Chapter 424 421. Crouch's Friendship
Peter’s guilt is established, which means that Sirius’s guilt has been cleared.
If this kind of thing happened, the most correct way for the magic government should be to apologize to Sirius in the newspaper, and to compensate him for his reputation and imprisonment for more than ten years.
But Fudge believed that doing so would make the Ministry of Magic lose its majesty, so he rejected such a proposal.
just silently revoked Sirius’ wanted warrant.
The Daily Prophet reported the results of Peter's trial for the first time, but the Ministry of Magic has not come forward to explain it afterwards, but only announced that Peter will be kissed by a dementor.
In fact, the original sentence of Peter was only life imprisonment, but Fudge thought that he was living in this world one day, just drawing the face of the Ministry of Magic.
So the criminal law was aggravated, Peter was deprived of all the honor, and his ending was pronounced.
The wizards in the magic world are certainly not so satisfied with this result.
The wicked were punished, but the good ones were not treated fairly, and even a statement of innocence was not published by the Ministry of Magic.
This makes newspapers similar to "Singing Against the Mainstream" that counter-mainstream public opinion, those people who frequently criticize the Ministry of Magic these days are a bunch of corpse-bit vegetarian idiots.
Although the Ministry of Magic did not apologize to Sirius in the public newspapers, all the hunt orders were indeed withdrawn.
Because it was reported that Dumbledore was involved in the arrest of Peter’s Death Eaters, Sirius wrote a letter to Dumbledore in private, asking him whether he was now acquitted of the crime. .
Dumbledore replied to him that the Ministry of Magic was only unwilling to admit his mistakes because of the face, and his wanted internally had been cancelled, including all charges of killing, bombing the street, and recently escaped from prison.
So Sirius made an tentative appearance in Diagon Alley. Not only was he not hunted down by the Auror, but the wizard who saw him also applauded him loudly.
This made him completely relieved, and excitedly wrote a letter to Hallibo, telling him that he can live with him this summer vacation.
Sirius doesn’t care about compensation from the Ministry of Magic and doesn’t need anyone to apologize if he is wealthy.
What makes him happy is that he can finally recognize Harry as his son.
Of course, the only thing that made him a little regretful was that Peter didn't let him grab it and kill him personally, but in any case, Harry's parents' grievances were avenged.
Excited Sirius didn't plan to stay in Diagon Alley any longer, he returned to his home with his things.
This is still his house anyway, and the house bought outside is far from the ancestral home of the Black family.
Inwardly, Sirius still wanted to show off his big house to Harry.
However, as soon as he walked into the Black’s ancestral home, he was stunned by the scene before him.
All around were messes and traces of being rummaged. The house elf Kreacher lay silently on the ground, his mother’s portrait was blown out of a big hole, and there was a mess everywhere.
Just when the magic world was jubilant about the Death Eaters.
Old John came personally and found the home of Barty Crouch, who had been transferred from the director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department to the director of the International Magical Affairs Cooperation Department.
Old John is now the number one famous person in the British magical world.
His industry is huge all over Europe, and there are even rumors that he has already completed the integration of the British business, just as he is the man behind the day-to-day Lungard Magic Company.
The Crouch family is also a family of pure-blood wizards with a long history, but their focus is on the Ministry of Magic. Although they have been involved in business, they are far from the Malfoy family and occupy the main energy.
The pure-blood family can communicate with each other. He also heard about the old John swallowing Malfoy's property. After all, this also includes his Crouch family's property.
Now, it seems that Barty Crouch’s wife and sons have passed away in the past few years. It seems that the transfer from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to the International Department of Magical Affairs is flat, but the power held between the two departments is very different. It's big, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, he is tantamount to being darkened.
It was once brilliant, and even the old Crouch, who almost served as the Minister of Magic, is now a powerless and lonely man.
And the thing that scared Old Crouch the most was another thing.
His son, who has been hiding at home using the Imperius Curse, has recently disappeared!
Usually when he was working at the Ministry of Magic, there was a house-elf Shining looking at Little Crouch, but a few days ago, Shining cried and said that Little Crouch broke free from the control of the Imperius Curse and ran out of the house.
At that time, the great Azkaban escape occurred, and Old Crouch knew very well in his heart that his son who was extremely loyal to Voldemort must have joined the Death Eaters.
Just when Old Crouch couldn't help it, Leon swept all the Death Eaters gathered together in just a dozen days.
The news came out these days Old Crouch was sitting on pins and needles at home.
If his son is caught, everything will be revealed.
The wizards in the British magic circle all think that he is a fair and honest person, but this impression will soon be destroyed.
All his positions will be beaten to the end, and then imprisoned in Azkaban, not knowing how many years of imprisonment he will face.
But the Death Eaters trials are over, and he has not heard any news about his son.
Old Crouch used his previous relationship with the Magic Law Enforcement Department to check, only to find that his unfilial son was not among the captured Death Eaters.
Where did Little Crouch go?
This question made Old Crouch think of insomnia every day Until this day, Old John took a man covered in a black robe all over his body and visited Crouch's house.
Although Old Crouch and Old John had conflicts with the joint company before, he still invites Old John and the man in black robes with him into his home.
Because the black-robed man really gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
Even if the father and son are at odds, Old Crouch still has been father and son with little Crouch for nearly thirty years.
Just through the height and appearance of the black-robed man, he can be sure that the person standing next to Old John is his missing son.
Old John didn’t talk nonsense as soon as he walked in. He pulled off little Crouch’s hood, allowing Old Crouch to see his son’s face clearly.
It's just that the behavior of little Crouch now seems a little strange.
There is an error in the previous chapter about the time when Crouch’s wife died and the original work. Thank you for being pointed out by the reader, and it has been revised.
