"Dobby, what's wrong with you?"
Louis suddenly noticed that the house elf Dobby's mood seemed a little wrong. He was staring blankly in the direction of the flames.
"More than?"
"First... sir." Dobby came back to his senses, "That's where Mr. Crouch's tent is, it's Mr. Winky, winky..."
"Winky?" Louis frowned. Voldemort wanted to make some big noise here. He just wanted to get Harry and resurrect Voldemort. Harry was an extremely important part.
There is a protective spell called love cast by his mother in Harry's body, and that power exists in his blood. It is precisely because of this that Voldemort cannot touch Harry, and it was also the reason why Quirrell transformed. The main cause of ash.
However, Voldemort has always looked down on house elves, so logically, he shouldn't be targeted by them if he dodges.
"Yes, sir." Dobby's tone was a little urgent. "Winky didn't tell sir before, but Dobby knew that Winky had mentioned it to Dobby before. She knew some secrets within the Ministry of Magic."
It would be pure nonsense for a house elf to know Ministry of Magic secrets. But Winky is different. As an elf from a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, she serves the Crouch family day and night. Barty Crouch is under great pressure both internally and externally, and his family must always watch for his son's betrayal. Naturally, sometimes, Crouch The husband would intentionally or unintentionally do things at work to relieve stress. Over time, it was not surprising that Winky knew some things about the Ministry of Magic.
"Fred, George, please go back and inform Mr. Weasley." Louis said quickly, "There is something wrong with Barty Crouch's tent."
"Then what should you do, Louis?" The twin brothers Erru Lingtai, the chaotic scene here made them a little worried.
"I'll be fine, don't worry."
Louis waved at both of them, then grabbed Dobby's hand on the left.
If it was true that Winky was taken away by them, the situation would seem urgent. Voldemort would not show any mercy to wizards, let alone house elves.
The Weasley brothers didn't ask any questions. They followed the flow of people and hurried to the camp tent.
"Dobby, please, please take me there."
. . . . . .
Outside Barty Crouch's tent, the entire tent was burning with raging fire. There were even several Ministry of Magic Aurors working to put out the fire. However, the fire was so fierce that it did not slow down for a while.
"How's the situation?" Barty Crouch, who had a beard and was dressed dignifiedly, was walking in a hurry from the east. After the game, he did not return to the tent immediately, but accompanied Fudge and the Ministers of Magic of Bulgaria and Ireland.
Fortunately, he was not harmed by the attack.
"We did not find any creatures in the tent. In other words, this attack only damaged some paper items." One of the Aurors said.
"Do you know who did it?"
"It is still unknown. The attacker did not leave any traces of magic." The Auror shook his head, which made Barty Crouch very angry.
"Where is Alastor Moody? Isn't he responsible for the safety of this scene?" Barty Crouch said in a serious tone, "The tent of the chairman of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic was attacked, but he didn't even show his face. Don't think that He will no longer listen to my orders from the Ministry of Magic after he retires!"
"Mr. Moody went after the suspect and he had some clues..."
"He's talking nonsense!" Mr. Crouch interrupted him rudely, "Who dares to launch an attack at the World Cup!"
That was true, but he knew what the purpose of the attackers was. He trusts Moody's tracking abilities, but once the attacker is caught, his secrets about Azkaban's criminals will be revealed.
"Have you found a house elf?" Mr. Crouch suddenly remembered something.
"House elf? Mr. Crouch, did you bring the house elf?"
"Don't worry so much, just ask if you saw it?"
"We did not find any traces of elves at the scene, sir." Although the Auror was a little surprised that Mr. Crouch would ask such a question, he still answered truthfully.
"Where did this damn Winky go?" Mr. Crouch muttered, and at this moment, Fudge appeared panting with a big belly, followed by some senior officials from the Ministry of Magic.
"Barty! Oh, my!" Fudge was really shocked when he saw this scene. He quickly arranged for Ministry of Magic officials to accompany the Aurors to evacuate the panicked crowd.
"It's probably some playful kids causing trouble, Connelly," Barty Crouch explained.
"A playful kid? A playful kid wouldn't do such a thing, Crouch." Before Fudge could say anything, a rough voice not far away came from far away. In the firelight, a man with a somewhat muscular physique A slightly obese figure with a limp appeared in everyone's sight.
"Alastor, have you found the attacker?" Fudge couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw the attacker. Alastor Moody could be his reassurance.
"Alastor? Is this Alastor Moody?" Louis, who was hiding in the dark, had already arrived at the scene with Dobby, but Crouch and Fudge appeared one after another, so he did not choose to appear.
Louis carefully observed the appearance of this legendary Auror. He had thick dark gray hair, his face looked scarred, a large piece of his nose was missing, he was wearing a large dark brown jacket, and his left leg was replaced with a prosthesis. The most iconic thing is the movable magic eye, which can see through obstacles and even the back of his head.
Lewis even felt Moody's eyes glancing towards his hidden side, which made him feel so angry that he dared not speak out.
Fortunately, Moody did not reveal anything, and his entire focus was on the argument with Barty Crouch.
"Not a playful boy? Then what do you think it is, Moody." Barty Crouch sneered. He didn't have much good luck with Alastor Moody.
"Maybe it's a Death Eater, or maybe it's the Dark Lord himself." Moody said, "This is their usual method of creating a lot of panic in a venue."
"Mysterious man? Joke."
"The mysterious man has been gone for thirteen years! I'm afraid your paranoia has started again Moody."
Barty Crouch firmly opposed it, but in his heart he began to struggle wildly.
Because of his son, he knew that Barty Crouch was taken to the World Cup by Winky, so the Death Eater would most likely choose this time to take action.
"Dumbledore will be back soon." Moody took out a bunch of hair from his hand. "I found this around the tent. It seems to be the hair of a house elf."
