Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

Well, thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible, given the habits of wizards.

Hogwarts has rooms that haven't been cleaned for centuries, and it's not impossible for the headmaster's office to have one or two such corners.

After this incident, Harry lost his appetite for candy.

It's unclear whether he stumbled upon some mechanism while picking up the candy, but the display case next to him opened to both sides.

A stone basin about half a person's height was revealed from behind the display case.

The rim of the stone basin is carved with runes and some mysterious symbols, and the water in the basin shimmers with a blue glow, exuding a mysterious aura.

Harry asked curiously, "What is this?"

Zicomo replied, “The Pensieve can preserve thoughts and memories extracted from the mind. By touching the strip-shaped silver substances in the Pensieve, one can access the relevant memory.”

As Zicomo spoke, he moved closer to observe the Pensieve.

Looking at the Pensieve, he remarked, "It seems Dumbledore has quite a few troubles."

Zicomo made this remark because it was filled with silver strips of varying lengths.

This proves that Dumbledore used the Pensieve very frequently.

After listening to Zicomo's explanation, Harry suddenly became curious about what memories Dumbledore had put inside.

He reached out and touched one of the memories, and Harry immediately felt dizzy.

Then he ended up in a place that resembled a courtroom.

When Harry came to his senses, he found Dumbledore right beside him, and he looked much younger.

Harry realized he was in Dumbledore's memories.

As he was surveying the courtroom, a cage suddenly rose up in the center of the courtroom.

Harry had met Igor, the headmaster of Durmstrang School, a few times, and he was used to...

Harry remembered that Sirius had once told him that Karkaroff had also been a Death Eater.

So this must be the scene of Karkaroff's trial by the Ministry of Magic.

"Igor spying? [Unintelligible characters]?"

"If your testimony has any value, this committee is very likely to consider ordering your immediate release."

Harry recognized the voice very well; he had spoken to the owner of the voice just today, and that very night the owner died.

Indeed, the one who said these words was old Crouch, whose body was already cold at this moment.

He is now seated at the head table, presiding over this trial.

Harry saw old Crouch ask Karkaroff, "So, what evidence do you want to provide?"

Karkaroff replied, “Provide a name, sir. I can provide the names of Death Eaters.”

Before Crouch could ask, Karkaroff rattled off a string of names.

However, the names he gave were either already dead or had been captured and imprisoned in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

Snape was the only one who wasn't arrested; he was even bailed out by Dumbledore.

Crouch concluded, "If the witnesses cannot provide the committee with any real evidence, then this trial is over, and you will be sent back to Azkaban."

Karkarov quickly replied, "No, no, no, I know another name."

Old Crouch said, "You go ahead."

Karkarov said: ……

Chapter 229 The Proud Phoenix, the Reclusive Fox

Karkaroff said, "This man participated in the manhunt for the Longbottoms and tortured them with the Cruciatus Curse to extract information, causing them to suffer permanent mental breakdown."

Karkaroff wanted to list a few more crimes, but old Crouch interrupted him, saying, "Name, tell me his name!"

Karkarov shouted, "Little Bati? Keng? Kai!"

The courtroom erupted in uproar, and old Crouch was completely stunned in the dock.

At this moment, Barty Jr. was...

Harry looked over as well, and to his surprise, he saw that Barty Jr. was... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).

When Barty saw Karkaroff accusing him, he stood up and rushed towards Karkaroff.

He wanted to teach this traitor who had betrayed the Death Eaters a lesson he would never forget.

As soon as he rushed down from the stands, he was knocked to the ground by a spell cast by Mad-Eye Moody, who was standing behind Harry.

Seeing this, the surrounding Aurors rushed over and pinned Little Barty down.

As he struggled, Little Barty yelled, "Get your filthy hands off me, you pathetic bunch!"

However, Barty Jr. was no match for four Aurors. He was pinned down by the four Aurors and pinned down right in front of Crouch.

Young Barty looked up and greeted old Crouch with a carefree air: "Hello, Father!"

Old Crouch, expressionless, said, "You are not my son. Take him away."

Four Aurors carried Barty away from the courtroom.

Before leaving, Barty Jr. was still loudly defending himself. He did not deny his identity as a Death Eater, but he argued that he had not participated in the torture of the Longbottoms.

As for whether Karkaroff was slandering Barty Jr. in order to get his release, Harry had no way of knowing.

Because Dumbledore's memories end here.

Harry looked up from the Pensieve, his brain still reeling from the large amount of information he had just received.

At this moment, Zicomo was sitting on the sofa in his office, with a red phoenix, even more beautiful than Fox, perched on his shoulder.

Dumbledore circled the phoenix, murmuring words of praise in amazement.

Fox, who was originally sitting at his desk, is now hiding in a corner, withdrawn and withdrawn.

Let's rewind a little, back to when Harry first entered Dumbledore's memories.

From Zicomo's perspective, Harry first touched the memories in the Pensieve, and then plunged headfirst into it.

In other words, the water in the Pensieve wasn't ordinary water, otherwise Harry could have drowned himself.

Zicomo was not interested in the memories of a centenarian, especially since the old man was also a freak.

Besides, who knows how many times Dumbledore's old face has been immersed in that Pensieve.

Zicomo, who has a slight obsession with cleanliness, had absolutely no desire to touch the Pensieve.

Zicomo walked to the side, observing the furnishings of the principal's office, and also greeted the Sorting Hat.

When he walked up to Fox, he suddenly remembered Huang Xi, who was also a phoenix.

This homebody bird spends all its time sleeping in the "Zen Garden," so much so that Zicomo has almost forgotten about her.

This is a good opportunity to call her out and stretch her muscles, and also to say hello to her Western relatives.

Qi Kemo called Huang Xi out, who had just been woken up by him.

She asked sleepily, "Zicomo, what did you call me out for?"

Zicomo laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just asked you to come out and have some fun, and also to meet your fellow tribesmen."

As he spoke, Zicomo pointed to Fox on the bird rack.

Fox stared blankly at Huang Xi. Having spent all his time with that old geezer Dumbledore, he had never seen a phoenix as beautiful as Huang Xi.

When Fox saw Huang Xi looking over, it spread its wings to show Huang Xi its most beautiful side.

This is probably the courtship posture of a Western phoenix, but Huang Xi is an Eastern phoenix and doesn't fall for this.

She said disdainfully, "Him? His bloodline is so thin, he can't even speak properly, and he dares to call himself my kin? Give me a break."

Although Fox couldn't understand Huang Xi's Eastern language, he could hear the disdain in her tone.

He hung his head and went to a corner to shut himself off.

Zicomo smiled and shook his head.

Huang Xi had always spoken to him in a gentle and amicable manner, leading Qi Kemo to believe that the description of the Phoenix Clan as extremely arrogant in the books was not true.

Now it seems that Huang Xi simply didn't treat him that way.

Having grown accustomed to Huang Xi's gentle demeanor, seeing her haughty appearance now is quite amusing.

Seeing that Fox had hidden in a corner, Huang Xi ignored him.

She was no longer sleepy. Since she was already out, she decided to chat with Zicomo.

Huang Xi asked Qi Kemo, "Is there anything to eat?"

Zicomo casually picked up a piece of jerky and said, "You can eat some of this first, and we'll go get a late-night snack together later."

Huang Xi took the jerky and ate it while looking around at her surroundings.

She asked, "Is this where you live in the West?"

Zicomo replied, “No, this is my school principal’s office, and my residence is the dormitory. Of course, you know, I live in the ‘Zen Garden’ most of the time.”
