Hogwarts Shippuden

The door was opened, revealing Karkaroff's impatient face.

"I didn't say not to take lunch break..."

After seeing the person's face clearly, the impatience on Karkaroff's face was instantly replaced by surprise.

"Mr. Crouch?" Karkaroff thought a lot for a moment, but he still couldn't understand why Barty came to him.

According to him, Barty didn't find his own reasons at all.

Whether it is in his capacity as the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic, or as a member of the competition committee he played in the Triwizard Tournament.

But he still let the door open, "Please come in."

But Barty Crouch didn't enter the door immediately, but stepped aside, as if there was another person coming in behind him.

A few seconds later, Karkaroff's room door was slammed shut.

"Have a cup of hot coffee? I don't have any other good things to entertain guests here." Karkaroff sat down on the sofa casually, "What are you looking for me for? Mr. Crouch?"

If there is nothing without going to the Three Treasures Palace, if Barty simply wants to chat with him, Karkaroff will never believe it.

The next second, Barty's words instantly made Karkaroff's heart rise to his throat.

"Principal Karkaroff, the mark on your arm is becoming more and more obvious, right?"

Hearing Batty's words, Karkaroff's expression changed suddenly, "Director Crouch, this kind of joke is not funny at all. It has never changed since that person fell!"

Karkaroff should have said this in a righteous manner, so that he could have some credibility.

But unfortunately, the trace of fear in his voice can only set off his guilty conscience.

"Your psychological quality is still a little worse. Your expression has already told me everything."

While speaking, the wand appeared in Crouch's hand, which instantly raised Karkaroff's vigilance to the extreme.

But fortunately, Crouch didn't intend to cast a spell on him, but raised his hand and cast several protective magics towards the door behind him, locking all the possibility of their conversation leaking out.

"Yes, I admit that it is becoming more and more obvious." Karkaroff's expression was quite ugly, and he simply broke the jar.

In front of Barty, the former head of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, since everything has been exposed, it is meaningless to hold on.

"I just want to know, which side do you stand on?" The smile on Crouch's mouth brought a bit of playfulness.

Such an expression would never appear on someone as unsmiling as him.

Unfortunately, Karkaroff's spirit was in a state of high tension, and he didn't realize this abnormality of Batty.

Before Karkaroff could answer, he saw Batty's expression suddenly change, "Perhaps, I should ask another person to talk to you."

The next second, under Karkaroff's extremely shocked gaze, ripples suddenly appeared in the air.

A familiar face appeared in front of Karkaroff.

"Barty Crouch Jr.!"

During the trial at the Wizengamore Court, Karkaroff, who had already been arrested, confessed the name of Barty Crouch Jr.

This also led to Barty Jr's imprisonment, and Barty's dream of running for the Minister of Magic was broken.

Now Barty, father and son, suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was under the circumstance that little Barty had been confirmed by Azkaban to have been dead in prison for many years...

Karkaroff was terrified.

With the appearance of Little Barty, Old Barty's expression suddenly became dull, and his spirit was also in a state of trance.

"Imperial Curse?" Karkaroff recognized the spell in old Batty at a glance. Back then, the Death Eaters used this magic to forcibly control quite a few people to work for them.

Little Barty didn't answer his question, but pointed the wand in his hand at Karkaroff.

Old Barty also raised his wand, "Tell me, Igor Karkaroff, are you still loyal to Lord Dark Lord?"

In the face of such a threat, Karkaroff would be a ghost if he dared to say that he was unfaithful.

Even if Barty didn't threaten him, Karkaroff didn't have the courage to refuse. The increasingly obvious black mark on his arm, and Barty who had disappeared for many years reappeared...

All of these things are sending a pretty obvious signal - the Dark Lord is about to return.

Karkaroff is well aware of the Dark Lord's temperament, he is absolutely impossible to watch the situation as a sham, and then join in whichever side is strong.

There is absolutely no way Voldemort would tolerate the existence of such scumbags, especially for a former Death Eater like him.

Either surrender or die.

"Of course I'm absolutely loyal to Lord Dark Lord." Karkaroff thumped his chest, almost swearing his life to Merlin.

For a timid rat like him, swearing with his life is the maximum he can do.

"Very good," Hearing Karkaroff's words, the corner of Barty's mouth raised a sinister arc~www.NovelMTL.com~ Lord Dark Lord has a task for you. "

……

After a long time, little Barty quietly left Durmstrang's ship with his father, whom he had controlled with the Imperius Curse.

After getting out of the range of Hogwarts' anti-Apparition prohibition, the two disappeared in place with a slight explosion.

After the old Barty was sent home and settled, Barty Jr came to Malfoy Manor in a blink of an eye.

Going straight up to the second floor, Barty reported everything to Voldemort on the Durmstrang ship just now.

"Master, do you want Severus to know about this?" Barty asked, "With Severus as an internal response, it will be more convenient for us to act."

The Death Eater who was being hosted by Voldemort slowly turned around and pointed the noseless face on the back of his head at Barty.

"No, Barty, as much as I do believe in Severus' loyalty," Voldemort said slowly, in a rather hoarse voice, "but I can't rely on him for the whole plan."

Even though Voldemort today shattered his soul in order to create multiple Horcruxes, he still understands the simple truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

Snape now has too much information. If he tells Snape what he sent Barty to do, what's the point of him sending Barty out to find Karkaroff secretly?

"I see, Master."

Voldemort, who didn't know whether to turn his back or face Barty, waved his hand, indicating that Barty could leave.
