Chapter 277 275. Interrogation

"Mr. Weasley?"

Little Barty asked calmly.

Percy nodded and took a deep breath.

"Yes, I am Percy Weasley."

Little Barty pointed to the chair opposite him, which was usually only occupied by prisoners in the magic world.

"You should know who I am. Don't be too nervous. We just have some questions to consult you. After all, you are a real professional in some aspects."

His polite words made Percy feel a little relieved, but his tense body never relaxed.

Percy followed Little Barty's instructions and sat obediently on the iron chair opposite him. The iron chain tied to the armrest was very cold. Even if Percy's hands were handcuffed, the coldness had almost penetrated into his body.

Little Barty picked up a piece of parchment that looked like a file from the table in front of him. He glanced at a line of words in the parchment and looked up at Percy's eyes.

"Jon Green. This is the name you reported to the Aurors when you first came to the Ministry of Magic last September. He was directly related to the case at Hogwarts Castle at the beginning of last year?"

Hearing Barty's first question, Percy breathed a sigh of relief again, and he said calmly.

"Yes, sir, at that time I reported to the Aurors that after the case at Hogwarts Castle, it was Jon Green and two other professors who brought those mudblood students back to the carriage. Dumbledore announced to everyone that it was Jon's credit to rescue these people."

Barty listened to him repeating his confession at that time, lowered his head to look at the information in his hand, and continued his words.

"At that time, the Aurors judged that a third-year student could not do that anyway, so it was speculated that this student named Jon Green was just a smoke bomb released by Dumbledore, and there was someone else who actually sneaked into Hogwarts Castle?"

Hearing him talk about this, Percy became a little excited and raised his voice.

"I have emphasized to the Aurors who asked me about this matter that Dumbledore generally does not lie to students, especially such lies will bring unnecessary danger to Jon Green, so this is very likely not a smokescreen, at least Jon Green made a major contribution to the case, but they did not take it seriously! Have you found any new evidence?"

Little Barty put down the information in his hand, his face was obviously uglier than before.

"You will not be held responsible for this matter, and these Aurors will be punished for their dereliction of duty, but we have more important things to know next."

He stared at Percy, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Tell me all the information you know about Jon Green, his habits, his preferences, his personality, and his social life in school."

Under this gaze, Percy's breathing became rapid.

He felt that things were not simple. If only the Death Eaters found clues that Jon had sneaked into Hogwarts Castle, then the person who interrogated him here today should not be Barty Jr. He should be sitting in the office of the Auror Command, drinking tea and chatting with Lucius Malfoy.

Then there could only be a bigger problem! And this problem is related to Jon Green!

Percy did not hold back, he told everything he knew about Jon.

But in fact, when he defected from the Hogwarts carriage, Jon had only been in the carriage for a year, and in his first year, Jon did not show any outstanding deeds.

At that time, he was privately studying brain occlusion and magic related to the ring with Slughorn. Even if Jon and Ron were not in the same grade, Percy at that time might not be able to remember Jon's name.

After Jon's second year, he was not in school until he returned to the Hogwarts carriage with Hermione, and Percy had no way of knowing any information about him.

So the information Percy could provide was very limited. At most, he could only let Barty know that it seemed that Dumbledore didn't pay much attention to Jon in the first grade, but he disappeared for a while in the second grade, that is, after the days of sneaking into Hogwarts Castle, there was a major change.

Barty looked very disappointed, and Percy also noticed the disappointment on his face. The calmness that he had been able to maintain became uneasy.

"Mr. Crouch, can I know what Jon Green did?"

He spoke carefully, as if he was afraid of causing Barty's displeasure, but even so, Barty stood up from the chair in annoyance.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't know!"

He no longer maintained the minimum courtesy before, and angrily scolded Percy, then raised his wand and swung it at the iron door.

The door was suddenly opened, and Barty Jr. walked out quickly. Percy also stood up. However, before he could leave the iron chair, the pair of shackles on the armrests suddenly rose up by themselves, and with a "click" sound, they controlled his hands!

"Take out his memories about Jon Green and keep them on file! Then call that idiot Lockhart over here, and change the memory of this interrogation for me."

After hearing this order in the interrogation room, Percy fell back on the iron chair with a pale face. Soon, two of the three Death Eaters who brought him here also walked in.

They looked at Percy who was already slumped in the chair without showing any sympathy. The witch in the lead just pulled out her wand.

"Anything else you want to say? Soon you will lose all your memory of us and this interrogation."

Percy breathed heavily, his eyes were filled with bloodshot, and he looked at the witch.

"What did Jon Green do!"

The witch and her companion looked at each other, and she pointed the tip of the wand at Percy's temple and said coldly.

"This is something you shouldn't know, but Lockhart will be here soon, so it's okay to tell you. Your former classmate, he killed Lord Rabastan Lestrange!"

The next moment Percy heard this, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes became scattered.

A silver light was slowly and forcefully drawn out of his brain!

Damn it, it's still 6,000 today, and I have to write two two-in-ones tomorrow!
