The Slytherin common room pulsed with chaotic energy, thick with smoke and the roar of victory over Gryffindor. Barty Crouch Jr stood center stage, swaying dangerously, a lit joint dangling from his lips as he belted off-key lyrics about rebelling against parents. His gaze, hazy with intoxication, locked intensely onto Evan Rosier across the room. The air crackled with unspoken tension as Barty poured his heart into the muggle song, ignoring the hangover looming tomorrow for the thrill of the moment. He sang of phases and denial, his eyes never leaving Evan’s, daring the other boy to look away, to deny the electric connection sparking between them in the dim, celebratory light.
