Chapter 538 Help me kill someone! (Thanks to 'lenxlee' for the [-] coins reward)
Crouch, many say, has a detached air about him.
This is normal. As a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, although he is marginalized, he is also the director of one party and holds power.
Being a superior for a long time, coupled with his sternness, naturally gives people a special aura.
Many of his subordinates would tremble subconsciously when talking to him. If they were telling lies, even without Legilimency, he could easily detect it.
All the subordinates are like this, and the little wizard will be so frightened that his legs will go weak when he sees it.
This is a kind of timidity under pressure, and Crouch is very good at interrogating people in this way.
But the young man in front of him was far beyond Crouch's surprise.
The sightings of the Aurors in Albania, the destruction of the forest, the dead at the Prancing Horse Inn... With so many things together, Crouch was sure that William and Hermione must have appeared in Albania.
They rescued Bertha from Albania!
But in the face of questioning, William still showed a strong psychological quality:
He is calm, logical, and even lies openly.
But even knowing he's lying...do you have proof?
William can bring in a Minister of Magic, a Director of Law Enforcement... to give him false testimony at any time!
Yes, the ministers and directors of other countries, at the risk of sacrificing their reputation, gave perjury to a little wizard!
If I didn't see it with my own eyes, but just heard... Crouch would definitely give the speaker a big mouth.
Crouch was extremely shocked by this influence.
Only then did he realize that what he was facing was not an ordinary little wizard, but someone who had obtained:
The Wizard of the Order of Merlin, the French Order of Courage, the Italian Order of Magic First Class and the Order of the Doge of Venice...
It is already a lifetime honor for ordinary people to get one, but this one in front of him... holding the medal is like drinking water!
It is no exaggeration to say that Stark's global influence is already catching up with Dumbledore!
And his current age is only 15 years old.
To be honest, Crouch admired Stark very much...he couldn't help but think, how wonderful it would be if this was his son!
Instead of that traitor!
Crouch loosened his collar.
Now this situation is something he didn't expect before, and he needs to change his strategy.
Sitting opposite Crouch, William could clearly feel that the aura of this senior Ministry of Magic official was not as aggressive as before.
"Mr. Stark, please forgive my gaffe just now." Crouch said softly:
"You are a genius in Britain, and I will definitely not hold you accountable for a few words from other countries.
But you should know that Bertha was in my department. "
Crouch's voice suddenly became very low.
"Bertha's memory has always been very good, but one day, she suddenly started to lose things, and her memory has problems."
William nodded slightly, he had discovered this very early on.
Crouch continued:
"I'm still very concerned about my subordinates. After observing it many times, I finally confirmed that there is a high probability that someone has cast a powerful amnesia on her."
Crouch's eyes hardened again.
"Bertha is a person who likes to inquire about secrets, and she must have discovered something important.
But her brain was severely damaged, and I did not investigate any information.
After a year of this, her condition did not improve.I transferred her to the Sports Department, where the pressure is not so high, and I hope she can rest. "
William crossed his arms, thinking seriously about Crouch's words.So far, there is no logical problem.
"You may not know." Crouch said with dark eyes.
"Our Exchange Department and the Sports Department will jointly host this World Cup.
But at the most critical time, Ludo gave the sports department a vacation.But Bertha herself had an accident at this time.
I suspect……"
Crouch sighed, and said seriously: "Bertha probably remembered something. The person who cast amnesia attacked her again."
"You mean... Ludo Bagman did it?" Hermione asked strangely.
"No...Miss Granger." Crouch shook his head.
"Ludo, an idiot, doesn't dare to take a holiday at will, it was secretly instructed by other more powerful people.
On the surface, he was aiming at me, but in fact he feinted and deliberately aimed at Bertha. "
William nodded, he finally understood.Crouch was implying that it was ... Secretary Fudge.
Bertha knew some of Fudge's secrets, and was cast amnesia by him.
But William knew that it was not Fudge who did it, but Voldemort.
But Bertha knew someone's secret, it might indeed be Fudge's secret, who asked him to take bribes in various ways.
Crouch's guess, without knowing Voldemort, makes logical sense.
"So, William." Crouch's title changed.
"When Bertha was rescued, did she say...strange things?"
His eyes sparkle.
"If so, do tell me... I'm worried for Bertha, and for the safety of both of you.
Since that man dared to attack Bertha, you may not be safe. "
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Crouch." William said with a smile:
"But really not. When I found out, Bertha was already in a coma. You can wait for her to wake up and ask."
Crouch didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"If there is nothing else, we need to go back." William stood up.
"Well, if there is a situation, you must tell me."
The two figures gradually moved away, but Crouch did not move, still sitting on the chair.
The fire in the fireplace was flickering, and half of his figure, hidden in the shadows, was half illuminated by the fire.
The house-elf Winky appeared, bowing her head and screaming:
"Master, do you need me to monitor the two of them?"
Mr. Crouch didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard Winky's words.
I don't know how long it took before he shook his head and said, "They may not have learned the truth from Bertha, but if you go, you will definitely be discovered by Stark, which will arouse his suspicion.
He and that witch named Granger were so smart and perceptive. "
Tonight's conversation was already a little rash, but Crouch had to be invited.
The fact that Bertha was tortured with the Cruciatus Curse was already very strange.In the process of being tortured, she may well break the amnesia and reveal some secrets.
Crouch had to make sure Bertha didn't say anything weird when they rescued her.
Like... Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive.
Crouch couldn't let this get out, or it would be all over for him.
His reputation has been discredited, he has suffered a crushing defeat, and there is no possibility of a comeback.
Fortunately, he deliberately led this matter to Fudge.
Fudge does have a lot of dirty secrets, and he does hint at Ludo, giving the Sports Division a break.
The real lie... is nine truths and one falsehood.
Even if Stark was smart, it would be impossible for Crouch to suspect him after he brought up Bertha's anomaly.
"How is he?" Crouch asked suddenly.
"Very good, Master Batty...Master, he... is very obedient." Shining raised her eyes tremblingly, looking at Crouch's face.
"Take care of him... Don't let him leave! Otherwise, I will drive you... out!"

After returning to the tent, William found that Nico and the others had not returned.
When the women were not at home, the three of them let themselves go wild in various ways.
Judging from William's years of experience, these three people are planning to stay out all night!
Nico is really alone, leading a group of people.
Neville was still in the room and hadn't gone out.He ate the gillweed and soaked in the tub with his Lefe.
This is probably the legendary mixed bath.
Anyway, Laife looked at Neville with tenderness, and he never ignored him as before.
It seems that it had a bold idea.
Annie, Luna, and Ginny came back and hid in the room playing red and white machines.
William watched with warm hands, and was about to give some advice as a master, but was actually rejected by the three little ones.
Mr. Weasley and Lovegood, all they got were final tickets, not all tickets.
They didn't watch the first game, so they're not here now.
The two daughters are at ease with William, and they are not afraid of "avi, the strange brother of my daughter's classmate".
Well, if there is such a divine development, Hermione will definitely kill William first.
Her research on curses has become more and more in-depth, and there are many questions that even William can't understand.
Since they all had their own affairs, William had no choice but to hide in the room and continue to study potions.
As for the few people looking for him, none of them paid any attention.
As the breeze blew, a figure apparated in his room.
The man was wearing a black robe and looked almost like William.
—Professor Babling.
When she opened her mouth, William was startled.
"Help me kill someone!"
"..."
……
