Chapter 58 Memories of the Past
"Wait a minute, Amos." Mr. Weasley suddenly spoke, "What if that person was by her?"
"If that's the case," said Mr. Digory impatiently, "Little Goblin, who have you seen?"
She shook even more powerfully than before, and her two eyes with big light bulbs looked at Mr. Digory, then looked at Mr. Weasley, then looked at Mr. Crouch, then she took a big breath and said, "I saw no one, sir... not one..."
"Amos," Crouch said rudely before Mr. Digory spoke, "I know that according to the general procedures, you will bring Shanshan to your division for interrogation, but I still ask you to allow me to deal with her."
Mr. Digory seemed to disagree with the suggestion, but in the end he did not object.
"Don't worry, she will be punished." Mr. Crouch added coldly.
"Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord..." Shin looked up at Mr. Crouch, with tears in his eyes and stammeringly said, "Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord, please-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-
"I was shocked by Shining tonight's behavior," Crouch stared at Shining with a stiff expression, without any sympathy in his eyes. "I told her to stay in the tent. I asked her to stay there, I went to resolve the riot, and I found that she had disobeyed me, which meant-clothes!"
"No!" Screaming out of voice, he threw himself at Mr. Crouch's feet, "No, Master! Don't have clothes, don't have clothes!"
"I don't need a house elf who disobeys my orders," Crouch took a step back, freed from the glittering entanglement, and said coldly, "I don't need a servant who forgets to obey his master's will and maintain his reputation."
Shining was so sad that she cried, her crying echoed in the open space.
There was another embarrassing silence, and finally Mr. Weasley whispered: "Well, if no one objected, I'll take the kids back to the tent."
"Touch Mrs. Maxim," I said to Mr. Weasley, who nodded, and I told the Boothbaton students to leave us first in French.
"Mr. Weasley, I think we kids should leave here as soon as possible, including Fred and George and Ginny - if they return to the camp," I said to Mr. Weasley.
"Oh, yes, but there is no door key now." Mr. Weasley hesitated.
"It's okay. Just a few of us, Eluf is completely competent. We can go to Harvey's Manor first, where everything is there, and I think you will come as soon as possible, right?" I said to Mr. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley thought for a while and finally agreed to me. When we arrived at the camp, the Busbatons were about to separate from us. They were reluctant to leave us so quickly. The adventure that night impressed them, but Gabrie said we would meet soon. This sentence confused Ron and Harry, but Hermione had some understanding.
"Oh, we've heard about it, your defense is so wonderful-" Fred couldn't wait to say when he came to Harvey's Manor.
"—But, this is not as exciting as our discoveries." George continued.
"Yes, but I think what we need now is to take a hot shower and eat something. What do you think?" I asked.
"Oh, yes-"
“—We are hungry too.”
The twins replied.
"I think I should tell them immediately." After hearing the twins' discovery, I pondered for a while, and then I looked up and called Eluf: "Eluf, raise the fireplace, and then bring the professors, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Black and Mr. Lupin."
"Okay, take this opportunity to explain what that skeleton is?" Ron said. "I know that it's not a good thing, but it doesn't hurt anyone... Why do everyone make such a fuss?"
"I'll tell you, Ron, this is the symbol of the mysterious man," said Hermione. "I read it in The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic."
"It's been thirteen years since I saw it," I whispered, "Naturally people are nervous, and to those of that era, it's like seeing Voldemort again."
"I don't understand," Ron said with a frown, "I mean...at the end of the day, this is just a shadow in the air..."
"Ron, Voldemort and his followers - the Death Eater, don't tell me you don't know - every time you kill someone, you have to show the Dark Mark in the air." I said lightly, "Which Dark Mark appears on the roof of which house shows that the house has been washed away."
Hearing me say this, the few people present shuddered, but I continued to say in a calm tone: "I still remember that night very clearly--yes, I played it back many times with a meditation basin. When Voldemort and the Death Eaters attacked here, everyone knew that the Harvey family was over. My mother hugged me--I was still in her cradle, and she held a magic wand to resist the enemy's attack, but was hit in the chest. My mother's chest exploded, and blood splattered all over me. When my mother arrived, she was a
She held me tightly, and she pressed me under her body, but she used her last bit of strength to support her body with her arms to avoid pressing on me. I knew everything at that time, I knew my relatives were dying, I knew my mother was dying by my side, but I didn't cry. Even if my mother's blood soaked my swaddle clothes, even if my mother's blood filled my mouth and nose, I didn't cry, because I knew that when the enemy killed my mother, I thought I had killed me, and I couldn't die yet, so I didn't cry."
Sighing, I continued, "When the group left in the form of a victor, the green mark appeared in the air, and the skeleton's hollow eyes looked at me, and I also looked at it calmly. I don't know how long it took, it must have been after twelve o'clock. Eluf came back - this was the patriarch who threatened him with his clothes and asked him to leave Harvey's house before twelve o'clock. When Eluf found that I was still alive, he immediately hugged me, covered in blood, and found Professor McGonagall..."
"Child, stop talking, stop talking..." I suddenly felt like I was being hugged. It was Professor McGonagall. I don't know when so many more people appeared in the house - everyone has arrived.
"I thought this matter had no effect on me," I shook my head with a wry smile, and then said to Harry and the others: "I said this, in fact, just to tell you that joining the Order of the Phoenix and fighting Voldemort is not a momentary impulse, heroism, or to show myself, but to be aware of something, and to face everything I just said at any time, so think about it."
"I am the same as you, Lina, we are already the same." Harry said, "My home was also destroyed by Voldemort. Between me and him, either he dies or I dies, there is no other ending. So, although I can't face the blood of my loved ones as calmly as you, I have already realized it."
“Just for these—”
“—Let us surrender to that old lunatic?”
"You think--"
“—Is it possible?”
The twins said.
"If Voldemort once resurrects, except those who oppose him, the first person who is unlucky will be a non-pureblood wizard like me?" Hermione shrugged, "Unless I am not a wizard, I can only fight him to the end, but unfortunately, I am already a wizard now."
"Our whole family will join the Order of the Phoenix. If I don't do it, Fred and George will kill me." Ron sneered and said, "Also, we are buddies."
"Well, everyone, although I already know your determination, I think it's my business to approve the wizards here." Dumbledore, you really can ruin the atmosphere. "In addition, we are so anxious to gather us, not to listen to everyone's oath, right?"
"Yes, the twins found something interesting, and we thought these things were important," I said, "But first, I want to ask a question, does Mr. Barty Crouch have any relatives with his same name and surname? I mean immediate family."
"I can answer this," Sirius said. "His son is also called Batty Crouch, but he died a long time ago. At that time, he was less than a year after being caught in Azkaban, right next to me."
"So, has anyone visited him before he died?" I continued to ask.
"Yes, his parents." Sirius replied, "Crouch was the director of the Law Enforcement Division at that time. He and his wife were allowed to visit the dying little Crouch. I saw him helping his wife walk through the cell with his own eyes. Shortly after that, his wife died."
"What? Have you found any problems?" Lupin asked.
"Yes, then, Harry." I said to Harry. Harry took out his wand and made the wand parallel to his eyes. Then he lit the wand with his other hand, and at the same time he let go of the wand, and the wand floated in the air. Next, I released the spell that showed the fingerprint again, but this time only showed the third and fourth fingerprints. Fred placed his hand on the third set of fingerprints, and George placed his hand on the fourth set of fingerprints. In this way, George just held Fred's hand on the wand.
"That is to say, Shanshan snatched the wand from the wand stole?" said Mr. Weasley. "But didn't she say that no one saw it? Can she hide it for anyone?"
"Eluf." I called out.
"Yes, Miss." Eluf bowed to the people present and continued: "We have elves in our houses that are infinitely loyal to our masters. This loyalty is not just life. I think if the person who uses this wand to create the black magic mark is Miss, I will do this."
"I understand what you mean," said Snape. "You mean, in that chaos, you found another Barty Crouch, and that Crouch had a Dark Mark, right?"
"Yes, and I think Mr. Crouch knew that Crouch Jr. Crouch Jr., and he even brought Crouch Jr. to the World Cup. But something seemed to be wrong in the middle. Mr. Crouch Jr. should have been called Shanshan to watch Crouch Jr., but Shanshan couldn't watch it. As a result, Crouch Jr. dropped Harry's wand in the stands - it should be some kind of invisibility, otherwise Harry and the others would have discovered it, and then used Harry's wand to transform the Dark Mark." I replied.
"If you say so, Barty actually brought Crouch Jr. to the World Cup? How is this possible?" Mr. Weasley said in surprise.
"So we don't know what the relationship between Mr. Crouch and Crouch Jr., and we don't know what connection they have with Voldemort, but for the most basic thing, we think Crouch Jr. will definitely come to Hogwarts - if that event is really going on." I said with certainty.
