HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

Chapter 119 Mr. Crouch’s Son



Soon, under the forced oppression of George and Fred, Qiu Zhang was literally carried to the basement by the two of them.

Looking at George and Fred who had nothing to do, Qiu Zhang couldn't help asking resentfully, "Aren't you going to class?"

"It was supposed to be an elective course. We failed a lot of subjects and couldn't take advanced courses, plus we dropped out of a few elective subjects, so we have more free time!"

"That's right, we are not like you, a busy person, who wants to learn everything we can!"

Well, the two people's complaints were not unreasonable. Qiu Zhang was really busy and dizzy. With the worries these days, she had to consider dropping some elective courses in seventh grade...

"Then what are you going to do later?"

"What? Do you need us to do an experiment?" George answered immediately, with an excited expression on his face, as if he was already a little eager to try it.

"No, just ask..." Qiu Zhang raised the corners of her lips in embarrassment, stretched out her fingers and poked George's chest, pushing out a large section of George, who was almost excitedly close to her.

"Let's go to the kitchen to have a big meal later, and then go to Hogward Village for a stroll..." Fred actively talked about the plans for Qiu Zhang later, and the smile on his face seemed to be unstoppable. Already left campus.

"Hogward Village, now is not..." (not on holiday yet)

Qiu Zhang suddenly realized something when he suddenly thought of something. Sure enough, he was really going to faint from work. He actually forgot about the secret passage in the Whomping Willow...

"Then you have fun!" Qiu Zhang patted George and Fred on the shoulders, nodded supportively, and then slightly arched his eyebrows and smiled at them.

Fred was about to smile back at her happily when he was suddenly pulled back by George. He turned around and saw Cedric coming over.

"You guys have fun, I'm going to take a hard lesson!"

Qiu Zhang sighed helplessly, envious of the two of them for the first time. When Cedric approached, he entered the potions classroom with him.

……

After a busy day of classes, Qiu Zhang finally returned to the Ravenclaw lounge to rest.

In the lounge, everyone was lively and having fun. Qiu Zhang sank deeply into the soft single sofa and almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, the name Crouch who appeared on the Marauder's Map last time came to mind again...

No, after all, I still can't pretend not to know...

Qiu Zhang sat up suddenly, startling the people who were chatting and playing games.

"What's wrong?" Marietta asked tentatively, looking at Qiu Zhang with eyes full of hesitation and worry.

After all, Cho Chang's behavior was not normal today, and Marietta was thinking that she might have to take her to the hospital wing to give Madam Pomfrey a good look.

"Mary, what do you know about the name Crow...Barty Crouch?" Qiu Zhang looked up hesitantly and asked.

"Are you talking about Mr. Crouch? I have always thought he was quite good, and his parents also praised him highly. Thinking about it, he was once the person most likely to become the Minister of Magic..."

"The most promising?...Then what happened to make him lose this opportunity?" Qiu Zhang seemed to have noticed some key clues, seizing this point and staring at Marietta closely to ask.

"Yes, why are you here..." Marietta seemed to be discouraged and knocked her head as if trying to remember something.

"I just remember that I overheard my dad chatting with his friends, and it seemed like it was something disgraceful..."

"Ahem..." Several eye-catching coughs attracted the attention of Qiu Zhang and others. Lilian slowly put down the newspaper in her hand, and her shrewd eyes were clearly conveyed to Qiu through her thick round glasses. open.

"OK..." Qiu Zhang thought she understood. Looking at Lilian's pretending to be serious, Qiu Zhang showed a sneer on his face and patiently cooperated with her.

"Then Lilian, what do you have in mind?"

"Of course...don't you know that Barty Crouch is not just Mr. Crouch's name? His son Barty Crouch Jr. has the same name as him!"

"Barty Crouch Jr...." Qiu Zhang whispered the name back and forth in his mouth, feeling an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Crouch's son, I think I've heard of it..." Luke scratched his head, trying to remember something.

"You were still very young at that time... not to mention such secret things that are not good for Mr. Crouch's image. Think about it and know that your parents will not gossip with you..."

Lilian's words were clear and logical, but one thing still made Qiu Zhang doubtful.

"So what is it? And Lillian, why do you know?" Qiu Zhang asked quickly, looking at Lillian longingly.

Marietta and Luke also had gossipy expressions on their faces, looking at Lillian hoping to hear some interesting and shocking gossip.

"You should really thank me for my habit of collecting newspapers...wait!" Lilian said as she turned around and ran down the spiral staircase into the dormitory, and soon came over with two large stacks of cardboard boxes.

Luke immediately and actively went over to help Lillian take the box. Whether it was a simple gentleman's behavior or someone who couldn't wait to read the gossip, I don't know...

Soon, Lillian searched back along the timeline and quickly found the Daily Prophet about the verdict in 1981.

"Give!"

Lillian took out the newspaper and laid it flat on the table. Qiu Zhang and Luke Marie immediately gathered around and looked at the newspaper in a tacit understanding.

I saw a few big words written clearly on the front page:

"Killing relatives out of justice!! Crouch's son, who is most likely to become the Minister of Magic, is a Death Eater?!!!"

The photo in the middle of the newspaper shows a pale man with a crazy look in his eyes, struggling against the control of the Ministry of Magic personnel and yelling at Mr. Crouch on the stage.

And that young, thin and pale man must be the so-called Barty Crouch Jr....

Since the photo is an animated picture, when little Barty was struggling and twisting viciously, his eyes unintentionally glanced towards the camera, and happened to meet the eyes of Qiu Zhang outside the newspaper. His eyes were bloodthirsty and crazy, and he smiled maliciously. Smiling meaningfully, Qiu Zhang almost instantly thought of Professor "Moody" who was currently at Hogwarts. . .

Qiu Zhang was so frightened that he took a step back and collapsed on the sofa. Luke and Mary were gossiping and immersed in the newspaper stories. Only Lillian on the side seemed to look at Qiu Zhang with doubtful and worried eyes. His face was a little pale. .
