The old Batty once pursued high status and longed for power.
But now, he knows what kind of mistake he made back then.
That time, he was so eager to secure his position that he sent people to Azkaban without even giving Barty Jr. time to defend himself.
But his heart was not hard enough and he could not withstand his wife's plea, so he asked his seriously ill wife to replace Little Barty.
The result was the outside world's condemnation of his child-rearing and little Barty's resentment.
Even if he controlled the person at home with the Imperius Curse for more than ten years, he still could not regain his power.
After John told him that Barty Jr. was not involved in the Longbottoms incident, he understood that he was terribly wrong.
After landing his coveted position, he continued to let work paralyze him.
The best Minister of Magic in ten years.
The best Minister of Magic in twenty years.
The best Minister of Magic in fifty years.
The best Minister of Magic in a hundred years.
He continues to make progress, but his relationship with his son is also constantly estranged.
"I'm very lucky," Batty Sr. said, looking at Pierce. "I have a good partner."
Silverhand changes everything and changes the way Barty Sr. thinks about power.
He will stand in the election.
But for Barty Jr., he really wanted to make amends.
As for the werewolf equalization bill, it is more like a reward for the werewolves' efforts.
After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Barty Sr. returned to the empty Crouch home.
There used to be a lively family of three here, but now I am the only one left.
Staring at the First Class Merlin Medal, Old Barty leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply.
"very tired?"
John's voice sounded, and Old Barty looked over.
John shrugged, "I hope you don't mind my unauthorized arrival."
"No," Old Barty said with a smile, "I'm very happy."
"It seems like you consider me a friend."
Cooperation is about mutual respect, and only friends will drop by unexpectedly.
John was stunned, then smiled and said, "Old Barty, you have changed."
In the past, old Batty would panic because John took off his mask, and would also warn John because of public opinion issues.
But now the old Batty seems to be different.
"I don't mind if you want to be friends." John came to Old Barty's sofa and sat down.
Looking around, he said curiously: "This is not much different from the last time I came here."
"You might be able to get Twinkle back to work."
Winky is a house elf who was expelled by Barty Sr., but now works at Hogwarts.
"Your suggestion is good," Old Batty nodded and said, "If I find a chance, I will let Twinkle come back."
"Hogwarts never restricts you. This is much more free than when I was in school." Old Barty said.
John said casually: "When you were in school, there wasn't a guy without a nose."
"But I have a question I need to confirm with you," John rubbed the ring and asked, "Are you going to participate in the election?"
Old Barty paused, stood up, walked to John and stretched out his hand, "I think I will."
John held his hand and said easily, "Then I know what to do."
"John," Old Batty asked, "are we friends?"
"Maybe," John said casually, standing up and adjusting his clothes, "it depends on what you think."
"I hope so," Old Barty said seriously.
"Then we can go to the pub another day," John chuckled. "That way we will be more like friends."
"It will be like this."
Old Batty smiled.
"John," he called John again as he was about to walk out the door, and this time he said, "we are friends."
John was stunned for a moment, nodded and left.
Old Barty was alone at Crouch's house, looking at the dim candlelight, and murmured to himself: "When the election is over, I can find a pub."
Shaking his head, he had to get back to work.
...
"It's cold at high places."
John walked out of Crouch's house and stretched his hand across the front.
The golden trail opens a passage to Hogwarts.
He walked inside and turned his head to see a startled Malfoy.
"How did you do that?" Malfoy came over with eyes shining after he realized what he was doing.
John snapped his fingers and the passage disappeared.
"Of course it's magic." He glanced at Malfoy, who was not sleeping in the lounge, "Are you alone?"
"Of course not," Malfoy looked around and whispered, "I'm with Atto, I think Daphne is weird lately."
"Just because she didn't hang up on you?"
"She didn't even bother me."
The words fell.
John looked at Malfoy with a look that was hard to explain, "Don't you think this is a good thing?"
"It's a good thing," Malfoy said coyly, "but it's not in line with common sense. Even if I hold Atto's hand in front of Daphne, I won't get hung up."
"I advise you not to test her bottom line." John was speechless, this guy was really itchy.
Malfoy said seriously: "I think she is really sad this time, John."
sad?
Is it referring to the chef at the Chelsea Muggle restaurant during the Christmas holidays?
John thought for a while and said, "Do you think I want to send someone to kill that chef..."
"Of course not, although that is a good idea," Malfoy thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she feels that she can't help you."
"I've never considered her a liability, Draco."
"But she would think so."
Malfoy rarely said seriously: "You are so perfect, John."
"Your perfection makes people find no meaning in being around you."
Malfoy said: "We all want to do something for you so that we can stand by your side openly."
John didn't know that his friends were under such pressure.
His kindness to his friends is never based on a certain purpose.
However, he looked at Malfoy strangely and asked, "This doesn't seem like something you can say."
How could Malfoy, that heartless person, take this into consideration?
Malfoy was angry, what does it mean to be different!
"Oh, Fleur asked me to say it."...
Yes, it really doesn't look like it.
In class today, Malfoy was still trying to die in front of Daphne.
When John heard it was Fleur, it was not surprising.
Originally, Furong was the eldest girl in the Star Club, and she had always shouldered the responsibility of the eldest sister.
Just like Percy, he is the kind of person who can detect things.
But when it comes to girls, Furong still sees things through.
"I'll talk to Daphne," John said.
Malfoy was relieved, and Astoria was almost unable to eat because she was worried about Daphne.
Now Astoria can have a good meal.
...
hall.
John looked at the plate in front of him. Although it looked ugly, he could still see the original material.
"So...you are researching new cuisine these days?"
Daphne learned from the experience, found out the problem within herself, and changed the problem.
Hannah's practice told Daphne that the recipe was probably not suitable for Western tastes.
In this case, she decided to change her strategic direction and bring Western cuisine to the table.
"I understand the logic...okay."
John looked at the plate of possibilities
It's beef, cut open with a table knife.
He looked at the pink flesh inside.
John: "..." This external focus is also a technique.
He has seen medium rare, is this thing medium rare?
Facing Daphne's expectant eyes, John asked carefully: "Did you buy the recipe this time from that Eastern wizard?"
"How do you know?" Daphne asked confused.
"Tell me his home address."
John finally ate it.
To be honest, he actually found it tastier than before.
Although there is no sense of taste.
For his teeth, eating a cow raw was no problem.
Meat is only raw, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique taste.
It gave him the feeling of chasing cattle on the prairie.
"I think werewolves would like this very much." John commented.
It made Daphne feel that she was on the right track.
After glancing at the happy Daphne, John silently turned to look at Malfoy who didn't dare to look at him.
Malfoy coughed twice and left, saying that he had to prepare for the Quidditch match.
...
The transformation of the twenty-eight sacred tribes is still fermenting.
The Malfoy family is very prestigious in this reordering.
Those purebloods who want to join this historic alliance also have a time to show their sincerity.
Another meeting of the Ministry of Magic.
Regarding the Werewolf Equality Bill.
