Chapter 723 Voldemort’s Secret
Rolf and Dumbledore landed in the Pensieve, emerging onto a dark, dusty staircase as their feet hit the ground.
Not far away, there were three Aurors and a tall Dementor, escorting Crouch and his son down the stairs.
Rolf immediately recognized that this was the Azkaban prison.
A year ago, he came here with Minister Fudge to explore the lake where the Dementors were born, so he still had memories.
The two of them followed and walked towards the dark cell on the bottom floor.
The so-called dark prison refers to a dark cell, where there is no light. Once someone is taken there, it means that they will never see the light of day again, never hear human voices again, and will suffer in torture forever.
In such a cruel environment, all the prisoners imprisoned are wizards who were sentenced to life imprisonment!
Following the memory of Barty Crouch, they came to the end of the stairs.
A gray, scabbed hand stretched out from the dementor's cloak. It held a set of keys, inserted it into the door lock, and opened an iron door.
The chain that had not been opened for a long time made a "creak" sound in protest, and pieces of dust scattered.
After the heavy iron door was opened, the group walked into a dark world.
The lit wands in the hands of the three Aurors were the only source of light at this time. The weak and swaying white light shone through the ancient iron bars into the cell, and many prisoners could be seen.
They were in ragged clothes, withered and skinny. Even if someone passed by, they wouldn't even look at them. They were like corpses, lying motionless on the ground.
These people became like this not only because of the harsh environment, but also because of the "eating" of the Death Eaters, which sucked them all into dregs.
The Dementor floated forward, leading the Auror to turn left and enter another corridor.
The prisoners here seemed to recognize Barty Crouch, and they all stood up, banged on the iron bars, and made violent noises at him.
Dumbledore looked at the prisoners, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Rolf, did you find the problem?"
"The mental condition of the prisoners here is much better than that of the previous prisoners." Luo Fe pondered:
"When I came last year, they were not like this."
A year ago, Rolf had been to this corridor with Kingsley, and he had had a "friendly exchange" with Bellatrix, giving her several large bidets.
At that time, the prisoners in this corridor were not as energetic as they are now.
"It's indeed strange." Dumbledore was very satisfied with Rolf's sensitivity, and he said in a deep voice:
"If these prisoners had just been imprisoned, their mental condition might indeed be very good, but most of the prisoners in this corridor are Death Eaters who have been imprisoned for thirteen years. They should not be like this."
Just when the two were wondering, the dementor floated to a cell. After it opened the cell door, it sent Barty Crouch inside.
Next door to that cell was a man. He was short and as thin as a scarecrow, with a rat face and sunken eyes, like two black holes.
"Please, give me some water... please." The man begged in a hoarse voice.
Seeing how pitiful the man was, a young Auror hesitated for a moment, then took off the water bottle from his waist and handed it to the man.
The man held the kettle tightly with both hands and swallowed hungrily. The water flowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped into his beard.
"Eddie, we are prohibited from giving anything to prisoners!" A middle-aged Auror with gray hair criticized severely:
"You have violated Article 4, Article 8 of the Azkaban Code."
"uncle……"
"What uncle?" the middle-aged Auror scolded: "How many times have I told you, you must show your duties when working!"
"Yes, Mr. Captain." Eddie said flatteringly, "I will never dare to do that again."
While the Aurors were talking, Dumbledore looked at the man drinking water and asked, "Rolph, do you know who he is?"
Rolf shook his head.
"Rodolphus Lestrange." Dumbledore introduced: "He is Sirius's cousin-in-law."
When Luo Fu heard this, he immediately became interested and looked at the man seriously.
It turns out that this is Bellatrix's husband. I don't know if he knows that his wife has always been deeply in love with the Dark Lord.
If he could really see Rodolphus one day, Rolf would definitely ask him about this in person.
After putting Barty Crouch into the cell, the Aurors took Barty Crouch Jr. to the opposite cell.
Next door to that cell was a woman with dark skin and thick lips. She was very thin, with a layer of skin covering her bones. Two crazy black eyes stared out from her haggard face.
The woman lay beside the iron fence and said in a hoarse voice:
"Barty Crouch Jr., didn't you die long ago? I saw your body being dragged out, and I was sad for a long time. Why did you come back to life?"
Barty Crouch Jr. looked up at the woman. He examined it for a moment and said with some uncertainty:
"Are you...Bellatrix?!"
"It's me." Bella grinned, showing her yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "How did you escape?"
Little Barty was about to explain when the middle-aged Auror scolded him: "Shut up, prisoners are not allowed to communicate with each other."
Bella laughed loudly and said, "I know even if you don't tell me, it was Barty Crouch who sent you out, right?"
"You were captured by Rolf Scamander again and sent back again. Do you hate him? I will take you to kill that kid..."
When Roof heard Bella's words, he looked shocked. Of course, what shocked him was not that Bella wanted to kill him, but that she knew the causes and consequences of Barty Crouch Jr....
Bellatrix was obviously imprisoned in Azkaban, how could she know so many things? !
The Auror was obviously aware of this, and just as he was about to ask, he heard a scream coming from behind him.
The middle-aged Auror looked back and saw his nephew Eddie lying on the ground wailing, his hands dripping with blood.
It turned out that when Rodolphus was returning the kettle, he suddenly grabbed Eddie's arm through the gap in the fence, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit off two of his fingers.
Rodolphus chewed his fingers, stuck out his tongue, licked the blood from his mouth, and said with a cruel smile:
"Boy, this is the result of overflowing compassion... Jie Jie Jie!"
The remaining two Aurors took out their wands, but what happened next caught everyone by surprise:
Bella and Rodolphus also raised their wands, and red light shot through the corridor. The two Aurors fainted on the ground before they could react.
Barty Crouch Jr. asked with a dull look on his face: "You...how do you have a wand?"
Bella did not answer, but looked humbly at the motionless Dementor and asked:
"Master...want to kill Barty Crouch?"
"No need." A hoarse voice sounded from the body of the dementor.
"Killing Barty Crouch now will definitely alert Fudge. Use the Forgetting Curse to erase his memory."
"Yes." Bella took out a key, opened the cell door, and walked out.
The dementor looked at Barty Crouch Jr., and suddenly lifted its hood, revealing a terrifying face.
What's even more creepy is that on the back of the Dementor's head, there is a face:
The color is as white as chalk, the red eyes are shining, and underneath are two slender nostrils like snakes.
Voldemort asked in a hoarse voice:
"Barty Crouch Jr., long time no see. Are you still as loyal to me as you were then?"
Bellatrix walked to the cell and pointed her wand at Barty Crouch.
Before Crouch fell into coma, he saw his son kneeling on the ground, kissing the Dementor's robe passionately. He said excitedly:
"Master...I have always been your most loyal servant!"
