This Hogwarts is not normal

Barty Jr.'s mother knew that she didn't have much time left, so she used Polyjuice Potion to exchange her identity when she visited her son in Azkaban.

She was the one who died in Azkaban, while Bartlett Jr. was hidden at home by Bartlett Sr., who had been under the Imperius Curse for the past 13 years and wore an invisibility cloak from morning till night.

Winky, the Crouch family's house-elf, was responsible for guarding him, but no matter how perfect old Barty's actions were, he was still discovered.

The person was Bertha Jorkins. She brought the documents to her boss, Buddy Sr., for his signature, but Buddy Sr. happened to be away from home.

She heard the conversation between Barty Jr. and Winky and came over to check, and guessed that it was Barty Jr. under the invisibility cloak.

When Barty Sr. returns home, Jorkins confronts him and he casts a very powerful Oblivion Charm on her.

The spell was so powerful that it caused permanent damage to Jorkins' memory.

Maybe old Barty did it for his wife's promise, or for his future in the Ministry of Magic, or maybe for his son, but no matter what the reason, he did hurt an innocent person.

The following story begins during last summer vacation.

Ludo Bagman, a gambler known to everyone in the British wizarding world, plans to make a fortune from the Quidditch World Cup.

He is the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, with full responsibility for the global broadcasting of the World Cup.

In order to prevent Jorkins from messing things up, he granted her a long vacation, which eventually led to Jorkins being found by Voldemort while visiting relatives in Albania, and learning that Barty Jr. was not dead.

Voldemort took up residence in the corpse of an aborted Muggle baby and returned to England with Jorkins to rescue young Barty, who was imprisoned in his home by old Barty.

"I hated my father, I hated him, but I didn't kill him, I did the same thing as he did."

Moody and Scrimgeour were able to remain calm, but Fudge was a little uneasy.

"I took my father's face, and after infiltrating the Ministry of Magic I learned that Wormtail was about to be executed..."

Voldemort has not yet recovered his strength, so Peter Pettigrew is still of great use to the plan.

"We rescued Wormtail." Barty's lifeless eyes suddenly flashed with a moment of ecstasy. "The stupid high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic actually decided to find a scapegoat from Azkaban. This really helped us a lot."

Peter Pettigrew is as courageous as his Animagus, and Rookwood's joining brings a new twist to the plan.

Barty Jr.'s plan is to sneak into Hogwarts, help Harry win the Triwizard Cup, and allow the restored Voldemort to end the prophecy himself.

But when they were taking Bagman away, Vincent discovered them, and the disfigured Rookwood vowed to kill him himself.

So the ultimate target of the plan was changed from Harry to Dumbledore and Vincent.

The plan was perfect, but accidents still happened.

The killing at the Goblin Hall was meant to avoid accidental exposure, but because the filming of "The Gryffindor Saga" required cooperation with the goblins, Rookwood, who was disguised as Bagman, was exposed.

"August decided to sacrifice himself. He had only one request, which was to kill Wayne the Mudblood."

Little Barty looked up at Fudge, "If it weren't for you, I would have avenged August!"

"Wow..." Moody laughed contemptuously, "Vincent will not show mercy like Albus. Your ending will only be more miserable than it is now."

Moody had witnessed Vincent use pure magical energy to open a huge hole in Rookwood's chest without hesitation. If it were Dumbledore, he would only choose to knock him out instead of disabling him.

Barty seemed to want to refute, but under the effect of the truth serum, his eyes quickly returned to dullness. "The live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament provides us with a lot of convenience. We have brought discredit to the Ministry of Magic. When the great Dark Lord returns, he will conquer the world again, starting from Britain."

Moody put away the smile on his face and said, "Unfortunately, you failed in the end."

"Yes, I didn't expect Dumbledore to be able to endure the pain that ordinary people could not bear to fight against Voldemort."

Fudge couldn't help but frown at being called Voldemort's name again and again. "Barty Crouch Jr., why do you call the You-Know-Who by his name? Don't all you Death Eaters call him Master?"

A flash of piety flashed across Little Batty's face, "Because this is my supreme honor. I know everything about him, I worship him, and I am different from those who fear him."

Voldemort's relationship with him was definitely unusual, but now was not the time to explore that.

The story of escaping Azkaban was bizarre enough without any need to mention Voldemort.

Moody asked Barty Jr. about some details, such as how he tampered with the Goblet of Fire and how he cursed the dragons.

However, Fudge's mind was no longer here. He decided to turn Voldemort's return into the Death Eaters' final fantasy.

Moody's interrogation continued into the evening, until the effects of two bottles of Veritaserum wore off.

Scrimgeour also sent someone to the Crouch family midway. Old Barty, who had been imprisoned for nearly a year, was in a much worse condition than Bagman. His body was also as shriveled as a skeleton, and his mental state was even worse.

As for the Crouch family's house-elf Winky, he is still alive, but because his wounds were not treated in time, his entire body has been corroded by dark magic. Even if he recovers in the future, he may not be able to move freely.

Jorkins, Bagman, Old Barty, Karkaroff, Winky, the Goblin Guild, they were all victims of Voldemort's return.

After finishing the interrogation, Moody originally wanted to interrogate Peter Pettigrew next door, but was stopped by Fudge.

"Alastor, thank you very much for your help. Let's stop here for today. We will handle the rest."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Moody could roughly guess what Fudge was going to do. He put on a sour face and said, "Cornelly, I hope you can take care of yourself. No one can control everything."

The carefully planned plan by Barty Jr. and others encountered unexpected problems, so how could Fudge be able to go smoothly?

After seeing Moody off, Fudge asked Scrimgeour to keep a close eye on the two Death Eaters, and then went alone to the 7th floor underground where the Department of Magical News was located.

Even without old Batty Jr., the entire department can still function normally.

Fudge gave a direct task to Gary, the newspaper editor, asking him to polish the story of little Barty and publish it as quickly as possible.

The bizarre events and the completely different attitudes of the father and the mother can indeed attract the attention of the outside world.

Gary knows very well what the wizards' focus is. When they lose interest in Barty Jr.'s story, whether Voldemort will return will become the focus again.

"Mr. Minister, with all due respect, blindly diverting attention will only lead to a vicious cycle."

Fudge saw his dissatisfaction and said, "Young man, you just need to do as I ask. All this is just the last fantasy of the Death Eaters."

Gary's eyes widened. "Mr. Minister, will this—"

"Of course not." Fudge patted his shoulder heavily. "Do a good job, young man. I have confidence in you."

To blame everything on the Death Eaters' final fantasy is to deny Voldemort's return.

So how do we explain the live showdown between Dumbledore and Voldemort? Should we characterize it as a carefully fabricated showdown by some dangerous elements, such as the Death Eaters, who are trying to divide the British wizarding community, as the newspapers said today?
