The Trial of Bartemius Crouch Jr. Part 2


Wells watched helplessly as Crouch Jr. was made to sit on the stand. Next a healer came over and with the help of the aurors, she administered the potion. She asked a few test questions before looking at the minister.

"It is working." She told him,

"Good. Prosecution may start questioning." He said.

"Thank you. How did you escape Azkaban?" She asked.

"My father." He answered.

"How did he help you escape?" She asked.

"He brewed polyjuice and brought it with him. Then my mom and I drank it. She turned into me and I her. We switched places." He answered.

"So the body that was buried was your mother?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"And where did your father take you?" She asked.

"Back to his house." He answered.

"What did he do to you there?" He asked.

"Kept me under the imperious charm and kept me prisoner inside that house." He told her.

"Did he ever physically harm you?" She asked.

"No." He answered,

"Was he mentally abusive?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Was that why you joined Voldemort?" She asked, ignoring all the flinching that occurred.

"No." He answered.

"Why did you join him?" She asked.

"Muggles and muggle-borns are a disease to us. They need to be exterminated." He answered.

"How did you escape your father?" She asked.

"I managed to fight the curse and regain control. Winky, my family's house elf, convinced my father to take me to the world cup. He kept me under an invisibility cloak. There my father was busy and wasn't paying attention to me. I stole Potter's wand and conveniently some death eaters attacked. I used the opportunity to escape. I stunned Winky and helped my fellow Death eaters attack. Then I cast the mark over the area and left." He told them.

"Did your father know it was you and not Winky that stole Heir Potter's wand and cast the spell?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Was Winky punished for you escaping?" Amelia asked.

"She was." He didn't regret that despite the fact that she raised him with his mother.

"Where did you go after escaping your father?" She asked.

"To my master." He told her.

"Who is your master?" She asked.

"Lord Voldemort." He answered, making many people gasp in surprise.

"He is alive?" She asked.

"He is." He confirmed.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"Riddle Manor." He answered.

"Where is Riddle Manor?" She asked.

"Little Hangleton." He mentally cursed and apologized to his lord.

"Is it under any spell?" She asked.

"No." He answered.

"Under any wards?" She asked.

"No." He answered.

"Is anyone else there?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Who?" He asked.

"Peter Pettigrew and my lord's snake." He answered.

Everyone in the room except for Amelia, Crouch jr, and a few aurors were frozen. They tried to process what they were hearing. Even Crouch's lawyer was silent and pale.

"Are they armed?" She asked.

"Only Pettigrew." He answered.

"Why isn't the dark lord?" She asked.

"He's weak at the moment" He told her.

A couple aurors left. No one but the minister noticed. Amelia continued questioning Crouch jr.

"Why did you pretend to be Alastor Moody?" She asked him.

"I needed to be a staff member at Hogwarts." He said.

"Why?" She asked.

"So that I could make Potter enter the tournament and make sure he survived until the final task." The death eater answered.

"Why?" She asked.

"During the final task he would touch the trophy. The plan was to turn it into a port key. It would take him to the graveyard that holds the dark lord's father. Pettigrew would then use Potter's blood to restore my master to his former self." He revealed.

"How did you kidnap Alastor Moody?" Amelia asked.

"I did research on his magical eye. Once I knew how to get around it I stunned him." He said.

"How did you get around his eye?" She asked.

"I put my magical signature everywhere. It caused his eye to malfunction and then I snuck up behind him and stunned him."

"What did you do to him?" She asked.

"We kept him stunned and used his hair for the polyjuice potion." He said.

"Did you buy the ingredients?" She asked.

"No."

"Who did you steal from?" She asked.

"I stole from Snape." He answered.

"Did you harm any of the students?" She asked.

"Yes." He confirmed.

"Who?" She asked.

"Draco Malfoy and Neville Longbottom." He answered.

"How did you harm Neville Longbottom?" She asked.

"I purposely used the torturing curse in front of him to cause him mental pain." He said.

"Did you do anything else to him?" She asked.

"I talked to him afterwards. I purposely talked about the pain they must have felt until the curse broke their minds." He said.

"Why?" She asked.

"The look of pain on his face was delightful." He told her.

"What did you do to Draco Malfoy?" She asked.

Crouch jr told them the same thing Malfoy did. Lord Malfoy wanted to torture him to death. He refrained but barely.

"Why?" She asked.

"To punish his father." He answered.

"Why did his father need to be punished?" She asked him.

"He was a coward. He should have been in Azkaban with the rest of us. Rumor was that he lied and said he was imperioed but that was a lie." He said.

"So you harassed a child?" She wanted to roll her eyes.

"Yes."

"Did anyone reprimand you?" She asked.

"Mcgonagall." He answered.

"What about Dumbledore?" She asked.

"He praised me. He didn't want him to get a big head and he hates Slytherins." He answered.

"What did you do to your father?" She asked.

"I killed him." He answered.

"Why?" She asked.

"I have always wanted to kill him and when he recognized me through my disguise I took my chance." He said.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"A bone somewhere on Hogwarts grounds. I transfigured him and then Hagrid's mutt took off with it." He told her.

"Did you write a letter to his department saying he was sick?" She asked.

"Yes." He said.

"No further questions." She said.

"Defense?" Fudge looked at the lawyer.

The lawyer just shook his head. The fact that the man not only tortured a child but also was trying to bring that maniac to power again made him sick. He could only hope the aurors managed to get the dark lord.

"Give him the reversal potion and then the wizengamot can have a few moments to decide this man's fate." He said.

The healer went to Crouch jr. Meanwhile a ward around the wizengamot. They didn't take long to talk. Soon the ward went down.

"Have you decided?" The minister asked.

"We have." Lord Ogden said. "We find Bartemius Crouch guilty. He will be placed in maximum security for life, even after his magic is taken. We will not allow him to participate due to him being a danger to those children."

"FUCK YOU ALL! MY LORD WILL RETURN AND YOU ALL WILL PAY!" He screamed as he was taken away.

Everyone stayed where they were for a few minutes. Then they dispersed. The minister and madam Bones were called to the department of Mysteries. What they were shown shocked them.
