Chapter 116 115
Barty Crouch Jr., son of Barty Crouch Sr., Director of the International Department of Magical Exchange.
It can be seen from the name that the old Barty Crouch, who once fought on the front line against Voldemort's evil forces, has an extraordinary reputation and is very hopeful to be the Minister of Magic, hopes that his son will grow up to be just like himself people.
Unfortunately, what parents entrust to their children often backfires.
To a certain extent, Barty Crouch Jr. and Sirius Black are like reflections of each other. They are both the type who can only give up treatment at the end of the second disease.
It's just that one is a family that hates its "evil and dark" and wholeheartedly goes to light and justice; while the other is loyal to the evil and dark Voldemort like a moth to a flame.
For a fanatic, everything outside his "belief" is an ant.By the time of his arrest, Neville's parents had been driven into insanity under his Unforgivable Curse.
Here comes the question, little Barty was sent to Azkaban by the old Barty himself and died of illness not long after, so what is going on now?
This is a good question.
There was silence in the principal's office.
In order to prevent the situation from expanding, only the four people in the room know about it.
Professor McGonagall was in a very complicated mood and was restless.
She has been a professor at Hogwarts for half her life, and all the young wizards have been her students. Seeing the fallen Barty reminded her of the Longbottom couple who were still in St. Mungo's and poor Neville. And old Mrs. Longbottom, which made her feel extremely sad.
"I think we should inform the Ministry of Magic that he should go back to Azkaban." The upright headmaster of the Lion Academy believed that he should take responsibility for mistakes.
However, Dumbledore did not affirm her proposal. The old man turned his attention to Regulus who seemed to be watching from the other side. "Professor Black, do you have any suggestions?"
Professor Snape on the side couldn't help but let out a cold snort from his nasal cavity.
Regulus showed a modest smile indifferently: "I respect the authority of that Headmaster Dumbledore very much, and I also respect Professor McGonagall's impartiality. However, as everyone knows, the Triwizard Tournament is just around the corner. The Minister of Magic obviously attaches great importance to this international exchange. If he learns that Hogwarts has infiltrated a Death Eater at this time, and he did so through the opportunity provided by Principal Dumbledore, I think , this matter will become more complicated from not simple."
Regulus and Dumbledore exchanged a knowing look.
Fudge already felt that his wings were strong enough, and he had long been dissatisfied with Dumbledore. What better chance could there be, and what was even more heaven-sent was that Dumbledore had just been attacked by public opinion just now. The aftermath has not passed.
"Not long ago, Minister Fudge drafted a decree on the Ministry of Magic's reform of Hogwarts education, which included the content that the Ministry of Magic sent education commissioners to Hogwarts to assess various subjects and details , fortunately, this immature decree was shelved under the firm and reasonable objections of my friend Mr. Lucius Malfoy. Although my friend and I are not completely sure about the deeds and ideas of Headmaster Dumbledore Agreed, but none of us think Minister Fudge is more qualified than you to run Hogwarts affairs."
Dumbledore sighed, "Please express my thanks and respect to Mr. Malfoy on my behalf. Since Barty Jr. consciously attacked Mr. Malfoy Jr., then I think on the issue of Barty Jr., we It is also necessary to listen to Mr. Malfoy's opinion."
"Thank you for your impartiality. I will inform Mr. Malfoy." Regulus bowed, "Also, I think we should also talk to Director Barty Crouch, what do you think?"
Dumbledore squeezed the space between his eyebrows. Even though he was very old, his eyes were still sharp. "Okay, that's it. Before the Triwizard Tournament comes, let's solve this problem."
The reason why Barty Crouch Jr. was able to appear at Hogwarts was because the old Barty, who "killed relatives righteously", replaced her and his son at the begging of his already very weakened wife. Mrs. Crouch died soon In Azkaban, little Barty, who fanatically believed in Voldemort, was trapped at home by the old Barty with the Imperius Curse, guarded by elves.The Imperius Curse was not foolproof, and Barty Jr. was extremely paranoid, which made it easier for him to get rid of the Imperius Curse, so he escaped successfully and started frantically looking for his master's trace again.
Fortunately for Barty Jr., the 2.0 version of Voldemort, who has redeveloped part of his power, soon discovered him, an excellent tool that can attack from the inside to cooperate with his plan-because in theory, this is an already dead people.
Voldemort version 2.0, which has fused most of the soul pieces and restored most of his sanity, finally has a brain. Just in case, he did not appear in front of Little Barty from the beginning to the end, and all instructions were issued indirectly. After one step, there is an instruction for the next step, and the most ruthless thing is that once discovered, Barty Jr. was asked to commit suicide immediately.And this point even without the Imperius Curse, little Barty would faithfully do it, but he was punched by the quick-sighted Regulus, so he didn't die.
Even though he didn't die, it wasn't of much use to Dumbledore, because whether it was Legilimency or Veritaserum, there was only so much information that could be obtained.
The old man keenly realized that his former student must have undergone some kind of change. Compared with Voldemort who was almost crazy before disappearing, this cautious and cunning is more like the return of Tom who was dormant and gathering strength.
The old man once again felt a sense of powerlessness out of control.
He didn't even get the real Moody's whereabouts, because even Polyjuice Potion was delivered to Crouch Jr. on a regular basis, which worried him but didn't know what to do for the time being.
The Barty Crouch Jr. incident came to an end in silence.The potion provided by the potion master Snape can keep him in a comatose state, which is more reliable than the Imperius Curse.
On the bright side, people only found that Mad-Eye Moody, who caused a big mess not long ago, disappeared from Hogwarts without making a sound. Everyone accepted this as a matter of course, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, after all There is a guy who is drunk and crazy all day long next to a group of small animals who doesn't know when he will give someone a cold, it is really insecure.
On the other hand, Director Crouch, whose popularity has been declining in recent years, recently resigned from his post due to illness. The newly appointed Director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department is a gentleman with gorgeous platinum-blond hair.
Few people linked these two unlikely events together.
In the room of the Hogwartswart Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the mode of getting along between the supposedly serious master and the prospective apprentice is as follows:
Harry lay on all kinds of comfortable big beds, hugged a soft pillow, and read comics very comfortably.
Regulus sat sideways beside Harry, giving him a professional massage—and secretly eating tofu.
"So, you just cheated that poor little guy again?" There is no doubt that the little guy in Old Longha's mouth is indeed Dumbledore who has been reciting words recently.
"Heh, it would be a pity to miss the opportunity that came to your door." Regulus smiled indifferently, and put all his attention on his two hands.
Harry's body has grown to 15 years old.
Juveniles are the most beautiful stage of human beings. They have just shed their innocence, and there is a trace of sweetness in their youthfulness. It is a very subtle beauty.
Compared with other teenagers, Harry's body was almost too slender, so slender that it was hard to believe that he could have such an appetite.
This is something that can't be helped, Harry's soul power is too strong, if this body is not a wizard attribute, but just an ordinary person, maybe it will collapse in less than 20 years.
So no matter how much he ate, Harry still looked malnourished.
In the prone position, the shoulder blades protrude and unfold like two butterfly wings, as if they can break through the thin layer of flesh and become real wings at any time.
Regulus pressed the palm of his hand from top to bottom lightly and firmly.
Taking the opportunity to massage the tailbone, he enjoys feeling Harry's slender waist under the wide pajamas.
For a loyal dog who is deeply poisoned, in fact, even if Harry lives in Dumbledore or a disfigured version of Voldemort, maybe Regulus can magically discover beauty.
But if that's the case, then it must be true love!
Harry moved his neck, expressing that he couldn't imagine that scene, it was too harsh.
"Hey, don't get too far." Kicking his leg, Regulus let go regrettably, allowing Harry to snap his ankle out of his hand.
Turning over, Harry stared into Regulus' face.
He remembered another face that once belonged to that soul, and in a trance, it overlapped and exchanged with a more distant face.
Old Longha was never a fool.
He's a selfish, willful bastard.
"Did you know? This body probably won't last for decades, but you are different, maybe you can live for hundreds of years."
Regulus stared at Harry unwaveringly, "Since space cannot block me, neither can time."
Harry shook with laughter, "I knew you'd say that."
Sighing, "Where am I good?"
"If you don't count the way your lord pretended at the beginning," Regulus smiled reminiscently, "it's actually not good anywhere."
Harry frowned.
Regulus leaned forward, resting his hands on Harry's head, "It's just that you are too dazzling, dazzling, everything is dark after losing you."
Everyone admires your calm wisdom and powerful appearance, only I love your crazy and wanton soul.
A very light and slow kiss fell on Harry's lips like the first snow.
And this time, Harry didn't refuse.
Whether he admits it or not, there are three men who have left a strong mark on his/her past.
One died for her without a whole body.
One died with her.
One resolutely challenged fate in order to follow him.
Even being a greedy dragon, or, should be enough.
