Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Defense Against the Dark Arts 1 is a cursed discipline

Barty Crouch stepped into the Ministry of Magic as usual. ̶x̶.̶c̶o̶m̶

He wore a distinctive square wizard hat on his head, and the suit under his robe was as straight as if it had been stuffed with wooden supports. There was no expression on his face. Scrimgeour, the current head of the Auror Office, is a stern character like him, but the two men look completely different.

Scrimgeour gives people a tough feeling, he is like Barty Crouch when he was young, but now Barty Crouch makes people feel twilight, like a ball of defeated ashes.

Many employees greeted him along the way, even though his reputation was damaged when he sent his son Barty Crouch Jr. to Azkaban - many people thought he could abandon him for his own power. everything. But he is still an important member of the Ministry of Magic, especially at this juncture——

"Hey, old Barty."

Hearing a familiar shout from behind, Barty turned around and saw a middle-aged man with short blond hair, blue eyes and a strong build walking towards him with a smile on his face. He searched for this person's name in his mind and quickly matched his number.

Ludo Bagman is the current Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

A complete idiot!

"Good morning, Mr. Buckman." Crouch's tone was a little dull, as if he was unwilling to focus on this person because it was a waste of time.

"I met you early in the morning, so I didn't have to go to the office to look for you." Ludo Bagman didn't realize it at all. He walked over to himself and hooked Crouch's lips as if they were close friends. Shoulder, he said somewhat frivolously, "We must cooperate more in next year's World Cup Quidditch competition!"

"I will." Barty knocked Ludo's palms off his shoulders with a sullen face, "This is my job."

"That would be great," Ludo Bagman said happily. He has recently owed a lot of money due to gambling, and the salary from the Ministry of Magic is not enough for him to squander. The World Cup is just an opportunity for him to make more gold!

Barty turned to leave, but was stopped by Ludora.

"Wait, old man, there is one more thing." Ludo Bagman said something that surprised Barty before he got angry.

I saw this big man looking around like a thief. When he found that not many people were paying attention, he whispered: "Do you know that Dumbledore plans to restart the Triwizard Tournament?"

"When did it happen?" Barty Crouch's ashen face finally showed a surprised expression.

"Just now. I overheard it when I was passing by Fudge's office. It was Dumbledore's suggestion. He had contacted the principals of Durmstrang and Beaubaston in advance and reached an agreement with them. I think Fudge seemed to I’m a little worried, but if this matter can be successful, I guess I will have to wait until the World Cup is over,” Ludo said.

Ludo didn't want this to go through.

He himself is the director of the Department of Magical Sports. Only when such large-scale sports are held, his power will rise like the tide.

Compared to Ludo Bagman's enthusiasm for this matter, Barty Crouch has more things to think about.

At this juncture, what is Dumbledore's intention to take the initiative to re-organize the Triwizard Tournament?

Is it simply a matter of reviving a tradition and deepening the ties between the three European schools?

Barty Crouch, or in other words, Barty Crouch Jr., didn't think that Dumbledore would do something meaningless, especially when he knew that Voldemort was likely to be resurrected at any time, how could he be so leisurely? Propose a competition that could lead to the death of students or even teachers?

'I'm afraid he wants to use the Triwizard Tournament to get in touch with the other two magic schools. Once the Dark Lord returns, he can use this to get help from the Ministry of Magic in other countries. ’

Little Barty thinks very far. He thinks that Dumbledore may have foreseen that after the Dark Lord is resurrected, the British Ministry of Magic will be infiltrated and become untrustworthy. Therefore, he plans to use the Triwizard Tournament to find help in advance. .

Dumbledore's emphasis on Voldemort made little Barty both proud and troublesome. The old guy was indeed a huge trouble!

He didn't expect that he would know such important information just by pretending to be his father and working for a day at the Ministry of Magic.

Unfortunately……

‘The time is after the World Cup, it’s too far away. ’

The time span of more than half a year made Barty Jr. feel a little regretful. The Dark Lord couldn't wait that long, otherwise he might be able to make good use of it.

'We still have to find other ways to go to Hogwarts and take Harry Potter away. ’

"Speaking of which, who are the principals of Durmstrang and Beaubaston?" Little Barty asked doubtfully.

"The principal of Bubaston Magic School is Ms. Olim Maxim. She is a big woman." Ludo said teasingly. Even in the magic world, a height of nearly three meters is very special. His words seemed to express his suspicion about the identity of the lady.

"As for Durmstrang, you are very familiar with it." Ludo laughed softly, "Igor Karkarov, you tried him before, right? Later, this kid ran to Northern Europe. I think I’m the principal now.”

Ludo smiled and shook his head, as if saying that things are impermanent.

"Is it him?" Little Barty's disguised face showed an expression of disgust. He wanted to kill such a hateful traitor!

Unlike Malfoy, Karkaroff is a traitor through and through. Malfoy only used the excuse of being cast on the "Imperius Curse" to deny the fact that he was a Death Eater immediately after the fall of the Dark Lord, but Karkaroff Karloff was completely different. He had his sentence reduced by betraying other Death Eaters. Such a traitor will definitely be liquidated after the Dark Lord makes his comeback!

Even little Barty couldn't wait that long. He couldn't wait to appear in front of Karkaroff right now and cut off his head!

No, he should be allowed to continue serving the Dark Lord!

After all, casting a resurrection spell requires the sacrifice of a servant's flesh.

Little Barty was thinking maliciously, but Ludo suddenly grinned and smiled gleefully: "But his good days are numbered."

"What's the meaning?"

"I also heard from my friends in Bulgaria that he doesn't seem to be the principal for long." Ludo was vague, and the general meaning was that there was another more suitable candidate about to take office.

Little Barty is not surprised by this. Although Durmstrang is more tolerant of black magic, it is not a school that specializes in cultivating dark wizards, let alone a person like Karkaroff. His temperament and strength are simply small. Like a rat in the gutter.

"I know." Little Barty sorted out his thoughts, and then separated from Ludo.

Little Barty was thinking about it until he returned to his office.

"If Karkaroff can still serve as the principal of Durmstrang, there will be more use value. If he loses this position, then the only thing he can offer the Dark Lord is his small life!"

Controlling a magic school is very beneficial to the long-term development of Death Eaters. Through the school, young wizards are educated, so that they can become the reserve army of Death Eaters and cultivate a group of truly capable wizards!

The previous Death Eaters seemed even more incompetent because they had too many losers like Peter Pettigrew and Igor Karkaroff!

Would it be difficult for someone like Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix or Grindelwald's Wiccan Party to conquer Europe and take over the world?

But this is also because the Dark Lord chose the British wizarding world, which is the most difficult to attack from the beginning. Otherwise, the Death Eaters may not be as influential as the Wiccan Party.

Of course, Barty Jr. would not think that this was Voldemort's fault. On the contrary, he believed that Voldemort was right to set his sights on Britain from the beginning, because the Dark Lord knew that his biggest obstacle was in Britain——

Albus Dumbledore!

No matter how much Barty Jr. hates this man, he has to admit Dumbledore's strength. But on the other hand, even Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald couldn't defeat the Dark Lord?

If it hadn’t been for that prophecy, it’s not certain what would have happened today!

Little Barty is still full of confidence in Voldemort, and this confidence is not groundless. He has seen Voldemort's strength with his own eyes, and his power is evident from the fact that no one dares to pronounce his name.

Although this is because Voldemort cast a spell on his name, now that Voldemort has been "dead" for more than ten years and the Death Eaters have dispersed, this name still changes people's minds when they hear it, which speaks volumes.

Little Barty replaced his father in the office. Unexpectedly, he was very capable and could handle almost all matters in the Ministry of Magic very well. In the afternoon, Fudge came over and told him about the Triwizard Tournament.

He had a stiff face and looked at Fudge with an unhappy expression: "This is my job. I will contact the French Ministry of Magic and Scandinavia."

Rather, it was just what he wanted.

Dumbledore wants to seek international help, and Barty Jr. does not intend to let the Death Eaters be confined to a small UK like they did more than ten years ago.

After sending away the fat Fudge, little Barty took off his disguise and lay lazily on the chair, thinking about what to do next.

"The top priority is to find a way to resurrect the Dark Lord, otherwise we will never have the capital to fight Dumbledore, and the impostor must also pay attention." Barty made a decision quickly.

The next day, when Barty Crouch came to work at the Ministry of Magic again, everyone felt that he was a little confused.

Barty Jr. cast the Imperius Curse on his father, forcing his father to help the Dark Lord do things, while he himself targeted Remus Lupin.

Few people know that Remus Lupin, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, is a werewolf.

Of course, this is not a secret among Voldemort, because there was once such a betrayer who handed over all Lupin's information to him.

"Werewolf, hum!" Little Barty walked through the dark jungle with a disdainful laugh. Under the bright night, he stood still and looked at an isolated wooden shack from a distance.

It was a famous haunted house in the British wizarding world, the Screaming Shack.

About twenty years ago, horrific legends began to spread here. Every full-moon night, terrifying howls would come one after another, making people wonder if there were any monsters sealed inside.

Now, the monster is back!

"The Dark Lord said that the werewolf would drink the potion made by Snape and stay here for a whole week." Little Barty did not approach rashly.

Wolfsbane potion can keep a werewolf awake during transformation, but it will not weaken the werewolf's power. Little Barty would not dare to fight a rational werewolf.

Like other magical creatures, werewolves have excellent magic resistance. Ordinary spells have almost no effect on werewolves. Even many black magic can only make the werewolf's charging body pause for a moment.

Moreover, the werewolf moves very fast, and Barty can't even guarantee that his spell will hit.

All he has to do now is wait for dawn.

Little Barty leaned against a thick tree trunk and closed his eyes.

On a January night, the weather was still very cold, and the heavy snow in the forest had not melted at all. Remus Lupine curled up with his rugged body and looked at the moonlight streaming in through the window sill.

His body didn't feel cold at all, but his heart was very sad.

Wolfsbane potion can keep werewolves sane while transforming, which greatly prevents the werewolf group from accidentally injuring other wizards due to madness. It can be said to be a magic potion like salvation. From this aspect , Lupine was very grateful to Damocles Belby, the wizard who invented wolfsbane, and even more grateful to Snape, who made the potion for him regardless of past grudges.

However, on the other hand, for wizards like Lupine who are unfortunately infected with wolfsbane, watching themselves soberly turning into a monster is another kind of torture.

In the past, he couldn't see what he looked like when transforming, let alone think about the tragedy of being a werewolf.

But now, all this is bloody before our eyes.

Lupine lowered his head and glanced at the thick arms covered with fur, his eyes showing sadness for his fate. Even though Dumbledore was generous and trusting of him, it could not change the fact that he was an anomaly.

And it's the kind of monster that's full of danger!

Even unintentionally, a werewolf's claws can harm innocent people.

Lupine felt a mixture of happiness and fear as he thought about Sirius and the pleasant time he had spent with Harry.

If his identity is discovered, he may return to wandering without a fixed abode.

For this, Lupine was a little more grateful to Snape. Although Snape always thought of ways to let the little wizard know his identity when he was a substitute teacher last semester, he never said it openly. This was considered a complete favor to Lupine.

As for now, the substitute teacher was Sirius, so Lupine had nothing to worry about.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ping found that the hair on his arms began to recede, and his thick torso became thin again. He raised his head, stretched out his hand to touch the not-smooth skin on his face, and looked out the window, where The light became more dazzling.

Its daybreak!

The werewolf stood up with a weak face, leaving all his burden behind, and walked step by step towards the bright snow outside the door.

He turned around and saw that there seemed to be a weak shadow hugging his knees in the dark corner of the shack, that was his cowardly self.

Lupine grabbed a handful of snow and applied it to his face. The biting coldness made him sober up. He stepped forward, and the smooth snow made a "creep" sound.

The Forbidden Forest in the heavy snow was very quiet, except for an unexpected curse:

"Collapse!"

As we all know, Defense Against the Dark Arts is a cursed subject!
