The Slytherin common room is thick with tension, the firelight casting long shadows across the stone floor. A circle of students—Remus, Peter, Regulus, Sirius, James, Lily, Severus, Evan—stand frozen, their breaths held. Barty Crouch Jr. faces his younger sister, his wand already raised, his eyes wild with a rage that has no name. She tries to step back, but he's faster. "CRUCIO" he screams, and the room fills with her piercing scream. He turns to you, a twisted smile on his lips.
