Chapter 118
"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore"
""Good evening, Andy."
Dumbledore said lightly, but his expression was extremely serious.
Andy was surprised, wondering why Dumbledore was here.
He and Barty Jr. seemed to be fighting quite fiercely, but in fact it didn't take long.
They were at the border of the Quidditch field and the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
It's quite a distance from the castle.
Krum, who was sent away by Andy to the castle to find someone, was controlled by Barty Jr. under the Imperius Curse.
If Dumbledore hadn't received the news, it could only be explained that he discovered that a fight had taken place here and came here on his own initiative.
It wasn't long since Andy summoned the Ice Orb.
Dumbledore was so fast. Dumbledore looked at the ice spikes all over the ground, as well as Crouch and Krum who fell to the ground:"Amazing magic, can you tell me what happened here?"
Andy:"It's hard to put it into words"
"Really? We'll find out." Dumbledore walked towards Andy.
"Wait. Andy pointed his wand at Dumbledore,"After I became a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, what did you say to me alone in the small room next to the auditorium?""
Dumbledore stopped, not angry, but looked at Andy with interest:"Are you doubting me?
Andy:"Sorry, Professor, it's just some necessary measures. I was attacked by a dark wizard just now.""
"Someone is using the Imperius Curse in school. I must ensure my own safety first."
Dumbledore did not explain too much, but raised his hand high.
The next moment, a lightning-fast fiery red figure flew down from the sky above the woods and landed on his arm.
A closer look revealed that it was a large fiery red bird.
Among the feathers that resembled blazing fire, there were also golden tail feathers, which looked quite heroic.
A sharp cry came from its throat, and Andy looked at it, and his soul actually felt a little trembling.
It was a phoenix, a legendary magical creature as famous as a fire dragon.
The phoenix has magical powers and is the nemesis of black magic, and can see through most of the black magic.
Their tears can even heal wounds.
According to legend, the phoenix will not easily get close to a wizard, let alone stay by the side of a human like a pet.
Dumbledore touched the head of the phoenix Fawkes and said,"I understand your concerns, but I think Fawkes should be able to prove my identity." It is a well-known fact that Dumbledore has a pet, the phoenix Fawkes.
He is also a rare wizard in the world who can be recognized by the phoenix.
""Sorry, Professor." Andy put down his wand.
Dumbledore waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, and put Fawkes back into the air:"What happened just now?"
Andy described everything that happened just now in detail, including Crouch who suddenly rushed out like crazy, as well as Peter and Barty the Younger.
But Andy did not say Barty the Younger's name, but referred to him as an unknown dark wizard.
According to the timeline, he couldn't have known Barty the Younger.
From everyone's perspective, Barty the Younger had already died, and only his father Crouch knew that he was actually still alive.
Andy didn't want Dumbledore to doubt himself, as that would make things a little troublesome.
It would be best for Dumbledore to discover this matter himself.
Besides, Barty the Younger had just turned into such a horrible look that even his father couldn't recognize him.
After listening, even the knowledgeable Dumbledore couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Andy took out half of the Marauder's Map from his pocket:"The dark wizard only left this."
Dumbledore took it, took out his wand, checked it carefully, and said in surprise:"This is a portkey, it is completely ineffective."
Andy nodded:"It's a pity that he was not caught."
Dumbledore:"You shouldn't think so, Andy, it is illegal to make a portkey privately, and it is very difficult."
"Although his technology for making door keys is not mature, ideally the door keys should not be damaged and should not be disposable."
"You have done a good job in forcing the opponent to reveal his trump card."
Dumbledore looked to the side. Among all the people present, only he and Andy were standing, and the rest were lying down.
Andy used the Levitation Charm to move the unconscious Crouch and Krum, as well as Peter's body, in front of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore bent down and stared at Peter's face for a long time without speaking.
After looking for a long time, Dumbledore sighed:"Peter Pettigrew……"
Andy quickly tried to make up for his mistake:"He told me a lot before he died, so I accidentally found out about Sirius.……"
Dumbledore looked at Andy, the two stared at each other with big eyes, and finally smiled at each other knowingly.
Dumbledore knew the inside story of Peter's incident and that Sirius was truly innocent, but there was no evidence to prove it, and helped Sirius reverse the case.
From Peter's position, it was impossible to tell Andy so many things before he died.
Dumbledore knew that Andy had a secret, but he did not shy away from Andy at all, which surprised Andy a little bit.
"He was once your student, what do you feel about meeting an old friend, Professor?" Andy changed the subject.
Dumbledore:"If I must express my feelings, I am just surprised and a little bit regretful."
"If I could have realized in time that something was wrong with him, maybe I could have prevented the deaths of many people."
It sounded like there was something in his words.
Dumbledore stopped caring about Peter, walked to the side, and touched Barty Crouch with his wand:"Resuscitate quickly."
Crouch's body shook, but he did not open his eyes.
Dumbledore looked serious, tapped Crouch a few more times with his wand, and then said:"We are in big trouble, Andy..
Andy:"What?""
Medical magic is a rare relative weakness for Andy.
His grades in Herbology and Potions are very good, but when it comes to clinical processing, he is not very good.
Andy has only learned a few very basic spells. , such as the Hemostasis Curse and the Awakening Curse,
Dumbledore is much stronger than Andy in this regard.
Dumbledore:"My preliminary judgment is that Barty is probably in a state similar to a deep coma."
"His body was not seriously injured, but his heart was so shocked that he was unwilling to wake up."
"The ordinary Imperius Curse cannot do this. He must have been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse many times before, as well as cruel torture."
"We need to bring him back to the castle and leave him in Madam Pomfrey's care.
Andy:"Where's Krum?""
Dumbledore:"We take them with us, including Peter's body. This discovery is very important to us.
Andy nodded:"Sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living.""
Dumbledore glanced at Andy in surprise and agreed:"That's right."
Andy hesitated to speak.
"Andy, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Dumbledore asked softly.
Andy:"Before that, we have one more thing to do. It's best to go back to the castle and go to Professor Moody's office right now."
"good."
Dumbledore nodded decisively without any hesitation.
