Chapter 294 Secret
The Crouchs, like the Malfoys, are a very old pure-blood family.
After his wife died, old Batty did not remarry.
His only son also disappointed him deeply.
The achievements of his official career have long gone away from him.
Looking back on his life, having devoted himself to his career, will he have any regrets?
In the original book, Barty Jr. imitated Voldemort and killed his father.
The reason why I didn't arrange for the crown to come into contact with little Barty was because, when the crown was made into a Horcrux, old Tom Riddle had already been killed.
Before that, create the Gaunt Ring as a Horcrux.
Tom, as the first Horcrux to be split, was not so crazy.
Will little Barty recognize his master?
no doubt.
In the original book, he was so fanatical.
I even sensed that he had an unusual possessiveness toward Voldemort.
And Voldemort's feelings towards him are also very different from those towards other Death Eaters.
Mixed-race identity, failed father...
Among the Death Eaters, only Barty Jr. dared to call their master "Voldemort"...
Perhaps, Voldemort saw his former self in little Barty.
No matter how hard I try or how good I am, I am not recognized...
Was it really the right decision to let Tom stay with little Barty?
I do not know.
Life is a gamble, with wins and losses.
It wasn't long before Tom reappeared in our sight.
I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but I had no chance, so I had to give up.
Lucius had a very pleasant conversation with old Barty, and it was completely unimaginable that they had experienced unpleasantness at Malfoy Manor.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes...
The necessary information seemed to have been conveyed between Lucius and Tom through their glances.
"Let's talk about this for today..." The head of the Malfoy family took out his pocket watch and took a look. There was a photo of his wife inside.
Old Batty smiled knowingly, his eyes full of loneliness.
Perhaps he was thinking of his wife who died young due to illness.
You can't even die in your true form.
When they died, they were just wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
He turned his head and blinked hard.
Lucius stared at him for a long moment.
With a sigh, we ended our visit.
"Barty Crouch Jr. said it all."
As soon as they returned to Malfoy Manor, Tom told them everything that had happened.
I snuggled up to Narcissa as she gently combed my long hair with her fingertips.
It's like smoothing an animal's fur.
I loved how she groomed my mane when I could only appear in unicorn form in the holy land of the elves.
In the original book, she learned that Draco was safe and she was willing to hide the fact that Harry was alive.
Like Lily Potter and Mrs. Crouch, she is willing to sacrifice anything for her children.
But I don’t want her to face a life-or-death situation again.
I just hope she can live a peaceful life.
"Little Barty didn't care...at all about Mrs. Crouch replacing him and dying in Azkaban." Tom had an indescribable expression.
Tom's daughter, Narcissa, also became a mother.
He couldn't imagine that there would be such a person in the world who would trample on a mother's unconditional love.
"He has been living under the Imperius Curse. Our visit today is a rare moment for him to stay awake." Tom glanced at Lucius not far away: "He hates you."
"Me? I don't remember ever provoking him in any way?" Lucius was confused.
"You escaped the blame and continued to enjoy a life of luxury. In his eyes, this was proof of infidelity."
Tom glanced at me quickly. "I was just relaying what Barty Jr. was thinking."
He knows my protective personality very well.
"That's also because of my father's clever tactics!"
Tom knows me too well.
I simply cannot stand having my family members’ behavior misinterpreted by outsiders.
"Aurora, don't worry about it..." Narcissa said softly, and I gradually calmed down.
"However, in addition to expressing his loyalty to me, he also revealed a secret to me..."
