Starting Over at Hogwarts

"what are you saying?"

Old Barty Crouch held his palm and frowned tightly, as if he didn't quite understand what Snape meant: "After Barty escaped in front of me, I went to the basement and saw you alone. …”

"..."

Snape was shocked and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

After all, before he was brought here, he once had an entanglement with Peter Pettigrew. As a result, he was subdued by Peter Pettigrew and has been in a state of confusion. It is best not to let too many people know about this.

This matter can be known to Dumbledore, but it is best not to be known to others, so as not to cause any trouble, especially people like Old Barty Crouch...

This man is also a lunatic...

Just like his son, he is also a mad dog that bites anyone he targets. When Barty Crouch Sr. saw a Death Eater, he would suddenly pounce on him and bite him!

"Okay, let's stop here..."

Snape took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will go see Dumbledore now and tell him all the facts..."

never mind.

He knew enough anyway.

As long as he knows enough information from Barty Crouch Sr., the most important thing is the death of the two Dark Lords, Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort. This is the most shocking!

In this case…

At least Lily doesn't have to worry about Peter Pettigrew suddenly appearing and killing Harry in the name of destroying Voldemort's Horcrux; nor does she have to worry about Voldemort seeking revenge on Harry...

"Then, I'll leave first."

Just as Snape stood up and wanted to leave, there was a sudden knock on the door, making everyone present look ugly instantly!

Even the house elf Sparkle was frightened!

In the middle of the night…

Who is going to knock on the door of this house!

Especially this house is extremely lively tonight!

After Old Barty Crouch's heart skipped a beat, he remembered Wesson's instructions and said in a deep voice: "Maybe something happened at the Ministry of Magic. I'll go take a look..."

According to Wesson's instructions before leaving, Dumbledore should go to the Ministry of Magic now. At that time, people from the Ministry of Magic will come to him and ask him to see Dumbledore...

However, what Barty Crouch Sr. never expected was that when Winky opened the door, a gray-bearded Dumbledore walked in wearing a wizard hat, with even a hint of apology on his face: "Sorry, Barty." Tee, I overheard that..."

Except for the trace of apology on his face...

There was almost no dignity or seriousness in Dumbledore's expression, as if he didn't care at all about the secrets coming out of Barty Crouch Sr.'s mouth...

In fact.

Dumbledore really only paid attention to the two Dark Lords, Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew. Barty Crouch Sr. concealed the fact that his son was still alive, which was not a big problem to Dumbledore at all!

Old Barty Crouch's expression became a little serious. His palms were twirling back and forth rapidly, as if he was a little entangled. Dumbledore overheard their conversation.

"do not be afraid."

Dumbledore spoke gently to comfort Old Barty Crouch, and continued softly: "Barty, I heard it all. Each of us will make mistakes, and small mistakes that are insignificant are no longer harmful to us old people. Already…”

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore took another deep look at Snape, and his eyes gradually became a little serious: "Professor Severus Snape, now you have completed my 'explanation' As for you, you can go back and rest first..."

Compared to Barty Crouch Sr.’s frankness…

Dumbledore was even more suspicious of Snape's role tonight, because Snape was full of lies tonight. He never arranged for Snape to do anything tonight, but Snape did it. The name is here!

"yes."

Snape nodded slowly.

Just when Snape was about to leave, he seemed to think about it for a moment, then suddenly turned around and continued: "Dumbledore, regarding some details of tonight, I think we can have a good chat tomorrow..."

"certainly."

Dumbledore's attitude softened again.

As long as Snape is willing to tell everything honestly, just like back then, Dumbledore doesn't mind what Snape has done...

Anyway…

Tonight's results are all good.

After Dumbledore saw Snape leaving, he reached out his hand and slowly comforted Barty Crouch Sr. to sit down, and chatted casually about home affairs: "I never thought so many things would happen tonight. Originally, I wanted to go early." Find you and talk about hunting down Tom..."

When Dumbledore said this, there was a self-deprecating and kind smile on his face: "Even before I came, I asked Grindelwald to help me and let the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic in Europe act together..."

"Um…"

Barty Crouch Sr.'s expression relaxed.

However, the next moment, Dumbledore's eyes suddenly condensed, staring at Old Barty Crouch, and his whole person completely transformed into the old and stronger White Devil!

"Can you let me go and have a look?"

"..."

Barty Crouch Sr. hesitated for a while, nodded slowly, and could only lead Dumbledore towards the basement.

This was something he had never thought of!

Maybe Weisen Wright didn't think about it either!

Dumbledore would come to his house alone!

If Dumbledore uses some tracing magic, he is very likely to find something that is not right, and even discover the role of the little guy Wesson Wright in it!

This is troublesome...

However, Barty Crouch Sr. could not object. He could only lead Dumbledore towards the basement step by step, and spoke softly: "Winky secretly saw Voldemort and the Dark Lord Peter dying together in the basement. Barty took this opportunity to escape from the safe house, leaving Snape alone..."

"Um."

Dumbledore nodded obligingly.

When the most powerful white wizard was led into the basement, he immediately felt the dust and residual blood in the ruins in the basement...

Apparently.

There was indeed a great battle here.

When Dumbledore reached out and touched a wisp of dust, he could feel that it was the ashes left by a powerful wizard, which should have been left by Voldemort...

Other than that…

There is also a strong smell of gunpowder in the air... which makes people feel a little uncomfortable!

Dumbledore glanced at the basement and said softly: "It seems that a powerful protective barrier has been installed here in advance. This is a trap. Someone has used this place as a battlefield..."

"Enchantment?"

Old Barty Crouch frowned and continued softly with some confusion: "I only placed some Muggle weapons here..."

"Barty, you were taken advantage of."

Dumbledore just took one look and immediately revealed everything hidden in it: "This is a wizard duel field prepared in advance. When he set up the magic barrier, he could detect everything here. He knew that there were some The trap you laid..."

Dumbledore continued calmly: "But... the wizard who set up the barrier wants to kill anyone who steps here... It should be Peter's preparation in advance to welcome Tom... Peter asked Snape to use Barty Jr. to fight back... The reputation of being alive led Tom here..."

"..."

Barty Crouch Sr. frowned and couldn't speak.

Because when Dumbledore was speculating, anything he said might reveal flaws. The only thing he had to do was to lead Dumbledore in the wrong direction when he was in a dilemma and couldn't guess anything...

but…

Dumbledore guessed enough!

Because everything here was arranged by Wesson Wright, Dumbledore did guess that this was a trap arranged by a powerful wizard, with the purpose of killing anyone who stepped in here!

"If the blood is Peter's, it seems they are all really dead..."

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to touch some blood, and his voice gradually became a little more relaxed. The old man's worries that had been pressing in his heart could finally be settled.

If all this is true...

At least he doesn't have to worry about Peter Pettigrew causing trouble in the wizarding world again. At least he can relax for a while. After that, what if Peter Pettigrew comes back from resurrection? He has trained heroes of the new era...

When Dumbledore thought of this, he slowly looked back at Old Barty: "But... things won't end like this..."

Dumbledore continued with a serious face: "Barty, we should all know that both Tom and Peter are dark wizards who have created evil items such as Horcruxes... If we don't destroy their Horcruxes, sooner or later they will He will be resurrected and come back..."

"yes."

Old Barty Crouch nodded quickly: "I have planned to let the Aurors continue to pursue the matter of dark magic items, but there has been no clue about the Horcruxes. Voldemort and the Dark Lord Peter's Horcruxes have never had any clues. Discover…"

"yes…"

Dumbledore's attitude was a little hesitant. He slowly looked at Barty Crouch Sr., but in the end he did not continue to speak.

original…

Dumbledore wanted to have a good chat with Barty Crouch Sr. about Wesen being a Horcrux.

However, Dumbledore overheard tonight from the secret conversation between Old Barty and Snape that this man only used Wesson as a sign to hide that Barty was still alive...

Once Old Barty knows that Wesen is Peter's Horcrux, he will definitely kill him without hesitation!

This secret…

It’s better not to say it out loud just yet.

Now that everything here has been checked, Dumbledore is reluctantly relieved. He plans to take some blood and remaining body tissue to do a magic test to find a way to verify whether it was left by Peter...

Although Dumbledore had already made up his mind, he could still feel at ease after doing a simple experiment.

and…

He also had to settle matters at Hogwarts.

After all, too many things happened tonight. In addition to the two Dark Lords dying together, Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, was sent to Azkaban, and Snape, the Potions professor, lurked an unknown secret. The secret…

Time is too short.

There's so much going on.

Dumbledore felt that his energy was a little low.

However, just when Dumbledore was about to leave, Old Barty Crouch suddenly stopped him: "Dumbledore, regarding Barty... I will give an explanation to the Wizengamot Court!"

"Better not at this time."

Dumbledore quickly shook his head. He thought for less than a few seconds and immediately stopped Barty Crouch Sr.'s thoughts. He even reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him softly: "I will think of a way. …”

If it were the past...

Dumbledore doesn't care about these things!

It's just that now is the honeymoon period between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic. The support of the Ministry of Magic is quite useful to him. Old Barty Crouch has always done a good job and even helped him with Grindelwald. less busy…

To be honest.

Once Barty Crouch Sr. goes down, he will be replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour, the grumpy Auror Office Chief. Dumbledore feels that his relationship with the Ministry of Magic may become tense again. …

after all…

Rufus Scrimgeour had a tough attitude towards him as the headmaster of Hogwarts. He even believed that everything in the wizarding world should be handed over to the Ministry of Magic. He did everything with passion and never considered whether the Ministry of Magic could Take charge of the situation…

And when Rufus Scrimgeour takes over, maybe the British Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald will start a war again...

This is more of a headache.

In comparison, Barty Crouch Sr. is actually more suitable to stay at the Ministry of Magic. Coupled with Barty Sr.'s own mistakes, Dumbledore knows that he and Barty Sr. can get along more happily...

"Don't worry, Crouch, everyone makes mistakes..."

Dumbledore patted Crouch on the shoulder and said softly: "Why don't you put these things aside and transfer your energy to another child. Wesson is a good child..."

"Yes Yes…"

Old Batty echoed softly without any words.

"..."

Dumbledore could only sigh. He could see that Barty Crouch Sr. did not take his words to heart.

That child…

I've never been taken seriously...

Dumbledore thought of the route he had arranged for the child. Perhaps training the child step by step to become a hero against the resurrection of Peter Pettigrew would be the best destiny for the child...

Destiny is always a matter of chance.

Just as Dumbledore was here trying to arrange the fate of that child, that child was also arranging the fate of others, and he even started to act mercilessly!

Nordic.

Grindelwald has returned to Northern Europe via a portkey.

The Dark Lord got into his Thestral carriage and was on his way back to Durmstrang School.

While stroking the phoenix on his shoulder, Grindelwald whispered to the phoenix: "Did you kill Dumbledore's crazy student?"

"right…"

The sound of a young man yawning came from Phoenix's mouth. He seemed a little bored when he spoke: "I just killed him once. He will probably be resurrected next year..."

"next year?!"

"yes…"

The young man's voice in Phoenix's mouth became softer, and he muttered as if he was a little sleepy: "What kind of useless diary is this? It also boasts that it is omniscient and omnipotent. Why can't it even write a formula for controllable nuclear fusion..."
