Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 187 Barty Crouch’s Interrogation

When little Barty Crouch was escorted to the Ministry of Magic by Aurors in front of everyone.

This once again caused a huge stir in the Ministry of Magic.

Everyone looked at this "resurrected" Death Eater in shock, and many people didn't even believe their eyes at this point.

Everyone became strongly curious about the resurrection of Barty Crouch Jr., and everyone wanted to know what shocking inside story was hidden in it.

Even the famous gossip magazine "The Quibbler" has published a message stating that all this is a huge conspiracy hatched by the Ministry of Magic.

Not only was Barty Crouch Jr. not dead, but all the other Death Eaters were actually still alive.

But no one took the news seriously, and it eventually became a joke among others.

Finally, the "Daily Prophet" published an article called "The True Face of Barty Crouch", which revealed the unknown side of Barty Crouch in detail.

As expected, this article was written by Rita Skeeter, and now Rita Skeeter has been taken advantage of by Ethan.

Ever since Ethan started working at the Ministry of Magic, Rita Skeeter has completely lost the courage to confront Ethan and has become obedient and submissive.

"The author will take you to peel off the glamorous disguise of Barty Crouch, the former Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, and reveal the chaotic and broken family hidden by Barty Crouch, as well as the little Barty. The truth behind Crouch’s fall.”

In addition to telling the truth about Barty Crouch rescuing Barty Crouch Jr., which Ethan asked Rita Skeeter to write, this article also contains a large amount of private information.

Rita Skeeter used her darkest conception to attribute Barty Crouch Jr.'s depravity to "his father's long-term neglect and his simple, crude and hegemonic education methods."

After reading the entire article, Ethan rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh. Rita Skeeter still couldn't change her bad habits.

Because Dementors are no longer trustworthy, the Ministry of Magic has opened two separate detention rooms for Barty Crouch and Barty Crouch Jr.

Now Barty Crouch has lost the imposing appearance of the director before, and has become decadent.

The exposure of his deepest secrets dealt a very serious blow to Barty Crouch. Now his hair is messy and his eyes are bloodshot.

He has not had a moment's rest since he was arrested. He is always in a state of high mental stress and has never slept.

Even so, Barty Crouch, who is sitting in front of Ethan, still has a straight waist, maintaining the last bit of dignity.

Just because of this, Barty Crouch's performance was much better than Fudge, which also made Ethan take a high look at Barty Crouch.

"Director Crouch, could you please tell us about the process of rescuing your son?" Ethan asked. Out of respect for Barty Crouch, Ethan still called Barty Crouch's position.

"I had already guessed that such a day would come -" Barty Crouch murmured softly. "From the day I rescued him, I had thought that such a day would come."

"My wife is about to die - she has been begging me, this is her last wish before she dies -" At this point, Barty Crouch's eye circles turned red.

His wife is one of his few weaknesses.

"I made a plan to replace my son with my wife, and then I let her die in Azkaban one by one!" Barty Crouch could no longer hold back after saying this. own sad emotions.

He held his head in pain and sobbed.

"After rescuing my son, he became different one by one. He seemed to be a completely different person." At this point, Barty Crouch's face turned pale.

"He kept talking about his terrible master, the Dark Lord."

"The experience in Azkaban made him completely crazy. He kept talking about the Dark Lord. He even wanted to kill me and return to his long-dead master!"

At this point, Barty Crouch's expression became a little ferocious.

"I really had no other choice. I had to cast the Imperius Curse on him, control him with the Imperius Curse, and send my house elf Winky to take care of him."

Barty Crouch's head was lowered, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, Barty Crouch made up his mind.

"I even harmed a Ministry of Magic employee for him, a witch in my office, Bertha Jorkins, who came to my house that day with documents to sign for me."

"I was not at home that day, so Shining took her home. She found my son in my home. After I came back, she directly questioned me about the matter."

"I was too anxious at that time. In desperation, I cast a very powerful forgetting spell on her, making her completely forget the secret she discovered."

"That spell was too powerful. It caused permanent damage to her memory. To compensate her, I left her in my office. She can no longer handle complicated matters."

After saying this, Barty Crouch seemed to be drained of all his strength, and he sat slumped on the chair.

"I have confessed everything I know." Barty Crouch murmured.

Ethan nodded, and the quill and notebook that had been floating next to the two voices and could automatically write and record the conversation stopped recording and floated back to the table.

"Then come here, Director Barty Crouch, the Wizengamot will give you a fair verdict." Ethan said.

"Barty Crouch nodded. He has always insisted on justice and has no objection to this result."

"Ethan, who disclosed the information about my son to you?" Barty Crouch asked. This was his most curious question. He thought that no one could know the information about his son except by accident. .

"There is no airtight wall in the world." Ethan replied calmly.

"Listen one by one," Ethan hesitated and then said to Barty Crouch.

"Your son is not crazy. The Dark Lord is indeed not dead. He is still alive."

Barty Crouch's eyes widened instantly. Ethan had never seen his eyes so wide before.

"Are you telling the truth?" Barty Crouch asked with a trembling voice.

Ethan nodded, confirming what he just said.

"Oh my god, one day, one day, one day," Barty Crouch muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Listen! Ethan!" Barty Crouch straightened up.

"Fudge's character is too weak! If the Dark Lord really comes back, he will never be able to lead the Ministry of Magic to resist the Dark Lord!"

"I know him too well! He will even deny the existence of the Dark Lord for the sake of his own status!" Barty Crouch said seriously.

"Fudge has no ability to rule the Ministry of Magic! It's fine in peacetime, but in wartime! He will lead everyone into the abyss!"
