Chapter 682 Barty Crouch Jr. Is Still Alive!

Chapter 682 Barty Crouch Jr. Is Still Alive!

In-house on request.

Just William and Hermione.

Although it was already late at night, the two had no intention of leaving.

The death of Barty Crouch seems to be a dark cloud over the hearts of the two.

Hermione sat next to William with her forehead in her hands, her eyes on her knees.

"Could it be the Death Eater?" she said.

This conjecture is unquestionable.

During the summer vacation, William and Hermione speculated through various details that Crouch imprisoned a Death Eater.

And that Death Eater escaped, and on the night of the finals, kidnapped many little wizards, threatened the Ministry of Magic, and released the imprisoned Death Eaters.

If William hadn't made a map of the Quidditch venue a long time ago and successfully locked the location of the hostages... the Death Eaters would probably be released from Azkaban.

Crouch went to look for Ludo, but now he has become like this, he may have been attacked.

Then, he came to Dumbledore to confess, but the other party wanted to silence him.

But here comes the question... who is that Death Eater?

The Death Eaters who have been missing for many years, even Dumbledore, can't match it.

"Let's go over the whole thing again," Hermione suggested.

William nodded, took out his wand, and stirred the Pensieve on the table.

This is a Christmas present from Dumbledore, and I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The Pensieve spun, and the silver substance became transparent.The two stretched out their hands, touched those memories lightly, and immediately disappeared into the air.

It was a dark room, cave-like darkness, like a still picture.

But soon there was a change, and a green light shot in from the outside.

——that was an Avada Kedavra!

The green light pierced through the darkness and slightly illuminated the room, and it could be seen that many little wizards were densely crowded in the room.

They were all tied up with rope.

But both William and Hermione turned their heads away from watching the scene.

Because within the range of the bright light, it could be clearly seen that Harry was sticking out his tongue to lick Malfoy's face.

Then he went to lick Ron's freckled face.

mouth area!

When William saw this picture for the first time, he almost threw up, and now he still has psychological shadows.

It turns out that Harry's liking for Qiu is fake, just to cover up his abnormality.

No wonder when William asked Harry for this memory, he would be coy and unwilling to give it.

It's just too...animal.

William was wondering if he should take a photo and show this memory to Malfoy and Ron.

That's right, this memory comes from Harry. It's the memory of the night he was kidnapped in the Quidditch World Cup final.

William was fighting outside at the time and didn't know what was going on inside the house.

He also went to Bekrum, and several victims, to ask for memories.

William originally thought that Krum would refuse, but he didn't expect him to be unexpectedly enthusiastic and easy to talk to.

Soon, a ball of flames flung into the room.This was the Death Eater before he ran away, ready to kill and silence him.

But this flame completely illuminated the entire room.

"No Crouch." Hermione squinted and said with certainty.

William frowned and murmured, "It's true that there is no him."

This is very strange.

When William locked the location of the hostages, he saw the names of Harry, Ron, Malfoy, Krum, and Barty Crouch on the map where the tracking spell was cast...

At that time, when William rushed into the house, he was busy fighting the fire and saving people, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

He didn't see Crouch afterwards, and William thought he ran away.

After all, a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic was kidnapped by Death Eaters, and it would be too embarrassing to speak out.

Watching it now, William realized that he had taken it for granted.

Crouch wasn't here before he burst into the house!He didn't take advantage of the chaos to leave!

William thought for a moment, and said to himself: "The map can't be wrong."

"There are only two possibilities." Hermione raised her fair neck and said softly:

"Crouch escaped earlier, or..."

"He is the kidnapper!"

Crouch was the kidnapper, so William didn't see him in the room, but saw his name on the map.

William looked at Hermione, shook his head, and denied, "The former guess is fine, but the second... has no motive.

Crouch who is he?Why let the Death Eaters go? "

This is as unreliable as Harry suddenly surrendering to Voldemort one day.

This is a deep hatred, destined to oppose each other.

Hermione wrinkled her nose, also feeling that this guess was untenable.

Soon, the scene changed and a few more memories were added.

These few memories were obtained by William from the principal.

From the beginning of the trial of Crouch's son, to Crouch's wife, beating Crouch in public, crying heartbreakingly, and asking him to let his son go; and later, the scene where the two went to Azkaban for the last time .

The two looked at it three times, and William rubbed his eyebrows, went through it in his mind, then raised his head, and said:

"Hermione, have you ever found a place that's weird?"

"You mean Crouch's wife?" Hermione understood keenly.

"That's right." William said softly: "On the day of the trial, she cried and asked Crouch to let his son go in front of so many officials.

This shows that she loves her son very much.

But in Azkaban..."

William paused, then continued: "The warden said that her son might not last long, and only if Crouch donated money would he help find a therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic."

"Even... maybe get his son out..."

"But her wife was indifferent." Hermione continued: "Especially after Crouch refused, she didn't show any sign...it's so strange."

"Yes, it's very strange. It doesn't conform to the expression of loving your son, does it?"

How could a normal mother have no reaction when she heard that her son might not last long and her husband refused to pay?

Especially this mother, who once beat her husband in front of all the officials and asked him to let her son go!

This is so out of character!

"Unless she already has other methods to save her son." Hermione murmured.

"But her son died a month later, and she herself died of grief..." She didn't understand.

At this time, the image of the memory of the Pensieve has come to the end:

Crouch and his wife walked out of prison.Crouch scowled, tugging his wife stiffly.

And his wife seemed frightened by her son and walked very fast.

Hermione stared at the picture, as if realizing something, she suddenly said:

"William, did you notice that Mrs. Crouch looked very sad before she came in.

But when he left, he didn't seem to give up at all, he didn't even look back, and left directly. "

William nodded slightly.It really doesn't look normal here.

The various anomalies of Crouch's wife;

William and Hermione looked at each other suddenly, and shouted at the same time, "Barty Crouch Jr. is not dead!"

"That's right, it can be explained in this way!" Hermione said hurriedly:

"Mrs Crouch swapped out his son, so when Crouch refused to donate, his wife didn't react much.

Crouch rescued the Death Eater's son, but imprisoned him instead.

The name seen on the map is also Crouch's son, Barty Crouch Jr.

They have the same name..."

"That's right." William nodded. "It seems that Bertha also discovered this secret, and then Crouch cast a powerful forgetting spell."

"Then what do we do next?"

William stood up and said with a stern face: "Let's go, Hermione, we need to go to the principal's office, Minister Fudge is also there.

We have to tell them. "

"But we don't have evidence?" Hermione said hastily, "This is all our inference through the details..."

"No! Our words are evidence!" William looked at Hermione and smiled sweetly:

"Also, I've already thought of the most powerful piece of evidence to prove our speculation... to prove that Crouch's son is still alive!"
