Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

“…Yes, old Barty is fine, I am afraid that the child is in trouble.”

Inside Leaky Cauldron, Marx and Sirius sit next to a table near the wall, and Hermione and the others sit around them.

Perhaps because of Hermione’s remarks today, perhaps the strength of everyone has indeed improved tremendously, and Marx finally has nothing to do with them.

Of course, if something is directly related to Herpo, and it is very likely that it will encounter the guy, Marx can’t just let them participate.

After listening to Marx sitting down with Sirius, he again mentioned old Barty, and Hermione couldn’t help but wonder.

“What is the problem with no problem?” she wondered. “What did Mr. Crouch do?”

Marx hearing this, can’t shrugged you:

“No, Mr. Crouch has done almost nothing. He just took a nostalgia for his son and a life ambition that never broke, and went to muggle World to adopt two orphans.”

After saying such a sentence with a little emotion, he turned to explain:

“You just heard it in the library. Mr. Crouch intends to explore the path of the future muggle and the wizard by raising the muggle child in the magic circle… and, perhaps, by the way, let his own life in his later life. It’s not so painful.”

At this point, it’s actually what Marx had previously talked to with Old Barty. But he could follow him, but he pointed to Sirius again, a little serious:

“The original Mr. Crouch opened the book house in Diagon Alley… No, exactly, when Mr. Crouch came to Diagon Alley with two children, there were several murders here. Sirius In order to ensure that there are no bad rumors, they temporarily managed to eliminate the impact of the case…”

“But he and Lupin also speculated that the secret murder is likely to be Stinchcombe Crouch who suddenly came to Diagon Alley to open the store.”

Hermione listened to him saying that he immediately nodded, which is a preliminary understanding of the status quo.

It turned out that today Marx took her to Diagon Alley to play, and actually took the task. Her Hermione and Ron, four of them, became the best cover for testing each other.

If I think about it, if she doesn’t show her thoughts in advance today, Marx will do it again.

So secretly thinking about it, Hermione said:

“So, you just confirmed that people are not killed by Mr. Crouch?”

“Yes,” Marx recalled the situation at the time, and then whispered, “I didn’t think he would commit a murder case. After all, there are not many illegal things he has done in his life… In addition to the year, he could not help the grievance of a seriously ill wife and went to Azkaban to replace his son Barty Jr..”

Having said that, he was slightly stopped, and then he shook his head.

“But for some reason, I can’t guarantee that he will not change his temperament… So today’s temptation is still necessary.”

“Some reasons?”

Ron, who has never spoken, can’t help but repeat it after hearing that Marx seems to have skipped something.

“Ah.”

Seeing other people are also confused or curious, Marx has not concealed any more, nodded to say:

“His son, Barty Jr. Crouch, was killed by me.”

Even if Marx understands human nature any more, it is impossible to see the heart with no difficulty. Because of the death of his son, whether old Barty will hate it, he can’t guess.

Because he understands that the death of Barty Jr. is equivalent to a seed buried in the heart of old Barty, and that the seed will sprout or rot, no one knows.

Also this Xu one day, old Barty suddenly counted the pain of his lost son to the head of his Marx McLorne, then the other party is likely to take the initiative to help Herpo do things.

However, in the surprised expression of Hermione and the others, Marx quickly said:

“Fortunately, I think old Barty didn’t kill, because… I probably already guessed who the real murderer is.”

Hermione listened, suddenly frowned, but then seemed to be unable to accept his own guess, gently shaking his head and letting go of the number one candidate.

“Yes… was it a guest in the library?” She hesitated.

Instead, next to Neville, after a slight startled, subconsciously asked:

“Is that little girl? Oh, no… no?”

Neville’s almost disguised words are actually the answer that Hermione thought of in the first place. After all, Marx was the most contacted person in the library, and it seemed to be old Barty and the little girl.

However, a child who is so big will kill others… It is chilling to think about this kind of thing.

After Neville asked for an exit, Hermione couldn’t help but stare at Marx’s head, as if he was afraid of his nodded agree with Neville’s terrifying guess.

And when Marx shook her head again, she was not consciously relaxed.

“Sure… no!”

“Well, it’s not her,” Marx said, but sighed. “But, it’s still related to her. Remember? I mentioned, old Barty adopted two muggle orphans – female child. We have seen it. Don’t forget, there is a male child!”

“But we haven’t seen a male child, but we don’t mean him–” Hermione said halfway, and couldn’t help but say, “Marx, have you found anything in that little girl?”

It can be seen that the kindness in Hermione’s heart has led her to not even suspect the male child who has never met. But with her understanding of Marx, she understands that the other side has never been targeted.

With this in mind, the conclusion seems to be obvious.

Sure enough, I saw a complicated smile on Marx’s face.

“You guessed it,” he picked up the cup on his hand, drank the juice, and moistened the throat because he said too much, and had a dry throat. “The child’s body…has traces of dark magic, and old Barty doesn’t seem to know it.”

“That… isn’t he dangerous?” Ron said.

This time, Marx hasn’t answered yet, and Hermione said to Ron first:

“No, on the contrary, maybe he is the safest one in Diagon Alley today!”

“what?”

When Ron heard it, he couldn’t help but wonder.

“Not good understand?” Hermione said. “First, Marx has already said that there have been several murders in Diagon Alley recently. But if the murderer is really a child, will he kill the people around him? No, even that The male child is smart enough to know that doing so can make people avoid doubts. But without old Barty, a child is more inconvenient to act!”

As she said, she paused a bit and then continued:

“Second, a child will kill, and the incident itself is suspicious enough. I think there are other people behind him. And if that person is familiar with the magic circle, he will definitely leave Mr. Crouch – he The son was the Death Eater, and he himself, wouldn’t he be a good person?”

“What do you mean, once the murder is exposed, will they take old Barty as a ghost?”

When Ron was in a while, Marx followed nodded.

“The idea makes sense,” he said. “I did think that the male child might be under control, but I didn’t think they might take the old Barty as a shield.”

After getting the appreciation of Marx, Hermione is obviously more confident, just listen to her and then continue:

“There is still a third point – we all know that Mr. Crouch has adopted the two children for some time. If the child wants to start, I am afraid that Mr. Crouch is already dead, isn’t it?”

Although Hermione is ostensibly questioning Ron, she is equivalent to using this opportunity to tell some of her own speculations.

To be honest, it’s just a matter of agile Hermione, and some details are not even considered by Marx. After standing and listening to her analysis, including Marx and Sirius, everyone was a little silent for a moment.

In the end, even if Hermione is more decent, it’s just an inference of that’s all. What is the truth, and how the situation will develop next will inevitably require further exploration.

Not long after, Sirius suddenly spoke up.

“Marx,” he thought back to what Marx had said to Hermione, and asked awkwardly. “You said, you found the trace of ‘dark magic’ in the little girl adopted by old Barty? What do you see? Dark magic?”

If you can know the details of the dark magic, not only will they provide security protection afterwards, but they will also be able to learn more about the secret of the male child…and even the person behind him.

Unfortunately, Marx arbitrarily waved his hand without hesitation:

“Unclear, the traces left on her are quite rare. It has probably passed for several hours… Seriously, it was luck to find this at the time!”

Sirius listened, and regretfully repeated and looked down on other doubts.

So, after a little while, he estimated that he knew that he couldn’t figure out more information, so he just stood up.

“Marx, is there anything I have to say?” he said. “Then I will take a step first. I will have to go back to monitor the library after a while, so that he can come over and eat something to fill his stomach.” ”

Marx first looked at Hermione and saw that she didn’t seem to want to say anything, before she rushed to Sirius:

“Well, go! I have dinner with everyone here, and then I will go back to Hogwarts. If you have any new discoveries, please let me know.”
