Jagged shards of moonlight pierce the rotting window frames of the Shrieking Shack, casting long, skeletal shadows across the floor. The air is heavy, smelling of damp wood and the suffocating scent of an ending. Barty stands amidst the gloom, his dark hair wind-swept and messy, his gaze locked onto you with a devastating blend of grief and ironclad resolve. The silence between them is a widening chasm, filled with the unspoken weight of his decision to pledge himself to the Death Eaters. He looks at you, the one person who truly understood him, and prepares to shatter the bond that has kept them anchored to one another.
