The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Hearing this, John, who was feeding the injured Ministry of Magic wizard some medicine, narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm asking you now, Shafiq!"

Crouch pointed his wand at John, "You were found at a crime scene!"

"Barty," a witch wearing a long woolen dressing gown whispered, "John and the others are still children, and Arthur and the others are colleagues in the Ministry of Magic. There is no way they..."

Before the witch finished speaking, Michelle said anxiously:

"The mark in the sky was released by a man in the woods! We wanted to catch him, but a second man appeared immediately! That man attacked us and rescued the first man!"

Crouch turned his bulging eyes to Michelle again and raised his voice:

"It's late at night, how could you see so clearly and still remember it all!"

Michelle was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

When John heard this, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

He stepped forward slowly, blocked Michelle and said:

"Crouch, why are you so anxious? You even want to throw the shit basin at us? Could it be that... this matter is related to you, so you are eager to get rid of suspicion? This is very possible, after all. Like father, like son, and your son is..."

"Shut up!" Crouch growled with a red face.

However, John roared louder:

"Your son is a Death Eater! This is a fact! Do you think everyone will know it if you don't tell others?

And those Death Eaters you used to protect when you were the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, do you need me to name them one by one?

You knew they were guilty, but you still released them!

Your behavior is completely treason!

I just can't understand why someone like you hasn't been put in Azkaban yet! ? "

Crouch was clearly furious.

The tip of the wand he pointed at John was beginning to glow red.

And John, not to be outdone, raised his wand.

Everyone at the scene was shocked by John's words and deeds.

They never even dreamed that one day, a young wizard would be so bold as to reveal Crouch's scar in front of his face.

And John's accusation actually sounded so reasonable.

After all, Crouch did release many Death Eaters for many incredible reasons.

For example, Lucius, or Karkaroff...

And just when everyone was at a loss, there was a series of crackling sounds in the air.

Fudge arrived on the scene with several Aurors.

He glanced at the situation at the scene and frowned:

"Crouch, why are you pointing your wand at Mr. Shafiq? This is so rude!"

Fudge completely ignored the fact that John was also pointing his wand at Crouch, which made Crouch look even uglier.

But under Fudge's intense gaze, he put down his wand with great difficulty.

Seeing this, Fudge finally turned his gaze from him to John, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face.

"John, what's going on?"

John also smiled and put down his wand, and told Fudge the complete story of how they fought off the Death Eaters and rescued the hostages.

Hearing this, Fudge's eyebrows twitched and he said with an exaggerated expression:

"You are so brave, children! Especially Miss Shafiq, your courage is awe-inspiring! You know, not everyone has the courage to help innocent people at such times!

Arthur, you did a great job too!

certainly!The best is still you, John!

It's unimaginable that you managed to withstand the Death Eaters' attacks all by yourself, and even repelled them with the help of others, and even captured some of them!

If you weren't too young, I should have given you a Merlin Order of Merlin Level [-] medal! "

John smiled and shook his head.

He completely pretended not to hear Fudge's last words.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Minister." John looked at Crouch and said lightly, "Unfortunately, some people obviously have different ideas from you. For example, Mr. Crouch, he firmly believes that we are the suspects. I I think he may have other ulterior motives for being so eager.”

Fudge glanced at Crouch coldly and said:

"John, you don't have to worry about it. Some people's hearts are dirty. So everyone he sees is dirty."

Crouch finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He clutched his wand tightly and said loudly:

"Fudge! You..."

"Hahaha--"

Fudge suddenly laughed and waved his hands, "Crouch, I didn't talk about you, why are you so excited? You are the director of our International Magical Cooperation Department. Don't worry, I absolutely believe in your loyalty to the Ministry of Magic."

After hearing this, the words Crouch had not yet spoken were immediately blocked in his throat, causing his face to turn red.

At this moment, the Aurors who had gone to the woods to investigate when John explained what happened came back.

One of them was carrying a house elf in his hand.

"Mr. Minister," the Auror said, throwing the trembling house elf to the ground, "we found this in the woods."

Everyone looked at the house elf on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a series of exclamations came to mind from the crowd.

"This...isn't this Director Crouch's house elf, Winky?"

Cedric's father, Amos Diggory said subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Crouch immediately glared at him fiercely.

Amos also realized that he might have said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Aha-"

John sarcastically said, "Now there is physical evidence! Mr. Crouch, may I ask why your house elf appeared at the crime scene?

According to your previous logic, it, and you who raised it, should also be suspects, right?After all, everyone knows that house elves only obey the orders of their masters! "

Crouch's originally red face turned pale with fright.

He gasped and explained:

"Twinkle it... I just let it occupy a seat in the box for me. I don't know why it appeared here..."

"Yeah, I saw it when I was in the box today."

Fudge said slowly, "But you didn't come to watch the game until the end. So what's the point of letting it occupy the seat?"

Crouch's breathing became more rapid.

Fudge sneered:

"I really didn't expect that, Crouch, you are really... haha! Okay, go do your own thing!

Remember that you are only the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department now, not the director of the Magical Law Enforcement Department!

Don't worry about things that shouldn't be your business! "

Crouch looked pale and walked away dejectedly.

This time he was really embarrassed.

Fortunately, Percy wasn't here, otherwise he would have collapsed seeing Mr. Crouch, whom he admired, being trained like this.

And John just looked at Crouch's retreating back with a sneer, and did not pursue the victory again, asking Fudge to deal with Crouch.

He is very clear.

Just like the logic of Crouch's accusation against them has no effect.

The accusations he made against Crouch also couldn't do anything to Crouch.

If Crouch was really so easy to take down, Fudge would have done it himself, and it wouldn't be John's turn at all.

So from the beginning, John just wanted to embarrass Crouch.

Now, his purpose has been perfectly achieved.

It wasn't until Crouch's somewhat rickety back completely disappeared into the darkness that John withdrew his gaze and said to Fudge with a smile:

"Mr. Minister, thank you for doing justice to us this time."

Mr. Fudge laughed a few times after hearing this.

But soon, his laughter quickly disappeared.

"Oh - John, it's already very late. You should go back and rest quickly." Fudge sighed, "Do I still have to deal with the goblins?"

John frowned and said:

"Fairy?"

Fudge looked around and explained in a low voice:

"Remember what happened when Black was kidnapped? He continued to hunt goblins after he went out, which made the goblins very dissatisfied. They felt that they had spent so many Galleons in vain, so Gringotts has been quarreling with the Ministry of Magic.

Now that the Death Eaters are rioting again, this is an international event, and the goblins are probably going to have even more fun.

Maybe goblins from abroad are coming over, and I don’t know what price the Ministry of Magic will have to pay to settle the matter.

After all, the fairies abroad are different from the fairies in the country.

They are very powerful, I...sigh——"

Fudge sighed and couldn't help complaining, "I even suspect that this incident was caused by goblins, in order to give foreign goblins an excuse to intervene so that they can bargain with the Ministry of Magic!

Hi!What am I telling you for?

This matter has nothing to do with you. It's the Ministry of Magic's fault. Go back and rest. I remember you are about to start school, right? "

After Fudge finished speaking, he patted John on the shoulder with a smile and left.

And John turned his attention to the woods again.

He didn't know much about the plot of Goblet of Fire.

At best, they only know that there is a Triwizard Tournament.

Especially because I don’t like Quidditch, the plot about the Quidditch World Cup is completely blank.

To be honest, he regretted it now.

If he had watched more movies, he would have known the true identities of the two people in the woods earlier, and whether this incident was really related to goblins.

"John! Let's go!"

Michelle's voice sounded, interrupting John's thoughts.

He sighed, smiled at Michelle, and went back to the tent together.
