All requests are met inside the house.

Only William and Hermione.

Although it was already late at night, the two of them had no intention of leaving.

Barty Crouch's death seemed like a dark cloud was covering the hearts of both of them.

Hermione sat next to William with her forehead in her hands, her eyes looking at her knees.

"Can it be that Death Eater do it?" she said.

There is no problem with this speculation.

During the summer vacation, William and Hermione inferred through various details that Crouch imprisoned a Death Eater.

The Death Eater escaped. On the night of the finals, he kidnapped many young wizards, threatened the Ministry of Magic, and released the detained Death Eater.

If William hadn't made the Quidditch venue map a long time ago and successfully locked the hostage position... the Death Eaters would probably have been released from Azkaban.

Crouch went to find Ludo, but now he became like this, and he was probably attacked.

Then, he came to Dumbledore to confess, but the other party wanted to silence him.

But the question is...who is that Death Eater?

Even Dumbledore, the Death Eater who has been missing for many years, cannot match the number.

"Let's just re-examine the whole thing again." Hermione suggested.

William nodded, took out his wand, and whisked the meditation basin on the table.

This is a Christmas gift from Dumbledore, but it didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The meditation basin was rotating, and the silver substance became transparent. The two reached out and gently touched the memories, and disappeared into the air.

This is a dark room, dark like a deep hole, like a still picture.

But soon there was a change, and a green light shot in from outside.

——That is an Avadassauer!

The green light pierces the darkness and illuminates the room slightly. You can see that there are many little wizards densely packed in the room.

They were all tied up with ropes.

But William and Hermione both turned their heads and refused to watch the scene.

Because in the range illuminated by the light, it can be clearly seen that Harry was sticking out his tongue to lick Malfoy's face.

Then, he went to lick Ron's freckled face again.

Odder area!

When William saw this scene for the first time, he almost vomited, and now he still has a psychological shadow.

It turns out that Harry liked Qiu was fake, just to cover up his pervertedness.

No wonder William was so embarrassed when he asked Harry for this memory, he just didn't want to give it to him.

It's really...a beast.

William was wondering whether to take a photo and show this memory to Malfoy and Ron.

That's right, this memory comes from Harry, the memory of the night he was kidnapped in the Quidditch World Cup final.

William was fighting outside at that time and didn't know what was going on inside the house.

He also asked Krum and several victims to ask for memories.

William originally thought Crum would refuse, but he did not expect that he was unexpectedly enthusiastic and easy to talk.

Soon, a ball of flames threw into the room. This was the Death Eater who was about to kill and silence him before he ran away.

But this flame completely illuminated the entire room.

"No Crouch." Hermione narrowed her eyes and said confidently.

William frowned and murmured, "It's true that there is no him."

This is very strange.

When William locked the hostage position, he cast the tracking spell on the map... not only saw the names of Harry, Ron, Malfoy, Crum, but also Barty Crouch.

At that time, when William rushed into the house, he was busy putting out the fire and saving people, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Afterwards, William thought he was running away while he was not seeing Crouch.

After all, a senior official from the Ministry of Magic was kidnapped by the Death Eater, and it was too embarrassing to tell him.

Now that I watch it, William realized that he was a little taken for granted.

Before he rushed into the house, Crouch stopped here! He did not leave in the chaos!

William thought for a moment and said confidently: "The map will not go wrong."

"There are only two possibilities." Hermione said softly, tilting her fair neck:

"Crouch ran away earlier, or..."

"He is the kidnapper!"

Crouch was the kidnapper, so William did not see him in the room, but saw his name on the map.

William looked at Hermione, shook his head, and said negatively: "The former guess is okay, but the second... has no motivation.

Who is Crouch? Why did he let the Death Eaters go?"

This is as unreliable as Harry suddenly surrendered to Voldemort one day.

This is a deep hatred and is destined to oppose each other.

Hermione wrinkled her nose, and she felt that this speculation was untenable.

Soon, the scene was changed and several more memories were added.

These memories were obtained by William from the principal.

From the trial of Crouch's son to Crouch's wife, he beat Crouch in public, cried heartbrokenly, and let him let his son go; and later, the scene where the two went to Azkaban for the last time.

The two of them watched it three times before William rubbed his eyebrows, passed it in his mind, then looked up and said:

"Hermione, did you find a place that is strange?"

"You mean Crouch's wife?" Hermione knew keenly.

"That's right." William whispered: "On the day of the trial, she cried and asked Crouch to let his son go in front of so many officials.

This shows that she loves her son very much.

But in Azkaban…”

William paused and continued: "The warden said that her son might not last long. Only when Crouch donated money would he help find a therapist at St. Mungo Magic Hospital."

"Even...maybe he got his son out..."

"But her wife was indifferent." Hermione continued: "Especially after Crouch refused, she didn't say anything... It was so strange."

"Yes, it's strange. It doesn't fit the performance of loving your son, right?"

How could a normal mother not react at all when she hears that her son may not last long and her husband refuses to pay for money?

Especially this mother, who once beat her husband in front of all the officials and let him let her son go!

This is too inconsistent with the character!

"Unless, she already has other ways to save her son." Hermione murmured.

"But her son died a month later, and she herself died of excessive sadness..." She was a little confused.

At this time, the picture of the meditation pot memory has reached the end:

Crouch and his wife walked out of prison. Crouch held his wife stiffly with a stern face.

His wife seemed to be frightened by her son and walked very fast.

Hermione stared at the scene, as if she realized something, and she suddenly said:

"William, have you noticed that Mrs. Crouch was obviously very sad before coming in.

But when he left, he didn't seem to be reluctant at all. He left without even looking back."

William nodded slightly. It really doesn't look normal here.

All the abnormalities of Crouch's wife; Crouch's abnormalities; the abnormalities of the kidnapping scene... All the scenes quickly echoed in the minds of the two.

William and Hermione suddenly looked at each other and shouted, "Barty Crouch is not dead!"

"Yes, this will explain it!" Hermione said in a hurry:

“Mrs. Crouch replaced his son, so when Crouch refused to donate, his wife didn’t react much.

Crouch saved the Death Eater's son, but imprisoned him.

The name I saw on the map is also the son of Crouch, Barty Crouch Jr.
To be continued...
