Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 90 You want to recruit new Death Eaters! (Seventh update)
The person who reacted most strongly to Severus's statement was naturally Graybuck.

The werewolf practically roared as he spoke.

"You clearly sided with the Aurors! This afternoon you even brought two men to us! You wanted to wipe me and all my men out in one fell swoop!"

"and then?"

Severus simply raised an eyebrow.

His nonchalant reaction left Graybuck speechless for a moment; he was too angry to say anything more.

Barty Jr. still stared coldly at Severus.

"And this is how you behave? Even if Fenrir is despicable, he's still working for the Dark Lord. By attacking him like this, aren't you betraying the Dark Lord?"

"Working for the Dark Lord?"

Severus merely scoffed.

"I think he's doing this for you, isn't he? What right does a scavenger like him have to represent the Dark Lord? He even used the Dark Mark in Eastbourne in a high-profile manner, kidnapping so many wizards' children under the guise of Death Eaters. Is all of this the Dark Lord's doing?"

Barty the Younger simply raised his voice, tilting his head back as if to look down on Severus.

"Stop playing word games, Snape! We've come together to find our missing master! But your actions are clearly sabotaging our plans!"

Severus, however, was not afraid of him at all and retorted sharply.

"On the contrary! Your actions are clearly sabotaging the Dark Lord's return! After that night, he disappeared to find a safe place to recuperate and lie low. What you are doing now is the greatest betrayal of him!"

Hearing him turn around and bite back, Little Barty's eyes turned fierce!

The dark wizards standing around him had shifty eyes; they were misled by the two men's words and didn't really know who was right and who was wrong.

The reason Barty managed to gather these people was that he claimed to have discovered clues about Voldemort's disappearance.

But now, listening to Severus's words, it seems as if he knows Voldemort's situation better and is preparing something!

"You sided with Dumbledore, and publicly confessed your past in front of all the wizards in Britain at the Ministry of Magic. Is this what loyalty is?!"

"Instead of lying low with the Dark Lord now and waiting for him to preserve his strength so that he can return as king, are we going to end up like you, attracting too much attention and wasting all the strength we've accumulated?"

"You're trying to make amends for your betrayal!"

"Hmph! You're trying to start your own faction and create new Death Eaters!"

When Severus slapped such a big label on him, Barty's pupils dilated instantly, and his crowd of followers were also startled and quickly put some distance between them.

Barty was clearly furious at Severus's words!

He suddenly pointed his wand at Severus and roared in a hoarse voice.

"How dare you question my loyalty to my master!"

"You dare to kill your own father, who knows if your loyalty to your master is the same as your fatherly love?"

The happiest person present at this moment—no, it should be called a ghost—was none other than Snape the Ghost.

Ever since he became a ghost, he'd almost become numb to Severus's constant barrage of insults. Now, he finally saw someone else get thoroughly humiliated by Severus's all-out attack.

Finally, someone could understand how he felt! Barty was now so enraged that he was almost out of his mind. The tip of his wand glowed green, and just as Severus raised his wand, ready to exchange blows with Barty.

Suddenly a shout rang out from outside the window!

The voice calmed Barty down almost instantly, and he stared intently at Severus.

"You're stalling for time! Let the Aurors surround us!"

The group of dark wizards around him, who had been provoked by Severus's words and were originally prepared to stand by and watch, now reacted. They all nervously raised their wands and aimed them at Severus!

Severus looked into Barty's eyes and sneered.

"It seems you've planted a spy among the Aurors through your father's connections."

"Snape! No matter how eloquently you argue, your master will eventually find out what you've done! When he truly returns, he will deliver a fair judgment on who betrayed whom!"

Barty left Severus with his last words, and then without hesitation, he used Apparition to disappear from the spot!

His companions also left without lingering, using Apparition to depart together.

After they all disappeared, the sound of flying brooms outside the window and a series of chaotic and dense footsteps sounded downstairs.

Countless Aurors stormed into Crouch's old mansion. Scrimgeour, Robbazz, and Kingsley, all with dark faces, went up to the second floor.

"Immediately trace the location of the Phantom's landing! Robaz, you lead the team to pursue it!"

Scrimgeour coldly ordered his men.

Severus didn't give these Aurors, who were barely even warmed up by the time they started cleaning the floor, a friendly look.

“I had Kingsley remind you that you can’t completely trust all the Aurors in your office.”

This time, Scrimgeour lacked the toughness and suspicion he had shown when facing Severus. He took a deep breath, lowered his head, and apologized.

"This is indeed our problem. We kept all the suspects in the department, but we didn't expect that there was someone under the control of the Imperius Curse among the people who came."

Upon returning from Azkaban with Kingsley, Severus immediately sensed something was amiss as soon as they approached Crouch's old house.

He discovered that Barty Jr. seemed completely unaffected by the Imperius Curse. Instead, he had gathered everyone he could, obtained the wand, and was going to attack Barty Sr. that very night!

Upon realizing this, Severus did not hesitate for a moment and immediately sent Kingsley back to the Ministry of Magic to call for reinforcements.

All the other scraps are fine, but Barty, who is also a genius graduate of Hogwarts, is not easy to catch.

If he is still under the influence of the Imperius Curse, Severus and Kingsley can solve the problem by subduing Barty the Elder.

Defeating Little Barty isn't difficult now, but capturing or killing him is not an easy task.

Therefore, Severus could only place his hopes on the Aurors, while he stalled for time until a large number of Aurors arrived. Once he could set up anti-Apparition spells around the area, the situation would be basically secure.

The result is now obvious.

The Ministry of Magic will never disappoint you, except in the one thing: disappointing you.

When Severus was wanted, apart from Kingsley, the rest of the group of pigs couldn't catch him. Now that Severus needs their help, they are still a bunch of pigs and can't be of any help at all!
