Barty Crouch Jr had gone to find Poppy Pomfrey in the castle’s medical wing. He was fully expecting that Snape would bring up the mudslut shortly for surgery, he wanted to be ready for the piercings after the surgery, so he would practise on some of the castle’s ready stock of prisoners in the meantime.
