Harry Potter's Bastard

Today, Deves and Bans were in the store, and Solim and the two of them were also acquaintances, so they could easily borrow a room. Although this is a forbidden place for ordinary customers, for the sake of Solim being a big customer, it was agreed to give Solim the reception room in the store.

Half of it is said to be a reception room, but half of it is actually used as a warehouse. Looking at the three dusty and smashed, paint-peeling chairs, Solim was speechless.

Fortunately, none of this is a problem for wizards, all they want now is a place where they won't be disturbed. Solim didn't touch the three chairs, and Sirius conjured four chairs and sat down first.

"Sirius, what the hell are you going to talk to me about?" Harry asked as soon as he sat down.

"That's right...... Last time I wasn't ......"

"Wait a minute!" Solim shook his head, pulling out his wand and waving it above his head, "Since you don't think it's convenient to discuss these things in public, can you follow through on this idea?

Blake was too arrogant, and since he thought that what he was going to say next was not suitable for others to hear, but he did not take any precautions, this kind of operation made Solim suffocate for a while. He didn't think Blake wouldn't even have a simple anti-eavesdropping spell.

"Alright, let's talk about it. Solim plugged his wand back in and sat down.

"Remember the last time I told you about Karkaroff?" Sirius asked.

"Of course, you said he turned out to be a Death Eater. "Not only Sirius, but Harry also knew a lot about Karkaroff from Dumbledore, and what he saw in the meditation basin last time gave Harry a great shock.

"Lately the Death Eaters have been active. Sirius told a piece of information that shocked Harry and Hermione.

"What did they do?"

"We doubt...... Forget it, look at this, today's Daily Prophet. Sirius pulled out a newspaper and handed it to Harry.

"Barty Crouch?" Harry looked up at his godfather.

"Look down. Sirius pointed to the newspaper with a finger.

Harry skimmed through the article on Crouch. He was reminded of a few words that he hadn't seen since November...... The home appears to be unoccupied...... St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries declined to comment...... The Ministry of Magic refused to confirm rumors that he was terminally ill......

"November?" Hermione and Harry had also gathered to read the paper, noticing that the time in the paper was a little unusual, "but he showed up before the first event of the Triwizard Tournament." "

November 24 was the start of the first event, and although Crouch did not appear at the game, he had been seen at Hogwarts before. It is also said that Crouch did not show up during the game because he had to lead the personnel of the Ministry of Magic to deal with the murder of the two warriors of Durmstrang.

"It's not just Crouch, and then look down. Sirius shook his head.

"Bertha Joggins, the witch of the athletic division, disappeared on vacation?" Hermione frowned, "How do I think I've seen this name somewhere?"

"If you read the Daily Prophet over the summer, you should have seen it from there. Sirius said, "Her disappearance was first reported in the Daily Prophet. "

"yes, that's it, she disappeared during the summer vacation and hasn't been found yet?" Hermione suddenly realized as if these things were connected.

"That's right, not even a single hair was found. Sirius nodded, "Something bad is happening outside of Hogwarts right now, something ...... Things are going in the direction we least want them to, and Hogwarts isn't safe anymore. There are already some signs that some conspiracy is brewing here. "

"Did Dumbledore tell you?" Solim snapped, "Whether it's a hint or something, did Dumbledore tell you something?"

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then looked at Harry and hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "That's right, Lupin and I are helping Dumbledore do something right now. "

"Are you looking for Jorkins and Crouch?" asked Solim again.

Sirius raised an eyebrow, "Dumbledore told you?"

"No, I guessed. "

"Wait a minute. Hermione said, "I remember Percy saying that he now represented Crouch with full powers, at least that's what he did in the Triwizard Tournament. He said he would often be instructed by Crouch. "

"We've known this for a long time. Sirius sighed, "But here's the point—we can't find him right now. Shortly after the end of the first project, he did not return to the Ministry of Magic. "

"You mean...... Those instructions that Percy received...... Not Mr. Crouch's?" Hermione's eyes widened.

"Well, that's not what you should be focusing on right now. Sirius paused the conversation, "I'm going to say: there are undercurrents in Hogwarts right now, so be careful, especially if you're - Harry. "

Harry was not surprised by his godfather's words, whether it was the signs of this term, or the last conversation Dumbledore had with him, that something big was going to happen recently. Harry was no stranger to such things, and could not even be said to be familiar with them, from the first year to the present, every time something was going to happen, there were always signs that appeared, although Harry could not accurately grasp these clues or connect these clues, but his feelings would tell him that something was going to happen.

"You don't seem surprised?" Sirius noticed his godson's expression.

"What's so surprising about him?" Solim crossed his arms and crossed his legs, "It's the fourth year, what year won't something happen?if his sense of smell is still so dull now......" Solim shook his head, "...... Then he really lived in vain. "

Harry looked at Solim and scratched his hair, "Dumbledore told me something last time...... I mean, Dumbledore taught me something through the meditation basin. "

Harry had told him what he had seen in Dumbledore's memory last time, and it was the first time he had spoken to anyone else, and it was the first time Hermione had heard Harry talk about it.

"Oh my God!" Hermione covered her mouth, "you mean...... Dumbledore said...... Mr. Crouch got his Death Eater son out of Azkaban?"

"It can't be!" Sirius slammed to his feet, "Dumbledore never told me about it, and I don't think Lupin knew either. And, when I was in Azkaban, I saw them carry out Barty Jr.'s body. How could he still be alive?"
