Chapter 442: Crouch is missing [4/39]

Chapter 442

It was a time of tension recently, and he had been waiting for the moment when Voldemort conspired. Hearing what happened to Crouch, he immediately connected these things together. Crouch may have been controlled by Voldemort early.

In the first part of the Triwizard Tournament, the prosperous fire dragon that Harry faced may also be an operation arranged by Voldemort.

"Yes, that's the case."

As soon as George reminded him, Harry immediately reacted, and Crouch's performance at the time was indeed like the way he had just escaped.

"He treated a tree as Percy and kept admonishing Percy about the Triwizard Tournament. At the beginning, he said that it was normal work content. Later, when I asked him, he immediately Thinking of his purpose, he asked me to warn Dumbledore that the danger was approaching."

There was a pity expression on Harry's face, "But he quickly became delirious again. He began to talk about some details about his child, saying that he had passed the general wizarding test with good grades, and he was proud of him. "

"I used magic to give him a simple treatment, let Krum look after him, and then I ran to the principal's office to find Professor Dumbledore."

"The password in Professor Dumbledore's office has been changed, and I was there for a few minutes." There was a contemptuous expression on his face. "Because of the disgusting Snape, he tried to interfere with me. Fortunately, Dumbledore. Professor Lido appeared soon."

His tone became heavy again, "However, when Professor Dumbledore and I returned to the forest, Mr. Crouch had disappeared. Krum was attacked and knocked out. Crow Mr. Qi completely disappeared. Dumbledore used a detection magic, but he couldn't find anything."

George pondered it, and it seemed that Voldemort's men in the school had taken action and took Crouch away.

He asked, "Who else was in the forest at that time?"

"Bagman was probably still in the forest at the time. Then Krum and I met with Mr. Crouch, and then I went to Professor Dumbledore. Krum was attacked and it was not clear who else would be there in the middle of the attack. ."

"After Dumbledore arrived, Hagrid and Professor Moody showed up, and finally Dumbledore asked Hagrid to notify Karkaroff."

Harry counted the people who might still be in the forest one by one.

"After Karkaroff came, he looked very irritable. He said that Dumbledore had tricked them into playing with a conspiracy. He said that Dumbledore had no good intentions. But this annoyed Hagrid and Hagrid lifted him. When he got up, he didn't dare to speak."

"Then Dumbledore asked Hagrid to send me back to the dorm."

Harry finished thinking about yesterday.

George pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "There are too few clues. We only know that Crouch has disappeared. It is likely that he has fallen into Voldemort's hands or even died. Voldemort is in the Triwizard Tournament. There is a conspiracy laid out on it, which we knew from the beginning."

"I think the Ministry of Magic should have been investigating Crouch's disappearance. For the time being, I can only wait and see what happened." George said calmly, and then he thought about it a little more. He turned his gaze to Harry and asked. "Did you use the spot map at the time?"

"I didn't dare to use the spot map in front of Dumbledore, but when I returned to the dormitory, I checked the spot map immediately. There was no Batty Crouch's name on it. He was probably taken away."

Harry said calmly, he hadn't forgotten this detail at the time, he used the spot map as soon as he returned to the dormitory.

The live map can see the invisible person, without Batty Crouch's name on it, which proves that he didn't hide or chose to be invisible. He really left the school.

"It might be dead." George added another possibility in a cold tone.

This might make Harry, Hermione, and Ron stunned. A chill came up from the soles of their feet, causing them to shiver.

Except for escaping from school, the dead will not appear on the map of the living spot.

"Maybe he was just taken away and transported away with a flying broom." Hermione said in a guilty tone.

Even if she doesn't like Mr. Crouch, she hates his attitude towards house elves even more. But when he thought of a person he knew, he died in school so lightly. This terrible truth made her unacceptable, and she couldn't help looking for excuses and excuses.

"Percy will cry when he knows this. Mr. Crouch is simply his ideal idol." Ron said gravely.

Although Mr. Crouch was unlovable, with Percy's constant mentioning and constant indoctrination, Ron also had to know a lot of Crouch's information. He is a powerful wizard, a powerful Ministry of Magic official He knows more than two hundred languages ​​and works meticulously. He is still what Percy dreams of becoming.

Such a high official in the magic world, a powerful wizard, silently disappeared from the school, disappeared under the conspiracy of Voldemort. Everyone couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while, and fell silent.

After a while, George broke the silence and spoke.

"The Ministry of Magic will continue to investigate this matter. In the next time, although there will be no more rigorous training. But maintaining your state is still something that must be done. Harry still needs to consider the next game. Crouch We can only watch the changes."

He said calmly, "This is the end of the matter, and more troubles are meaningless. No matter what conspiracy Voldemort has, he will eventually show it. Before that, all that is needed is to be prepared and do your own things."

Harry and they exchanged glances, and now, the only thing they can do is to be themselves. I only hope that Mr. Crouch has not encountered an accident, and what they can do is to respond to the challenge from Voldemort in the best possible state.

In the evening, Harry was still worried about the day. All signs are on the surface, Voldemort is really resurrected. This time Voldemort was different. He has recovered his true strength, and may even become even stronger.

George's messenger and ghost in England failed to detect Voldemort. And Voldemort had taken and even killed a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, a powerful wizard under their noses.

Voldemort is also planning more conspiracies, maybe just a month later, during the Triwizard Tournament. Everything will change, peace and tranquility will be completely gone, turbulence and fear will follow.

Thinking of this made Harry feel heavy.
