So here's my second Fanfic! I have been meaning to make a series of events that occurred after the Yule Ball like my past story but I became so caught up with life and the many events that occurred such as graduation, moving multiple times and such. No need to bore you with the details of my life though. A little insight into this story. I have always been fascinated by the story of Barty Crouch Jr. and I felt his story needed telling. I decided to write in a script format because I am more familiar with this and I thought it would be different. NOTE: I couldn't find the true Identity of mother Crouch so I just researched Harry Potter world names and looked for one that fit the description of her. So with out further adieu, lets get this show on the road!
SCENE 1: Packing Up
Characters: Barty Crouch Jr., Bartemius Crouch Sr., Irma Crouch
(Scene: London Suburb, Fall. Fade in on a lanky, pale boy sitting on a bench outside of a house. He is about 11 years old. He looks like the type of boy who is about to experience his first growth spurt, awkward inside his own body and anxious. The house is decent sized, and is very well taken care of. The type of house where you can tell the owners are quite well off, but aren't flashy. He is holding a wand, a piece of parchment that is unfolded, and several books. it is obvious that he is waiting and has been reading the same piece of parchment for a while now and frustrated he folds it back up and wedges it inside of his books. He stands and walks over to the car in the driveway peering in the window at his school trunk and grey spotted owl in it's cage, who seems to be waiting impatiently as well. He opens the door and speaks to the owl as if it is his best friend. )
BARTY : I know girl, soon enough we'll get to leave and after that it's just a little bit longer on the train then I can let you out.
(he digs around in a small pouch nearby and retrieves a treat, feeding it to his owl through the thick bars on the cage)
BARTY : I promise!
(A man in a suit walks out of the house along with a wispy looking woman, they we deep in conversation and the woman seemed to only be listening in the urge to get him moving along instead of working, as this was a very important day for Barty Jr. Barty straightened up turning slightly to face his parents,placing a hand on the door fram of the car)
BARTEMIUS : (mid-sentence) -And I quick to foot told him that if he wanted to remain working under me he MUST start organizing the files and reports in a much more organized fashion. Broomsticks and Bloodroots do not and SHOULD not be in the same cabinet. (sigh) The tortures we must endure with those less fortunate in this world to be born pure blood with no capable skills at all. I tell you this, It's a good thing I gave this young lad a job, however much time I must spend training him properly, his father is quite high up and it will only better my chances of becoming Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I'll tell you that much.
(He stops noticing his son and looks upon the car with a look of confusion and slight disapproval)
BARTEMIUS: Junior, my boy, did you load this car yourself? looks as though that might have been the case. What have I told you, time and time again? The elf shall be more than willing to load it for you, and of course she would do a much better job. Too late for that now however. We shall just have to settle with this for now. What are you waiting for, get in the car, all of you.
(Barty's mother walks over to Barty with a an excited smile. Barty's head has sunken in disappointment. He looks up at his mother.)
BARTY: I thought he was too busy to come see me off to school.
IRMA: Well my dear, it turns out he's not. Now put a smile on that face, this is a thrilling new day! I know he's very excited about this!
BARTY: (Rolls his eyes in dis-belief) Yeah right, I'm sure all he's really excited is to see if I make it into his house, and if I don't, I'm sure he's excited about giving me a lecture about how once again he's disappointed but it's "too late, and we must deal with these card we are dealt" ... We all know that I'm NOT a ravenclaw-
BARTEMIUS: Oh my I can remember my first day being sent off to Hogwarts. The excitement of being sorted into such a prestigious house as Ravenclaw. The mighty eagle-
BARTY & BARTEMIUS: (Barty mimicking Bartemius unenthusiastically) Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure!
(Barty looks up at his mother)
IRMA: See? you already have that memorized, and you know that I don't mind what ever house you're placed in, even if your place in my former. Hufflepuff could use a great boy like you, as could any of the houses would be lucky to have you.
(She is very motherly towards him as she smooths out his hair and gives him a kiss on the top of his head and they all pile into the car. Barty looks out the window at his childhood home being overall glad. Glad to start this new journey and glad to be free of his father, able to venture out and be independent, and finally able to do something for himself)
That's it for now! What house do you think Barty is going to get sorted into? It seems like he's a bit of a loner, right? how will he make friends? Please review! I will gladly take all criticism and ideas so please let me know what you think. :D I have a couple days off work in the next week and quite a lot of free time spent watching mindless TV, so i'm going to focus that energy into this Fanfic.
