Harry Potter and Master of Magic

Chapter 2 Interrogating Barty Crouch Jr.

A man stood in the doorway, leaning on a long cane and wrapped in a black traveling cloak.

Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the stranger, and suddenly a forked lightning flashed across the ceiling, illuminating the stranger.

Zhang Hao knew who this was, he sneered secretly: "God really gave this guy face, look at this momentum!"

The man took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and started walking towards the staff desk.

thump! thump! thump...

With every step he took, a hollow voice echoed through the auditorium.

He walked to the light, and everyone finally saw his face clearly.

It was a face like a wood carving, and the sculptor should have only a vague concept of the human face, and he was not even good at using a carving knife, so that every inch of the skin on this face was scarred, and the mouth Like a big crooked opening, where the nose should have been raised was missing.

This is really night can stop children crying ah!

Zhang Hao sneered, pulled out his wand, and read aloud: "Spa Hungry Riverio (revealed in original form)!"

The spell hit the visitor in a flash, and the visitor only cared about acting aggressively, without any defense at all.

Everyone was stunned, and no one knew why Zhang Hao would explode into trouble.

The professors on the teaching staff stood up in unison. They didn't pay attention to Zhang Hao, but stared at the person who came—everyone could hear that Zhang Hao was reciting the restoration spell, which is not harmful to normal people. harm.

"ah!"

The man twitched, his face, body shape, voice...everything except his clothes was changing.

He also seemed to feel bad, struggling to lift his crutches.

This time without Zhang Hao's action, Snape had already cast a disarm spell.

The long and thick cane flew out of nowhere and landed in Snape's hands. He seemed to hand it to Dumbledore beside him at a glance.

Then they surrounded them together, and surrounded the newcomers.

It wasn't until this time that the students reacted.

"What happened? Who is that guy? Why did Zhang Hao attack him?"

"It's Polyjuice Potion, and that's a pretender taking Polyjuice Potion!"

"Oh! I know that, but who is he pretending to be? And why would he do it?"

"Wait a minute! Perhaps the professors will soon find out the truth, and they will explain."

At this time, the change of the Pretender is coming to an end.

The scars on his face began to fade, and a fake eyeball popped out of his eye.

The eyeball landed on the ground and jumped wildly, like a Dunkel long-legged flea (a magical creature the size of a fingernail).

The pretender panted heavily, trying to recover from the sudden change.

Although the auditorium was brightly lit, this man's face was covered by his hair, and he was temporarily hidden in the shadows.

Zhang Hao approached slowly, straightened his face with his magic wand, glanced at the eyes of the professors, and asked with a smile, "Does anyone know this man?"

Professor McGonagall recognized it for a moment, and said in surprise: "Barty Crouch? Barty Crouch Jr.? Isn't he in Azkaban? He pretended to be Professor Moody?"

"That's not the point...the point is where did Alastor (Moody's full name Alastor Moody) go?"

Dumbledore's face was very ugly, he was worried about Moody's safety: "Severus, go find it, we must find Alastor as soon as possible."

Zhang Hao reminded: "Maybe you can check Professor Moody's luggage. I don't think this Death Eater will bring his own things into Hogwarts."

Snape left with a cold snort, his resolute style is really charming!

"Hagrid, lock him up first!" Dumbledore whispered, "The opening ceremony will continue, we'll deal with him later."

He glanced at Zhang Hao, and took the lead to walk to the teaching staff.

The old man made a bad start, and the others also stared at Zhang Hao when they left.

Hagrid shrugged at Zhang Hao,

Then he tucked Barty Crouch Jr. under his arm, and walked to the small room on the side - it was usually used as a stop for first-year students when they first arrived.

When this happened, everyone was a little worried.

But what should be done is still to be done, Dumbledore cleared his throat, and said seriously: "As I said just now, in the next few months, we will be very honored to host the very exciting events of Vision. The event has not been held in over a century, and it is with great pleasure that I report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."

The audience suddenly became noisy, everyone who knew or didn't know was talking about it, and everyone was asking what the Triwizard Tournament was.

"Are you kidding?" said Fred Weasley loudly.

The previous tense atmosphere was suddenly broken, and almost everyone laughed out loud.

Dumbledore chuckled and said, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley. But since you mentioned joking, I've heard an interesting joke about a troll, a hag and a leprechaun, They went into the same tavern..."

Seeing that Old Deng's head was getting more and more outrageous, Professor McGonagall interrupted him with a light cough.

"Oh! It's probably inappropriate to say this now, let's continue talking about the Triwizard Tournament..."

The old Dengtou, Ula Ula, stopped talking about the origin of the Triwizard Tournament until now. After successfully arousing everyone's interest, he told everyone that they cannot participate if they are not seventeen years old.

Now he really provoked public outrage, and many people voiced their opposition.

Draco got up and said, "Professor, that's not fair! Why don't people under seventeen participate?"

Dumbledore said kindly: "This is also a protective measure for everyone's safety, I hope everyone can understand."

"Protection? What if some people don't need protection?" Draco glared at Zhang Hao cunningly, and said loudly: "As we all know, some of us in Slytherin can defeat the professor in the third year, do such people still need protection? "

"Yeah! That's the reason, you can defeat the professor... who can protect him?"

"He must be allowed to participate, otherwise we will not recognize this year's Goblet of Fire brave."

"The real strong are not allowed to participate. What's the point of this kind of competition? It's really unfair!"

Zhang Hao smiled, these guys really don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement!

He didn't stop him, just watched them making noise quietly.

Anyway, it is a good thing for him to be able to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, at least if he wins, he will get a thousand gold Galleons!

Dumbledore looked around, frowned and said, "Be quiet! I will discuss the age limit with the principals of the other two schools. But don't expect it to happen, after all, many of you really don't have the skills The strength of the competition."

All right!

Many people choose to keep their mouths shut, what else can they do if the headmaster says this?

Obviously, everyone is still a little dissatisfied.

Dumbledore also noticed it, but he had nothing to do, he could only change the subject and said, "Let's talk about the last thing today, let's tell everyone! This year, we will open a new course at Hogwarts—Study of Extraterrestrial Civilizations." Section. Next, welcome to the professor of this course - Laurana (does anyone know Laurana? If you are interested, you can Baidu "Underground Castle 2 Laurana")! "

The black-robed witch who had been sitting silently on the teaching staff rose gracefully and bowed to everyone.

Discussions rang out again from the audience, and everyone was obviously very interested in the new courses and new professors.

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was completely confused.

This new professor named Laurana was the black-cloaked witch he had met once at the fence.

Compared with before, the strange aura on Laurana's body has faded a lot.

"You may have guessed it. Yes, Professor Laurana is from another world." Dumbledore said with a serious expression: "She will guide us to understand that unknown world in a friendly manner. I hope everyone can study her courses seriously."

Zhang Hao felt a little pain in the head, this woman is really an alien, no wonder it was so difficult to meet and communicate for the first time!

But shouldn't aliens be hiding?

How dare she appear in front of the aborigines openly?

And even appeared in front of the aboriginal big boss?

So weird!

After talking about the Foreign Civilization Research Section, Snape finally brought Zhen Moody.

The old Auror's mental state is not good, he seems to have suffered some torture - some spells can affect a person's mental state.

Although the state is not good, Moody still insisted on saying hello to everyone.

But being put down by Death Eaters from the very beginning was a big blow to his reputation!

After Moody met with everyone, the opening ceremony ended.

Dumbledore said by name: "Mr. Zhang Hao stays, the others can go back."

After the students left, they came to the room where Barty Crouch Jr. was held together.

Barty Crouch Jr. is much calmer now - although he's still pretty crazy compared to others.

"How did you see through me? Brat?" He stared at Zhang Hao with hatred, his tongue was like a snake letter, and could vibrate at a very high frequency.

Zhang Hao curled his lips and said, "You smell very strongly of compound decoction. I'm sorry, I'm very sensitive to some medicines. Also, do you think you can hide from me what you are going to do?"

It was real, he did smell Polyjuice Potion.

"You?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "You mean he has accomplices?"

"Of course, he does have accomplices." Professor Moody said with an ugly face: "Otherwise, how could he beat me by himself?"

It was really not a pleasant experience for Moody to hunt geese all day long but be blinded by geese.

"Then who is he shooting with?" Snape asked suspiciously: "The other person must have a lot of strength, right?"

Zhang Hao lazily said: "We have a lot to know, why don't we use some Veritaserum? I think... this Death Eater must know more than Professor Moody."

Barty Crouch Jr.'s face changed drastically, and he kept sticking out his tongue, as if he wanted to bite his tongue off.

Veritaserum can make people talk, but it can't make people write.

Biting off the tongue is really a very good means of keeping secrets!

Snape reacted quickly, he grabbed Barty Crouch Jr. by the neck and squeezed his chin.

Then he took out a lower bottle from his pocket—it was the same one he had left over from the last time he dealt with Peter Pettigrew.

After pouring down half a bottle of Veritaserum, Snape said triumphantly, "With so much Veritaserum, he can tell everything, who will ask first?"

Professor McGonagall asked impatiently: "Who did you attack Alastor with?"

Barty Crouch Jr. tried to resist, but was unsuccessful. He said with difficulty: "Yes...it's the black-robed wizard Yu'er, he and I stunned Mad-Eye Moody..."

"Yu Er, the black robe wizard? Where is Voldemort now?" Dumbledore stared at Barty Crouch Jr. and asked, "Did he plan the attack on Alastor?"

"The Dark Lord is at Riddle House in Little Hangleton, and he wants me to pretend to be Mad-Eye Moody and try to bring Harry Potter to him."

Zhang Hao frowned and asked, "Is Voldemort resurrected? Is he fully resurrected? Was Voldemort responsible for the massacre in the Albanian village before? If it wasn't him, then who did it?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, they haven't linked the Albanian murder case to Voldemort yet!

Thinking about it carefully, they also felt that this matter might have something to do with Voldemort.

Barty Crouch Jr. gritted his teeth, and said intermittently: "Yuer did it...he used a weird blood sacrifice...to resurrect the Dark Lord..."

hiss!

Everyone gasped, the Dark Lord was resurrected!

Zhang Hao had been mentally prepared for a long time. He sneered in his heart and asked again: "Where did that black-robed wizard named Yuer come from? Why did he revive Voldemort?"

As soon as Barty Crouch Jr. mentioned the name of Yuer, Zhang Hao immediately remembered who he was. They had met in the Ministry of Magic, and even had a short exchange.

The vision of the black-robed wizard Yuer is still fresh in Zhang Hao's memory.

If I'm not mistaken, it should also be an alien.

Barty Crouch Jr. said: "I don't know where Yule came from, and I don't know why he wants to resurrect the Dark Lord."

"I think I should be able to answer this question." Laurana, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly, "Yuer and I come from the same world—"

Her accent is weird and very similar to Yuer.

Zhang Hao secretly thought in his heart that sure enough, these two people really came from the same world.

"Wait a minute, Professor Laurana." He interrupted: "Since you know some inside information, let's talk about this question later. Why don't you take advantage of the effect of the medicine and ask some other questions?"

"Okay! It should be so." Laurana nodded.

Dumbledore waited until their Liao exchange was over before continuing to interrogate: "Aren't you supposed to be in Azkaban? How did you escape? Who helped you?"

Barty Crouch Jr.: "It was my father and mother..."

The interrogation went on for a long time, and Barty Crouch Jr. explained everything that should be explained and should not be explained.

Zhang Hao said with emotion: "Poor Winky, she took a big scapegoat! I heard that she came to Hogwarts?"

"Yeah!" Dumbledore said with a smile: "I thought about how long it took to make up, she will not be so sad."

Zhang Hao looked at Laurana and said politely: "Professor, maybe you should tell everyone what you know."

Laurana took a deep look at Zhang Hao, and she had already recognized Zhang Hao.

But she didn't expect that this small child in front of her would have an extraordinary status in the magic world.

She couldn't help wondering: "The crystal ball asked me to find, is it the great alchemist... or the child in front of me?"
