Barty Crouch Jr.

Unlike Bagman, who was considerate of his subordinates, Moody, the senior colleague, had no intention of showing any consideration for his lovely juniors.

As soon as the Auror's hand reached for Moody's waist, he slapped it away and drew his Wand from his waist.

"Flame..."

"Stunning Spell!" *4

Moody, fighting desperately, ultimately failed to cast Flame Spell before being struck by four Stunning Spell simultaneously.

The Shield Charm appeared on its body surface, successfully resisting most of the power of the four Curses, but it eventually shattered.

Kneeling on the ground, Moody used his hands to support himself and barely managed to avoid falling headfirst.

"Expelliarmus!"

A beam of red light shot from the tip of Salomon's Wand, striking Moody. The Curses not only snatched the Wand from Moody's hand but also sent him flying several meters away.

Based on prior analysis, Moody was far more Moody than Bagman.

Therefore, of the nine Auror, only four are around Bagman, while five are around Moody.

Salomon, on the other hand, focused his main attention on the other professors on the field, just in case.

Upon seeing Moody knocked away, the other Auror quickly moved in. After subduing him, they skillfully searched him.

"Captain, it's Polyjuice Potion."

An Auror opened the flask that Moody always carried with him, smelled it, and then spoke loudly to Salomon.

"Yes, use Legilimency on him to find out his identity and purpose, and focus on investigating whether he has any accomplices!"

"Yes!"

Salomon did not lower his guard when he saw his men begin searching Moody's memories.

He scanned everyone in the room with sharp eyes, making sure the other party had accomplices.

"Mr. Redman, are all Auror... this decisive and efficient these days?"

Having also heard Salomon's command, Dumbledore looked at him with surprise and asked.

To limit the power of Auror and prevent them from going berserk, Auror are generally only allowed to use Curses such as Legilimency on prisoners when there is clear evidence that the other party is a heinous criminal.

How dare this guy in front of me do this right off the bat? He's too arrogant!

You see, even he usually only uses Legilimency on Little Wizard secretly. He wouldn't dare do it to adult wizards; they would find out.

Of course, some truly incompetent adult wizards are excluded, such as Professor Lockhart.

"We have always had zero tolerance for Death Eater, Professor."

Salomon certainly understood Dumbledore's meaning. Strictly speaking, his current actions were indeed against the rules.

But tonight, he didn't even report to the headmaster before bringing his men to Hogwarts to arrest someone. Using Legilimency to read someone's memories was even less of a concern.

As it turns out, although this generation of Auror was somewhat weak in overall strength, their basic skills were still very solid.

In less than two minutes, the Auror responsible for searching Moody's memories had carefully reviewed all of the other party's recent memories.

"Report, report, report to the captain!"

The Auror stood up, pale-faced, and stammered to Salomon.

"This, this person's identity is Barty Crouch Jr.., who died many years ago, and is the son of Barty Crouch, the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, who died unexpectedly some time ago."

Years ago, his mother disguised herself as him and died in Azkaban.

He himself had been kept under house arrest by Mr. Crouch, but escaped Mr. Crouch's Imperius Curse during the Quidditch World Cup some time ago.

After regaining his freedom, he found his master, a the Dark Lord whose name could not be mentioned, and under the man's instructions, he attacked Mad-Eye Moody, disguised himself as Moody, and infiltrated Hogwarts.

His goal was to replace the trophy with Portkey in the final match of the Triwizard Tournament and ensure Harry Potter's ultimate victory.

At that time, the Dark Lord will await Harry Potter's arrival at the location where the Portkey was teleported, and will use Harry Potter's blood to complete his resurrection ritual!

Suppressing the waves of terror surging within him, the Auror recounted all the memories he had previously retrieved in one breath.

By the end, his voice was distorted.

Good heavens! What did he see?!

That the Dark Lord, that terrifying, insane, ruthless the Dark Lord, is still alive!?

Just thinking about the terrifying figure of the Dark Lord in Barty Crouch Jr..'s memory made his legs go weak, and he barely managed to stay upright and not fall to the ground.

What's even more terrifying, and even despairing, is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Dark Lord should have already successfully resurrected and regained their powerful strength.

"Merlin! I beg you, sir, to unleash your divine power and subdue that monster!"

After a brief silence, a sudden uproar shattered the tranquility of the night.

The Little Wizard stared incredulously at the Auror in the arena and at the supposedly imposter Professor Moody.

Each of them grew up listening to terrifying legends of the Dark Lord.

When we were little, if we didn't want to go to sleep at night, our parents would scare us by saying that if we didn't behave and go to sleep, a the Dark Lord would come and take us away and devour us alive.

It wasn't until they grew older and learned that the Dark Lord had long since died that the lie could no longer fool them.

Over the years, they have indeed heard rumors from time to time, such as "the Dark Lord is not actually dead, but is secretly planning his comeback."

But the adults all said that this was nonsense, and that the Dark Lord was long gone.

Therefore, they have always treated that statement as a joke.

After all, he's been dead for over a decade. For him to suddenly come back to life now would be too un-magical.

However, tonight, they heard someone say that the terrifying, the Dark Lord had actually come back to life!?

And the one who said those words was actually an Auror!?

That's Auror! Auror can't lie, can they?

After venting their fears by shouting at the top of their lungs, the bewildered Little Wizard finally turned their blank gazes to Professor Dumbledore in the center of the room.

All the wizards in the British Wizarding World know that the only the Dark Lord fears is Professor Dumbledore.

Moreover, Professor Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, has always been a pillar of strength for the Little Wizard.

It's as if as long as Professor Dumbledore is around, no matter what happens, he can always solve it easily in no time.
