware of a trace of abnormality. To be fair, Dumbledore was just a little rude, but Crouch's reaction was just too weird.

There is something in that room that cannot be shown. Burns immediately found the source of the anomaly.

What could it be? She was thinking in her mind.

At this time, Dumbledore had entered the room that made the abnormal noise. He had learned Crouch's little secret from Tom's mouth long before that. Tom's excuse is still very persuasive in a way: While chatting with the dementors, he learned something strange: someone had died in Azkaban. This is not a strange thing in itself, and many people have died in Azkaban, but the dementors say that the dead person is not the same person who was imprisoned.

Strange as it may be, the Dementors don't bother to bother with this sort of thing - this is a tangle between wizards, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, the number is correct.

Dementors are very Buddhist, they patrol every day, absorb a wave of prisoners' emotions, and at the same time guard the prisoners and prevent them from running out. After Sirius escaped from prison, the Dementors searched so aggressively, mainly because they could absorb the emotions of some passers-by with the acquiescence of the Ministry of Magic when they went out to work. As for Sirius, if he ran, he ran away, no big deal.

That's why they were so angry when they were banned from Hogwarts, and then expelled from Hogsmeade: if they didn't eat, of course they were angry.

Tom's statement is much more reliable than saying that he guessed it from stargazing/crystal ball/dream. So Dumbledore really believed it. Today he came to Crouch's house to verify Tom's statement. All his actions just now were designed to numb Crouch and let him relax his vigilance.

After hearing the abnormal noise, Dumbledore made up his mind that he must search Crouch's house again today. He pushed open the door of the room, and there was no one in it, but Dumbledore's eyes were instantly locked in the corner of the room.

The empty room gave Crouch a dash of courage, and he stood up straight and was about to say something when he saw Dumbledore take out his wand.

"Doll Appearance ()!"

In fact, Dumbledore was completely superfluous. Dumbledore can cast the "Invisibility" spell silently and without a staff. In front of this spell, invisibility cloaks and invisibility cloaks are the same as non-existence - including the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak, and nothing in front of Dumbledore's gaze. Escape.

Dumbledore may be the wizard who is best at using the humanoid manifestation spell in the magical world, because he is so familiar with this spell that he has almost formed a conditioned reflex, turning his active skills into passive skills, just like his Legilimency, They don't need a wand, they can be read without speaking.

And we have reason to believe that Dumbledore will use "Human Appearance" every time he goes to a new environment, because when Dumbledore and Fudge entered Hagrid's cabin, they saw Harry and Fudge in invisibility cloaks for the first time. Ron...that's the best proof.

Don't look at Dumbledore's use of this spell like a passive skill, very few people in the wizarding world know this spell. There are only two people who can see through the Invisibility Cloak steadily and silently at the moment: Dumbledore and Moody - Moody did it through the magic eye.

Still, Dumbledore drew his wand and uttered the spell.

As if there was a breeze blowing, a young man with blond hair appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Old Barty Crouch's face suddenly turned dead gray.

When Burns saw the young man's face clearly, his face changed greatly - she knew this man, his name was Barty Crouch Jr., the only child of old Barty beside her.

This person, it stands to reason, was sent to Azkaban by his father more than ten years ago and died in prison. How could he appear here? !

Borns looked at Crouch's dead face, and had a bold idea in his heart: Did Crouch do something in it?

The young man's expression was sullen, and the skin on his face showed an unhealthy pallor due to being at home all the year round, and because of this pale skin, the freckles on the man's face became more conspicuous. There was something wrong with his state, because even though Dumbledore and others suddenly appeared in front of him, the man did not respond.

Dumbledore walked up to the man, observed him for a few seconds, then turned to look at Crouch, and said in a regretful tone: "Barty, I really didn't think... how long did you take your son to rob you? Soul curse?"

"Imperial Curse?!" Burns exclaimed, looking at old Crouch in disbelief. In her impression, old Crouch was an upright, ruthless person, but this image collapsed in a few minutes: abusing his power to change his position, using the Imperius Curse for a long time to control his son...

Sr. Barty Crouch~www.wuxiamtl.com~ How much more do you have that the Secretary doesn't know?

Crouch had completely given up resistance. He was like a prisoner who had been exposed by detectives to all his criminal methods, and he began to explain his experiences over the past ten years like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It turned out that after the little Crouch was imprisoned, his mother was devastated and finally begged the old Crouch to save the little Crouch from prison before dying. Old Crouch agreed, because he really loved his wife. So when visiting prison, little Crouch took the compound decoction with his mother's hair, and Mrs. Crouch took the compound decoction with his son's hair.

The two sides exchanged identities and appearances in this way.

In this way, old Crouch successfully escaped the sky and rescued his child from Azkaban. Mrs. Crouch stayed in Azkaban in place of her child. In the endless despair, she also did not forget to take the compound decoction regularly, and even when she was dying, she did not forget to take the compound decoction.

So, when she died, she still maintained the appearance of little Crouch, and everyone, including Burns, thought that the person who died in Azkaban was little Crouch.

After the little Crouch was brought out, the old Crouch announced his wife's death and held a secret funeral. In fact, if someone had dug up Mrs. Crouch's grave, they would have found the chamber empty.

Since then, little Crouch has been locked up in the Crouch home, living in an invisibility cloak all day long, with the house-elf Wink taking care of him, until Dumbledore brings the Minister of Magic to the door.
