Chapter 442: The Missing Crouch [Four/Thirty-Nine]

Chapter 442 Crouch's Disappearance

It was a tense time recently, and he had been waiting for the moment when Voldemort's conspiracy would strike. Listening to what happened to Crouch, he immediately connected these things together, and Crouch may have been controlled by Voldemort early in the morning.

In the first link of the Triwizard Tournament, the prosperous fire dragon that Harry faced may also be an operation arranged by Voldemort.

"Yes, that's the case."

As soon as George reminded, Harry immediately reacted, and Crouch's behavior at the time really looked like he had just escaped.

"He took a tree as Percy and kept telling Percy about the Triwizard Tournament. At the beginning, he was talking about normal work. When I went to ask him later, he immediately Remembering his purpose, he asked me to warn Dumbledore of the approaching danger."

A look of pity appeared on Harry's face, "But he soon lost his mind again, and he started giving details about his child, saying that he had passed the general wizarding rank exam with good grades and that he was proud of him. "

"I gave him a simple treatment with magic, and asked Krum to look after him, and then I ran to the headmaster's office to find Professor Dumbledore."

"The password in Professor Dumbledore's office has been changed, and I was delayed there for a few hours." A contemptuous expression appeared on his face, "Because of nasty Snape, he tried to interfere with me, but fortunately Dumbledore Professor Lido showed up very quickly."

His tone grew heavy again. "However, by the time I returned to the other side of the forest with Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch was missing. Krum was attacked and knocked out. Crow Mr. Qi disappeared completely, and Dumbledore used a detection magic, but couldn't find anything."

George pondered for a while, and it seemed that Voldemort's men in the school took action and took Crouch away.

He asked, "Who else was in the forest at that time?"

"Bagman should have been in the forest at the time, and then I met Mr. Crouch with Krum, and then I went to Professor Dumbledore. Krum was attacked, and it was not clear who else would be on the way. ."

"After Dumbledore arrived, Hagrid and Professor Moody appeared, and finally Dumbledore asked Hagrid to inform Karkaroff."

Harry counted the people who were probably still in the forest at the time.

"When Karkaroff came, he looked irritable. He said that Dumbledore had tricked them into coming to the competition. He said that Dumbledore had bad intentions. But this annoyed Hagrid, and Hagrid lifted him up. When he got up, he didn't dare to speak."

"Then Dumbledore asked Hagrid to take me back to the dormitory."

Harry finished thinking about yesterday.

George pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "There are too few clues, all we know now is that Crouch is missing, probably in the hands of Voldemort, or even dead. Voldemort was in the Triwizard Tournament. There is a conspiracy on it, which we knew from the beginning."

"I think the Ministry of Magic should already be investigating the matter of Crouch's disappearance. For the time being, we can only wait and see what happens." George said calmly, and then he thought about it again. He turned his eyes to Harry and asked, "Did you use the Marauder's map at the time?"

"I didn't dare to use the Marauder's map in front of Dumbledore, but I checked the Marauder's map as soon as I got back to the dormitory. It didn't have Barty Crouch's name on it, and he was probably taken away."

Harry said calmly that he didn't forget this detail at the time, and he used the Marauder's map as soon as he got back to the dormitory.

Marauder's map can see the invisible person, and there is no Barty Crouch's name on it, which proves that he is not hiding or choosing to be invisible. He really left the school.

"It may also be dead." George added another possibility in a cold tone.

This might make Harry, Hermione, and Ron stunned. A coolness rushed up from the soles of their feet, causing them to shudder.

Apart from escaping the school, the dead also do not appear on the Marauder's map.

"Maybe he was just taken away by someone on a broomstick," Hermione said in a guilty tone.

Even if she didn't like Mr. Crouch, she hated his attitude towards house-elves. But when he thought of someone he knew, he died in the school so lightly. This terrible truth was difficult for her to accept, and she couldn't help but find excuses and excuses for it.

"Percy will cry knowing this, Mr. Crouch is simply his ideal idol." Ron said in a heavy tone.

Although Mr. Crouch was not likable, with Percy's constant mentioning and constant indoctrination, Ron had to know a lot of information about Crouch. He was a great wizard, a great Ministry of Magic official.

He knew more than two hundred languages, worked meticulously, and was what Percy dreamed of being.

Such a high-ranking official in the wizarding world, a powerful wizard, disappeared silently in the school and under Voldemort's conspiracy. Everyone couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while, and they all fell into silence.

After a while, George broke the silence and spoke.

"The Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter. Although there will be no stricter training in the next time, it is still necessary to maintain your state. Harry also needs to consider the next game. Crouch We can only wait and see what happens.”

He said calmly, "This is the end of the matter, and more troubles are meaningless. No matter what conspiracy Voldemort has, he will show it eventually. Before that, all you need is to be prepared and do your own thing."

Harry and the others exchanged glances, and now, the only thing they can do is to be themselves. I just hope that Mr. Crouch did not encounter an accident. What they can do is to cope with the challenge from Voldemort in the best state.

At night, Harry was still worrying about the events of the day. All indications are that Voldemort is really resurrected. This time Voldemort is different. He is back to being truly powerful, maybe even stronger.

George's messengers and ghosts in England were unable to find any trace of Voldemort. And Voldemort has been under their noses, kidnapping and even killing a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official, a powerful wizard.

Voldemort has more conspiracies planned, perhaps in a month's time, at the time of the Triwizard Tournament. Everything will change, peace and tranquility will be completely gone, and turmoil and fear will follow.

Thinking of this made Harry feel heavy in his heart.
