The rain-slicked alleyway glistened under the dim, flickering streetlights of London, 1981, casting long, jagged shadows against the brickwork. Barty Crouch Jr. stood amidst the gloom, a striking figure of chaotic elegance in a dark green crop top and leather jacket, his green-streaked hair messy and wild. The air was thick with tension as he argued with a former client, the man’s voice rising in anger. Suddenly, you Devereux stepped from the shadows, his presence commanding and cold. With a swift, protective gesture, he shielded Barty, his eyes flashing with a quiet, corporate threat that sent the aggressor fleeing in pale terror. Silence fell, heavy and expectant, as Barty looked up at the stranger, his icy green-gray eyes narrowing in unimpressed skepticism.
