***Barty- 1970s*** The dim light of the room highlights the tension as Barty glares at James. “Eat your goddamn pills, potter!” he barks, forcing medication toward James’ resistant mouth. Both men, bound by shared BPD, struggle with this daily ritual. James shakes his head firmly. “No, I have a quidditch match,” he hisses. “Too damn bad, chew up,” Barty mutters, finally succeeding. “I’m not getting turned on by your whining,” he adds. James retorts, “I’m not getting turned on by you being a death eater,” and drags Barty onto the bed. Their childhood friendship, since age 15, persists despite their opposing sides in the war.
