Hogwarts card wizard

"Barty Crouch Jr.!"

When Karkaroff said the name, the scene exploded in an instant, but compared with the reaction of these people, Kevin was much calmer.

Although he didn't know Barty Crouch Jr., the reason for everyone's surprise could be seen from the name.

Barty Crouch's son!

During Voldemort's raging period, the attitude of the wizarding world towards him can be divided into three situations.One is Voldemort's followers, that is, Death Eaters, black wizards and the like.This kind of people are Voldemort's hardcore followers, and they are also the main targets of the Ministry of Magic's liquidation at this point in time that Kevin is currently in.

The other category is the centrists, who are ignorant.

They may not agree with Voldemort's actions and his ideas, but they take a compromise attitude because they are afraid of the Dark Lord.

To put it bluntly, he didn't support the Dark Lord but didn't oppose it, and even if he opposed it, he did it deliberately out of fear of the pressure from the Ministry of Magic.

Such people accounted for a large part, even among the ranks of Death Eaters.The most obvious example is Lucius Malfoy.

The last category is resolutely against Voldemort, and is the main force against Voldemort in this wizard war.

The most representative ones are the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic at that time.

People who don't know much about this period of history would think that the current Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, would be a representative of the Ministry of Magic at that time.

But this is not the case. The real representative of the firm position of the Ministry of Magic at that time was Barty Crouch, then Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

During his tenure, he advocated the use of tough measures against Voldemort and his followers, and thus became a popular candidate for the next Minister of Magic.

Kevin thought to himself: "The person who finally became the Minister of Magic was Cornelius Fudge, what happened now should be the reason why Batty lost the election."

This is indeed very ironic for Barty Crouch, who has a very firm attitude towards Voldemort, but his son has become a follower of Voldemort.And from what Karkaroff said just now, it can be known that Barty Jr. should still be the backbone of the Death Eaters, otherwise it would be impossible to participate in all the round-up operations.

Barty Crouch was "frozen", obviously he hadn't recovered from the explosive news.

At the same time, when Karkaroff said Barty Jr.'s name, everyone present turned their attention to the young man standing up.

Little Barty also realized that he would "roll over", and immediately jumped off the stands and rushed towards Karkaroff in the cage.But someone was one step ahead of him, and behind him Moody suddenly pulled out his wand and cast a spell on Little Barty.

The guards around the cage immediately swarmed up to subdue him, while Little Barty struggled unwillingly and roared, "Take your dirty hands away, you poor bastards."

The guardian escorted Barty Jr. to Barty Crouch, with a morbid smile on his face, he kept sticking out his tongue and said to his father: "Hello, father! Hehe!"

Barty Crouch stared at his son in silence for a long time, the expression on his face showed his master's inner struggle.

Batty said: "You are not my son! Lock him in! Lock him in immediately!"

In the end, a group of guards led Barty Jr. out while howling, and his ultimate goal was naturally Azkaban, which everyone feared.

Kevin just stood there watching, like a spectator who had nothing to do with it.But everything that happened here solved the confusion in his heart.

At this time, a powerful suction swept through the whole body.Everything around became blurred, like a sand painting blown away by a hurricane.

When he could see his surroundings clearly again, he was back in the principal's office.The stone basin still flashed white light, but there was an extra figure beside it.

"professor?"

Dumbledore came back at some point. He stood by and looked at Kevin, and said seriously, "It's not a sin to be curious, Kevin. But you should proceed with caution."

Kevin said apologetically, "Sorry! Professor, I thought you made me see this on purpose...?"

Dumbledore introduced: "The Pensieve. Although those licorice candies are a bit offensive, the Pensieve is not suitable for you to use, at least not now."

Hearing this sentence, Kevin smiled wryly. He has been really crazy recently, and he can associate with a single sentence.

He stepped forward to look at the Pensieve, and said, "The name is very appropriate! Professor, I saw it in it just now..."

"That's my memory, Kevin." Dumbledore said, "It's very useful, especially when you have too many things on your mind like I do."

Kevin asked, "So Professor, you're using the Pensieve to find answers? I mean the recent events."

Dumbledore did not deny it, and said: "It allows me to relive the past that I have experienced. I have been looking for those details, the details that I have overlooked. As you said, it may explain why it happened These horrible things."

Dumbledore's tone was a little irritable, and Kevin couldn't help being surprised.You must know that since he met Dumbledore, he has rarely seen the legendary wizard be so irritable today.

Kevin asked, "Professor, did you find anything?"

"That's the problem, Kevin! It's crazy how it slips away at every turn!"

Dumbledore walked up to the steps irritably and sat down, which gave Kevin a feeling of frustration.

However, after thinking about it, it is understandable that Voldemort will make a comeback sooner or later. A series of recent events indicate that this time is getting closer, but the justice camp is still at a loss.

Let alone looking for answers now, they don't even know what's going on around them.

Kevin recalled the speculation in the Pensieve just now, and asked: "Professor, I saw Mr. Crouch's son in the Pensieve just now, can you tell me what's going on with him?"

Dumbledore said: "He was imprisoned in Azkaban. Everything was like what you saw in the Pensieve. At that time, Barty's heart was broken, but he had no choice in the face of iron evidence."

At this time, Kevin asked something unclear, and said, "I remember that when Black escaped from prison, the "Daily Prophet" said that he was the first person ever to escape from Azkaban, right?"

Dumbledore was a little confused, he looked at Kevin curiously, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Kevin explained, "I mean is there a second escape. Like Barty Jr.!"

"No!..." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment as he spoke, and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Kevin walked up to sit beside him and said, "Here's the thing! First of all, on the day of the World Cup attack, I saw Barty Jr. launch the Dark Mark into the air with my own eyes, and I also had a fight with him. I Can be 100% sure that person is Barty Jr.”

Kevin paused, expecting Dumbledore to look surprised when he heard the news.But the fact is that he was very calm, as if he was listening to a story.

Asked: "Continue, what else?"

Kevin said: "Also, Harry said that he once dreamed of Little Barty. At the same time, he also dreamed of Wormtail, that is, Peter Pettigrew, and... Voldemort. It's just that Harry said that Voldemort was in the dream In the form of a baby-like monster. And he's dreamed more than once."

Dumbledore's complexion changed suddenly and he immediately stood up and walked towards the Pensieve.
