A.N. — There is some conflicting info out there on when this man dies, either May 24 or 27. I went with the latter simply to space out some similar people's chapters. That said, I'm still gonna follow this with his son tomorrow.
147. Bartemius Crouch Sr.
A career in magical law enforcement made Barty see the world in very black and white terms. Either a person was good, or evil. The letter of the law was paramount; no excuse could justify straying outside those lines.
So, when presented with the crimes of Barty Jr., there was only one choice open to the senior Crouch: throw the book at him.
Disowning the Death Eater was met with applause, but inside Barty was at war. A moment ago, that man had been his son. Now, he was just another price paid to further his Minster of Magic ambitions.
