Rosekiller Headcannons:

Pt. 1

Some of these are my own and others are ones I agree with so if some seem familiar that’s why lol. Enjoy!!!!!! Gosh I love them so much. I need like a semi canonical fic of them stat.

* I like to think that Barty was the sweetest of souls when he was younger, but the constant abuse from his father and the cold world damaged him a lot. He also is bipolar so ya know…. Uhhh… yeah…😅

* Barty has long and slender fingers and it would always drive Evan nuts when Barty would wear rings on his hands and nervously play with them

* Barty also developed a tick/constant habit of darting hit tongue out of his mouth to wet his lips. Evan never learned why he did it but found it oddly endearing.

* I feel like Barty couldn't fall asleep without like a million pillows. Unless he had Evan. He would have the best sleep of his life when he slept with Evan.

* Barty will Call Evan Dimples

* The Infamous Three™ know French so they talk in it when they want to say shit about other people.

Evan knows German but rarely uses it.

Barty knows Italian and oh boy, his Italian. Evan got so hard the first time Barty started talking in Italian that he thought he was going to cream his pants. Barty talks in Italian when he drinks which is Evan's worst nightmare since Barty becomes even more flirty when drunk. Every time Barty calls him "mio amato" (my beloved), Evan MELTS (he stills swears he is straight™ and not completely in love with Barty).

When Barty wants to talk about Evan without being pried on, he talks on Italian. Reg knows Spanish and they make it work.

* Barty is Scottish and Evan is French.

* Barty picked up a bunch of languages by the age of 15 because his father decided it was mandatory for his son. Crouch Sr. canonically knows around 200 languages

* barty loves the snow. he could spend hours out in the cold without a warming charm if it weren't for his friends getting onto him about him possibly getting sick. he loves sledding down the hills at hogwarts, racing his friends to see who wins. he always does. he also likes snowball fights, building a snowman, and making snow angels. it was something him and his mother cherished so he likes to bask in those precious memories when he can.

* conversely, evan hates snow. his faces crinkles up at the sight of it. he makes sure he bundles himself up and uses warming charms as much as he can. most of the time he sits watching his friends enjoy the snow, throwing snowballs at each other. then barty just shows up with that damned smile of his, his eyes full of wonder at the snow falling down. barty will shoot him a grin just before he throws a snowball. sure, evan hates the snow, but he does genuinely appreciate how happy it makes his boyfriend.

* it is a matter of fact that Barty and Evan spoiled each other constantly, with materialistic things or with kisses and hugs.

* Evan’s birthday is June 20th

* Barty loved to doodle. He would sometimes just grab a marker or something and gently and carefully draw on Evan’s hands or arms. Whichever was easiest to doodle on at the time.

* Barty is secretly a book worm and could talk for days on end to Evan about what he reads.

* Evan isn't much of a reader but he will read anything if Barty suggests it to him, because he absolutely loves seeing him ramble. Barty will also annotate books for him when he borrows them. Don’t get him started on the love poems.

* Barty is so smart. But like in the doesn't need to try smart - tests come easy to him sort of smart

* Evan is completely and totally scared of all bugs ever, and he has to get reg or barty to kill them when they get into the dorm. Barty will sometimes terrorize him by bring the bug really close to him in his hand. Evan screams bloody murder every time. Barty gets such a kick out of it lol.

* When someone asks Barty if he wasn’t something to eat, he’ll say ‘you’ in a deadpan tone (mainly to Evan)

* Evan is possessive as fuck, he will actually glare anyone down that even looks in Barty's direction and will proceed to plan a murder.

* Evan was just a little bit more unhinged than Barty was at Hogwarts. But after school, and after he was a legal adult, Barty let loose and they were both unhinged together!!😁

* Barty and Evan share beds a ton, and the first time it happened was because Barty was having a hard day and Evan snuck in and held him through the night,

* Barty also has nightmares and instinctively looks for evan when he wakes up; Evan is always there

* Barty secretly proposed to Evan when they were 16. No one knew about it. Ever. And no one could ever tell because they almost always both wore rings. So they were engaged until Evan died, because they never got to get married because of all the “no gay marriage!!” In the 70s/80s

* I like to think Barty fell first but when Evan fell for him too Barry’s love grew deeper once he had him. So basically he fell first and he also fell harder.

* Barty never holds people's hands, he just wraps his fingers around their wrist. Friends or Lovers.

Evan has no idea why, maybe it's a preference or something?

Barty actually does it to check if the person he's with has a pulse and is real, a small reassurance for his anxiety

* evan has brown eyes, and barty collects rocks when they match the color perfectly. He’s kinda like a crow that way. He will find things that remind him of Evan, or that make him think of him, and he will give them to Evan. He keeps every single one.

* Barty has deep emerald green eyes.

* Evan adores it when Barty runs his fingers through his hair. He gets shivers down his spine every time.

* They both actively tried to summon ghosts

* Evan has like really bad circulation so he's like ALWAYS cold. And Barty is always a furnace

* Barty would often just bite Evan’s shoulder. Evan eventually go a tattoo of Barry’s bite marks on his left shoulder.

* Harley Quinn and Barty Crouch Jr. are interchangeable and you cannot convince me otherwise.

* Like, “what’s that I should kill everyone in escape? oh sorry, it’s the voices… I’m kidding!!! that��s not what they actually said.”

* Evan would often put his hand on Barry’s throat and Barty lived for every second of it. The Horny Bastard.

* I just know that Barty and Evan had so many dramatic break ups over the pettiest things

* They did it so they could have hate sex🤣🤣

* Barty would always tell Evan that he hopes that he would die first. He always said he never wanted to live in a world where Evan wasn’t in it….

* The skittles(Barty, Evan, Reggie, Panda, and Dorcas) all made an unbreakable vow that only death would do them part… and it did…

* Everyone thinks that they can’t stand each other when in public, but alone, or just with their friends, they are literally unbearable

* Evan wears baggy clothes and Barty wears tight clothes. Fight me on this.

* Also Evan has the sluttiest waist known to mankind.

* The fist Slytherin party that Evan actually danced at, he was so insecure. So Barty convinced him that no one was looking at Evan and that they were just looking at Barty. And after a few drinks, Barty had convinced Evan of that and he just let lose. And holy shit were they hot together. Kinda like the song by Sabrina carpenter if u know what I mean….

* Like, Barty would say “They aren’t even looking at you Ev, they’re looking at me.” Then Evan would say, “But I don’t want them to look at you Barty.”

* Evan took his shirt off a few times at a couple of party’s and literally all eyes were on him but he didn’t care cus Barty was there, Hands tightly secured to his waist and glaring at anyone who even glanced at Evan.

* Barty is a pyromaniac, and when that happens only Dorcas and Pandora can settle it. Evan can too but he usually just enables him🤣

* When Evan goes missing it doesn’t take Barty long to figure out he is dead. It totally sent him off the deep end and caused him to put all of his devotion into the only thing he had left, Voldemort.

* Also, once he found out Evan was dead he went straight to Pandora. She was the only one of their friends would would even think about talking to him. He was miserable, he wouldnt leave his room at Pandoras house for days.

* I am also completely convinced that Bartemius Crouch Sr had Evan assassinated after he found out about him and Barty.

* Like you know how canonically moody was trying to take him prisoner, but Evan was fighting so damn hard that Moody had to kill him. I think that was his order along. You can’t convince me otherwise. that is what happened.

* When he is posing as Moody, Barty finds out about this and kills his dad because of it. And also because of the god awful abuse. Duh.🙄

* Also, a little before torturing Alice and Frank Longbottom, Barty tried to obliviate himself so he would just forget Evan and Regulus because the pain of losing them was too much. In his attempt, because his emotions were so high, he messed it up and he went insane. This also caused him to halusenate Evan and Regulus. The halusenations of them were the ones who convinced him that Alice and Frank killed Evan. (Barty already knew how Regulus died.)

* Regulus told Kreature to tell Evan and Barty how he died, knowing they would keep his secret. And they did until they died.

what do you think would have happened to the plot if harry defeated voldemort in gof? what would happen to death eaters? and the ministry? and do you think harry would be seen as a saviour in 5th year instead of a liar like in the original book?

What Happens to the Death Eaters?

Nothing.

Most of them remain imprisoned without Voldemort to release them. They're still waiting for the any day now day when he will return and they will have glorious revolution once again.

Karkoroff probably flees back to Durmstrang but this time there's no Voldemort to kill him horribly for trying to run. Peter probably manages to survive the encounter with Harry by running away and is hiding as a common rat again and probably trying to become someone's pet (he had it pretty good at the Weasleys). Snape is still a Hogwarts professor. Lucius is still living the high life having pretended he was imperiused the whole time. Given Barty was caught when Harry returned and confronted him, and I don't see that changing, Barty is still probably sentenced to death by dementor kiss.

The Ministry

This one's a bit of a pickle.

The question is does Cedric still die?

If Cedric lived, then there's no smear campaign. Fudge is not having his position threatened by the Dark Lord having possibly returned, instead, Crouch shot himself in the foot and bled out in the street. Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory were just kidnapped by the Death Eater son Barty Crouch had freed from prison, who also killed Barty Sr., and who tried to resurrect the Dark Lord. Given that this tournament was Fudge's baby and Fudge had nothing to do with it (versus Voldemort returning meaning Fudge has to deal with it/quell panic of the people) means Fudge can pin it all on dead Barty with delight and show how great he is by comparison.

Fudge doesn't love Cedric and Harry insisting "the Dark Lord totally came back for five minutes off screen but don't worry he's dead for real again" but he's choosing not to pay attention to that and says "shut up boys" when they try to talk about it.

If Cedric died then we have a problem because Harry doesn't look good. Here Harry's transported to the stage with a dead Cedric, claiming the cup was secretly a portkey where the Dark Lord who's been dead for ten years resurrected himself, but don't worry because Harry killed him for good again this time so you won't find any evidence of this having happened.

With that much money on the line, with Harry having a history of incidents from previous years, with the dead body hanging out, and the excuse being "I swear the Dark Lord rose from the dead, stabbed Cedric, then immediately died again!" It's looking like Harry murdered Cedric or, if being very kind to him, Harry had some kind of an episode in the trauma of having witnessed Cedric dying somehow.

There's no smear campaign, as Harry isn't claiming the Dark Lord is back (he's dead again remember), so no one wants to publicize that Harry may have probably did murder Cedric. Cedric's father, of course, blames Harry as he did canonically at the time and probably presses for a murder trial but I imagine he's told to shut it because Harry's the boy who lived and you can't just go accusing him of murder (even when he probably certainly did it).

Is Harry Viewed as a Savior

Once again, depends who you ask.

The Order and Harry's close friends, as well as Dumbledore, very much believe that Harry fought Voldemort again and killed him off screen in ten minutes. Harry's done this every year he's been at Hogwarts, it's nothing new, and nice that he's dead for real this time (even though he was dead for real last time too).

However, everyone else I imagine is on the fence with many thinking he killed Cedric, that this Dark Lord thing certainly never happened, and not wanting to believe it or think about it or else choosing carefully not to say it.

waitt i need to know why you hc ludo bagman as a genuine death eater sympathiser omg. that sounds fascinating

thank you very much for the ask, pal!

that bagman was really a death eater sympathiser is something i've been committed to believing since i first read goblet of fire, but it's something i've been pondering particularly recently as part of writing subluxation, which is a big look at the set-up and function of the wizarding state during voldemort's takeover in 1997-1998 from the perspective of percy weasley.

which means - of course - that it requires a bit of grappling with percy's main man - and bagman's frenemy - barty crouch sr.

the way the canon narrative - not only harry's perspective but also characters harry implicitly trusts, like sirius and dumbledore - wants us to react to crouch sr. is something that really interests me. because i think it's reasonable to say that - while the series doesn't regard him as a villain villain, per se [as it does for characters such as umbridge] - it doesn't see him as someone we are supposed to regard in a particularly positive light either, even after the reveal that barty crouch jr. was a death eater and his father was justified in sending him to azkaban [even if he didn't keep him there...]

crouch - like cornelius fudge, rufus scrimgeour, and percy himself - is a victim of the narrative's general consensus that ministry workers who are not under the impression that the ministry cannot function admirably or efficiently without input from dumbledore are people we should have no real respect for. he is shown, in his canon appearances, to be something of a jobsworth - officious and dull and uncreative in his thinking, which serves both as a personification of what the series thinks about the civil service and as a narrative device to make the reveal that he broke his son out of prison and kept him, essentially, drugged at home all the more shocking.

but crouch is also interesting in another sense - in that he is not a villain, but that he does not fit into the way the series categorises the behaviour of its heroes surrounding mercy.

we are told in goblet of fire that crouch - as head of the department of magical law enforcement in the 1970s - was responsible for the escalating harshness of the government's response to voldemort. policies such as the instructions for aurors to shoot to kill if they encountered suspected death eaters and the use of internment without trial of those accused of collusion with voldemort [both of which, as i am always banging on about, are references to the actual behaviour of the british state in northern ireland during the same time period] emanate directly from him.

and this ties into a theme which is prominent in the run of books between prisoner of azkaban and half-blood prince: that the world is not split into good people and death eaters. the purpose of these central books in the series is to show that - once harry's worldview widens from the hogwarts-exclusive focus it has in the first two, more childlike, books - the rot in the wizarding world goes far beyond voldemort. the wizarding state is shown - time and time again - to be cruel, corrupt, prejudiced, and stagnant, and the ministry's most loyal bureaucrats and their unwillingness towards mercy are largely blamed for this situation.

because of course - as i have complained about before - the morality of the harry potter series is individualist. good and evil are located by the text within the individual, which means that states and their institutions are automatically less interesting to it than singular heroes and villains in an epic baddies-versus-goodies showdown.

but it's also true that - as a protagonist - harry's morality is extremely self-serving. by which i mean that he has a tendency to reach black-and-white judgements on people he encounters - they're good if they're nice to him, they're bad if they're cruel to him - and to never deviate from them.

and - indeed - to never have to deviate from them. it's worth saying that harry's conversion rate on being right about people is really high - his immediate dislike of characters such as draco malfoy, lockhart, and umbridge is entirely justified; his immediate trust of characters such as sirius is the same. his only misjudgments relate to characters who are crucial to the narrative outside of harry's feelings towards them - he's wrong to trust the teenage tom riddle in chamber of secrets, he's wrong to trust the fake "moody" in goblet of fire, he's wrong to trust "bathilda bagshot" in deathly hallows, and he is, of course, wrong about both snape and dumbledore.

but - outside of this - his judgements are usually proven to be right [and, indeed, his good instincts are lampshaded by the narrative in deathly hallows, when lupin literally says this]. and so we are supposed to assume, i think, that character judgements he makes which we see no broader resolution to are correct.

for example - harry's conviction that stan shunpike is under the imperius curse is never taken by the text as anything other than true. there is no suggestion whatsoever that harry is wrong and that stan - a young, working-class man with delusions of grandeur, who would presumably be reasonably easy to radicalise - might be a genuine supporter of voldemort, and harry's complete certainty that stan is falsely imprisoned [with the callbacks this gives to his feelings about sirius' treatment] isn't used by the narrative as an example of him being naive and self-righteous, but as an example of the fundamental goodness, sensibleness and mercifulness of his character which justifies his ascent to an allegory for christ in the latter stages of deathly hallows.

and the same applies to ludo bagman. when harry witnesses his trial, he finds the suggestion that he might have been a death eater absurd, clearly finds the jury's immediate dismissal of it amusing, and is unsympathetic to crouch when he is infuriated by bagman's acquittal. he takes dumbledore's assurance that bagman has never been accused of any nefarious activity since without question [something he does not do for snape] and his view throughout goblet of fire - much as it is for stan - is that bagman is seedy and not particularly clever, but that he is also such a transparently ridiculous person that to suspect him of being someone voldemort would care about is idiotic, and that crouch's inability to bang him up in azkaban on spurious charges can only - given what happened to sirius - be a good thing.

but the issue is that - notwithstanding his commitment to extrajudicial punishment - barty crouch sr. is... clearly right to investigate bagman thoroughly.

we are told in order of the phoenix that voldemort's power depends on a vast network of ministry informants. we are shown in deathly hallows that his coup is only successful because almost the entirety of the civil service remains in post. we are shown time and time again throughout canon that voldemort's views - on blood-supremacy and magic-supremacy, on the supposed value of maintaining the class system - are incredibly mainstream political opinions, and we can infer from this that a majority of the population of wizarding britain have the view sirius tells us his parents did: that, while they're uneasy with voldemort's violence and while they're certainly not paid-up death eaters, they think voldemort has the right idea.

dumbledore - and the order - are shown throughout canon to be preoccupied with the big fish. the death eaters they target are voldemort's inner circle - the marked loyalists he trusts as generals. we never see - outside of the snatchers - the lower-profile but infinitely more important cogs in voldemort's machine: the people who traffic stolen goods and lift ministry secrets from filing cabinets and observe potential recruits in pubs and pass gossip along whisper networks until it reaches the dark lord. the sort of people crouch clearly wanted to eradicate, but couldn't find the goodwill within the ministry to do so.

bagman can easily fit this profile - he's presumably a pureblood or a half-blood and raised in the wizarding world, since his parents canonically have at least one wizarding friend [augustus rookwood]; he is clearly relaxed about making use of the class system, since he expects to finesse a job out of rookwood when his professional quidditch career ends; and he is possessed of extremely dubious morals. we also know that pleading ignorance of who you were working for was a famously successful - and, presumably, voldemort-sanctioned - way of getting away with having colluded with the death eaters. it makes just as much sense - then - for bagman's "oh, i just thought i was chatting about state secrets with rookwood as a mate" act to be in the same vein as lucius malfoy pretending to be under the imperius curse as it does for him to actually have been that dumb, and so it makes sense for him to have gone actively looking for information he could pass to rookwood because of some sympathies [even if they were uneasy ones] with rookwood's cause.

do i think he was a marked death eater? no - i think voldemort couldn't pick him out of a line-up and he never achieved anything other than being an informant rookwood could tap for details and documents he could pass up to his master if they looked interesting.

but this would have been what voldemort's ministry infiltration actually looked like - and it is a much more insidious, and interesting, concept than loads of aristocrats fighting and being sexy, which i think is really worth exploring when we think about wizarding politics.

A friend asked me if I thought Barty Crouch Jr is the Sirius who was sorted into Slytherin - and I realized Barty is the opposite side of the coin of Sirius.

Barty was sorted into Slytherin at the start of the war - and Voldemort’s supporters had been growing for a decade. So I don’t think Crouch Sr wanted his son anywhere near that house.

The housemates Barty had were literally the people Crouch Sr despised and wanted to throw in prison. They were people that Barty Crouch Sr literally had hunted down as cruelly as possible. By the time Barty graduated, I promise you that at least some of the people he had known personally had been arrested or even killed by his father’s aurors. That has to be chilling for a kid.

We know that Crouch Sr despised the Dark Arts and came down hard on established families like the Lestranges.

I think that Arthur is a decent parallel to Crouch Sr - the Weasleys are also a Sacred 28 family that find blood purity politics despicable. I think that Arthur feels especially strongly about speaking out about families like the Malfoys because Arthur is pure blood and he hates being lumped in with Dark Art practicing bigots.

And that is very much the energy that I see from Crouch Sr. He has a deep need to decry and destroy Dark Arts and I think he felt disgusted by blood purism. While I don’t think Crouch Sr would ever brawl in a bookshop, I think Crouch Sr would love to take Malfoy down and see Lucius rot in jail with the rest of them.

Okay. Back to Sirius. (I do love you, Siri)

The two have so many parallels. This post is a good breakdown of how much of Sirius’s interpretation of Barty’s situation was likely projecting and what it says about his own family.

They both were raised in powerful families, had high expectations put on them, and in whatever way didn’t live up to them. They both had at least one cruel parent. And another parent who, at minimum, didn’t protect them. (It’s generally suspected Orion was also cruel - it is possible he was just absent)

They’re both smart and talented. I wish we could see more of Barty as Barty but what he did as Moody - holy fuck the boy is skilled. That’s after a decade of house arrest and imperius following years in Azkaban.

I doubt he was allowed a wand. I imagine he spent a lot of time just reading and it’s a skill to be able to turn reading into practical application.

Sirius is reportedly quite skilled as well.

They were both rejected by their families.

But on opposite sides.

Barty Crouch Sr is head of magical law enforcement. I think the Blacks are like the Malfoys - they didn’t follow the laws properly. They certainly had loads of dark artefacts. I imagine most of them were illegal. Crouch Sr and the Blacks were on opposite sides.

The Blacks also seemed to have a lot more ancestral politics and expectations. It’s generally assumed heirs and proper heterosexual pureblood were expected. Admittedly I don’t know if this was stated, but it’s a strong assumption. So Sirius was expected to marry for power and to improve the family name - love had no place there.

We don’t know, but I suspect Crouch Sr didn’t subscribe to this. He had no problem throwing his son in Azkaban even though it would mean the end of the Crouch line unless Sr had another son. Which there’s no evidence he tried to do. I think Barty was likely discouraged from dating until after he was well established in his career and warned that dalliances were distractions.

So Sirius would have been raised being groomed to take on a role on an illegal family and taught underhanded methods. Barty would have been raised being groomed to take on a position of political power and uphold the law with cruel, emotionless force.

I think they were both taught to see all interpersonal relationships as means to an end. You don’t befriend people because you like them and get on - you make alliances with people who can help you achieve your goals.

So neither of them were given healthy love and support growing up. Neither were shown how to form healthy emotional attachments even with friends. Both of them were likely trained to focus on relationships with others as a means to an end and had high expectations placed on them that had nothing to do with their individual wants and needs and desires.

And both of them were sorted into a house full of people their family found despicable and actively worked to destroy.

Although Crouch Sr worked a lot more effectively.

Barty is actually, honestly, a far more tragic version of Sirius.

He had no James. His father had far more power.

Alright we’ve already established that Barty is like a high achiever right?

He’d go out of his way to at least try and make his father a bit proud, getting the best grades, to get his attention. And when that didn’t work he started messing around, he decided he’d get his attention by being an awful son, but he’d still maintain the good grades for his mothers sake, to make her proud.

Bc we all know Barty loved his mother sm right?

in my head barty only got all of his O.W.L.s bc his dad was all like "our son isnt smart!" after he was sorted into slytherin instead of ravenclaw, so obviously barty had to put in a shit ton of effort into his grades,

not bc he wanted to make his father proud, but because that man runs off of pure spite, he aced all of his classes to the point that he surpassed his father in academics to shove it in that old fuck's face,

What if, in PoA, Buckbeak's trial had been on a non-full moon day, meaning Remus didn’t transform and Peter would have been brought to Dumbledore?

Well, the thing is, Dumbledore's in a bit of a bind with this one.

Dumbledore, Bones, and Crouch Sr were the ones with the authority who sent Sirius to prison with no trial/no investigation of any kind in which Sirius was asked any questions or given veritiserum.

Fudge at this period of time will jump on this chance to oust Bones but more importantly discredit Crouch Sr and utterly ruin any chance he has of reviving his political career (Fudge and Crouch Sr are bitter political rivals and within a few months Crouch Sr is reviving the Triwizard Tournament in a bid to put himself on the map again, the last thing Fudge wants).

Fudge doesn't care too much about Dumbledore, the pair aren't at odds yet and somewhat cooperate with each other despite Dumbledore not being thrilled about the dementors on campus, but he'd be a casualty that Fudge is easily willing to risk.

Now, if Dumbledore was the only one who knew, then he might do something to prevent the scandal/potential loss of any of his positions. Peter would have a little accident before he could be handed over to the authorities and "oh, how tragic, now we have no proof, well Sirius I guess you have to live in a basement somewhere", but the way things were headed the ministry would hear soon enough including those not in Dumbledore's pocket.

So, Dumbledore goes all in. He's appalled that he never thought to question whether or not Sirius was the true secret keeper and sees this as a deep personal failing. He will do everything in his power to right this wrong and convince Crouch Sr and Bones to apologize publicly as well.

Pettigrew's swiftly put on trial then sent to Azkaban before anyone can blink and much to do is made of Sirius's recuperating and reentering society. I imagine Dumbledore gives him a staff position at Hogwarts, noting this way he can catch up with Harry, and to keep him happy and from not having too much resentment.

As for Voldemort, honestly, nothing changes. He wasn't exactly hiding in Albania. If you went to Albania, you tended to find the guy. He's like the Ring, he wants to be found.

This means that Barty gets to nurse Voldemort back to health and Barty's able to put together the Triwizard Tournament sabotage Harry plan.

There are likely some minor differences as Barty's going to have to be at the ritual site to lose a hand in the cauldron, which means he's not confronted afterwards by Harry and likely lives.

Canon proceeds otherwise as usual.

All the hate towards Snape for possibly being the reason Sirius was put in azkaban, bc he might''ve known about Peter, yet none towards the man who deliberately put Sirius in without a trial. Who also was a lousy father.

Ok I’ve seen asks about Barty Crouch’s involvement with Sirius’s imprisonment a few times. I’ve neglected answering them for now, but since this is like the third or fourth time I’ve gotten a similar ask (who I assume was sent by the same person more than once), I’d like to share my take on this.

I personally disagree with you, Nonnie, I don’t think Barty Crouch was at all to blame when it came to Sirius’s imprisonment. I don’t even blame Dumbledore, the only ones I blame are Sirius and Peter (obviously). A lot of y’all like to say “Dumbledore/Barty Crouch put Sirius in prison without a trial!!!!” when it really isn’t true, many forget that Sirius didn’t even deny the crime and was literally caught in the act. The only reason DEs like the Lestranges even had a trial is because they were under suspicion of committing those crimes, so they at least had the chance of denying their involvement. Sirius didn’t do anything to stop himself from getting arrested nor did he even deny it — it wasn’t because he had actually committed the crime, but because he felt immense guilt over his recommendation of having the Potters switch Secret Keepers to the point where he felt that he deserved to be imprisoned because of it. If Sirius had protested, said that he was framed, and yelled out that Peter was actually the murderer, don’t you think Dumbles would’ve done something about that? Or y’know… maybe if Sirius’s very much alive best friend of ten years had went and begged Dumbledore for a trial because he hadn’t automatically assumed that his best friend turned out to be a mass-murderer and a traitor, something could have been arranged. But that didn’t happen.

Also, there was no possibility of Snape knowing about Peter. Contrary to what many people like to say, it makes zero sense. Whether you think Snape loved or was obsessed with Lily, it’s factual that Snape obviously didn’t want Lily to die. That’s shown when we see him literally going to Dumbles, despite thinking he would kill him (“Don’t kill me!”), because he so badly wanted to protect Lily and ensure her safety. Why on Earth would he keep quiet about Peter and risk getting her killed when that’s clearly not what he wants? All of this is putting aside that Karkaroff literally said that Voldemort kept all of his followers’ identities secret due to security reasons, because apparently that’s not enough proof for Snape antis.

Btw this is nothing against you anon. You’re pretty valid for thinking that given that it’s certainly an easy way of looking at things, I think it’s just an incorrect perspective.
