Chapter 356: Give me your loyalty, Barty Crouch Sr.!

The group of people put on the Disillusionment Curse, left the secret passage, and went straight to the principal's office.

After everyone entered the principal's office, Linn closed the door with his backhand and removed his own disillusionment spell.

He looked at Dumbledore behind the desk, smiled and said hello: "Good evening, Professor Dumbledore! Fortunately, we have lived up to our mission!"

As Linn finished speaking, Irina, Irwin, Sirius and Old Barty also appeared.

Dumbledore nodded pleasantly to Lynn and others, then looked at Old Barty and said happily: "Good evening, Old Barty! I also want to thank you for inviting me to your old house last time. !”

Old Barty lowered his head and said in shame: "Sorry, Dumbledore, I..."

Dumbledore raised his hand and interrupted Old Barty's words. He said: "Old Barty, now is not the time to blame yourself. Quickly capture your son Barty Crouch Jr. and bring him to justice to stop Voldemort's attack." Conspiracy is what we want to do, isn't it?"

Old Batty nodded vigorously and said sincerely: "I understand, is there anything I can help you with?"

Dumbledore did not speak, but turned his attention to Linn and Irina.

Lynn understood, he stood up and said: "Before the third event of the Triwizard Tournament is over, you can live in the place arranged for you by Professor Dumbledore. Before that, you should not interact with anyone except Meet people other than us.”

Old Batty nodded again and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Linn smiled and said: "Yes, it's that simple. In addition, I have another question to ask you. Do you... want to be the Minister of Magic?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Barty Sr.'s pupils shrank. After his son Barty Jr. was exposed as a Death Eater more than ten years ago, he knew that he had no chance of serving as Minister of Magic. After all, a How can a family whose descendants have criminals become the head of a political power? !

And after everything he had done came to light, Old Barty felt that not being imprisoned for life in Azkaban Prison was the greatest luxury he could hope for.

But now, Linn asked him if he wanted to be the Minister of Magic. How did he answer? !

Old Batty's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't speak.

Irina said softly: "Just tell your true thoughts, Mr. Crouch, we are all our own people here, don't have any baggage."

Hearing this, Old Barty nodded with a complex expression, and said in a serious tone: "Of course, if it is possible, who wouldn't want to be the Minister of Magic?"

Hearing Old Barty's answer, Linn smiled, and only heard him say lightly: "What if I said that I could help you ascend to the throne of the British Minister of Magic?"

"Why?!" Old Barty was shocked. He did not doubt that Lynn had such ability. "I mean, why do you want to help me? I obviously did such a thing..."

Lynn did not hide Old Barty's intention. He said bluntly: "The British Ministry of Magic should not be controlled by idiots like Fudge. Now that the British magical world is in a crisis, Fudge will only destroy the British magical world. , so...I need a puppet!"

Seeing that Lin En stated his purpose without hesitation, Old Batty's expression became even more complicated. He said bitterly: "So, are you going to let me be that puppet?"

No one will feel good after learning that he is just a puppet, but for the old Barty today, being able to become the Minister of Magic, even just a puppet minister, is already something he does not even dare to hope for. All at once.

Linn chuckled and said: "Of course, I don't interfere too much with you on weekdays. Rather than being a puppet, I would rather we be partners, just like the night of the Quidditch World Cup. It will be like that in the days after that. However, in the face of great right and wrong, I hope you can follow our will and point the finger at our common enemy instead of meaningless internal fighting!"

After hearing Linn's words, Old Barty finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said: "I understand, if it is you, I think I will."

As he spoke, Old Barty's eyes swept over Linn and Irina, and finally landed on Dumbledore, who was silent.

He understood that since Lynn could speak out in front of Dumbledore about his intention to support him as a puppet minister and interfere in the affairs of the British Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore might not support this matter, but he would definitely not object to it. .

Judging from Dumbledore's current ambiguous attitude, the probability of Dumbledore supporting this matter may be higher.

Linn smiled and said: "Since you agree, old Barty, can I call you that?"

Old Batty just nodded and said nothing.

"Then make an unbreakable vow, Old Barty."

Linn said with a smile, and he stretched out his hand towards Old Barty.

Old Barty hesitated for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and held Lin En's hand.

Just when Irina was about to step forward as a witness, Linn gently shook his head at her. Then, Linn looked at Dumbledore and said, "Professor Dumbledore, can you please Serve as our witness?”

After hearing Linn's words, Old Barty and Dumbledore were slightly moved.

They understood that Linn wanted Dumbledore to take a stand.

Dumbledore stood up from behind the desk, came to Linn and Old Barty, and said in a very soft voice: "My pleasure, gentlemen!"

With that said, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and gently touched the hands held by Lynn and Old Barty.

Lynn's face was solemn. He looked directly into Old Barty's eyes and asked: "Barty Crouch, after serving as the British Minister of Magic, are you willing to obey all the orders of Irina and I, and for our sake?" Are we fighting for a common goal?”

Old Batty's voice was hoarse. He nodded and said, "I do."

As Old Barty's words fell, a thin, dazzling tongue of fire spurted out from the wand, like a red and hot metal wire, wrapped around the two hands they held.

Lynn continued to ask: "Old Barty Crouch, are you willing to always stand in my and Irina's camp, dedicate your loyalty to me and Irina, never betray, never do anything overtly or covertly?" Anything bad to happen to Irina and I?”

After hearing Linn's words, Old Barty looked at Dumbledore subconsciously.

There was so much information revealed in Lynn's words that it was difficult for Old Barty to figure out whether Lynn really wanted to fight against Voldemort, or whether he was using this as a medium to replace Voldemort and become the next black man in the British wizarding world.
