Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

A group of people came in, led by Dumbledore, his face was as calm as ever.But there is no kind smile, and there is no spark of joy in the eyes behind the lens. Every wrinkle on that old face is filled with cold anger, which makes people feel strange and scary.

Behind him came Sirius and Snape, the same old Snape, not at all panicked by Voldemort's return, just more sombre.

Sirius was in a lot of embarrassment. He seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and a man walked in under pressure.

The man was pale, slightly freckled, and had blond messy hair. It was Barty Crouch Jr.

He and Ivan met in the Pensieve, exactly the same as when he was taken from the court by the dementors.

But now, there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he no longer looks young, he is much older...

During the period when Ivan and Harry were taken away by the Portkey, Sirius caught this guy.

Chapter 709 Brother Magic Wand

They walked into the room, and Sirius stepped forward, looking at Ivan and Harry who were lying on the ground with concern.

"Thank God, you two are still alive!" he said loudly, his expression agitated. "I've been blaming myself for why I didn't go with you, and a lot of terrible thoughts came into my head... What happened after you were taken away?"

Sirius' arm was bleeding from a battle with Barty Crouch Jr.

But he didn't care, didn't even bandage up, and came over and pulled Ivan and Harry up who were lying on the floor.

"I'm fine, Sirius! But Voldemort is back, and he's back in the flesh!" Seeing Dumbledore and Sirius, Harry said hastily, "He made a potion, using his father's bones, his servants' flesh and my blood..."

Before Harry could finish speaking, he heard the bound Barty Crouch Jr. burst into laughter.

"The Dark Lord is back, you are all going to die, I succeeded, I brought Harry Potter to him, I will be honored more than any other Death Eater, I will be his favorite confidant, more than a son To kiss..."

"Shut up!" growled Sirius, punching Barty Crouch Jr. hard.

He fell to the ground, the blood from his nose and the corners of his mouth kept lingering, but he still laughed wildly, this guy is crazy!

Snape looked at Barty Crouch Jr. in disgust, and swung his wand so hard that he couldn't make a sound.

"I, Harry, and Cedric were taken by the Portkey, and Voldemort was resurrected with Harry's blood!" Ivan said simply, looking into Dumbledore's eyes, "Then, he summoned the Death Eaters , we had a fight."

"You got into a fight?!" Snape said suspiciously. "With the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters?"

"To be precise, Harry was fighting Voldemort, and I was responsible for dealing with the remaining Death Eaters and the big snake named Nagini, but it was just an ordinary snake, not what I imagined." Ai Wen said, knowing that Dumbledore could understand.

He originally thought that Nagini would be a Horcrux, but no, Voldemort didn't make it into a Horcrux.

This is not good news, which means that Voldemort is likely to have made a Horcrux that Ivan does not know.

After vampires and evil gods, there have been new changes, and it has become more difficult to eliminate Voldemort.

"I dueled Voldemort, but I just used the Disarming Charm!" Harry explained, noticing that everyone was looking at him in disbelief. Golden light and..."

He told the detailed process of the duel, which Ivan didn't know.

The images created when his wand and Voldemort's wand collided, those things emerging from within Voldemort's wand in a golden halo, flooded his mind like a tidal wave, and Harry could see Burke coming out of the wand. Sarah Jorkins, and the two wizards, and his mother, and his father...

After he finished speaking, there was a silence in the office.

Even Snape was distracted when he heard Lily's ghost appear.

"James and Lily, two wands meeting?" said Sirius, looking at Dumbledore. "Why?"

"Flashback Curse," Dumbledore murmured.

He pulled out his wand and struggled on the ground. Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly fell silent, as if he had fallen asleep.

His body floated slowly and landed firmly on an empty chair.

Dumbledore turned, his eyes gazing deeply into Harry's, and an invisible glance of understanding passed between them.

Then, he looked at Ivan, who was sitting aside, with a very relieved expression.

"Flashback Curse?" Sirius asked tactfully, "Can you get the effect of the Replay Curse?"

"Exactly!" said Dumbledore softly. "Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand have the same core, and the feather they each contain was obtained from the same phoenix. To be honest, it was the one I kept." Only Phoenix Fox!"

"The feather in my wand is from Fawkes?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Yes," said Dumbledore. "Four years ago, as soon as you left Mr. Ollivander's shop, he wrote to tell me that you had bought the second wand."

"So what happens if a wand meets its brother?" asked Sirius.

"Obviously, they don't attack each other normally," Dumbledore explained patiently. "If the owner of the wands insists on two wands fighting, a very rare phenomenon will occur. One wand will force the other to fight." The wand repeated the spells it had cast, in reverse order. First the most recent spells, then the previous ones, and the ones Harry saw were all the people Voldemort had killed..."

"My parents spoke to me at the time, did they come to life?" Harry asked hurriedly, "like ghosts!"

"I don't think so. It is impossible for any magic to wake up the dead." Dumbledore said heavily, "There will only be a phenomenon similar to the echo reversed. I believe that what Harry sees is just a picture of them when they were alive." Shadows. They retained the looks and characters of James and Lily, as victims of Voldemort's wand."

There was another silence, Sirius all held tightly, his body trembling slightly.

Snape's face was also extremely gloomy, he kept looking at the broken mirror on the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

Ivan was looking at Barty Crouch Jr. sitting opposite him, guessing what kind of magic Dumbledore had just used.

This guy was obviously not in a coma, but he had no consciousness at all, and sat there in a daze.

"The people that wand has killed most recently," Dumbledore continued, "they flash in reverse order, and if Harry keeps the two wands connected, there will be more phantoms. These echoes, these phantoms, they do what?"

Harry narrated how the figures emerging from the wand hovered on the edge of the golden net, how Voldemort frightened them, how the shadows of his father and mother told him what to do, and how he and Ivan used the Portkey to go back to Hokkaido. Gwartz.

When Harry finished speaking, Dumbledore, Sirius and Snape turned their attention to Ivan.

"I have nothing to say there. When Harry held Voldemort back, I tried to save my life with the magic I had prepared in advance. I didn't confront those Death Eaters head-on." Ivan paused and added , "Before you come back, kill that big snake!"

Dumbledore knew what was going on, and there was no need for Ivan to spread the word about his use of black magic.

Besides, these things are not too much to make a fuss about, they are just unexpected.

After Voldemort came out, Ivan's magic was cracked almost instantly.

Chapter 710 Subsequent Events

There was a brief silence in the office, and everyone was immersed in sadness.

It was only then that they noticed that Harry's arm was still bleeding, and Sirius rushed over to help him with the wound beneath his robes.

At the same time, Ivan also found a school uniform robe and put it on, and took off Gabriel's torn robe.

"I don't understand why Voldemort has to use Harry's blood?" Sirius asked, looking at Harry's wound.

"He said my blood would work better than anyone else's and would make him stronger," said Harry, holding out his arms to let Sirius bandage him. The power in my body, he also wants to have. He was right, when he touched me again later, he would not be hurt, after the resurrection, he touched my face..."

For a brief moment, Harry seemed to see a gleam of joy in Dumbledore's eyes.

But Harry soon decided that he had been delusional, because Dumbledore immediately looked as old and tired as before.

"Voldemort has overcome that extraordinary obstacle!" said Dumbledore, turning his gaze to Barty Crouch Jr. in his chair. "It is an indisputable fact that he has returned. The question now is what should we do... Although we already know most of the facts, there are some details that need to be clarified. Severus, please go get your most powerful Veritaserum, and go to the kitchen to find a house elf named Winky .”

Snape nodded and turned away immediately.

"By the way, what happened after we left school?" Ivan asked, "Krum seems to have been under the Imperius Curse, is he okay?"

"He's fine, and he's being treated in the hospital now! After the three of you were taken away by the Portkey, the mermaids rushed forward to report, and I was right next to this lunatic!" Sirius said, pointing at Barty Jr. Rauch, "I planned to catch him according to the plan, we fought, Fudge seemed to be frightened, and followed him to the school hospital. Then, we took him back to the castle, and he turned back to his original form on the way , Dumbledore said you two are here..."

Sirius recounted what happened after they left. He had a huge fight with Barty Crouch Jr., and a large group of mermaids came out to warn. The sudden change shocked everyone present. It was a mess.

Until now, the outside of the castle is still in chaos. The professors are trying to maintain order and let the students go back to their common rooms.

Fortunately, except for Cedric who is still missing, there were no casualties, which is a blessing in misfortune.

The only one who was seriously injured was probably Ron, who was severely tortured by Krum with the Cruciatus Curse.Then, he was stunned and fell into the aquatic plants full of Grindylow. They probably regarded him as food and took a few bites...

Fortunately, the crying Myrtle was nearby, and she went to inform the others, and the nearby mermaid rescued him.

"Barty Crouch Jr. pretending to be Moody, where's the real Moody?" Harry asked.

"No accident, it should be in this room. They need to keep him alive, take him with them, and take a part of him at any time to make Polyjuice Potion." Dumbledore said, Barty Crouch from childhood He found a key on his body.

He took the key and went straight to the box with seven locks in the corner, and inserted the first key into the lock.

Dumbledore opened the box, and inside was a pile of spell books.

He closed the box, inserted the second key into the second lock, and opened it again. Inside the box was no longer a spell book, but various broken looking glasses, some parchments and quills, and a silver invisibility cloak.

"It's the seventh, Professor!" Ivan reminded, knowing what he was going to do.

Dumbledore put the seventh key in the lock and lifted the lid, Harry and Sirius screamed at the same time.

Under the box is a large pit, like a basement.

Lying on the floor about three meters deep, a scrawny man who seemed to be asleep, was the real Mad-Eye Moody.

His wooden legs were gone, the magic eye was empty under his eyelids, and his gray hair was missing several strands.

Dumbledore climbed into the trunk and fell gently beside Moody, who was sleeping, leaning over to look at him.

"He passed out, was hit by the Imperius Curse, and is very weak." He said, "But fortunately, his life is not in danger, and Mrs. Pontjanfrey will take care of him for a while, and he will gradually get better. "

Dumbledore and Sirius lifted Moody up and laid him down on the sofa by the fire.

Just then there were hurried footsteps in the corridor, and Snape returned, looking scruffy and winky.

Winky poked her head out from Snape's feet, and all at once saw Barty Crouch Jr. strapped to the chair.

She opened her mouth wide and let out a piercing scream.

"Master Barty, Master Barty, what are you doing here?" she screamed, rushing forward, "You killed him! You killed him! You killed the master's son!"

"We just subdued him, Winky," said Dumbledore. "Get out of the way, Severus, is the potion here?"

Snape handed Dumbledore a vial of clear liquid, a potent veritaserum he had brewed.

Dumbledore opened Barty Crouch Jr.'s mouth and poured three drops of the potion into it.

Winky was still kneeling there, covering her face with her hands, trembling all over, watching them in horror.

Seconds later, Barty Crouch Jr. opened his eyes, his eyes glazed over and his cheeks slack.

Dumbledore crouched in front of him, face to face with him.

"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"I can hear you." He whispered, his eyelids quivering a few times.

"Very well, the Veritaserum is working, we'd better start with the simple questions!" Dumbledore said softly, "I want you to tell us how you got here, how did you get out of Azkaban?" escaped?"

Crouch Jr. took a shaky, deep breath, and spoke in a deadpan tone.

"My mother saved me and she knew she was going to die and begged my father to get me out as the last thing she could do for her. My father loved her very much even though he never loved me. He agreed and they came to watch Me, give me a Polyjuice Potion with my mother's hair in it. Mother takes a Polyjuice Potion with my hair in it, and we swap looks."

Winky shook her head, trembling all over.

"Stop it, Master Batty, stop it, you will cause trouble for your father!"

But Little Crouch took another deep breath and continued in a flat voice.

"Dementors are blind, they can't see. They smell a healthy man and a dying man walking into Azkaban, and they smell a healthy man and a dying man leaving Azkaban. I My father smuggled me out. I pretended to be my mother, so that no prisoner could see through the door. My mother died not long after she was in Azkaban. She never forgot to drink Polyjuice Potion. When I died, I still looked like me, and was buried as me, and everyone thought it was me."

Chapter 711 The Story of Barty Crouch Jr.

"I was looking through the window, watching them dispose of her body, and it didn't occur to me..." Sirius said sadly.

Undoubtedly, Barty Crouch Jr.'s mother is very great, she is willing to give anything for her son.

It was hard for Ivan to imagine how such a crazy Death Eater like Barty Jr. could appear in such a decent family.

How did his character degenerate and distort step by step to this point?

Voldemort's temptation is one aspect, and Mr. Barty Crouch's wrong educational philosophy is the main reason.

"What did your father do to you when he brought you home?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"He pretended my mother was dead and had a secret funeral with an empty tomb and Winky the house-elf nursed me back to health. My father was going to hide me and control me and he had to use quite a few spells to keep me in check .After my physical strength recovered, I only wanted to find my master and serve him again."

"How did your father restrain you?" Dumbledore asked.

"The Imperius Curse!" said Crouch Jr. "I was controlled by my father and forced to wear the Invisibility Cloak from morning to night. I stayed with Winky, who was my caretaker. She sympathized with me and persuaded me My father sometimes gave me special treatment as a reward for doing well."

"Master Batty, Master Batty!" Shining sobbed, covering his face, "You shouldn't have told them, we're going to be in trouble!"

"Has anyone found you alive?" asked Dumbledore softly, "except your father and the house-elves?"

"Yes!" Little Crouch's eyelids trembled again, "A witch in my father's office, Bertha Jorkins. She came to my house with a document to sign for my father. My father was not at home, so Winky led her into the house, and then went back to the kitchen to attend to me. But Bertha Jorkins heard Winky talking to me, came over to check, and from what she heard she guessed who was under the cloak. When my father came back , she asked him to his face. He cast a very powerful Amnestic Charm on her, which made her completely forget what she had discovered. The spell was so powerful that my father said it permanently damaged her memory."

"Why does she want to meddle in my master's private affairs?" Winky sobbed, "Why doesn't she let us go?"
