Chapter 466： Sparkling testimony

Amelia Bones showed a surprised expression, the monocle on her face was about to slip off, she took it off and wiped the lenses.

"Dumbledore, if I'm not mistaken, neither of them has an owner..."

Shining stood there with a blank expression, until then, she suddenly screamed: "No Shining belongs to the Crouch family! Shining has his own master! His name is Barty Crouch"

"No!" Dobby retorted, "Wizards, Mr. Barty Crouch gave Xie Xing freedom! Dobby saw it with his own eyes!" Xing closed her eyes and shouted, "No! No! No! No! Dobby shouted in a louder voice, "Now Shining is a free elf just like Dobby!" He puffed out his chest proudly, and saw the wizards around him stunned for a moment.

I've never seen such a different kind of elf, no, some people have seen it in the "Future World" company, and they turned their heads to Felix.

Felix said calmly: "Dobby once served a large family, and later he was free. I gave him a job," he emphasized, "It's just a job."

"I have long heard that the "Future World" company has a group of weird house elves." A wizard muttered.

Shining was still screaming, and Fudge interrupted her unceremoniously, "Goblin! Your name is Shining? Was Barty Crouch's house-elf?"

"No, no, no," Shining was still yelling. She was already rolling on the ground, tears and nose pouring out of her brain. Dobby tried to pull her up, but it undoubtedly failed. He stood in front of Shine and waved the slender helplessly. Arm, "Yes! Her name is Shining, and my name is Dobby."

"Dumbledore, do you want them to testify? The house elves are not credible"

"I don't think so," Dumbledore said with a smile. "You can tell from the clothes on their bodies that their will is completely theirs. There is no need to worry about them being bound by a magic contract that cannot be violated."

Fudge stared at the sparkle rolling on the ground, "Are you sure? Except for one more dress, she is no different from other house elves."

"Dobby, you can talk about what happened that night," Felix said. "Only what you can see in Crouch's Old House."

"Oh, of course! Dobby would be happy!" Dobby quickly told what happened that night. He only mentioned the cold voice and Crouch's abnormal behavior, but most of the people present believed it, at least They almost confirmed that Crouch was indeed controlled, and that the man was not Little Crouch, he was still at Hogwarts.

While Dobby was speaking, Shining gradually calmed down, sobbing in a low voice.

"He didn't mention that person." Amelia Burns took a quick glance at the record and asked, raising her head.

"Dobby is an outsider. If it wasn't for inviting friends to spend Christmas together, he had nothing to do with this matter," Felix said. "As for more information," he looked at the elf sitting on the ground and said gently. : "Shin, your testimony is very useful, at least it can prove that Mr. Barty Crouch is not an evil lunatic."

"The master is not a lunatic!" Shining shouted hoarsely, "He has a terrible magic!"

"So Sparkle? Is it the name? Can you tell me more specifically?" Amelia Burns asked. "If the truth is otherwise hidden, I can consider re-interrogating Barty Crouch."

"Will the master be released?" Shining asked excitedly, and finally she didn't go crazy anymore.

"Impossible!" Fudge yelled, "Impossible." He said it again, and Ms. Bones glanced at him reproachfully, then turned to Yan and said, "Not guilty...Impossible, but we will. Reconsidering his sentence, you must know that he was originally imprisoned for life."

Shining eyes gleamed with hope, "Shining... Shining is willing to testify."

"One year ago... the master was still at work, and someone broke in suddenly. He overpowered me and released Master Batty."

"Who is that person?" Ms. Bones asked harshly.

"It's a man named'Peter'. He can become a mouse. Shining has seen it before!" Shining said sharply. The wizards present exchanged their eyes, and someone whispered, "Dwarf Peter." Shining continued to describe. Looking at his appearance, "Short stature, fat, and a little bald...and a pair of small eyes..." She glanced at Fudge and whispered, "It's a bit like the wizard."

Fudge's chest undulated violently, like an ancient bellows, and it seemed to be about to explode.

"Short stature, fat...and a little bald..." Ms. Bones couldn't help but repeat, the magic wand outlines a person in the air, "Is it him?" The portrait in the air is Peter Pettigrew.

"It's him!" Shining confirmed, and mentioned an important message, "He is holding an ugly baby, and he calls that baby the owner!"

There was a loud gasp in the conference room.

"Are you sure it's a baby?" Ms. Bones asked seriously.

"Yes, yes!" Shining stammered, not daring to look at her, "It's a very, very... very ugly baby!"

"When the master came back at night, Master Batty got the magic wand for a long time. He hid under the invisibility cloak and attacked him when the master opened the clothes." Shining panted, and said in pain, "Oh, Batty, this bad Child, he brought back a terrible friend!"

"We know, what's next?"

"After, after... the master was controlled, and she went to work as usual. Shining felt there was no problem, my God!" Shining let out a mournful cry, tears falling like beans, "Xingy still takes care of them and cooks for them..."

"It may be a confusion curse," Felix said.

"Later, they inadvertently mentioned that they were about to sneak attack on someone, to enter the school instead of him and complete a dangerous task."

"What's the task?"

Shining opened her eyes wide. "Xiao Xing doesn't know! When they were discussing things, Xing Xing was ordered to return to her place. Xing was an elf who obeyed the orders, and Xing was a well-behaved elf!"

"Very well, we can probably guess who it is. Alasto is really unlucky. Continue on, what else do you know?"

"The person named Peter disappeared. It is said that he was arrested. After that, Master Batty also left and only came back once more than a dozen days ago. Shining is responsible for taking care of the baby. Shining..." She suddenly showed a frightened expression, "Sometimes Shining Seeing the baby torturing the owner! Shining was watching! Oh, my God!"

She covered her face, tears streaming from her fingers.

"Let's stop here," Felix said, and he gestured to Dobby. Dobby nodded, and pulled Shining away with a "pouch".

The office was shrouded in extremely suppressed silence.

"You should let her finish her sentence." Amelia Burns looked at Felix dissatisfied and said.

"All that should be said. If you want to hear someone's name or the overall plan, unfortunately, you also heard it. She has limited knowledge. In fact, you once had an opportunity, that is, a small Dwarf Peter...Unfortunately, his soul was sucked away by the Dementor."

Fudge stared at him and said word by word: "That little elf was also cursed."

"I can't pretend that it never happened," Felix said. "It should be an obfuscation curse. Voldemort seemed to underestimate the house elves, thinking that the obfuscation curse is enough, or she will be dealt with in the end and not worth wasting. Time. But in short, Shining has not been tampered with, and if there is any objection to this, he can arrange for an examination by the therapist of St. Mungo."

Fudge was stunned for a while, and suddenly got angry, "It's specious evidence again! It's all! I don't know the meaning of our discussion today!"

"Connelly," Dumbledore said wearily, "I raised this issue not to deny or subvert, but to remind something. We discussed this in private, but you, for some reason, Refusing to believe the existing evidence, you should know how much we lost in the last war. Do you want to experience another unprepared war?"

"I'm not you" Fudge was dumbfounded.

"A key question is, do you know what you are doing, Minister Fudge?" Felix said softly.

"What do you mean?" Fudge's face rose to the color of pig liver.

"Let’s make a hypothesis." Felix tilted his head in the direction of Amelia Bones in a way of discussing the problem. "

Ms. Bones fiddled with her monocle to let herself see Felix better.

"We heard two diametrically opposed views today. They don’t give in to each other, but time will prove who is right. It’s just... we need to ask ourselves a question. If a war really happens, do we need someone to be responsible for it? "

"Nonsense!" Fudge exclaimed, "Do you know what you are talking about? Accuse a Minister of Magic, who instructed you to do this?" He looked at Felix fiercely, his eyes on Dumbledore and him. Move between.

"That said, Minister Fudge...I know what I'm talking about, but you don't seem to understand what you are doing." Felix smiled and said, "The above is just a hypothesis, discussing a possibility in the future, isn't it? "

"I really don't have the ability to get an incumbent Minister of Magic to step down or accept punishment." He said contemptuously. Fudge is almost mad now. No one has threatened him so blatantly. Yes, he took Felic. Si's words were treated as blatant threats.

"...But everyone is responsible for his words and deeds, especially those in power." Felix said, "So, I would like to ask everyone here to keep in mind the points of view on both sides of today's debate. Keep it in your heart, and when everything is clear, you will naturally know who to support and who to deny."
