Chapter 237 Please Forgive A Hufflepuff For Being Too Honest
For most people, they have their own weaknesses.
Dumbledore's weakness is his family, Grindelwald's weakness is Dumbledore.
Voldemort's weakness is death.
In fact, Wayne is no exception. He actually has quite a few weaknesses. Uncle Humphrey, Hermione's children, and even close friends can all affect him.
It's just that he is strong enough to protect his weaknesses.
Crouch also has his own weakness, that is his deceased wife.
Logically speaking, a person who can personally send his own son to Azkaban and be sentenced to life imprisonment should be a ruthless character who is indifferent to emotions.
In fact, Crouch is indeed like this, he has the wisdom of Ravenclaw and the ambition of Slytherin.
But the only soft spot in my heart is my wife.
That's why he took the risk and agreed to his wife's last wish.
Bring little Barty back, keep him at home all day, and use the Imperius Curse to control his actions.
Little Barty's life is not important, but his wife paid for it with her life, so it becomes special.
Wayne also accurately grasped the user's pain points, causing Crouch's inner defense to completely collapse.
"I promised you..." Crouch said coldly: "As long as you give me Voldemort's Horcrux and let me destroy it, no matter what you want me to do."
"Don't say it so harshly." Wayne frowned: "Say it as if I'm forcing you to commit a crime."
"You're just using your connections to win over some Ministry of Magic officials. Is there any need to be heroic?"
Crouch said quietly: "Your situation was called rebellion in ancient times..."
"Wrong, just the Minister of Magic." Wayne said sarcastically: "It's just a matter of trying to bring order to chaos."
Crouch said nothing more and just asked Wayne to release him from Renren.
"Wait a mininute."
Wayne placed his palm on Crouch's head, and the stars gathered between his eyebrows.
"alright."
The rope automatically untied, and the gravity disappeared. Shining stood behind Crouch timidly.
"What did you do?" Crouch frowned. He didn't feel anything was wrong.
"It's just a small precaution." Wayne opened his palms, and a layer of white light appeared, and Crouch suddenly felt dizzy. .
"If you accidentally betray me, I can blow your head to pieces with just one thought."
"I don't know exactly how far it takes effect. We can give it a try."
"There is absolutely no need for that." Mr. Crouch pressed Wayne's hand seriously: "The Crouch family will do what they say."
"Okay then." Wayne dispersed the white light regretfully.
Well, he was the one who was fooling Crouch just now.
He has not been able to do this method yet. He just placed a zombie guard on his body so that 25B can find his location when needed.
As for why I fainted
It's just a variation of a small fear spell. Anyone who gets hit by it will be stunned.
But Crouch just believes it.
"Let's go meet Mr. Barty Crouch Jr." Wayne suddenly became the owner of the place and gave orders: "I am also quite interested in this so-called most loyal Death Eater."
Twinkle looked at the master hesitantly.
"Lead the way." Crouch ordered.
The three of them came to a wall brick and tapped it twice. The brick opened to both sides like the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, revealing a dim passage.
Passing through the passage, they came to the basement. There was a cave in here. It looked like a complete residence and had all the necessary facilities.
Wayne raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for Winky to lead the way, he came to the iron gate at the edge and stretched out his hand.
Twinkle wanted to remind him, but was stopped by Crouch's stern look.
Zi La La!
Strong sparks burst out, and several mechanisms suddenly appeared in the room, shooting cold arrows at him.
Wayne grasped the door handle as if he didn't realize it. The arrows fell to the ground before they even got close to him, turning into venomous snakes.
Crouch's eyelids jumped wildly.
The little doctor who likes evil methods and has evil teeth.
Isn't this Slytherin style?
"Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to see your son?" Wayne turned around and asked with a smile.
Being stared at by the venomous snakes, Crouch and Winky felt their scalps numb, and the house elf was trembling and at a loss.
Taking a deep breath, Crouch clenched his wand and walked towards Wayne.
Fortunately, those poisonous snakes just stared at them coldly and took no other action.
The three of them walked into the room made entirely of steel, which reminded Wayne of the place where he had imprisoned Nagini.
Inside the house, a man in his thirties was sitting on a chair, eating fruit slowly.
His hair was a bit messy, he was unkempt, and he was only wearing a simple pair of pajamas, which made it impossible for anyone to connect him with the famous genius wizard at Hogwarts.
Back then, Barty Crouch Jr. had obtained twelve OWLs certificates, the same as Percy last year, and his results in NEWTs were enough for him to become an Auror.
Even after being abandoned for so many years, his strength cannot be underestimated.
Just by joining forces with Wormtail, Moody can be subdued. This alone shows his talent.
"Why, you finally couldn't help but come back with your illegitimate child?"
Wayne didn't speak, but Barty Jr. spoke first, speaking contemptuously in a hoarse voice.
Crouch frowned and wanted to say something, but the young man raised his hand to stop him.
boom!
Little Barty was thrown away without warning, hit the wall, and slowly slid to the ground.
The strong impact made him groan in pain, followed by anger.
He wanted to pounce on Wayne, but the wall behind him suddenly opened and closed, swallowing him inside, leaving only his head outside.
Wayne stepped forward.
Snap!
A slap fell on little Barty's face.
"Counting your years, you are already thirty-one this year, right?"
"Didn't your mother teach you to say hello to strangers instead of provoking them?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, you don't have a mother.
Huh! Huh!
In one sentence, both Crouch's breathing became heavy.
"Mr. Lawrence..." Crouch suppressed his anger.
"Sorry." Wayne waved his hand without any apology: "Please forgive a Hufflepuff for being honest."
In an instant, the two Crouches' impression of Hufflepuff became several times worse.
But where is this?
"Forget it if you don't have a mother, why don't you ask your wild father Voldemort for advice?"
"How dare you!" Little Barty roared at Wayne like crazy: "How dare you call the master by his name! How dare you insult him, I will kill you, I must kill you!
"You damn, dirty stinky king!"
"Hufflepuff's worthless wizard, you only deserve to smell the farts of my Lord the Dark Lord!"
Wayne picked his ears disdainfully.
I don't know whether to say that the wizards are of high quality, or that they are not capable enough to defend their parents with the power of words.
Can this also be called swearing?
At the same time, Barty Crouch Sr. was also very angry.
If it weren't for the fact that little Barty had such big psychological fluctuations because of Voldemort, he would have no longer had any expectations for this son.
But because of Wayne's words.
Is it appropriate for you to say that Voldemort is my son's wild father in front of me, my biological father?
Wayne didn't want to pay attention to Little Barty, but he kept shouting louder and louder, which made people annoyed.
In desperation, Wayne could only let him out and stepped on Barty's chest with his eyes glowing red.
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
In an instant, the curses turned into wails [goosebumps spread all over the listeners.
Little Barty was twisting like a maggot on the ground, with snot and tears streaming down his face, and even his lower body...
Wayne picked up his foot in disgust and took two steps back, but did not interrupt the spell.
With the SSS+ level black magic talent [Master Unforgivable Curse], it was as if it was made just for him.
Cutting out bones?
I can also get skin cramps!
Seeing his son in such pain, a trace of unbearability flashed in Crouch's eyes, which was keenly caught by Wayne.
"Mr. Crouch, sometimes spanking a child won't solve anything, like now."
"He has lost his mind in pain, but after he recovers, he will still be Voldemort's loyal dog."
"Since it's useless, why do you still torture him?" Crouch asked angrily.
"Because it's cool." Wayne sighed.
"Spanking a child won't solve his problems, but it can solve your problems. Don't you feel happy seeing him in such misery?"
Crouch fell silent again.
What Wayne said... seems to make sense.
Five minutes later, Barty Crouch Jr. finally stopped screaming and seemed to have fainted, but his body twitched from time to time, recalling the pain just now.
"Okay, let's go." Wayne took a look and walked out of the door.
Crouch is obsessed. You came here just to torture my son without saying anything to him?
But who made (ajdh) Wayne the boss now?
After seeing the various methods just now, some of Crouch's original little thoughts have disappeared.
If the other party can really get Voldemort's Horcrux...
So what's the harm in helping this kid control the Ministry of Magic?
"Take this, and you can talk to Mrs. Greengrass when you go to work tomorrow.
Wayne handed the document to Crouch.
"Greengrass, you actually got in touch with her?" Crouch asked in surprise.
Mrs. Greengrass is a very low-key person in the Ministry of Magic, but she cannot be ignored.
Wayne said succinctly: "That's my mother-in-law."
"No wonder." Crouch muttered in his heart, opened the document, and after a few glances, he became frightened.
This guy means it.
"Two more things." Wayne said softly.
"You said it." Crouch closed the document and said in a deep voice, quickly accepting his role.
"First, for letting your house elf break off the servant relationship with Baddy."
Crouch frowned and looked at him nervously.
"It's not necessary."
"With my orders, Winky won't listen to little Barty's instigation."
"Mr. Crouch." Wayne suddenly smiled, but it made the other two people present shiver.
"I have no further discussion with you."
"I see."
"The second thing..." The young man raised his head slightly: "I have two shops in Diagon Alley. You can take care of them for me. By the way, see if you can help the Auror Office purchase my protective props."
Crouch nodded, "I can't guarantee this, but you can try.
"Don't worry, I believe in the influence of the Crouch family in the Ministry of Magic." Wayne smiled.
The Crouch family is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families and is deeply involved with the Ministry of Magic. Even though Crouch has lost power, his political resources and connections are still there.
Otherwise, Wayne wouldn't have come to our door specially.
In addition to having a handle, this background is also an important reason why Wayne came to give guidance today.
"That's all there is to say." After finishing everything he wanted to do, Wayne stood up and returned to being a gentle and handsome young man, nodding politely.
"I'm really sorry for delaying Mr. Crouch for so long. I'll take the first step."
"If you want to contact me, you can activate the brand, or you can contact Mrs. Greengrass."
"Of course, if there is any task that you need to complete, I will come to you."
After saying that, he disappeared silently.
"..."
After confirming that Wayne was really gone, Winky finally lowered her guard, and the pillowcase on her body was soaked with sweat.
"Twinkle." Crouch looked at it seriously: "From now on, Barty Crouch Jr. is no longer your master. This is my order."
Flashing trembled, and finally bowed and agreed.
"Master, do we really want to listen to Sir Lawrence's orders?"
"At least for now." Crouch looked out the window, his thoughts in mind.
Different angles mean different ways of looking at problems.
When he accepted that he was recruited by Wayne Lawrence, Crouch actually discovered many advantages in him.
Mysterious, powerful, and fierce.
Since entering the house, Wayne has not touched his wand and cast spells without a wand.
A strange move of magic broke through the sneak attack carefully planned by him and Twinkle. Even the Unforgivable Curse was just a matter of staring.
It is undoubtedly a nightmare for such a person to become an enemy.
But if it's one of your own...
Crouch saw hope in his heart, and he also had a chance to take revenge on Voldemort...
The time is getting closer and closer to September 1st, the school day.
Wayne also fulfilled his promise and went to Nurmengard before school started to treat Grindelwald to a good meal.
When it comes to bribery...no, maintaining interpersonal relationships, he always does what he says.
If you don’t believe the gargoyles and the Sorting Hat in your principal’s office, can you believe that he can prevent Old Deng from entering the office with just one word?
Before leaving, Grindelwald asked Wayne for a few sex-transfer mints, saying that he had nothing to do, so he might as well study this weird thing.
After thinking about it, Wayne agreed to him and left some potion ingredients.
With Grindelwald's strength, he could escape from prison long ago. Without a wand, he is also a master of magic, and Nurmengard can't trap him.
Rather than saying that this is a cage jointly arranged by many ministries of magic, it is better to say that this is his own choice.
Just like Hogwarts is to Dumbledore.
They are all self-imposed prisons.
On the last day before school started, Wayne took Hermione and Qiu to Diagon Alley to buy the textbooks and stationery needed for the next semester.
Originally, Hermione had wanted to come here for a long time, but the virtual computer's collection of books became more and more abundant, which made her reluctant to leave, so she postponed it until now.
As the school year approaches, there are more students in Diagon Alley. Many students are accompanied by their parents, making the whole alley lively.
Several people went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore first to buy books for the next semester. When they heard that Hermione and Qiu wanted to buy "The Monster Book of Monsters", the clerk's face immediately turned pale.
The two girls didn't know what was going on, but when the clerk brought the book over, they were dumbfounded.
"Are you sure this is a book?" Hermione asked in shock.
"Sure." The clerk said with a sad face: "Take it away quickly, damn Professor of Protection of Magical Creatures, I will definitely file a complaint against him!"
Several people carried their books and left the bookstore. Wayne found the two noisy monster books annoying, so he cast two stun spells on them and immediately became real.
The clerk happened to see this scene and was completely overwhelmed.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you had such a good idea?
"Wayne!"
When they heard someone calling him, Wayne and the two women turned around.
Mr. Diggory pulled Cedric over excitedly, "What a coincidence. I didn't meet you in the village this year, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Mr. Diggory." Wayne greeted politely.
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man patted Wayne on the shoulder hard: "How did you know that Cedric became a prefect?"
Wayne: "???"
Does he know?
Looking at Cedric covering his face in shame, Wayne suddenly understood.
Isn't this thing... the big fish that the fisherman holds showing off everywhere?
This morning I saw the departure of Master Akira Toriyama, and I felt a little emotional...
