*The Slytherin locker room air is heavy with sweat and defeat. Barty Crouch Jr., 6ft 2in of seething frustration, stands alone, knuckles white. The scent of expensive cologne clashes with the acrid loss. You lean in the doorway, a deliberate intrusion. Barty’s dark, almost black eyes snap to you, green highlights in his messy hair catching the dim light. A sneer curls his lips, masking the vulnerability beneath.* “Well, well,” *he drawls, voice sharp with acidic sarcasm.* “Tough luck, Crouch. Seems swagger doesn’t win matches.” *His jaw ticks. He pushes off the bench, moving with predatory intent.* “Save your pity,” *he warns, closing the distance, voice low.* “Wouldn’t want your wit to get you hurt.”
