Vol 2 Chapter 657: Crouch's past

()……
Sirius walked over in the room and walked back and said: "At that time Voldemort was in power. You don't know who his followers are or who is working for him. You only know that he can control people's involuntary behavior. He serves. You fear for yourself, your family and friends. Every week there are deaths, disappearances, abuses... The Minister of Magic is at a loss, they try to hide the Muggles, but Mag is dying. It used to be like this, everywhere. Full of horror, panic, and confusion. There are always people who live well, while others are terrible."
Sirius sighed and continued.
"Crouch's principles were good at the beginning-I didn't think it was at the time. He was quickly promoted to minister and used severe methods to fight against Voldemort's followers. Not only could the righteous master arrest people, he was also granted murder. I’m one of a lot of people who were escorted to Azkaban before being tried. Crouch used violence to resist violence and used high-handed methods against suspects. I dare say this is as unreasonable and brutal as the underworld . But he has his followers. Believe it or not, many people think he did it right, and there are a lot of wizards and witches calling for him to be Minister of Magic. When Voldemort disappeared, Barty Crouch got this. The position is only a matter of time. But at this time an unfortunate thing happened..."
Sirius smiled grimly, and Fanlin raised his eyebrows. This is a scandal for Barty Crouch. Obviously, Sirius has been resenting Barty Crouch. Otherwise, he would not suffer for nothing. The suffering of Azkaban for twelve years.
That's not a good place. Most of the dark wizards died shortly after entering Azkaban. Few wizards could live safely until they were released.
Of course, this refers to the inner prison. Hagrid went to Azkaban. After returning, Hagrid's body recovered for a full month or two.
"Barty Crouch's son was captured by a group of corpse eaters. Obviously, they threatened Barty Crouch with this in an attempt to find Voldemort and restore his power." Sirius continued, his There was a deep disgust on his face.
"Barty Crouch's son was arrested?" Hermione said, holding her breath. The girl grabbed Van Lin's arm and she was a little excited and nervous.
Sirius treated the chicken bones in his hand, then took the bread and tore it in half.
"It was quite a shock for Barty Crouch, I guess. He should spend more time with his son, he should leave the office early to get to know his son."
He swallowed a big chunk of bread fiercely.
"Is his son a corpse eater?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," Sirius still stuffed the bread into his mouth. "I was already in Azkeban when he was locked in. The boy must have been captured by the corpse eater, but he could also Appeared when it shouldn't have appeared, like an elf."
"Has Crouch tried to rescue his son?" Hermione whispered.
Sirius burst out laughing, more like a dog barking to be exact. "Crouch let his son out? I thought you knew him better, Hermione? Anything that affects his honor has to get out of the way. What he pursues in his life is to become the Minister of Magic. You haven't seen him treat a loyal one. Did the elf drive away? Just because the elf wanted him to contact the Death Eaters. Doesn’t this tell me what kind of person he is? The love Crouch gave to his son was to judge him, and even if it was, it would show him. How much hate this kid... and then he sent him to Azqueban."
"He gave his son to the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked softly.
"Exactly." Sirius looked cold and unhappy. "I saw him being taken in. He was at most nineteen years old. They threw him in the cell next to me. At night he screamed to find his mother. He stopped calling after a few days, but in a dream Still shouting."
"Is he still in Azkeban?" Harry asked.
"No," Sirius said blankly, "he is gone, he will die there a year later."
"He's dead?" Harry looked a little unbelievable, although he knew the horror of Azkaban early on, but...
"He's not the only one dead," Sirius said faintly, "Most people are crazy, and many people go on hunger strikes and commit suicide. They don't have the will to live anymore. You can feel death coming anytime there. Besides, that The boy was already sick when he came. Because Crouch was an important person, he and his wife could see his son for the last time. That was the last time I saw Crouch, and he helped his wife walk through my room. She also died later, obviously in grief. Crouch did not go to the funeral."
Sirius put down the bread brought to his lips, took the pumpkin juice and drank it. "Old Crouch has nothing. He thought he would get it." He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Originally, this hero was to be the Minister of Magic, but the son died, the wife was gone, and the family became defiled. When his son died, people began to sigh how such a good boy could get lost. As a result, people came to a conclusion: his father didn’t care about him. The result was not bad. Cornelius Fudge ascended to the throne and Crouch was kicked into the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department."
Everyone was silent for a long time. Harry was thinking back to the Quidditch World Cup meeting in the woods when Crouch stared at his disobedient elf. I must be thinking of his son ~EbookFREE.me~ his scandal and his inability to get promoted.
"Moody said Crouch was looking for the black wizard." Harry told Sirius.
"I've heard of it, but if he thinks he can recover the power of yesterday by catching a corpse eater, he is wrong."
"Isn't your brother Klaus's assistant? Have a chance to ask if he has seen Klaus recently?"
Ron is a little unsure. His relationship with Percy is not good. To be precise, since Percy became Crouch's assistant, the relationship between Percy and the entire Weasley brothers has also become bad. .
This is not difficult to understand. From the beginning, Percy was only liked by Mr. Weasley. Of course, it was only when he was a student and after entering the Ministry of Magic that Mr. Weasley discovered the difference.
As for Mrs. Weasley, she was proud of Percy from beginning to end. It can be said that Percy is the most outstanding heir of the existing Weasley family in the traditional sense.
If, Weasley is still a family.
