Chapter 269 Snape Is Not the only One Who Is Good at Making up Stories.

In fact.

Just when Snape thought he had control of the situation and completely began to dig out the truth from Barty Crouch Sr., he had completely fallen into a trap.

Barty Crouch Sr. took Snape back to the living room, sat him on a chair in the living room, and calmly told his story.

This is a sad story.

"To me, Death Eaters are scum that must be cleaned up."

Old Barty Crouch elaborated his theory seriously, and he still insists on his idea: "Every Death Eater must be eliminated, and I must do this..."

Barty Crouch Sr. pondered for a few seconds before continuing: "A group of madmen who kill innocent people think that with Voldemort's back, they can kill people without restraint. Every dark mark that lights up indicates that A whole family died tragically in your hands..."

"A two-year-old child..."

"Newlyweds in their twenties..."

"Old men who are ninety or even a hundred years old..."

"For you, life is so cheap that it's only worth a curse."

"I will definitely clean up all Death Eaters."

Barty Crouch Sr. held his chin, and his expression gradually became calmer and calmer: "Even my son, when I think of him waving a magic wand and wantonly trampling on the dignity and lives of others, he no longer It’s my child…”

"so…"

"When Karkaroff personally identified Barty as a Death Eater, I imprisoned him in Azkaban. I did not defend him in any way. I even hoped that he would die there..."

"This will also preserve the dignity of the Crouch family."

"But my lady..."

"She has been watching Buddy grow up since she was a child. She is the one who loves Buddy the most. She also spoiled Buddy rotten. She begged me to rescue Buddy..."

"She is the most important person in my life..."

"There is no one more important than my wife in this world."

"She begged me with her own life. She was seriously ill and couldn't be cured. I couldn't watch her die sadly in front of me..."

"so…"

When Old Barty Crouch talked about his wife, his eyes gradually turned red, and even this man who had always been strong in his life couldn't help crying: "I can only do this, she drank the polyjuice potion, she Let me exchange Barty back from Azkaban, I am willing to give everything for her..."

"everything…"

"..."

Snape felt his heart aching.

In fact, Snape had no special feelings for Mrs. Crouch's motherly love. What touched him a little was Barty Crouch Sr.'s love for his wife. He thought of Dumbledore's questions to him...

that time…

Dumbledore asked him how much he was willing to pay for Lily.

His answer is simple.

everything.

Everything he has.

"I followed her dying wish."

Barty Crouch Sr. did not wipe his tears, but continued seriously: "I brought Barty back from Azkaban, and I kept him at home, as if I was hiding him in my own home. It's like casting a blasting spell..."

"Barty..."

"Everything could explode at any time."

"His appearance will destroy the reputation of the entire Crouch family, and will destroy all the beauty and reputation left by my lover..."

"To hide all this..."

"I had to adopt a child at that time..."

"Wesson Wright..."

"That's a little guy with a bit of magical talent..."

"After I adopted him, I gave that child the love that a father should be able to give, making everyone think that I took that child as my sustenance. I was worried that others would notice that my son was still alive...my damn My son is still alive..."

Old Batty was a little dull when he said this. He seemed to really not want to mention this topic, but he had to say it.

seem…

Let people see it…

He was also feeling guilty in his heart for the impure purpose of adopting Wesen.

However…

Only the heart of Barty Crouch Sr. knows...

From this moment on, his life and destiny changed, and now he was going to start lying to Snape: "That child Wesson did a good job. His appearance made everyone think that we sympathized with the real father and son. , He is also an excellent child..."

"..."

Snape nodded silently beside him.

Snape actually admitted this in his heart.

After all, that little guy Wesson has been quiet in school, but his magical talent is really powerful. Now the whole Hogwarts probably knows that Wesson will definitely be an excellent and powerful Auror...

However, Snape quickly raised a question. He frowned slightly and said, "Wesson Wright, do you know that Barty is still alive?"

"..."

Old Barty Crouch was silent for a moment, slowly shook his head, and nodded again: "Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't know... Ever since he entered Hogwarts, sometimes when he returns home during the holidays, he often Looking around the house, it seems that the wizard is curious about the secret. I am not sure whether he has discovered Barty’s secret..."

This is in accordance with Wesson's request...

Make the little guy Wesen into the Horcrux of the Dark Lord Peter.

Regarding the matter of "Wesen is a Horcrux", I originally told Dumbledore...

Because only this reason can make Dumbledore think of the secret of why the Dark Lord Peter discovered that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive, and lead to the next story...

Unfortunately…

Snape also happened to know that Wesen was Peter Pettigrew's Horcrux.

"Maybe you should..."

Snape's fingers caressed his cheek. There were obviously some unfinished words in his words, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his teeth.

should…

kill him!

Kill that kid!

As long as you kill that child, you can clean up one of Peter Pettigrew's Horcruxes, thus eliminating any possibility of Peter Pettigrew's resurrection!

Snape came up with this idea as if grass was growing in his heart, because Peter Pettigrew was the most hated enemy in his life, and he wanted to kill everything related to Peter!

but…

That's his student...

The weeds growing in Snape's heart were slowly burned by him. He slowly swallowed those unfinished words and continued calmly: "It should be that not long ago, the Dark Lord Peter discovered that Barty was still alive. A secret, right?”

"..."

Old Barty Crouch's face showed a hint of surprise at the right time, as if he was still a little curious about why Snape knew about this!

"Go on."

A mocking smile flashed across Snape's lips.

It seems that Old Barty Crouch doesn't care much about the Wesson child. Otherwise, he should probably notice that something is wrong with the child and find out all about it...

But at that time...

Wesen has been made into a Horcrux by Peter.

As long as Peter Pettigrew, the owner of the Horcrux, is willing, he can read the thoughts in Wesen's brain through the mark of the Horcrux, thereby detecting Wesen's affairs, and even pretending to be Wesen will not reveal any flaws...

It was precisely because Wesen became a Horcrux that Peter Pettigrew discovered the secret that Barty was still alive, but the old Barty Crouch in front of him knew nothing about it...

This irresponsible adoptive father...

After all, I still paid a heavy price because of a child.

However, Barty Crouch Sr. still showed his ignorance. He frowned and continued: "I don't know how Peter found out... Maybe he has been eyeing me for a long time... Maybe I exposed myself somewhere. What's the flaw..."

"but…"

"He did find it."

"I had to pay a price for keeping the secret that Barty was still alive, and similarly, I wouldn't want to pay a price for a scumbag among wizards."

"I am always ready to see Dumbledore, and I am always ready to tell Dumbledore that Barty is still alive and that Peter is targeting me..."

"but…"

"The Dark Lord Peter seems to know this very well..."

"The guy who calls himself the third generation Dark Lord didn't use this secret to threaten me for doing anything for him. He even said it was to thank me for visiting his mother and sending him to fake death for his mother. The remains left behind…”

Barty Crouch Sr. was very calm when he said this. It seemed that he felt that he was living a very peaceful life at that time and did not feel nervous after his secret was known.

"However…"

Old Barty Crouch's tone still changed, and his face gradually became serious: "Until one day, he found me. He hoped to become my safe house secret keeper and guard Barty. The safehouse secret keeper…”

"What an irony of fate..."

There was an ugly sarcasm on Snape's lips.

The entire wizarding world knows that Peter Pettigrew is the most unreliable safe house's secret keeper. As long as that bastard becomes the safe house's secret keeper...

So…

It's no longer safe.

"I thought he was just trying to get a handle on me."

Barty Crouch Sr. slowly clenched his fists, stretched out his fists to cover his mouth, and continued in a deep voice: "But... I also want to deal with him... so I am around the safe house. Many traps were laid..."

"Some Muggle warfare gadgets..."

"These gadgets are simply too deadly for careless wizards. I want to use these gadgets to solve Peter's hidden danger..."

"Because I guess..."

"He will definitely want to come to the safe house to meet Barty..."

"However, my guess was wrong. I don't know when he hid in my house or even in the safe house. Maybe he already knew these secrets..."

"..."

Snape's expression remained unchanged.

When Wesson Wright becomes Peter Pettigrew's Horcrux, this house has no absolute secrets for Peter. As long as Peter is willing, he can explore all the traps in this house through the Wesson kid...

When Old Barty Crouch was talking about his trap, his eyes finally fell on his house elf: "The next thing is tonight... My house elf, Winky, it saw you Bringing Voldemort to my home..."

"..."

Snape was speechless.

Apparently.

He knew it must not be him.

Snape could sense that he had not been hit by the Imperius Curse or the Oblivion Curse at all. It could only be that Peter Pettigrew had turned into his own appearance!

because…

Peter Pettigrew always wanted the Polyjuice Potion!

I want a Polyjuice Potion that can turn me into Snape!

Snape immediately deduced part of the truth. Peter Pettigrew must have turned into himself, and used the news that Barty Crouch Jr. was still alive to coax Voldemort, who he found from nowhere, to come here...

"..."

Snape finally realized the most important point!

Although he still didn't know when Voldemort was resurrected, he figured out why the elf saw him bringing Voldemort here!

Voldemort, who didn't know how to be resurrected, was tricked into coming here!

Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew started a big battle, but ended up dying together in a trap set by Barty Crouch Sr. This is the most important part of the whole story.

Now…

The most important doubt is solved.

"It seems I probably know everything."

Snape's expression became more and more calm. He looked at Old Barty Crouch and continued softly: "The next thing I want to know is what happened when you saw me?"
