Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Barty Crouch stepped into the Ministry of Magic as usual.

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 is thinking 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. '

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 get 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 have 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 do you mean?"

"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!
