[Comprehensive] Digging Secrets in the Academy of Magic

[Extra 1 Quidditch World Cup and Crouch Jr.]

The chaotic venue was filled with endless tents. Lucius and Narcissa walked in the forefront, showing subtle expressions of disgust towards the various wizards around them.Draco and Harry followed behind them hand in hand, while Al hung at the end of the line, craned his neck and looked around.

Al could see the Malfoy tent not far away—it was so conspicuous, maybe the house-elves had arrived first to set them up—it was a circle larger than the other tents around, even though those tents were also purebloods family.The Malfoy family tent was like a small palace, with a lot of exaggerated striped silk, the crest of the Malfoy family was printed on the top, and there were a few live peacocks tied to the door.

Draco twitched the corner of his mouth. It is conceivable that just with these few peacocks, the Malfoy family will give outsiders such a flirty impression.

Lucius stood in front of the tent with his scepter in his hand, showing a smug smile, like a peacock head, and turned to introduce to the three children: "This is our tent—Where is Al?"

I saw Draco and Harry standing side by side, keeping a suitable distance between them, but Al disappeared.

A few hundred meters away from the Malfoys' tent was the Weasleys' tent.

Compared with the tall tent tip of the Malfoy family, the Weasley family's tent looked pitiful, only a bulging bag less than a person's height.

"Come in, sweet home." Mr. Weasley greeted, and the children of the Weasley family filed in. George followed at the end. Before he entered, he felt a slap on his right shoulder.

George turned his head straight to the left, just in time to meet a stunned Al.

"How did you know I was here?"

George laughed, and naturally kissed the lips of his little boyfriend whom he hadn't seen in summer vacation: "Because you're a fool."

"Don't be seen by others." Al pinched his waist, the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, "I'll go back to my tent first, remember to look for me when I watch the game tomorrow, we are in the box on the top floor .If you're going to place a bet, remember that Ireland will win, but Bulgaria will catch the Snitch, you know?"

George looked surprised by Al's news: "I was about to tell you that too, and that's what we're going to do."

Al thought for a while, then took out a small bag from his pocket, which contained the pocket money he had saved up during the summer vacation, dozens of Galleons: "This will bet for me, too, okay?"

He could already hear Lucius calling himself, and Al ran towards his tent, not forgetting to blow a kiss to George.

George grabbed the blown kiss in the air and stuffed it into his mouth.

Al laughed and almost fell on the tip of someone's tent without paying attention.

"Where did you go?" Lucius asked with a sigh of relief when he saw his precious son running back.

There are too many people here, and there are many enemies of the Malfoy family. As the youngest son of the Malfoy family, Al, Malfoy's characteristics are too obvious, and it will be miserable if he is caught by the enemies.

"I saw a classmate, so I went to say hello." Al smiled obediently at Lucius, "Sorry Dad, I won't run around again."

Since his son was fine, Lucius didn't pursue it any further, and waved him to get into the tent quickly.

Not only does the tent of Malfoy's house look twice as big as other people's houses from the outside, but it also has a hidden hole inside.Al felt that this tent was like moving his own manor into it. If George were here, he would find that just a living room was bigger than the entire Weasley family tent.

As soon as George entered the Weasleys' tent, Fred asked, "See him?"

"How do you know?" George wondered.

"You look happy." Fred rolled his eyes. "Like a mole in heat."

George: "..."

After dinner, Mr. Ludo Bagman came to visit in front of the tent of Weasley's family. He was the Minister of Sports and he was very enthusiastic. He didn't pay attention to disguising himself as a Muggle, so as not to let the Muggle discover the secrets of wizards.

The Weasley twins hadn't hesitated to put all their savings and Al's money in it, plus an extra fake wand whose tip would turn into a chicken if someone cast a spell with it.Mr. Bagman seemed to like it so much that he was willing to pay five Galleons.

Mr Bagman also went to Malfoy's house, even someone like Lucius who didn't seem that interested in Quidditch beat Ireland to win with some Galleons, and as for Draco... Draco's All the money was taken away by Al Sou.

Draco, who was penniless and couldn't even buy Harry a telescope, threatened Al through his teeth: "If you don't double my money and return it to me, I will..."

Before Draco could finish his threatening words, Al assured him, "I'll definitely make you a lot of money."

--------

Before the game started, the Malfoy family went to the box on the top floor of the stands, sharing a box with the commentator Mr. Bagman—of course, the Weasleys were also here.

When he first came up and saw the pile of red hair, Lucius looked like someone had stuffed a dung bomb under his nose.

The children greeted each other excitedly, and Hermione was here too, following Fred, and the Weasley children crowded in front, and Al couldn't help but squeezed to George's side, standing next to him, giving Gave him a telescope: "Here."

Lucius' "What did you sell to get the ticket here, Arthur?" The mocking voice and George's stuttering voice sounded at the same time: "This... this is too expensive."

"I guessed all your money was spent on betting." Al shrugged, "Don't mind, I did too, so Harry bought these, you can just thank Harry."

George turned his head to see Harry and Draco secretly exchange a kiss behind Mr. Lucius' back.

"I think he's busy right now." George grinned and put his hand around Al's little finger.

Busy talking, Lucius and Arthur didn't realize that the children had huddled together, and the heads of Potter, Weasley and Malfoy looked like some kind of hair dye exhibition convention, where the adults couldn't notice Doing various little tricks; not long after, Mr. Bagman announced that the Quidditch World Cup had officially begun.

The first to perform was the Bulgarian team mascot, Veela.Al knew the prestige of this beautiful-looking creature, and he was ready to hold George to prevent him from flying directly to the Veela. Unexpectedly, the Veela danced for a long time, and George didn't respond at all.

Not only George, Fred, Draco, and Harry were all fine, but Ron couldn't control himself. When the Veela stopped dancing, Ron had already stepped on the guardrail with one foot and was about to jump off .

Ginny covered her face, pretending not to know Ron, and moved aside.

"Vela doesn't work on people who are already in love," George whispered in Al's ear.

Al felt his face burn as well.

--------

"Where did your father go?"

The night after the Quidditch World Cup, no one slept all night long.Everyone is partying, whether it's for the winning team or the losing team.Mr. Lucius did not return to the tent with the children.Only Narcissa is looking after them.

"I don't know, maybe there's something going on." Al said absently.

He listened attentively to the movement outside the tent.Later, the other Slytherin children came to their tent to play together.Pansy, Vincent, Gregory, and Blaise, all arrived at their tent.Neither of their fathers was in his tent, and Narcissa had to take care of the children.

After playing for a long time, they were exhausted and went to sleep separately.Al kept his vigilance all the time, and in the middle of the night, suddenly he heard a very loud commotion outside.Narcissa called everyone up.

Narcissa's voice sounded a little nervous, and she said, "Follow me out, don't get lost!" Except for Harry, who didn't know what happened, the other children were very calm and followed Narcissa out.Harry kept asking Draco what happened, but Draco said nothing.Narcissa held Pansy in her left hand and Draco in her right.Both Draco and Al knew where their dad was, so Draco only held Harry's hand.In the chaotic crowd, the children followed closely together, and those wearing Death Eater masks in the middle of the camp would not hurt them, because their parents were among them.

"Where's Al?"

Draco suddenly realized that his brother had disappeared at some point.Narcissa stopped abruptly. They were in the most chaotic crowd, and there were screaming wizards everywhere. If they didn't leave here as soon as possible, they might become the target of someone.Not everyone buys into the evidence, and with or without evidence, they're more than happy to teach these suspected Death Eater kids a lesson.

Al is smart, he'll be fine.They agreed on a safe area, and she knew that Al could find it by himself, and now she couldn't abandon these children and look for Al alone.

Where's Al?Now he's in a wood away from the chaos.

Unfortunately, he was dispersed by the crowd and the main force.There is no one here.He wasn't too nervous, at least the Death Eaters wouldn't attack him.

He stood under a tree, quietly waiting for this to end.

Suddenly Al saw a bush shake and a moment later a little elf appeared.Al once visited Barty Crouch's house.So he recognized it, it was the Crouch elf, Winky.

The little elf looked very awkward, obviously she was the only one, but his movements were very weird, dancing and dancing.Both arms desperately grabbed something in the air, as if pulling another life out of the grass, completely oblivious to Al hiding in the dark.

Al blinked, suddenly remembering something.

There was no need to hide himself anymore, Al walked over quickly.

"Winky!" he yelled.

The poor house-elf started with a start, and his big ears twitched.

"Malfoy...Mr. Malfoy." She swayed from side to side, still struggling with that invisible thing, and asked timidly.

"What are you holding on to?" Al asked pretending to be relaxed.

"Nothing, Winky just..."

Winky might also know that her words are not convincing at all.Terrified, she begged in a low voice. "Please pretend you haven't seen me, and don't ask me any more."

Al wasn't going to let her go.He walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shining's side.Unexpectedly, something was torn off by him, and a person appeared in the air.

There was nothing out of the ordinary about the man, well-dressed and clean.It's just that he's too skinny.It was as if I hadn't had a good meal in years.

This person looks almost exactly the same as Barty Crouch, but younger-he is Barty Crouch Jr. who was imprisoned for following the Dark Lord 13 years ago.

"What are you doing, sir?" The house-elf was terrified, her voice trembling, trying to snatch back the Invisibility Cloak still in Al's hand.

Al ignored him, he just stared at the man.

The man had no wand.His expression was very confused.He glared at Al as he tried to escape the hold of the house-elf.

"Voldemort is dead," Al said.

Barty Crouch Jr. was shocked.He seemed to have escaped from that chaotic state.He stared at Al, as if he was his enemy.

"That's impossible, the Dark Lord has..."

"Is it a Horcrux?"

"His horcruxes have been destroyed."

"His main soul is also dead. I saw with my own eyes that his main soul was killed and turned into pieces of fly ash."

In the previous 13 years, Barty Crouch Jr. had been controlled by his father with the Imperius Curse.He just got rid of the influence of this spell, and his sanity is not clear at all.

"You said the Dark Lord is completely dead?" he asked frantically.

"Stop talking, sir, don't talk anymore." Winky begged, it seemed that she wanted to take Barty Crouch Jr. away from here, but he stood firmly in place, without his cooperation, Winky didn't dare to use Apparation Shaped, afraid of letting little Crouch be separated.

"He's dead, and he'll never come back," Al said cruelly.

"Why don't you follow in his footsteps? You have followed the Dark Lord. If he dies, you should too.

Your mother also died for you. Your father used the Imperius Curse to control you for so many years. He didn't do it for you, but just to fulfill your mother's last wish. He kept you alive and treated you like a dog.

I think it is your best choice to die with the Dark Lord. "

Al came to a conclusion and threw something at Barty Crouch Jr.

It was a pocket knife, which Al used for self-defense.

Barty Crouch Jr. bent down to pick up the pocket knife.

Winky rushed over, trying to snatch the knife away.However, Al used a binding spell to keep Winky in place.Although the house-elf's magic is powerful, Winky is exhausted and Al easily controls him with his ring and wand.

At this time, someone shouted Al's name and rushed over from one side.

"What happened? Who is this? Are you okay?"

The visitor suddenly stood between Al and Barty Crouch Jr.It was George, who didn't know how to find Al.

"Don't worry about me. The guy doesn't even have a wand."

"Who is he? How did he..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a scream.

Then came the cry of the house-elf.

Barty Crouch Jr. literally plunged that knife into his own heart.

George covers Al's eyes.

Alton was a little dumbfounded.He pushed George's hand away, and used his wand to cast a forgetful on Winky, who was covering her face and crying.

The house-elf's tears were still on her face, and her expression had grown hollow.

"If Mr. Barty Crouch wants to release you. You can come to Malfoy Manor and find a job."

Al ignored the man who fell on the ground and said to Winky.

"What happened?" George asked.

We have to escape from the scene of the crime first, and then I will tell you slowly.Al replied, and quickly disappeared at the scene of the crime with George.

A few days later, the Daily Prophet carried the headlines that Barty Crouch Jr. had escaped from prison 13 years earlier and was found dead in the woods near the Quidditch Stadium on the day of the Quidditch World Cup. Cause of death was suicide.Mr Barty Crouch took the blame and resigned.

After school started, Hogwarts students got the news that the Goblet of Fire competition would be held this school year.The Goblet of Fire is very strict about the age of the students, and only wizards who have reached the age of 17 can participate in the competition.This time, Harry's name was not put in the Goblet of Fire.He supported Cedric Hufflepuff as much as anyone else.I enjoyed watching the Triwizard Tournament nervously but relaxedly.

"I think Mr. Crouch is quite pitiful." George sighed after listening to Al tell the whole story.

"I don't think he's pitiful." Al shook his head, "When his son went to prison, he just changed his son out for his wife's request, and he just changed it out. He just used his son to seize the soul so simply and roughly. The curse has been in control for 13 years, and I never thought about communicating with my son, never thinking about influencing him? Even if it doesn’t make sense, can’t I just let Crouch forget Voldemort? Just use the Imperius Curse to solve the problem, I don't think he loves his son at all."

"As for Barty Crouch Jr....he's just a lunatic, and it would be a relief for him to die as soon as possible." Al shrugged.

"Okay, so—who are you betting on?" George changed the subject.

"Of course it's Cedric! There's no second choice, right?" Al was surprised, "You won't bet on Krum, will you?"

George shook his head, but his face was quite unhappy.

"You don't think Cedric is handsome too, do you?"

Al burst out laughing.

"Of course you are not as handsome as you, the tender cow Wufang Twilight Man who is fascinated by the plateau red." ①
