Chapter 189 Macon: Am I Being Tricked?
"What did you say?" Dumbledore's sharp eyes were like two knives, "Who was imprisoned in the basement of Barty Crouch's house? There is also a Death Eater's black snake mark on the wall?"
"Professor, I blasted the floor of the utility room and saw with my own eyes that he is a Death Eater! Just like his son!" Sirius' voice was very loud, and his tone was particularly excited, "It's him! It's him Throwing Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire! He must have tried to kill Harry!"
Dumbledore walked back and forth in the office in silence, weird, very weird, he has known Barty Crouch for not a day or two, this person who shouted against black magic everywhere, arrested many dark wizards , Moreover, he is also the best candidate to take over as the Minister of Magic. How could such a person be a Death Eater?
As for his son Barty Jr..., Dumbledore took out his wand and walked to the Pensieve, dipped the tip of the wand into the basin, picked out a piece of silvery, liquid-like substance, and stuffed it into his head.
This is a memory, the scene is 14 years ago, in the Wizengamot Tribunal, the memory fragment of the trial of the Death Eater Igor Karkaroff.
In order to escape the fate of being imprisoned in Azkaban, Igor Karkaroff reached an agreement with Barty Crouch, who was still the Director of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic at the time, and confessed all the Death Eaters he knew, which is intriguing Surprisingly, the last person turned out to be Crouch's only son, Barty Crouch Jr., and finally Barty Sr. sent his son to Azkaban!
"Sirius, have you seen Barty Crouch Jr. in Azkaban?" Dumbledore read this memory several times, then pulled it out of his brain and put it back into the Pensieve.
"Barty Crouch Jr.?" was taken aback by Dumbledore's question, and he carefully recalled the unbearable memory, "He was locked up next door to me. He was still screaming when he came in for a few days. Mother!"
"He's too young! Less than 19 years old? But then the dementors made him calm down quickly. Yes, everyone who comes to Azkaban is like this, but I have an impression of him, like him In that case, there will definitely be no good people around, and it is only natural to enter Azkaban!"
"It wasn't long before I was imprisoned," Sirius' voice was a little hoarse, "In order to maintain my sanity and sobriety, I would engrave a mark in the cell every day and count the days to live, so I remember very clearly that he was He died a year later, probably from starvation, and the people inside would choose to go on a hunger strike if they couldn’t hold on.”
"Sorry, Sirius, for reminding you of something unpleasant," Dumbledore sighed, and continued after thinking for a while, "Is there a possibility that Barty Crouch Jr. is not dead?"
"Not dead? It's impossible. I watched him being carried away," Sirius shook his head. "Those empty gray eyes just stared at me blankly. He had already started to rot at that time!"
"This is just a conjecture. If Barty Crouch Jr. is not dead," Dumbledore squinted his eyes, his thoughts churning, "Jr. Barty has been living in that basement after feigning death, and now it is empty, which means he has escaped Yes, the Dark Mark was left behind, or maybe the person who rescued him left a mark, only in this way can the existence of the basement be explained."
"So what do we do now? Should we tell Harry about this?"
"The enemy is in the dark, and there is something weird about it. It's best not to tell him that Hogwarts is safe, and he will be well protected here. You can continue to monitor Barty."
"By the way, Snape..." Sirius hesitated to speak, opened his mouth several times, but didn't say anything.
"Sirius, Snape is on our side, don't doubt him," Dumbledore sat back at his desk and drank his red tea. He knew that Snape and Sirius were at odds. , the contradictions have never stopped.
"Professor, what I want to say is that in Snape's office, there is an alchemy doll just like Lily." Sirius turned his head to look at the balcony, where there was a girl looking into the distance, "Your Who is the tool?"
"Cough! Cough! Sirius, this is just a household alchemy doll, responsible for cleaning the house." Dumbledore put down the teacup in his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth. There's always a mess in the office, and it needs someone to clean it up."
"..." Sirius curled his lips, you can settle this matter without waving a magic wand, right?
After sending Sirius away, Dumbledore felt a bit of a headache, too few known clues, the Death Eaters who appeared after the Quidditch World Cup, the Triwizard Tournament Harry became the No.4 warrior, Barty Crow The Qi family found a basement marked by Death Eaters, Barty Jr., who may have escaped from feigning death, escaped again, and Voldemort who had been hiding in the dark.
"Daddy Black Cat! We want to be cats too!"
On the grass of the Floating Void City, the black cat was lying on the grass basking in the sun. Lelia and Felina were pestering him, hoping that Macon could teach them how to become a cat. Macon flicked his tail irritably.
It’s not like he’s been entangled for a day or two. It’s okay to have some animal features on them through the partial deformation technique. If you want to turn them into cats, it’s definitely not good. The magic power of the Philosopher’s Stone is too huge. If you want to change it, Macon Don't have that ability yet, as for Animagus?Don't even think about it.
"Lelia, Felina, it's not that I don't want to teach you to become cats, but I don't know how to teach you." The black cat lay listlessly on the ground, "Transfiguration can change the shape and appearance of certain objects, the more complex the structure , the more you need huge magic power support, the magic power in your body is too huge."
"The principle of Transfiguration is very simple. You just need to force yourself to imagine what you want to become in your mind, and you can do it, but you are too...special...special?"
Under the surprised eyes of the black cat, the bodies of the two people began to shrink rapidly, but in a moment, two palm-sized lion cats landed on the ground, looking at each other curiously.
"Sister, we have become a white cat mother! See if my eyes are the same as the white cat mother's!"
"Well, it feels weird to walk on four legs, Felina, don't lick my tail!"
Macon turned into a human form, lifted the two sisters who were fighting on the ground, and looked at them suspiciously. What is the reason for this?How do you say it has changed?Become a cat and still talk?
Putting them on his shoulders, he walked quickly back to the alchemy workshop. Macon wanted to check their bodies. It should be difficult for Transfiguration to work on the Philosopher's Stone.
Macon made them return to their original state, lying on the hospital bed, affixed a vital sign monitor, and mobilized their spirituality to observe the changes in their bodies all the time.
When the two sisters began to turn into cats, the magic stone in their bodies first began to change. It was only shrunk, and did not really become the cat’s brain. Then the body changed, and the nesting on the metal skeleton The formula combination alchemy array is activated and begins to deform with the deformation of the body...
Macon suddenly realized that the Sorcerer's Stone was only shrinking in size, and the deformation of the metal skeleton was due to alchemy. The transformation only works on their flesh and blood. Although the process is complicated, is it just an idea for them?
Macon squeezed the space between his brows. The key issue here is their consciousness. He can create the consciousness, which is the kind sold in the black and white cat doll hall. Ordinary consciousness can't do this at all. Lelia and Felina's consciousness is obviously different from what he understands...
"Mr. Flamel, this really belongs to you!" Macon shook his head, this is a trick, it seems that those who can become close friends with the old bee are all mature foxes.
