On the jury table, Crouch looked gaunter and grayer than ever before. A nerve was twitching in his temple.
"On behalf of the Wizengamot High Court, I adjudge Sirius Black to be permanently imprisoned in Azkaban Wizarding Prison for various crimes," said Crouch solemnly. "Does anyone have any objection?"
There was quiet, only Mr. Crouch's voice echoed through the silent dungeon. Dumbledore seemed to want to say something, but at the end said nothing.
The Mi...

"No ... no more than Rosier deserved!" said Karkaroff, a real tone of panic in his voice now.
It became apparent that he was starting to worry that none of his information would be of any use to the Ministry.
Karkaroff’s eyes darted toward the door in the corner, behind which the Dementors undoubtedly still stood, waiting.
Then, he uttered a few more names, still rejected by Crouch one by one.
The trial was more like a bargaining process. Karkaroff was really cunning...

Soon after Evan and Harry entered, they heard footsteps.
The door in the corner of the dungeon opened, and three people entered. More precisely, it was one man, flanked by two Dementors.
The cold and bitter feeling brought by the Dementors was so real that one could not help forget that it was only in memory.
The unpleasant thoughts echoed in Evan’s mind, and he saw Harry also pale, looking at the Dementors in horror.
In fact, under the influence o...

"What’s a Pensieve?" said Harry curiously.
He saw a shallow stone basin in the cabinet at the front, with odd around the edge: runes and symbols that he did not recognize. The silvery light was coming from the basin’s contents. It was not clear whether the substance was liquid or gas.
It was hard to describe. It was a bright, whitish silver, and it was moving ceaselessly; the surface of it became ruffled like water beneath wind, and then, like clouds, separated and swirled smo...

"Dumbledore, come on!" said Fudge angrily. "Don't you think you might be prejudiced in her favor because of Hagrid? They don’t all turn out harmless … if, indeed, you can call Hagrid harmless, with that monster fixation he’s got ..."
"I no more suspect of Madame Maxime than Hagrid,” said Dumbledore, just as calmly. “I think it possible that it is you who are prejudiced, Cornelius."
"Prejudiced?!" said Fudge in disapproval, "countless histories of the past tell us ..."

Evan wasn't specifically here to wait for Harry, although he guessed that Harry's scar might hurt.
Voldemort's Horcrux resided in that scar. Whenever Voldemort felt strong negative emotions, his connection with Harry would strengthen.
Harry would enter Voldemort's body and feel the world from his perspective.
In fact, the Horcrux was really amazing, but also very weird.
This connection was not good for Harry and the Dark Lord, but they were bound together by fate.

Harry remembered Evan saying that the monster on this twisted and terrible sculpture was a terrible evil god.
It was a terrifying creature, from the void, that did not exist in the real world, whose purpose was to destroy all life.
He looked at the statue, which was strange. The last time he saw it, it didn’t react, but now it was shining red.
The flashing red light was like a flame of sin, and Harry’s heart beat every time it flashed.
He had a bad feeling. He felt...

Breathing heavily, Hagrid gave Karkaroff a glowering look.
Hagrid’s magic was weak and he was not a qualified wizard, but because of his half-giant blood, his actual combat effectiveness was very strong. Not to mention, he had the ability to tame magical creatures.
Karkaroff was not Hagrid's opponent at all. Under his glare, he dared not say a word.
He was such a soft-stricken personality, Evan had long known it, but the actual situation was worse than expected.

Evan quickly put his hand on her shoulder and told her to lie still.
“What happened?” Hermione asked softly. “After Harry left, I felt something was wrong, as though someone was hiding in the dark and peeping at us. I just cast a red spark of warning and I was knocked down...”
"You did a good job, Hermione!" Evan recapitulated what happened just now.
He did not say that the person who fought with him was Barty Crouch Jr., but that he did not know him.

Evan waved his wand lightly, and several trees around him came to life.
They stretched ugly branches, writhing and turning into tree-men to block in front of Hermione, Ron, and Crouch.
"Come out, I know you’re here!" Evan shouted. His voice echoed through the woods and spread out into the distance.
Evan laid his wand across his chest and walked two steps forward, seemingly defenseless, without any body protection.
He was looking for the place where Barty Crouch Jr. c...

Ron and Hermione stood beside Mr. Crouch and the woods became darker.
They had to take out their wands and two faint beams flickered in the dark.
"How could Mr. Crouch suddenly go so mad?" said Hermione nervously. "This is really abnormal. Percy clearly said that he was very sick, recuperating at home and unable to work. He looks now as though he had been subjected to some cruel torture."
"Maybe Percy did it!" Ron joked, his voice trembling. "He might think that if he killed...

Harry put his finger against his lips, staring at the place where he had seen movement.
He slipped his hand inside, reaching for his wand. He was sure there was someone there!
Someone was following them, who was it?!
There was a weird silence in the woods, with only the sound of the night wind.

Harry and Hermione hurriedly looked back and saw a man...

In this strange calm, time went on.
After dinner on Friday night, Evan, Harry, Ron and Hermione left the castle to visit Hagrid.
Hagrid had planned to invite them to have dinner at his place, but the four agreed that it would be best not to take risks easily to try Hagrid’s pies, so they changed the agreement to go to him for tea and dessert after dinner.
Since his identity as a half-giant had been revealed, Hagrid no longer went to the Great Hall to eat with the others. B...

"Look, they’re very useful little treasure detectors," said Hagrid happily, seemingly satisfied with the performance of this Niffler.
In his opinion, a cute magical creature should open its mouth and expose its fangs to bite others.
The fiercer its momentum was, the sharper its teeth and claws were, the more it was recognized by Hagrid.
As for animals that were cute in appearance and gentle in character, they had never been the focus of Hagrid's attention.

The four of them gathered and crouched down by the hearth.

"We’re fine!" Harry hurriedly asked, "Sirius, where are you?"

Evan soon knew what the difference between the fake Moody Caresius and the fake Moody Barty Crouch Jr. was.
He continued the teaching style of Caresius, allowing students to experience Dark magic as much as possible, but his methods became crueler.
He began to use various Dark magic attacks on students in the classroom, asking them to try their best to resist and dodge.
This made Moody get higher praise among the students, and everyone was amazed at ...

Ravenclaw’s Diadem, the legendary magic item, was broken into two pieces!
Evan blinked and couldn't believe it.
He stared in a daze at the rusty diadem. There was no magic on it.
As the diadem broke, Voldemort’s Horcrux living in it also dissipated and disappeared completely.
Now, this diadem was just an ordinary iron headband, as common as anything. If he didn’t know it was Ravenclaw's Diadem, Evan wouldn’t even look at it.

He read the book as fast as he could, and checked all the remaining books.
In addition to the Hell Howl magic, he also found a Dark magic book titled Apocalypse. It was a curse Evan had never seen before. It was a very deep Dark magic, belonging to the devil system.

There was no doubt that this was a dilemma... flinching or facing the difficulties.
Evan thought it over carefully and decided to continue with the original plan.
The plan to stop Voldemort from returning this time would not solve any substantive problems. The difficulties that should be faced would become even harder. Evan did not like this feeling he had, and Caresius's words were also obvious. If he chose to stop it, they would no longer be allies.

Evan understood what Caresius meant, and there were contradictions and fights within vampires.
Although he was a nominal leader, he couldn't control the thoughts of all his people, coupled with Voldemort's compulsion...
In this way, the vampire clan was likely to be so divided, one side completely falling to Voldemort.
No wonder Voldemort let Caresius sneak into Hogwarts, presumably to shelve him for a period of time and take advantage of the other vampire...

"This news is absolutely true. As for Barty Crouch's specific measures, he did not say, and I did not ask." Caresius continued, "I never get the answer when I ask anyway. I just need to do what I’m supposed to do."
Hogwarts Castle was protected from intrusion by various kinds of magic. Wizards could not Apparate here.
Therefore, the Portkey was the only way to get Harry out of the school in full view.

Evan had dealt with both of them and had a general understanding of the strength of each of them.
In Evan’s view, on the actual combat ability, Caresius was better than Snape.
However, this was not absolute. The two of them had their own advantages in mastering spells and magic theories. The gap was not that big.
Especially in magic traps, there were many uncertain factors.
In the face of Snape's elaborate magic, it was not impossible for Caresius to get accidentally...

But Evan knew that, no doubt, it should be Bartemius Crouch, Jr., the craziest Death Eater.
The school's Floo Network was not yet under control. With the cooperation of a teacher, Barty Crouch Jr. could go in and out of Hogwarts at will. It was easy and impossible to prevent. It was really easier than imagined.

But that did not happen. His magical eye rolled quickly in its socket and wiped Ron's side.
Harry had a feeling that Moody's eye could see through the Invisibility Cloak.
His normal blue eye crossed the crowd and eventually fell on Evan, at the foot of the stairs, looking at him in the eye.
