Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ivan hurriedly interrupted their words.
"You two, please stop. Now is not the time to be busy pursuing the responsibility. The best thing we should do now is to tell Professor Dumbledore about this matter, and I believe he will make a decision! "
"That's right, Hals." Moody looked at Crouch contemptuously, and arguing lazily, turned to point his wand at him, and said. "Let's go, Batty! Do you need my help?"
"I will go by myself!" Crouch snorted coldly, and walked out of the room on his own, towards the principal's office on the top floor of the main tower.
Along the way, Ivan and Moody stood side by side and stared at his every move, lest he had any thoughts of running away.
However, Crouch was very honest throughout the whole process and made no small movements, leading directly to the principal's office.
Moody said the password to open the door, and then the few people walked up the spiral staircase together.
Fortunately, Dumbledore happened to be in the principal's room, and they did not make a trip in vain.
"Hals, Batty, Alastor... It seems that you have something important to look for me?" Dumbledore's gaze swept across Ivan and the others, paying attention to the expressions of the others, with a deep voice. Said.
"Yes, Professor, it's a very important thing!" Ivan nodded, then turned to look at Crouch, "But I think it's better to let Mr. Crouch personally say it."
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore fixed his gaze on Crouch's decadent face.
Crouch sighed, and didn’t talk any more nonsense. He started talking about Barty Jr. from Azkaban more than a decade ago when he was soft-hearted, and continued to talk about himself in the World Quidditch Cup. For a while, Batty took advantage of the gap, broke free from the shackles, and now disappeared.
"That's best, Barty! I'll stare at you all the time..." Moody grinned, staring at Crouch fiercely.
Ivan couldn't talk in the whole process, so he could only stand aside dullly and listen to their discussion.
Ivan’s opinion on Crouch’s handling of the problem is the same as Moody’s. He thinks it’s best to imprison this guy. After all, no one knows whether a father can deal with his erring son.
And the magic oath is not omnipotent.
While Ivan was thinking silently, the discussion in the principal's room suddenly stopped, and Ivan raised his head somewhat unexpectedly to find that everyone was looking at him.
"I've heard Alastor talk about it just now... You did a good job this time, Hals!" Dumbledore broke the calm by speaking, and said admiringly.
In his opinion, it is not easy for Ivan to draw out the truth from Crouch by relying on the few clues collected and the two reports of the Daily Prophet, especially when he is only fourteen years old this year.
"I just helped a little bit, this time I was able to catch Mr. Crouch thanks to Professor Moody..." Ivan humbly replied The voice is getting lower and lower, because of him Suddenly realized that the Lord was still here.
Moody didn't care about Crouch's thoughts at all, he patted Ivan on the shoulder and grinned. "Don't be so humble, Hals, you are simply a natural Auror! If you are able to serve in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, I am afraid that you can become the executive director for a few years at most, and even the minister is not without hope."
Ivan shrugged. He always thought that the born Auror was not a compliment, because in his impression, the duty of Auror was usually to wash the ground after the war, or as cannon fodder to be killed by a spike. The power of the wizard.
"Halse, I heard that you have had some conflicts with your friends recently?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.
"Ah, isn't it a contradiction?" Ivan scratched his head, not sure whether Dumbledore was talking about Hermione or Ron, and wondering why the old professor suddenly turned the topic here, they are not talking now. Are you serious?
Dumbledore nodded and nodded, confirming Ivan's words, and stopped asking more questions, turning to the two of them. "Next, I may need to chat with Mr. Crouch alone for a while. If you have nothing else, you can first consider going to the auditorium to enjoy today's dinner..."
