QUOTES FROM GOBLET OF FIRE These quotes are said by Barty Jr in the UK Edition of Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. 'My mother saved me. She knew she was dying. She persuaded my father to rescue me as a last favour to her. He loved her as he never loved me. He agreed. They came to visit me. They gave me a draught of Polyjuice Potion, containing one of my mother's hairs. She took a draught of Polyjuice Potion, containing one of my hairs. We took on each other's appearance.' P. 594 'The Dementors are blind. They sensed one healthy, one dying person entering Azkaban. They sensed one healthy, one dying person leaving it. My father snuggled me out, disguised as my mother, in case any prisoners were watching through the doors.' P. 594 'My mother died a short while afterwards in Azkaban. She was careful to drink Polyjuice Potion until the end. She was buried under my name, and bearing my appearance. Everyone believed her to be me.' P. 594 'Staged my mother's death. A quiet, private funera. That grave is empty. The house-elf nursed me back to health. ThenI had to be concealed. I had to be controlled. My father had to use a number of spells to subdue me. When i had recovered my strength, i thought of finding my master... of returning to his service.' P. 594 'The Imperious curse,' Crouch said. 'I was under my father's control. I was forced to wear an Invisibility Cloak day and night. I was always with the house-elf. She was my keeper and carer. She pitied me. She persuaded my father to give me occasional treats.' P. 594 'Yes,' said Crouch, his eyelids flickering again. 'A witch in my father's office. Bertha Jorkins. She came to the house, with papers for my father's signatures. He was not at home. Winky showed her inside and returned to the kitchen, to me. But Bertha Jorkins heard Winky talking to me. She came to investigate. She heard enough to guess who was hiding under the Invisibility Cloak. My father arrived home. She confronted him. He put a very powerful Memory Charm on her to make her forget what she'd found out. Too powerful. He said it damaged her memory permanently.' P. 595 'Winky talked father into it,' said Crouch, still in the same monotonous voice. 'She spent months persuading him. I had not left the house for years. I had loved Quidditch. Let him go, she said. He will be in his Invisibility Cloak. He can watch. Let him smell fresh air for once. She said my mother would have wanted it. She told my father that my mother had died to give me freedom. She had not saved me for a life of imprisonment. He agreed in the end.' P. 595 It was carefully planned. My father led myself and Winky up to the Top Box early in the day. Winky was to say that she was saving a seat for my father. I was to site there, invisible. When everyone had left the box, we would emerge. Winky would appear to be alone. Nobody would ever know.' P. 595 'But Winky didn't know that i was growing stronger. I was starting to fight my father's Imperious curse. There were times when i was almost myself again. There were brief periods when i seemed outside his control. It happened, there, in the Top Box. It was like waking from a deep sleep. i found myself out in public, in the middle of the match, and i saw a wand sticking out of a boy's pocket in front of me. I had not been allowed a wand since before Azkaban. I stole it. Winky didn't know. Winky is frightened of heights. She had her face hidden.' P. 596 |
