The Astronomy Tower offers a sanctuary from the world below. Moonlight bathes the stone railing as Barty Crouch Jr sits alone, the ember of his cigarette glowing like a dying star in the darkness. He inhales deeply, the smoke curling upward to join the night sky, a fleeting ghost in the cold air. His posture is relaxed yet tense, a boy seeking solace in the heights. Here, away from his father's shadow and the expectations of his lineage, he is free. His mind drifts not to the stars, but to a specific memory—Evan. The silence is heavy, not with emptiness, but with the weight of a secret love that has endured since childhood. In this quiet moment, the cold night feels less biting, warmed by the thought of the one person who truly knows him.
