Barty Crouch Jr. was supposed to be imprisoned in Azkaban and executed. Yet he had appeared here. What that implied was self-evident.

In truth, Barty Crouch was looking somewhat nervous as well.
There were simply too many important figures here. If Barty Crouch Jr. revealed even the slightest flaw, he could easily be exposed.
Especially since Katelyle was a powerful Elemental Mage. The strength of Elemental Magic meant he could not be certain whether Katelyle would notice anything.
