Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

"First, let me express my apology to you, classmate Malfoy. I hope you can accept it." This is a well-dressed middle-aged man in a black suit. His back is straight and his movements are a little stiff. The beard is also very neatly shaved, as if trimmed with a slide rule.

The man was standing beside a thin-legged table full of silverware, bowed slightly, and spoke politely to Malfoy, who was also standing beside him.

This is Dumbledore's office. Many silverware are placed randomly, and they are breathing smoke. The portraits on the walls seem to be asleep, snoring evenly, without interrupting, on the gilded perch behind the door. , Dumbledore's pet - Phoenix Fox is standing on it, staring at everything in the house, it is not yet the time to be reborn, in this life cycle, Fox is still in his prime, full of energy and feathers It's also very shiny and smooth, and the colors are amazing red and gold. And Dumbledore himself, sitting at his desk with his long silver beard on the table, looked at a comic book drawn by Muggles with relish, showing a knowing smile from time to time.

"The Ministry of Magic has been so chaotic these days for a number of reasons, so your accolades have not had time until now," the man continued. "This time we have applied for the Merlin Order of Merlin 3rd Class Medal for your outstanding contribution to the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding society, so that the Ministry of Magic will not continue to be shamed, and maintain the stability of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. "

At this time, the man stretched out his large palm, ready to shake hands as a gesture of friendship. He said kindly, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Barty Crouch, and I am currently the Minister of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation.", Then Barty Crouch turned his hand and pointed at a middle-aged woman beside him, ready to begin the introduction. The woman was short in stature, dressed in a pink coat, and looked like a large pale toad with a long She had a broad, flabby face, a large mouth drooping down, and her eyes were large, round and slightly bulging outwards.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy, this is Dolores Umbridge, the current Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, and your father and I are colleagues, and I am temporarily acting for Mr. Cornelius Fudge with Mr. Bartty Crouch. Ministerial." Umbridge answered in a deliberate, high-pitched voice before Barty Crouch could finish, and gave Malfoy a self-kind smile.

Although this smile makes people feel eerie no matter how you look at it.

Her domineering and arrogance are aimed at objects she can ravage at will. The boy in front of her is obviously not among them. His father Lucius is now a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, and Malfoy himself is currently in the newspapers. An excellent boy who is vigorously promoting.

What's more, she can go a step further and become the acting minister, and it has something to do with the support of the boy's family, so in any case, she will not offend the boy now.

"Actually, I think you can get a second-level medal. I heard that you just successfully exposed a werewolf hidden in Hogwarts? I am more and more unconvinced that this school is the so-called safest place in the UK. Now, fugitives, traitors, werewolves, everything gets in there." Umbridge began to complain after a brief gratification, like a broken faucet that couldn't stop.

"Cough." Dumbledore put down the comic strip in his hand, coughed lightly twice, and cast his sharp eyes on Umbridge intentionally or unintentionally. After Umbridge and Dumbledore looked at each other, the woman felt that she was behind As soon as it was cold, he was silent and did not dare to spit out a word.

"To treat a fugitive, this is just what a normal student would do. It's just that I might have had better luck before I succeeded. As for the werewolf question just mentioned, you can ask Professor Dumbledore well later, at least Lupin is still a teacher in my eyes." Malfoy ignored Umbridge's slightly flattering ingratitude.

He pushed back directly, and said to Crouch modestly at the same time, and his eyes kept swept across Barty Crouch's face.

"Lucius has a good son." Barty Crouch suddenly appreciated such a sentence, and his expression suddenly became a little lonely, but it was only for a moment, and soon he adjusted back to his business-like expression.

"It's also a poor man." Malfoy looked at Barty Crouch, caught the fleeting loneliness on his face, and sighed inwardly.

A workaholic father, coupled with a psychologically twisted son, a mother who madly spoils his son, constitutes an extremely deformed family relationship.

Everyone should pay for their own mistakes. Barty Crouch may have maintained his justice for the first half of his life, but in the end, it was destroyed by his son, and he sacrificed his wife for his son. It is impossible to agree.

Even then his wife was so weak that she could die at any time, even if his wife voluntarily.

But none of this can be a reason for his favoritism.

He also got his own retribution. The son he tried so hard to protect finally committed the evil deed of killing his father himself. How sad is this ending?

"Malfoy classmate?" Barty Crouch said tentatively, because he noticed that Malfoy was a little distracted.

"Oh, sorry, I'm a little excited, and I'm a little distracted." Malfoy then calmed down, shook his head gently, and let himself enter the state as soon as possible, leaving a good impression in front of this man. very necessary thing.

"Headmaster Dumbledore?" Barty Crouch called out Dumbledore tentatively, and Dumbledore responded immediately.

"What's the matter, Mr. Crouch?" said Dumbledore, holding up his half-moon lens.

"I think an outstanding young man like Malfoy should not only be rewarded by our Ministry of Magic, but Hogwarts should not ignore his contribution, even if I don't work at Hogwarts, I also think so. '" Crouch said.

"Of course, I will give him a special contribution award at the end of the semester." Dumbledore nodded slightly, and then said with a smile, "Excellent students deserve the rewards he deserves."

Dumbledore said, looking at Malfoy beside him with a smile, the fingertips of both hands facing each other.

"Very well, then I think we can discuss the awarding process now..." Barty Crouch's style has always been like this, resolute.
