Old Barty was fighting against the Imperius Curse every day. Fortunately, Voldemort's current state required him to practice regularly and he could not keep an eye on him all the time. Instead, he gave Pettigrew the responsibility of keeping an eye on him. Peter.
Peter Pettigrew didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he was often in a daze. It is tens of thousands of times less difficult to hide Peter Pettigrew than it is to hide Voldemort in his infant state. He spent a lot of time and finally got rid of the Imperius Curse. He didn't dare to use magic to prevent Voldemort's weird methods from tracking his whereabouts. He could only rely on willpower and walk day and night to get to Hogwarts. , he no longer cares about the consequences of this move that may ruin his reputation——
If Voldemort is really resurrected because of him, then he will truly be a sinner through the ages. He decided to find Dumbledore and confess everything.
That's why he's at Hogwarts.
The problem is that Barty Jr., pretending to be Crazy Eyes Moody, obtained the Marauder's Map from Harry, and learned about Barty Sr.'s escape from a letter from Peter Pettigrew. He always used the Marauder's Map to wait and see, and finally he really He waited until old Batty threw himself into a trap. If Xie Lin hadn't been strong enough, I'm afraid Old Batty would have turned into a pile of bones by now.
After he recovered his memory, he shook his head vigorously. He felt that there seemed to be something inexplicable in his mind. This gave him a sense of being torn apart from reality, and his whole head felt a little swollen and painful.
After a while, his eyes returned to their previous clarity, with a hint of coldness.
At that moment, he had already seen the scene when he was unconscious——
His son, the son with the same honor as his own name, the son who had high hopes for his 12 OWL certificates, the son he saved at the risk of ruining his reputation, the wife he truly loved with a The son whose life was exchanged——
He really wanted to kill himself, and he didn't hesitate!
He clenched his fists fiercely, with a fierce look in his eyes, and thought to himself, since you no longer have a father-son relationship with me, then don't blame me for being ruthless and determined to kill the family.
He is such a shrewd and decisive person. After cutting off the burden of family ties, he experienced a near-death experience. It seemed that the ambition that had been exhausted more than ten years ago was rekindled in his heart.
To be honest, before this twists and turns, he had planned to sacrifice his reputation and status to tell Dumbledore all the truth. But now, he has another choice!
He knew very well that he was able to survive this time not because of God's blessing, but because of the student named Malfoy, who was regarded as the star of hope in the magical world and the next Dumbledore!
He has the ability to repel the enemy in an absolutely unfavorable situation and still keep himself as a drag. Obviously, his strength is not just as simple as being an exceptionally good student.
Old Barty had a hunch in his heart that the young Malfoy, who was so outstanding that he could be called terrifying, was no less powerful than the most elite Aurors in the Ministry of Magic. Even if someone told him that Xie Lin could compete with the Archmage, he didn't think it was any exaggeration.
Now that he has decided to get rid of his son——
Then, there is no need to sacrifice one's power, reputation, and status. As long as little Barty is dead, no one will know what he has done, except little Mr. Malfoy. Little Mr. Malfoy obviously won't be a problem. From his continuous connections in the Ministry of Magic, we can know that he is an ambitious person——
Then, he must understand the importance of talents and subordinates.
No matter how you say it, you are the head of one of the 28 pure-blood families. He holds the powerful position of head of the Department of International Cooperation in the Ministry of Magic. In the past, he was also a candidate for the Minister of Magic in the Ministry of Magic. He has countless disciples and disciples. . He did not believe that Schelling could not see his own value.
As for the matter of killing Barty Jr., there is no need to worry about it. All you need to do is ask Xie Lin to handle it for you. This is the only condition for him to surrender. If he cannot do this, it means that Xie Lin does not yet have the means and abilities worthy of his surrender. As for falling into someone's trap, that's not a problem. Old Batty, who is familiar with politics and people's hearts, knows very well that only when Schelling masters his most deadly secret can he gain his highest trust.
For a moment, various different thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally turned into a picture of Mrs. Crouch looking at him with tears and longing, which slowly lingered in his mind. He closed his eyes, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his tightly closed lips trembled and let out a long sigh.
"Dear, I'm really sorry. After you left, this home became a home where I was alone. In fact, it had long existed in name only. I was just lying to myself, thinking that I could regain what you lost with that bastard. It's just family affection, but that kid is hopeless..."
Old Batty suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyeballs filled with determination, "Since there is no more love and family affection, let's use our career to make up for it!"
At the same time, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's rest room, little Barty transformed into Crazy Eyes Moody again, sitting on a wooden chair and suddenly woke up. He knocked on his head, only to feel that his whole head was dizzy and he had a splitting headache.
He only remembered that he had been following the Marauder's Map these days, waiting for the old man to appear. Finally, his whereabouts were found at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but Harry Potter, whom the owner valued, and the difficult Malfoy were chatting nearby.
Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration and used magic to cause some movement to lead the two of them elsewhere. Then, before anyone else appeared, he successfully killed the old man with the killing curse, then turned the body into an animal skeleton and buried it in the sea. in the mud near the shed. Hagrid's patch of mud is used to grow some of Hogwarts' food. He often uses animal bones as organic fertilizer and throws them into the mud, so finding bones there will not attract anyone's attention.
He twisted his aching neck, then looked at the scarred wounds on his body that had just been coated with white ointment, and couldn't help cursing: "Useless Peter Pettigrew, you can't even look down upon him. I almost missed the master's important event, but luckily I had Potter's map..."
He rubbed his temples, and his headache seemed to be relieved a little bit. He cursed again: "As expected of an old man, he has no magic wand in his hand and his spirit is already so weak that he can still fight back against me..."
Immediately, he grinned and said, "But fortunately, I have solved all the problems perfectly... without delaying the master's important events..."
