Harry Potter: The Muggle Crown Prince at Hogwarts

This Christmas holiday is very special.

So it is to the king and his son.

The same is true for certain undercurrents lurking in the dark.

Like Barty Crouch Jr.

This is a young man with flaxen hair and a handsome and classic appearance. He was exposed as a Death Eater in the trial venue of Karkaroff back then, and he made his father so involved that he lost his eligibility for the ministerial election.

...Who would have thought that the serious and rigid Crouch would have his son become a Death Eater at the age of 19?

How could a boy from a famous family become a Death Eater for no reason?

Barty Crouch's fault, of course.

As a father, he must have never shown love to his son!

What's more, who would believe that an official with a Death Eater's son could take over Voldemort's liquidation work?

Barty Crouch Jr. didn't care.

He has always been extremely cruel to those he doesn't like, and he even mocked his father's stupidity, stupidly wanting to be the enemy of the greatest Dark Lord.

He should be in Azkaban.

Yes, of course he would be in Azkaban.

After all, his father was notoriously unselfish - he ignored everything for the sake of his official position.

Of course Batty Sr. could have sent his son to jail, even if his wife's eyes were red from crying.

Barty Crouch Jr. was even angrier.

With fanatical support for the Dark Lord and inexplicable hatred for his father, he walked into Azkaban just like that.

But his mother, that woman in poor health, was willing to replace him.

Barty Crouch Jr. didn't know what it was like to be himself.

When he was first locked up in prison, he screamed for his mother.

But then his mother came with Polyjuice Potion...

In the prison of Azkaban, in the icy waters surrounded by countless dementors, he finally said nothing.

...Even if he knew that his mother would die in a short time.

but……

The Dark Lord would remember her contribution--so thought Little Barty--and, that foolish old Barty would pay the price for stopping the Dark Lord's great cause!

He was locked up at home by old Barty, cast with the Imperius Curse, and put on an Invisibility Cloak, leaving only Winky, a stupid old house-elf, living like a ghost.

Over the years, he has changed from a high-spirited youth to a slovenly young man with long messy yellow hair, rough and gloomy with a careless image.

Even old Batty always came to "care" him hypocritically.

Even under the control of the Imperius Curse, Little Barty scoffed at it.

All these tortures, all these tortures, could not shake his love for the Dark Lord!

Thanks to that silly house-elf!

How much poor Winky loved his little master!Loved enough to convince his father to take him to the Quidditch World Cup.

He finally broke free from the Imperius Curse.

He finally escaped from his father.

All the Death Eaters seemed to have forgotten about Voldemort. They were either imprisoned, or escaped trial in the name of the Imperius Curse, and became guests of the Ministry of Magic glamorously.

Just like Lucius Malfoy!

Little Barty looked at the arrogant Lucius and the little Malfoy beside him with cold eyes, and the disgust in his heart almost ignited him.

But he has no wand.

He needs to leave first.

Not long after the Muggle crown prince won the first match, he finally sensed the return of his old master.

It made him very excited and feverish.

—His master is back!

He knew that the great Voldemort would not die easily, and the great Dark Lord would eventually return to lead them back to their former status!

When Jack Brown's body was manipulated by Voldemort to leave Hogwarts, he finally found his master according to the call of the Dark Mark!

Thanks Merlin!

This is the best Christmas present he has ever received!

Even if his master changed his appearance, he could only live in the body of an ordinary boy!

They quickly communicated with each other, knowing that the second match will be held in Black Lake and will be related to the mermaid.

——It's not a secret.

After all, the Muggle Crown Prince confirmed the clues for the second game in less than an hour after the first game ended.

In the past six months of fleeing abroad, Barty Jr. was also deeply aware of the influence of the Muggle crown prince.

It can be said that this person is the greatest obstacle to Voldemort's great cause!

They need to get rid of him!

Voldemort was very pleased with this.

He is in a very bad situation now, all the Horcruxes have been destroyed, and only this piece of soul needs such a capable subordinate!

But the Muggle Crown Prince is indeed a rare genius.

They need to think hard about countermeasures!

Voldemort said, "Barty, what can really destroy a mediocre person is what they call 'love'."

Batty Jr. thinks so.

He frowned, and his words and deeds were quite calm, "If you mean the Muggle father of the crown prince, master, I have already been to the palace.

"—But, I can't enter the palace at all! I can't even get close to the gate!"

Voldemort was silent for a moment.

He said, "It's not your fault, Barty. Years ago, a girl broke into Knockturn Alley and saw me retrieve Slytherin's locket."

Little Barty paused, then raised his head suddenly, his eyes burst into a more fanatical light.

——This is the master's secret!

Voldemort looked at him vaguely, his eyes almost scarlet.

"Barty..."

He said softly, "I assigned the Death Eaters to hunt down the other party. Who would have thought that the girl escaped into the palace, and the Death Eaters would not be able to enter."

"——I went to check it later. Although the alchemy circle in the Middle Ages has faded a lot, it is still somewhat useful."

Barty Jr. looked at Voldemort feverishly, with some chagrin at his own incompetence.

"Master, not only that! Please listen to me, this is by no means shirking my responsibility - there are some evil gates in those palaces, as long as I get closer, I feel that my magic power is gone! Even breathing becomes difficult!"

"Ok?"

Voldemort narrowed his eyes, and his pale face was tense, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

After a long while, he said, "Barty, sneak into Hogwarts first and play by ear!"

They found an abandoned house as a temporary base, and began to look for someone who could be replaced and had Dumbledore's trust.

They want to get in touch with the most core secrets, so as to defeat the Muggle crown prince!

Throughout the Christmas holiday, Barty Jr. has been working on this matter.

And Voldemort...

He was thinking about whether to recreate a Horcrux.

Yes, a piece of soul really can't make him feel at ease. Only with the guarantee of the Horcrux, can he uphold the arrogance of immortality and wantonly complete his great cause!

He started.

He killed an old Muggle, but he failed.

He is just a piece of soul.

He is not the main soul, and rashly making a Horcrux to split himself, not only failed to split, but made the soul more unstable, and even collapsed to the point of needing to rely on soul stabilizers to survive.

Little Barty had to stop observing Moody's actions and concentrate on making a soul stabilizer for Voldemort.

In the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays are over.

In order not to let Dumbledore notice the strangeness, Voldemort still boarded the train back to Hogwarts.

He put on makeup to make himself look better, less like a cold corpse.

The turbulent undercurrent was hidden under the cheerful Christmas bells, and it rushed to everyone in the buzzing of the Hogwarts Express.
