Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"Professor... I want to know if Voldemort has returned..." Nydia asked, and she heard from Barty Crouch Jr.'s words that the Death Eaters seemed to have returned to Voldemort's side. Does this mean that Voldemort has completely recovered and he has begun to gather his original followers again?

Dumbledore turned his head to Harry, "Potter may be the only one who can accurately answer these questions for you at the moment."

In fact, Harry didn't want to recall what he had experienced in the cemetery. He looked at Nitya and knew that she must be very concerned about this matter. After hesitating for a moment, he still answered with difficulty. , "Yes, he has come back, he has regained his physical body, and those things he once had..." Harry suddenly stopped here, his eyes looked at Draco, and the next words were choked in his throat. Coming out, he wondered whether Nydia knew the identity of Draco's father as a Death Eater, and whether Draco himself knew these facts.

Draco noticed the hesitation in Harry's eyes, and he knew in his heart that his father must have appeared among the group of people summoned by the Dark Lord.

"I think I still..." Draco felt that he should leave first, but he didn't want to leave Nydia here.

"We can talk about more specific things later. Now we need to hear the story of our man who should have died in Azkaban." Dumbledore interrupted Draco, and he looked at Draco said, "I think your father would be interested in this too."

Nydia rested her head on Draco's shoulder. After Harry clearly answered that Voldemort had completely returned, she stopped listening carefully to the rest of the content. Barty Crouch Jr. had said that he would take her back to Voldemort. She didn't know if this was just Barty Crouch Jr.'s own idea or with Voldemort's instructions.

He will definitely come to find him, he can be sure of this, in order to sacrifice his life to protect the spell... But will he really stop allowing himself to stay in Hogwarts just so that he can agree with his ideas? Nitya felt worried about this.

It didn't take long for Snape to return with Winky, and Professor McGonagall followed closely behind them. When Winky saw Barty Crouch Jr., he immediately rushed towards him excitedly.

Snape walked towards Nydia. He handed the food in his hand to Draco and then reached out to take off the tie tied around Nydia's eyes.

"Professor! The light will make her eyes uncomfortable." Seeing Snape trying to take off his tie, Draco immediately stopped him.

But Snape did not stop what he was doing because of Draco's stop, and still took off the tie tied around Nydia's eyes, "Her eyes need to adapt to the light, you will only make her Recovery is slower. If you feel dazzled, close your eyes first, and then try to open them after you get used to it.”

After saying this, Snape walked up to Dumbledore and handed the Veritaserum into Dumbledore's hands.

"You killed him! You killed the master's son!" Winky said excitedly as she threw herself on Barty Crouch Jr.'s chest.

"He was just hit by a coma spell, Twinkle, please get out of the way now."

Dumbledore walked forward, dragged little Barty Crouch who was lying on the ground to the wall, made him sit under a huge mirror, then opened his mouth and dropped the Veritaserum into it. .

"Resume quickly." Dumbledore pointed his wand at Barty Crouch Jr.

Little Bud Crouch woke up, but his eyes were dull and his expression was distracted. Dumbledore squatted in front of him and asked him, "Can you hear me?"

"You can hear it," Barty Crouch Jr. whispered.

"I hope you can tell us how you escaped from Azkaban." Dumbledore asked.

Barty Crouch Jr. began to describe in a unemotional tone how he escaped from Azkaban. It turned out that his mother drank Polyjuice Potion and changed into his appearance to replace him. Since then, he has been locked up at home under the Imperius Curse by his father, Barty Crouch, and guarded by the house elf Winky. This is what Winky calls his master's important secret.

"If you have been locked up at home, why did you show up at the Quidditch World Cup again?" Nydia was trying to open her eyes. The light in the room was not too bright, and she could barely see now. Got something, "You attacked me in the woods, and you summoned the Dark Mark."

"It was Winky who persuaded my father. She knew that I liked Quidditch. She persuaded my father that my mother did not rescue me to imprison me, but to set me free." Crouch Jr. still spoke in a monotone. Said in a tone of voice, "My father finally agreed, and Winky took me to the competition site with an invisibility cloak, but Winky didn't know that I was slowly getting stronger, and I began to resist my father's Imperius Curse. When I woke up, "I stole a wand from the pocket of a boy in the top room and hid it on my body."

Barty Crouch Jr.'s words made Twinkle cry sadly. She accused Barty Crouch Jr. of being a bad boy and causing big trouble for her father.

"When those guys who had never entered Azkaban came out to make trouble at night. They had freedom but never thought of finding my master. They only knew how to play tricks on Muggles here. Their voices awakened my consciousness. I Escape! I want to teach them a lesson," Barty Crouch Jr. continued, "I met Miss Nitya in the woods. I didn't know her identity at that time and almost made a big mistake... …Fortunately, a woman came out to stop me.”

"Woman?" Nitya asked in surprise. She didn't see anyone else at the scene! "What woman?"

"Miss Nitya is very smart. She used her patronus to entangle me, but she didn't run too far. I wanted to chase her, but suddenly a woman came out of the woods. I was not her. Fortunately, she didn't make things difficult for me. She just warned me not to approach Miss Nydia again. Then I used the stolen wand to summon the Dark Mark, and Winky found me, a person from the Ministry of Magic. They also rushed over and cast stun spells everywhere. I was hit and passed out in the woods, but my father suppressed the incident and drove away Twinkle."

"Do you know who the woman who helped you is?" Dumbledore looked at Nydia.

"I...I don't know. I was just running away and didn't notice anyone else. I was wondering why he didn't come after me!" Nydia didn't dare to look directly into Dumbledore's eyes. , his eyes always make people feel like they can see through everything. Nydia knew in her heart that the woman Barty Crouch Jr. was talking about must be Iwan. It seemed that the reason why Draco failed to catch her was because she had returned and recovered. In human form.

"It seems that there is a mysterious figure hidden next to you!" Snape said suddenly. He looked at Nitya inquiringly. He must have remembered what he had lost in memory before.

"I don't know..." Nidia lowered her head guiltily. Yiwan didn't want to expose her existence, so Nidia wouldn't tell others.

"Let's continue asking about Barty Crouch Jr.!" Draco said, and he could basically guess that the woman was Yi Wan.

Seeing that Nydia didn't want to say anything, Dumbledore stopped asking the question. He once again asked Barty Crouch Jr., "What happens after that? Why are you pretending to be Alastor Moody again?" of?"

Barty Crouch Jr. continued to narrate his own story. He told how Voldemort found him and gave him a task, which was to sneak into Hogwarts disguised as Moody in order to send Harry to Voldemort. in front of.

"But what about your father? Didn't he look after you?" Harry asked aloud, "He later came to the school, and then disappeared again. Was he also captured by you?"

Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly laughed triumphantly, "The master found me, and my father's and I's situations were reversed. He was cast by the master's Imperius Curse, but then he started to resist like me. , so the master simply asked him to claim his illness and stop coming out, but Wormtail was still messed up. He let my father run out. The master guessed that he would come to Dumbledore, so he informed me to intercept him no matter what. Come down, I saw on the map that he entered the school range, I waited until Potter went to find Dumbledore and knocked Krum unconscious, and then..." He smiled proudly again, "Then I gave him Killed! Buried in those holes Hagrid dug."

"No!" Twinkle wailed! "Master Barty, you know what you are talking about! How could you kill your master! He is your father!"

Barty Crouch Jr.'s face did not show any guilt, but instead seemed like he had accomplished a feat.

"Map?" Dumbledore asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Potter's magical map, you can see the movements of everyone in the school on it, but this map also almost exposed me. Potter saw me sneaking into Snape's office on it, but Fortunately the name on the map was Barty Crouch and he mistakenly thought it was my father."

Draco glanced furtively into Harry's pocket. He remembered that Harry had finally folded the map and put it in it.

"My plan was successful. I turned the Triwizard Cup into a portkey, and successfully sent Harry to his master! My master has restored his physical body, and I will receive the reward that all wizards dream of." That kind of almost madness The smug smile appeared on his face again.

Everyone was silent, and for a moment the only sound left in the room was the sound of Twinkle sobbing. Nidia felt both heavy and relieved. Barty Crouch Jr. drank the truth serum. Anyone who asked would definitely tell him, so she had been worried that he would tell Rita Sky. Fortunately, Dumbledore stopped asking Barty Crouch Jr. about these things after hearing what he said before.
