Chapter 706 The Complete Process
"Does anyone know that you are still alive?" Dumbledore still asked softly, "Besides your father and this servant?"
"Yes," Crouch said, his eyelids fluttering rapidly a few more times, "Percy, a witch from my father's office, came into the house with documents and asked for my father's signature. He was not at home, and Sparkle led her into the house, and then went to the kitchen to find me, but Percy Zolkins heard Winky talking to me, and she came in to check. She heard enough to guess who was talking to Winky, and her father came home and met her. On it, he used a very powerful memory charm to make her forget what she had discovered. Because it was so powerful, he said the spell permanently destroyed her memory."
"Why has she come to pry into my master's private affairs?" cried Winky. "Why has she not left us as we are?"
"Tell me about the Quidditch World Cup," said Dumbledore.
"It was Winky who told her father." Crouch still said in that monotonous voice. "She spent several months trying to persuade him. She said I had been staying at home for several years and I liked Quidditch. Strange. Let him go, he will wear an invisibility cloak, and let him go out for a breath of fresh air. She said that my mother would definitely agree with her. She told her father that my mother used her life in exchange for my free life, not in exchange for it. All my life while I was still imprisoned, he finally agreed.”
"This was carefully arranged. My father took me and Shining to Tombos early in the morning. Shining said that he would save a place for my father. In fact, I was sitting there invisibly. Only everyone left the cubicle, and we When he came out, Twinkle seemed to be alone, and no one knew the truth."
"But Winky didn't know that I was getting stronger. I began to fight against my father's Imbrio spell. Several times I almost recovered. There were several brief periods when I broke free from his control, and finally it happened. And it was in Tombos that it was like waking up from a deep sleep, and in the middle of the race I found myself exposed to the crowd, and I noticed a wand emerging from the bag of a boy in front of me Come on, I haven't been able to have a wand since I entered Azkaban, so I stole it and Winky didn't know it, Winky was afraid of heights and she kept covering her face."
"Master Crouch, you bad boy," Winky whispered, tears falling on her fingers.
"So you got the wand," said Dumbledore, "and how do you use it?"
"It's the master's servant." Crouch said, "They attacked the Quidditch World Cup, so I took advantage of the chaos and tried to escape, but I was discovered by Winky."
"I was a little unclear at the time, but I could still recognize that those who attacked at the Quidditch World Cup were not any of our previous...things that had never been to Azkban. They had never been to Azkban. Suffered for my master, all betrayed him. They were no longer enslaved, they were free to come to him, but instead of doing so, they were just playing muggle sports, that sound woke me up, my mind More awake than I had been in a few years, that made me angry, I had my wand and decided to attack them because they betrayed their master! Winky was angry when she saw me, she used her magic to connect me to her and prepared to walk out of the venue, Go into the forest and stay away from the corpse eaters. I want to stop her. I want to teach the corpse eaters a lesson and let them know what loyalty to the Black Duke means. What I want to punish them is not, I use the stolen wand. Shoot the black mark into the sky."
"Later, the battle between the wizard named Fanlin Aier and the master's slave came to an end. The huge magic shock interrupted the connection between us. I took the opportunity to release the mark, but I knew very well that this would be exposed. So I thrust the wand into Winky's hand and apparated away."
"But the area where the magic burst out was too chaotic. I wore an invisibility cloak and tried to force my way through, but I failed. It was very difficult without a wand."
"When Winky was found, my father knew I must be around. He searched the bushes where she had been, but he didn't find me there. However, he found me in the end. He was on top of me. He left a mark so I couldn't escape, but after everyone else came out of the forest, he put the Imbrio spell on me again and took me home. He sent Winky away, and she ordered him Nearly being exposed got me a wand and almost allowed me to escape.”
Twinkle let out a desperate cry.
"Now my father and I are alone at home, and then," Crouch shook his head, a burst of ecstasy on his face, "my master found me."
"One night late at night, he and his servant, a vampire, came to my house. My master found out that I was still alive. He captured Percy Zolkins in Albania and tortured her. She told the master many things, telling him about the three About the witchcraft competition, and that old Moody was going to teach at Hogwarts, he continued to torture her, so much so that he eventually broke the memory charm my father had placed on her body, and she told him that I Having escaped from Azkban, and being held captive by my father himself, unable to find him. Therefore, my master knows that I am still his loyal servant, perhaps even the most loyal, and according to the information Percy gave him, I The master hatched a plan and he needed my help, so he came to my house near midnight and my father opened the door."
Crouch's face smiled even happier, as if recalling the sweetest time in his life.
"Soon, my father was put under an Imberrio spell by his master. Now he was imprisoned and controlled. His master forced him to do things as usual, as if nothing had happened. When I was released, I When I woke up, I was myself again, as energetic as I had been a few years ago!”
"Then what did Lord Voldemort ask you to do?" Dumbledore asked.
"He asked me if I was ready to do anything for him, to take any risks, and I always said that was my dream, my greatest ambition, to serve him and prove to him what I was capable of, and he told me he needed to be there Hogwarts places a loyal servant who will guide Potter through the Three Wizards Tournament without showing up to do it himself. He will monitor Harry Potter and ensure that he gets the gold cup and turns the gold cup into A portkey that leads the first person who encounters it to its owner, but first...
"You need Alastor Moody," said Dumbledore, his blue eyes burning with rage but his voice remaining calm.
"The vampire and I did this together. We prepared the Dolly potion beforehand and sneaked into Moody's room. He struggled for a while, but we subdued him in time and put him into a small room in his own magic box. , cut off some of his hair and added it to the potion. I drank the potion and turned into Moody. I also took away his wooden legs and magic eyes. When Arthur Weasley came to deal with those who heard something, I was ready to go find him when there was some noise from a Muggle. I moved the trash can in my yard and told Arthur Weasley that I had heard an intruder in my yard trying to move the trash can, and then I put on Moody's clothes and black detector, put them in the suitcase with Moody, and then set off to Hogwarts. The vampire didn't let him die, but just cursed him with the Imberion spell. .
In fact, because the master lacked reliable manpower, the final lurking work was done by the vampire whose name he couldn't remember. He said that this was part of the deal. Although I didn't understand it very well, I still understood what happened next. clearly.
As a means of control, the vampire must hand over his memories of Hogwarts.
Later, I saw that the vampire wanted to ask him questions, find out his past history, and learn his habits so that he could hide it from everyone, including Dumbledore. He also needed Moody's hair to make Polyjuice Potion, The other ingredients were easy to find. I stole Boomsian's skin from the dungeon. When the pharmacist asked me why I was in his office, he said he was ordered to find something. "
"So, what happened to you after you attacked Moody?" Dumbledore asked. "I went back to look after my master at my father's house, and to keep an eye on him as well."
"But your father escaped," said Dumbledore. "Yes, after a while, he began to resist the Imberrio spell, just like myself. There were a few times when he knew what was going to happen, and my master decided not to let him leave the house. That way, it was already Becoming unsafe, in this way, he forced my father to send letters to the ministries saying that he was sick, but I was too busy and did not fulfill my duties. I handed the matter over to a vampire, but he didn't see it firmly enough. , my father ran away, and the master guessed that he must have gone to Hogwarts to tell a story about everything, to confess that he had smuggled me out of Azkban.
"The master sent a letter telling me about my father's escape. He asked me to stop him at all costs, so I have been waiting and watching. I lurked outside Hogwarts, and inside Hogwarts, the guy who played Moody was always watching. about this matter."
"Later, I found him in other places." Crouch said, "The master's curse is not easy to break away from. My father was a little crazy, so he was exposed. But during the battle, he escaped again Come out, escape at all costs, and apparate to the outside of Hogwarts."
"You came after me?"
"Yes, I didn't even have time to notify my partners. I just brought an assistant and chased him out after giving up." Crouch said, "But the worst thing is that the wizard named Fan Lin Aier was also in the Forbidden Forest at that time. Inside, there was a boy from Durmstrang, and as soon as we appeared, that Fan Lin El followed the magic wave."
"Then what?"
"Unfortunately, I did not kill my father." Crouch said, "However, the master did some experiments on my father, so I am not worried."
"What experiment?"
"I don't know. I only know that the vampires took it. Some of it was found in ancient ruins. It's a totem, or something. The owner Zhongri is studying him. Maybe it's demonic magic."
"Demon magic?" Dumbledore groaned, and it seemed that he couldn't get any useful information from Barty Crouch Jr.'s mouth.
"No, no, no!" Twinkle cried wailing, "Little Master Crouch, Little Master Crouch, what are you talking about?"
"You killed your father." Dumbledore said, still so softly, "You still succeeded. He died in St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic, and his soul was destroyed together."
"I know, I know." An almost fanatical expression appeared on Barty Crouch Jr.'s face, "No one can escape from the master's grasp."
Barty Jr.'s words made Harry feel a little uncomfortable, but...
"Then what?" Dumbledore asked softly, "What else did you do after that?"
"The master punished me." Crouch said, "But fortunately the plan has not changed. The vampire is still lurking from Hogwarts as Moody, and I continue to serve the master. We found the master's father. The bones, combined with my arm, only need Harry Potter's blood, but we have plenty of patience."
Crouch slowly narrated, which made Harry feel a little chilly. Fan Lin had never lied to him, but it was just that he himself failed to live up to his expectations...
"The last task of the Three Wizards Fighting Competition has begun. According to the plan, the vampire will guide Harry Potter to get the trophy." Barty Crouch Jr. said, "We have already prepared for this. , although I don’t believe in any vampire, but I don’t think we will fail either… Sure enough, Harry Potter is here, and there is an unknown boy.”
"His name is Cedric, Cedric Diggory!" Harry said impatiently, "Kill him."
"I originally wanted to kill him, but I was blocked by that vampire. He wanted to turn Cedric into one of his people, a vampire. I have to say, this is much more interesting than killing him."
"I presided over the ritual of the Resurrection Technique, and then waited quietly until my master, through the bones of his father, the flesh and blood of his servants, and the blood of his enemies, came back with incomparable power."
"So, what are you doing here?"
"Seize Harry Potter!" Barty Crouch Jr. said, "This is an opportunity. The defense of Hogwarts is lax, if it hadn't been destroyed by the kid named Fanlin Elle again. , I don’t want to come to Hogwarts to take this risk, he actually tried to fight with my master, and the most incredible thing is that he actually resisted."
"How is Fan Lin? Has anything happened to him?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Oh, the boy escaped through the Phoenix. We couldn't trace the Phoenix's footprints, so the master was very angry, and then I wanted to make the master happy." (To be continued)
