Chapter 274: The truth

"Mr. Crouch?" Percy stood up from his seat and said in surprise.
It's just this middle-aged man, who has lost his former spirit at this time, as if entering the twilight year ahead of time, the dark hair is now almost white, and the wrinkles and spots on his face all reflect his old age.
He came out of the conference room on the left side of the auditorium, wearing a black suit and looking tired.
"Oh, Wetherby." He grunted, then coughed a few times, ignoring Percy's shouts, and then came behind Dumbledore.
Dumbledore stood up, patted Crouch on the shoulder like comfort, and said a few words in a low voice.
"It's so rude." Percy said indignantly, and he felt that the behavior of the two was somewhat incompatible.
The award ceremony began. The presenter is no longer Ludo Bagman. According to him, he has some very urgent and important things to deal with.
Maybe to avoid gambling debts? These people are unknown.
This task was taken over by Dumbledore, and the old man's thick voice rang throughout the auditorium.
"The semi-annual semi-final tournament has come to a close not long ago. I believe that both the guests from other schools or our students at Hogwarts must have had a lot of fun during this time, and the four warriors also gave We have devoted one game after another."
The four warriors are already standing on an open space in front of the guest table, ready to go on stage to receive the award
The audience burst into warm applause at this time, and several warriors nodded to the audience from time to time.
As an award ceremony, the parents of several warriors were also invited as guests, but they were not with the warriors at dinner just now.
They sat at another table and enjoyed their dinner.
"However... under this unprecedented event, something extremely unacceptable happened in the background." Dumbledore's voice suddenly became low, no longer the high tone of his voice before.
Those blue eyes glanced back and forth in the auditorium, extremely majestic.
"Listen, listen quickly, Mileva, I guessed, this is definitely what I said ominously!" Professor Terni Launi said excitedly.
Professor McGonagall gave her a squinted look, and then gave a not friendly smile: "I thought you were used to the "bad habits" our headmaster loves to make jokes about"
At the next moment, Professor McGonagall's smile fixed on his face.
"Voldemort is back." The old man's words echoed in the auditorium.
Most of them first heard the name Voldemort, and they tremble with fear, and then the expression on their faces fell into numbness. It seemed that they didn't even hear what Dumbledore said later.
What is the relationship between the goblet and Voldemort? Is it possible that he has participated in this kind of competition before?
They thought about it unconsciously and did not hear Dumbledore's second sentence at all.
A small number of conscious students and faculty looked at Dumbledore in horror at this time, and obviously could not believe this fact.
Several warriors also had different expressions. Harry was relieved and seemed to relax because he no longer needed to keep secrets. Krum, like most people, did not realize what information Dumbledore said. , And a little confused.
As for Malfoy, he closed his eyelids gently, as if Dumbledore had just said a joke that was not funny.
Furong was completely entangled in a tangled emotion, slender fingers closed tightly, and looked at the boy who seemed to know nothing about the distance, as if he had made up his mind.
"Seeing is not necessarily true. In addition to the extraordinary ingenuity, sometimes, we can also listen to our hearts to make some decisions." A girl's words suddenly jumped out of her mind.
The girl who "robbed" her established dance partner.
After that unpleasant incident, Furong spent many days in various places in Hogwarts. She felt that the only way to calm down her attitude toward resentment was aimlessness. Walked away.
Then I often found that the girl named Luna appeared in various unexpected places.
At first she thought it was some kind of demonstration by the girl, and then she realized that it was just a coincidence.
Luna can always come together with some weird creatures, these creatures seem to be very close to this girl, even if it looks fierce, but unconsciously tame under her caress.
The last time the two met in private, Luna approached her actively and talked to her.
Furong didn't know why the girl suddenly said such a word to her, but she was willing to believe that this was her enlightenment.
She felt the kindness from the girl.
"Do I really have to follow an intuition?" Furong asked herself, and she slowly closed her eyes and thought.
"Voldemort is back." The old man's voice resounded through the auditorium again.
This time, even the most unresponsive people knew what Dumbledore expressed.
Then there was a nervous whisper.
"Sorry." At this time Dumbledore had quietly walked offstage, and the people on the stage changed to Batty Crouch.
He gave a heavy bow to everyone~EbookFREE.me~ I'm sorry! "He said in a sad voice.
"I haven't fulfilled the duties of a Ministry official," Crouch continued.
Percy's expression was wonderful. He didn't know why Mr. Crouch would apologize to everyone. He seemed overwhelmed. He looked left and right, but found that no one was paying attention to him.
"Soon I will resign and accept the trial I deserve. As for the mistakes I made, I will confess to you today."
"Some of the older professors in this room must have experienced that frightening time. Fortunately, that person fell, and then many Death Eaters were liquidated. If you still have an impression, maybe remember, I am not a good one. Son is also one of them." He said slowly.
"At that time, I tried to show a kind of selfless spirit. Of course, this did not help my political future. At that time, I was a strong candidate for the next Minister of Magic. I thought that the impact of this matter also lost my competitiveness. , And finally became the director of the International Department of Magical Exchange and Cooperation."
"My selfishness made things start to move towards an irreparable situation." The tone of the middle-aged man became more and more gloomy, and the audience all looked at the scene in disbelief.
"I saved my son." Crouch said plainly the amazing fact.
Many people under the stage began to whisper.
"Impossible! No one can escape from Azkaban!" a student stood up and said that there was an exception a year ago, and he blushed and sat down.
"Yeah, almost no one can escape from Azkaban." Crouch glanced in that direction and nodded. ) Download the free reader!!
