Starting Over at Hogwarts

In fact.

Barty Crouch Sr. didn't quite understand Wesson's brain circuits.

It is impossible for anyone to predict what will happen two years later. Could Harry Potter's admission cause a Minister of Magic to step down?

This kind of logic is a bit nonsense.

Now Wesson can't explain it to old Barty Crouch, because he can't say that he has to find a way to steal the Philosopher's Stone from the treasure house of the Goblin Bank to frame people, right?

As long as you can learn that skill...

Or that skill can live up to expectations.

If everything can be done properly, the Minister of Magic will be blamed.

[Normal task: Obtain the Marauder's Map (0/1), the secret treasure of Hogwarts, and reward the magic skill teleportation, which has not been completed. 】

"How is Mr. Barty Crouch Jr.?"

Vincent Wright glanced at old Barty Crouch, who was concentrating on driving, and habitually raised a topic that shouldn't be asked.

"..."

After the old Barty Crouch was silent for a moment, his voice became obviously lowered: "I used the Imperius Curse on him when I went out in the morning, so I should be able to be more honest..."

The relationship between father and son is really a bit sad.

Barty Crouch Jr. hated his father very much, and believed that Voldemort could be his father, which also made their father-son relationship even more tense.

A son who hated himself went astray.

A father who hated him was iron-blooded and ruthless.

Only those who have been with Barty Crouch for a long time know that this aging senior official of the Ministry of Magic has a softness that ordinary people cannot see through.

"Now is not the time to be soft-hearted."

Wesson Wright could hear the complexity of old Barty Crouch, and the young boy's immature voice carried an inexplicable magic: "Mr. Barty Crouch Jr. was able to survive because his mother bought it with her life. We cannot let a great mother's sacrifice go to waste..."

"I've always known that."

Old Barty Crouch held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the wrinkles on his hands slowly tensed, and said in a deep voice, "That's why I agreed to obey your wishes... as long as you kill Voldemort, now all Everything will be liberated.”

Generally speaking, Voldemort's name cannot be mentioned.

It's just that Barty Crouch Sr. and Wesson Wright's goal is to kill Voldemort, so naturally there is nothing to shy away from their enemies.

then.

Old Barty Crouch was a senior official of the Ministry of Magic who openly and toughly opposed Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and put each Death Eater into the Azkaban Prison.

Just when Barty Crouch Sr. was in high spirits, his son Barty Crouch Jr. was found out to be a Death Eater, which caused his reputation to plummet and also made Barty Crouch Sr. reach the top of Magic The Minister's hopes were dashed.

In order to persist in fighting against Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Barty Crouch Sr. personally sent his son to Azkaban Prison, which became synonymous with iron and blood.

However…

Barty Crouch Jr. was in poor spirits. This loyal subordinate of Voldemort had unimaginably weak willpower. He was tortured by dementors in Azkaban for a year and almost died.

At that time, Mrs. Crouch unfortunately fell seriously ill.

Before she died, Mrs. Crouch begged her husband, and secretly carried out a secret exchange. Mrs. Crouch died in Azkaban instead of her son.

Barty Crouch Jr. was able to get out of prison and make a living.

In order to keep his son from causing trouble, Barty Crouch Sr. had to use the Imperius Curse to control his son Barty Crouch Jr., and let the house elf Winky take care of him to prevent him from sneaking around go out.

This kind of father-son relationship that can be barely maintained by relying on the magic of the Unforgivable Curse,

For Barty Crouch and his son, it was a great torment.

Suburbs of London.

The car slowly drove into a residential area.

This residential area is not a place where wizards live, but a group of ordinary human Muggles live, so it can be a bit lively occasionally.

The car finally parked in an ordinary residential garage.

Old Barty Crouch opened the car door, and casually raised his doubts: "I don't think it's very convenient to live in a Muggle area..."

"But it's safe here."

Wei Sen shook his head slowly, and said softly: "You should know our arrangement here, it's hard to say that anyone will be able to find out who we want to hide..."

The house looks very ordinary.

In fact, the inside of the house is something else.

The whole house is actually divided into four parts.

The first area, the living area on the first floor.

This was the future quarters of Wesson Wright and Barty Crouch Sr., and it looked like any ordinary family, and indeed it was nothing special.

The second area, the trap area on the second floor.

There are Muggle shielding spells and protection spells arranged here. It seems to be a place where a wizard lives, and there are wizards' spells and potion traps inside.

Generally speaking, any wizard who is attracted by the Muggle shielding spell and breaks through the protection spell to invade the second floor, if he wants to survive, depends on his rich knowledge.

After all, the old Barty Crouch who set the trap was an experienced and outstanding wizard, and Dumbledore once praised the knowledge of the old Barty Crouch.

The third area, the basement trap area.

The entire basement is not small, and it has been enchanted by old Barty Crouch, probably only a wizard of Dumbledore's level can crack it.

In addition, the entire basement was also arranged as a wizard's hidden laboratory, and all the expensive medicines and equipment were hidden from the surface...

But it's not really a laboratory...

It's full of Muggle gadgets like landmines and grenades.

The fourth area, the underground fortress safe house.

The entire underground fortress area is the core part of this house.

Due to the Cold War relationship between the two major powers in the Muggle world, a devastating crisis may break out at any moment, and an underground fortress that can resist nuclear wars came into being.

There is no shortage of supplies inside the fortress.

tonight.

Barty Crouch Sr. would put Barty Crouch Jr. and house-elf Winky in the bunker.

Once they enter the underground bunker...

Nobody but Vincent Wright would ever find out the existence of the Bunkers, not even Barty Crouch Sr. because of the Fidelity Charm.

In a sense, Barty Crouch Jr., who will be imprisoned in the underground fortress in the future, is also a hostage used by Wesson Wright to control Barty Crouch Sr.

As equipment against nuclear warfare, this underground fortress is very strong.

And it was also turned into a real safe house by the old Barty Crouch with the Loyalty Charm, a safe house that cannot be destroyed at all.

The secret keeper of the safe house is Wesson Wright.

to be frank.

Seven or eight years have passed since the Dark Lord Voldemort disappeared.

Vincent Wright also asked old Barty Crouch to take such a safe protective measure. If other wizards knew about it, they would probably feel that they were somewhat out of their minds.

Even old Barty Crouch himself felt that this series of protective measures was too insidious, and even the cunning Dark Lord Voldemort seemed a little pure in comparison.

Old Barty Crouch couldn't see clearly what the little guy Wesson was thinking.

If Weisen is timid, this little guy seems to be planning to target the Dark Lord who may be resurrected;

If Wesson is bold, this little guy really pays too much attention to security issues, and the security level of this house can even be said to be higher than that of Hogwarts.

Winky the house-elf and Barty Crouch Jr. had been waiting here for some time when Vincent Wright and Barty Crouch Sr. entered the house.

Barty Crouch Jr., who was once called a genius wizard, can't see the proud appearance of the past at all.

His hair was messy and there was a layer of stubble on his chin.

Because of being controlled by his father with the Imperius Curse, Barty Crouch Jr.'s eyes were a bit dull, and he was not even as energetic as the house elf standing by his legs.

What a distressed young man...

"In the future, there will be no need for the Imperius Curse at this base..."

Vincent Wright stared at Barty Crouch Jr. and explained calmly: "And I also believe that Mr. Barty Jr. will be willing to live in the underground bunker in order to live soberly..."
