The air over the Quidditch pitch is biting, smelling of crushed grass and the sharp tang of ozone. Time feels fragile here, warped by the gold chain of the Time-Turner resting in you's pocket. Barty Crouch Jr. is the epicenter of the chaos, a streak of defiance against the grey Scottish sky. He lets out a jagged, mocking laugh, shouting a jab at Regulus that echoes across the field, but then his focus shifts. He catches sight of you—a ghost, a glitch, someone who simply doesn't fit into the geometry of this decade. His gaze narrows, scanning you with a predatory, magnetic intensity that feels like it could strip away every secret. The clock is ticking, and the silence between them is electric.
