Chapter 136 Weird Father and Son
Percy also accompanied his father back to the Ministry of Magic, because he just happened to hand over the Crucible Report to Mr. Crouch.
Chen Bin also smiled when he heard the name. The Crouch couple and their son were also three strange flowers.
First of all, the name of the father and son is also Bartemius, or Barty for short. In daily conversation, you need to understand which Barty is referring to after the context, such as: Mr. Crouch's son, Barty's father, that guy's son, his father, etc., and you won't add "Old Barty" and "Little Barty", and English will not add Senior and Junior to the name.
Is this naming method a pitfall? Is it unusual? It is indeed uncommon, but not unusual. The predecessor of the American black commander-in-chief had the same name as his father. The difference is that his father's middle name is Herbert Walker, and his son is Walker, which is almost exactly the same. He is the commander-in-chief, so he adds a Junior in formal occasions, or calls him together with the middle name W., and he will not make a special distinction in normal occasions.
Therefore, the puzzle of this year is that Sirius confirmed at the beginning that Barty Jr. had already died in Azkaban, and no one would pay attention to the name of the dead. Now, the small boss of this year has laid the groundwork.
In the end, in order to save this weird son, his weird mother begged her weird husband to cooperate with her to steal the day - the mother entered Azkaban and used the Polyjuice Potion to change herself into the appearance of her son, and then let the son change into her appearance, and then let the father take him back home.
The weird mother died in prison to save her Death Eater son. According to the timeline, after the weird son was rescued after being imprisoned for about a year, he was controlled by his father's Imperius Curse for at least ten years, and was locked up at home and guarded by the house elf Winky, but Winky obeyed the weird son to a certain extent.
This created a bug - the house elf obeyed the orders of the master and the requirements of the young master, so accidents were bound to happen.
Barty Jr. wanted to watch the game, so Barty Sr. asked him to put on an invisible cloak and accept Winky's supervision before he could go.
As a result, Barty the Younger stole Harry's wand and shot out the Dark Mark, scaring the former Death Eaters who were creating chaos to flee. They turned against Voldemort after the war and were not caught in Azkaban, so they were more afraid of the Dark Lord's real return and the appearance of the Dark Mark than ordinary people.
At this time, it was Pettigrew who tricked Bertha Jorkins into the forest and tortured her with the Cruciatus Curse to make her confess the information about the Triwizard Tournament. At the same time, it was learned that the Death Eater Barty the Younger was secretly imprisoned at home by Barty the Older. Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew came to Crouch's house and forcibly released Barty the Younger, and controlled Barty the Older with the Imperius Curse.
This summer, Barty the Younger and Peter Pettigrew should have worked together to subdue Alastor Moody, the retired Auror employed by Hogwarts, and locked him in his own magic box, and then used Polyjuice Potion to let Barty the Younger Crouch pretend to be Moody and come to Hogwarts to serve as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Then, the fake Moody used a spell to confuse the Goblet of Fire and put Harry's name in it, becoming the fourth champion.
With Harry's original strength, he might not even pass the first level of the competition, but the fake Moody secretly helped him get the trophy, so that he was transported to the resurrection ceremony by the trophy that became a portkey to provide blood as the resurrection material, and finally Voldemort was resurrected.
In the original plot, Harry saw the Marauder's Map and Barty Crouch's name was clearly over Snape's room, but he couldn't imagine how the old-fashioned Barty would sneak around the professor's room. This Barty is the young Barty pretending to be Moody. He is not wandering around, but trying to break into the storage room in Snape's office to steal the materials for the compound potion.
Now there are multiple problems.
First, Pettigrew is dead, but now there is a strong wizard who has become Voldemort's helper. Then, Jorkins is still missing, that is, she is still trapped by Voldemort's trick. Finally, old Barty may be killed now, or he may kill the strong wizard in return, mainly depending on whether Voldemort has obtained a temporary body.
Chen Bin believes that there is a greater chance that old Barty is controlled by the Imperius Curse, because from Isabel's description, Harry saw the strong wizard reconciled with Voldemort in his dream.
In order to confirm whether he was subdued, we can only look at Moody's confession.
Dumbledore had already finished reading the fourth episode, and Chen Bin had handed him the remaining five to seven episodes at the end of last semester. After reading the original book, old Dumbledore certainly didn't want his old friend to be locked alive in a box for a year.
Therefore, when he hired Moody, he had already agreed with him that if Barty Jr. and his group came to his residence to capture him alive, Moody would set up a false self-immolation in front of them and leave a bunch of hair at the scene so that Barty Jr. could pretend to be Moody.
Chen Bin once questioned whether Polyjuice Potion must use fresh hair?
Old Dumbledore's answer was full of gay love: "Aaron, you underestimate Tom. If this is still difficult to get him, the world will call him the Dark Lord in vain. They kidnapped Moody just to better imitate his behavior."
Who said Dumbledore is right because he has a big fist? Chen Bin's doubts will not affect Old Dumbledore's decision.
Chen Bin believes that Voldemort in this period of time is the easiest to deal with. As long as you find a way to trap him in a simple body, you can solve the problem once and for all. Dumbledore believes that this is not safe, and the Death Eaters hidden in the magic world are always a disaster.
It’s still the old saying: Who says Dumbledore’s big fist is justified? Since he wanted to keep Voldemort and the Death Eaters loyal to him together, and also wanted to kill Voldemort completely, he had to kill the big snake Nagini together.
With such a huge amount of calculation, Chen Bin of course gave up and let the old man calculate it alone, while he himself spent this summer vacation easily.
After breakfast, Chen Bin set up a tent for Isha and Mr. Weasley in the corner of the garden.
"Now Arthur has really become the old guard next door." Chen Bin muttered while working.
Isha, who was standing next to him, had his eyes hanging upside down. "Binbin is itchy again?"
(,,з,,`): "Dad! Mom is threatening the old guard next door..."
Chen Bin's mouth was covered by Yisha.
: "Dear, nothing happened. Right, Binbin?"
Chen Weiguo: "(ω`)?"
Next, Harry dragged Chen Bin and Kate to Ron's room to discuss his scar pain and strange dreams last Saturday.
Hermione and Ron were one with him and of course were there to listen.
Yisha followed Ginny to visit the Burrow, and Chen Weiguo went to work after setting up the tent, so no one disturbed their discussion for the time being.
"I just remember that they were plotting to kill...someone." Harry still didn't say that Voldemort planned to murder him.
Chen Bin and Kate compared in their minds how different what they said to Harry was from the original plot, until Harry said hesitantly: "...Professor Trelawney entered a hypnotic state, a real hypnotic state. What did she say about being locked? The forbidden servant would have saved him, but something was stolen by the thief of fate, giving him a stronger servant, more powerful and terrifying than the original fate, and his powerful enemy is the July Boy, but not necessarily. Can kill him, because fate no longer protects the boy, and fate is no longer protected from prying eyes. It may be that the boy kills him or he takes the world by storm."
"Harry, are you the July Boy?" Ron said excitedly.
"I don't know, but I hope it's not me." Harry shook his head and then looked at Chen Bin. "If it's a boy, Bincai is the most likely. He is also more powerful than any other student."
"Impossible." Hermione immediately said negatively: "Bin was born on April 2nd, there is no way he is the July boy in the prophecy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Hermione with strange eyes.
Chen Bin has never said his birthday. Even if his friends want to give him birthday gifts, they don't know when to give them to him.
It's not that Chen Bin wants to be mysterious, but he is used to treating the birth date in his previous life as his birthday, so he naturally ignores the birthday date in this life.
"Did you tell her?" Kate asked with her eyes.
Chen Bin responded by rolling his eyes: "I didn't."
Their expressions couldn't escape Hermione's eyes.
She blushed slightly and immediately changed the subject: "Yes, Harry. Have you told Sirius about the scar and the dream?"
"No." Harry touched the scar and shook his head. "He said in his last letter that he was very busy with training. He fell asleep and woke up to train. So, I plan to ask him after school starts."
"That's fine." Ron agreed casually, and then suggested: "Harry, let's have a Quidditch match in the garden. Four people versus four people, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Both Bin and Kate can participate...you can also try the Wronski fake..."
"Ron!" Hermione stared at him with an idiot look. "Harry doesn't want to play Quidditch right now... He's very upset and tired... We all need to go to bed..."
However, Harry disappointed her. "Let's have a fight! I'll get my Firebolt."
Hermione muttered: "These boys!"
Ron went downstairs and shouted "Quidditch", but to his surprise, the first person to pop up was Isabelle. She already had the Firebolt that Chen Bin bought last semester in her hand.
Chen Bin has no love for Quidditch, so his place was replaced by Pretty Mom.
As a result, the game became a catcher's showdown, as Isha and Kate's goalkeeping abilities were off the charts, much better than even professional athletes.
The game ended with Harry catching the Golden Snitch. 150:0, no one scored.
Bill couldn't shoot through Isha's defense at all, and said helplessly: "Sister Isha, why are you so strong?"
Everyone also landed on the ground, all talking around Isabel.
Chen Bin took out a bunch of bottled juices from the travel refrigerator and handed them to everyone sitting in front of the tent. "She is a crazy Quidditch fan. She has a utility room in her house full of Quidditch supplies. She asked me to buy that Firebolt last year, and I only rode it once during Harry's game."
(*/ Chaser, Beater and Seeker.”
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Fortunately, Kate hadn't drank the juice yet, otherwise Chen Bin would have been sprayed in the face by the person opposite like Harry and Ron.
Charlie widened his eyes and said: "I remembered! You are the catcher who finished the game the fastest in school history! One year when playing against Slytherin, Gryffindor's catcher took seven seconds to catch the ball. The opponent didn't even organize their attack well and lost 150-0."
*ω`*: "That year she just became the catcher, but Draco's father spread the word that Gryffindor had no one left, so he hired a second-year girl as the catcher, so I asked all the students in the house to go home and reflect on themselves."
Everyone was sweating when they heard this, they didn't expect this naive sister to have such a tough side.
