The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Link's words sounded like he was worried about Dumbledore or wanted to share his worries for Dumbledore, but in fact he was a little eager to try.

After all, the hidden benefits of interrogating Bagman are too great.

If Bagman is really Voldemort's internal response, then Link is likely to dig out some information about that mysterious force from him.

And if Bagman is innocent.

The person who carried the blame was also Dumbledore, who had nothing to do with Link.

"Gouging out the heart? That's the Unforgivable Curse!"

When Dumbledore heard the words, his face changed greatly, and his voice became hurried and stern, "I remember that I warned you to use less black magic, especially the Unforgivable Curse! But now you seem to take this as an accident. Your first choice? You have to know that you are special! Black magic, especially the Three Unforgivable Curses, is poison to you!"

Link frowned. Dumbledore was not a person with a very high rank in his heart like Mrs. Foley. When suddenly attacked like this, Link instinctively retorted:

"I know the condition of my body. In my current state, I can use the black magic of the three unforgivable spells as regular magic!"

Link also did not lie.

After the Occlumency spell was upgraded to LV6, his heart wall and spiritual power have increased tremendously. This knows that the negative effects caused by his use of black magic have been suppressed to an extremely low level, which can almost be ignored.

Hearing this, Dumbledore's mouth quickly opened and closed a few times, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but in the end he realized that he couldn't convince Link at all, and took a few deep breaths in silence before finally slowing down. In a sincere tone, he said:

"There used to be countless people who had the same idea as you, thinking that they could become the masters of black magic instead of being enslaved by it. But as you can see, there are very few people who can really do this.

I don't expect you to give up black magic completely, but your future is bright, and I don't want this future to be tainted by mere black magic. "

Dumbledore didn't give Link a chance to speak, turned his head and said to Filch again:

"Argus, the matter of Link's Unforgivable Curse must be kept secret, it's a big deal!"

"Of course! Headmaster Dumbledore! I know!"

Filch was excited by Dumbledore's power,

With sweat on his forehead, he nodded again and again.

But in fact, even if Dumbledore didn't say it, he would help Link to keep it a secret, after all, his friendship with Link was far beyond Dumbledore's imagination.

And Link saw that Dumbledore also helped him to keep his mouth shut, and his dissatisfaction was slightly lessened.

As if nothing had happened, the two of them walked silently all the way to the door of the innermost cell.

In the cell, Bagman was still moaning in a vague voice, such as 'I was wronged', 'Dumbledore, please...' and the like.

Today's Bagman looks quite embarrassed compared to the previous glamorous.

His 1000 gold Galleon dress was covered in dust and stains, and he collapsed to the ground, letting the sewage in the dungeon half soak his cheeks.

But after seeing Link and Dumbledore, his sluggish state immediately became agitated.

I saw him scrambling and crawling to the door of the cell, clinging to the iron railings with both hands, his eyes widened, and sobbing said:

"Let me out! Please! Dumbledore! I just kept focusing on Link just to increase the ratings, you know, everyone loves Link... ah! Link, you too Come on! You should know that, right? Everyone likes you, I just gave everyone what they wanted..."

Hearing Bagman mention his name, Link frowned and covered his nose, shook his head and took a few steps back.

Now he was beginning to understand somewhat why Dumbledore was willing to take such a big risk on Bagman's Veritaserum.

Judging from the current performance, Bagman has not received any training to resist interrogation at all, and his ability to hide his emotions is almost zero.

The smell of fear radiating from him was so strong that it was pungent, which in itself was a manifestation of a guilty conscience.

Normal people with no ghosts in their hearts would not be afraid of this.

Dumbledore stepped forward with a complicated expression and said:

"Ludo, my old friend, tell me everything you've been hiding. This is the last chance I can give you."

"Dumbledore, what are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything from you... ah!"

Bagman screamed - he saw that Dumbledore had taken out the Veritaserum, although he didn't know what the potion was in the bottle, but it didn't prevent him from being afraid of it.

He screamed and fell to the ground, quickly crawled backwards and went all the way, until his back was firmly attached to the wall, only then did he realize that there was no way to escape, so he forced himself to squeeze out a smile, stammered:

"You, you can't do that, Dumbledore, we're friends! Yes, old friends! We've known each other since I was a batsman for the Wimbourne Hornets, and I signed your autograph for you. With live tickets!"

Hearing that, Dumbledore's expression also carried a trace of nostalgia and pain, but this emotion had no effect at all, and he still pushed open the door of the cell and walked in.

"Sorry, Ludo, I had to do this for the sake of those innocent lives."

As Dumbledore spoke, he poured the Veritaserum into Bagman's mouth.

It's not that Bagman didn't want to resist, but his still barely strong body was being controlled by Dumbledore's magic at the moment, and he even made some moves in conjunction with drinking medicine.

Clang!

The empty bottle fell to the ground, and Bagman began to convulse and foam at the mouth—the only resistance he could make under Dumbledore's magic.

But this did not make the Veritaserum he drank spit out again. Five minutes later, Bagman's resistance began to weaken, and his expression slowly became dull.

Dumbledore withdrew his control over Bagman, stretched out his hand and snapped two fingers in front of him, and asked after seeing no response:

"What's your name?"

"Lu, Ludo Bagman."

"gender?"

"male."

"age?"

...

Dumbledore obviously also knew some interrogation knowledge. After asking through a series of test questions, he seemed to confirm that the Veritaserum in Bagman's body had completely taken effect. After nodding at Link, he continued to ask:

"Are you Voldemort's escort at Hogwarts?"

This time, Bagman did not answer the question immediately as before, but was silent for a long time.

During this period of silence, both Dumbledore and Link's heartbeats accelerated to varying degrees, but after this long silence, Bagman replied simply and neatly:

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and repeated the words.

He had some doubts that Veritaserum had not taken effect yet, otherwise why would Bagman answer this third answer besides yes or no?

Just when he was hesitating whether to repeat the test questions, Link also stepped into the cell and said to Bagman word by word:

"Why did Harry become the fourth warrior?"

As soon as Dumbledore said this, Dumbledore's eyebrows raised again. Obviously, he also understood the mistake in the question he had just asked. Compared with the general question, it was as detailed as Link's question now. The question is obviously easy to answer.

And this is indeed the case, Bagman said without any hesitation after hearing the words:

"You already know this, don't you? Because I put a Confusion Charm on the Goblet of Fire, making it mistakenly think that there are four schools participating in this competition, and set Harry as the only one in the fourth school. one applicant, so he can naturally become a warrior. To be honest, this is not difficult for me at all, after all, I am a member of the organizing committee of the competition. As early as when the Goblet of Fire was first shipped to the Ministry of Magic It's all done."

While talking, Bagman seemed a little smug, and Link looked at Dumbledore before continuing to ask:

"Who ordered you to do all this?"

"Oples."

"Who is that?"

"A bastard, devil, shit..."

Bagman's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he began to curse continuously. There were various meaningless sentences mixed with various dirty words, as if he was completely stupid.

Link and Dumbledore hurriedly changed the subject again. After more than an hour of long circuitous inquiries, the two finally figured out the relationship between Bagman and this Obles.

It turned out that Bagman had already been involved in the gambling industry when he was a batter for the Wimbourne Hornets. At first, he was hired to fight match-fixing.

After developing and retiring, he began to expand his business scope by relying on his previous relationships in the sports industry, from an initial worker to a middle-level organizer.

After relying on these activities to accumulate some experience and prestige, he was elected as the director of the Magic Sports Department by the industry bosses because of his identity as a Miaohong, and he officially became the puppet umbrella of the entire sports betting industry. I also began to independently undertake small and medium-sized spinach through this identity.

According to the normal development logic, Bagman's ultimate destination is either to become a 'President Ba' or a 'Ba Mou'.

But then something weird happened.

Like most pure-blood wizards, Bagman's mastery of mathematics is not as good as that of Muggle junior high school students. Willingness to make the exchange ratio complicated).

Such a guy simply doesn't understand how the odds are set.

It's just that he has no self-knowledge, and is unwilling to pay a large amount of shares to hire goblins to settle accounts.

As a result, the handicap held by Bagman miraculously lost again and again, and in the end, not only did Bagman take all the wealth accumulated in the past, but also made Bagman owe a large amount of usury.

The debt kept getting bigger and bigger, eventually reaching an astronomical sum that Bagman would never be able to pay back in his lifetime.

This made Bagman feel extremely terrified.

Different from the strange phenomenon in the Muggle society that 'the one who owes money is the uncle' and 'the one who owes a hundred million is the bank's father', the wizarding community has a very uniform attitude towards those who owe a large amount of loans and do not pay them back. Sent to Azkaban.

The usury 'shadow banking' will directly choose to send such people to hell.

Although this will lead to a lot of bad debts, everyone in the entire industry is resolutely implementing this tradition.

The reason is to maintain deterrence and encourage defaulters to pay more aggressively.

Bagman is clearly about to be dealt with like this.

But at this moment of crisis, Oples appeared.

He began to continuously send Jin Galleon to Bagman on the pretext of letting Bagman use his power to help him with small favors. At first, these favors were only small things that Bagman could easily do. Ruth pointed to Bagman's involvement in the Triwizard Tournament.

Bagman was no fool, and he knew that such a big event would be too risky for him to imagine.

But at this time he had no way to turn back.

Obles had already mastered a lot of his evidence and IOU contracts, so he could only follow Obles' orders and first let Harry become the fourth warrior.

Afterwards, he kept revealing information and strategies to Harry and Link, so that they could reach the finals smoothly.

And the last instruction that Obles gave to Bagman was to lock the camera on Link, and it must not be transferred to Harry.

"Then who the hell is this Oples? Did you find out anything while working with him?"

After listening to Bagman's remarks, Dumbledore couldn't wait to ask.

This is the most important purpose of their interrogation of Bagman this time, to trace the mysterious force through the people behind Bagman.

Hearing that Bagman's face was pale, and the muscles on his face twitched and said:

"Oples is a businessman. He specializes in the smuggling business between the Muggle world and the wizarding world, and even sells various potions and props from the wizarding world to Muggles, and then collects resources from Muggles and sells them to wizards .

This is what I found out by hiring an Auror who likes to do private work. It's a pity that the Auror didn't find out how Oples realized it, otherwise I would have taken part in such a big business. "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Dumbledore and Harry were a little weird.

This Oples is obviously a vest of that mysterious force, and his identity as a businessman also explains part of the source of funds of that mysterious force to a certain extent.

But the question is, how could an organization with close ties to Voldemort cooperate with the Muggle world to smuggle?

This is simply Arabian Nights!

However, this is not a big problem. Anyway, the name of Oples has been excavated. I believe that as long as you follow the trail, you will definitely gain something.

Thinking like this, Link nodded, not holding out much hope, and just asked politely:

"Mr. Bagman, do you have anything else to say?"

"Oh, of course." Bagman said with a dull look, "I suddenly remembered. In the gold Galleons that Oples gave me, I have found many gold coins with the symbol of the Black family. "
