Everyone knew what happened next. Barty Crouch Jr. pretended to be his father and threw Ron's name into the Goblet of Fire, while Keresis Jr. pretended to be Moody at Hogwarts to attract everyone's attention and help Ron pass the competition.
Later, he noticed that something was wrong. Perhaps he discovered that the traitor, Durand, had given the family's secret documents to Lord Voldemort, so he hurried back and set up Barty Crouch Jr. while he was at it.
"Your father escaped!" Dumbledore asked. "What happened?"
"Yes, my master told me that the vampires were not reliable. They had other plans. In order to complete my master's plan, I personally went to Hogwarts and exchanged identities with the leader of the vampires, Keresis. After he returned, he purposely let my father go! " Barty Crouch Jr. said. "He was demonstrating to my master. He thought it would work, but he didn't know my master's real plan … After my father escaped, my master guessed that he went to Hogwarts. My father wanted to tell Dumbledore everything. He wanted to confess to him that he had smuggled me out of Azkaban. "
"My master informed me that my father had escaped, and he wanted me to stop him at all costs. During that period of time, I stood guard beside the Forbidden Forest. I knew that he would definitely appear from there. "
"I waited for my father to reach Hogwarts for a week. Finally, one night, I met him there. I originally wanted to see if there was a chance to take Harry Potter away. My master was in a hurry, so I had to hurry. I hid the door key under the lake. As long as I caught him, I could leave … "
"Usually in the castle, Dumbledore kept a close eye on the boy, so I didn't have a chance to make a move. And that Elwyn Mason is also there. I can feel that the child is beginning to suspect me! " Barty Crouch Jr. continued in a flat tone, "That kid is smart and strong. I've never seen a little wizard like him. He's a big problem. That night in the forest, I almost lost to him. Fortunately, my father ran into the forest at the critical moment, and I chased after him … "
"What did you do to him?"
"I killed my father!" Barty Crouch Jr.'s lips suddenly curled into a strange, cruel smile.
"No!!!" Twinkle wailed. "Master Barty, what are you talking about?"
"You killed your father …" Dumbledore said in the same gentle voice. "How did you deal with the body?"
"In the forest, cover him with the Cloak of Invisibility and use the Soulsnatch Curse to control Wickidor Krum. I told Dumbledore to look for my father in the Forbidden Forest, but after he left, I chanted the Transformation Curse on the body, turning it into a skeleton. Then, I wore the Cloak of Invisibility and buried it in front of Hagrid's hut. "
There was a moment of silence, and only Twinkle was still sobbing.
Barty Crouch Jr. regarded the Lord Voldemort as an object of worship. The Lord Voldemort had killed his father, so he killed his own father without any mercy. This probably made him feel that he was very similar to the Lord Voldemort.
Next, he told the story of how he controlled Krum to attack Ron under the lake, and how he took Harry away.
Finally, Dumbledore stood up. He looked down at Barty Crouch Jr., his face showing a look of disgust.
"It's very clear!" Dumbledore said calmly, turning to look at Elwyn and Harry. "I have to say it again, the two of you have performed very bravely today, far exceeding my expectations of you. The courage you showed in fighting against the Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters is comparable to the wizards who fought against the Lord Voldemort to the death in his prime. This makes us have higher expectations of you. Alright, after so many unfortunate events, I think you should go to the school hospital, take some sleeping pills, and have a good night's sleep. Sirius, are you willing to accompany them? "
Sirius nodded and stood up.
"Professor, I still have something to tell you, about those vampires …" Elwyn said to Dumbledore.
Keresis and his people would be the next focus, which would help them figure out what the Lord Voldemort knew.
Elwyn was ready to discuss the matter with Dumbledore. Cedric had not returned yet, and it was worrying what Keresis would do to him.
"Alright!" Dumbledore hesitated. "Elwyn, you can wait for me here for a while. Sirius and I will first send Harry and Moody to the school hospital, and then we will go to my office to talk about the vampires alone. Severus, can I trouble you to stay here and watch over Barty Crouch Jr.? "
Snape nodded and looked gloomily at Barty Crouch Jr., who was sitting on the chair.
Dumbledore, Sirius, and Harry left with the real Moody and the crying Sparkly. Only Elwyn and Snape were left in the room.
There was a strange silence, and neither of them continued to speak.
Snape did not look too good, and the Dark Demon Mark on his arm kept hurting.
Dumbledore would definitely let him return to the Lord Voldemort's side as a spy, and Elwyn did not know what Snape would do.
No matter how he looked at it, the Lord Voldemort seemed determined to kill him …
Elwyn felt the need to remind Snape to be careful.
"After the Lord Voldemort resurrected, the first thing he did was to summon the Death Eaters!" Elwyn said suddenly, noticing the change in Snape's expression. "Compared to the best gathering thirteen years ago, there were a lot of people absent this time. They're either dead or locked up in Azkaban."
"Quiet, Mr. Know-It-All!" Snape said. "I'm not interested in hearing that story again."
Elwyn did not seem to hear Snape's words and continued, "Besides that, there were three people who didn't go. The first is Barty Crouch Jr. After he sent me and Harry away, he couldn't escape from the Hogwarts. The other one should be Kakarov … "
"He escaped not long after the Dark Demon resurrected!" Snape turned to look at Elwyn and stared at him coldly.
"If I'm not mistaken, he couldn't have stayed in the Hogwarts after feeling the heat from the Black Magic Mark!" Elwyn said to himself. "He betrayed so many people back then, and he didn't dare to meet them. The Lord Voldemort seems to have expected this, and he must have a way to find him. As for the last person … "
"Mason, you can be quiet for a while! I know the Dark Demon better than you, I know what he's thinking! " Snape said, no longer as calm as before. He left Barty Crouch Jr. and walked towards Elwyn. "I don't need you to remind me, I also know …"
Just then, the office door suddenly opened.
