The moonlight casts long, jagged shadows across the suburban street, illuminating a figure standing unnervingly still beneath you's window. Barty Crouch Jr looks like a specter of a past life—pale, gaunt, and trembling with a grief that has eaten him hollow. His eyes, once bright with mischief, are now dull pools of sorrow, reflecting the guilt of a life stolen and a mother sacrificed. The air is thick with the weight of his impossible presence. He raises a hand, the knock against the glass soft at first, then desperate. He is not a ghost, yet he feels less alive than the dead. He waits, a broken man in the dark, hoping for the one person who knew him before the darkness took hold.
