Chapter 296, Barty Crouch Jr
"Barty Crouch!"
"What?!"
The council exploded in an instant, and everyone looked at Barty in disbelief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Barty's expression was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he roared: "I want to remind ......"
"Barty Crouch Jr." Karkaroff yelled again, but this time with a vengeful smile on his face.
All the expressions on Barty's face vanished, and he trembled uncontrollably. Then everyone turned their eyes to the young man who was standing up.
"Nope! No! Barty muttered.
At that moment, the young man who stood up, Barty Krach Jr., the son of Barty Krach, suddenly rushed towards the cage.
"Whoosh!"
A spell knocked him to the ground, and the nearby Aurors reacted and rushed up to subdue him, and Moody calmly put away his wand.
"Hahaha!" Barty Crouch Jr. laughed maniacally: "Let go of your hands! You poor filthy people, hahaha! ”
Barty Crouch Jr. was escorted to Barty, who seemed to be more than ten years old, and didn't say anything but stared at him blankly. But little Barty stuck out his tongue and laughed maniacally: "Hello, father! ”
"Huh?!" Bruce suddenly noticed something and hurried over.
"Bruce!" Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly walked over.
After a long while, Barty came back to his senses and said, "You're not my son!" ”
The curiosity in Bruce's eyes grew heavier and heavier, and then Harry suddenly shouted, "I know, I ......"
Before they finished speaking, everything in front of them suddenly disappeared, and a suction force sucked them into the air, and the four black people in front of them stumbled and fell to the ground.
The council crowd all disappeared and they returned to the principal's office. Dumbledore was standing in front of the meditation basin watching them.
"Kids! It's not a sin to be curious, but be careful! Dumbledore said.
The four of them hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Professor. ”
Dumbledore nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to find the Meditation Basin, which is very useful to me. ”
"We've seen the magic," Bruce said. ”
Dumbledore walked over and said, "When things are cluttered in your head, you can use it to review what I've done." You know? I searched for a long time to find some details......"
His tone became very excited and helpless!
"I wanted to find something I hadn't noticed at the time, something that would solve the bad news. But every time I feel like I'm about to find it...... But the clue is gone! ”
Dumbledore sat down on the ground, and this was the first time Bruce felt that the greatest wizard in the wizarding world was also at a loss.
Finally he said, "I'm so anxious! ”
Bruce nodded and said, "I can understand the feeling, Professor." But there will always be a day when things will work out. ”
"Thank you for your comfort, Bruce!" Dumbledore said, "But now there are too many things, you and Harry have been swept into the Final Three for no reason, and Crouch is dead. No one knows what will happen next. ”
At this point, Harry walked over and asked, "Professor, I would like to ask, Mr. Crouch's son...... What happened to him? ”
The three Bruce looked at Harry curiously, not understanding why he would ask such a question. Dumbledore wasn't curious, and said, "Being sent to Azkaban is a big blow to Barty. But he didn't have a choice, and the evidence was conclusive. ”
Bruce asked, "You said you knew that?" Is it related to Barty Crouch Jr.? ”
Harry nodded and said, "I've seen him!" ”
"What?"
The three of them were stunned, and Dumbledore also stood up and hurriedly asked, "When?" ”
Harry said, "In a dream, my dream! And more than once, in my dreams I was in a house, and Voldemort was there, but I couldn't see his face. Peter Pettigrew is also there, along with Crouch's son. ”
Dumbledore asked solemnly, "You just said more than once?" Do you have the same dreams? ”
Harry nodded and said, "That's right. ”
Dumbledore paused and seemed to think of something, walking quickly to the meditation basin, Harry hurriedly said, "Professor, Bruce once said that my dream was most likely something that was happening, you said this...... Is it true? ”
Bruce also wanted to know the answer, but then Dumbledore looked at him and smiled, "I think...... Don't think about these dreams, Harry! You'd better ......"
As he spoke, Dumbledore used his wand to "pull" a thread from his temple that was identical to that found in a meditation basin.
“…… Forget all about that! ”
Dumbledore put it in the meditation basin and said, "It's getting late, you can go back." ”
Harry wanted to ask something, but Bruce hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Good night, Professor!" Let's go. ”
The four of them left the Headmaster's office, and after walking down the spiral staircase, Harry hurriedly asked, "Why are you holding me back, Bruce!" Dumbledore had clearly thought of something, he must have known who the murderer was. ”
Bruce said, "I'm the same as you think. ”
Harry said angrily, "Then you ......"
"I'm holding you back because Dumbledore won't tell us, and you've seen his reaction. And if he really knows who the murderer is, trust me! That guy definitely can't run away. Bruce explained.
Hermione said, "I was wondering if the murderer you said could be Barty Jr., who was a Death Eater and seemed to be insane in Dumbledore's memory. ”
Bruce nodded, "It's possible, and didn't Harry dream about him in his dreams?" ”
"Impossible!" Ron said suddenly.
"What?" Bruce asked.
Ron said, "It can't be Barty Jr.!" ”
"Why?" The three of them asked curiously.
Ron said, "I know about it. I once overheard my dad and mom talk about it. They said it didn't take long for Barty Jr. to be sentenced to death. ”
Bruce nodded and said, "That's really impossible. ”
"That's not right!" Harry hurriedly said, "He's still alive?" ”
Hermione said, "But Ron just said ......"
Harry hurriedly explained, "In my dreams I heard Voldemort say that Peter had been a rat for a while. In other words, this is after Peter was found out, and Barty Jr. is not dead at all. ”
Speaking of this, Bruce Hermione Ron suddenly felt a chill in his back, and Ron said, "But...... Harry! It was a dream. ”
"But dreams are all the same, and I think Bruce is right, what happened in my dreams is the truth!" Harry said.
Hermione and Ron didn't know how to answer, Hermione looked at Bruce and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Bruce said, "Two possibilities! A kind of Harry's dream is true, and Barty Jr. didn't die in the first place......"
"It's unlikely." Ron said: "The death penalty process is very strict, and the condemned prisoner has to be identified. ”
"Don't interrupt just yet, let Bruce continue." Hermione said.
Bruce continued: "Ron was right. But there is a situation that can be avoided. That is, Barty Krach was also involved at that time, and he wanted to save his son, and it was not difficult to do so with his position. If his death had something to do with it, it could have been that someone knew about it, maybe it was coercion, or maybe it was because he was afraid that the secret would be known to others. ”
Hermione said curiously, "It doesn't make sense! If this assumption was true, then the man should not have been a Death Eater, but Harry's scar hurt at the time, indicating that the Dark Mark was real, and why did he kill someone who helped his companion when he was a Death Eater? ”
Bruce said, "Well explained, dear! So the coercion is drained, and all that remains is secrecy......"
Ron interrupted Bruce again and said, "But Hermione didn't mean ......"
"Ron, can you listen to me speak!" Bruce smiled wryly.
"Huh! I'm sorry! Ron said embarrassedly.
Bruce continued; "What if this person is little Barty? Yes or something to do with little Barty. ”
"Then rightfully so!" Harry hurriedly said, "Because they are afraid that the news that Barty Jr. is still alive will leak out and affect their plans." So Mr. Crouch must be killed, even his father. ”
"Possibly! What is the other explanation? Hermione asked.
Bruce said, "It's that Harry's dream is fake, or just deliberately leading us astray. Voldemort knew that Harry would dream about himself, so he somehow changed Harry's dreams by telling Dumbledore through us to draw our eyes to a man who was already dead. The purpose was most likely the plan Harry had heard. ”
Hermione said, "Both hypotheses point to the so-called plan!" ”
"But we don't know what that plan is? Harry, you really are, why don't you listen clearly. Ron said.
Harry smiled wryly, "That's a dream, please!" ”
"It doesn't matter! There is one final game left in the Final Three, and we'll soon find out what their plans are. Bruce said.
Hermione said worriedly, "Aren't you guys dangerous?" ”
"What's the solution? You heard Fudge's words just now, and it is impossible for the Final Three to be canceled. All we can do is be careful in the last game. Bruce said.
Harry nodded and said, "That's right, it's really not a big deal. ”
As the four of them were talking, they passed by a door and an angry voice rang out: "This is a signal, Severus!" You and I both know what this means? ”
"Bang!"
Before the three of them could "digest" the sentence, a door was suddenly opened. Karkaroff pulled up his sleeves to reveal the tattoo on his wrist. Snape stood in front of the door, apparently "asking" Karkaroff to leave.
And the door of the room where the four of them were facing each other, Karkarov saw the four of them hurriedly put down their sleeves, and then glared at the four of them and walked out.
Bruce smiled disdainfully, "In the evening, Headmaster Karkaroff, you still have to talk to Professor Snape so late?" ”
"Huh!" Karkaroff sneered and walked away.
Looking at his back, Blue sneered and said disdainfully: "What! ”
