The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 421 Bold Assumptions
Barty Crouch, an official of the Ministry of Magic known for his toughness, used iron and blood to resist Voldemort's dark rule.To counter violence with violence, he allowed the Aurors to cast the Unforgivable Curse on the Death Eaters.

At the time, the ruthless and ruthless Barty Crouch had many supporters.These wizards were shouting and running around, thinking that the Ministry of Magic needed such a strong leader.

Ada thinks that these wizards are not wrong. In that chaotic, dark age full of torture and murder, the Ministry of Magic really needed a hardliner who would use thunder to clear Xiaoxiao.

Toughness and iron blood are the best counterattacks against Voldemort and his henchmen.

Just one step away, just one step away from Barty Crouch's position as Minister of Magic, but he was tricked by his son Barty Jr., and the soon-to-be minister flew away.

"I don't know much about that boy." Sirius said after thinking for a while. "When he was brought in by the dementors, I glanced through the cell door. He looked like he was 19 years old at most."

A 19-year-old boy with all A's in twelve subjects, but he is Voldemort's minion, and Barty Jr. was caught at the crime scene.When Barty Jr. was caught, he was hanging out with Death Eaters.

It was also from the trial of his own son that Barty Crouch's life took a sharp turn, falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

"The dementor threw the child into the cell next to me." Sirius continued, "In the first few days, he would still cry out for his father and mother, and after a few days he would be silent. rested, like most of those imprisoned there."

Azkaban, the place of despair, that place is not for people.The half-blood giant Hagrid would be ashamed when he heard Azkaban, and Sirius, who had regained his freedom, also had lingering fears about that place.

Even Ada, who often speaks outrageously, has never said anything about Azkaban, it is simply a purgatory on earth.

"Did he die?" Fred asked softly. "He died in Azkaban, didn't he?"

Most of the people in Azkaban end up with only one of two endings, being tortured insane by dementors, or losing the will to live.

A tiger's poison does not eat its son. A father imprisoned his own son in Azkaban and ignored him. What kind of heart is this?Ruthless is no longer enough to describe Barty Crouch.

"Yes, after about a year or so, he died, quietly." Sirius said, "Before he died, Crouch and his wife were allowed to visit their dying son, Not long after that his wife died too."

Three major joys for middle-aged men: promotion, fortune, and death of wife.Barty Crouch not only died his wife, but also his son, but he didn't get promoted and get rich.

A year ago, Crouch was still a hero, confident enough to become Minister of Magic... In the blink of an eye, his son died, his wife died, the family's reputation was tarnished, and Crouch was left alone.

After the death of Barty Jr., people began to sympathize with the boy and began to question Crouch.

People think that the reason why such an excellent boy as Barty Jr. went astray is entirely Barty Crouch's responsibility, because he never cared about his son.

A man who doesn't take care of his family isn't a man at all.Don't Orientals also talk about self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace?

If he can't even take care of his own family and his own son, why does Barty Crouch hold the post of Minister of Magic!
Silence, the cabin fell into a long silence.

Barty Crouch and Barty Crouch Jr., the tragic life of father and son has the ability to silence people.

If Barty Crouch cares more about his family, and if Barty Crouch Jr. does not go astray, is it possible for the Ministry of Magic to have a "father and son dual minister" story?

Everyone has to be responsible for their own life, and life cannot be repeated, or everyone will learn from Li Bai.

Ada tapped her forehead with the knuckles of her index finger, and she slowly asked, "Where is Little Barty's body? Are you sure he's dead?"

"He wasn't the only one who died," replied Sirius. "There, most people went mad, and many ended up starving. Death was a relief there."

Don't answer the question.Sirius understood what Ada meant, but he thought it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Where is Little Barty's body?" Ada asked again, "Are you sure he's dead?"

"Of course, Crouch didn't come to claim his son's body, the dementors buried him outside the fortress," Sirius said, "I watched them do it."

Sirius grabbed the cashew nuts on the table, stuffed them into his mouth one by one, and said slowly, "You don't think that child is dead, do you? People die every day in Azkaban, and they are professionals in burying people."

"But, you escaped." Ada said very seriously, "You escaped from Azkaban and turned into a dog!"

"That's because I'm an Animagus, and dementors can't tell..."

Sirius stopped in the middle of his words, and the slap came so fast.He took it for granted, he could fool the dementors, why couldn't Crouch and Barty Jr.?

Azkaban is the most heavily guarded wizard prison because it was built on an isolated island in the North Sea and because its guards are dementors.Many prisoners would become insane after staying there for a few weeks, and then began hunger strikes to die.

prison Break?nonexistent!
Azkaban is also the least defended, as it is guarded only by dementors.As long as the island was guarded by a wizard, it was unlikely that Sirius would escape.

Now that Sirius did it, is it possible for someone else to do something similar?Cooperate inside and outside, escape from Azkaban full of loopholes?
Sirius fell silent again, trying to recall the days in Azkaban and all the details about Barty Crouch Jr.

Although Sirius didn't want to recall those difficult times, he knew he had to.

"Ada, do you mean a subcontractor?" George asked uncertainly, "Barty Crouch took his son out of Azkaban and left his dying wife there?"

From the perspective of the dementors, there are two sentient creatures when they enter Azkaban, and there are still two sentient creatures when they leave, and there is nothing wrong with the number.

The maneuverability here is too great, but no one has ever made a similar idea as boldly as Ada.

"I don't know, it's just a hypothesis, a guess without any basis." Ada said with a frown, she knew that her hypothesis was too absurd, it sounded like a fantasy.

Bold assumptions, careful verification, Ada is making bold assumptions now.

From the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins to the present, when Barty Crouch is terminally ill and missing, everything that has happened seems to be controlled by an invisible hand.

And where better to find someone than a dead man for the role of mastermind?

Assuming that Barty Jr. is really not dead, it was his mother who died in Azkaban, and he himself was exchanged out of prison, many problems will be solved.

As Barty Crouch's subordinate, Bertha Jorkins inadvertently knew the secret that Barty Jr. was not dead, so she "disappeared".

Because he knew it was his son who had cast the Dark Mark, Crouch had been stalling for time, talking nonsense to cover his son's departure.

It seems to really make sense, but why does Barty Jr. do this?
After so many years of self-discipline, why did Little Barty jump out suddenly? What stimulated him and made him do such irrational things?How did Barty Jr. affect the Triwizard Tournament?

A new mystery has been added, but this time it's not as confusing as before, and Ada has a clue, as long as her hypothesis is true.The next thing Ada has to do is to verify and prove her hypothesis.

In the depths of memory, Sirius found the details that were ignored by everyone, and he asked: "Do you still remember who was in the box on the day of the World Cup?"

"Why do you ask that?" Fred was puzzled. "Besides us, the Malfoy family, and people from the Ministry of Magic."

"Is there anything strange?" George was also puzzled. "I think... there seemed to be a house elf at that time."

Sirius pointed at George and said, "Yes, the house-elf, the one Crouch fired, Winky!"
