The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

Chapter 188 Strange Crouch

The protection here is tighter than he imagined. With this small knife in his hand, he is not afraid of any locks. The only thing he has to worry about is not to trigger the alarm-like magic circle.

The easiest way to quickly find hidden secrets is to look for the most heavily guarded places.Compared with inertial thinking, Sirius believes in his Animagus more, and his keen sense of smell will tell him which room is often visited by the owner.

After becoming Dahei, he was surprised by a familiar smell that should not appear here. The familiar smell reminded him of his prison life in Azkaban. The same musty smell, the difference is that the one here is lighter... ·

"Okay, today's meeting ends here. I'm not feeling well recently," Crouch looked at the staff in the meeting room, "Wesby stays here, and the others can go out first."

The staff looked at each other and left the conference room with a smile. It seemed that Mr. Director was seriously ill. Percy Weasley had been employed for half a year, and his surname was still being called wrong, but the other party obviously didn't care about this, and the excited look seemed to be It's almost out of novelty.

"Mr. Crouch! Are you alright?" Percy looked worried, Mr. Crouch's complexion was really bad, his pale face was full of fatigue.

"Wesby, I have something very important to tell you," Crouch's eyes were bloodshot, but his tone was forceful, "You have to find it yourself..."

"Mr. Crouch!" Percy excitedly held Crouch's hand, and the other party was about to hand over the burden to him again. This time it was still a crucial matter, but Crouch trembled only halfway through his words. He stopped talking, "Who are you looking for? Don't worry, Wesby will help you find that person! You can always trust Wesby!"

"Phew, sorry, Wesby, I was a little uncomfortable just now," Crouch let out a long breath, as if suddenly getting rid of some kind of shackles, and his tone became more relaxed, "I'm not looking for someone, I recently May take some time off, we can communicate via owl."

"Sir! You can rest at ease, I will tell you the daily work content through the owl," Percy tried to suppress the joy in his heart, Mr. Crouch rested at home, then he would take over all his work, Mr. Crouch is How much trusted his Wesby?

"Do well, I will take a period of sick leave, maybe I will retire soon?" Crouch put his hands on the conference table, stood up with difficulty, shook his head, and walked towards the door of the conference room.

"Mr. Crouch, you just need to rest for a while, and you will definitely get better. You are the best candidate for the Minister of Magic. In my heart, no one is more suitable for that position than you!"

Percy's firm tone made Crouch stop, and he began to tremble again, and Percy hurried forward to help him.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired from the Death Eater incident last time." Crouch patted Percy's hand, signaling that he didn't need help himself.

Percy watched Crouch go farther and farther, full of fighting spirit. From now on, he—Percy Weasley, will replace the director in charge of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department.

"Oh~ Batty, don't come to the Ministry of Magic if you don't feel well. Apply for sick leave?" Fudge looked at Crouch in front of him and smiled, "Of course it's no problem. Your body is more important than your work."

"Sorry, Minister, this sick leave may be a bit long, I have already arranged all the work," Crouch looked at Fudge, waiting for him to sign the application, he trembled from time to time, and his expression became very strange, sometimes calm , sometimes ferocious.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Barty, it looks like you're really sick," Fudge took out a quill to write his name on the application, and handed it to Crouch. Fudge moved the parchment back as the parchment was being rolled.

"Your complexion looks very bad, do you want me to help you to St. Mungo's?" The smile on Fudge's face became even stronger, "As your boss and your old friend, I can help you with this .”

"I'm just a little tired, just take a rest." Crouch's eyes moved quickly on the parchment and Fudge's face, he held his right hand with his left hand to prevent his right hand from taking the sick leave application of parchment.

"Haha!" Fudge laughed, stood up, stuffed the parchment on his right hand, and closed his fingers tightly, "Hurry up and go back to rest, Batty, I have to say, your willpower makes me Somewhat impressive."

After Fudge finished speaking, he slapped his hands, and two expressionless Aurors walked into the minister's office and pushed Crouch out.

Crouch, who left the Ministry of Magic, was completely different from just now, and now he has become normal again. After performing Apparation, he returned to Crouch Mansion.

Before he entered the house, he heard the cry of the house elf Shining, and he walked quickly into the house.

"Master! Winky is useless! Winky is useless! It's all Winky's fault!" the house-elf was crying, which made Crouch very upset.

"Shut up! What's going on?" Crouch grabbed Shining Shining who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing, staring at it, "Tell me quickly!"

"Utility room! Master! The trap door in the utility room has been opened again! Ah!" Crouch fell to the ground as soon as Winky finished speaking. Regardless of the pain in her body, Winky quickly got up and followed Owner.

The entire floor of the utility room was broken, and the trap door leading to the basement turned into a big hole. After Barty Crouch Jr. escaped, the place was completely sealed off. The current situation is obviously It was blown up again with a spell.

"Trash! Winky! You are a complete trash!" Crouch growled angrily at Winky, he pulled out his wand and pointed at Winky, the red light on the tip of the wand flickered again and again, and suddenly trembled.

"Master! Are you alright? It's all because of Winky! It's all about Winky!" Seeing Crouch slumped on the ground trembling, Winky was even more annoyed at what she had done. It was because she failed to protect the young master and she was unable to get him back. The young master caused the secret room at home to be exposed again.

"Winky, come here!" Panting, Crouch kicked off his shoes, took off his socks with his left hand, and pointed at Winky with his right hand still holding the wand.

"No!~Master! Don't treat Winky like this!" Crouch understood when he took off his shoes, "Winky don't leave Master!"

"Take your socks and get out of here forever," his tone became weak. "Listen, Shining, get out of here and live well. This is an order. Are you going to disobey my order?"

"Xingying will not disobey the master's order! Winning..." Winning took the socks, still remorseful in her heartbreak, sobbing and turning into a puff of smoke.

The red spell shot out from the wand in Crouch's hand, scattering the puff of smoke. He stood up, cast the spell on the floor of the utility room expressionlessly, and a large amount of dust stirred up , filled the entire room, but Crouch remained unmoved and continued to cast the spell...
