Chapter 724 The Missing Dementor
After leaving the Pensieve, Rolf and Dumbledore returned to the Headmaster's office.
The two of them sat on the chairs, and neither of them spoke for a while. They were both quietly digesting the memory that contained a huge amount of information.
Rolf had known that Voldemort had a new helper. He had suspected many people, and even thought about Malfoy, but he never thought that it would be...a dementor.
But it has to be said that Voldemort's inhabiting the back of the Dementor's head is indeed a clever move. Not only can he easily contact the Death Eaters in Azkaban, but he can also rescue them silently.
But when did Voldemort come into contact with the Dementor and inhabit it?
Luo Fu rubbed his brows, suddenly remembered something, and he said:
"Professor, do you remember that a dementor disappeared in Azkaban last year?"
Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, looked at the boy with a half-smile, and corrected:
"Rolf, two dementors are missing from Akazban. One of them came back a few months later, and the other one has not come back yet."
Luofu looked at the old man's sharp eyes that seemed to see everything. He scratched his hair and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen a dementor somewhere."
He seemed to be trying to remember, and suddenly he said:
"I remembered that it was in my box - I was patrolling on a Thunderbird, and I saw a Dementor floating in the air..."
From the tone of Rolf's words, it was as if the Dementor himself had accidentally "lost" himself into his box.
These words were undoubtedly despised by the portraits of the principals on the wall. Even Phineas Black said in a strange tone:
"You caught the Dementor and pretended that it had nothing to do with you. You kid doesn't come to our Slytherin house. It's really an insult to your talent."
"I didn't catch that dementor." Rolf rolled his eyes and said, "Principal Black, don't talk nonsense, or be careful of me suing you for slander!"
Dumbledore smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with Rolf. If I guess correctly, it was Swinton and Miss Granger who caught him in the secret passage leading to Honeydukes in the school."
Rolf couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that there was nothing that Hogwarts could hide from Dumbledore!
However, he still pretended to be surprised and said, pretending to be confused: "Is this happening? I will definitely teach Shirley and Hermione a lesson when I go back."
This unintentional remark was unanimously booed by the portraits of the principal.
Luo Fu quickly changed the subject and said:
"During Easter last year, Peter Pettigrew used the Imperius Curse to control Thor Crocker, the silent man in the Department of Mysteries, and defrauded Hermione of the Time-Turner."
"I discovered the problem and chased him with Shirley and Hermione until I reached Hogsmeade.
Then Peter Pettigrew attracted a group of dementors, attacked the three of us, and took advantage of the chaos to take Voldemort with him, using a time turner to return to Halloween the year before last. "
Rolph paused and said with bright eyes: "The other dementor was the one that disappeared near Hogsmeade during the Easter holiday last year."
Dumbledore already understood what Rolf meant. The tips of his two slender fingers touched each other, and his chin was placed on the fingertips. His eyes looked at the young man through the half-moon lenses and said:
"You mean, the missing Dementor was taken away by Peter Pettigrew using a time turner."
"I think so." Rolf nodded: "After Peter Pettigrew died, Voldemort attached himself to that dementor, and then they went to Azkaban together to contact his Death Eaters. "
"This guess is very reliable and reasonable." Dumbledore pondered. What else was he going to say? There was a sudden noise outside the door.
Soon the door was pushed open and a large group of people came in:
Minister Fudge, Umbridge, followed closely by Moody.
Rolf was a little confused. Professor Moody obviously went directly to Fudge's house to find him, so why could Umbridge also come?
Umbridge wouldn't be at Fudge's house in the middle of the night, reporting to him, right?
This is too much effort!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Fudge rushed to Rove excitedly, grabbed his hand tightly, and said enthusiastically:
"Rolph, I've heard what Alastor said - it's great that you caught Barty Crouch. It helped me solve an urgent need."
Rita Skeeter revealed Barty Crouch's escape from prison, causing Fudge to be under a lot of pressure recently.
But now that Rove has captured Barty Crouch, even if it's just a corpse, it's enough to serve the people.
Fudge could once again live quietly as his Minister for Magic.
"Barty Crouch actually dared to use the Fire Curse to burn Durmstrang's ship. He is really crazy."
Minister Fudge held Rove's hand and said happily:
"Fortunately, you discovered the fire and saved many Durmstrang students. I think I may apply for you to be awarded the Order of Merlin again."
"You are only fourteen years old and you are about to receive three Orders of Merlin. This is really shocking..."
"Thank you, Minister Fudge." Rove said with a smile: "But I was not the only one who put out the fire, there were also my classmates Swinton and Granger... I will make a list for you later. See if you can Please help me apply for the Order of Merlin."
"..."
Just when Fudge was in a daze, Rove took out his hand and continued:
"Also...Barty Crouch didn't set the fire, it was his son Barty Crouch Jr."
"Who? Barty Crouch Jr.?"
Fudge and Professor McGonagall looked blank when they first heard the name, and then immediately denied it:
"No, that's impossible...he's in Azkaban!"
"Barty Crouch was also imprisoned in Azkaban, didn't he still escape from prison?" Rove retorted.
Minister Fudge was speechless for a moment. He thought for a moment and then asked hurriedly: "Then did you catch him?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and said, "Barty Crouch Jr. was seriously injured, but he still used Apparition to escape."
Fudge felt it was dark for a moment. Catching Barty Crouch would have been enough to calm the public's anger.
But now that another little Barty has escaped, things are suddenly back to square one.
But what Dumbledore said next was like a heavy blow, hitting Fudge hard on the head.
"Connelly, not only Barty Crouch Jr., but also all the Death Eaters currently imprisoned in Azkaban have probably escaped."
Fudge blinked dazedly and stared at Dumbledore, as if he couldn't completely believe what he just heard.
The next second, his eyes darkened and he fell towards the ground.
"Minister...Minister Fudge!"
