From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Chapter 97 The big net behind Crouch

After bidding farewell to Nico Flamel and Bascida, Calvin returned to the office, took out a piece of parchment, and reorganized the recent events related to Crouch.

Barty Crouch, the Stonehenge Corruption, the Sirius Case, and Bertha Jorkins.

Calvin connected Barty Crouch with Stonehenge and Sirius with a solid line, while he drew a dotted line and a question mark between him and Bertha Jorkins.

If you want to rescue Blake, you can only find loopholes in the trial process back then, and the biggest loophole is Barty Crouch himself.

If Barty Crouch could be brought down directly, half of the task of rescuing Black would be completed - the Ministry of Magic would not uphold the verdict of the year for a fallen person.

The question now is whether the Stonehenge corruption case can bring down this roly-poly in the Ministry of Magic - when his son was revealed to be a Death Eater, the impact on him was only to miss the position of Minister of Magic.

Calvin took out the crystal ball that contained the memory of the Screaming Shack and watched the memory over and over again, repeating the scene with Barty Crouch.

In the end, he sadly came to the conclusion that the incident had no impact on Barty Crouch.With Fudge's temperament, he would only ask Barty to hand over the money, which would be considered understanding.

It seems that we have to think of other ways. I wonder if Little Ladybug has found any useful information.

When Calvin was having a headache for Barty, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the office.

"Come in." Calvin cleared the table a little and said lazily.

Aureliano, a tall Brazilian wizard, opened the door, sat across from Calvin, and greeted slightly cautiously: "Good afternoon, Mr. Capet."

"Ah, Aureliano is here," Calvin enthusiastically asked Amor to make a cup of coffee for Buendia. "How does it feel to be back on campus these days? Is it better than being in Knockturn Alley?" Are things getting much better here?"

"I have to say it's a novel experience. I didn't expect that more than ten years after I left school, I would be able to be with the energetic little wizards again," Aureliano gradually started talking, "There are many little wizards. Wizards like me very much, such as the twins in the third grade, who seem to be named Weatherly."

"Who?" Calvin couldn't help biting his tongue, "It should be Weasley."

"Yes, yes, you know, I don't know much about some surnames in the UK," Buendia said. "The two of them often come to me after class and ask some questions about Defense Against the Dark Arts. They also asked me what I can do during the summer vacation. You can’t take them for some field training.”

"Okay, very good," Calvin smiled, "George and Fred are really capable. Aureliano, promise them that you will take them there during the summer vacation, no, next month, next month Knockturn Alley, I want to teach them a profound lesson."

Buendia took a breath. Every time he saw Calvin's expression, it meant someone was going to be in bad luck. "Mr. Cappe, forget it, they are still children."

"Humph, these two troublemakers can tear down Knockturn Alley if you don't care about them." Calvin thought of the milk he kept getting stolen, and the powerful milk candy that was active in the underground market of Hogwarts.Unexpectedly, the twins wanted to reach into the underworld in Knockturn Alley this time. Unless their hands were broken, they would not know the pain.

Buendia made a sign of the cross on his chest, hoping that the two of them would not be too miserable by Calvin.

"Apart from the two of them, where are the other students?" Calvin asked again, "They didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

"How should I put it, Mr. Cappe," Buendia scratched his head and chose a more euphemistic way of saying it, "Children are very curious about knowledge, and many fifth-grade students are very interested in the knowledge of second and third grade. "

"Ahem," Calvin almost spit out his coffee, "Buendia, I'm not the principal, you don't have to say that."

Buendia nodded, "Then let me put it bluntly, in terms of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts is far behind Castello Busch."

“But overall, it was a good campus experience.”

Calvin smiled and said, "Well, I'll just say that being a professor has a much better future than smuggling. Do you want to keep doing it?"

"No, no," Buendia trembled all over, "I won't do it after these six months."

"Look how scared you are." Calvin smiled, "What if I wasn't the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?"

"So," Buendia became excited, "you plan to introduce me to Beauxbatons as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position at Hogwarts and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position at Beauxbatons may sound similar, but in fact the gap is huge. The former is like a rat in the sewer, and the latter is It’s the fragrant bread that everyone flocks to.

Calvin smiled and said, "You think so, Professor Robespierre hasn't planned to resign yet? I mean, if I run a school and you become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, will you do it?"

"That's okay." Buendia said ecstatically that he could finally fulfill his wish to work under Mr. Capet.

Calvin waved his hand, "It's still early. Do you have anything else to do with me?"

Buendia nodded, "We have some results about the people you asked us to check. Figo gave me all the information he could find."

Calvin nodded, "Bertha Jorkins, right? Tell me, what's wrong." At the same time, he glanced at the connection between Bertha and Barty on the parchment.

"Bertha Jorkins was born around 1958 and studied at Hogwarts from 1969 to 1976. After graduating from Hogwarts, she worked in the Ministry of Magic. She had some mental problems in the past two years and was expelled from one department. He goes to a department and often disappears, but he always comes back after a while."

"Missing?" Calvin leaned forward, "When did she first disappear?"

Buendia flipped through the parchment, "I'm looking for it, ah, here. Bertha Jorkins first disappeared in July three years ago. She disappeared for two weeks, and then came back on her own. , but after that her memory became very poor and she began to move between different departments, and finally stayed in the Sports Department.”

"Tsk," Calvin asked again, holding his chin with his right hand, "Did you record which department she was in and what she did before she disappeared for the first time?"

"Yes, yes," Buendia quickly flipped the parchment, "Bertha Jorkins has been working in the International Magical Cooperation Department after graduation. In July 1989, she sent a document to her boss's home. She later disappeared, and her superiors said they didn't know where she was, and she returned to work at the Ministry of Magic two weeks later."

"Her boss's home?" Calvin narrowed his eyes, "Who is her boss?"

"Crouch, Barty Crouch."
