Chapter 192: memories in the Pensieve

Well since John is like this Harry also wanted to be arrogant towards John.

So he decided to look around in the headmaster’s office with curious eyes.

While looking around he found the Dumbledore's Pensieve.

A Pensieve was a very rare and powerful magical item.

They were a magical device used to store and review memories.

Pensieves were rare because only the most advanced wizards ever use them and because the majority of wizards are afraid of doing so.

No wizard or person wants to review their memories of sadness and wrong doings.

Well they would want to see the good memories again but if they felt that there is something wrong then the good memories would also be ruined.

So in a life having a memory once is a good thing.

Remembering things or seeing things again and again would make one lose the value of those memories.

Also the main reason is that the pensive is very costly and has high cost of usage.

Harry got it for free with all the costs covered by Dumbledore.

Also Dumbledore is an advanced magician that can bear the magic usage and charge the thing.

Well it might not have appeared in the plot but these things would need charging of magic to use them.

Nothing in the world would work on its own without proper amount of energy in place for it to work.

This is against the law of conservation of energy that even applies to magic.

When in use, a silvery light shines from the contents of the Pensieve.

This light was bright, whitish silver, cloud like, and moving ceaselessly.

The white water like liquid is also very expensive thing that is obtained by refining the blood of the unicorn with fairy wings.

It can only be bought through illegal means.

Dumbledore might speak righteously but the things that should be done in the dark are still being done in the dark.

Naturally he is a curious cat that would be killed in the end because of his curiosity.

So he dipped his head into the Pensieve and went to look at the memories of death eaters trails that happened before when Voldemort fell.

John knows what he is seeing right now.

It should be three memories related to the trails of the death eaters that Barty crouch acted as judge.

The first is the trial of Igor Karkaroff.

In this memory he renounces his support of the Death Eaters and gives the names of existing Death Eaters.

This includes Snape.

Dumbledore in the memory states that Snape is a spy against Voldemort and is no longer a threat.

The second memory shows the trial of Ludo Bagman.

He was accused of passing information to Voldemort for money.

Even though he wasn't aware that the person he gave the information to was a Death Eater.

But his popularity quickly clears him that he is not in the wrong.

Well he acted as the mediatory person for many dark secrets of high level wizards.

So these connects saved him from being punished.

The third is a trial for the Lestrange family, a group of three, and Crouch's son, Barty Crouch Junior.

They were brought here for the use of the Cruciatus Curse on Alice and Frank Longbottom.

Barty Crouch senior did not show any support for his son that is in the wrong and sentenced him along with the other three with punishment.

The punishment is the lifetime imprisonment in Azkaban for all of them.

With that the memories ended and Harry pulled his head out.

……………

John did not see these memories yet.

They are brought out when moody and minister fudge came out.

Right when Dumbledore came back he looked at Harry that went to look into the Pensieve without permission and John that is peacefully feeding his pet phoenix.

He lost some impression of harry that could not sit still and mess with the things around.

As for John he is actually taking care of the phoenix and did not move much during this time.

But all in all he could not blame Harry because he is the savior that was designated and pushed up by him.

Dumbledore sighed and came over to explain the situation to Harry and John was also there to listen to the information.

After Dumbledore explained what happened and showed Harry another of his memories regarding a teenage Bertha Jorkins during her Hogwarts years, Harry explains what happened in Divination.

Dumbledore finds Harry's scar pains to be an odd concept and brings up that this is the second time it has hurt, the first being during the summer.

Dumbledore did not speak about Sirius black in front of John for the time being.

Dumbledore suspects that the reason why Harry's scar hurts is due to the connection that Voldemort's failed curse had created with him.

He believes the scar would only hurt when Voldemort were close or was feeling a strong emotion.

Dumbledore also explains to Harry that, unlike the Minister of magic fudge’s words, he believes that the disappearances of Bertha Jorkins, Barty Crouch, and a Muggle by the name of Frank Bryce may be connected to Voldemort.

John on the side did not say anything and let Dumbledore speak about this matter.

Dumbledore also explains that Frank and Alice Longbottom are Neville's parents.

The reason they went insane due to the Lestrange family people’s attack and that this is the reason why Neville was brought up by his grandmother.

This is also the reason why he has such an aversion to the Cruciatus Curse.

Dumbledore doesn't know if Barty Crouch Junior was involved in this matter or not.

But he personally requests that Harry and John to not to disclose this information to anyone, saying that Neville himself will share it when he is ready.

John simply smiled thinking that hiding too many secrets would not yield any benefits instead it would only cause too many complications by the sudden death of people.
