Hogwarts, early Saturday morning.

Compared with the surging wind in the magical world, the atmosphere in the castle is particularly peaceful and relaxed.

As expected by Elena and others, the return of Voldemort could not affect the daily routine of the school at all.

With the Hogwarts professors going to class and assigning homework as usual, the little wizards quickly left behind the incomprehensible chaos-Voldemort's resurrection and invasion of the Ministry of Magic, and Glenn, who hadn't even waited for a while to unfold. The match between Fendor and Slytherin College is even more stressful.

Of course, the heartlessness of Lotte is limited to students, and teachers still follow up the situation with newspapers as soon as possible.

Whether it is the news of Professor Dumbledore, or the news of the Ministry of Magic or the mysterious man, it is the content of the professors' attention.

At the long table of faculty members, Sirius and Lupin were having breakfast while reading the newspaper whispering.

"The Ministry of Magic has assembled a team," Sirius said, "but we were not notified. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Of course," Lupin said slowly, slicing the omelet with a pale face weakly, "this is a little strange, but what is even more strange is that Professor Dumbledore is not the commander. From the description, it seems that there is something else. People... I really don't know who is qualified to command a professor."

"Who else," Sirius sneered, and said contemptuously, "Of course it is the officials of the Ministry of Magic, I know them too well—"

"Cornelli Fudge? No. If it were them, it would be written directly in the newspaper." Lupin said.

Sirius shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Perhaps they also don't think their name is suitable to appear, Remus."

"If the magic world wants to defeat Voldemort, they will have to listen to Dumbledore after all-no one knows how to deal with Voldemort better than Dumbledore. Only people of equal status are qualified to stand alongside Dumbledore, and the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic Obviously it's too far."

"In comparison, I am more curious about what happened to Barty Crouch..."

He rubbed his chin with a short stubble, and read a newsletter in the corner of the newspaper with interest.

"Barty Crouch, the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department, is temporarily recovering due to illness. This is much more interesting than Professor Dumbledore."

"He was still the hero of the first round of resistance against the Death Eaters this morning, and he immediately called for sick leave in the afternoon...This is not in line with Crouch's character. If he had taken a day off because of illness before, I would leave the table in front of me. I even chewed up all the tableware above."

"So... I still don't understand what's'interesting' in this."

Lupin quickly flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and finally his eyes stopped inadvertently on one of the pages.

That was an article by Rita Skeeter, a gold medal reporter for the Daily Prophet, who wrote the report on Lockhart some time ago.

"Someone in the Ministry of Magic is suspected of colluding with the dark wizard, and the Aurors successfully locked the suspect...Why, do you suspect Crouch?"

"Obviously, Crouch is mostly under house arrest—"

Sirius said with a weird expression, as if a little gloating and a little confused.

"However, there must be something abnormal in this, and Barty Crouch will never fall to Voldemort's side."

"Why, why? Do you know Crouch?"

At this moment, a curious gentle voice sounded beside them.

Lupin and Sirius turned their heads just in time to see Professor Sprout smiling at them apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you guys-I'm just a little curious... well... Crouch was with me at the same time."

Professor Sprout’s seat was right next to Lupin, and it was hard not to be heard by her.

And on the other hand, as the dean of Hufflepuff College, the "eating nature" of badgers is sometimes difficult to control.

"Oh, of course I know Barty Crouch."

Sirius's expression dimmed, his expression suddenly became a little scary, and he said softly.

"In fact, he ordered me to be sent to Azkaban-even the trial process was directly exempted."

"What? You didn't go through trial?!" Professor Sprout said in surprise.

"Not Professor Dumbledore?" Lupin was also a little surprised.

About Sirius Black, most of them inquired one by one from newspapers and friends.

For a long time, they thought that he was sent to Azkaban by Dumbledore after he was tried by the Wizengamore court.

This is also the old past that the professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix have been tacitly avoiding.

... Whether it was before or after Sirius was released from prison.

"Yes, there is no trial."

Sirius said frankly, adding a large spoonful of beef to his dinner plate.

"Crouch used to be the Director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. Do you remember this thing?"

"Of course, I remember that everyone predicted that he might be elected the next Minister of Magic."

Professor Sprout nodded, frowned, recalling the past, and said slowly and thoughtfully.

"He is an amazing wizard, Barty Crouch. He was very good at school, with strong mana, and very assertive and courageous. In the last year, he and I served as the chairmen of the male and female student council respectively. Although graduated from Slater Lin, but he has always been firmly opposed to black magic. But I think Doreen’s contribution is at least half of it. Crouch also has a lot of black magic, but he never uses them to bully the weak."

"Doreen?" Lupin asked softly curiously.

"Oh, Doreen Abbot, she and Crouch were at the same table for seven years, and later became Mrs. Crouch."

Professor Sprout looked dark, explained briefly, and quickly turned the topic back to Barty Crouch.

"At that time, good people can always show the best character, and bad people can expose the worst nature. Although Crouch later took some measures I did not agree with, but it is indeed impossible for him to become a Death Eater—— Perhaps Dumbledore is the wizard most feared by the Death Eaters, but Barty Crouch is definitely the one most hated by the Death Eaters. Sometimes, I even feel that he has become like many people on the dark side. Cold..."

Professor Sprout sighed softly, not commenting too much on Barty Crouch's past.

Lupin and Sirius also had the same complex expressions, and everyone looked at the headlines in the newspaper and fell silent.

"Yeah, so I hate him, but it doesn't prevent me from thinking that he is great—"

Sirius also sighed, closed the newspaper, and absently stirred the beef on his plate.

"When Voldemort was in power, you didn't know who was his supporter and who was not, and you didn't know who was serving him and who was not."

"People only know that Voldemort can hold people firmly in control and make them involuntarily do some terrible things. Everyone is afraid of themselves, their family and friends. Every week, bad news comes, and some people die. Some are missing, and some are being tortured..."

"The Ministry of Magic is in chaos, they don't know what to do, there is horror everywhere... nervous... chaos..."

"However, as Crouch became the director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, the Ministry of Magic finally had some counter-offensive strength in the face of the dark forces."

"The Aurors have gained a lot of new powers—for example, they have the right to kill, not just arrest. Crouch uses violence to deal with violence, and he allows the unforgivable curse to be applied to suspects. They are straight away without trial. I was not the only one who handed over to the Dementor. Of course, many people believed that Crouch was right in this way. After Voldemort disappeared, it seemed only a matter of time before Crouch became Minister of Magic. Until later..."

Sirius looked back on the past with a cold and ironic expression, "Crouch's biological son was caught, and he was with a group of Death Eaters who escaped prison with rhetoric. I remember they were there at the time. Looking for Voldemort, I want to make Voldemort rise again."

"He should spend more time with his family, and get off work early from time to time... to learn more about his son."

Professor Sprout shook his head, and said softly, rather sadly, "Doreen spoils that boy too much..."

As a good friend who slept next to the bed back then, Professor Sprout was very clear about the character of his girlfriends.

"So his son later became a Death Eater?" Lupin asked.

"I don't know. But it should be—" Sirius shrugged. "I was there myself when he was imprisoned in Azkaban. When the boy was arrested, the people with him were Death Eaters. ——" There was a cold flash in his eyes, and he nodded his chin at the Gryffindor table not far away.

"—You know what they were arrested for, Longbottoms. I don't think he is innocent."

"So Crouch personally sent him to Azkaban-Doreen fainted directly in the trial bench."

Sprout sighed deeply. Later, she took a leave of absence to visit the mother.

"Yes, very pitiful. His mother must be nice to him."

Sirius said, now his face is not funny at all.

"I saw the dementors bring him in. I watched them through the iron bars of the cell door. He was nineteen years old at most. They threw him into a cell next to me. In the evening, He screamed to his mother. But after a few days, he was silent..."

"They were all silent in the end...only occasionally screaming in their sleep..."

For a while, the gloomy expression in Sirius's eyes became particularly solemn, as if the blinds behind his eyes suddenly closed.

"So, that kid is still in Azkaban?" Lupin asked.

Unlike most wizards, after the fall of Voldemort, as a werewolf, he rarely had time to learn about these stories.

The fall of the dark forces will not make people forget the terrible werewolves. The Ministry of Magic's persecution and surveillance of werewolves have become more stringent year by year. He had never heard Sirius mention these things before—for Remus Lupin, it was already very difficult to live.

"Not anymore," Sirius said flatly, "he is no longer there. A year after they brought him in, he died."

"he died?"

"He wasn't the only one who died," Sirius said painfully. "There, most people went crazy, and many people went on hunger strike in the end."

"They have lost their desire to live. It is possible to know when a person will die, because the dementors can feel it, and every time they get excited. The boy was ill when he came. Crouch They were important officials of the Ministry of Magic. He and his wife were allowed to visit their dying son. That was the last time I saw Barty Crouch. He half-armed his wife and walked past my cell."

"Obviously, his wife died soon—excessive sadness—as haggard and dead like that boy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Crouch did not come to collect his son's body, and the Dementor buried him in the fortress. Outside. I watched them do this—"

Sirius released the knife in his hand, grabbed the pumpkin juice next to him and drank it all at once.

"so……"

"Barty Crouch can't fall to Voldemort's side. He has blood feuds with those guys-both."

"...I see what you mean. If Crouch is under house arrest..."

Lupin was silent for a few seconds, reopened the "Daily Prophet", and said softly.

"Either the Ministry of Magic has a problem, or Voldemort has offered a price that even Crouch can't refuse..."

"Either way, it's not good news for the magic world-Dumbledore should know this, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious."

"Yeah, but relatively speaking... I would rather have a problem with the Ministry of Magic."

Sirius said softly, shaking the empty glass in his hand.

"after all……"
