Elwyn revealed the shocking truth, but judging from the expressions of Sirius and Mr. Weasley, it was obvious that they did not believe it.
"Barty helped his son escape from Azkaban?" Mr. Weasley said in surprise. "How is that possible? He wouldn't do such a thing."
He looked at Elwyn worriedly, then turned to look at Sirius.
Mr. Weasley had a panicked expression on his face, completely at a loss as to what to do.
It looked like he wanted the two of them to shout "Happy April Fool" at him together.
"Elwyn, I thought you knew Crouch's nature quite well." Sirius continued to try to persuade him. "Believe me, he wouldn't even say a word for his son during the trial at Wiesengamo, let alone break the law to help him escape from prison. Anything that threatens his reputation, he will certainly cast aside. He has no fatherly love at all."
"But you also said that Crouch is ruthless. If there was a way to rescue his son without being discovered, why wouldn't he do it?"
"That is Azkaban, the most heavily guarded wizard prison," Sirius said impatiently. "You'll know what it looks like once you take a look. How did Crouch bring a living person out of there under the watch of thousands of Dementors? "
"Dementors don't have eyes. They can't see their surroundings and can only sense the breath of living creatures. This is also the main reason why you were able to successfully escape back then." Elwyn said stubbornly, "Crouch only needed to play a little trick to deceive those Dementors."
"What trick?" Sirius asked, frowning tightly.
"Compound decoction," Elwyn said softly. "He used compound decoction to make his wife look like his son. The Dementors can't see it. They can only smell a healthy person and a dying person walking in, and a healthy person and a dying person leaving."
After Elwyn finished speaking, Mr. Weasley and Sirius didn't say anything.
The expressions on their faces were extremely shocked, as if trying to find a loophole in this plan, but after thinking for a long time, they realized that there was no way to refute Elwyn. uu1;
"Is there any proof?" Sirius asked.
"No." Elwyn shook his head. He really did not have any evidence. "If you are willing to search Crouch's house, use the truth serum on him, or check his wife's grave, you may find something."
"Crazy, completely crazy," said Mr. Weasley. "Anyone who dares to suggest doing these things to the most powerful official of the Ministry of Magic will immediately go home or be sent to the hospital for examination. With all due respect, for the sake of safety, I think you should go and take a look as well. "
"Alright, Arthur," Sirius said heavily, "Elwyn is just too stressed. If we were also cursed, we wouldn't be any better off than him."
"But …"
"This is all your reasoning, a crazy reasoning," said Sirius, looking at Elwyn seriously, as if he was seeing him for the first time. "Elwyn, if I didn't know you very well, I would definitely think that you have lost your mind due to the curse of the Lord Voldemort."
"We better not talk about this anymore," Mr. Weasley said softly. "Barty Crouch helped his son break out of prison. Just thinking about it is crazy enough."
"But what I said just now, is indeed possible," said Elwyn.
To be honest, he was a little disheartened.
He had no way of convincing Sirius, Mr. Weasley, and the others. The positive image of Barty Crouch was too deeply rooted in their hearts.
If he continued talking about it, it would only make others doubt him.
Revealing this in advance was just asking for trouble. He could only let time prove everything. uu2;
Since he could not stop everything in its bud, he could only think of a way next semester.
At that time, with the help of the Marauder's Map, things would become slightly easier.
"What you said is indeed possible, but I still say the same thing, you don't know Barty Crouch, he would not do such a thing, he would definitely …"
"Don't let your guard down, anything is possible."
At this moment, an old voice came from behind the oak door behind Elwyn.
The door opened, and Sirius quickly moved in front of Elwyn, pulling out his wand as fast as he could. He looked ahead vigilantly, but quickly put it down again.
Elwyn poked his head out and saw an old man standing at the door.
He was leaning on a long cane, and was wrapped in a black traveling cloak.
Seeing the man's face, Elwyn was shocked and instinctively took half a step back.
The face looked like it was carved out of a rotten piece of wood. The carver only had a vague idea of what a human face looked like, and was not very good at using a carving knife. Every inch of the skin on the face seemed to be covered in scars, and the mouth was like a crooked mouth, where the nose should have been was missing.
The scariest thing about the man was his eyes. One of his eyes was very small, black, and shiny, while the other was very big, round like a coin, and was a bright blue.
The blue eye kept moving without blinking, moving up and down, left and right, completely unrelated to the normal eye. uu3;
Then, the blue eye rolled, and burrowed into the man's head, leaving only a big white eyeball.
Elwyn was stunned by this strange appearance, and stared at the man without blinking.
Almost instantly, he knew who this man was, mad-eye Moody.
Moody scrutinized Elwyn and Sirius, and walked over with his cane.
"Blake, I've read the recent reports about you. So you're not guilty?" He held out a hand, which was full of scars just like his face.
"Yes, I've been proven innocent." Sirius shook his hand, and the man moved closer.
"Your family's tradition isn't very good. Although Dumbledore is willing to believe you, I don't think so," he said bluntly, and turned to look at Elwyn.
"I'm sorry I eavesdropped on your conversation. If you want to secretly talk bad about a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic next time, you'd better not choose a place like this."
His normal eye stared at Elwyn, and the blue eye kept moving around in its socket. "But I have to say, I just heard a wonderful reasoning, very wonderful. I haven't heard such reasoning in a long time."
"Thank you," Elwyn replied subconsciously.
"Kid, you have the potential to become an Auror. I'm looking forward to seeing you." He reached into his travel cloak, took out a curved bottle of wine, and took a big gulp.
