The two were in chaos, and Andy was sitting in Dumbledore's office when the Ministry of Magic was in chaos.

The two instigators had just come out of the Pensieve, and Dumbledore showed Andy another memory.

Andy slowly recalled what he had just seen. In this memory, he saw Barty Crouch Jr.

Barty Jr. was only in his teens at that time, no more than 20 years old, very young and immature.

He and three other people were taken into a circular court scene, like in a dungeon.

They had gone through several trials before, and Andy also saw Karkaroff, who was also suspected of being a Death Eater, but he argued that he was wronged and gave out the names of several Death Eaters, and finally succeeded in getting away with the crime.

After Karkaroff, it was Barty the Younger's turn. Several Dementors guarded Barty the Younger, and several other wizards entered the dungeon.

Dementors were tall, gray and black, floating in the air with hoods. They were humanoid black magic creatures, and the evil breath could be felt just by approaching.

They could absorb people's joyful emotions, and they were also the guards of Azkaban.

The steps around the dungeon were full of wizards, including Dumbledore.

Barty the Younger's father, Barty Crouch Sr., sat on the main seat in the middle.

His face was livid, he stood up, and shouted to his son and the other three people: "You are accused of kidnapping two Aurors - Frank Longbottom and his wife, and using the Cruciatus Curse on them..."

"Father! I didn't!"

Little Barty, who was controlled in the hall, screamed.

Mr. Crouch turned a deaf ear and continued to read out the charges against the four people.

During this period, Little Barty kept shouting.

After the reading, at the strong request of Mr. Crouch, the jury made a verdict on the four people, Azkaban, life imprisonment.

Hearing this result, Little Barty looked desperately at a wizard sitting next to Mr. Crouch, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Little Barty.

"Mother! Stop him! I didn't participate! No, no! I'm your son!"

The witch he called mother covered her face and cried sadly, not daring to look at Little Barty's face at all, and fainted on the ground in despair not long after.

Mr. Crouch seemed not to see it, and yelled at Barty Jr.: "I don't have a son! You are not my son!"

"Take them away!"

...

The two withdrew from the Pensieve, and their memories faded.

What a famous scene of a loving father and a filial son.

Andy: "Is Barty Crouch always so unkind?"

Dumbledore replied: "This is his style. He always advocates not giving any mercy to dark wizards."

"If Barty Jr. had not been discovered to be a Death Eater, he might have become the Minister of Magic."

If Barty Crouch had become the Minister of Magic, the Ministry of Magic would not be like this now.

Andy sat in a chair, holding another letter written by Rita Skeeter in his hand, folding it casually and playing with it.

The words in the letter were quite excited, and Rita Skeeter's excitement seemed to be conveyed through the words.

In the letter, she called Andy "Respected Sir" and asked Andy to tell her if he knew more facts.

After a period of fermentation, with the tips provided by Andy, Rita Skeeter took off and became a hot reporter in the entire news industry.

The Daily Prophet also saw a surge in sales, because when other newspapers remained silent, the Daily Prophet was the first newspaper to dare to tell the truth.

Other newspapers had no way to express their suffering. It was not that they did not want to report, but they did not know.

Rita Skeeter's report was truly exclusive news, relying on Andy's first-hand information. Others had no channels to get it.

In the past week, the sales of the Daily Prophet broke through one peak after another, and the editor-in-chief's face was crooked with laughter.

Andy asked: "Can Sirius clear his reputation now?"

Peter has been confirmed to be a Death Eater, so Sirius, who took the initiative to pursue him, is of course relatively clean.

Dumbledore shook his head: "Not yet, Sirius's previous actions were not completely innocent... He broke into the castle several times and threatened the lives of others. He has to wait until Peter's affairs are completely revealed before he can restore his reputation."

"We know the truth, but others may not be so."

"Fudge is unwilling to come forward. With the current state of the Ministry of Magic, it is estimated that there will be chaos for a while..."

Andy fell into thought.

Dumbledore asked softly: "Andy, what are you thinking about?"

Andy: "I don't know myself. I feel very strange recently. I always feel that something has been overlooked, but I can't calm down."

"But maybe I don't think that matter is that important, so I don't concentrate on thinking about it."

Dumbledore: "Would you like a glass of lemon juice?"

"No, thank you, I don't like sour drinks."

"That's a pity."

Dumbledore poured himself a glass.

He didn't ask Andy what he was worried about.

If Andy didn't want to say it himself, it would be useless for him to dig deep.

In just two weeks, Andy had been in and out of Dumbledore's headmaster's office many times.

After the Peter incident, the contact between the two became more and more frequent.

Dumbledore would pull him into the office from time to time and experience the Pensieve together.

The memories Dumbledore gave were a bit messy, as if his mind was really not clear.

Whenever Andy came, he would mix up many memory fragments and then show them all.

Most of these memory fragments were of little value, and even a little funny.

But there were also some that Andy was quite interested in.

The last time, the memory Andy saw was also a thing that happened when Peter was still a student.

Snape also appeared in it.

Snape, Peter, and Sirius were of the same age and used to be students of Slytherin College.

Snape in his youth looked no different from now.

The same unkempt, confident and arrogant, without any friends in school.

It was simply a natural villain template.

James and Sirius had more eccentric personalities. Like Harry and Malfoy, the two sides disliked each other since the first grade.

Unlike Malfoy, Snape had no friends, only himself.

So Snape was often bullied by James and Sirius.

Peter sometimes helped them, and sometimes just watched from the side.

Snape was bullied by the four of them and made a fool of himself in front of his classmates.

For example, he was hit by James and others' spells in front of the girls, and was hung in the air with his underwear exposed.

Putting aside the hatred between them, Andy was somewhat gloating to see Snape in such a mess.

School bullying is really terrible, but it is just right for Snape.

Andy was not surprised at all that Dumbledore knew these things.

Dumbledore had been in Hogwarts for so long, so of course he knew a lot of secrets.
