Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Well, it was indeed "settled"!Lockhart felt his eyes widened.

Seeing that he was getting more and more shameless, Crouch quickly stopped his wild thoughts: "Don't think too much, she is pregnant with my grandson."

Lockhart didn't turn his head around for a moment: "Yes, no matter what the aesthetics are, there is his... grandson?"

"Yes, my grandson, I have asked the doctor in St. Mungo's to perform a scouting spell. It is a boy, and it is expected to be born in another 8 and a half months... What's the matter?"

Seeing Lockhart's strange expression, Crouch couldn't help but ask one more question.

"...It's nothing, I just figured out something." Lockhart replied obediently, "I just want to ask one more question, is Ms. Umbridge voluntary?"

"Of course." Crouch sneered, "She is absolutely wishful thinking. For her, give her a child born from the "Holy 28 Pure Blood", what else can she complain about?"

■

"Yes." The last question in Lockhart's mind was also solved.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the reason why little Barty was emotional.

Chapter 230 Eighth

Soon, the news that Crouch's Death Eater son survived and escaped after attacking his father hit the newspapers.As for the impact it caused... I can only say the word "public outcry", and Rita Skeeter used it correctly for the first time.

This is not only a scandal, but also involves the high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic. At the same time, it also contains various secrets about the pure-blood family. There are so many elements that the wizards like to see, and the result naturally caused heated discussions among British wizards.

Lockhart glanced at the newspaper, and found that most of the events had been published on it, from the matter of Crouch sending his son to stand trial back then to his cover-up for his son's escape from prison.

And the only thing that was hidden from the newspaper was the "deal" between Crouch and Umbridge, which could be regarded as leaving the last bit of decency for the "Holy 28 Pure Blood" family.

Gemma Farley has complained to the newspaper more than once, saying that Fudge is too petty, but for political strife, he exposed all the old background of the Crouch family, and he doesn't even know how to keep a line.

"What he's doing is reducing the prestige of all pure-blood families among wizards." Gemma said directly to Lockhart what she was thinking, "We have decided to let Crouch retire, and he himself agreed. But Fudge is still relentless, he really has no aristocratic demeanor."

"Aristocratic style?" Lockhart hadn't heard this word for a long time. "Fujita is a standard politician. It's normal to beat a lion for fear of not dying."

"That's right, it's really going downhill for this kind of person to be in the top position." Gemma added.

Lockhart found that she hadn't paid attention to what the truth was from the beginning to the end,

Crouch's disgraceful role in the affair was never discussed, nor did she even mention whether it was right or wrong.

Probably this is the so-called aristocratic demeanor, right?Lockhart thought.

Since there is no truth in the newspaper, Lockhart can only try to deduce it based on known conditions.He believes that what he guessed is very close, if not the whole truth.

First Umbridge -

This woman really cannot be judged by common sense. If an ordinary woman is used as a reproductive tool by Crouch like this, she will most likely be furious, thinking that her personality has been insulted, and making this proposal people broke up.

But Umbridge didn't. When Crouch tentatively asked her "would you like to be a member of the real pure-blood family", she agreed without hesitation, and she didn't seem to care at all whether the other party was Who.

She only knew that if she was pregnant with the blood of the Crouch family, then she would completely become a pure blood wizard from heart to body, or the noble "Holy 28 Pure Blood"

No one will question her self-proclaimed "pure blood" status, because the child in her womb is the best proof.

On the other hand, Barty Crouch's determination to maintain the family heritage also exceeded Lockhart's imagination.

Although the quality of Umbridge's fertility tool is not very good, and her "pure blood" is just talking, everyone actually knows that her father is actually the sweeper who used to work in the Ministry of Magic.

But that didn't really matter—as long as the Crouches recognized her as pureblood, then she really was pureblood.

Moreover, this girl puts more emphasis on the glory of the pure blood family than ordinary pure blood, which is also a good thing.And Crouch's own son can't be exposed now, so Crouch doesn't bother to pick and choose, and one of them will be used first.

Anyway, my son was cast with the Imperius Curse, and I don't care whether the other character playing the opposite role is Brother Piao or not.

And Crouch did succeed—during the month that Umbridge lived in Hogsmeade, she ostensibly came to supervise Lockhart's work, but in fact the real work was with Barty Jr. o Crouch "continuing the family line"

According to Crouch, during that time, the house-elf Winky also often took her young master to Hogsmeade in the Cloak of Invisibility, and let him secretly breed with Umbridge there.

More than a month later, under Umbridge's hard work, she successfully conceived the offspring of the Crouch family, and according to Dr. St. Mungo's special diagnosis, it was definitely a male, old Crouch Qi also let go of one of his worries because of this.

No wonder he suddenly regained his desire for power - so the family has another offspring, Lockhart sighed in his heart.

It's just that the only thing that Old Crouch didn't expect was that his son would suddenly lose control, and he didn't know why he hadn't broken free from the Imperius Curse for so many years, but suddenly broke free one day.

After learning and deriving this information, the truth emerged for Lockhart—he now knew why Barty Crouch Jr. suddenly lost control.

To be honest, Lockhart asked himself, if he saw a pink female toad approaching him naked, and then declared that he would "suck the sperm", he would be insane too.

Presumably because of his own reasons, Umbridge has been depressed in the political arena and has to be at the mercy of others.At the same time, because of her obsession with "pure blood", she was favored by Crouch and became the carrier of the continuation of the Crouch family's bloodline.

My seemingly unrelated actions have caused such a big impact on the "future".

Influence, this is simply the law of heaven, and the retribution is not good.

It was only then that Lockhart realized that he was the same as everyone else, and probably needed to walk alone.

How things will develop next, Lockhart can already imagine - Barty Crouch, Jr. must have regained his self-awareness, and took advantage of the busiest months of the Ministry of Magic to attack his father and flee. As Trelawney predicted, Voldemort will be found again, and he will be resurrected, starting the second Voldemort Rebellion.

After his son escaped, old Crouch's political life can be said to have ended, and now his only concern is the grandson in Umbridge's belly.Although he still has some influence in the Ministry of Magic, Lockhart doesn't expect it to play much role.

For Lockhart, the most important thing is to keep himself, his position, and his political achievements.

After Crouch's influence fades, it is impossible for Fudge not to take action against the Department of International Affairs, and his political achievements are likely to be taken away by his confidants.

Lockhart must not allow this to happen.

Recommend Gemma. He suddenly said to his subordinate and current girlfriend, "I plan to talk to Dumbledore, Fudge, and your father respectively.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Gemma's mouth: "I'm glad you made this decision, I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time, Gildero."

P.So the ten cuts were double-passed today

Chapter 230 IX

If someone were to ask Lockhart who is the most respected wizard, he would answer "Albus Dumbledore" without hesitation.

But if someone asked him one more question, who is the person he most wants to be, then Lockhart might not answer so happily.

The reason why a great man is called a great man is because he has done things unimaginable by ordinary people, and to achieve such great feats, what he needs is experience and ability that ordinary people do not have.

Here lies the problem—people with extraordinary abilities and experience experience hardships that ordinary people cannot bear.

Lockhart certainly respects Dumbledore, but that doesn't mean he thinks he should be like Dumbledore, especially when his strength isn't enough

The escape of Barty Crouch Jr. brought a sense of urgency to Lockhart—not only in terms of personal security, but more importantly, his political preparations have not yet been fully prepared. If he makes trouble, then he really has nothing to do.

And to be honest, Barty Crouch Jr.'s ability is really much higher than Peter Pettigrew.

He is bold and careful, and he has all the basic wizarding abilities. In addition to casting the Unforgivable Curse in the hall, which proved his extraordinary attainments in magic spells, his act of stealing the African tree snake skin from Snape's collection It explained that he made the compound potion himself, and Potions was not bad either.

There is another piece of evidence, that is, he got 12 "Owl (.W.Ls)" wizarding certificates when he was studying at Hogwarts, and he even took Muggle studies and divination courses-you know, Lian He Mindu only took 0.

If these can only prove that he has rich theoretical knowledge and may not be excellent in actual combat, then the Moody he pretended to have even fooled Dumbledore is a perfect proof of his actual combat ability—this is not Bella, Duo What a simple combat fanatic like Lokhov can do.

If his abilities in spells, potions, and combat are tricky enough, his ability to gather and use intelligence is equally compelling.

Just relying on the information in the mind of a low-level Ministry of Magic employee, he was able to draw up a detailed plan for Voldemort to capture Harry Potter, and successfully succeeded in hiding it from Dumbledore. So much in the middle may cause accidents All the errors were corrected by him, and this execution ability should not be underestimated.

Of course, what worried Lockhart the most was Barty Crouch Jr.'s proficiency in politics.

He was born in a pure-blood family and received his father's strict elite education. It can be said that he knows the tricks in politics very well. When he made a plan for Voldemort to capture Potter, he considered all aspects.

Lockhart has reason to suspect that the political decisions Voldemort made after his resurrection were actually the "inheritance" left by Barty Jr. Like someone who knows how to use politics to resolve disputes.

Only those who have received systematic political education can understand how to use the "big trend" to achieve their own goals. Lockhart is very convinced of this.

In the end, the key to making Barty Jr. a serious concern to Lockhart was that he was shameless enough. Lockhart even felt that the thickness of this person's skin was almost half as thick as his own.

Barty Jr. can pretend to be innocent and sell miserably in court in order to avoid punishment, even if the evidence is conclusive, in order to win the sympathy of his father and the jury

Pity, this kind of thing is really not something that ordinary shameless people can do-you see, Bella is holding her neck hard for the sake of dignity?

If Barty Crouch Sr. knew that his son was so "excellent", I'm afraid he would not be very relieved. He cultivated an excellent heir, but in the end he took advantage of Voldemort because he neglected his son's mental health.

Just like all "tiger dads" and "tiger mothers", Barty Crouch is very strict with his son's education. It can be said that little Barty grew up under his father's high-pressure education since he was a child.

Although he also learned a lot of knowledge and governance skills because of this, and even gained a lot of knowledge and contacts through the status of the Crouch family, but these did not help him become a healthy person.

Because he has neither the motivation to learn nor the means to relieve stress, so in the process of growing up, he is destined to be confused, hesitant and dissatisfied, just like being forced by his parents to study hard in a small town for college entrance examination. Same as the writers.

Moreover, unlike those educated youth whose parents are not highly educated and who study hard for a while and can soon enjoy a sense of accomplishment beyond their parents, Barty Jr.’s father himself is a man who is proficient in multiple languages, has superb political skills and is well-informed. Man, no matter how hard he studies, he won't be able to break free from his father's shadow for a while

Although his mother is quite considerate, it is old Batty who makes decisions in this family, and old Batty's strength cannot be detached for a long time.In this depressive environment for too long, people will naturally find ways to transfer their stress to other things.

For example, classmates, such as small animals, and all groups and creatures that are disadvantaged compared to him, Little Barty gradually became a sadist step by step.

He would not thank his father for his ability, he would only think that it was old Batty who gave him

He has brought pain to himself, and he will "infer other things from one instance", under the guidance of Hobbes' theory, turn everyone in the world into "the powerful party" and "the dominated party"

People like Barty Jr. are not alone. As far as Lockhart knows, there are Brian Blackwell and Karen Garner on the Muggle side, and there are no cases in foreign countries such as the United States and China. Few are caused by improper family education.

And when the psychopath has reached this point, Barty Jr. can be said to be hopeless.He will eventually "recognize the thief as his father", and it is inevitable that he will regard Voldemort as his real father.

Obviously, Voldemort would not hate this little guy who was becoming more and more evil in nature, and it could even be said that he admired it too much. I am afraid that he did not treat Bella and Snape so heartily to little Barty.

For example, Voldemort killed his father, few people knew about it, even Bellatrix didn't know about it, she still thought Voldemort was a pure blood wizard.

But Barty Crouch Jr. knew that Voldemort was a half-breed, and this alone could show that he was trusted far more than others.

Little Barty not only knew that Voldemort was a half-blood wizard, but even knew that he had killed his father, Old Riddle.

However, this did not make Barty Jr. realize his mistake. On the contrary, he admired Voldemort even more because of this, and he also used his behavior as an example, planning to try it himself one day.

Combining the above factors, although Lockhart thinks it is understandable that Barty Jr. will become what he is now, he does not sympathize with him.And as long as he meets Barty Jr., he will definitely wipe out the memory in his mind on the spot, and won't even give the Ministry of Magic a chance to send him to Azkaban.

Because from now on, Azkaban is no longer safe, and sending people there is nothing more than building blocks for Voldemort, and Lockhart would rather put a hundred pettigrews in Voldemort.

Old Demon was not willing to let a little Batty go.

Gemma thought that Lockhart's purpose was to keep his position, but what Lockhart didn't tell her was that what he really wanted to deal with was Barty Jr.

If dealing with Voldemort is the task of Dumbledore and Harry, then Barty Crouch Jr. is the task Lockhart left for himself.
