Chapter 294

Harry and the Aurors looked over.

The leader was a stiff-faced old man, with Ministry officials and several Aurors, all of whom Harry knew.

Sirius and Lupin

“Harry!”Mr. Potter.” Several voices rang out at the same time.

Several people walked over quickly.

They were Arthur, Percy, Sirius, Lupin, and Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Department.

“Thank God, Hermione gave me a fright when she told me you were going to take on these guys alone. Sirius said, holding Harry’s shoulders.

“”They’re just some Death Eaters. Don’t worry, Godfather.” Harry smiled in response.

Hearing the word Death Eaters, the faces of the officials from the Ministry of Magic changed, and even Scrimgeour, who came closer, frowned fiercely.

He had just gone to protect Fudge and left, so he didn’t rush over immediately.

He doesn’t understand the situation yet.

The leading official from the Ministry of Magic, with a stiff face, came over.

Before he could speak, Ludo next to him spoke first,”Mr. Potter, why are you here? Is this all?”……”

As he spoke, he widened his eyes and looked at the corpses on the ground in horror.

This time, before Harry could answer, the Auror next to him could not wait to explain for him. It is never too late to mend the fold, don’t let Mr. Potter let them lie on the ground when he is unhappy one day. Thinking of this, the Auror shuddered.

Ludo nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:”I thought Mr. Potter, God, why did I have such a damn idea?”

He kept patting his chest as he spoke.

“Who is this?” Harry narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person next to Ludo.

“Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Department.”Ludo introduced enthusiastically with a big smile on his face.

Harry nodded slowly, his eyes wandering for a moment:”Is he the Director who let the house elves take the seats in the private room, but has never been here?”

Crouch’s face twitched, and he nodded with difficulty.

“”Oh, I have another piece of news for you.” Harry looked at Crouch and said softly,”But this may not be good news for Director Crouch.”

Crouch’s face remained stiff and did not change.

But the Aurors and Ministry officials around him were very nervous.

They wanted to leave here immediately and did not want to hear any gossip.

“The leader of this group of Death Eaters was rescued by a house-elf. I remember its appearance.”

“Mr. Crouch.”

Crouch’s eyes twitched when Harry suddenly called out his name, and he looked into Harry’s eyes.

Harry went on,”That house-elf is the one who helped you take your place, the house-elf called Winky.”

Crouch’s body shook violently.

Harry could see shock and anger in his eyes, but there was no trace of surprise.

The Aurors and Ministry officials next to him all stared at Harry blankly with wide eyes.

Even Scrimgeour was no exception.

This was a director with great power. If that incident hadn’t happened back then, he might be the Minister of Magic now.

The house-elf would only obey the orders of its master, and it appeared with the Death Eaters, and even rescued a Death Eater.

So what does this sentence mean?

This is almost a direct accusation that Crouch is a Death Eater.

A Director of the Ministry of Magic is a Death Eater, which is simply ridiculous.

But no one present thought Harry was joking.

There are corpses all over the floor, who dares to laugh with Harry.

Arthur, Scrimgeour and Ludo, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic present, turned their heads and looked at Crouch.

As for the other Aurors, including Percy, they all looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they were deaf and could not hear.

But Crouch is, after all, an old man who has been in the Ministry of Magic for decades.

He has seen all kinds of big scenes and has a calm mind. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He instantly put away all his emotions and his eyes became empty.

Brain occlusion!

It is not a very difficult spell for senior wizards.

“”Mr. Potter, what do you mean?” He asked sharply,”If it’s because of the trial of Mr. Black, I apologize to you and Mr. Black here.”

Sirius curled his lips and said nothing.

Crouch fought back, implying that Harry slandered him because of Sirius’s matter.

Back then, Sirius was sent directly to Azkaban by Crouch’s hammer.

There was no prescribed interrogation process.

From arrest to trial, and then directly detained.

Strictly speaking, this did not comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic.

But that was a special period.

Any violation of the rules could be used as an excuse to clean up the Death Eaters too hastily afterwards, and no one could say anything.

Because that’s what everyone did at that time.

Sirius had no brains or mouth, and he didn’t say a word during the trial. He deserved to be in Azkaban.

Harry’s eyes were fixed on him, with a faint smile on his face, and his tone was as gentle as the warm breeze in spring:”Mr. Crouch, don’t get me wrong, if I wanted to target you, I would despise this kind of accusation.”[]

“I’m just stating a fact. As someone who has experienced it firsthand, I should speak the truth.” Harry raised his chin slightly, his expression frank,”Maybe I was too rash. Doesn’t the Ministry of Magic have the practice of listening to testimonies?”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face and a bit of teasing in his eyes, just staring at Crouch.

Crouch’s face changed in an instant, and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably.

Arthur waved his hands and quickly tried to smooth things over:”Harry, maybe you don’t know Mr. Crouch well enough, but if you say he is a Death Eater, that is absolutely impossible.”

Harry raised his eyebrows and looked at Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour also nodded, turned to look at Crouch and said,”Crouch, you should not mind if I tell you about what happened that year, right?”

Crouch had a stern face and said nothing, tacitly agreeing with Scrimgeour’s words.

Scrimgeour said to Harry,”When the Death Eaters were being tried, Barty Crouch Jr., Mr. Crouch’s son, was identified. He was sent to Azkaban by Mr. Crouch himself. Even when Barty Jr. died, Mr. Crouch didn’t go to see him. When it comes to upholding inner justice, he is definitely a role model for all officials of the Ministry of Magic.””

“So he himself is definitely not a Death Eater.”

Harry nodded slowly:”But this does not affect the fact that the house-elf belongs to Mr. Crouch.”

Ludo smiled awkwardly:”Maybe you saw it wrong?”

“House elves are much easier to tell apart than leprechaun coins.”Harry replied coldly.

Ludo shrank his head and stopped talking.
