"Mummy!" A six year old boy with messy blond hair like straw with emerald eyes ran towards a twenty-one year old Harry Potter who was waiting at the school gates.

"Hey baby! How was school today?" Harry said happily, opening his arms out to pick up the blond.

"The other kids are bullying me! They keep saying that I'm gonna be a bad man like daddy because I have the same name." The blond cried, burying his face in Harry's shoulder.

"Oh honey...Morally, daddy wasn't the best man, but your daddy was a very sweet man to mummy, no matter how insane he got." Harry said with a sigh, his heart aching for his lost lover.

"If daddy was a bad man, how could you love him?"

"Your daddy, no matter how cruel he could be, was very loving and loyal, creative too. A smart man and a Ravenclaw to the bone."

"Can you tell me about how you feel in love with daddy again? I love that story." Harry smiled softly.

"Ah, where to begin. He was a professor. I remember I was walking to my common room when I bumped into him and he gave me a detention. So we went back to his chambers and we ended up talking. I found out your daddy wasn't who I thought he was and even through that we hit it off. After a while, we started to date secretly and two days after he was taken to Azkaban, I found out I was pregnant with you. Five months. I just thought I was getting fat." Harry chuckled. "I remember when I watched your daddy get the Dementor's kiss. Do you remember what they are?"

"Black cloaked monsters." The boy said with a scowl.

"Yes. When your father came out for the Kiss, I remember he had showed me his last act of love to me by showing his forearm to me. You remember uncle Draco's tattoo?"

"That dark snake and skull?"

"Yes. Your daddy had one and he scrapped it off his skin on one of the Azkaban stone walls. I remember the sadness in his eyes when he realised I was pregnant and he wouldn't be there to love you with me." Harry said with a frown.

"Mummy...Why did you name me after daddy?"

"Because, like Barty Crouch Jr, you Barty Crouch Potter, I hope will learn to love as wholly as your daddy did for mummy."

"I hope I'm just like daddy then." Barty promised.
