Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

He possesses outstanding psychological qualities, intelligence and magical talents, and achieved O grades in all subjects in the OWLs exam.

The information he learned from Dumbledore pointed out that after graduation, Barty Crouch Jr. received Auror training from the top Auror 'Mad-Eye' Alastor Moody.

His performance in training was also outstanding, and even the picky and strict Moody could not find any problems.

"You will become an excellent Auror and can definitely inherit your father's mantle."

Mad-Eye even once said this about Barty Crouch Jr.

This is also consistent with the situation Ryan encountered when he was looking for the other party just now.

"Caution, sharpness, and that anti-detection magic just now... He is Barty Crouch Jr."

Ryan can make such a judgment.

After making this judgment, he calmly looked at Barty Crouch Jr. in front of him and said, "I'm actually quite glad you're still alive... I've always thought that after what you've done, dying in Azkaban for only a few years is too easy for you."

"And now, I believe you will get the reward you deserve."

He said this and then gently raised his hand.

"bring it on."

He said casually.

"Not even a wand?"

Barty Crouch Jr. grinned.

"Oh—I suppose Tom didn't tell you?"

Ryan said calmly.

"If he were here, I could still draw my wand and pretend to respect the power he gained from losing his nose."

"But...you?"

Having said this, he smiled.

The disdainful meaning is very clear.

Then Ryan heard Barty Crouch Jr. grinding his teeth.

"How dare you insult the...great...Dark Lord like that!"

he growled.

This even surprised Ryan - because little Barty's anger did not come from Ryan's contempt for him, but from Ryan's insult to Voldemort.

"You are truly loyal... However, it doesn't look like you plan on casting a spell on me."

"Then I won't be polite."

Ryan sighed, then waved his finger.

So the next moment...

"Bone-eroding cold breath!"

Icy mist lingered from his fingertips, and the phoenix forged from the frost mist seemed to have frozen even the time in the [Hall of Time].

The powerful ancient magic even made Newt look at Ryan in surprise.

Only then did he realize that Ryan had not used any strength at all when dealing with the dark wizards just now.

But what surprised Ryan was.

At this moment, facing the attacking Frost Mist Phoenix.

Barty Crouch Jr.'s eyes were obviously shaken and he was obviously extremely shocked.

But he didn't seem flustered.

next moment...

Ryan saw the other party pull out a wand and raise it lightly.

"Buzz!"

Then, his figure flashed and disappeared out of thin air.

"Boom!"

The phoenix transformed from frost mist also flew to the ground in the next moment, forming a huge ice sculpture on the spot.

The coldness invaded the [Time Hall] at this moment, and even the hummingbirds flying around in the glass cover let out panicked cries.

"..."

At this moment, Ryan and Newt looked solemnly at the place where Barty Crouch Jr. had just been.

"Apparating?"

Newt exclaimed in disbelief: "Impossible—this is the Ministry of Magic...this is the Department of Mysteries!"

At this moment, Ryan's brows were also furrowed.

That's right.

He was just as surprised as Newt at this point.

As Newt had said - the Ministry of Magic, like Hogwarts, forbids Apparition.

Especially the Department of Mysteries, whose prohibition against Apparition is extremely powerful.

Logically speaking, as long as he is a wizard - unless he is a legendary wizard who has entered the legendary realm with 'space magic'.

Otherwise, even other legendary wizards would be restricted by Apparition... Dumbledore is proof of that.

So, Ryan didn't even think about it.

But that's what happened - right in front of him, Barty Crouch Jr. disappeared through the Apparition.

"Have the restrictions here been lifted?"

Ryan couldn't help but think so.

So he closed his eyes and began to sense the magic around him.

then...

“The restrictions are still there.”

Just a moment later, he came to a new conclusion - he could clearly feel that the magical restriction that restricted his apparition was still there.

"The only ones who can circumvent the Ministry's restrictions and Apparate here... are special magical creatures like Friday or Fawkes, or house elves, or other similar magical creatures."

"But just now—these creatures definitely didn't exist."

As the bearer of the Seed of Fertility, Ryan, who can sense the vitality of other creatures, can certainly be sure of this.

There was no other living creature around Barty Crouch Jr. just now!

This made Ryan even more confused.

But it was at this moment...

"Surround it up!"

"Be alert!"

"Right inside—oh, it's Master Newt... and Ryan!"

Ryan heard a lot of footsteps behind him, followed by Mr. Amos's surprised voice.

When Ryan and Newt turned around, they saw a large number of Aurors pouring into the [Time Hall].

"Oh... Damn! Why is the Time Hall in this state..."

Ryan saw Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge surrounded by Aurors.

Except for Fudge.

Ryan also saw two other people among the crowd of people dressed as Aurors.

She was a tall, beautiful witch who looked very serious.

The badge on her chest revealed her identity.

"The current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Burns."

Ryan murmured the other person's name in his heart.

Next to Amelia Burns, Ryan saw another person he knew.

That was Barty Crouch Sr.

then...

"..."

Ryan's expression turned serious.

And at this moment, Fudge seemed to notice his and Newt's presence.

"Lian!? Master Newt—are you all right?"

Then the Minister of Magic walked up to them and asked with concern.

Ryan noticed that a Ministry of Magic employee was following closely behind him, holding a small camera and a notepad.

This was originally Umbridge's position, but apparently... she was now completely out of favor.

"Oh, I'm fine, Connelly."

Newt responded indifferently.

Ryan simply nodded.

But Fudge didn't care at all. He put on a kind smile and said, "I heard about your heroic deeds from Amos. You saved him before the Aurors arrived!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Newt's answer and continued with an expression of indignation and sadness: "Those damn attackers... They are criminals. They killed a Silent... Our best colleague!"

He burst into tears, and the Ministry employee behind him quickly offered him a handkerchief.

Fudge wiped away his tears with a very photogenic gesture.

But at this moment, Amelia Burns on the side obviously had no time to watch Fudge's performance.
