Chapter 684 This Hogwarts Does Not Wait!
Crouch died, but his son lived.
Such an absurd statement, even if you can no longer believe it, the facts are right in front of you, so you can't help but believe it.
That's how Fudge felt at the moment.
The evidence was all over his face. If he still refused to accept it, it would not be a matter of position, but a matter of IQ.
He was silent for a long time before giving the order:
"Kingsley, you immediately lead a team of Aurors to search Batty's house.
Better catch that house-elf named Winky. "
After Kingsley nodded, he left quickly.
In the past, this kind of work was done by Dawlish.
Ever since he let Blake go last year, claiming that the minister had ordered him to... Fudge had given him the complete snub.
In Fudge's view, Dawlish might not belong to Dumbledore.
It's better to use less of this kind of Auror.
Unlike Kingsley, capable and obedient.
"I think...in this case, the third project should be cancelled."
Professor McGonagall, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"Barty Crouch Jr. can take so many hostages in the Quidditch World Cup, he might do it a second time!"
Professor McGonagall is not unreasonable, and it is exactly what everyone is worried about.
Little Barty can kidnap once, and it is very likely to carry out a second time, catching students and threatening them.
"No, the Warriors must complete the third project," Fudge insisted.
"This is an activity organized by the Ministry of Magic and cannot be ended hastily."
The attack in July last year has already caused his popularity to drop.
If this competition ends in an unclear way, what will the public say?
How should the Ministry of Magic explain it?
Fudge didn't want to leak Batty's death yet.I don't even want to spoil the good situation of the game!
After all, this is the only two large-scale events he has held since he took office.
The competition for hegemony is not just a competition for hegemony, it represents a far-reaching meaning behind it.
If the Quidditch World Cup is a 'gamble on the national fortune', the Triwizard Tournament is purely a cosmetic project.
Gambling on the national luck has failed, and the hegemony competition is the only chance to show his face, so this time's face project cannot be messed up.
"Five referees, one is missing and one is dead." Professor McGonagall waved his fist angrily.
"I don't think the competition can go on, we have to be responsible to the students!"
"No, Minerva." Fudge pulled out a smile and said, "Before I came, I had already received good news——Ludo...we found him."
All looked at Fudge in surprise.
This is really good news...especially for those who gamble on dogs.
After the first competition, Ludo, director of the sports department, suddenly disappeared mysteriously.
To put it nicely, it’s called disappearing, but to put it badly, it’s called running away decisively.
Not only did he owe money to the goblin, he also owed money to the wizard.For example, the twins gambled with him and got their leeks cut off.
The reason why Ludo ran away is easy to understand.
William learned from the goblin that he and Gringotts made another gambling agreement:
Ludo overwhelmed Ron to win the championship.
But in the first event, Ron got zero points for being disqualified for the Dark Arts.
Perhaps because of this, Ludo ran away directly.
He appeared now, did he get money?
Fudge left quickly, and he was going to search Crouch's house to see if he could try his luck and catch Barty Jr.
Professor McGonagall stayed angrily, as if he wanted to argue with the principal about stopping the game.
Mad-Eye Moody also stayed, and he needed to discuss the security of the third project with the principal.
William took Hermione out of the office.
The two walked towards the Gryffindor lounge, still discussing what had just happened.
As she stepped over the Fat Lady's portrait, Hermione whispered to William: "
"The mysterious person probably has found Barty Crouch Jr."
"Yes...he tortured Bertha." William sighed.
Bertha was tortured by Voldemort. With his ability, he could definitely break Crouch's Forgetting Curse.
Once Voldemort had this information, there was no reason not to use it.
You know, compared to Wormtail, he will definitely trust Little Barty more, and then go looking for his servant.
"During this time, Crouch may have been imprisoned or controlled by the Imperius Curse." William showed sharp eyes.
The latter situation is fine, but if it is the former...it will be frightening to think about it carefully.
Crouch is under control. Who is Crouch who has been wandering around Hogwarts?
Possibly Barty Jr. used Polyjuice Potion to take on his father's likeness.
Anyway, the names are the same, and on the Hogwarts map, you can't see any difference.
Or... Wormtail taught Barty Jr. the tracking spell.
He erased his name, used Polyjuice Potion to look like someone else, and got mixed into Hogwarts?
Either way, it means uncontrollable.
"Need to remind Minister Fudge about the mysterious man?" Hermione worried.
William shook his head: "With his IQ, can he understand the current situation?"
"Hmm... probably?" Hermione frowned uncertainly, "Even trolls can understand such a simple situation."
"Yes, but... Can Fudge's IQ match that of a troll?" William asked back.
"Well...well, when I'm in good shape." Hermione shrugged.
William laughed and ruffled her hair.This girl's mouth is getting worse and worse.
Fudge really didn't need to remind.
Even Barty Jr. is still alive, but he barely believes it. Now tell him that Voldemort has found Barty Jr.... Will he believe it?
However, this did not prevent William from proceeding carefully.
Voldemort and Barty Jr. will definitely use this match to do something.
William is going to check the field again, including the trophy for the third project.
At Christmas, he secretly crafted his own door into a door key.
He could do it himself, and he had to be wary of Voldemort doing the same.
Otherwise, during the competition, what if Hermione grabbed the trophy and was teleported away.
In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.details make a difference.
In this regard, William has always been cautious.
……
……
Crouch's death did not cause any waves, as if a mud cow had fallen into the sea.
Fudge kept the matter under wraps, not allowing anyone to reveal it.
But in less than three days, the story was leaked and published in the Daily Prophet.
The author is without a doubt... old Aunt Rita.
News headlines are also exaggerated.
"The tragic death of a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic!The fourth generation of the Dark Lord is coming! "
Good guy, William direct good guy.
Last year, Sirius was described as the third generation of the Dark Lord, and this year a fourth generation came out.
The profession of the Dark Lord has finally ushered in a big explosion in the industry, and it has begun to be quickly updated.
The news of Crouch's death was naturally told by William to Rita.
But he certainly can't admit it.
In the report, Rita also deliberately used the words of a famous star.
Fudge immediately suspected Krum and Karkaroff.
He had long said that Karkaroff was unreliable.
They must have leaked it to that dead woman Rita!
These two Nordic barbarians!
When Krum saw the newspaper, he read it several times and felt that the "famous star" was referring to him.
Krum was also dumbfounded.
When did he break the news?
ah!Krum felt so wronged.
After Harry and Cedric, he had a vague feeling that someone had cheated him again.
This Hogwarts,
Don't wait!
