BXBX NOVEL Chapter 640: You are simply a born Auror!
"That\'s right, Hals." Moody looked at Crouch contemptuously, and arguing lazily, turned to point his wand at him, and said. "Let\'s go, Batty! Do you need my help?"
"I will go by myself!" Crouch snorted coldly, and walked out of the room on his own, towards the principal\'s office on the top floor of the main tower.
Along the way, Ivan and Moody stood side by side and stared at his every move, lest he had any thoughts of running away.
However, Crouch was very honest throughout the whole process and made no small movements, leading directly to the principal\'s office.
Moody said the password to open the door, and then the few people walked up the spiral staircase together.
Fortunately, Dumbledore happened to be in the principal\'s room, and they did not make a trip in vain.
"Hals, Batty, Alastor... It seems that you have something important to look for me?" Dumbledore\'s gaze swept across Ivan and the others, paying attention to the expressions of the others, with a deep voice. Said.
"Yes, Professor, it\'s a very important thing!" Ivan nodded, then turned to look at Crouch, "But I think it\'s better to let Mr. Crouch personally say it."
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore fixed his gaze on Crouch\'s decadent face.
Crouch sighed, and didn’t talk any more nonsense. He started talking about Barty Jr. from Azkaban more than a decade ago when he was soft-hearted, and continued to talk about himself in the World Quidditch Cup. For a while, Batty took advantage of the gap, broke free from the shackles, and now disappeared.
Ivan and Moody added to the side, clarifying things as concisely and clearly as possible.
Dumbledore listened silently, tapping the table top lightly with his slender index finger, revealing a little contemplation and surprise from time to time.
After a few people finished speaking, Dumbledore\'s expression became serious. He looked at Crouch and said disappointedly. "I have to say that this incident was far beyond my expectations, Barty... I thought you were clear enough."
"Sorry, Albus... I\'ll take the initiative to surrender to the Ministry of Magic next, I hope it\'s still too late, so that no bigger mistakes will be brewed." Crouch looked lonely, and seemed to be much older at that moment.
"In the face of family love, no matter how smart people are, they can become dull..." Dumbledore said with emotion, his expression was a little moved, and then he retorted. "Actually I don\'t recommend that you surrender to the Ministry of Magic, Barty, at least not now!"
"Why?" Crouch looked at Dumbledore in surprise, and didn\'t quite understand what he meant. Moody on the side anxiously wanted to talk, but was stopped by the old professor.
"Think about it. If you were to be heard about the trial by the Ministry of Magic, then Little Batty will realize that his escape has been completely exposed. Facing the Auror\'s pursuit, he will only hide more carefully, even It may do things that we don’t want to see, such as venting anger to the innocent..."
"So it\'s better to keep it as it is and wait for him to relax his vigilance."
"Since Barty Jr. chose to put Harry\'s name into the Goblet of Fire, there must be follow-up actions, and we still have a chance to catch him." Dumbledore explained.
"This is too dangerous, Albus, what if Batty deliberately conceals any information, or makes a mistake again... you know he has a criminal record!" Moody asked questioningly.
"We need every power we can use now, Alastor!" Dumbledore said firmly, and then he looked at Crouch.
"Are you willing to help us catch your son? Barty? You are probably the person who knows him best in the world. But I need to remind you that there is no benefit and no possibility of commutation. You can understand it as ...A kind of atonement!"
"Of course! I can make a pledge as a constraint." Crouch nodded without hesitation.
"That\'s best, Barty! I\'ll stare at you all the time..." Moody grinned, staring at Crouch fiercely.
Ivan couldn\'t talk in the whole process, so he could only stand aside dullly and listen to their discussion.
Ivan’s opinion on Crouch’s handling of the problem is the same as Moody’s. He thinks it’s best to imprison this guy. After all, no one knows whether a father can deal with his erring son.
And the magic oath is not omnipotent.
While Ivan was thinking silently, the discussion in the principal\'s room suddenly stopped, and Ivan raised his head somewhat unexpectedly to find that everyone was looking at him.
"I\'ve heard Alastor talk about it just now... You did a good job this time, Hals!" Dumbledore broke the calm by speaking, and said admiringly.
In his opinion, it is not easy for Ivan to draw out the truth from Crouch by relying on the few clues collected and the two reports of the Daily Prophet, especially when he is only fourteen years old this year.
"I just helped a little bit, this time I was able to catch Mr. Crouch thanks to Professor Moody..." Ivan humbly replied The voice is getting lower and lower, because of him Suddenly realized that the Lord was still here.
Moody didn\'t care about Crouch\'s thoughts at all, he patted Ivan on the shoulder and grinned. "Don\'t be so humble, Hals, you are simply a natural Auror! If you are able to serve in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, I am afraid that you can become the executive director for a few years at most, and even the minister is not without hope."
Ivan shrugged. He always thought that the born Auror was not a compliment, because in his impression, the duty of Auror was usually to wash the ground after the war, or as cannon fodder to be killed by a spike. The power of the wizard.
"Halse, I heard that you have had some conflicts with your friends recently?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.
"Ah, isn\'t it a contradiction?" Ivan scratched his head, not sure whether Dumbledore was talking about Hermione or Ron, and wondering why the old professor suddenly turned the topic here, they are not talking now. Are you serious?
Dumbledore nodded and nodded, confirming Ivan\'s words, and stopped asking more questions, turning to the two of them. "Next, I may need to chat with Mr. Crouch alone for a while. If you have nothing else, you can first consider going to the auditorium to enjoy today\'s dinner..."
