Bartimus Crouch Jr. Call me Barty. Just Barty. 2nd year Slytherin. Pureblood. Please don't touch the hair, it will refuse to lay flat no matter what you do.
David Tennant in The Spies of Warsaw (x)
“A spy is always the last person you’d expect it to be. Sometimes they’re right in the center of everything, the life of the party, the one loved by all… but sometimes they’re just a shadow. The one nobody notices, living their life in the dark because that’s where they feel most comfortable.”
-Barty Crouch
Barty giving Marlene an astronomy lesson.
“And that one there… that’s called Regulus. It’s the brightest star in the constellation Leo.”
“Wow! How do you know so much about stars Barty?”
“Many long nights of observations.”
(ooc: Goodbye Reg and Marlene! I’ll miss you!))
Day at the Ministry with Father and his colleagues.
“Look, here’s the young Crouch! He’s the spitting image of his old man!”
‘Look her you slytherin slag let’s get one think crystal alright…once they’ve been in my bed they only place they run is back into it. Fine I’ll help you out for a price….”
Gideon ran from the library headed for the Dungeons. A thousand plans flashed through his mind. How could he get rid of this pest.He skidded to a halt outside the portalhole to the slytherin common room.
“Come on wee snakey I have a date tonight so if you wouldn’t mind speeding it up.
Barty jogged along after the older boy, his heart still pounding unnaturally fast. He’d been expecting a beating for that comment. Perhaps all older boys were not like Rodolphus. At least not to the same extent. Barty wondered exactly what this “price” would be. He sincerely hoped it wasn’t more homework. He was already doing half the Slytherin 7th years’ homework plus his own and that of a few stray Gryffindors. He should really start charging…
“A date?” He couldn’t help asking. “Who with?”
Very subtly out of the corner of his mouth, he muttered the password and the rock slid to the side.
“None of your fucking business needle dick….but if you must know my girl, Marlene.”
Pushing past the younger lad he entered the Slytherin common room. This was a dream come true. Inklings of his payment were already forming in his head. Sure he’d help this snake, but the others were in for a rude awakening
Barty winced at the insult and tried to ignore the jump his heart gave at the mention of Marlene.
He ushered the older boy out of the common room before he could make a scene or anyone realized he wasn’t supposed to be there. The two boys began descending the winding staircase to Barty’s dormitory.
“You two are together again then?” He asked, trying to sound casual while biting back his fury. He still couldn’t wrap his head around why a person like Marlene was getting mixed up with someone like Prewett. As far as he could tell, the only thing she could get from him would be what he gave best: vulgarity and obscene sexual gestures. Marlene deserved so much more than that, especially with her being so unstable lately. Or maybe she was unstable from being around Gideon? “Got any big date plans? Apart from shagging?” He added quickly not wanting to be subject to every gory, lusty detail he was sure Gideon was eager to drop on him.
((ooc: I’ve got a round of exams coming up so I probably wont be able to get back to this until the beginning of the week after next, sorry about that! Drop me a message when you reply so I remember to get back to you!))

Barty could practically feel his blood boil. He hated being treated like an idiot. All he had wanted was a little help and advice (and maybe, just maybe the chance to get rid of that creepy rat he swore was watching him) but no, again it was more disrespect, more indifference, more cracks at his sexuality, why did everyone think he was gay? Certainly having Gideon shout it in the library didn’t help.
“You think I haven’t tried levitating it already? It’s not inanimate, it just comes right back!” Barty snapped, forgetting for the first time in their entire conversation to keep his voice low. “It’s not like your little “fuck buddies” who spend one night with you then have to run away from you for the rest of their lives!”
As soon as the words fell from his lips, Barty knew he had gone too far.

Barty tried to keep the blush from rising to his cheeks at the older boy’s words. Were all Gryffindors this vulgar and self-absorbed?
“I don’t recall ever kissing you Prewett and I’m sure if I did, I’d never be stupid enough to discuss it here.” A lot had happened the last time he’d been drunk but he’d thought he’d remembered most of it… at least he hoped Potter and Marlene were the only ones who had kissed him that night. He didn’t need a reputation like that clinging to him.
Barty decided to ignore the comment about lice for the time being. He didn’t want to be the one to tell Gideon that lice preferred an environment with lots of air exposure, although he doubted that would be a problem if Gideon’s reputation were anything to go on.
“I have a rat problem. Specifically, a particularly large rat that had taken up residence under my bed. I’d appreciate it if you could help me get my hands on some supplies tonight to get rid of it.”

ONE OF THE BEST LINES IN RP HISTORY BAHAHAHAHA ))
“Whatever little snakey….so you have a pest in your bed..what the fuck do you want me to do about it? Are you a wizard or just a queer? or a queer wizard? ANYway my point is use your wand and levitate it out of the room. There problem solved, but if you insist on being difficult. I do have a large range of items that I can get under Filch’s radar. What do you need? Hurry up now I have shit to do and people to fuck.”
Gideon at this point was trying to be a vulgar and brash as possible. Since he had not been around this lad much he needed to make an impression, and what was a better way of making sure someone remember you than scarring them. If Barty did not hurry up and start talking Gideon would have to do something ludicrous even for him to keep himself entertained.

Barty tried to focus on his transfiguration homework. Homework always calmed him. He could focus on work. Work didn’t involve other people and their confusing, difficult, infuriatingly impossible to predict actions. But he couldn’t focus tonight. Not when he kept glancing…
Barty brushed Gideon’s hand away. This was why he hated Gryffindors, they always thought they could just boss everyone around.
“I have absolutely no desire to kiss you, Prewett. One drunk kiss with Potter was bad enough…” And a certain other kiss… but no, he wasn’t thinking about that now. That was not why he wanted to talk to Gideon. The two boys were deep in the stacks now, no other students were visible.
“And I hardly think secrecy is necessary for what I want to talk to you about. Madame Pince probably isn’t going to care about my pest problems.” Barty sighed. Gryffindors were so stupid.
“Pest problems? Look if you have pubic lice go see Pomprey I am a busy bloke alright….and no need to lie about the kiss. Everyone wants me it’s alright.”
Gideon’s bell-like laughter is hear throughout the library causing a communal hush to follow. He leaned against the bookshelf nonchalantly, Barty and he barely knew each other he’s be lying if he sad he wasn’t curious about why he had be summoned.“Look kid conversations don’t need prying ears regardless of the topic alright!.”
Barty tried to keep the blush from rising to his cheeks at the older boy’s words. Were all Gryffindors this vulgar and self-absorbed?

Guy talk in the library @ Gideon
Barty tried to focus on his transfiguration homework. Homework always calmed him. He could focus on work. Work didn’t involve other people and their confusing, difficult, infuriatingly impossible to predict actions. But he couldn’t focus tonight. Not when he kept glancing up every two second to see if Gideon was here yet. His palms were sweating so much he couldn’t hold onto his quill. His heart was pounding deafeningly in his throat. Was this really such a good idea? Barty would never admit it out loud but he was terrified of most older students. Then again Rodolphus had a way of making all older students have a bad reputation. Still… did Barty really have to do this?
Well there wasn’t time to back out now. Gideon had just walked in.
Muggle clothes are so comfy! I should wear these more often…
(ooc: sorry for being inactive guys. Anyone want to para?)
