After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Chapter 144: Barty Jr. is Voldemort’s son?

"Little Barty Crouch." Albus Dumbledore came to Narcissa first with a serious expression.

There were not only teachers and students from Hogwarts here, but also teachers and students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, as well as officials from the Ministry of Magic. For example, Barty Crouch, with a pale face.

As Albus Dumbledore spoke first, the students began to whisper.

"Who is this? The name sounds familiar."

"Barty Crouch Jr., son of Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation. I heard he was also involved in the case of... the Longbottoms."

The speaker lowered his voice and glanced in the direction of Gryffindor. He immediately saw the anger on Neville Longbottom's usually calm and honest face.

[Unlocked Barty Crouch Jr.] As the mechanical voice sounded, Narcissa glanced at everyone imperceptibly. It was obvious that Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Albus Dumbledore, and Severus Snape in this world all paused for a moment.

Harry Potter and the others had not heard it before, Dumbledore was sure of this. He exchanged glances with Narcissa and nodded.

Narcissa's magic circle not only suppressed but also bound. No one could reveal what happened today. This was inspired by Fushiguro Shier. It was unbreakable, and there was no one-way contract.

Barty Crouch Jr. was a boy who never received his father's love. He came from a prominent family and had excellent academic performance. His involvement with the Death Eaters led to his imprisonment and his father's career was hindered.

The Crouch family puts family interests first and has close ties with the Ministry of Magic. Barty Crouch, Barty Jr.'s father, is "a man who disregards everything for his official position."

Barty Jr. believes he has never received love from his biological father. As a member of the Death Eaters, he is extremely, crazy and fanatically loyal to Voldemort.

He tends to regard Voldemort as his true father, and Voldemort once secretly told Barty the Younger about his real name "Tom Riddle", his half-blood identity, and the experience of killing his father. Barty the Younger once said, "The Dark Lord and I have a lot in common. We both have extremely disappointing fathers. We both inherited our father's name with shame, and we both happily killed our fathers."

After taking Veritaserum, Barty Jr. declared that he would gain the Dark Lord's trust, making their relationship "closer than that of a son."]

Huh? Father? Little Barty has this hobby? Harry Potter and the others were alarmed when they discovered they could hear strange noises.

But when they found it difficult to even open their mouths, they gave up. They always felt that this sudden voice was related to Draco, so they listened with curiosity about Barty Crouch Jr.

Didn't I expect that Barty Crouch Jr. was actually the father of Voldemort? Ron Weasley, who hadn't listened carefully, was shocked for a hundred years.

Barty Jr. was calm, steady, cunning and cruel most of the time. Together with Wormtail, he defeated and captured Mad-Eye Moody alive. Under the attention of Dumbledore, Snape and others for a year, he perfectly hid and played the role of Mad-Eye Moody.

The fake Moody was Harry's most trusted Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Harry had suspected Lupin of Sirius's invasion, and in the Goblet of Fire, until the last moment when Barty Crouch, who pretended to be Moody, told the truth, Harry was shocked and thought it was a joke.

He was one of Harry's closest teachers at Hogwarts, possessing both authority and dependence. He mostly helped Harry out in the Goblet of Fire, and was very good at guiding Harry to identify and solve problems on his own. He was also the first person to point out Harry's future career goal of becoming an Auror.

Only when it comes to serving his master Voldemort does Barty Jr. reveal his impatient and extremely vicious side.

Barty Crouch Jr., like Bellatrix Lestrange, believed himself to be the most loyal and wanted to prove himself by taking credit for it to his master, believing that the other Death Eaters who betrayed Voldemort were weak, disloyal, and unforgivable.

Barty Jr. once sent out a dark magic mark at the Quidditch World Cup, intimidating former Death Eaters who used Voldemort's name to intimidate them. During his time at school, he tortured and retaliated against Snape, Malfoy and others who he believed had betrayed Voldemort.

Draco Malfoy was bewildered. What the hell? What did this have to do with him? He felt more and more that the Death Eaters had no future.

Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore didn't know why Draco knew so much, but they intuitively felt that this would change their future, so they decided to wait and see.

In order to find the whereabouts of Voldemort, he and several Death Eaters (Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange) used all means, including torturing the Longbottom couple with the Cruciatus Curse to get information, causing them to be permanently disabled. In the end, they were captured and sent to Azkaban for life imprisonment.

He was saved by his mother, who begged her husband to switch her with her son. As both she and her son were dying, they went to Azkaban and she was transformed into Barty the Younger through Polyjuice Potion, and Barty the Younger was transformed into her.

After being released from prison, Barty Sr. soon discovered that his son was still a fanatical supporter of Voldemort. He had to imprison his son at home with the Imperius Curse, put an invisibility cloak on him, and have him guarded by the house elf Winky.

Albus Dumbledore gave Barty Crouch a meaningful look.

Barty Crouch couldn't hear. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally lowered his head weakly.

Eventually, Barty the Younger broke free of the Imperius Curse. He was discovered by Bertha Jorkins of the Ministry. Bertha was later captured by Voldemort in Albania, and Voldemort learned that Barty the Younger had escaped Azkaban and remained devoted to the Dark Lord.

To this end, he devised a huge conspiracy for Harry Potter, who was still under Dumbledore's protection. As part of the plan, Barty Jr. used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Mad-Eye Moody and became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts that year.

It was in this capacity that Barty the Younger was able to enter and exit the Triwizard Tournament with ease, and he entered Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, making him the second Hogwarts champion and the fourth to compete in the tournament.

Barty Jr. helped Harry win and escape punishment as much as possible, and also taught him the skills to resist the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse.

Before killing his father, he knocked Krum unconscious; in the third event, he knocked Fleur unconscious and cast the Imperius Curse on Krum, allowing Krum to cast the Cruciatus Curse on Cedric, clearing the way for Harry to win the championship.

Finally, at the end of the maze, the Goblet of Fire, which had been replaced by Barty Jr. as a door key, led Harry and Cedric to Voldemort, resulting in Cedric's death and Voldemort's rebirth.

Cedric? Killed? Harry Potter and the others were stunned by the news.

No one could dislike Cedric, the sincere and kind Hufflepuff. Even Harry, who had a vague fondness for Cho Zhang before, couldn't dislike him.

Harry Potter felt inexplicably guilty. If it weren't for him...

A hand suddenly grasped his clenched fist. He looked up and saw Draco Malfoy, who had noticed his emotions.

Draco Malfoy whispered to him, "Nothing has happened yet. There's still time."

Harry Potter looked into those determined eyes and couldn't help but laugh, shaking Draco Malfoy's hand firmly back.

Yes, nothing has happened yet.

Draco Malfoy felt the familiar angry gaze at the Slytherin table. After realizing what he had done, he wanted to pull his hand back uncomfortably.

After trying several times but failing to get it back, he decided to just give up. His family wouldn't follow Voldemort anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for some Death Eater kids to see his deep friendship with the Savior.

thought Draco Malfoy, who still didn't know what his father had done.

Despite the success of the plan, Harry escaped from Voldemort and returned to Hogwarts. Barty Jr. took Harry to his office and attempted to kill him, but Dumbledore arrived in time and knocked him out, revealing his false identity as Moody.

Under the influence of the most powerful truth serum, Barty Jr. confessed the whole truth. Afterwards, Cornelius Fudge arrived, and the Dementors gave Barty Jr. a fatal kiss worse than death.
