The conversation continued in the empty corridor.
"I don't blame him, but Barty Crouch's way of doing things and thinking on other matters is definitely beyond your imagination," Sirius lowered his voice and said with a serious expression, "Elwyn, I don't know how much you know or what you want to do, but you have to know that Crouch is a ruthless and cold-blooded person, even more vicious than his opponents, the Death Eaters who use black magic. He advocates using violence against violence, allowing unforgivable spells to be used on suspects. "
"That's right, this gave him a lot of supporters," Mr. Weasley said uneasily, constantly looking around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. "At that time, most people thought what he did was right. Many wizards clamored for him to become the head of the Ministry of Magic, and his own reputation had long surpassed that of the others in the ministry. After Lord Voldemort disappeared, it was only a matter of time before he became the head … "
"But the irony is …" Sirius smiled coldly, "At that time, Crouch's own son was captured. He was with a group of Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban with flowery words. It seems like they are looking for Lord Voldemort, hoping to make a comeback. "
The smile on his face did not fade as he stared at the heavy oak door not far away. A sign hung crookedly above it: Aurora Command.
"You should know what happened next," Sirius continued, "You can imagine that this was quite a blow to that old man. He should spend more time with his family, get off work early from time to time, and get to know his son better. "
"That's right," Elwyn nodded.
Not just Crouch, everyone should get to know Barty Crouch Jr.
If Mr. Weasley and Sirius knew his true colors and position among the Death Eaters, they would definitely be shocked.
"I've seen that boy, a cowardly guy who only knows how to cry. He looks so weak." Sirius recalled, "When he was imprisoned in Azkaban, I was there too. He was right next to my cell. From what I remember, he was crying every day. When that boy was arrested, the people with him were all Death Eaters. I bet that poor guy just shouldn't have been in that place at that time. "
"Maybe he's not as simple as you think," Elwyn said carefully, "My investigation revealed some very interesting information. They were imprisoned in Azkaban because they used the Heart Drill Curse to torture the Longbottom couple. I asked Professor Lupin to help me contact the witness of that incident …"
Mr. Weasley and Sirius were obviously very surprised that Elwyn knew so much.
"All in all, Barty Crouch Jr. is not simple," Elwyn concluded, repeating the information he had obtained.
"Maybe, but what's the point of all this?"
Sirius said impatiently, "I saw the Dementors bring him in with my own eyes. I watched them through the iron bars of the cell door. He was at most nineteen years old. They threw him into a cell next to mine. In the evening, he screamed for his mother. But after a few days, he went silent. They all went silent in the end. In that godforsaken place, everyone will become like this, only occasionally screaming in their sleep … "
"Everyone knows that a year after he was locked up in that place, he died. He paid the price for his crimes," Mr. Weasley said hurriedly. "Alright, can we not stand here and talk about these things?"
"That's right. What you need to do now is to write a letter to your parents …" Sirius hugged Elwyn's shoulder. "Maybe, you should write a letter to Remus too."
"Come on, what do you want to drink? I have some …"
"Wait, this isn't over yet!" Elwyn hurriedly raised his voice and said loudly, "Barty Crouch Jr. might not be dead …"
Mr. Weasley and Sirius both stopped and stared at Elwyn, who had a serious expression on his face. A funny expression of wanting to laugh but holding back appeared on his face.
"He must be dead, right in front of me. I saw his death with my own eyes," Sirius said painfully. "Since you want to know, I'll tell you. He wasn't the only one who died. Most of the people there went crazy. Many of them eventually went on a hunger strike. "
Sirius looked into Elwyn's eyes, his hoarse voice slowly recounting the past.
"They lost the will to live. They can know when a person dies because the Soul Catchers can feel it. They get excited every time it happens," Sirius said. "The boy was sick when he came. Crouch was an important official in the Ministry of Magic. He and his wife were allowed to see their dying son. He half supported and half supported his wife as he walked past my cell. It seemed like his wife died soon. He was overwhelmed with grief. Like the boy, she withered and died. Crouch didn't come to collect his son's body. The Soul Catchers buried him outside the fortress. I saw them do it. "
Elwyn wanted to speak, but Sirius stopped him.
"Think about it, isn't it sad?" A cruel smile appeared on his face. "Just when poor Crouch thought he had succeeded, he lost everything. He was a hero just now, confident that he would become the Minister of the Ministry of Magic... In the blink of an eye, his son died, his wife died, his family's reputation was tarnished, and his prestige in the eyes of the public plummeted. "
"I remember that the newspapers at the time were all about this." Mr. Weasley added. "After the boy died, people began to sympathize with his son and asked why a child from a good family would go down such a bad path. The conclusion was that his father never cared about him. Just like that, Cornelius took the top position, and Old Barty was transferred to the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic."
"So, after knowing all this, what else do you have to doubt?" Sirius asked Elwyn. "I don't know how much information you have, but Barty Crouch Jr. is definitely dead."
"No, this is not the whole story. Barty Crouch might have brought his son out of Azkaban," Elwyn panted, deciding to speak the truth directly. "According to Barty Crouch's personality and behavior, we can deduce that..."
"What a ridiculous deduction. I saw him die with my own eyes, right in front of me, and you're talking to me about deduction?" Sirius sighed and said in a heavy tone, "Elwyn, you might have been under too much pressure recently. I think..."
