Little Barty? What happened to Crouch Harry hadn't asked him personally, but he had heard from Sirius that the man had bitten off his tongue to prevent him from being pressed, and even Madame Pomfrey's shrewdness could not make him make any noise.
It seems that this man was willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect Voldemort's position.
He was an avid follower of Voldemort, and he said about Voldemort's resurrection before he shut up completely, not as darkness, but as prosperity.
He said the prosperous world was coming.
Little Barty? Crouch was secretly imprisoned in Azkaban, but he never said where his disappeared father was, and everything seemed to be cut off. Dumbledore because of Barty Jr.? Crouch had a big fight with Fudge about it, Fudge still didn't believe in Voldemort's resurrection, he thought that what Barty Jr. said was just his imagination, he said Barty Jr.? Crouch has gone mad, so everything is his madness.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, pointed at Fudge's nose and told him to sit in the position of the minister/minister with what he thought was fake news, and sooner or later he would pay the price for his arrogance.
Fudge also gave Mycroft an answer that was not an answer, he just said that some wizards were crazy, so there was a situation at the time, and they would take full responsibility for this matter, and there was no need for the Muggle government to intervene and take over.
Mycroft dropped the papers, and he wanted to pry open the brains of these idiots and see what they were thinking.
Since Fudge was unwilling to cooperate, Mycroft contacted Lucius and Sirius, and heard from them about the current chaos in the wizarding world, it seems that Fudge's government is frightened and ready to break the can, Mycroft thinks that now is an opportunity, and it must be him who will step down after Fudge's willful and reckless behavior. Not to mention who the next minister/head may be, a position like this must be inextricably linked with many families and some important figures in the wizarding world, and Mycroft needs Sirius and Lucius to further start contacting the next person who may become the minister/chief.
He needs to have a good relationship with the new minister/chief, and even support the puppet.
Mycroft was ambitious, and he didn't like things he couldn't control, even in the wizarding world.
Lucius didn't expect that Mycroft had such great ambitions, let alone such a big force behind this person, the person in charge of the Muggle government, although he admired such ambitions, but Mycroft's identity made him have his own thoughts. When McCroft interviewed Lucius, he saw this man's thoughts, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't interfere in the direction of your world, I just like to be honest with each other."
”
By the way, Mycroft also wants to pave the way for Harry, Lestrade is the pride of the sky, and Harry is destined to not become an ordinary wizard because of the things he is carrying, and he himself has the ability to do so, so it is a matter of course to go into politics.
There are indeed a few candidates for the next Ministry/Chief, but in the eyes of Lucius, a person who has been dealing with the Ministry of Magic for a long time, Rufus? It is very likely that Scrimgeour is now the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, the Aurors already have a lot of power, and this Auror Office Director is even more of a step, and there are many ministers/heads of the Ministry of Magic who have climbed up from this position.
But Lucius didn't have himself and this Rufus? Mr. Scrimgeour was approached, and instead recommended Sirius, and the more he had to do the following, the less contact he had with the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, the better, and he couldn't leave a handle for both the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord.
Voldemort already knew about Barty Jr.'s failure, he scolded several times, he could only hide in this corner now, many people were looking for him, he had listened to his baby girl. As long as the final match of the Triwizard Tournament comes, he doesn't need to hide like he does now, and he will regain what he lost.
Pettigrew? Peter looked at Voldemort who was angry over there and trembled, if it weren't for hatred, it probably wouldn't have come to find Voldemort, but he thought of himself who was tortured, and he wanted to get all the pain back, so that Harry? Potter: They pay it back.
As the final game approached, Professor Moody began to return to teach, and many students found that Moody seemed to be a different person, and his state in class was very different from before, and he stopped mentioning those unforgivable spells.
Harry knew that this was the real Moody, he had been through a lot, and this should be a shame for him, the old Auror, and he also said something to Dumbledore, and it wasn't just Barty who attacked him, but also Pettigrew? Peter.
That is, a pettigrew? Peter and Barty Jr.? Crouch is mixed in everything, and they are all loyal to Voldemort.
With a month to go until the final race, Bagman finally named the project for the final race: a maze. The third project is very simple and clear. The Triwizard Cup is placed in the middle of the maze, and the first person to touch it gets a perfect score.
But there will be a lot of obstacles in the maze, and the leading Warriors from Hagrid will enter the maze first. So Harry was the first to enter, followed by Cedric and Krum, and the last one was Fleur.
Harry didn't think the final level would be easy, and if it was from Hagrid's animals, it would be no less lethal, like the snails they raised in their magical biology class this year.
Voldemort looked at the prostrate Pettigrew with eerie eyes? Peter, this idiot actually let the trump card in their hands run away, if it weren't for the fact that he would use Pettigrew next? Peter's place, he'll have his good girl kill this guy now.
"You mean Crouch ran away?"
"Yes, yes, but rest assured, he's, he's been, he's delirious."
Pettigrew didn't expect Crouch to break free from the Imperius curse little by little, but he had been tortured to the limit, and in Pettigrew's opinion, this person didn't live long. Voldemort was silent for a moment before saying to the prostrate Pettigrew, "I want him dead, only the dead will not reveal any secrets." ”
The sudden appearance of Crouch startled Harry, he was with Krum at the time, Krum wanted to pursue Hermione, ask Hermione about what he liked, and wanted to do what he liked, Harry was teaching when he saw Crouch rushing out of the grass, he stumbled and said some strange things, but he mentioned the Dark Lord, he said that the Dark Lord was strong, and he needed to see Dumbledore.
Harry and the others were near the labyrinth, and just as Harry told him to go to Professor Dumbledore to Krum, Mr. Crouch rushed into the labyrinth like crazy, and just as Harry turned his head to use magic to freeze the man, he found that the frail-looking man had disappeared into the labyrinth. He frowned and immediately told Krum to find someone.
Although it was a bit against the rules to enter the maze now, it was impossible for Harry to let Mr. Crouch, who looked crazy, wander around, so Krum hesitated and turned to call someone, and Harry stepped forward cautiously with his wand.
Thankfully, the maze isn't all over yet, at least Hagrid's pets haven't been put in, and there's no strange spell in it, but one thing is right, it's really a maze, and Harry is in a dead end for the third time, and he's already trying to destroy all of them to find someone.
It didn't work that way, he needed something new.
Harry pointed at his voice, his voice louder and louder, he hoped that Mr. Crouch wasn't really crazy and didn't know anyone, and didn't remember who he was.
"Mr. Crouch, Mr. Crouch, Professor Dumbledore is looking for you, please raise your head and walk in the direction of the orb of light."
Fixing the magic was probably a special kind of magic that Harry had learned, and it was impossible to keep a magic like a fluorescent flicker after removing the wand, but Harry had found a little trick to turn the fluorescent flicker into an ornament like an electric light.
Harry continued to search, listening carefully to the voices, hoping to hear Crouch's voice. But everything was quiet, only the sound of the wind stirring the leaves. Harry pursed his lips and walked on, unaware that in the center of the labyrinth, Crouch was entangled by a python, and standing beside him was a man with a low head.
He held out his hand to his lips tremblingly, "Shhhh Potter will find it. ”
Crouch struggled harder, but the python opened its mouth and wrapped itself around him again.
"The master is very angry about your escape, so the master says that you are useless."
Crouch's eyes widened, the Dark Lord was going to kill him? The Dark Lord was going to attack him.
Nagini looked at the fat on her lips and spat letters, she wanted to swallow this man all, as long as it was meat, it was very delicious for him.
"Damn it."
Just in Pettigrew? When Peter was telling Crouch about the mistakes he had made, Harry? Potter didn't know when he was getting closer, but Pettigrew straightened up when he heard the sound in the wind, and he looked up at the ball of light, which was getting closer and closer to him.
"I'm sorry, Crouch."
He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the man who was tightly bound by Nagini, "Avada's Curse." ”
Harry heard the sound of the spell, and he immediately destroyed the labyrinth in front of him with the blasting charm, and ran in the direction from which the sound came, the voice just now didn't seem to be Crouch's, but like a familiar person, Pettigrew? Peter.
Could it be that they found Barty a little faster than he did? Crouch.
Buddy? In the last few seconds, Crouch thought of his wife, his son, and ...... His position of power, everything suddenly turned into a passing cloud.
He finally seemed to see someone approaching him, and then cast a spell at the location behind him, and then ...... He's dead.
Harry? Potter saw a man in disarray and a snake fleeing in a hurry, and Harry didn't relent.
The use of an offensive spell was also used, but the spell only hit the man's arm.
The man didn't even look back at him, just dragged his cut arm and ran away.
Harry chased a few steps but didn't catch up, and he immediately turned to look at Barty? Crouch, Harry stepped forward to test his snort, he was no longer breathing, those who fell under the Avada Curse would have died immediately, he was silent, if he hadn't hesitated before......
But at least they knew one thing, and that was that Voldemort was even stronger.
Harry was standing there and heard footsteps coming from behind him, and Krum had brought a lot of people with him, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, Moody, Bagman, and the other two headmasters, and they saw Harry and the dead Crouch standing in place.
Karkaroff then got into an argument with Dumbledore, believing that Harry had killed Crouch and that he had done so because he had discovered the secret of Harry's cheating at Hogwarts. Harry turned his head to look at Karkaroff, he took a step forward, who Karkaroff was he had already inquired clearly, from Lucius.
Former Death Eater, isn't it, the person who captured/captured him was Mad Eye Moody, and it is said that Dumbledore invited Mad Eye to be the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts not just to be a professor, but also to watch Karkaroff, and he was worried about what Karkaroff would do.
After all, it's someone who likes black magic and has a criminal record.
Harry glanced at Karkaroff's arm, Lucius was sure that Voldemort's resurrection was because he felt the heat of the Dark Lord's mark, which was a sign of the Dark Lord's growing strength, and he believed that Karkaroff must have felt it too, but this person didn't know if he was deliberately ignoring and deceiving himself, or if he had some other intentions.
"Mr. Crouch has just said a word, he said...... The Dark Lord is even more powerful. ”
Harry glanced at Karkaroff again, and the man immediately pressed his arm, and Harry sneered at the frightened look in his heart, it seemed that he was also worried about Voldemort's resurrection.
"And I just saw someone who is suspected of being a murderer, and although I tried to subdue that person, he ran away, Professor Dumbledore, and I think Mr. Crouch's murderer could be Pettigrew? Peter. ”
Pettigrew? Peter's escape from Azkaban was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Ministry, and now if Pettigrew killed an important member of the Ministry, Fudge's position would be even more precarious. Karkaroff then didn't dare to say anything because of the mad-eyed man's eyes, and Harry underwent a routine investigation, after which Hogwarts was no less defensive.
Soon, the time for the final game came.
Harry would be the first to enter the labyrinth, and the turbulent events that had been before seemed to be hidden by the Triwizard Tournament, whether it was Barty? The death of Mr. Crouch, or Barty Jr.? Crouch's conspiracy, or Voldemort's resurrection.
It was as if everyone had suddenly shut up about it, and Harry didn't know what was wrong, he just wanted to get the game over and go home.
Because Merlin has reached the limit, even if he can see Lestrade and McCroft through the two-way mirror every day, even if he is now having a lot of fun with Arthur every day, Merlin will still cry secretly in the middle of the night, and he will rarely have a bad temper.
He was in a state similar to a magic rampage in Charms class, except that he sulked and all the feathers he was practicing the Hover Charm flew up and changed. At the time, Professor Flitwick did not expect such talent among his students, and he not only gave Merlin a high score, but also praised Merlin.
But Merlin didn't seem to be happy to be praised, and his mood began to be a little gloomy, after all, it would be a year before he left home, and for this little ghost who loved his family, he really reached the limit.
Merlin's current life is to follow Thor, Loki for a day, and Harry for a day, and the three Lestrades want their little brother to be spoiled by the sky, and Merlin says whatever he wants, and whenever there is any unhappiness, even Loki will find a way to amuse him.
Hermione knows the situation of Lestrade's family best, and Merlin's family is not a day or two, although he has been shouting that he has grown up to be a man, but he likes to pester with dad Greg? By Lestrade's side, his attachment to Lestrade is in the eyes of everyone.
Little Lestrade is understandable about Merlin's behavior, after all, he is the one who was abandoned, and it seems that he only turned his back on it after understanding something. It was precisely because of his timid eyes that Lestrade finally chose to adopt him instead of sending Merlin to an orphanage.
Merlin has always had a fledgling complex for Lestrade.
Tomorrow is the game, and today Harry is sleeping in Loki's dormitory, because Ron's matter has been settled, and there is no need for someone to be by his side all the time, and Harry can finally share the bed with his lover in the open.
But now he sat on Merlin's bed and sighed softly, Merlin cried in his dreams again, their little brother was a crybaby before, and he had matured a lot since he grew up, but now he ......
Harry rubbed Merlin's soft black hair, "It's time to take a break after this game, it's finally time for a holiday." ”
Loki, who was pacing over, also sighed, Merlin cried every day, he was also distressed, after all, he was a child who watched grow up, although sometimes he likes to tease Merlin, but after all, he is his younger brother. Seeing Merlin crying in his sleep like this, Loki's mood sank a lot.
"A year is still too difficult for Merlin."
Even they ......
"We'll sneak up on tomorrow's game, so you have to be careful."
Harry smiled when he heard his brother's advice, he had recently been worn by Merlin to Loki and his feelings were a little leaky, how could he say such a thing so gently before, Loki has always been awkward.
"It's fine, it's just a game."
The final final did attract a lot of people to watch, Mrs. Weasley and Bill? Weasley, Sirius, Lupin, and even Narcissa and Lucius went with them. Harry met with the elders he knew one by one, Mrs. Weasley was always so enthusiastic, Lucius seemed to have made up his mind, and his expression was still the same as when Harry knew him.
Lucius said after greeting Harry, "Stay safe, Harry?" Porter. ”
This is already the supreme concern from the patriarch of the Malfoy family, the awkward Lucius rarely says such a relational word, Narcissa looked at Harry and smiled, they have already decided, right, so Draco needs someone to take care of him, they all think that Harry is the best choice.
"Harry, we're glad you're friends with the dragon."
Harry? Potter always did his best to protect his friends, so they knew that Harry would protect Draco, and when they became Death Eaters again, the Malfoys would be criticized as Voldemort's right-hand men when darkness fell.
As the heir to the family, Draco knew what he would face in school, even though he had the absolute right to speak in Slytherin, but not in school. The lion and the snake were destined to clash, and they hoped that Harry would be able to protect Draco, their treasure.
"I'm glad I met Draco, too."
Harry didn't know about Lucius's decision at this time, but just because he didn't know it didn't mean Draco didn't know, since Lucius made this decision, he informed his precious son, although he was the baby of the husband and wife, but also the future head of the family.
Lucius thinks that Draco needs to know everything and has the right to know everything.
Lucius was letting Draco grow, but he didn't expect Draco to grow more than he imagined...... It's too heavy.
Harry, who would later become the ruler of the wizarding world, once said that maybe they thought they were heroes of the wizarding world, but there was such a person who was Harry? Potter's hero, his name is Draco? Malfoy, the Malfoy who was once shouted and beaten by everyone, the man he loved all his life.
Harry said goodbye to Sirius and Lupin, and he refused Sirius' company, saying that he would not have a problem.
Harry shook Draco's hand and smiled at the man, "What if I don't know what if I don't get the trophy?" ”
"Harry? Don't say stupid things about Potter, you're stupid enough. ”
Harry tilted his head and smiled at the sight of such an energetic Draco, "Okay, I'll try." ”
He let go of Draco's hand, and Loki would be by his side for the game, with Merlin and Thor remaining outside as outside reinforcements.
Harry and the other three warriors stood as they listened to Professor McGonagall's speech.
"We're going to patrol outside the maze, and if we get stuck, if we want to get help, we're going to shoot red sparks into the sky, and we'll have someone to help you, understand?"
A few of them, you look at me, I look at you, and you nod at the same time.
At this time, Bagman used magic to amplify his voice, and he said in the direction of the stands: "Ladies and gentlemen, the final game of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!" I'll report the current score! 1st place Harry? Potter - 98 points, Hogwarts House! 2nd place Cedric? Diggory - 85 points, Hogwarts House! Third place Wickdore? Krum - 80 points, Durmstrang College! Hibiscus? Delacour - 3rd place, Beauxbatons College! ”
Bagman was very thoughtful not to say Fleur's score, after all, she didn't win too many points for herself in the second game.
"Now...... Harry, listen to my whistle! Bagman said, "Three-two―――――"
After the whistle blew, Harry glanced up at the sky.
It was overcast, as if a storm was coming. 166 Reading Network
